At the time of the event, I wasn't really considering exactly what the strips were going to be about, but I knew I was going to be making strips. I mean, I kinda HAVE to considering what this comic is about. lol So, in meeting all these amazing creators, I didn't think to ask if I COULD tell those stories in the strip. And honestly, if I HAD thought of it, I highly doubt I would have had the nerve to have asked.

Hey so like. I was thinking about The Mechs' swimming habits since I was drawing my oc in his swimsuit aannnd...

You think Jonny exclusively doggy paddles like a child? Like, flailing his lims in an attempt to get himself anywhere? He just refuses to learn how to fucking swim and who the fuck cares if he drowns, he's immortal, he can essentially walk the sea floor if he wishes. So they just let him swim like a child and literally don't care

Devastating floods through much of Central Europe and deadly wildfires in Portugal are joint proof of a “climate breakdown” that will become the norm unless drastic action is taken, the European Union’s head office has said. “Make no mistake. This tragedy is not an anomaly. This is fast becoming the norm for our shared future,” said EU crisis management commissioner Janez Lenarcic. The worst flooding in years moved across a broad swathe of Central Europe on Tuesday, taking lives and destroying homes. At the other end of the 27-nation EU, raging fires through northern Portugal have killed at last six people. “Europe is the fastest warming continent globally and is particularly vulnerable to extreme weather events like the one we are discussing today. We could not return to a safer past,” Mr Lenarcic told EU politicians in Strasbourg, France.

If “this tragedy is not an anomaly,” it is, by definition, the norm. And it's only going to get worse.

Why does Facebook still put accounts on suspicion when we upload AI Art into our posts!?

Last Friday I met up with an old friend at the bar at the Brooklyn Museum before heading over the Botanic Garden to do some hanami. It was chilly and overcast, but the little cans of sake we snuck into the Japanese garden helped. As did the little snacks.

when i was a kid i wanted to be a famous youtuber like dan and phil so that people would gay ship me with my irl best friend and we would be sooo weirded out by it and laugh and make videos joking about it but secretly it would make her realize her repressed gay crush on me and i'd help her through her gay crisis and then we would have a sickeningly sweet sappy romance and read fanfiction about ourselves together... anyways just found out she's married to a guy in the mafia now so i probably don't have a chance

Deeply hope they keep the family vibes going in the revival

the issue with shipping aro/ace characters isn't putting them into relationships, it's the fact that no one adds how their sexuality impacts the relationship at large. And how it'll always be different from your average romantic relationship in some way.

I really like how it feels like each character represents different player styles. Or specs.

Lucy feels like the player that just ~can't~ be mean to the npcs. Tries to talk down violent npcs. Maxed charisma.

Norm is the player who'd read all the computer entries and flavor text. Lore is really important to him. Perception and intelligence are maxed so he can hack and lockpick anything.

Max is a bit of a bro who thinks they want a BoS playthrough because military hoorah, but ends up really really liking a companion that dislikes half of your choices that align with the BoS. Would probably force close the game if he saw [Lucy disliked that.] To try again. Also maxed luck.

Coop clearly wants to be a badass that shoots first and asks questions later, but ends up being a lovable rouge who begrudgingly helps the npcs. Maxed agility.
