Time to get out of here 👀

#hi hello holy shit I’m so happy w this #I don’t understand how I haven’t drawn six more often this is great #I was scared that the coat would be difficult to draw but uhhhh- ye no it turned out amazing #like I tend to want to keep myself humble when talking about my own art but in this case I’m actually so darn happy w the result #I think this single-handedly gave me hubris I’m gonna fight god and win #/j but only a little #little nightmares

me, watching chongming stocks go up: it's all coming together

#listen if this is going to be the first ''eye candy'' ship i get into well it's joever but its cute + oh well gotta make my two faves kiss #generally prefer chong.ming though over ming.yun because i don't like clashing ship names and we alr got a ming.yun village #i'm also haunted by that one post i made about xing.yun's name being a pun and ming.yun being a pun just reminds me of that #but most importantly chong.ming follows the ship name convention of first half of 1st chara's name x 2nd half of 2nd chara's #name and i think that's nice because i'm a stickler #ming.yun is 2nd half of name x 2nd half of name and ghsdkfhgij im nitpicky LMAO #it also doesn't clash with anything currently which i like because again i'm just pedantic with these things #chongming #why am i being such a hater towards a ship i like? it's called keeping myself humble- JKJKJKJK #if they come out and have no interaction well i guess i'll put on a clown hat and keep on shipping idk </3 my two faves.... please though #ramblings!

AANZHAMDBAKSKSISI THANK U FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION I LOVE UR INTERPRETATION AND I LOVE YOUR DRAWINGS if u don't mind me asking more questions- when your rub popped into existence did he went through something like that spooky drawing where it took him a while to process the fact that he had just been born and had no idea what he was supposed to do or did he just went "oh yeah i'm robtop this is my world and i'm in charge whatever" ALSO this one may sound a little weird (u don't have to answer it if u don't want to) but does the real word has any influence over this world? Like- since u said rub it's just a digital representation of the real rob let's just say the real rob decides he no longer likes idk, potbor (just an example) so he deletes him from the game, does that mean your rubrub will just go "yk what, for no apparent reason I don’t like you anymore, so im gonna kill u"?

And a less weird question: do the shopkeepers and guardians need to eat? If so, do they have any favorite foods?

HSDAHDAHG NO PROBLEM and you can ask as many questions as you want!!! It really doesen't bother me at all, in fact I get really excited bout em!!!!

So, to answer the first question: Spooky was the one that had the hardest time at adjusting to his surroundings and he spent a few days still wobbling around till he understood his intended "purpose". Rub on the other hand, as the creator, he knew exactly where he was and what his goals were right off the bat.

For the second question, you hit the nail right in the head :) Any decision or verdict that the real rub makes is immediately passed onto the robo rub in the digital realm (tadc flashbacks are killing me) so yeah he just goes "You're now considered a hindrance to the peace of this realm" and bada pim bada bum poor potbor's gone as well as everyone's memories of him. Though he CAN make decisions without having the real rub make them for him. They're the same person but at the same time they are not (A kind of example might be Severance and the whole 'innie' and 'outie' thing they have going on but if you haven't watched that series....welp im out of examples. If I don't make myself clear please don't be afraid to ask and that way I can formulate a coherent answer the 1000th time :') ).

And to answer the third question: The guardians don't need to eat but can do so if desired. The shopkeeper species on the other hand do need to eat. They are the nearest thing to a human being apart from the players.

Though the shopkeeper's meals are always limited to 2 or three types of foods so there isn't really any variety for them. Thankfully for rub, they aren't really picky and are indifferent about the fact that they eat the same stuff every day on their lunch break.

#faceee rambles #geometry dash interpretation #I have to post that one small reference sheet for the shopkeeper species #They are simple beings with humble lives #ALSO I DONT KNOW IF I MADE MYSELF CLEAR ON THIS: Scratch Potbor and Dia.Shopkeeper are NOT included in the shopkeeper species #It is probably obvious and im just paranoid BUT JUST IN CASE!!!! #Scartch does consume a lot of motor oil tho #Keeps his nasty ass breath as permanent as possible 😁

the urge to follow up a compliment with a negative self statement is so strong sometimes, it feels as if I have to physically restrain myself from saying it.

#someone says 'oh you are really good at playing that song' and i say nah not really i haven't practiced as much as i should have #or 'gee your hair looks nice today' and I say 'thanks but i didn't do anything special with it' #little things like that. like i have to keep myself humble (but in a self-deprecating kind of way) #'i lost four pounds' someone says 'thats awesome!' and i follow up with 'whoopee 4 whole pounds' #I'm never enough for me. and I've spent the last few years trying to be kinder to myself

One other note: my uncle once remarked that 100+ year old hymns are the only legitimate way to worship because the writers of contemporary Christian music don't Suffer like people used to in Ye Olden Times. Which was. Definitely A Take.

#this particular uncle has some truly wild theological hot takes #he's the same guy who for a while insisted on doing home church with one other family #bc he couldn't find a church that agreed with Every Single One of his incredibly specific theological convictions #so there's that #pontifications and creations #sunday school kid #sometimes i have to remind myself that i am at most two degrees away from hardcore fundementalism. keeps me humble

i think maybe an implicit assumption of a lot of anti-porn or porn-skeptical sentiments is assuming that sexuality is opposite to rational thought.

there's a sense that you have to shut down your brain to get off. and that's a sexy notion--both in the sense of having widespread appeal and being kinda kinky :P--but it's deeply flawed.

in particular, there is an underlying sense that rational thought is the core defensive mechanism of all things decent and prosocial, and it must stand guard against our base, carnal natures to prevent disaster.

on both fronts, the notion is wrong: rationality and sexuality can coexist, and rationality is not harmless while carnality is harmful--both can be positive sometimes and destructive other times.

yet the so-called rational mind is often treated as the last bastion against predation (both as victim and assailant). porn with "problematic" themes is sometimes treated like a unique tool of regressive brainwashing compared to other forms of storytelling, but this seems to assume that the rational mind vanishes in service of sexual pleasure, leaving the subconscious vulnerable to implantation of backwards ideas. in actuality, i don't think porn is more likely to change someone's mind than any other kind of art, i just think it's often more honest about its hang-ups.

explicitness can seem tactless, but arguably the rawness of expression allows us to feel the whole of our responses to topics that may feel taboo and untouchable in the everyday.

and that's another thing... rather than a unilaterally celebratory attitude, i think pornographic stories can--intentionally and unintentionally--elicit challenging feelings: dread, ambivalence, confusion, disgust, and fascination, among other things. these may not be sexually arousing, but they are a different kind of stimulating.

and even if creators didn't intend for you to treat their work as anything other than, ahem, fap material, i think you can challenge yourself to read it as a story and to analyze it the same way you would other works.

if you fear losing your rationally-based moral compass in a whirlwind of carnality, then try and see if you can hold pleasure and pain together simultaneously. choose to make meaning of the work you have deemed meaningless.

when we approach with some curiosity, i think challenging topics in porn can act as a trick mirror that reflect a side of us that we may not have wanted to see, but still needed.

i would like to transmute the energy used to reject and avoid topics that trigger the discomfort of confronting the evils of our world into energy used to witness and examine our relationship to those evils. sometimes, they are so alien to us that they become objects of exotic fascination. sometimes, they are closer to our hearts than we may think. either way, i hope we can move past the idea that sexuality and thoughtfulness cannot coexist harmoniously.

#indexed post #It's extremely late I'm half asleep this might not be super coherent #I'm keeping reblogs on as a bravery exercise but please be patient #I also am like super guilty of drawing this dichotomy myself. I'm almost embarrassed to post this lest we reexamine my old writing and find #This topic's sticky fingerprints everywhere #But again. Exercise in bravery. #Anyways really I just wrote this because I get mad that people assume porno comics are all just schlocky nonsense #Its like You dont even kjow the heartbreak. The intrigue. The bitterness and the overwhelm of the humble sex cartoon #Anysays I have autism and I want people to take the art I care about seriously. What else is new

it’s new year’s eve, and i’m spending it in taking care of my grandmother—she keeps forgetting where she is and who i am, but staying home to take care of her and give her reminders is reassuring not just for herself, but for myself as well

our language barriers and memory problems have us struggle to communicate, but there’s something about how regardless, being a family staying together is wordless and timeless—it’s new year’s eve, and it’s both happy and heartbreaking to spend the present with her while knowing how the future will end

#happy holidays…! things from the car crash and ‘return to normalcy’ being my ba ngoai’s caretaker are humbling reminders #of our mortality and what we have lost/will lose but more importantly what to cherish and acknowledge esp in the present #i love people! i lost people! i will keep on losing people! even though i can’t love myself i can keep on loving others!! #i’m… very bittersweet about everything feeling both happiness and sorrow #esp w the ever present feeling of just Existing but not Living

If you've ever wondered what an editorial correction looks like:

Me: "Mary was a beautiful woman. She-" Editor: Three spelling mistakes. Horrible grammar. Too many colloquialisms. Where's the punctuation? Honest to God, worst sentence I've ever read.

Told my coworkers that it snowed yesterday so I don't rly have any big weekend plans and they're like oh, that's a sign that you should come live in California! And I'm like no!!! The point is that every day is a new day full of mysteries and wonders. What else is the world bringing me today.

#was i close to ending it all. yes. but like oasis says. sunshine follows thunder. and the cold keeps you humble!!! #it makes you appreciate the summer when you have it!!!!! #<- lying to myself. or am i.

I twisted my ankle in front of a store today, people actually were concerned enough to ask if I was fine. I almost FELL right on top of a toddler. I can't go out of my room without embarrassing myself for 15 minutes. Now I can't sleep because it hurts enough to be annoying. Spare me from my suffering this new years eve by depositing $100 in me account.

#im a menace to society a danger to myself #im joking but i am... in need of a cheer up #aughhh im so embarrassed why do i have stupid fucking feets i am so sorry everyone i never learned to walk #there's something so silly and girly about fucking tripping/falling down and i don't know why do I have to experience it #ig this kind lf stuff is keeping me humble #ALSO i dont know who even is going to read this. but it feels unfair to say that im sad right now #because i was meaning to make a post about how y'all leaving small comments before in my art actually made me pretty happy #So. thank you forever. ily. sorry for the occasional whining #me blabbering
