the things i have learned about KH recently are deeply, deeply funny
People don't like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn't be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they're basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.
Like it's just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like "we're using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can" and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.
Actually, I realized my real point here: we all need to make our art weirder. Please make weird art. I want more stuff like Prequel Adventure and 17776 and MyHouse.wad and I want it now. Capitalism thrives on conformity. We must be weird at all costs.

sees lineless art: ah yes i want my art to

Friendly reminder that the reason you feel so much better is because of your meds, don’t stop taking them unless you talk to your doctor first, you really do need them, I promise.
Around June I stopped taking my eye medication because I hadn’t had a problem with my eyes in months. I got really lazy about doing it; then I stopped them altogether.
Turns out, the reason I stopped having problems with my eyes was because I was religiously taking my medication. Whodathunk. Now I have to work to get back to the place I was before I decided I was “better” (I wasn’t!).
If you thought this post was just about anti-depressants or lithium, it could be! For me, this post is about eyedrops, for you it might be about antibiotics, or it might be about zoloft. Whatever it is, please consider talking to your doctor before making a sudden shift to stop taking it. It’s not bad to be on medication. It’s not bad to need it.
…and on a related note, do not let anyone tell you that because you start feeling worse if you don’t take your medication, that means you’re “addicted”. That is not how addiction works.
Okay everyone reblog this version
There’s an annecdote somewhere around the internet about someone who had an organ transplant when they were a kid; cause when you get organ transplants you’re put on anti-rejection medication for life.
The doctor pulls the kid aside and says after the surgery: “These are you anti-rejection pills. One day a few years from now, when you’re sixteen or maybe seventeen, you’re gonna have a thought? ‘Why am I still taking these? I’ve never had a problem’ and you’re gonna stop taking them, go into rejection, and die if we can’t find you another new kidney. So. Don’t do that.”
The kid says, “No I won’t: I’m not stupid.”
And the doctor says, “Yes you are: Everyone is.”
And then years down the line when they were sixteen or seventeen, they had that thought, and they remember that conversation with their doctor, and then they kept taking their anti-rejection meds.
If you think you’re not stupid,
