TBOSAS on Crack short take (42)

Pres.Ravinstill: My dearest Mentors, in spite of the recent tragic events-

Felix: You mean the Arena Explosion Incident that almost got us killed if not for Palmyra Monty being absent that day?

Pres.Ravinstill: Yes. That one.

Festus: But why are we calling it tragic? Nobody died.

Pres.Ravinstill: Correct! Nobody died except for our government’s budget for reconstruction that is. Now I have to borrow another large sum of money from Monster Cardew- I mean, from Mama Cardew again.😞

Livia: That sounds like good news to me.😌💅

Coryo: Of course it does.🙄

Pres.Ravinstill: However, that is not the reason for why I’m here today-

Androcles: Mr. President, Mr. President, are you here for your missing Bichon Frisé puppy-

Everyone: Andie!

Androcles: Nevermind. I’ll shut up now.

Pres.Ravinstill: As I was saying, I’m here to make an announcement. An important one that will either make or break the future of our country. So Felix, come up here and give your Gran Gran a hug-

Felix: Am I in trouble? If so, just know it wasn’t me. It was Festus-

Festus: Hey! I ain’t no criminal-

Felix: Or Hilarius-

Hilarius: Fair enough.

Felix: And Sejanus.

Sejanus: Coryo! Coryo, my love, they’re bullying me again!😭

Coryo: Babe, please stop crying in front of the President. It’s embarrassing.

Sejanus: Ok. I’ll stop crying if you first give me a kiss.😘

Coryo: On the cheek?

Sejanus: No.

Coryo: On the forehead?

Sejanus: Lower.

Coryo: On the nose?!

Sejanus: Lower.

Coryo: On your chin?!

Sejanus: You know where, Babe.😏

Coryo: I-

Sejanus: Pretty please?🥺

Coryo: Um-

Lysistrata: Kiss him! Kiss him, Coryo! Coryo, please! For the SnowPlinth Fan Club!

Diana: You do know that the President is still here, right?

Felix: Don’t worry about it. My granduncle is part of the SnowPlinth Fan Club. Just look at him.

Pres.Ravinstill: Kiss him! Kiss him, Snow!! Crassus x Strabo forever!

Apollo: Crassus x Strabo?! That’s the wrong SnowPlinth Fan Club!

Felix: Tomato, Potato.

Florus: I beg to differ. That’s-

Coryo: *faints from embarrassment*

Pup: Well, I’ll be off to call the medics again.

Sejanus: *princess carries Coryo* Oh, don’t mind me. Coryo and I will be going home together.🥰

Pres.Ravinstill: Fine. I’ll go straight to the point. Felix, my beloved grandnephew, I am officially promoting you to be my new son and heir.😊

Felix: Wait, what?! Why me?! What happened to my other uncles, aunts, and older cousins?!

Pres.Ravinstill: Fortunately, they were all disowned yesterday.

Felix: Disowned?!

Pres.Ravinstill: Fortunately.

Felix: What about my parents?!

Pres. Ravinstill: Them too. So starting today, you are now my one and only son.🥹

Io: Oh, that’s so sweet!

Juno: ✨Slay✨, Class Pres!

Clemensia: Congratulations, Class Pres!

Iphigenia: Nice one, Class Pres!

Domitia: Let’s party!

Dennis: Food’s on Livia!

Livia: Suck a di-

Felix: Granduncle, are you crazy?! Why would you disown everyone but me?!

Pres.Ravinstill: It’s father now. And Panem, it was quite a funny story-

Felix: Please just tell me the short version.😞

Pres.Ravinstill: Fine. Your parents, uncles, aunts, and cousins had a big fight yesterday-

Felix: That’s just normal-

Pres.Ravinstill: Which escalated so fast that one of them intentionally destroyed one of my rare #SnowPlinth merch and my #Crasca4Ever hate shrine!

Vipsania: The audacity!

Pres.Ravinstill: Sis, you don’t even know the worst thing they did!

Vipsania: What did they do?

Pres.Ravinstill: Those damn ungrateful kids of mine vandalized one of my exclusive Bichon Frisé puppy posters out of spite!😡🔪

Everyone:. . .

Pres.Ravinstill: So I disowned all of them. Lol.

Felix: What the heck?!

Lysistrata: Not the SnowPlinth merch!😭

Pres.Ravinstill: I know! They were all so cruel to commit a crime such as that!

Sejanus: Mr. President, Mr. President, we must swiftly punish-

Pres.Ravinstill: Don’t worry, Mr.

Plinth. I already gave them a befitting punishment for their actions.

Felix: Which is?!

Pres.Ravinstill: Peacekeeper duties for 10 years without pay.😊

Felix: *faints from the shock*

Gaius: Fainting must be trending today.

Urban: You don’t say.😒

supernatural s13x22 exodus (w. eugenie ross-leming, brad buckner)

well, mom gets a hug. that's something i guess. no time for extended you're-actually-alive-reunions with lucifer smarming around in the background.

this trying to be i dunno, spookyish discordant atmospheric music is not hitting for me. it just feels wildly out of sync with the tone of the scene. i wonder who made iiiit. oh look, it's jay gruska. i seriously don't look it up until i have a ~vibe~ and i'm vaguely impressed with my consistent reactions to the two composers. i'm pretty much never rockin with jay. sorry, my dude.

LUCIFER Don’t say he’s nothing like me. I’m the only one who understands him. This power he has? I’m powerful, dangerous, ruthless. In the...best sense, though. DEAN No. Kill him. LUCIFER (chuckles) He can’t. He’s not strong enough. GABRIEL Dean… DEAN (turns on Gabriel) You’ve got the blade. JACK (quietly) Stop it. DEAN He’s the devil. Kill him. JACK (shouting) Stop it!

in the land of not-a-show, this seems very reasonable. we have the means and opportunity to FINALLY fucking kill this guy, who has done unspeakably awful things to more than one person present. who they've been trying to take out for a long ass time. but, being that it's this show, yeah. of course it's not that simple. i think they had a general plan to kill him after they used him for the nexus excursion, yes? but them believing he'd still be captured and subdued until then was a bit of a stretch :p also, jack wasn't around for that convo and i suppose he might have some thoughts and feelings around cutting down bio dad right away

CAS In case your innate evil overwhelms this new found team spirit, you won’t mind wearing these then, will you. You’re not at full power. They should hold you.

LOL good one. is he not at full power because he was drained, juiced up, then used some of that juice to resurrect sam? (was also thinking about how like, cas stole someone's grace at one point. a bad someone, right? is it that different? why didn't gabriel just go that route? not actually socially acceptable? whatever. we needed to include lucifer)

jfc nic shut up

thank you, everyone, for that long ass hug. i'm not crying, no, i'm fine

i know the wiki has hugs and lengths (which amuses me to no end), i wouldn't be surprised if that was one of the longer ones. ahbl 29 seconds i think is an outlier being that sam is dead through most of it 😞 what a statement. excluding ahbl pt 1, top 3! lol

other thing he did, which he does regularly? when he's affectionate, that turn to the side like he's checking who's around or avoiding eye contact while he got a little mushy.

he does it before hugging a lot too, like the avoiding eye contact and pulling someone in. definitely with charlie, not sure actually who all he does it with, if everyone at one point or another? anyway. he doesn't instigate a ton of hugs. i'm not under the influence, i swear, i'm just extra... *waves hands*

jack having a little montage o'guilt with xfiles sounds rapid fire (they use it periodically now but i don't recall so many of them in one scene like this. i had to search for "shoe" on the wiki because my blog search is perpetually fucked and all i could remember of the scene was sam finding a shoe lol)

so like, the solution is all the au people come back with her through the nexus, right? so this is a moot conversation? but. dean's reaction to her "i know what you went through to come find me" was so right. like, understatement of the century and in fact i DON'T think you know what they did. and (show logic aside) sam died and only isn't still dead due to a fluke/luck.

interesting to see the production draft script has her saying sorry and that she's grateful, which didn't make it to screen

granted, i think they were doing the getting back to the nexus project for jack too, and i imagine they would have made the same efforts and paid the same prices. but anyway. feels like dean is always waiting for the other shoe to drop with mary, reinforced with her needing space business before, so understandably he's immediately reacting defensively and maybe a little childishly (do they need-need mary? probably not. but it's also reasonable and understandable to want your almost entirely absent mother [which she had no control over] once you got her back)

another thing i like about pellegrino's lucifer, the hair! it just is almost always unkempt in not a cool way, more the disaster been sleeping on it weird way. which my hair also is often in some degree of.

DEAN We have been mopping up the world for years. Years. We have been knocked down. We have been possessed. We’ve lost friends. We’ve lost family. We’ve lost each other. And we never walk away, ever. And sometimes, we should’ve, because not every fight everywhere can be won. It just can’t. Right? (turning to Sam) Tell her.

never (permanently) walk away. ignoring the nonsensical amelia aberration? 🤪 i don't really understand dean's logic. we never walk away, but sometimes we should have, so mary should walk away? doesn't seem like the best sell

SAM I think Mom made up her mind. DEAN See? Wait. What? SAM Mom doesn’t want to leave these people. So let’s take ‘em with us. MARY They’ll never leave their home. They’ll never leave their cause. SAM I’m not saying abandon the fight. I’m saying we get them somewhere safe, then we all figure out a way to take down Michael. Then once we do, they can come back and save their world. MARY You’d do that for them? DEAN Well, we got...what, nine busting out? What’s a few more. How many are we talking? MARY Twenty-five.

(don't know what that 9 number is referring to either, oh right, charlie and ketch? lol) sammy's plan seems very. pie in the sky and not something these other world people would necessary go for but mary's down so sure why not

LUCIFER Well, I mean, yes, I have done things that I am not entirely proud of. I have led the occasional soul to ruin. This is true. But, Jack, it’s because humans are so messed up. They’re -- they’re so willing to be led. JACK My mother was human. LUCIFER Awesome lady. Incorruptible. Not like that. You know, great kisser. And, uh, lost my virginity to her.

pointing to my very disgruntled thoughts about this in 12x08. we're going to regularly make allusions to lucifer raping sam via hallucifer and i think also when sam was stuck with him in 11x09 before cas sprung luci but then lucifer in the president vessel supposedly had never had sex. ok. i prefer to believe that rape isn't part of the torture package, but they make it real hard sometimes. but the show is gonna tell us that was the first time lucifer had sex. being generous and dumb, maybe he believes in the rehymenation like dean. or some particulars of being in a human vessel. as opposed to whatever it is exactly getting tortured in hell. soul in vessel-ish shape? because it wasn't dean's shiny glowing light of a soul on the rack, it was his person. i've been thinking about this off and on since we knew generally what a soul was supposed to look like

jack interviewing lucifer, the quote unquote father of lies, to whatever, determine if he wants to have anything to do with him? well. how could this go wrong?

DEAN I told you no talking! And I told you no listening. JACK Dean, he’s in chains. DEAN His mouth isn’t. Shoulda gagged him. JACK No, I need to know about my powers, my family. CAS Jack, we are your family. We’ve been protecting you. We’ve been honoring your mother’s wishes. We’re your family. SAM Jack, you have no idea who Lucifer really is. JACK And I never will unless I talk to him.

like yes obviously, going this route is going to make anyone shut down and not listen to what you have to say (acting like john winchester basically), especially someone who is framed as being a kid. HOWEVER! couldn't we just say that lucifer spent a year which is equivalent to whatever in dog hell years torturing sam. our sam, that's standing right there. your sam, who you're including as a father figure.

MARY (amused) Jack isn’t going to the dark side. He’ll see Lucifer’s true nature. And he’ll see through his own eyes and not yours.

like she's trying to impart some parenting wisdom - which this is surely applicable to regular real life parenting! but i don't think it's applicable to the situation at hand. being that the grown ass adults with a lot of life experience and big bad demons etc etc have been fooled by lucifer time and time again. at least he should be aware of the actual harm lucifer has done to everyone present that they've personally experienced. and maybe he does know? i'm thinking WAY TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS. for this half baked plot shit.

lucifer cutting off gabriel from telling him about the (oops not actual) murdering of himself would indicate to me he doesn't know so, yeah. whatever man. i gotta fucking finish this episode! i started yesterday but just yammered on too much and then it was midnight.

BOBBY Now about that. Mary said you wanna take a bunch of our people back to this Other Earth? DEAN Yeah. Yeah, that’s the idea. BOBBY Well, no offense, but that may be the dumbest friggin’ idea in a landfill of dumb ideas.

say it, bobby

sam's gonna give a rousing speech to get the people to come around though, right. and now ketch and charlie get to be tortured. so both ketch and rowena are all about the redemption arc life

i'm real tired of this episode lol.

GABRIEL Dad saw that your evil was like the first few cells of cancer...that it would spread like the disease unless He cut it out. That is why He locked you up, to stop the cancer. But it was too late then. And guess what? It’s too late for you now.

excuse me what. he's crying? what even

great, au!cas misha doing another accent. as a... nazi? seriously checked out at this point

sure. like that whole wound tending thing the first time they were there. weird vibes man, are we supposed to ship it

AW-CASTIEL Don’t think that you are better than me. Well, we are the same. CAS Yes. We are.

cathartic

this like. militaryish music as they ride off in the bus is.... oof. not great. ditto for the music with this goofy fucking jumping through the nexus proceedings

and now gabriel's gonna get into a knife fight with this basically impossible to win against michael, good idea. and sam and dean are just gonna hang back and watch him die

well, at least sam got to trap lucifer there with michael? 🤷 surely that won't go bad!

gives me the heebiejeebies all those people in there

CAS What about Lucifer? DEAN Sam handled it.

heaven forbid we actually kill him. wonder how they're gonna have jack react to this

and hey last minute mushy music during the toast by bobby to sam and dean. welcome to the family. mhm

and of course lucifer immediately plotting with michael

Holaaaaa!!! I'm here!!! TUMBLR don't you fucking dare 🤨

Ok... here we go!!

I Don't Fucking Have Daddy Issues!

THE BEGINNING

Dear Shinyun,

I hope you are well.

Remember when I didn't like Shinyun?? I was wrong I'm a better hoe now!!

The only reason I’m writing to you – and to Edom by extension – is that I truly believe I earned this scholarship.

Yes, you have... I'm so proud of Magnus!!

“Nah. I know you liked it,” Alec grins into his neck.

Magnus smiles widely. “Challenge accepted, Alec Lightwood.”

Alec grins back. “Get to work, Magnus Bane.”

Sexy times are the best times!!!

“Do you know someone called Camille Belcourt?”

Unfortunately!! 🤢

“Um,” Alec says. “You said her name in your sleep.”

I detect lies!!! Alexander what the fuck???

“Valentine found out about Jace and Clary,” Alec sighs. “See? Nothing good comes out of putting your personal shit on the internet.”

Fuck Valentine!!!!

“No,” Alec replies. “It’s Clary’s. She shouldn’t have let this relationship happen. Not when she knows what her father did to Jace-”

No it isn't, I love this parallels so much because we always see things a certain way UNTIL it happens to us, then everything changes, I understand my twin because I am guilty of this myself 😞

“So, what? I can’t talk when I’m drunk?”

You can but you shouldn't, you'll fuck up!!

He doesn’t know if he is defending Clary – or himself.

“You can’t heal in a toxic environment!” Alec says in annoyance.

Imagine this Alec and future Alec having a conversation 😶

“Magnus! We moved on from that! Fucking Christ!”

When?? I haven't, Magnus hasn't!! You know what?? No more drinking for you!!

Magnus is tired of having to live with stuff for the rest of his life.

I wish he could say all those things, I wish his depression didn’t fuck with his communication skills 😭😭

“Yeah. Well. At least he didn’t rape my mom.”

Noooooooooooooo!!!! This is the cursed snippet

All he knows is that apologies feel good.

And Alec is very good at apologies.

I am not at this moment OK 😭

THE MIDDLE

I can already tell this part is going to hurt a lot!!!

“I would if I could,” Rafael sighs. “Anjali doesn’t let me.”

I too would do anything and everything Anjali told me because she is a Godess!!!

This is the first time they’ve canceled their weekly family meetings.

😭😭😭

He wonders who does Max’s hair now.

Is that why Max cut his hair?? 😭😭

Magnus moves forward. “I’d like to see it anyway.

Maybe you should listen to Rafe, he knows best!!

I will not be accepting any criticism about my family!!!! They are ALL going through a lot!! Mistakes will be made!!

“No. No, he doesn’t respond to my messages.”

Mavid pain hits differently, deeper 😭😭

Even though they called the boys Lightwood-Bane, they were only Lightwoods on paper.

What was that??? What about Alec adopting on his own??? 🤨

“Magnus,” Alec says, wiping his face with a wet towel. “What are you doing here?”

Horny mode ACTIVATED 🥵

I have a picture for this 😈 not me visualizing moodboards as I read 🤫

He wants Alec in every way possible to want another human being.

How is this both sexy and sad??

The thought of getting back together, even as a joke, hurts too much.

What is this?? Why am I crying??? I've been through worse, I'm stronger than this!!!

Magnus wants to hold him and kiss his head and tell him it’s okay.

And I want to wrap the four of you in a warm blanket and keep you safe and happy!!

“Which precinct?” Alec asks.

“99th.”

Sorry I can't help myself

“Get him out, Alec,” Magnus hisses. “Get my son out of there right now.”

I love Max, I do but he needs a lesson, being hurt is not a get out jail free card!! I'm with my twin on this one!!

Alec sighs again. “I told you not to look.”

Yeah, but he doesn't listen 😔 and now we're all hurt!!

There is no one stronger in this world than a person who has to fight their own mind. Every single day.

Magnus you are brave!! This whole discussion is awful Max’s words are so hurtful and full of rage 😭

“That’s what you wanted, isn’t it?” Magnus asks. “Now you have it.”

Please let this be the wake up call Max needs, I can't take it anymore!!!

The words ‘Go Kill Yourself’ written across his eyes.

😱 Maxwell!!!!

Max comes back to him 27 days later.

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

THE END

Am I ready for more pain or should I stop??

“No. This is Albany,” he hears the voice reply. “You’re in Albany. You’re home. Dad. Open your eyes.”

This made laugh, I'll be fine!!

“Leslie thinks you have alcohol poisoning.”

No shit 😒

“Get my fucking phone, Max!”

Get it Max, we need to do some damage control... (god I hate those words now, thanks for the new trigger Dani 🥲) RUN MAXWELL RUN!!!

“Not that,” Alec shakes his head. But also, a little bit of that. “The baby.”

THERE'S NO BABY!!! THERE IS HOWEVER A VOICE MESSAGE THAT NEEDS TO BE ELIMINATED!!! Focus people!!!

“Did you seriously get drunk because you thought bapak and Shinyun were gonna have a baby?”

We are dramatic bitches what did you expect!!! Is how we roll!!!

Maybe there is some magic technology that will help them do that. Please!

Nope!! You're going to do the one thing I don't want you to do, call Rafe 😔 I feel dirty, sorry Rafe, you deserve better

Then he hears Rafael sigh. “I’m tired of helping you out, dad.”

This was about that secret I don't wanna know, right??

Max throws the blanket over him and kisses his head. “I love you. You absolute fucking disaster.”

Cachicamo diciéndole a morrocoy conchudo 😒

Alec and Max go on an adventure!!! I love this disaster duo!!!

Oh no, I hate Twitter 🤮

“I hate that they look good though,” Max says, glaring at the cover. “Hot people are fucking annoying sometimes.”

Totally!! How dare they be so hot?! Fuckers!!

Shinyun opens the door.

Noooooooooooooo!!! Is this that other cursed snippet???

Wearing Alec’s white Princeton hoodie.

🥰😍🥰😍 I am living!!!

His guardian angel.

Our guardian angel!! He is best!!!

“No silly,” Max giggles. “The office. The one in Manhattan. It looked very cool in your photoshoot.”

Can you imagine if Max falls in love with Edom? 🤣🤣 because if anyone can make that happen is Shinyun!!

“Your sympathy is appreciated,” Shinyun nods. “Let’s go, Max.”

Alec wonders if it’s too late to back out and try to the hacking option.

Maybe you shouldn't have opened with I fucked up... but we can still salvage this!!

“Use my phone!” Alec holds out his device.

NO! 😳

Magnus frowns. “I’ll get my own.”

NO! 😨

Magnus stares. “You sent me a drunk voicemail, didn’t you?”

Yeah... about that, don't listen to it 🙏🏼

"Just don't," Alec shakes his head. "Please."

Magnus can you please this one time listen to your family? Pretty please 🙏🏼

“Then I don’t want to listen to it,” Magnus says. “Delete it, please.”

🥲 thank you Dani for this mercy 🙌🏼

“I’m sorry this made things weird,” Alec points out, clearing his throat. “I know we are both in a good place. Post-divorce and all.”

Are you? Are you really? Is not a bad place, is better than where you were but let's not get carried away 😒

Look at them talking 😍 is the small things!!

“Yeah,” Magnus nods. “You really went from deleting messages in my inbox to telling me about your creepy voicemails.”

What???

Magnus seems to have fallen asleep on him.

I am happy 🥰

Saying they’ve arrested his son.

Oh no 😔 Rafe!!!

Is not Max... Alec es mi pequeño precioso 🥺

Jace had even told Alec about the incident with Kyle. The truth of it.

Thank you Jace!!!

“Looks like I am doing just fine,” Rafael gestures at their surroundings.

Rafael you are so far from fine... I can’t even!!! Anjali is going to be so pissed

“You can’t make it better now,” Rafael smiles. “You should have fucking left me in Buenos Aires.”

Thank you Dani, I hope you're having a nice time on your trip, post some pictures if you can, your country is beautiful 🤩

💚💚💚💚

Just know that I loved the fuck out of this 😎

random thoughts.

my birthday is in 11 days and i’m having the hardest time getting/staying excited about it 😓 it’s not that i’m like not looking forward to it like at all cause i mean i kinda am. a little bit.

but normally i get so excited about my birthday and i really look forward to it. it normally makes me so happy cause that’s the one day i let myself be really selfish and the one day when i feel special and important.

i mean this does occasionally happen the closer it gets to my birthday. i start to lose that excitement and i feel like it’s not worth celebrating. but for some reason it’s different this year. it’s like all month (so far), i have just been kinda “eh” or “meh” about it. like when i think about it, it’s just another day and honestly nothing to look forward to. or worth celebrating 😞

and i’ve been trying so hard to make myself be excited about it, like the whole fake it ‘til you make it kind of mind set, you know? but, it’s not working. like at all. and that really hurts. i hate that i’ve been feeling this way cause i know i deserve to look forward to it. i know it’s worth celebrating and i deserve to celebrate cause it is my special day.

i should be very excited about it and looking forward to it. why can’t i just be excited? 😣

i don’t understand why i feel like it and i’m not worth celebrating.

(and it has nothing to do with the fact that i’m getting older, btw. i genuinely don’t care about that. i’m actually really looking forward to be closer to 30. cause my twenties have not exactly been the time of my life like i was told it was going to be. lol. anyway 😅)

how can i genuinely love myself and the person i’ve become over the past few years and still feel like i’m not worth celebrating, my birthday isn’t worth celebrating, that my birthday isn’t special or important and i don’t deserve to feel special and important. i mean, that doesn’t exactly sound like someone who truly loves themself, now does it?

ugh 😓😞

why am i like this?

and then i start to think about this little girl. is she not worth celebrating? does she deserve to ever feel like she’s not special or important? would she want to see grown up her feel like they’re not worth celebrating? how would she feel knowing that adult her feels like their birthday is just another day and is not important? how sad would that make them? how sad does that make me to think about her being sad? and how much does that break my heart to think of her crying about this like i’ve been?

i wouldn’t ever want little mae to ever feel this way and i would do anything and everything to make them feel loved and special and make her birthday so special! and o would do everything in my being to make them feel important and celebrate her as much as i can cause she’s absolutely amazing, funny, sweet, so unique, always so unapologetically her self and absolutely deserves to celebrate their birthday and be celebrated. so if i wouldn’t ever want her to feel that way, why can’t i make myself feel better and do those things for myself like i would for little me? you know?

( text ) couch > red carpet. You’re choosing the better viewing party ! is this where I admit I have my cate Blanchett google alerts on ? cause lady I’m so ready to yell, sweat, cry and repeat, over everything you’re doing. like I’m forever in awe of the incredible work you put out into the world !!!! excuse me ?! as in you’re working with Rooney again. Fit me in there please

( text ) aha ding ding ding 🛎 it says my weird, intoxicated mind lands my great friend back into this wonderful woman’s life again and she’s gonna totally never forget about it. So gonna go ahead and assume she appreciated the kind words 😅 well, not to say you’re welcome again but you’re welcome…cause sounds like you’re enjoying each other’s company

[text] That's what we are supposed to do, the only reason I am still in the industry is that I am always waiting for a project with you so here I am waiting until the next time I can annoy you during 12 or 18 hours per day. Stop! don't say that! don't even attempt to get close to these things! do not read anything, I mean it, don't do it! i know you! 😞

[text] so you know everything about me? oh, Lord. I learned I never should google myself again but now I want to google you and see what is going on there with you and your lovers 🤭 Rooney seems to be obsessed with me or something. she is following me everywhere 🤨🙄 we are playing something completely different this time but equally good. I will give you more details soon. I promise but this time I am not making out with her either.

[text] That's absolutely right and it's been really, really nice. She is still that woman...maybe even a better one. You know she lives in NYC so maybe we can have a double date soon? God! I don't know if call her a date! should I? I don't know, okay, I am calling it like that and I promise not to nap against Jessica's chest at dinner.

7/18/21: r/SketchDaily theme, "The Best Comic Book Character." I don't read comic books... 😕

Here's something, though. In junior high school journalism class I participated by drawing two-panel comic strips, featuring my characters, for the school newsletter. Nobody seemed to ever "get" my jokes or find them funny, so my writing was an abject failure back then just as it is now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But anyway, here I've decided to re-create the one comic I remember most clearly, featuring my Jack Russell puppy character, Pipsqueak. (Previously I've toyed with the idea of redesigning him to look more like a Jack Russell, but haven't yet.) And now you can probably see why the journalism teacher was the only person who seemed to like my comics. (Though maybe she was just being nice. Probably.)

Fun fact, while drawing this I happened to look up at the Main Street Mackinac Island cam I like to watch and noticed that Murdick's Fudge is right there in the shot, haha.

Tumblr edit: This got one upvote (wasn't expecting much, it's not a good drawing)...and just now, a downvote. It's difficult to get downvoted in SketchDaily, so something in my post was exceptionally offensive to someone. Was it the fact that I don't read comic books? I made no judgement on those who do, but my time spent on a writing forum in the past showed me that any. Little. Difference in tastes, such as merely saying you don't use books on tape or read vampire fiction, can royally piss people off. DAMN did I get reamed for both of those.

Was it me pointing out the fact that my writing has never been successful? I know some people mistakenly assume my downplaying of my so-called "skills" is merely false modesty, but this is objectively true--I've been posting my work online for 21 years, and currently have zero readers. At my best times--probably around 2005 at the most recent--I had about 2-3 readers and none of them stuck around for more than a year or so. And I'm lucky to get one compliment on my work every few years, from somebody I never hear from again--usually on a story I gave up on years ago. I have never once been able to attract or maintain an audience.

I have no reason for false modesty when my work genuinely sucks, and ironically, this downvote helps confirm it. I'm left confused and wondering if that was this user's point. I really don't need more confirmation of my complete lack of useful talents, but life keeps handing it over anyway. I had a rough night last night (lots of rough nights lately, including some unexplained physical pain), crying for a while about my uselessness and all the mistakes I've made and how well-meaning people always urge you to reach out when you're feeling such a way, but I know that no matter how many times I reach out through my online accounts, nobody will respond or care; so this confirmation of my worthlessness, right on cue like it's a sign, hits doubly hard. I don't know why I pour out this pain every time, though, for this very reason. No one cares. No one is reading this far if at all.

Maybe even I'm bigheaded for assuming there was a reason for the downvote besides my drawing just really sucking THAT much.

To the very few people who look at this blog (it currently has 11 followers, most of whom seem inactive), I'm not being falsely modest, I do feel bad and apologize for the days when my art especially sucks, like today, and I'm sorry it isn't very good even on what I consider my rare "good days." I really, really wish I had something worthwhile to offer the world but it seems to be beyond my abilities. 😞
