Blots. Blots everywhere.

Blargh.

Please tell me this ain’t a fever. I feel awful.

I’m not bothering to reblog that whole post floating around because that idiot doesn’t need any more attention

coelasquid:

I can’t understand why people honestly think It is cool any funny to harass artists in real life for drawing pictures they don’t like on the internet. And the people who get behind it because they don’t like that artist either? You’re just encouraging that type of behaviour and making cons worse for everyone else in the future.

These are all completely hypothetical situations because I’m not going to give any further attention to the real one that happened, but say someone runs up to someone like Buckley at a con and like, throws a drink in his face. Then they brag about it on the internet and people pat them on the back because the internet decided they don’t like Buckley based on a lot of hearsay and a comic they don’t enjoy.

If word gets around that “hey, physically messing with comic artists who draw things you don’t like is socially acceptable behaviour!”, it doesn’t take long for that kind of thing to escalate. What if people start messing with artists like Scott Ramsoomair because they don’t think they update enough? What if they go after Scott Kurtz because he has strong opinions (that he usually articulates more thoughtfully than people give him credit for)? What if Kate Beaton becomes a target because she put her site on hiatus? Andrew Hussie because he asked people to respect his copyright? If a person justifies harassment of artists by saying “they did a thing on the internet that I didn’t like” and you give them any kind of positive attention for it, you are putting a target on anyone who has every made someone on the internet angry ever. And for the record, it’s not very hard to make someone out there in the big wide web angry.

Ask me something and get an illustrated answer.

Reblog if you like your online friends as much as you do your real life ones

It’s very hard to talk to them sometimes because my parents get angry whenever I talk to people online. Their opinions on people who get online to chat with others in the first place infuriate me and they just have really ignorant views.

Elitist Asian parents.

Sorry to hear that. My parents actually likes to hear about you guys. I tell them you guys are artists and they go “oh nice!”

The only social network my parents know of is my facebook(cause they see updates come through my mail, which they tend to look through)

They keep thinking I’m playing around and don’t have a great image with even my reallife buddies. So I don’t even dare tell them about the other sites I use with shit tons of online buddies…

I used to be completely adverse to having online friends until I met you guys. XD

It’s interesting, because while I value my online friends as much as my RL friends, I feel I have a tad more stability and security around my RL ones. (You can actually hug them, for instance, and chill with them, eat lunch with them, work with them - Idunno, that just all feels reassuring). With online friends there seems to be a common trend of discussing FEELS, which is fine, but can lead into being emotionally exhausting.

With that said, the thing with RL friends is that I tend to be socially awkward, and a lot of times we don’t have the same interests. It’s not that that’s an obstacle, but sometimes it’s draining to be in a social situation with a group of people - plus I feel more open and talkative online.

Shopping time?

I would, except I’m broke. :/

Maybe I should just do some work.

Derp.

So I got all dressed and ready to meet up with someone in the city - and then they had to postpone because there was a last-minute change in their schedule.

Now I sorta dunno what to do. :/

How do I make backgrounds? I’ve been at the same one for hours. I’m considering just ditching it altogether. 8I
