but what if instead of doing job hunting, I grabbed stuff by Toppi and Cam Kennedy and Mike McMahon, and went to a coffee shop and stared at it blankly hoping some of the inking would seep into my tiny brain?

related; don't I have own NORMAL superhero books somewhere?

aaaand I called my Dad, and that went about as well as you can really hope for, which means that I'm fucking pissed off and want to punch something.

unfortunately, as hard as I try to be sympathetic to my mother, especially right when she's having this much difficulty and she's stressed, but frankly I think that could be a little hard even without my baggage about her, and WITH my baggage, she drives me fucking up a goddamn wall.

re: vent 

@Oneironott Trying to think of the right thing to say here, and maybe there isn't one, or maybe there doesn't have to be one aside from that yeah, I read all this and it actually makes sense.

I wound up doing some soul searching unintentionally 

Was thinking about how it looks like I have nothing to live for, and then I thought hey wait, isn't just being alive an okay reason to live? I have to be/make/discover/accomplish something special sounds really REALLY like gifted kid baggage.

I'm used to thinking that The Big Accomplishment is going to be ahead because otherwise I'm a total failure, someone who got wrecked as a kid and never really prospered (see the above this sounds like a gifted kid holdover), but. Who can say that the big accomplishment in my life, the thing I was supposed to be on this earth for, WASN'T that time I stayed with someone going into diabetic shock until the EMTs showed up, or that time I worked for a no-kill shelter, or that time I inspired a Starbucks barrista to start drawing again, or the time I let a homeless therian camp on my floor for a week then got them to Portland, or WASN'T just helping my ex get to Planned Parenthood to get birth control pills and being okay with her not having her uterus pulled? Or a batch of other things I just don't remember or feel good about right now?

@chimerror I think yes in a way, since I feel like everything gets made into a subscription service or put on media which has problems or winds of being unsupported. And a public library IS basically a free subscription service but the fucking fash are trying to make those go away.

@xinjinmeng who were you hanging around who'd manage to reference all of *these*?

watching a documentary on Mike Mignola, and he, Steve Purcell and Arthur Adams are talking about how they used to live in the same apartment building in Oakland and they used to walk around Mountain View Cemetery because it was close and pretty. I've BEEN THERE! I've been to the exact cemetery that probably inspired a batch of imagery in Hellboy and I didn't clue in AT ALL!

Those two are the most fucking self absorbed people, they make me look like a fucking saint. This would be a possibly the worst time to break contact, but I'm SERIOUSLY considering it.

fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you

in a dream I wanted to trim my pubes but wound up screwing up and shaving them practically down to the skin, so I decided to go with it and shaved my belly and chest and legs, though the weird part is I was only completely overjoyed when my legs were all bare and smooth.

what they really ought to make is a 1:144 scale wargame, that way not only can you build fairly big armies in a small space but also there's tons of premade scenery and an excuse to put trains in your game

"Iggy" is short for "Iggwilv" so Iggy Pop gets his distinctive name from exploring the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth back in 1982

reused D&D joke; did you hear about the two brothers from Kara-Tur whose necromancy could raise all types of baneful undead save one

because two Wongs can’t make a wight?

@Tuftears *frantically redraws the wizard's expression to be a lot happier and puts a collar with a little tag on the dragon*

how does it look from there, Charles? Still fighting the good fight? From HERE, it looks like they're not playing by your rules.

have you ever considered how the X-Men are technically "Charlie's Angels"?

Another from last night, tightened up during slower moments of the D&D game.

well... whatever's going on is probably not covid, I would be willing to bet a basic cold.
