Thread activity: draw a picture that describes your comic's 2015 using your comic's characters.
I made a Choose Your Own Adventure inspired in Jack and the Beanstalk:
http://jackandthebeanstalk.thecomicseries.com/
Feel free to make suggestions about the course the plot should take, the way the Giant should look, who should be the villain, suggest any OC or a crossover with another fairy tale, I promise every single idea will be taken in consideration, no matter how crazy.

How old is Mimi anyway?
>>78570702
In her 20s.
>>78569893
Everyone wants to fuck annabeth!
>>78570733
Does she have human parents?
I need to know more Mimi lore.
>>78570814
She does not. She is only Mimi.
Last drawing of 2015 for me! Happy New Years, dudes!
I'm still struggling to get my comic off the ground. The issue is I'm torn between "professional" methods of doing pages(comic boards, pen liners, etc) or just doing them like a pleb the way I'm used to(as pictured: ballpoint pen on regular paper).
>>78570892
How did she come to this plane of existence?
>>78570898
holy shit dem lines
>>78571036
It's a really dumb story. I'm kind of conflicted about explaining it. It would also reveal WHAT she is.
>>78571095
We want to know!
>>78571168
sometimes it's best not to have everything handed to you..
>>78571168
She came here because of a shojo manga called Godchild (It's only good for the fab drawings of classy hot men and having a nice gothic aura. It's trash otherwise). That's the most I'll give away.
wink wink.
>>78571269
Well, I guess that's her type. How does she turn down dorks who try to ask her out?
>>78571269
>She came here because of a shojo manga called Godchild (It's only good for the fab drawings of classy hot men and having a nice gothic aura. It's trash otherwise).
heyyyy.... the story isn't completely garbage. It had a neat "crazy murderous psychopath whodunnit" per chapter format served in a elegant victorian style.
I'll admit I haven't read the end series, I only have the first volume.
>>78571470
It wasn't the dudes that she liked it for. I own the series myself for that reason though. I wanted to learn how to draw attractive men. It didn't really help so I'm stuck with it. yeah, I'm that dumb.
I don't think she even realizes dudes are asking her out or what being asked out means.
>>78571556
It becomes SUPER gay after volume 3. That mangaka really likes unconventional romances (in this case the unconventional bit is more the abuse than the gay) seeing as her other popular work is about incest. I got up to the mad hatter in Angel Sanctuary before I had it.
scrublord.... are you really doin' this? I thought that scene at the lever kinda said it all and it was over and done with.
>>78569893
Better luck in 2016!
>You've got a ways to go yet but your art's really been improving. Honestly I've found myself really looking forward to new pages of this comic showing up on the tumblr feed. Keep at it man.
Hey, thanks. Couldn't have done it without your guy's advice and encouragement. Can only hope to keep it up this coming year.
new years resolution: im actually going to do my fucking comic, and other creative stuff, and do it fucking good
speaking of which, i need a video or any sort of visual reference of porcelain or any similar type of materials being cut into by a weapon

so.. might be looking too hard into this, but the symbol... is it appearing there floating in front of them magically, or is it more, er, symbolic?
>>78573518
Floating magically. Erin has that symbol all over the place. Conrad's also used it.. And it's on that board too.Also symbolic, because it is a symbol.

Hay guys I want to start making animations on youtube, how big is a cartoon picture? How big do you have to make the pictures I mean?
>>78574492
most people working in animation do it in vector, which has no size
>>78574557
Isn't vector super hard? What about anime what size do they use?
>>78574557
Most? Nope. Almost no one does it in vector. It's all adobe.
>>78574557
>>78574718
It'll be in traditional animation not flash, and I'm using mangastudio5 if that gives any important info
>>78574718
adobe flash. which is vector
>>78574661
this is actually a good question.
Reposting this since it was in the tail end of the last thread.
>>78575036
>>78574661
The final product is presumably 1920x1080, or at least scaled down to that. I guess the only way we can really know how large a cartoon draws is to look at their raw character models and backgrounds.. Adventure Time used to have a blog with all of those. If you looked at the images at their absolute fullest size (meaning binary art) they were absolutely fuckhuge
>>78575672
fuck yeahhh bbq pizza. i love that shit. and i love that it's avails everywhere now, not just specials and rare niche places
back in the day i used to put bbq sauce ON pizza. or sometimes ranch. shit was so cash

I have nothing really except the comic actually starting after being in production for years. Wishing everyone a great and happy new year. Drink responsibly, can't have your comics in update limbo.
>>78575701
10/10 taste my man
>>78570898
Do it however you feel most comfortable. After all, they're just lines on paper.
>>78575651
Thanks, man. It sounds cheesy as hell but there are definitely times where I need this, saved.
Happy New Year!
Not webcomic, but the General Drawthread thinks I ought to post in here.
Anyone have any tips for drawing metallic armor? I can't seem to get Felanor's armor to look right.
>>78576673
there are many better tutorials on shiny things you could easily google, but basically pick a light source, add disconnected shiny bits facing that light source, and then disconnected dark bits facing away. The fact that they're disconnected, instead of running right up to the outlines, is because even the shadowed part of a shiny-thing still has a bit of reflection from surfaces below it, lightening just that rim.. I don't know why the same goes for the lit side, but I believe it's because the light is staying reflective and isolated instead of spreading out over the surface of the thing
>>78569893
>>78576673
I'm not sure but Felanor's armor seems like it's made from shiny gold. So it supposed to reflect many different light sources (like secondary light source). Your biggest mistake is reflections don't match. It seems like chest plate, shoulder armors and leg armors have their own light sources that don't effect other parts of armor. Also chest plate looks like it's A non-shiny metal, like thor's chestplates.
I also would recommend to study some armor renderings. And most issues of conan that are colered by Dave steward are good references
>>78575673
Thanks
Doing more comic page roughs. Did a couple small alts. Which of these do you think works better?
In that middle panel, she's describing the monster who kidnapped her. Just didn't wanna write it all down for now!
But here's the first one.
>>78577159
And the second.
>>78577167
Actually thinking about it, kinda prefer the first one. The "THATS AWESOME" seems too played out, plus the "PSHH I COULD PROLLY TAKE HIM" kinda shows off Nancy's thick headed headstrong attitude better.
Writing funny scenes is hard, but I'll punch up the dialogue more.
M back! and so is my robot comic along with AI, Nina and Clara. I've decided to call this comic "Kinematic."
I'll post my drafts from time to time now, here are the first two for now.
enjoy.
(1 of 2)
>>78577311
(2 of 2)
>>78577219
>>78577159
Have to agree, the first one is the better one.
I'm noticing a pattern amongst the general artists in this thread.
A complete and utter lack of line confidence. Very bad contour control.
>>78575672
holy shit dude you went full Dorkly at the end there
http://bug-quest.tumblr.com/post/136162499200/
Finally
Man that chapter was a fuckin' mess.
Sorry about that
took too long to articulate it ending
>>78575651
Thank you so much man, always good to get that little boost to keep ya goin.
>>78577761
salute* happy new year!
>>78571964
>i need a video or any sort of visual reference of porcelain or any similar type of materials being cut into by a weapon
That's not a thing that can happen IRL. Porcelain is wayy too rigid to be cut by anything like a sword and will just crack and shatter from the impact long before the blade can cut into it.
There's plenty of reference of porcelain shattering in slo-mo on youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11gzn31BcsA
You'll notice that even with the slow motion, it shatters pretty much in an instant - IIRC that's because shockwaves travel at about 4 km per second in something that rigid.
If you want to cut something like ceramics or rock without shattering it you'll need a saw of some kind.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVHi8T1HusU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QB0CSpmPlH4
Note how much dust is released.
Hope this helps, anon, and good luck with your comic.
>>78572801
I thought it was her left arm that was only half there.
Where's the Sexyverse guy? I remember he was talking about doing massive amounts of one-cent PW advertising and getting pretty decent clickthroughs. I'm thinking of trying that for my comic.
Ms Slate disapproves of pretty much everything.
>>78579633
What a relatable character.
>>78573261
Mimi thanks you for loving her adorable face.
I'm enjoying this Bembo side comic thing in Questionable Content way too much
>>78578926
I'll fix it.
>>78580745
Dewd, you shouldn't have to fix it. You should care at least enough to get major character design details right and keep them consistent. I don't like criticizing you because that's kind of a meme but holy shit Dewd, this is a serious issue. This is worse than all your other problems.
>>78577761
Thanks man! Glad I could inspire you!
>>78577564
Dorkly? Like the humor site?
>>78575703
Posting superior .gif version
I finally have a somewhat solid and clear path to begin my story and visuals, what is a good original page format that I can use to create my canvas in Paint.sai with?
>>78569753
I need some help guys.
I'd like my pages to be, read like a normal comic page format, length longer than the width deal, I am using 3000x3850 in SAI atm.
Any suggestions, tips or page sizes?
>>78581602
My comic's pages are 2318x3857.
>>78581602
>>78581602
I had the same question once, and while there's a lot of answers, here's the template that Image Comics uses for tehir print comics, scaled for 300 DPI (11 inches by 17 inches).
I thought 300 DPI was the industry standard when I made it, but lately I'm hearing about a lot of people working at 600 or even 900 dpi. If your computer can handle it, it can't hurt.
WIP of the next page
>>78582677
Anon, try to be nice.
>>78582645
Did you fix the last page?
>>78577323
And what does one do about that?
Please cite examples.
>>78582706
Yes, yes I did.
I want to take my comic to the next level and update regularly. Also working on a short story.
I'm using tumblr right now because it's easy, but what would you guys suggest? What's the best way to monetize this?
>>78577575
this kinda improvisation aint easy
I was wondering, if you want to write a chapter, or a short story, what tricks or tips do you use to get the creative juices flowing? I sometimes use things like plot savers, but the choices are pretty random at times.
http://shadow-creator.deviantart.com/art/Plot-Savers-365745109
>>78583144
>1. Make one character find out that another is gay.
>>78583144
just look up tvtropes, try not to waste all day there
>>78580858
>you never take advice
>well taking advice isnt good enough, stop being dyslexic
some people are left-right blind dude. lots of people
>>78582989
To be honest, just stick to tumblr for now and slowly build up a fanbase. Once thats done chip in some money to get a website and after a month of traffic get ads.
Or patreon, if you want to do that.
>>78582989
>What's the best way to monetize this?
vidya memes
ads, merch and patreon if you mean money
>>78582932
Don't make that kind of mistake again, Dewd. It's so much worse than all of your other anatomy and spelling errors. If you let that page as it was originally get published, it would have shown your readers that you care so little about the comic that you can't even get major character design details right.
>>78583392
Hey man, it's alright, Mistakes happen. You don't need to get all defensive for me or whatever this is. also I got a comments section where my readers can tell me this stuff.
>>78583197
Tv tropes is fun, but like you said you can easily waste a lot of time on there. Any tips for when it comes to idea brainstorming?
>>78583543
Listen to music while you draw. It can help you shape a scene/nario and junk. Just find a fitting song to go with what you're drawing.
>>78582645
I feel like 10th panel might actually be funnier as a series of rebus images
either way though this is cute interaction
>>78583434
It shouldn't ever have to get to the point where it's on your site and your readers are telling you it's wrong. Just take your time and look at your own work with a critical eye.
>>78582918
line confidence takes practice. youve gotta start making big sweeping lines.. and that means ctrl-zing constantly
eventually I get sick of it and I frankenstein together lines I like. because I can't make good turns on this tablet. Not after years of practice
>>78583582
calm your tits, man. Everybody makes mistakes. You really think your shit don't stink?
>>78583582
just FYI, you're wrong.
You should know how to make correct criticisms of people without us having to correct you, dude. It should never get to the point of other anons having to tell you you're wrong. You're showing your fellow posters that you care so little about posting you can't even get your criticisms right.
>>78583607
>Everybody makes mistakes
Yes, and it's one of the primary goals of this thread for anons to help each other fix their mistakes, and Dewd made a really egregious mistake. Sorry that this isn't a private Skype chat where an artist's safe space is protected and "criticism" consists of nothing but compliments.
>You really think your shit don't stink?
I never said that.
>>78583619
now this is shitposting
>>78583582
I get what you're trying to say anon, but you're coming off as really autistic.
>>78583709
It's "really autistic" to hold oneself to a high standard?
>>78583709
No, but its autistic to keep on badgering on about the same criticism after the artist took it. Oh and
>hold onself to a high standard?
That, that just comes off as really snobby sounding.
>>78583872
I don't care if it sounds snobby, as a webcomic creator, you need to hold yourself to a standard higher than the audience holds you to, so you can strive to consistently exceed the expectations of your reader and constantly improve your work. That's how you ply any craft, be it art or cooking or anything in between.
>>78583925
Well I mean, yeah, its always good to try your best and junk, but you're forcing your philosophies on others man. How you think of comics and go about doing them is unique to you, don't tell others how to go about doing stuff, that's called being a dick.
I actually did something. Hooray. Time for a nap.
>>78583806
correct others' mistakes as long as you aren't guilty of them yourself
you're trying to correct THAT HE MAKES MISTAKES. you're guilty of that guaranteed.
if you're sick of correcting the same mistakes, tell him that. i'm sick of correcting the same typos, i've asked him to write down a list
>>78584141
You have to be hard on Dewd. It's the only way he'll learn.
>>78583980
Yeah try to keep this space safe and friendly. Please no bully
>>78584388
Then he should be best artist in these threads because people were hard on him.
>>78584428
We're clearly not being hard enough.
>>78583668
>help each other fix mistakes
But you're not doing that. You're just being a huge bitch.
>>78583600
I like to think I'm fairly good at that. It's cleanup on the intersections where I think I need work.
>>78584437
Are you fucking a critic? Say it!
You keep on arguing with other people instead of dewd.
>>78584588
Dewd isn't trying to argue with anyone, though.
>>78577575
About time I caught you posting here, been having trouble with your animated gifs
>>78584437
we got a politician here
>>78584933
Dewd keeps escalating his mistakes, that means we have to keep escalating our criticism.
I never knew so many people cared about Angel.
>>78585023
I don't care about Angel. I care about you.
>>78585023
Angel a shit
SD all day
>>78585034
Th-thanks.
>>78585060
Also the correct choice.
>>78585023
Dewd, Angel is the best. The Pollyanna is always the best character!Right next to Sarah of course!
>>78584978
>outright lies
yep, politician
>>78585023
well she's become less of a Drawn Together tier joke and more of a real person
>>78585321
You know, that actually makes me really happy to hear and finally think about how much my writing has improved along with my art.
>>78585263
>not noticing that you've put the character's arm on the wrong side of their body even after the page it appears on has been "finished" is not an extremely terrible mistake
>>78585366
it's not an escalation. he's been doing that from the beginning, along with drawing the wrong hands or feet on the wrong sides. he's obviously got another learning disorder, and a relatively common one
>>78585479
Well if I learned anything from the eight hours I spent reading Dewd's comic from start to finish, its that if he has a disability, we should work with it!
>>78585505
It's no disability, I make those mistakes all the time. He's just not competent at all.
>>78585479
Don't make excuses for Dewd.
Anyone else love how this went from Webcomics General to Dewd General?
>>78585732
Would you rather the thread be dead?
>>78585732
I'm pretty sure the same thing happened last thread for a little while too.
Finished this page!
uh...
something, i drew up.
>>78586794
That's an interesting spatter effect you've got on the monster's head.
Brown kid's head is looking pretty bad though - see how the super thick line around the bottom is making his face look really gaunt and skeletal? Gotta watch them line weights.
But hey, you got rid of the white dots except for that one up in the top right corner.
>>78584071
I hope you had a nice relaxing nap, because there's a spelling mistake in panel 1: it should be "taxidermy".
upcoming chapter art
>>78587338
Ok. I will fix it.
>>78587222
At first, I tired to make him mouthless. And it was a huge mistake giving him a mouth.
Here are the stats for my comic's first complete month without any advertising. We did about 2/3 of the traffic we did in November when we were advertising on several sites, which is way better than the traffic we were doing before we started advertising. By my estimation we have 2-3 times the reader base we had before the advertising started, possibly even more.
This month I'm going to do a lot of free advertising on low-view PW affiliates, see what that gives me. If I get even one click it'll be worth it because I'm not spending any money. Besides that I think I'll do some cheap PW advertising as well on more popular sites.
>>78587338
I saw that earlier but I didn't say anything because I thought it was intentional.
>>78587392
that shading is darling. from the thumbnail it looked like a soft fuzzy yoshi's story cutscene
>>78584630
I think a tumblr update just happened to have ruined everything and i don't know how to mitigate how ruined everything is
>>78588097
It was but I don't expect people to get it so I'll just change it.
>>78588407
...I got it...
>>78588407
So wait, whats the reference? Also you should keep it regardless so people like >>78588619
who got it can enjoy it!
>>78588730
Not a direct reference to anything. It's just that it's a crappy old store with weird crap and an owner that doesn't give a damn.
Guys. I learn something from art.
Did you know that drawing a "peach" can make a perfect ass/boobs? Why didn't nobody tell me about this!

Perfect boobs = two balloons
Perfect ass = Asian peach
Perfect body = uh...Disney?

Nah see the booby is also peach
>>78588232
what was mae doing last time? did she go down the left staircase or we further on?
>>78589511
Now, I wonder what is the perfect face/expressions?
My favorite face is always dotted eyes. Or this >>78584071
>>78589713
the perfect face is a pentagon!
for other features, any eyes are lovely as long as they have some nice roundness to them, and noses are best as small triangles.
>>78589511
IIRC the studies show that an 0.7 waist-hip ratio is the most popular overall.
Also that the butt should stick out at a 45 degree angle.
Of course this is all pretty academic to comic artists, since it's unlikely these stats are the same when it comes to more or less stylized art and we should probably play to our strengths and draw what we like best ourselves anyway.
But it's interesting.

naw man a fist makes a nice boxy shape, the fingers all line up into a relatively flat plane, with more nearly flat angles at nearly 90 degree angles
but fingers all intertwined.. that makes almost a quarter-circle!
>>78590703
i dont think so. lankybeth is the way to go. the lankier the better.
>>78591032
Yeah, your probably right.
>>78591276
Dewd, frontal nudity of women is NSFW.
>>78591326
I don't see a girl, only the manliest man in the series.
>>78591411
So you are 100% going on record that Annabeth is canon a guy, now and forever?
>>78591428
We'll see~
>>78591568
Commit to it right now you sneaky motherfucker.
>>78591688
Annabeth is a demiboy nonbinary fluidgender
xe/xis/xim pronouns please
>>78591907

>>78591907
Just... stop... there...., I am gonna lose all respect for you if you seriously do that... lol...
>>78591907

>>78592022
That's not the real Dewd, anon.
>>78591907
I don't even know what demi boy means, ha ha.
Well he is half something else that's for sure if that tail is any evidence.
>>78592020
That's the correct awnser.
>>78592105
>>78592022
Don't worry anons, i'm THE dewd.
>>78592022

>>78592168
What does SD stand for? Small Dick or Schlong Deity?
>>78592514
is he not scooby-doo?
>>78588232
might be the frames being too fast or something, since other gifs seem to be doing fine
Hope you saved all of the panels you didYou still have that one you animated but forgot the wings, right?
>>78592514
I don't know yet. It might just stay sd.
We'll see~
>>78588232
everything looks fine to me

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION FOR YOUR WEBCOMICS
GO
>>78594620
Honestly? ... Probably get pretty close to finishing.
>>78594620
To actually follow through and get it up and running. It's only looking half good so far.
>>78594620
Making a short story about her.
>>78594620
Consider making a crappy webcomic ... I guess?
>>78594620
Make money.
>>78594620
Is your new years resolution to undelete your Patreon?
>>78594878
Oh it's not deleted, I changed the name from "sexyverse" to "sexyversecomics" for consistency.
>>78594878
LOL!!!!
>>78594620
git gud
>>78594620
To actually post my shit and work on it, have all my ducks lined up now.
>>78594844
oh that's a cutie
I see a lot ambition in these posts. I'm pleased.
Aim high and never settle for less. Even if you never achieve it, the very drive to become better will do you more good than you can ever imagine. And who knows, you might make it big.
Only one way to find out...
>>78583600
and that means ctrl-zing constantly
No, it means putting it in your head that there is no ctrl+z, and the idea that whatever line you put down next, is there forever.
We're taking technology for granted this way. It may well be making us weaker, and I cite your post as proof of it.
>>78595558
um.. even people in physical media do sketches where they do multiple lines in pencil and even erase some, before choosing only the best one to confirm using ink
>>78595558
>people shouldn't ctrl-z
You know they're not real artists unless they're drawing mastodons on cave walls with charcoal sticks.
>>78594620
Have characters be in a loving relationship.
I hope I can actually sleep tonight. Good night hywc.
>>78596096
goodnight
>>78595615
Yes.
And you think inking is just a matter of staring at that pencil line hard enough
It's in the mind and the wrist.
>>78596096
>sleep
I'll keep warm and pull an all-nighter. G'night.
>>78596239
wh..what?
>>78596096
What kind of bed does Mimi sleep in?
>>78596616
a big elegant four-poster, pretty sure. possibly with curtains
>>78596616
A regular one. It is covered in stuffed animals. It will be in a comic soon.
I got stuck washing dishes. Of course.
>>78596674
Could it be a Mimi sleepover comic?
>>78596734
She has roomates. Technically every night is a sleepover.
WIP of the next page!
>>78597247
reverse psychology is always good
>>78572801
>>78586491
>>78597247
>Dewd just posted three pages in one thread.
You are really fast.
>>78597423
strewth. i hesitate to say it but a little slowdown time for proofreading and errorchecking in the sketch phase is, let's say, something you can afford, my good dewd.
then again nunc is also uploading at a fantastic rate, but since each comic has only a few panels, I'm okay with that
>>78597325
Yeah, but who's really playing who?
>>78597423
I'm kinda trying really hard because my buffer is SUPER low.
>>78597423
I could do the same, but I tend to choose not to. Why blow all my load here when I could make you go to my page and give me money?

MAH BOI
DEWD TOTALLY INVITE YOUR SISTER TO THESE THREADS
SHE CAN DRAW
Hi everyone! Haven't posted here in a while but the new page of Jello and Pup is out!
http://www.freakanimes.com/sugarandmemories/
>>78597841
At least someone in the family can
ba dum tss
>>78598073
>Sugar return.
I miss you...And your beautiful comics.
No homo.
>>78597841
She has been here before. she posted us some of her comic
it's good!
>>78598233
>>78598073
oh
and there she is
>>78598255
I'm right next to her, Can confirm she didn't do it.
I also can confirm she's just making one piece fanart.
Please make more Jello and Pup sis.
Thanks everyone, I'll try to be more on top of Jello and Pup.
>start a webcomic, can't get any traction, after 2 years and 0 readers just shelf it
>start another webcomic, but it's a gamer comic with cheap predictable jokes and easy-to-hashtag references, get 50 regular readers after a year
I don't feel great about myself, but getting that occasional tumblr response that shows I made someone smile kind of makes it worth it.
We need a parody HYW image for our april fools thread. I'm thinking
>over 20 pounds of pictures and text!
>>78598520
yeah that'll fucking happen
the gatling typewriter was invented when fast typists caused the ribbons on single-barrel typewriters to overheat
>>78595093
Really?
I thought nobody will like her. I trying to think up a name for her.
Finished this page!
>>78599868
She looks like a Posie to me
>>78599190
>Purple Nurplus
I don't know why I find this so funny.
>>78600329
Ikr, he's got some good ass humor quite a bit.
I think I found an easy style for that slice of life comic I'm thinking of starting.
>>78600329
I knew/hoped someone would appreciate that
>>78600386
sometimes you just gotta let your brain flow with words. Homestar taught me that.
>>78600430
definitely charming. If you practice a bit more and get your anatomy really up to snuff, this will actually serve you quite well. In particular watch out for those arm lengths. Anytime you're not sure, ask yourself if the guy could comfortably masturbate without looking like a toddler awkwardly reaching into his pants (limbs are shorter at that age)
>>78600438
It is very Homestar-esque, now that you mention it. That's actually what I thought of when I saw the "Welcome, Matt!"
>>78600430
I like it
>>78600452
Thanks. And I'll keep that in mind. I usually don't have too much trouble with anatomy, but I can always be better.
I think once I get used to drawing in this style proportions will start to improve.
>>78600469
I'm glad you like it.
>>78600469
Yeah that one was.. that was a clusterfuck of meta, because I had previously referenced the monster maskus (it was just the placeholder I had in my head so I went 'fuckit, use that'), THEN went ahead and pointed it out because I realized it was odd for her to just have a mask and just explaining it was all I could think of, THEN the 'welcome, matt' coming to mind automatically.. as did 'weclome', being another homestarism.. and so fuckit I am saying that mat is talking to Matt Chapman and thanking him for the influence
for something I do because I can do it without thinking, I do end up thinking a lot. But I only think about how much thinking I did when someone brings it up, which is why these threads are amazing and great
>>78599190
>ketchup packets
God dammit how are you so good at these nonsense words I manage to laugh at.
Bumparoo.
