Poorly Planned Comics

The cartoonist used many names, most notably Jack Masters and Flimsy Parkins. His magnum opus, Poorly Planned Comics, was a metafictional catastrophe featuring several broken fifth walls, absurd theories about MAZE and Homestuck, poignant anticlimaxes, MS Paint abstract art, and the Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. This web site is a slowly growing archive of his work.

INSANE comic. Hard to recommend but there's nothing like it.

Ao3 is actually massively culturally important and very very good at being what it is. I’m so serious when I say that ao3 needs to be protected as the anti censorship, by fans for fans, nonprofit, volunteer run, expertly designed archival site that it is. You don’t have to read or like fanfiction to understand that on principle, ao3 is a site that should be defended.

If you use arab.org like I do please consider taking the extra 30-60 seconds to click on ALL of their causes. Palestine is important but so are the environment, refugees, children, women, and the impoverished across the middle east and it doesn't take away from Palestine to click for multiple causes. The arab world faces a lot of problems and they only get worsened by how western nations have oppressed and attacked them. Clicking is small but it generates something and overtime it does benefit the greater good. It takes all of us clicking as often as possible but we can do it! It's really easy and safe and they have proofs on their site on how they do make an impact and are donating your click money

Something feels..... OFF 🤨

thinking about the way ghost doesn't hesitate to start killing shadows when graves betrays them but soap only takes one hostage

you can almost hear the voice in his head telling him it doesn't have to be this way; they can still talk it out

"i'm calling shepherd"

his first instinct when confronted with betrayal is to play it by the books: to go up the chain. that goes against everything we've seen him do. he bucks authority at every chance except for the one time he's confronted with the barrels of his allies' guns

he wants a peaceful resolution; for the first time we've ever seen, he doesn't want violence to be the answer. there has to be another fix, a solution that doesn't end with him killing the same men he's been working with; his friends

nothing's happened yet

it doesn't have to go this way

but ghost has been betrayed before. he knows the way this ends; either with him six feet under or his enemy

he doesn't hesitate

it's only when they knock alejandro out that soap shoots; when they spill the first blood and cross a line they can never come back from

only when ghost orders him to run and he has to cover his retreat

and somewhere along the line, between civilians’ screams and taunting voices, between his shaking breath and ghost steady in his ear, that naivety is stripped away; his trust turned to teeth that he uses to sink into throats of men he'd have given his life for

"be careful who you trust, sergeant; people you know can hurt you the most"

he's learned the price of trust

just like ghost did

but unlike ghost, he has someone to guide him through the aftermath

"good advice, It"

yeah unless you're new here you'll know we fucking despise gaiman's disgusting ass around here but this is NOT the time to be 'gleeful' that his 'wholesome' reputation will finally collapse because 1- that's insensitive as fuck to the victims and 2- it is already horrible that his zionism was not 'enough' for people and it needed to 'get worse'. if anything you're about to see an even more insufferable wave of fan apologists and defenders and let's have some tact about who really matters here. the old man will be gone sooner or later but his victims will carry this with them for the rest of their lives.

5am thoughts: on the one hand, hotd expects its viewers to be smart enough to magically realize that s2 took place over the course of six months, pick up on the subtlest most nothing clues to deduce that laenor died offscreen, that rhaenyra had a religious reawakening to the gods of old valyria offscreen, that aemond went from devastation at becoming a kinslayer to gleefully burning entire regions of his kingdom as prince regent, and that alicent, who once stepped in front of a dragon for her son, is now willing to see him publicly beheaded at rhaenyra's earliest convenience, among a score of other things, but also dumb enough to not nitpick inconsistent timelines, geographical errors, and abrupt episode-to-episode changes in the characters.

"Rather than social media, consider starting a neocities or personal website! :D"

No.

I want a social media site.

where I can be social.

And take people's posts and go "ooh this is neat! Look at this guys!"

and then my friends go "oh wow that IS neat!"

I want to sit in a circle with my friends.

I don't want to get on a stage and be a one man show.

I find absolutely 0 joy in that.
