i watched one (1) video on how to draw hands that changed my life forever. like. i can suddenly draw hands again
these were all drawn without reference btw. i can just. Understand Hands now (for the most part, im sure theres definitely inaccuracies). im a little baffled
You know, that Mythbusters post legitimately changed my life. Before seeing it, I had exponentially more guilt and stress about not being able to sleep, which of course, further exacerbated my inability to sleep.
Now, every time I wake up about three am, knowing I have to get up at 6.45, instead of stressing and panicking about how my day is going to be sleep deprived and miserable, I just tell myself 'Time to activate Mythbusters Protocol' and lie there with my eyes closed safe in the knowledge that I am measurably reducing later feelings of exhaustion.
And when this happens, about 70% of the time the reduction of guilt and stress means I actually do fall back asleep, so all in all instead of getting only three or four hours sleep, I get five to six and a half.
Which y'know, major improvement in health and energy.
THE END!! I can't believe I finally completed this. When I first started this comic, I had no idea that it would end up being this long. A little over 3 years and over 200 parts, so around 2000 panels. (My folder that holds all my files relating to this comic is 3 GB with 2,017 items....). I honestly can't believe that I managed to stick around to the end of this. Thank you all so much for the support, I never imagined that so many people would care about this comic when I started it!
Of course, there are still some loose threads. The kwamis and Nathalie for example, but the core of this series has always been about the emotional conflict between Marinette and Adrien, and that has been resolved. I have some epilogue ideas to cover those loose ends, but this comic has already taken so much of my time and I'm not sure I want to promise that I'll get around to it. ... But who knows. Maybe!
For now, Adrien and Marinette will get some long-deserved rest.
adrien gets really into coding one day because it's the first thing he's ever taught himself without having the expectation of necessarily Doing Well. he uses w3schools or something and when the very first exercise asks him to practice the difference between <h1> <h2> <p>, and font families, naturally the text he chooses to experiment with is 'I love Marinette'.
the thing is, this sticks. all the way through the more advanced lessons. and he doesn't really notice it because he works with it every single day until one day marinette is using his laptop for something and stumbles upon a professional level webpage with five different tabs and animated scrollbars and photo galleries of her face and it's all under the heading 'I love Marinette'.
He鈥檚 one of those streamer guys who鈥檚 scary good at it and everyone thinks he鈥檚 so worldly but nope the fact is he just has literally nothing else to do but learn how to recognize the Latvian countryside
