  • Their hand quivers, and they can feel their legs shake, “Maybe this is the time” they think to themselves, if they can find the courage that is.
    Maybe it will end like a meet-cute and the future love their life will get out their car and help them out and pick them up and send them on a glorious adventure.
    Or maybe it will just sever their spine and it will be over.
    But! The driver will remember them and their face for the rest of their life, their death having given meaning to their existence as the driver will go on to travel the world and have the adventure of a lifetime in response to this random stranger they collided with. Knowing that even if its not personally lived but that the adventure was had by their presence…

    But their daydreams are snapped out by the sound of a car horn and the engine roaring past.
    The moment is gone but the heart still flutters and the adrenaline pumps through their veins, less than the first time they thought about this but enough to still feel the rush of life they don’t live. “There is always the next car,” they think, “maybe, this time I will try yelling at them.”




  • Hey hey hey, the only appropriate brainrot echo chamber I believe in is the inside of my own empty head.

    Anyways, better! Much better. I thought there was an exclamation above the TV man’s head when he interjected but I think thats just background chair shenanigans? Try to keep your main focus points clean. It feels like out atlantian is standing in front of him rather than sitting at the table.

    Do you ever wireframe with stick figures first?



  • Meh, just cause someone tried to do something nice for us doesnt mean the outcome actually was. We can keep adjusting and trying find what actually is good for people as a whole instead of free of effort.

    I don’t know but I don’t think its bad to have the opinion of the recipient as well, and its not like every day was a horror for them anymore than it is for ours. It ebbs and flows but if we made a wrong turn we can do our part to correct it.

    To a horrifying degree, work does define the human experience. Removing it isn’t lucky but a part of who we are being removed and I the name of a nameless idea’s of perfection. And I think its realism not pessimism to recognize that.






  • Yup, but being a parent doesnt make you know things and “the doctor said we should expect this” makes apparently people (at least these ones close to me) complacent to the harm. I am just against the suffering and it makes me upset. While I know this isn’t a likely common story its one that is close to home and happening so… Yeah. I dunno. It does at least once. I am happy you are on the right side of empathy to try again with something new to help someone. There should never be 1 answer only and it feels wrong to just accept it.
    I dunno this is such a failure of people with authority in my case but authority figure doesnt mean all knowing. And I have no authority to make it stop.
