Help! Am I responsible for teaching my children how to act in public??????

Carolyn Hax, Washington Post, 12 April 2024:

Dear Carolyn: On a recent vacation, our family (including two teenagers) was at a restaurant for lunch. We had not had any food yet when I noticed dried food on my water glass. After the server brought our ordered drinks, I calmly noted the food on my glass and asked for a clean one. No drama, and the server was a pro — no hesitation, brought a new glass and comped us a bottle of water. The hiccup? My teenagers were appalled and embarrassed, basically implying I’m a Karen for first failing to just live with the dirty glass and second not apologizing profusely before asking for a clean one. I tried to explain that part of being served includes clean everything, but they were unpersuaded. Did I miss something? Is this a generational thing? Literally made no fuss at all and did not suggest anything be comped. But I’m feeling defensive. How to communicate that it’s okay to politely ask for corrections when things are amiss? — Anonymous

Dear Anonymous —

This is a generational thing and there's nothing you as a parent can do to improve your children's behavior now, nor was there anything you ever could have done to shape the way they act in the world, their understanding of social norms, their expectations, or how they treat other people.

Kids turn out the way they are because of the generation they were born into, which doesn't have anything to do with the people who raised them or who created the society they live in.

Take heart: you're one of many millions of parents of Gen Z-ers whose offspring are just really into drinking out of dirty glasses. We'll never know why. It's one of the great mysteries of our time, but the good news is that this isn't your problem. There's absolutely no way to teach this particular generation of young people how to order food at restaurants, and even if there were, it wouldn't be on you as their parent to do it. Kids these days just love filthy dishware.

Summary: Danny had actually been looking forward to Casper High's ghost safety assembly, but, between a ghost attack and his parents' newest weapon, things go wrong very quickly. Now Danny will have to fight not only ghosts and hunters but his own instincts to get everyone back home safely. If at all.

Mortified - the Final Chapter

It's the last one. It's been a journey, everyone. :)

I am very proud of this ☺️ It's a book. It looks like a book. It feels like a book!!

But anyway, this is the first 42 chapters of Mortified by Fiverivers handbound into a book ☺️ (Comparing to the fact that the fic is currently 300 chapters long, this is just a fraction of the fic and this already made a decent size book)

Of course there are things I can improve. For example I was aware of the fact that the black paper I had was the wrong grain direction. I knew it, and I knew that every tutorial emphasized the importance of right grain direction. But like it's just the end paper how bad could it be? When the paper started to wrinkle while gluing I knew I had no one but myself to blame but in the end I actually managed to smooth it out quite well

Other thing is trimming the sides. They don't look terrible, but I didn't have the courage attempt to trim the whole textblock. Instead I just cut the signatures to the proper size before sewing

I guess I’ll call this a sneak peek. I’ve got approval from @five-rivers to start this off and I’ll stick with it as long as my ADHD will allow it.

I’ve never made a comic before and have no idea what I’m doing 😂

I’ll probably release this a chapter at a time so… 300 chapters 😅😅

Here’s the flat colours! Next is to work out what style of shading I’m going for. I’ll also be making character sheets.

No wonder people usually only do this with a whole team

i finished a long-term project, concept sketches for the major arcana of an imaginary tarot deck based on Mortified by @five-rivers!

this is the second attempt, after some re-assessment, and the reason some of them have a different art style is because they went unchanged from the first attempt. a lot of thought went into the symbolism here, so feel free to ask me about it! i am thinking about changing the order to make more sense thematically, though. also if anyone wants to draw these in a less sketchy way feel free👉👈

close-ups under the cut!

if the ghost courts made me drink a little memory potion and sign a restraining order so I can never perceive my parents that killed me for at least—if not forever—a decade, I would just slam some ibuprofen and perceive them anyway. rip to danny but I'm built different

PLEASE, for the sake of my sanity, stop saying "mortified" when you mean "horrified." I am begging you. ;_;

Horrified = dismay/disgust.

Mortified = dismay/disgust and personal embarrassment.

If the primary emotion you want to convey is not embarrassment, you do not want to say you were mortified. You want to say you were horrified.

You know, this really shouldn't come as a surprise, but the silly ships I did in Mortified have actually grown on me. All (counts on my fingers) three of them.

Sarah/Mia, Star/Mikey, and Paulina/perfect clone for the win, I guess?
