Unicorn and IBO have been my favorite's I've gone through all the way. I loved IBO's setting and sheer, honest bleak brutality.

...wonder if there's a Char in the admin, just waiting to take out their revenge on the Zabi's...I know, too much hope, but damnit I can at least hope for some form of crazy melodrama that's at least entertaining. ...crap are the movies still free on YouTube?

I mean; in a real way they all are. That's been the big push across everything imo. A whole hoard of rich, old men in positions of power about 10, 15 years ago realized "Oh crap, I'm gonna die?!" and have been scaring the planet and humanity so they're remembered and drag the world with them.

The main feeling I've had, partially based just on history and people watching and partially on hope, is that I sincerely don't expect this to play out past the year. How that shakes out, and whether it does so without violence, I dunno. But you can't move at this speed and expect to stop safely.

I've got a coworker who's asked me to write him stuff to draw and this kinda thing is why I always politely turn him down. He's an excellent artist; he just has different creative focus and goals than I do and I know it'd just lead to needless conflicts down the road.

Hyper nerd reference; in the comics, several other color lanterns are introduced alongside the Green Lanterns. Blue Lanterns are powered by Hope, and are enormously powerful...if a Green Lantern is nearby. To quote the villain of the arc "Hope is useless without the Will to do something."

I think it is extremely useful from a strategic messaging perspective that protests today have been so peaceful relative to what Trump is screaming simultaneously on Truth Social.
It really demonstrates the lie to anyone who cares to look.

And there it is. Nothing is happening. National Guard just opens up. When the reporters say they're journalists, that doesn't end it.
I want to know – what the f. are the orders they have been given?

They gotta punch those hippies. It's all they know.

Sudecon wipes. These are great for mace.
Water bottles and clothing that can ideally hold a couple of them at a time. Ones that squirt are great for tear gas.
An IFAK with added medical supplies (blister pads, bandaids and antiseptic, finger splints etc if you know how to use them, trauma shears)

The main thing I keep thinking is that no one in the admin seems to be aware that human nature is to unite to survive. Let alone that Americans, dispite what's commonly thought, are willing to work together for their neighbors and loved ones against anything. Be it hurricane or feds.

This has been something I've been really curious about, so thank you. I dunno how many IP stories I'd wanna do that aren't comics or else ...maybe 40k, but I'm not British so that feels an uphill battle more than usual. But things to definitely remember if I ever get an opportunity.

To add; people should refresh on the Battle of Blair Mountain, when the powers that be brought in the army to dismantle an entrenched coal miner strike.
This is actually all I could think about seeing ICE's ramping up. They want to provocation, they need it to justify what's next.

I think it's also why my favorite villains to both read and create are just petty people taken to extremes. Dr. Doom, Luthor, ect.

This is a thing I feel like I've found myself struggling to explain to people over the years; recognizing even the worst person is human. Really staring and wrestling with that notion that the person is within you as much as you could be in them. It's not easy, but I feel like it's gotta be done.

Initially carpal tunnel killed my draw hardcore...now it's just inertia.
There is something to writing out a thought as opposed to typing it every now and then...I tend to lose them though :( so my phone's my go to notepad.

Specialization in this way makes sense, honestly. Kinda ridiculous to expect someone who's passionate about historical romance narratives to try and work with writers with a strong leaning towards hard science fiction.

Me and my 10 year old empty sketchbooks that I'm "waiting to for my draw to come back" for.

I can honestly say I voted against Trump and not for Biden. I still don't view Biden as some sorta Antichrist figure people want him to be, just old, and not what we needed. Like, if he followed up Obama, would've been fine. But he didn't, and we didn't need a steady course, we needed a hard turn.

It's...weird. I have some strong left ideas, a bit of that kinda libertarian "I don't need government knee deep in my life" kinda views, which I thought put me in a center position. Nope, turns out being in the center is some sorta corpo nihilistic brain rot. O.o live and learn.

Impulsive nature has its downsides, but it very much seems to have been helpful enough that the ADHD and other neurodiverse genes survived...well, 15 to 20 thousand years of evolution.

Almost everyday I look at my 5 year old bouncing across the room like an electron and think "I just need a fraction of that, man."

It comes off as sunk cost at this point; almost all the shills are people who invested a metric shit ton of money into it. And we're still getting "No, for real, this tech...it's gonna...uhm...be able to make Zelda!". Which, cool. But we have Zelda. And it didn't drain ecosystems to exist.

I'm very much of the opinion that they're still under this delusional idea that the GOP are actually "partners in governance" as opposed to "rapidly devolving into fascist toadying". The core Dems in charge just don't seem to fathom how far the right is willing to go now; even post 1/6.
