This Week I Was A Piece Of Crap Next Week I Will Be More

- 5/06/2018 Im trying to find a standard way for me to colour cause so far I always think I have a plan or a method then it doesn’t work so I have to wing it

Hey btw, if you're doing worldbuilding on something, and you're scared of writing ~unrealistic~ things into it out of fear that it'll sound lazy and ripped-out-of-your-ass, but you also don't want to do all the back-breaking research on coming up with depressingly boring, but practical and ~realistic~ solutions, have a rule:

Just give the thing two layers of explanation. One to explain the specific problem, and another one explaining the explanation. Have an example:

Plot hole 1: If the vampires can't stand daylight, why couldn't they just move around underground?

Solution 1: They can't go underground, the sewer system of the city is full of giant alligators who would eat them.

Well, that's a very quick and simple explanation, which sure opens up additional questions.

Plot hole 2: How and why the fuck are there alligators in the sewers? How do they survive, what do they eat down there when there's no vampires?

Solution 2: The nuns of the Underground Monastery feed and take care of them as a part of their sacred duties.

It takes exactly two layers to create an illusion that every question has an answer - that it's just turtles all the way down. And if you're lucky, you might even find that the second question's answer loops right back into the first one, filling up the plot hole entirely:

Plot hole 3: Who the fuck are the sewer nuns and what's their point and purpose?

Solution 3: The sewer nuns live underground in order to feed the alligators, in order to make sure that the vampires don't try to move around via the sewer system.

When you're just making things up, you don't need to have an answer for everything - just two layers is enough to create the illusion of infinite depth. Answer the question that looms behind the answer of the first question, and a normal reader won't bother to dig around for a 3rd question.

Soooo I've hit one of my apathetic times again.

Good therapy ≠ less depression sometimes

So I've been thinking back to when I went to therapy a while ago, and while it was great for giving me perspective about how it's okay to feel like shit with all the things you're going through (and how the therapists were honestly surprised i wasn't doing worse) in the long run I think it made my depression far worse. It started the trend of me trying to look at all my problems subjectively. I kinda miss being ignorant cause it turns out most of my issues are things I can't even affect if I wanted to and life kinda sucks...

Something you have to explain - a livmay comic

Its finally complete and here… So first off huge thank you to everyone who backed this on ko-fi and funded the project letting me work on this beast as if it were a job.

Huge thank you to Amber @ambercragg !!! without your co-writing and headcanon exchange this wouldn’t have been the same, thank you so so much. Thank you to tiff @tiffbaxter and gabo @silvermender for letting me slide you the script and yell about how many pages i had left.

Extra materials about the comic can be found here, script, 3D model of the set, thumbs, continuity cutouts etc. This might be available for print at some point so keep your eye out for that !!

And with that, please enjoy, this comic is set fairly soon after the spider verse movie events.

- 5/15/2018 So I had only doodled 4 faces when I went to bed at like 2am... Doodling is really fun when your tired and feel like drawing. I ended up just scrolling through @uzlolzu’s art tag for a while a attempting to redraw his stuff but not really caring if it turned out different if it looked ok
