I'm going to figure out how to get the unofficial Homestuck collection on my TV, so the next time I have friends over, instead of worrying about what we should watch or do, I can just force them to read Homestuck while I get their live reactions

how come whenever you find a shiny pokemon it's always "how many encounters did that take?" and never "how are you?"

Don't forget: this jam allows WIP pages to be submitted and YOU SHOULD. Having any project page in a jam is good for the project into the future and is just a fun way to have folks keep up with your thing. WIP PAGES ARE OK!

CONTINUED, The Boy From Venus #15 🍄
Panel 1: Audrey and Val are facing one another on the river bank, seemingly in the late afternoon. They're wearing their last respective outfits from the previous episode. Audrey is saying "Well, you live right near the corner store, right? I was thinking, when I get off work ... I could bring over some snacks and we could watch a movie or something."

Panel 2: Val has a strained expression and starts sweating, sucking in her lips, like she is trying really hard to decide what to say.

Panel 3: Audrey holds his hands up and says "Okay, yep, no. That's definitely the NO face. Say no more!"

Panel 4: Val looks to the side with a strained, nervous expression, replying "No, no, Audrey, it's just, I don't think my apartment is ... Ready for visitors."Panel 5: Audrey tilts his head and asks "Oh? What's up with it?" as Val turns her head away from his, sweating.

Panel 6: Val says "UH," rapidly swinging her head back to face Audrey but with his eyes lagging to the side, giving her time to think.

Panel 7: Val recalls her room, which is an absolute mess, empty pizza boxes, trash bags, socks, unopened mail, miscellaneous chargers, and stains littering the floor. The mattress has no cover, the trash bin is overflowing, and there's a single sound insulating foam panel on the wall behind the computer monitor. A sound of a fly buzzing emanates through the room.

Panel 8: "Black mold," replies Val, finally looking directly at Audrey.Panel 9: Audrey suddenly leans close to Val and balls his hands with a worried expression, yelling "BLACK MOLD?? Val, you CAN'T BE LIVING THERE!!" Val leans back a bit.

Panel 10: Val gives a thumbs up and a close-eyed nervous smile, saying "No no it's okay. I like ... wear a mask."

Panel 11: Audrey has a comedically sad expression, like a toddler who got told that magic isn't real. Water eyes, tensed chin, as if about to cry.

Panel 12: Val, by contrast, just has her brow furrowed in slight annoyance, asking "What."Panel 13: Audrey, still watery-eyed, begins speaking in a baby talk voice, saying "My besht fwiend's wivving wiz bwack mowod."

Panel 14: Fisheye lens closeup of Val looking very unamused, brow still furrowed, the setting sun casting a hard shadow on half of the face. She says "Audrey. Audrey you know I hate the V-tuber baby voice."

Panel 15: Audrey raises his head and begins saying into sky, "OOWOWW DA BWACK MOWD IS" and Val interrupts him, hands together in a pleading gesture and eyes shut tight, saying "OKAY OKAY I'll call a mold specialist TODAY. And we can hang out tomorrow. No more ear terrorism."

Panel 16: With her hands still together, Val looks down towards the ground, her pupils hazy, as a bead of sweat rolls down her face. "God I am so f*cked," she thinks.

Excited to hear about the bitsy game jam via @dotzip.online but then realizing binksy, the game engine I used for The Worst Game Jam in January, is based on bipsi, not bitsy, so I can't use it for the jam. Ah well. Still going to try it out since it's a 100 day jam anyway! Plenty of time to learn.

As one who has been on the receiving end of this: "a guy irrationally hates you" is not a controversy, it's not political, it's not tricky. It's some chucklefuck choosing to launch an attack, and it's the job of community leaders to notice the instigators are wrong and laugh them out of the room.

If you had told me a decade ago I willingly, voluntarily, was the one who suggested going to see a single horror movie in theaters, I would have been skeptical. If you said I did it more than once within a few months, I would think you were absolutely insane.

Very rarely do I go out to watch movies in the theater. I could count the # of times I've done it in the past five years on one hand. This year I have watched 3 in theaters, all horror (which I could also count the # I watched in the past 5 years on one hand!) and now I hear the RE movie is good...

knowing for a fact that youtube is counting autoplay views gives the whole concept of a view a tragic paler and it has made videos less pride conferring as a result

A few thoughts from the Competition Director.
I apologize to anyone who follows here to escape politics, but I felt the need to give my thoughts on a few issues using all the platforms available to me. I'm Jewish, and I'm disgusted with the horrific war crimes that have been committed by Israel, including the killing of over 20,000 children in Gaza. I'm American, and I'm outraged that our tax dollars have paid for many of the weapons used in these war crimes. Stop sending weapons to war criminals. Free Palestinians from the blockades, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, land theft, and genocide carried out by Israel. Free Palestine.  -Charlie Weisman, Competition Director of NYC Midnight

One of my fillings chipped off and I had to go to the dentist (because why not, while I'm recovering from surgery!) but it was a filling they had done and was under warranty so I only had to pay like $9 thankfully Just cracking up at my dental work being under warranty lmao

Being in a relationship means opening yourself up to someone you can never fully know - a vulnerability that can be as wonderful as it can be dangerous. There's no saying the "right" thing to safely win someone's heart in Scarlet Hollow, because everyone has their own motivations outside of you.

Tips before top surgery : Practice not putting weight on your arms when you get in and out of bed. Or when shifting in bed, and bonus points if you practice from a sitting up position which is recommended post-surgery. Really pay attention to how often you put weight on your arms because holy shit

Drawing a pair of perfectly normal feet and musing on an essay I'm probably not going to write but would be titled "We're All Into Feet Now" about how the memeification of phrases like "no feet on Twitch" and "no free feet pics" has forced us all to act as if feet are inherently sexual.

I kinda wish I had the option to text her updates more often. With this moment in particular, I just don't like ditching her without saying anything. It's hard for me to find the balance of "being respectful of my cousin" and "doing literally anything else in the plot" lol
