#to which I made a joke back

[places-people]

it is really hard sometimes dealing w how many people just. want talk to me about wanting to fuck my friends. Like cool. Cool cool cool. I get it. Yes they are very hot I know. Btw I had a crush on you for 2 months but this is also good

#Like I am aware I am not unattractive but I am also friends with people that decidedly make me look comparatively bad #which is NOT ON THEM god #I love them sm they’re my best friends and we talk daily this is not about them #this is just. idk a weird built up feeling over time ? #like. it is just. bad for your mental health probably to have this constant stream of people talking to you so they can hit on your friends #Like the number of times I have thought I have made a new friend or god forbid been flirted with only for it to segue into asking #about one of my other friends #it’s just. a lot #I literally brought a friend from out of town to a club once and people there who always ignore my existence #obvi got introductions #w/e i rolled that off bc I’m a good wingman I expect that #but later. dm’d me. on instagram. to invite *him* to a house party for them. I was not invited they just wanted me to pass it on lsnfhdgdgs #Anyway this is just coming up bc a guy I am now legit friends w but did have a crush on #made a joke about topping me #to which I made a joke back #knowing he was joking #and he hardcore backtracked #and reasserted that’s it’s not ‘bc I’m ugly’ / that we’re friends / HE WANTED TO SLEEP WITH MY FRIENDS MORE #anyway I’m ranting and I’m just. gonna go workout I guess lmao bye #Nate says stuff

I'm thinking abt that pretty fall leaves embroidery pattern post and about how like... it is categorically a repost, it's a reupload. right? a thing that is generally disliked. but because it's credited, it's genuinely boosting the artist in question. and it could ALWAYS be like this. reposting content could ALWAYS be a symbiotic relationship, but because sourcing back to the original creator of something is so uncommon, it's just easier to ask people not to repost it at all. and people still don't understand the difference. or they'll go to the effort of cropping out usernames/signatures to repost something, which is More Effort than literally crediting the creator of something you liked enough to want to repost. Like. I literally don't actually care if my own shit gets reposted, you have to understand. I just don't want it STOLEN. But "do not repost" is easier to write on my art than "you can repost this, but don't alter the image/remove my signature, don't you dare write 'credit goes to the artist' because that is not credit, please link back to my original post or someplace that you can actually find me. please use an actual link/url instead of writing a non-clickable link of my username, because making it text instead of a clickable link cuts the number of people who will go to the effort of visiting my own page in Half." All those aggregate themed accounts, those fuckin annoying as hell instagrams and facebook groups that are like "body positive art we love wamen 💕 hashtag feminism" and then MASS-STEAL plus sized art created by women, if pages like these that always go and steal my older self-portraits and other works... If they just put a link to my prints of those pieces in the text of those posts, or, fuck, my commission info page? I would literally be living on the moon right now. I would have a house on the moon

#there is actually nothing morally wrong with running an account that just reuploads ppl's artwork or their jokes or their cosplays #if you just put a VISIBLE LINK in the description of your post with proper credit then it would be beneficial for everyone #because you can get your little clout or whatever it is you want by putting a bunch of same-category content on a page #but nobody's getting fucked over because if your post blows up then people just get FUNNELED to the source #because it's placed so plainly where everyone can see it #and yeah it's better to retweet or reblog but #on the rare occasion that I see my shit reuploaded on tumblr WHICH IS WEIRD BC I MAKE MY OWN POSTS HERE but anyway #someone making their own post where they upload my stuff. and it's always the floral self portraits so let's say it's a post with all those #if I scroll to the bottom and it says like. Artwork by Serglesinner on Twitter <-- clickable link [Sergle's Prints] <-- clickable link #to my etsy #I'm like oh okay and all the anger leaves my body and I'm like ah I see. and I toss the rock aside #like oh okay so you actually care that a person made these pieces. Instead of posting the caption ''women <3'' or smth #like you've GOTTA die if you do that. but if you just link back #or if you go to the effort of writing like a description with a BLURB? like it's a damn museum. like a light paragraph of info #about what the art is and who made it and their links #I am literally sucking you in a strange and peculiar manner. that is extremely helpful #and maybe other artists don't want this AT ALL and they'd rather people not reupload even if it is credited #but I feeeeeeeeel. like 99% of the time this would solve the issue #reposters could genuinely be helping ppl. sometimes the repost gets more traction than the real thing #as long as it credits the creator then that's an okay thing to happen! #that can land somebody a sale! a commission order! a new fan! A JOB #A JOB!!!!!!!!!! #sergle.txt #I didn't write this eloquently AT ALL what the fuck ever barkbarkbarkbark

so sonic prime part 2 is looking great

come on wildbrain. TWO multiverses??? (cross-fandom context: sonic prime and ninjago are produced by the same studio. ninjago just revealed it’s latest season is ALSO about multiverse stuff. shenanigans abound.)

#also i just think everyone needs a cowboy sonic au. i KNOW it was the one people made the most jokes about back when prime dropped #art✨ #ninjago #ninjago dragons rising #sonic #sonic prime #nya ninjago #kai ninjago #zane ninjago #lloyd garmadon #cole ninjago #jay walker #<- sry i know it’s clunky but for personal tag sorting (helps me see all my character art) #originally drafted this back when prime dropped and the joke was that he looked up and saw the ninjago logo in the sky like the lego movie #this joke is so much funnier i’m glad i waited. ALRIGHT which one of you color coded protagonists broke the universe *NOW??*

Great Frog is such an accurate indie band name. I feel like the writers were trying to come up with a really silly name and maybe it was actually ridiculous for the time but this could be the name of a local band from my midwestern hometown 100%

#I’ve been to house shows with band names like #Of Frogs and Toads #Toady #Frog-Frog #I’m not making that up I promise #or like Toad the Wet Sproket is a good example of something similar #also there’s a band called Frog and they actually have a pretty good album called Grog #which also sounds like a joke but it isn’t #my favorite Frog songs are Goes w/o Saying and #Gone back to Stanford #if you’re looking for recommendations #roy harper #teen titans #just made me giggle because Great Frog is sooo a band name #like if I looked that up on Spotify or SoundCloud something would pop up for sure

#raboot #i think this was like. someone making a joke about middle-evos being the teenage emo phases and then taking it to the next level #and then they made drizzile and took it to the NEXT level but we'll get THERE when we get there #i really like drizzile. personally #this post is not about drizzile. i think raboot is Okay #i think they take an aesthetic with scorbunny‚ abandon it‚ and then bring it back for cinderace #which normally i would dislike because i feel like it should stay consistent but honestly i really like it here #it shows a cool progression in the personality of this pokémon #starting out an energetic kid who runs around and sets shit on fire. then grows up a bit and is a really reserved and edgy teen #only to grow up some more and go back to their real self and their fur colors and design reflects that… i think it's cute

Idk man. Not a fan of the theory / headcanon about Moonpaw hearing the voice of the sibling she absorbed in utero. That gets a little too close to "fetuses have souls" for me to feel comfortable around and I seriously hope that's not what's gonna happen. Chimerism doesn't make you into two people. It's not conjoined twins. She's just one cat made with two sets of genes. We don't have to get too weird about how bodies just naturally turn out sometimes. Idk.

#(obviously this is just my opinion and you're free to ignore it. everyone is entitled to their own opinion) #maybe I'm also a little tired of uncommon physical conditions being used in weird ways in fiction #sometimes people just look or act a certain way and it doesn't make them psychic or whatever #i should honestly just block the moonpaw tag bc i am tired of people being weird about this cat #this isn't even getting into the incest jokes or the ''UMMM ACTUALLY she's not a real chimera'' posts which i am fuuuucking sick of #and I'm not even a person looking for moonpaw posts on purpose!! they just come up in blogs i look at or my for you tab #and I'm already so so so so tired #that said i am looking forward to drawing her later. i already have ideas for her shape and made a quick sketch to come back to someday #i might delete this post later so I don't have to think about this issue when i look at my blog. idk. I'm just venting

It caught me off guard but there’s this exchange between Hosea and Arthur that for me happened right after the bear hunt, where Arthur suddenly says his back hurts, and Hosea gleefully says “well lie down and let me get crackin” and Arthur is like haha NOOOooooo! no thank you I am backing away from this interaction haha! the implications are killing me

1. Hosea gives back massages

2. Hosea is extremely enthusiastic

3. Said massages are terrifying for the recipients, to the point that it has become a running joke in the gang.

#red dead redemption 2 #rdr2 #I. also like the idea of him actually giving a massage when needed not as a joke or intimidation tactic #but also I feel like maybe. Dutch tried to order him to give an unneeded back massage when Hosea was in the middle of something #and Hosea pinned him down and meticulously passive aggressively cracked all his joints and wrenched all his joints loose #in a medically helpful but completely unsettling way #you made me put down my goddamn book I'll give you a goddamn massage but I am leaving my bedside manner with the book #which you made me put down on the other side of camp. #Dutch got up fully relaxed and flexible. and shaking in his boots. a full hour later. #he was not allowed to opt out when he thought they were done #hosea matthews #talk to me about the ginseng and crime novel loving old man #edit: found the actual context for this it's in the notes

so tired of people saying elias would be gay and homophobic..... that man lived through the death penalty for homosexuality. even just a letter expressing affection could be enough to get someone imprisoned. he was over a century old when it stopped being completely illegal to be gay and it was still illegal to talk about being gay until he was over 2 centuries and gay marriage wasnt even legal at that point. come the fuck on

#i KNOW its a silly little joke but like most of the other silly little jokes in this fandom i despise it #elias bouchard #jonah magnus #tma spoilers #death penalty for sodomy was rolled back in 1861 and it was still 10yrs minimum punishment #(rolled back after around 300 years of the death penalty. By The Way) #criminal law amendment act 1885 made any male homosexual act illegal #in 1967 the wolfenden report's recommendations were implemented #and it partially legalised private same sex acts between men over the age of 21 #PARTIALLY. #section 28 - which banned 'promoting homosexuality' and prohibited education or projects percieved to do so was rolled back in 2003 #15 years after its introduction. #and it was 10 years later that gay marriage (as opposed to 'civil partnerships') was legalised. #come the FUCK on

hm. i do not like chilshi 🤔

#sylph.txt #everyone likes to joke abt how much of an epic divorce man chilchuck is #but i dont think he ever even refers to her as his ex-wife. i could b wrong bc it's been a while since i read it tho #idk a lot of his arc is him learning to b more open w others (which is essentially what ended his relationship) #and u can see how much he's grown in the chapter where senshi goes into his past #to me it would b a lot sweeter for him to take on these lessons and go back to her and make things work #it's been 4 years but he's remained loyal to her depite their issues. idk to me it rlly does feel like he still loves her he's just a fool #it's made p clear that he's a coward and that he's quick to run away so actually committing to her would b a nice way to wrap things up #we don't get to see much of his wife so i get y ppl r quick to put him w the only other man in the party #but like senshi knows abt his wife too like i do not think he's gnna b making any moves here bc he has morals lmao #(*only other older man in the party. laios doesn't qualify for old man yaoi to most chilshi likers) #(even tho chilchuck isn't old either but shh they don't care abt that) #when it comes to senshi the changeling chapter def helped him w understanding how old the rest of the party is #but he clearly still views them as significantly younger than him #i don't think he views chil as a child anymore but for the majority of their time together he did #and so going from that to in a relationship is uhh rlly weird to me! #senshi has always taken a sort of parental role upon himself #w him romance is no where as interesting as the platonic bonds he has w the rest of the party #similar to how romance is entirely unimportant to izutsumi in the succubus chapter #idk i def don't hate the pairing and there r some takes on it that i find funny #but for me i just don't see anything between them i think ppl just want an m/m ship to play with #that ao3 gap is only gnna get bigger lmao

[adhdandcomics]

adding to my tags because i’ve been thinkin a lot about the post i just reblogged and have more thoughts:

i’ll be real, the more i saw ‘hey adhd influencers are so annoying’ the more i worried that i was unconsciously contributing to the spreading reputation of adhd folks as annoying and over-pathologizing every symptom they experience

and then i realized. i am not a goddam influencer or life coach or representative. obviously i have some obligation as someone who cares about myself and the people that like my comics to not spread harmful ideology or blatant misinformation but i never intended myself to be a “’increase your productivity!!’ blog OR a ‘if you have XYZ you have adhd!’ blog. and i do this for fun, and originally started this blog bc i had a lot of internalized shame and self loathing about my adhd and thought if i could make it funny i might have less of that. let’s get real! and it worked!

i’ve obviously done this kind of thing— (hey these symptoms might be adhd!) a lot before in my life & on this blog, but there’s more to it than trying to be an “influencer” or whatever. a term that didn’t even exist when i started this blog!

i felt very isolated trying to find out if i had any mental problems & what have you originally because of large advice (etc) blogs with staunchly anti self Dx views at the time

so i overcorrected when i DID get dxed and tried to validate everyone who was like me. and of course. not the best course of action always for the ol mental health. tried to be the source of positivity and jokes that i didn’t see because the online adhd presence was near non-existent.

and anyway. i make a lot of fun of myself & the way m brain works in my comics obviously but it is not my obligation to... how do you say.... not be annoying online.

because if folks interpret MY little jokes as a strict guide to diagnosis. that’s on them, really, not me. i also believe “making adhd your entire personality” is a non-issue. so what if people find out they have it and get over excited with identifying as adhd. saying this as someone who DID do it. criticism of this gives the same vibes as people being annoyed that young queers make “being queer” their whole personality. im very obviously more than a guy with adhd, and id reckon other adhd comic artists are too. (im friends with a lot of them!) it’s fine to post about it online.

anyway. i just don’t take myself too seriously and i’m a comic artist for myself first! and you know what, i’ve been considered annoying my entire life. what do i care if a few more folks think i’m annoying. neurotypical or not

#i think the article did have some good points especially on the capitalism and marketing angle but i oft think it did venture into #being mad at individual folks who post jokes about adhd. which is literally fine thats what an opinion piece is for lol #i am just very tired of people pretending that a lot of reaction to online adhders is not in itself just an extension of the ableism #we already were facing #'adhd people are so annoying everyone does this youre pathologizing everything' ok and how exactly are you helping. #i hesitate to throw my hat in with hating on adhd tiktok because i am simply not on tiktok and have no way to back up my thoughts #that they may be annoying and oversimplifying a complex disorder on the 'drains your attention span' website. #and i think perhaps the value of each adhd resource varies widely depending on who made it and what theyre even posting. #sometimes its a joke made by a person with adhd. sometimes its sourced and cited research. sometimes its someone discussing their personal #experiences in depth. sometimes its someone talking completely out of their ass. sometimes its THINLY veiled ableism. #its up to the individual to research and determine the value of the memes and resources you seek #anyway. perhaps these points are tough to clarify on sites like insta and twitter. bless. #text #adhd #im punk now #oh and yeah i also agree lots of folks do not talk about the unsavory parts of adhd but rather the funnies and the sillies. but that is #once again a larger capitalism and marketing and ableism problem #r we not talking about them because we are actively trying to infantalize this disorder or is it because we collectively experience a lot #of internalized ableism and hesitate to talk about our worst symptoms for fear of the backlash #weve always gotten about them 🤔🤔🤔 #much to consider #if youve read this far sorry for tangent number 56 about this. but also start being more unapologetic about your disorders. fuck it! #<3

here's some sketches of Jailbroken AU, AKA the chronicles of 'what if a Deltarune modder got creepypasta-style isekai'd for trying to hack their Kris and now they're stuck in a get-along shirt with a depressed teen while the world's most ineffective .exe tries to knife them every 2 seconds.' there's two Krises and that makes it a Krisis by default!

it's also got an overarching plot in there somewhere probably

Bonus: Kris (and their Player) find the point(s)
