Sometimes it feels like you've lived your whole life in a house that's always a little bit on fire. Like it's usually just in one room and you make sure to wet the walls around it so it doesn't spread and that usually works. You were expected to take more responsibility over fire containment when you were like seven because it's not like you can expect your parents to always be 100% on guard about making sure the whole house doesn't catch fire, and you figure that's just how things are like.

And sometimes as a kid you visit your friends' homes and some of then whisper to you - grimacing with embarrassment - about how they're not supposed to tell anyone this, but there's a whole room in their house that's currently on fire. And you're like yeah it's ok I'm not supposed to tell people about the way our house is a little bit on fire all the time, too. And then you visit some other friend's house and there's no trace of fire anywhere, and you think "wow, these people are really good at hiding their house fire."

And one day you show up to work like "hey sorry I'm late, I forgot to wet the walls before going to bed last night and my whole house burned down", and you're startled by the way people react, acting like that must be the worst thing that has ever happened to you. And you're just like "chill, it's been years since the last time this happened, and it wasn't even that bad this time", and that just makes people more shocked, acting like that's the weirdest and most concerning thing they've ever heard anyone say, which only confuses you more.

And then someone tries to explain to you that people aren't supposed to have an ongoing house fire. Most people actually never experience a house fire in their lives. Like not even once. Not even a little bit. The normal amount of having your house be currently on fire is zero.

I wonder if vets are amused by asking cat owners to administer medications in increasingly improbable ways. “Give this cat eye drops five times a day.” Like. I will. Of course I will; I care about my cat. But this is going to be some fucking looney tunes shenanigans once she figures out what’s going on.

(2014) Behold, a bastardized Fanart Friday!!

I haven't played TF2 in a while but I was unsurprisingly a pyro main. I started with Heavy and enjoyed Scout and LOVED Engineer, I got REALLY good with Engineer XD But I only ever drew the Pyro.

it's always "you gnawed off your own leg to escape like an animal caught in a trap" and never "why didn't anyone try to help you out of the trap" or "why weren't you provided with any other resources to escape the trap with except for your own teeth"

(2012) Fanart Friday! Korra, from Legend of Korra!

Even now I'm SO proud of this drawing. I started Legend of Korra before I ever saw ATLA and was watching it when it was being released weekly online. I still remember sitting in my dingy college apartment obsessively waiting for each new episode to come out just biting my knuckles in anticipation. What a fun ride that first season was.

Aaaaa I've been so good about these. Hee! Happy THROWBACK THURSDAY! (2016) Here's my Five Heroes with their Enceladi: Hyale & Ambassador / Jericho & Changeling / Io, Suzanne & Loremaster / Fool & Oracle / Vespertine & Operator.

I've been working hard on my long form comic about the blorbos and their Shadows. For the first time in 15+ years it's all coherent and prepped for storyboarding. Almost 100k words!

Hope today is being kind to y'all <3
