Whoa. People were apparently confused about the "Bao" short in Incredibles II, b/c in part they didn't understand that was a dumpling.

I've been around the concept of hombow and eating them for my entire life except for a little bit in REALLY rural Georgia. This is like realizing the concept of peanut butter is alien to some people (it is BUT).

And even if it didn't SPEAK TO THE MOST RESONANT DEPTHS OF MY FAMILY EXPERIENCE or whatevs, I thought the plot/analogy of the short was pretty obvious?

I think accents are *fascinating*, because they're an insight into a speaker's first language - basically an indication of "how do you teach English in *this* language, and still have it make any sense?"

F'rex if a waitress asks me "you like sharimp?" that means "do you like" makes no sense in Cantonese (ok, "DO you like" sounds weird once I get past always having heard that) and that the combination SH+ other consonant doesn't exist, that there's always a vowel as a spacer.

In around 4 hours I was able to loosely pencil 6 comic pages I had layouts for from 2016 (I moved slowly), then tighten up 3 of them a bit. I figure another pass on the remaining pages and really tightening stuff is at least another 4 hours. Anyway I actually did something new!

me: spends nearly the entire day thinking about everything other than sex, considers self somewhere vaguely ace, draws non-sexual content most of the time and occasionally pinup stuff rather than outright whatever.

also me: in the right place and time online I am as completely headspacey as an entire fuckin' kennel of submissive petplayers, I am like a one-neutrois Folsom Street Fair, I need to cum like the last time was two weeks ago rather than last night.

I'm thinking that tomorrow I'm going to break from job hunting and try to crank on making comics, on painting, or on stuff for a customer first thing instead. Would you have any suggestions for which to go for?

it's like ONE BIG INBRED FUCK FEST
yeah
no I do not want to stop, collaborate or listen!

maybe toasting some English muffins and putting butter all over 'em will help with my crappy self-loathing about my sexuality, my art, and my ethnicity.

#drawings from earlier today, there’s some violence.

Tuesdays is $5.50 movies all day at the local theater so I saw a movie and then came out of the theater and it was like WALKING INTO A SOLID WALL OF SHAWARMA SMELL.

A boy and his dromaeosaur, it’s a beautiful thing.

Is it time for a victory screech? Yes. Yes I think it is.

KRAAARRRK! *headtilts*

Yeah! HEADBUTT CAPITALISTS!

There's this little glockenspiel leitmotif which shows up in the JW Fallen Kingdom soundtrack and combines with some really sad string motifs to suggests that the movie should occur around Christmastime, there should be snow, and a kindly old man passing away should be a lot more heartbreaking than it actually was in the movie (JW was technically a Christmas movie, Fallen Kingdom isn't afaik).

I blame Danny Elfman.

Hot take; the saddest part of all Star Wars movies so far is the fact that Ep III ends with Owen Lars gazing off dramatically into the twin sunset and the future, and by Ep IV Luke is doing it, Owen is too old and tired to care anymore.

oh yeah the regularly scheduled "wow, I learned completely the wrong languages to get a job" as a subset of the larger "wow, I completely wasted my opportunity at college and if I'd picked a GOOD major I wouldn't be doing this right now" as a subset of the larger feelings of being a completely worthless POS. Not very motivated to do job hunting this morning, like you've probably noticed.

oh yeah, John Williams' stirring March of the Brachiosaurs!

Hell of a time to try becoming a better artist.
