He's not always.. He just couldn't help but use my art as part of a joke, since other people were doing it anyway.

I keep telling him FYAD is bad, but he says it's really not so bad when the people they make fun of are deserving of it. He admits that it is full of mean people though.

Bah. Evenings are terrible for me. I always get overly sensitive and cranky when I am tired, but I don't want to go to bed when I am sad! Does anyone else get like that? Maybe it's because I will be bleeding soon and tend to over think things and think more negatively when I am tired.

I need to go watch a happy thing.

Umm. It's not so bad when the people deserve it? That's implying that he thinks you deserve it so it's ok for him to do it. As a fiancé it's his job to defend you from dicks, not join in the mob rush for fun.

You should get Implanon/Nexplanon! A silicon rod that's mildly radioactive and has stopped me bleeding entirely. I think 20% of women get no periods when using it, and most of the rest get them super reduced.

I sometimes misclick on my phone when trying to get to e/n and I swipe backwards as soon as I see that godawful pink. Bf reads some threads but doesn't touch the poop, which I think is for the best. Watching monkeys fling poo poo might be amusing, but it's your own fault if you jump in there with them and get shat on.

That's not nice at all. My bf is super into ironic twitter and he would never make fun of me to amuse other people. If he does mention me it is usually as a contrast to make himself look silly.

You like making art and you know that practice will only make you better. Him making fun of you is mean. :(

It's not as bad as all that. He said people were photoshopping my art and he took a panel from my comic for a hand that I drew and photoshopped the hand going into a butt because he thought it would be funny because of what other people were posting about Galactus and butts and stuff.

When he told me this, I told him that was my hand, because all the hands I've been drawing in my comic have been based off sketches of my own hand.

I think he felt a little bad about that.

He is a good fiancé really. Everyone saying that he's bad is only making me feel worse. :(

I would never get implanon. I'm terrified enough of needles, let alone implants, and my periods are already massively reduced with my current birth control.

im permabanned poster niggerstomper58. i first started reading fyad when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "irony" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "friend of the family balls" and "i love making GBS threads inside friend of the family assholes" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "ironic" style of fyad humor was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" fyad to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

I think maybe he's not bad or malicious but he might not be very bright. If he thinks fyad is just supportive friendship time then maybe he just needs you to explain that it hurt your feelings to offer your art up to ridicule.

Bf offers this metaphor: if you know a region is full of swooping baby-eating eagles, and you leave your baby sitting out on a rock, sure you didn't eat the baby yourself and maybe you just wanted to show the eagles how cool your baby was, but it's kinda your fault when the eagles swoop down and eat the baby.

nessa I hadn't actually taken a look at your comic before! some actual constructive criticism: are you using a tablet to draw this? if so, have you tried using pressure-sensitive brush tools? they can make a big difference in the line quality

note: I am not a trained artist of any sort so my advice may be sub-par

e: oh also! practicing drawing human anatomy can help a lot, I love this site for that. and this is good too

I have started to use pressure sensitivity, yes. My art class starts in 2 weeks and hopefully I will learn some fundamentals because I have never had any formal training. I have been getting a lot of constructive advice in the Making Comics thread though.

What sucks the most is not being "new" to drawing. I've been drawing for years and sucked the whole time, watching as all of my peers far surpassed me in skill.

I think it will be very helpful for someone to watch me draw and actually tell me what I am doing wrong.
