What are you tired of people asking you?

[NickRowler]

I just remembered one...

"Are you high?" was one I got a lot when I was in school. No, I don't do drugs or even drink, I just sometimes like to draw weird things

[Luminosophy]

Dude I use math in every game I play to figure out the most effective use of my time getting ahead in certain things. It actually allowed me to become a very competitive build in an MMO that some classes couldn't beat, it was practically broken. This is coming from someone who hated math class. :T

[heterodont]

Relatively new considering the spotlight feature, but the amount of people asking me if my story is a BL

It's not in the description.
Or the banner.
or the icon.

so why ask.

Just because there's two dudes doesn't mean its a BL. stories with lgbt characters exist outside of that label...

Ahahah, yush games use maths too. Just think of Hearthstone, Gwent and Yugioh. But you'd be surprised how many people really say that to me. It does depend on who you are around. Academic people will say "Oh wow, I could never do that" or "Cool, so do you want to be a math teacher?"

Oh actually that one is kinda annoying to. If I wanted to be a bloody teacher, I would be majoring in math education.

Anyway, the average person you come across is impressed often and comments about how they don't need maths.

Funny thing is my comic is called Beautiful Lies. For a short period of time I was referring to it by its initials and my icon used the initials. But ehm, it was misleading because it would just say B.L.

"How many chapters are there going to be?"

Look I know how my manga and how my novel will end, and the big important points throughout these, but sometimes inspiration hits me and I add some stuff, or take out some stuff that I thought wasn't useful to the plot anymore.

I usually answer with "As many as its going to take."

I also often get the "Can you draw/paint (blank) for me?" Most recent one was the (insert chosen blasphemy here) former manager "Can you paint this statue of a cat to look like my dead cat?". I could, but do I really want to?

"Why aren't you making money?"

[Kura]

currently working on several active comic/game/work projects with very little free time even though I shouldn't be pushing myself like that because of my health problems

• "K. But when are you going to update 'title of comic on hold'??? I don't like this other stuff it's trash compared."

Makes me want to never work on that comic ever again when I get harassed like that about it, no joke, when I get a "Update now." or "Update now or else" or "Stop being lazy and update" I schedule the next page for that project back another month.

[TheThoughtfulBoxful]

Oh my god...

Every time I design a black female character:
"That girl looks just like you! Is that supposed to be you?"

This.
"...Is that a tracing?"

Siblings:
"How come you're STILL working on my commission? I asked for it days ago!"

Mind you, they've never paid me.

[Wolven_Sister]

"Did you draw that?"
Actually no, I have no idea where this drawing came from...in front of me, under my pencil...ಠ_ಠ
"You drew and wrote this story too?!?"
"Can you teach me how to draw?"
"I wish I could draw! How do you do it?!?"
"Did you know your story/character remind me of [insert other title/character here]?"
"Do you know [insert artist name]? Your style reminds me of theirs."
"Wait, so you don't work for DC or Marvel?"
"Why do you want to be a full-time comic artist? You know they struggle a lot right?
No shit Sherlock.

Questions unrelated to art:
"How can you not like superhero movies?!?!"
"You've been married for X amount of years, when you are going to have children?"
"What do you mean you don't like Walking Dead/Doctor Who/Harry Potter/etc..?!?"
"Look at this baby! Isn't it cute??? Doesn't it make you want one now?!?!"

[joe_galindez]

But for real, when are you going to have children

[Kura]

"You've been married for X amount of years, when you are going to have children?"
"Look at this baby! Isn't it cute??? Doesn't it make you want one now?!?!"

**** these questions and all those similar to them a thousand times over.

[Wolven_Sister]

bwahahaha XD XD

Hmm...I guess when we terraform Mars.

[LordVincent]

I finally stopped getting "when will you have kids" questions after parading around the "this is why I will never have babies" phrase whenever a kid did a bad thing for years, along with reminding everyone I hate children, and finishing it off with "Pregnancy disgusts me and as a trans man it would probably make me suicidal".

Anyone who cares about me now has cut down on trying to convince me to have kids. Probably mostly because they would rather avoid the lecture on why children are a waste of time, effort and money and how they would essentially ruin my life and everything I enjoy.

...so yeah in order to get rid of annoying questions I had to give the answers that would make people so pissed at me that they go "actually it's better if there's not more than one of you".

Mom still thinks there's a chance I'll change my mind and adopt someday, but she seems to have come to peace with the idea of her grandchildren on my part being furry, fourlegged and saying "meow".

[joe_galindez]

@Kura Don't be so hard on your folks. They're running on instinct, and instinct is telling them the tribe always needs more babies.

@Wolven_Sister "Well technically the Mars rovers may have already brought Earth microbes with them." -- your husband, probably.

Ah, I'm just kidding. It's a personal choice that I can respect.

[dragonryuzk718]

"What do you mean you don't like Walking Dead/Doctor Who/Harry Potter/etc..?!?"

Well, to be fair, Walking Dead is an acquired taste. I finally started watching it when season 6 was running.

As for Harry Potter, I finally watched the series 5 years after the seris ended. I am on Book 4, but I lost it at the moment.

And then Dr. Who. F$$$ Dr. Who.

[BlackRoses_RedRavens]

Ones I get a lot are

shows picture to someone
"Why are there no legs/hands/face"
Or "Where's the body/head"
THEY AREN'T THERE BECAUSE I EITHER HAVEN'T DRAWN THEM YET OR CHOOSE NOT TO! Seriously i posted a few of my drawing online and they didn't have feet as they were old drawing from when i didn't know how to draw feet and one was a character and i couldn't remember how her shoes looked and my "friend" pointed out on everyone that they didn't have feet and then when i posted one with feet she was like gasp there are feet!

picture has no face
"Oh you will only get better at faces if you practice"
-__- thats not why it has no face...

shows my parents or my ex a picture
"Did you draw this? This is really good I'm surprised."/ "You drew this with a laptop?! Its really good for a laptop drawing"
uh.... no i didn't draw it that's why I'm showing you my laptop with sai open with all the layers and stuff telling you I drew it. Really my friend/ex kept saying my drawing is good for the fact I drew on a laptop. Im like okay i get it im not as good as you but at least make it seem like you liked it

has an unlined or uncoloured drawing
"You need to line/colour that"
No, no i don't. once I was drawing the three versions of Keneki (did i spell that right?)from tokyo ghoul and my gran said "you need to colour that by next time you come over so i know which is the white haired one" i could just tell you?

"Can you write my name fancy" or "Can you do my handwriting"
So I'm good at copying hand writing but i need practice to do it write and people keep asking me to copy theirs straight away from like one word. I also know calligraphy and people keep asking me to write their name.

"thats a lot of numbers"
Yes, thats the point of binary (when i get bored count/write in binary)

"I love your username. I love Ren and Nora/Renora?RWBY"
Yeah so do i thats why LieRennyValkyrie_ is my username also cause Ren is like basically my name now.

One if only been asked once but it pissed me off:
"oooh your scottish? Have you ever worn a kilt? Can you play bagpipes? Do you have a pet unicorn?"
Yes I'm part scottish thats why i just told you it. As far as you know I'm a girl why would i have work a kilt they are traditionally a male clothing article? but yes i have worn one. No i can not play bagpipes. Yes yes of course i have a pet unicorn because every person who is scottish has a pet unicorn.

oh and
"Do you have a scottish accent?"
You've known me for 1 and a half years. No I do not as I don't live in scotland and have never actually been there, My family is from scotland. I live in Australia I have an aussie accent

[BlackRoses_RedRavens]

some of those aren't questions i know but they are things im sick of being told

[rantscomics]

Will you make me a character in your comic?

[ISNEKO]

Whatchu gonna do with all that junk?

All that junk inside yo trunk?

[ISNEKO]

Sounds like an adorable chimera.
