“So God forbid I'm seen just as an average human being
I mean, imagine if antagonists lacked any evil scheme
I'm the gap between a tragedy and comedy
Don't come at me
I'm the main character and you have to like me”
-”Main Character”, Will Wood
So like. this may be the sassiest Wormman I have ever drawn. And i kind of love him. A lot. Also yes the comic book cover Is a direct recreation of the one by @/stormsketch aka Maxzilla. I felt it was fitting. But yea no this song is a bop and it fits Wormman a lot.

So this is something I’ve been working on for the past week or so (it was the sketch that took the longest, I only did colors today and was done way quicker)
I was listening to “Little Talks” by Of Monsters and Men, and it made me think of Des and his wife, as if the female voice was his and the male voice was her ghost
I was tempted to put in lyrics to the song in the drawing or description, but I thought that might have been too silly. Maybe I’m being too paranoid though. But I would have put in the bridge part of the lyrics
I actually do artworks based on songs I listen to and the vibe they give me, but I usually don’t finish them because I get sidetracked. But I might post whatever few I’ve actually finished if want to see them
not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]
If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)
At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.
Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.
for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal
before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"
and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"
