#not post

[borderlinereminders]

I recently saw someone venting about someone coming onto their positive post about their parent to complain about how it “must be nice” and then proceeded to post a bunch of negative stuff they experienced.

I get a lot of these comments on my positive posts. I’ve kind of learned to tune them out because they’re exhausting. But I see them and I know exactly what this person is talking about. I’ll make posts about what I’ve accomplished and the amount of “wow must be nice. It’ll never happen for me though” is kind of… overwhelming. I have begun just tuning them out and scrolling on but I don’t blame anyone for being bothered by them.

There isn’t much point to me posting this except that I really encourage you to think about what you’re posting on other people’s posts. Yes, it’s a public platform but it doesn’t mean stuff won’t weigh on people.

It is so beyond exhausting to have someone meet your positive experience with negativity. You’re allowed to feel negative things and talk about them but it just doesn’t mean it’s completely appropriate to do on someone’s positive post.

I hope that you all get to experience more positive things. Truly.

One of the little details I really loved in Mutant Mayhem is that Donnie has an iPhone 6+/6S+, and April has an iPhone 5S/SE

It's such good character flavor and says a lot about who they are/ their life (at least it does to me) and I love it so so much

For reference, the iPhone 15 came out this year. The 5's and 6's aren't even on the IOS anymore and are basically the oldest iPhones you'll see anyone use. The only people I see come in with these models are young teens who inherited hand-me-downs, and 60+ yr olds.

Donny uses a two-part case that surrounds the screen bezel and home-button, which is super reminiscent of the custom print cases that were popular in the 2010's.

The amount of care and personalization expressed on their phones really speaks to how much they value them, much like a young teen with their first smartphone would.

And also April's cute egg charm

That's flavor baby!!!

Aaaand we're back!

Man that was a busy few months. Work & family really picked up and this blog had to take the back burner for a bit, but I've had a bit more downtime and I've been making posts!

The posts are going to be changing up slightly - one of the things I was struggling with was writing out events, so I've decided to switch over to a more drawing-based look (the classic "page with panels for each event" style most blogs use).

I'm excited to be starting up again, expect a few panels this week starting tomorrow!

Here's a sneak peek at some sketches, and the background that'll be used for the pages:

shoutout to everyone who wants to infodump but cant string together coherent thoughts to form sentences and instead just look at you like this

pro-AI in the sense of "they taught a bread scanning computer to recognize cancer cells" etc etc

against AI in the sense of "we stole artwork from hundreds to thousands of artists, didn't credit them and didn't financially compensate them"

I keep seeing people use this image as a reaction to people's original posts:

Which I think is really incorrect, because with an original post they haven't come up to ur window, u've come up to their window.

So I made this, as a more accurate reaction for original posts:

Last page of the short comic will be coming on Thursday! I haven't had much of a buffer and I won't be able to draw before the update time tomorrow, so I'l just take my time and get the page out without rushing.

Once the short comic is done I'll likely take a couple days break and then be back with year 2 moon 6!

reminder that donating just a few $ to gofundme campaigns actually helps, you don't have to donate huge amounts if you don't have the funds, every little bit is useful. give $10, $5, even $1. it all adds up. don't scroll past because you think you can't help. help in your own capacity. donate a dollar. share and speak up.
