HOUSEKEEPING THINGS

1. MESSAGE TO OLD FOLLOWERS: so sorry that took so damn long. Normally i try not to treat this blog like a job but that was kind of ridiculous so i feel like an apology is in order. I fully overestimated just how much stuff i wanted to draw for this bit and i did not expect my blog to be held ransom by cartoon characters for two months but here we are. Thank you guys for being cool and patient about my hubris! I hope it was worth the wait. And if not, here is your money back. (placing imaginary money in your hand)

2. MESSAGE TO NEW FOLLOWERS: hi. Welcome to my blog! Thank you for taking an interest in my jokes. Because my blog has been held ransom by cartoon characters for two months i should probably emphasize that this is not an ask blog and is in fact just a regular blog, that happened to be held ransom by cartoon characters for two months. I do still draw wario comics though! A lot! So if you're into that, then you're in the right place.

3. THE ASKBOX SITUATION: So prior to mona stealing my login info this april you may have noticed that i shut down my askbox and turned off the lights. There was a couple reasons for that

3a. I accidentally got addicted to the internet

3b. I accidentally got so addicted to the internet that tumblr thought i was a premier hashtag super mario poster presumably solely based on the fact that i did not shut up for five days straight and so for several weeks it redirected every new person that said they liked mario to my blog and i thoguht they were all spam bots so i freaked it

4. WHAT I'M GOING TO DO NOW

4a. Freak it

4b. Just kidding

4c. WARIOWARE CAMPING!!! Currently I am in a tight spot Schedule wise however the next page is well on its way (had been put on pause due to april fools fiasco) and so it should be ready soon. If nothing else this experience has taught me how to pump out a fucking lot of comics so although i intend to make these drawings much higher in quality i will do my best to get the ball rolling!

4c. RANDO DRAWINGS: Also soemthing that I have to work on is not dropping off the face of the earth when I don't have a comic to post so I will be posting some fun little extras in between comics. I sometimes feel guilty when i do that cause i'm like "that doesn't count as a post" which is kind of dumb if you ask me. So i will be posting some art on my art blog going forward

4d. THE ASKBOX SITUATION: THE SQUEAKUEL: So you see my issue is I don't want to get addicted to the internet or overwhelmed or attacked by droves of spam bots and/or innocent civilians BUT i still want to have asks open because i like talking to you guys and i miss it. SO, i will compromise by opening my askbox on weekends, so that way i can have the best of both worlds. Maybe i will expand the ask window later on if i can behave myself but we'll see how it goes.

4e. FIXING MY BLOG THEME: Idk if i'm going to change it back to the pitcher plant pic but i do want to make it not be this. I might make a slightly updated theme that matches my content better so i might put a different warioware banner up there but idk i feel bad kicking out the plant. How are we feeling. The brave little toaster thing in my icon is staying no matter what though sorry.

5. OK THAT'S ALL BYE: Bye

[girl-hobbit]

blaurgh... it's my dad's birthday today (yippee btw!!! he's 54 now hehe!! 🥳🎉🎂) but i ate too much of his birthday cake and now my tummy hurts and im gonna frow up :/ (consequences of my hubris)

hashtag 🎉 #cakemistake 😔

[illbestarryeyedforyou]

I always see you reblog posts with the hashtag someday or fatherhood. How do you stay positive in those days when you feel kinda sad it hasn't come yet? (if you ever feel that way)

hmm, interesting question —

I could be a goof about it and just say that straight up delusion keeps me positive about such life or dream of mine hahaha, but I'll try to be more honest.

Keep in mind that it's different for everyone, okay? 😊😊

Firstly, for the "someday" because it's more broad with stuff like life goals, life, family, love, adventure, etc- ...I understand my reality or where I'm at in life. I accept that I've rejected advancement in relationships, career opportunities, and travel opportunities in general. At the same time, I've also made peace that I've missed out on opportunities when it pertains to the same things. But mostly important, I acknowledge that some setbacks or missed opportunities were due to my immaturity, mental health, inexperience, and hubris. I just didn't know better.

And that's okay.

So that's step one: understanding the reality of my situation and where I am in life.

And, well at least for me, it does get lonely, quiet (or loud depending on how you see it), hopeless, meaningless, and disheartening feeling as though you won't be able to experience joy in life or love in general.

However, I'm just optimistically in love with life ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I will always choose to or try my best to remain in love with life because each day is a new day and you never know what it might bring. I'm intentionally choosing to make the most of what I have currently in my life and appreciate it. I'm choosing to be grateful for the friends I've made and currently have. Cherish them as much as I can. Moreover, where I'm at in life is not where I'll be forever. Meaning, maybe I have a job I don't enjoy.. I can always find another one or endure it for the sake of survival, and saving up money until I find a better job.

I'm trying not to ramble and make sense at the same time —

Do I want love? YES. I want to be that person someone wants to call to talk to and wish good night. I want to be that someone's daydream. I want to be someone's good thing. And everything else I've reblogged about love. And I will. I'm hopeful I'll find them or they'll find me 😊😊 and when that happens, forever will start.

Until then, I gotta keep growing as a person, friend, family member, and man. I gotta keep trying to be the best version of myself every day 😊😊

That being said, try not to drown in the longings to where it becomes an ocean of sadness. It's okay to want that and grieve for it as well BUT get the fuck up, look up, and breathe. You'll get all of that in due time 😊😊

Tumblr is a good place to read this post I'm about to paraphrase - you ever came across that text post about romanticizing your life? DO THAT. Be in love with the life you currently have, love your friends, family and yourself. Make the most of what you have and what you can experience, all while being excited and curious about your tomorrows 😊😊

It's not easy, and it will never get easier to deal with those sad, lonely and empty days, but it'll be worth it. time will pass anyways so you might as well be good in it 😊

As for "fatherhood"?

I think the fact that I'm an uncle to 10+ niblings makes it easier for me to deal with that "missing part" of my life hahaha—

There's not really much to explore other than the fact that I hope someday I get the opportunity to be a dad or be seen as a father figure? Whether it's biologically or as a step dad. That's all. I don't know if it will ever happen, that's out of my control like most things, BUT I really really really hope it does. I feel like I could make the best dad/step dad out there 😊😊😊

———

okay.. this is how I approach life, anon. It's messy, and chaotic and extremely delusional, but I try to take a minute or two to appreciate what I do have and even if I have nothing, I'm choosing to remain optimistically in love with life. 😊😊

thank you so much for the ask, anon. I hope I made sense(?) and this helps you in any small way in figuring out how to deal with those difficult days. Good luck, rooting for you. 😊✌🏽

another notes doc i was looking through

theres this game called The Path, very good but a bit wonky control wise just bc it's old and not very big budget or anything from what i remember. 6 girls all represent different stages of life and specific kinds or trauma. on one hand i just want to draw dick as all of them, on the other hand i still wanted to consider the other robins.

dick as carmen/sexy red (17) the type to say "im 17, im basically an adult" "im mature for my age" "its fine, i knew what i was doing" hashtag trauma moment +bonus dick as scarlet/stern red (19) for the eldest daughter solidarity

jason as ginger/tomboy red (13) punk lil scamp

tim as rose/innocent red (11) curious, kind, and a bit wide-eyed reminds me of tim before the angst caught up with him

damian as robin/kid red (9) animal whisperer defeated via hubris

??? as ruby/goth red (15) she may be the fan/creator favorite but im not that interested in her a teenaged dick, if anyone

i also kind of wanna make it just dick at different ages werewolf & cloud wolf stay the same kori as girl in white & girl in red wolf eddie hwang as charming wolf slade as woodsman wolf bruce as fey wolf

[rollercoasterwords]

not to sound like an insane person but you seem so cool and smart and i love reading your fics, your posts, and even just your commentary in the hashtags of a reblog!!! if we were in a book club together i would walk away from our conversations thinking “god, i’ll never be that cool and i’ll never sound that smart but maybe i can be their friend and i can learn something from them”

u do not sound like an insane person u sound so so smart and correct my hubris is a beast that i drag around on a leash please never stop feeding it 💕

Unlike folksonomy projects in museums in which crowd-sourced categories float on top of museum catalogs yet rarely, if ever, enter a dialog with the formal key words of museum collection management systems, the Instagram tagging system both constitutes the archival qualities of the platform and demonstrates the ways in which classificatory systems are in fact not a priori, but created out of a networked infrastructure of images.

Haidy Geismar, Instant Archives?, in The Routledge Companion to Digital Ethnography, hg. von Larissa Hjorth et al. Routledge, 2017: 331–43, 337

"Yet it is the very sociality of Instagram and the ways in which it forges networks of images that is also the most profound regulator of the production of normative images. The archival logic of Instagram revolves around an infrastructure of value forged by the formation of classi- ficatory systems based on user appreciations, underpinned by the epistemological logic of the hashtag. Not only does this have a practical application, in the exploitation of these circuits of appreciation in the form of commercial interest, it also in part might explain the emergence of particular genres within the platform." p. 338

"While liking and commenting form the basis of large numbers of community, even larger numbers of Instagram images are in fact not instantiations of self-making or identity in rela- tion to culture, practice, politics or sociality. Rather, they are vehicles expressly designed for the interconnection between aesthetic contemplation and taste making, uploaded specifically to engender social networks of appreciation." 339

"Historically there have been numerous failed attempts at total archiving projects from Warburg’s Mnemosyne project to the Mundaneum. These projects, like that of Google’s book project or even its search engine, might be understood as a kind of imperial hubris, like the mapping project described by Borges in his short story “On the Exactitude of Science.” However, platforms such as Instagram can be seen as new forms of archives of the everyday, constructing a predetermined and emergent infrastructure through which persons circulate in the digital world as assemblages of taste and, by extension, work collectively to construct new forms of value. It is the archival logic that produces the qualities of Instagram that are of such interest to analysts—the classificatory system of the hashtag, the normativity of genre production and the self-identification of users within this new normative and visible public sphere. Instagram opens up the possibility of registering or archiving a slice of reality that was absent in the traditional archive, and in so doing makes it possible to incorporate that into circuits of value and the production of meaning. Thinking of Instagram as an archive allows us to make sense of the ongoing tensions about the visual economy, the monetization of user data, the corporate structure of the interface, alongside the analysis and understanding of user-generated content." p.341f.
