sneak into yoga sessions and creepily draw people 
after all, it's free
gasp.......... clever
ive considered stuff like that actually, its nice, natural. back when i studied theatre the actors used to lounge about in place a lot while the director gave instructions, i got some great drawings of them. dancers too! dancers are the best! i could organise a deal with the dance students at college, were in the same block and pretty friendly. double win, bc i love watching dance (and dancers are very very attractive, wholesale)
that said, actual life drawing sessions have the benefit of being able to ask someone to stay in place for an exact period of time, chasing after a pose before its gone can be stressful
I shift accents as I engage online. It's just sorta fun for me, and I also hope the playfulness of it helps to make clear that I'm in good spirits in regards to the discussion 
.
One does not simply sneak into yoga...
...Right? I mean, those rooms are pretty small. Wouldn't they catch you and throw you out x) ?
anyway, anyway! yes! moving on!
ive recently reconnected with a dear friend from school, and its really nice, but she has this habit of calling me out of the blue to chat. i really love it, but its so hard to double-focus, and i end up going 'yeah yeah yep' for whole conversations. :U she seems to appreciate it tho, its nice to hear from her
i have a tonne of csp brushes now and i love each and every one, but bc i go so long between different stages of page making, i keep forgetting what brush ive been using for what stage. its so frustrating, i need to take more thorough notes ://
it does! but i dont wanna change the names and forget what they are, yknow? i wish it had a little notes section for each brush. the real solution is for me to like, film me making a batch sometime so i have the entire process to reference (thatd be a biiiiig file though)
or, well, make notes... but thats effort...
Does anyone else get like "envious" of bi/pan people? I mean you get more choices, and if anyone asks what your sexuality is you can just say that you love everyone and you won't be judged as much. Like 15% of my school is bi/pan and I don't know a single person who is straight up gay. The only person I can truly relate to is one of my guy friends because he's so straight he's practically a lesbian
howmst?
i feel u, im the only person in my friendgroup who doesnt like guys (bi girls, straight girls, one gay guy) and its rly weird. kinda lonely, in a way? but im like aggressively deliberately proud of being a lesbian, so i dont find myself envying bi ppl a lot ig.
I wouldn't say I outright envy them given the stigmas attached, but I will say that if I could choose, I'd prefer to be more attracted to men. I imagine it being easier to find a significant other, or at the very least a date T_T .
If I could be bi, I reckon that'd be close enough. Maybe. Depends how bi I was.
I have a slightly trickier struggle I guess?
Try being a transgender homosexual panromantic who in practice has very little interest in actually approaching romance with actual people and prefer fiction. Or rather, try explaining it to people when they ask 
I usually just say I'm a gay dude to keep it short xD
Tapas forums in their excellence, I'd say <3
Aaaaaanyway, I'm tired. It's only 9pm and I want to go to bed already.
I wanna stay up til like 3-4am and draw comics but I'm probably sleeping before 10pm.
Don't get sleeping habits
(aka a routine because you end up sleepy at the same time every day D: )
This is not true. Being bi does not mean you love everyone, it just means you are sexually attracted to both men and women. You can still be judgy as fuck. Also, some straight people don't want to date bi people due to them feeling like they will cheat on them. Some gay people also feel a little iffy about bi people.
theres this concept of the split attraction model, that originated in asexual/aromantic circles and spread. not everyone likes the use of the model, but in some cases it can be pretty useful
-sexual, a la pansexual or bisexual, is your sexual attraction. who you wanna bone, innit
-romantic, a la panromantic or aromantic, is your romantic attraction. who you wanna date and that
personally, i dont like using them outside of ace/aro talks, bc i feel like the understanding of whats sexual and whats romantic (and whats platonic) can get really murky and confusing, but i do see the appeal in the model
i forgot if I complained about this already or not, but I'm gonna be able to drive in a few months, but since I'm so short, I need one of THESE bad boys:
Have you read Help Wanted? I enjoyed it so far.
The others I like were already listed.
This one is short and cute
I like this one also but it's far more advanced in Spanish.
I also like Tamen De Gushi.
There are others pretty interesting from Lezhin but most of them are +18 lol
Dude, it really doesn't do any good to call people names and throw around labels like that.
So comedians can only talk about people who resemble them? How close does this resemblance need to be?
I don't think it's any better to ignore the black person in the room.
But in this case it's not mean-spirited laughter. I feel like this joke would only be hurtful to people who aren't comfortable with their skin color.
This probably ties in with the "it's not your story to tell" conversation we promised we wouldn't pick up until much later. But as a comedian I don't think any subject ought to be taboo. Jokes can be in poor taste, it's true, but that doesn't mean we should stop talking about big parts of the human experience.
It's like this stand-up session where the guy starts making rape jokes. He was talking from a place of knowledge and sympathy, but this woman in the audience just had to tell him to stop. Weeping, she said that she was a rape victim and that these sorts of jokes were painful to her. The comedian agreed (again, he was coming from a place of knowledge and sympathy) but I feel like the woman should've left the room instead. She never once considered that maybe there were other rape victims in the audience and that laughing about the subject was how they came to terms with it.
I understand. It's just that I was afraid it would continue, and I don't speak Jive.
@spicy_sweets @punkarsenic In my case I have noticed attraction works in varying ways.
So basically:
I am sexually attracted to the male form in general. I enjoy drawing it, I find it appealing regardless of romantic involvement. Even better if there is passion and romance involved (speaking of fiction rn). I do seek out manXman erotica for the sake of indulging in it.
I am not sexually attracted to the female form or any nonbinary form in its own.
I can feel romantic attraction to a man. It is very rare, and takes quite a lot. So much that I don't even feel it's worth trying to find anyone because I'm doing fine single and don't feel the need to go through the effort.
I can also feel romantic attraction to women. In fact I've found women easier to get along with on a friendly level and on a closer emotional level, so getting into a romantic relationship with a woman would actually be more likely than with a man. This is despite me not having sexual attraction to women in my usual state.
Nonbinary people go by the same "tendencies/rules" for me as women do.
I have had a girlfriend in the past and I do know that if a woman I love expresses a wish to engage sexually, it can gradually awaken sexual interest for women in me. I did even like lesbian erotica for a while when I was together with her. Since ending the relationship, I have lost all interest in lesbian erotica.
This interest is of a different nature, however. The main attraction lies in the idea of engaging in a passionate act with someone I love. Knowing it will make them happy, etc. Appreciating their body and making them feel beautiful.
So yeah sorry for the long description but romanticism and sexuality are a complicated matter that is very very personal. On top of this, it's fluid as all hell, so what I just described might not apply to how I identify at all a few years from now.
Nobody should be afraid of a line of thought. But I'll leave this for us to pick up later.
Before we move on, though, I have to ask. Do you really think we have more differences than similarities? Do you really think we can never come to understand each other?
This thread is such a wild ride.
One moment it has some curves, the next we are shooting backwards at extreme speed, and then there's a loop and I guess it's best to keep seat belts buckled. Little Kevin got catapulted out of his seat at the last loop. I hope he is doing well.
Anyway,
I should be comicking or working on art orders.
Instead of im tempted to go sleep. Woke up feeling like a bus hit my face.
what, you and me? or is this a general we?
if you mean generally, you never got my point to start with, bc thats not it. if you mean the two of us... idk where ive implied that, i imagine we understand eachother pretty well, even if we fundamentally disagree in many ways.
When you come back from brunch to see 60 replies and think it's a joke but it's not a joke
Anywhoo, I've got a complaint:
Chicago Weather, man. For this winter, it's been one crazy ride. December and Janauray were hella nice. I'm talking cold temperatures to 60 degrees nice. I'm talking "it's 40 degrees, but it's been so cold, this is a heatwave" nice.
Suddenly February hits and we get 3 months worth of snow. Now it's only a few days after Valentine's Day, and nearly all that snow is gone. We went from being in the nicer part of snowy Canada to nearly fall Chicago, and we're supposed to have 50 degree weather this coming week.
Chicago weather is trying to kill people. I can't decide if I NEED a coat or not. And the weather tracker can change in a minute.
As the saying goes: "Want the weather in Chicago to change? Wait 10 minutes"
