"We'll live lovely forever" has stuck in my head since reading this comic the first time, however many years ago. Though I always remembered it as "We'll live lovely, forever".

Goddamn it, this annoys me. A qualified therapist is(in addition to offering CBT coping mechanisms) likely to tell you to develop a hobby, exercise more, and meet new people.

Someone trying any of those is doing a good thing for their depression. Therapy isn't magic get-better words. At its very best, it's personalized, evidence-based advice on what will help.

Interrupting someone's healthy self care plan to tell them to a forced clinical approach is just as loving lovely as telling people things like "you're not depressed, you just need to get out more"

People let the chronological posting of it lapse.

I tried to pick it up but then someone else picked it up before the point I'd started.


The PYF part is confusing because picking your favorite parts means leaving out the embarrassing and historical parts and then everyone would post the same thing over and over.

skeleton warrior posted:

In early webcomics circles people used to talk about “pulling a Cerebus” - i.e., attemtping to imitate Dave Sim’s transition of his comic from its early stage of stupid parody jokes into its mid stage of complex, interesting drama. Many webcomic authors tried to do it, only a very few actually managed to do it.

Ishida is probably the only one who jumped from the early stage Cerebus joke-a-day format straight into the late stage Cerebus use-my-comic-to-scream-about-my-political-enemies-and-their-conspiracies-against-me

I'm pretty sure Ishida is far from the only one, just one of the few who had significant popularity and clout beforehand.

Supposedly the timeline went that he started out with cheeky, mildly self-depreciating fratboy humour and his girlfriend supposedly got him into radfem in the insincerely self-flagellating male feminist style, see also Joss Whedon. Then that went full more into hardcore SWERF and TERFdom, with a lot of his fans starting to get nervous and wonder when he's going to start making jokes again. (Though with a lot of it, you can see the early warning signs from a while back, like a weird fixation on pimps and hoes) And then he got Twitter poisoning pretty much immediately and has gone full disingenuous cancel culture chud.

Are you talking about actual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or cock and ball torture? So hard to tell around here.

But if CBT everything bilateral is okay? Your therapist might wave their finger around or encourage you to think about poo poo while you're walking. Kind of a big area.

Tapping thighs or chest or just watching the way your legs move as you walk are all legitimate ways to be mindful.

You start out posting transphobic poo poo, get called out by people who aren't transphobes and get lauded by people who are transphobes. So you start hanging out with transphobes, because those people won't call you an rear end in a top hat. And before you know it you've fallen down a social media rabbit hole were everyone who agrees with you and compliments you and interacts positively with you in any way are altrighters, qanonists and magamen.

This is just a theory, but I think it happens when they get past the point of no return and can't be argued or reasoned with any longer. They start taking non-terf's frustrated unwillingness to engage with them anymore as sign of an underlying conspiracy and it's easy for maga chuds to sell that back to them as 'proof' that their way of thinking is correct.

it makes a lot more sense when you realize that most transphobes actually just loving loathe women and are happy rooting for whichever team is going to let them openly do that. so they start out concern trolling about trans people because it gave their misogyny a veneer of mainstream social acceptability but they eventually realize that they can just join the out and proud bigots.

It took me 5 days, because I was splitting apart my earlier comics for webtoons, I know I had said I dropped them, but I was thinking if I re-did everything so that it scrolled better maybe it'd be more attractive to the webtoon fanbase, I'd get more eyes on it. and then realized I was doing an insane amount of work for something I don't even like, so I drew this update over again, but instead of 800px at 900px but still couldn't get it right. Then after I drew it the third time, I realized something really important. I want to do all sorts of stupid poo poo with this comic, whether it's crappy animations, or lining up fight scenes with music, or writing short stories to go along with them, and I can't do any of that with webtoons. If I want to show this the way I want too, if I want to follow a personal vision, then I need more horizontal space, and the freedom that only a webforum or website could provide. So I started over again, I better planned out what I wanted to do, and I'm fully settled no more flip flopping, I'm making a webcomic not a webtoon, and I'm going to have to get popular off of my own website and forums. That also means comic is big now.

ALSO I have my website up again after the log4j attack, but I still need to remake the supplemental information. Did a whole re-design, and I've actually cut out the other project and am 100% focusing on the comic. If you have ANY experience in webdesign or creating a usable UX then please give me your words. I still don't know how to make a last post button, and I'm still figuring out how to make the side widget collapsible so a giant orange button isn't floating in your face.
