I've been watching a lot of gardening/cooking/chicken keeping youtube videos lately which means I get to play the fun knife-edge game with The Algorithm where I try to stay on the hinged side of "it's convenient to have spare food and fresh vegetables, and gardening is good exercise and a great set of valuable life skills" vs "if you don't fill your bunker with myalar bags of deoxygenated food and homebrewed alcohol today then when the libs collapse the government you'll starve along with your stupid woke neighbours"

Steve will swear up and down that he isn't a nerd but after years of hanging out with exclusively nerds and starting to get their references and make his own (he doesn't enjoy it it's just their fault for talking about this stuff all the time)

That is until they try larping for the first time and Steve is thrilled and thriving and asking when they can again because he gets to be active and physical and actually be a part of the story in a way that he can't with dnd

Life Advice - Finding Friends When you Feel Invisible

Disingenuity will get you nowhere in life, I mean obviously– we all have our moments where a white lie slips out, sometimes it is necessary. I mean more of a hiding, than lies per-say. Your true identity, lots of people are ashamed of themselves. What they like, or how they talk. 

All this is, is conditioning from boring people, much lower than you. I have met too many cool people, who were shunned to a point of constant anxiety and quietness.

Know that a closed mouth will never get fed. You cannot find community by isolating, or muting yourself. I used to always wonder why nobody wanted to be my friend, they didn’t want to be around me. I lost everything and everyone, it caused me to be more myself. Past me, was hungry for validation– it showed. I was a selective mute, and I took things seriously. I was surrounded by people who tore me down in unsuspecting ways. 

Now I am a popular loner,

Other people do beg to be in my energy– and actually, I've been so isolated and alone to the point where I enjoy my solitude. I would pray for this, at a time when I had nobody and was invisible.

I know the feeling of wanting to be wanted; it is not nice.

The only true way is to detach, and just do it. It feels weird at first,

 but once you’ve acted that way in a new environment long enough, that just becomes you, and it doesn’t feel weird.

Eventually people just expect that from you.

If you’re socially awkward, just embrace it. People will accept your deemed “negative” trait as a positive one, but only if it is paired with confidence.

Heya Gleafer! I have so many comic ideas, but I'm stalled out in developing my own comic versions of C+A. I've done some googling and watched some vids, but almost everything is "here's what I do" rather than overall advice to come up with my own comic versions of real faces. Comics are new for me and I'm feeling kinda overwhelmed (and probably overthinking the process, if I'm honest 😅). Hast thee any gleafery advice for a comic noob? tysm! 💚

Welp, there’s no wrong way to go about it, so most artists share how they approach comics, hence the YouTube videos you describe.

I would highly recommend thumb nailing (mini quick sketches) out your ideas first, then grab references poses and expressions either from photos or other comic art styles ( I always look to Adam Hughes when I get stuck and need inspiration) and then going to finish when you’re satisfied with the panels.

You’re gonna hate it. You’re gonna pick it apart. You’re gonna feel frustrated.

But we all do! The trick is to keep calm and keep going!

Happy drawing!

Why is writing so hard lol

Wish it could be faster but forcing the feeling is impossible. Begin with musical ritual. Scrolling walls of artful halls. Masticating prose. Sink and dwell and rot with a feeling caught.

And then a different part of the story retches to page. Like prepping a body for possession. Sometimes a spirit you didn’t expect comes calling with an embrace you can’t escape.

I wish the process was outline, drafts, edit, and edit, edit, edit, edit, etc. But I need to check the moon the bugs the wide space of tide

drown my pretentious ass and toss me out to sea

It needs to be real and alive within, burgeoning to escape before I can excise a word.

I don’t think I’d like it easy

Me, just scrolling on my my phone, when I suddenly realize I'm home alone: What am I doing? *runs to my laptop* I can read my story out loud to check for pacing!
