Your latest comic's second panel is really, really well done. I've been drawing for a long time and am sort of jealous of the clean lines, the 3/4 view of PK, and the computer--putting things in that perspective is much more interesting than front or side view. And the fourth panel has really well done letters. My own handwritten text I can never make look like a font. Your skills elsewhere will help you in drawing so much, I think!

ahaha geez thank you

i’ve been trying to avoid front/side views all the time, but wow that’s hard!  i had no idea what i was doing in panel 2 but it actually did come out pretty alright

yeah gosh thanks idk

Hello, not sure if this is the right place to ask this but, the second part of Itchy Itchy won't load for me, which is weird because the first part loads every time. Meanwhile, the second part doesn't even seem to try to load. I don't get the "transferring data from..." thingy like with the first, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Seems to work fine for other people though. I've tried refreshing and turning off adblock but neither has worked. What should I do? ~DarthRevanFTW

if it’s the same problem a couple other people have run into, clearing your cache might help.  no idea why!  doesn’t make any damn sense.  still trying to figure out what’s going on.

how much did you and mel pay for your sphinxes? i want a kitten of my own and i've been trying to cross reference prices for a while. i've been finding prices anywhere between $600 and $3000 and i just wanted to know if that's normal or not

i think they were all between $1000 and $1500

I saw this from one of the SU crew (writer ben levin) "Even though we deal with a lot of continuity on the show, we still try to mix things up and stretch the boundaries of what an episode of Steven Universe can be. Sometimes it’s a daydream fantasy, like in Garnet’s Universe. Sometimes it’s a magical sitcom, like in Fusion Cuisine. And sometime’s it’s a star-crossed space musical, like in Jailbreak. Is that a genre? It should be." and was reminded of you

i don’t know why anyone thought the world needed more sitcom

My family is really f*ed up. My brother somehow "forgets" events and rewrites them after they happen. Same with my dad, but towards my mom. its REALLY common for abusers to put all the blame on the victim, and people should be more aware of that. its hard sometimes if you're like me and have a hard time deciphering stuff but. this is a tactic used by people to silence victims and im sorry that people are attacking PK on a word and won't listen to their (their, right?) side of the story.

i think people are aware of that but they still believe the first thing they read, so they’ve accused mel of doing it to pengo lol

but yeah that’s something mel’s mom did to her all the time when she was a kid; just completely rewrite history to make it out like mel was actively out to get her.  over the course of years.  same thing pengo is doing in his callout.  that’s what gaslighting looks like, and it’s seriously fucked up; it’s not all this pissing and moaning about “wahh you told pengo he’s wrong because he’s actually wrong”

and it works!  because it’s surprisingly difficult to believe that other people, even complete strangers, aren’t telling us the truth.  even if it’s not deliberate.  we trust everyone to be genuine about their experiences.

people hear pengo first, assume he’s relaying events correctly, assume mel is thus a villain with a twirly moustache, and conclude that anything she does is not to be trusted.  but why?  there’s no good reason.  it’s really just two people telling different versions of events.  but you hear one first, you assume the speaker is pure and flawless by default, and that sticks harder than any amount of rock-solid evidence to the contrary.

(there are rather a lot of parallels here to whatever other inexplicable conspiracy theory you care to name, like anti-vaxxers.  they heard a thing from someone they felt they ought to trust, and they built up a framework of iffy other stuff around it, and now no amount of fact will contradict them.  and they try to distract the issue into other things like whether parents should have the right to decide to vaccinate their kids, because it lets them avoid examining whether they’re actually wrong, etc.)

UHH anyway sorry you have to deal with that crap damn.  we kinda lucked out having most of this happen online where it was logged, but as you can see, having a literal record of what actually happened doesn’t always help either!  so i hope you can just get outta there as soon as possible  :(

hey lexy im going to make a tumblr account to specifically be on PK's side-- I know this is cowardly but I do want this account to be anon for the time being-- I do eventually want to come out publically, but since I'm too scared AND pissed off I want to make an anon blog now-- can people figure out my main account if I reblog from them? or just by looking at my page?

in theory there’s supposed to be no obvious public link between a side blog and the main blog

there are always tells, which i will not list because i don’t want to give anyone ideas, but i don’t think the current batch of anons are dedicated or clever enough to bother hunting down the owner of a side blog.  there’s not even any clear indication that a particular blog is a side blog, except that it can never like anything, because likes are always attributed to your main

How can Pengo straight up ignore what he's started? He's just doing his thing as if he didn't unleash a shit storm that had potential to ruin people's lives. I can't comprehend it. I'm an objective viewer and I've read all the things, I love PK and how strong she's been and you've been awesomely supportive. I don't dislike Pengo either, I'm just majorly confused by his behavior in this entire thing.

well i mean it took him 14 months to decide to respond to mel’s rant, which i think he said he didn’t directly read anyway, and then another month to actually write his response

i don’t think he handles confrontation well

What keeps you on tumblr? This is a terrible site that goes out of its way to make conversation as awkward as possible. It clearly values form over function and has the judgiest community I have ever seen. You can not handle this since suicide has been on the table. So what keeps you on tumblr? What makes this site worth all of this and how exactly is it more worthwhile than, say, furaffinity?

there’s a lot of porn here

i wish i could show my support without people blindly hating me?? i know thats selfish but

every person showing support makes the blind hate a little less fashionable

i totally understand though, don’t get involved if you can’t deal with the fallout for whatever reason

People are seriously making a bunch of stuff up about Pk and/or making a huge deal about things. For example, Pk is a horrible person for drawing certain kinds of porn. ???

oh yeah a couple weeks ago i saw an anon tell someone that mel was transmisogynous, which is…  completely baffling, and news to me

also various accusations that she sent people to make rape threats (there were no rape threats) or threatened to doxx pengo (this did not happen)

people are happy to just outright make stuff up.  and why not, it’s not like anything bad will happen to them for lying

It isn't fair, but it's kind of like the people sending mean asks to PK and their followers. They abuse to punish abuse. The logic feels the same. If you don't think it's a good thing to do, don't do it, you know? Believe me, my family and I have been attacked by lies like this before, so I know how it eats you. But you have to accept what you can't change, mourn your old life and move on.. Rip off the band-aid sooner to make it easier, imo. Anyway, I hope things get better for you and PK soon.

i’m not seeking to abuse anyone; i’m genuinely dying to know what these people actually think mel’s sin was.  because nobody actually discusses it; they just pass on the summary, “pk is an abuser”.  or they link the callout, which i remain convinced few people have even read.  if anyone even hints at what she did wrong, it’s something she did in reaction to pengo’s callout — some behavior that’s only abusive if she was actually guilty of abuse in the first place.

i’m having a really hard time understanding how there can be a lot of people who are absolutely confident someone is abusive, without being to name a single abusive thing they’ve done.  that doesn’t rely on circular reasoning, anyway.

i’m not actively looking for trouble any more at least.  i have been barred from searching tumblr.  everyone i talked at today was either linked to me or in the notes on mel’s posts.  wow that’s a lot of people  :(

Is tumblr even worth being popular on anymore? Does it even help business? I'm reaching the conclusion where all it does is make you an open target for ridicule if even one crummy thing from your past comes up. DeviantArt has it's drama but FUCK nothing like this...

tumblr is better than anything else at spreading stuff

just, uh, not always the right stuff

but it still works well for neat artwork; e.g. the comic on polarized thinking has 20k notes
