I hate working on random arts when I don't have a muse. Things don't feel right when I'm not inspired to do something, but I now realize that I'm tricking myself into feeling obligated in order to do something I enjoy.

Is this...is this what an epiphany is supposed to feel like?

I take it back. My mom wants to climb into bed with me and cuddle. Just in case you're wondering, she's not kidding.

>>267928
I've noticed a lot of artists will do work based on their respective "writers' blocks". Perhaps you've already gone down that route based on your image.

>>267930
That's fucking weird and awkward and wtf

>>267931
Yeah. They're visiting from San Francisco. We're at a timeshare near my apartment. I have my own room and my own bed here... well... if I can fight to make sure it stays that way. I'm threatening ditching them and going home if she keeps up these shenanigans.

tl;dr wtf

that actually sounds not too awful, but i'm concerned that asking for further details would just remind me of my own personal horrors.

Dude, my mom is so soft and warm and wet inside. As soon as I came, I just stayed put for a second, and the tightness of her vagina made me hard again!

Does this ever happen with you guys and your moms?

>>267943

Well, we've got a big house, and my room is way on the other side from where my parents sleep, and it's next to a cul-de-sac where drug deals occur, and we've been shot at least once, so between that and my PTSD from my lovely stay in Europe I'm too chickenshit to sleep all by myself. My dad sleeps with my little brother (bro has the Downs), and mom's bed is a King size and we both keep to our own side, so it's tolerable.

>>267945
OH YEAH IT'S SO GOOD OMG SOMETIMES I LIKE TO INVITE MY DAD TO WATCH BUT HE'S ALWAYS LIKE
"HOW'S THAT MOMMY VAGINA SON? NOTHING YOU HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE AMIRITE."

AND I'M ALL, "JEEZ DAD, DON'T GO MAKING BIRTHING JOKES WHEN I'M FUCKING YOUR WIFE OKAY? THAT'S JUST GROSS."

AND THEN WE ALL LAUGH.

I'm gonna cut you so bad, you're gonna wish I didn't cut you so bad, Trevor.

>>267946
Awful, but a completely different kind of awful. More "I could die from drug related violence" awful.

This week in "I Hate My Best Friend":

I feel like I'm being emotionally blackmailed. A simple argument about fanshit escalated into her telling me all this horrible shit going on in her life (including, holy shit, a lump on her breast or something?) Apparently, she didn't tell me this shit because I told her once I was tired of hearing her bitch about how "horrible" her desk job that pays great is. So now I'm the bad friend and I didn't know my friend was suffering or some shit.

I honestly feel, like I said before, like I'm being seriously emotionally manipulated. She holds on to things, all my wrongdoings, until we have our monthly screaming match, and then she hauls all that shit out like "these are the things you have done but I'm not calling you the bad guy really."

Now here's the thing: I'm at the end of my rope and I want to drop her like a shit sandwich but... does it make me look like a chickenshit? For bailing on her when it seems like things are really that bad?

I hate feeling like this. someone please help me oh jesus

>>267948

Meh, I blame the government.

The hell is going on here.

>>267950
she sounds like she has one other chronic problem. she likes to drag you down with her. the only thing i can say is terrible and something you already know. you can't hold yourself responsible for her life. :\

>>267950

You ARE being emotionally blackmailed, Nurse. If you "bail," you are being the better person by cutting off ties with her cleanly instead of making your situation worse. I cannot state this any plainer than by saying, "You have finally discovered that the only reason you are still BFFs with her is because she knows too much."

>>267950
You can both afford to be nicer to each other.

Honestly, break it all down. In the midst of arguing about nerd crap, she breaks down and tells you about all of the terrible things going on in her life, which she apparently neglected to mention out of a combination of social anxiety and passive aggression that was kick-started by the fact that you went off on her about complaining about something she has and you wish you had.

You don't need to end the friendship over this. Hell, if one of you just stopped and said sorry, all of this would get cleared up in a jiffy.

>>267955
Moe, first off, I don't want her job. I want her paycheck, maybe, but I don't want her cubicle farm job. I understand that work sucks, but for months, it was all she would bitch about endlessly. It was to the point that we couldn't have normal conversations.

And it's always like this. She doesn't want to change her life, but she can't stand it. She doesn't drive and won't get her license. Her boyfriend is just as passive aggressive as her with the added bonus of being completely emotionally unavailable. I get to hear how horrible he is, but she won't leave him, nevermind she actually could support herself if she tried. She is stuck, completely, in fandom and uses it like some sort of insane security blanket.

And then there's the shit she pulls on me. Just tonight for the hour or so we talked, she said "I think I want to take a break from the internet." Okay, cool. You spend a lot of time on it and I know you're always telling me you don't nearly play enough video games any more. "But oh haha then everyone on the internet would forget me." It's just the internet. "All my friends are on the internet." Then restrict yourself to a few days a week. Get on every other day or something. "Then we wouldn't be able to talk." We have phones and I live twenty minutes away from you. We'd still see each other.

And then she says stuff like that, especially the "haha then everyone would forget me" shit, after we have fights, like some sort of threat. Like "oh we won't talk anymore how sad." And more and more, I just. Don't. Care. I don't want to turn this into a "she's so horrible and I'm a saint" because I'm not, but I want you to understand that she is actually making me insane. She has the capacity to kill my happiness. This is not a healthy relationship and the people who know me and her IRL have told me this before.

Maybe we could apologize to each other and fix this shit, but I don't want to anymore. We do this song and dance almost monthly and it is to the point that I just can't care any more. My capacity for giving a shit is gone. It's the "getting away" that I don't know how to do.

>>267958
Can't you just distance yourself from her? Don't respond to her messages for a while or pick up her calls. Just tell her you were busy or "forget" your phone at home or in another room. Hang out with other people, stay busy. Eventually she'll go looking somewhere else to vent.

>Remove a bunch of people on Facebook.
>Most of them are hypocritical irl friends who give me nothing but grief.

Well, they told me to grow up and stop complaining.

>Quite
>to a degree (not used with a negative); "quite tasty"; "quite soon"; "quite ill"; "quite rich"

>Quiet
>free of noise or uproar; or making little if any sound; "a quiet audience at the concert"; "the room was dark and quiet"

IT'S NOT HARD.

I finally hit Rock Bottom and now I'm already starting to feel a bit better.

But on that note, I'm putting the internet on the backburner. I need to take some time to chill the fuck out, stop being so fucking stupid, get over myself, and grow up a bit.

There's a new guy at my workplace who looks exactly like Sneaky Tiki. After three weeks he got fired for sexual harrassment.

>>267958

I'd drop her, honestly. I don't know all the subtleties of your situation, but I'm a firm believer that relationships should GIVE you energy and be positive, not this toxic mess that seems to emotionally drain you. She sounds like the kind of person I would avoid completely. And, if I was going to break it off, I'd make it very clear, none of this ignoring or avoiding pussyfooting around that just drags it out.

/baw/ sure is a magical place

>>267060
Of course! :3

>>267984
Take care, Snarf.
>>267958
A person who feels no agency will always look for people to save them instead of just stepping back and realizing that they can fix things themselves. Sometimes they just need to remove some of the layers from their lives to see what it is they can accomplish and where they stand.

Feel free to step back from her, Nurse. If you do, let her know why, both for her and for yourself, and put your foot down.

Hey, it's the animation industry! Dicks is, in animation you don't get overtime. I feel shit sorry for the animators on the show I'm on right now, because they expect an episode a week, and they want 3-weeks worth of quality in it. When they're fast enough, the work's not up to snuff and when they're good enough it misses all the deadlines. There is a note at work that literally says the same thing - you guys are still too slow, there are extra computers at night and we expect you to come in every weekend and don't even think of taking that long weekend off.
I don't know how much the animators are making, but it can't be any more than the average, which is 700-800/week. The kicker is, if they hire more animators to speed things up, then more frames would have to get passed around, and since animators are paid by the frame that means everyone makes less money.
I'm so glad I'm salary, for however long this'll last.

Damn you internet.
Over the weekend I became a big ol' fanboy of AKB48. Now I have tons of episodes of there shows and no one is/or has been funsubbing most of their stuff.

  Thanks for taking all my money again, Local Instrument Store.
No really, thanks. Nostalgia: the Keyboard is totally worth all my fun-money for the month

Hey, what store did you go to? I need to purchase a guitar soon.
