Last Day of 2025!

It's days like today I'm annoyed with being a neurodivergent adult. Other days, I accept it. Some days, I resent it. But I always see it more as a blessing the older I get. 

Job hunting is a lie now

This was my response to a web cartoonist asking us how was the job hunt in our countries: 

Job hunting in the US is awful! Everything they say is a damn lie: if you're already employed, it's easier to move up = LIE, if you have the qualifications listed, you have a foot in the door = LIE, if you attend this type of school, you will be a worthy job candidate = LIE. I worked at my college alma mater for several years, in different job positions and was even a supervisor at one point, and applied in strategic ways: I applied to teach at my high school alma mater, which was one of my college's satellite locations, and they told me they already had someone even though they had put up a job notice online. My resume also sat for 2 YEARS in another pile(on their database) when I applied to work at another campus I was familiar with because I attended their book fair events often. Now I'm home trying to build my own business.

Dreams can help

Solidarity in comfort

Found an artist on Tumblr and learned they struggle with health and this gives me comfort. Not in a 'misery loves company'(never got this concept) sort of way, but more that as chronically sick creatives, we are surviving in a world that disrespects our creativity and dishonors our disabilities.

I have to make provisions...

I'm making sure to set up some display tablets from various companies on my eBay wishlist(nothing refurbished), so in case of emergency, one of my most important digital tools can be replaced WITHIN the US.

Character Proportions

There's a manhwa I'm reading where I am ecstatic that the artist improved the proportions of the characters. This story is a spin-off of the first series.

I won't mention the title or artist, because I loved the story so much, but I can't stand what I call "Brown Hornet" Syndrome - broad neck, shoulders, arms & chest, all of the torso muscular, but then from the waist and downward are like pencils/toothpicks.

It's especially egregious in the US superhero genre and any comic where there are preternaturally strong characters. Now, if the style is cartoonish, exaggerated, I don't mind the "Brown Hornet" look.

But if the art style is semi-realistic, it bothers me enough that the story and plots better be super engaging, or I'm out.

Case in point: my ML, Peter Dunlop, is a former footballer. He was a linebacker. Though this is anthro/furry, a little cartoonish with some manga aesthetics, I need him proportioned. I need ALL my OCs proportioned, regardless of body types. Or, moreso because of real-life body shapes.
