The Future Isn’t What It Used To Be

The film began with a black screen. A metal limb comes down like a hammer crushing a human skull, it almost got my brother and me leaping out of our seats. I remember the beating on my chest as the camera then faded in to reveal a post-apocalyptic wasteland littered with skulls, heaps of crackling fire, twisted metal, and hankering smoke and ash of a sky, sickly orange. This is the aftermath…

I wonder if she takes cash or credit.

a new self indulgent comic, another fork found in the kitchen

i ramble about their dynamic and this comic under the cut

this interaction is out of the ordinary!!! i don't think either of them are needy; but we all have our moments lol. i'm not a fan of shadow being a huge tsundere because I don't think he is. I think he's just scared of caring and it's difficult for him to vocalize his feelings but when he does it comes out super blunt, but he's always direct. also he's autistic so. yeah. communication between the two of them would've gotten better as they got older - I could nawttt see them getting together while in their teens so anytime I draw them they are at least 20/21. as much as sonic likes to tease shadow i think he'd genuinely recognize and appreciate how hard shadow tries to communicate with him and how hard it is for him to do that. gentle teasing would ensue but I don't think sonic would do anything to discourage shadow from opening up early on in their relationship. I need to organize my thoughts on these better but I have a bunch of longer comic ideas sketched out that explore their dynamic and them as individuals that I'm excited about.

Letters to all my supernaturals friends ✉︎

[friedricebunny]

i'm really so curious how deeply tbhx is gonna go with its whole premise of "heroes are made and gain powers based on trust" because i really wasn't anticipating that

1) moon/xiao yueqing has teleportation-based powers but because everyone wants her and nice to stick together, her teleportation leads back to nice which was INSANE to me

and

2) lin ling is becoming increasingly more worried about being clean and perfect which is a side effect of nice's image of perfection which is indicating that this whole trust system can have mental effects??? and that's horrifying to me???

we are 2 episodes in, how deep is this gonna go

I haven't seen this on Tumblr yet. Cory Booker has held the floor of the Senate for a 16 hour and counting filibuster and it's all streaming on YT. Currently almost 30k people are watching. You can become one of them without even moving from your screen. In the category of "the absolute least you can do" to support a democrat actually doing something... maybe give it a watch.

Here's the comic I made for War Never Changes, a Fallout charity zine that's still available to puchase digitally here: link.

The captions are lyrics from Autopsy Garland by the Mountain Goats. I've been dreaming of making this for literal Years, and the mods for the zine let me do it for them! I'm still pretty proud of it, and only regret that I completely forgot to replace Col. Hsu with General Lee Oliver in the final. Sorry man.

Can I have your attention for a minute

It's nothing bad!

I wanted to share a little website with you, one i have used in the past. It's called Future Me.

All it is is a little web based word processor, that you fill in a letter to your future self, fill in your email address, pick a date, and hit send. The site will store the letter, and send it to your designated email on your designated date. It's completely free, though they accept donations if you like the service.

I've used this site for YEARS, it's not at all new, but it has at times been a little bastion of hope and good things for me. Every year on my birthday, I send a letter to myself, and I receive the one I sent the year before. I write about what I've been through that year, what I've accomplished, and what my hopes are for the year to come.

I have cried every single time I've gotten that letter. I know it's from me, but by the time it comes around, I've usually forgotten I sent it. But... every year on my birthday, I receive a letter from Past Me, who cared enough to sit down and have hopes about my future. And it makes me want to pay it forward to Future Me, and dare to hope that she, too, will remember that someone cared a lot about her future, and choose to keep going even further.

Anyway, I am giving you the link now, because there are definitely going to be rough times ahead of us, but I feel like maybe writing ahead to Future You, to the You that has made it past the rough times, might make them ever so slightly easier to endure. Knowing that Future You is waiting at the end of the line to welcome you, holding onto the letters you sent.

15 July 1926 Letters to Véra by Vladimir Nabokov

I'm proud of you

I'm proud of the way you've held it together when everything around you was falling apart

For all the mornings you got out of bed, even when the weight on your chest felt unbearable

For the way you still offer kindness with a heart that's been through so much

You love quietly, you carry pain silently

And still, you continue

You've come so far, you've grown in the dark, in silence, in moments where no one was watching

I see you, I believe in you, and I'm here for you

I will always be proud of you
