We had avoided fake plants for so long because it felt unsettling. Like keeping mannequins around because you have no friends.

But now we have to face facts. We don't have any plant friends. We've driven them all away with our negligence. Now we have pretend plant friends.

Today marks the day that my husband and I conceded that keeping real house plants was too much of an emotional burden for us.

We have now doubled down on their plastic brethren.

My perception of the weather always lags a couple days behind reality and it was hella hot earlier this week so now I'm waking outside in the rain with no jacket or umbrella like

Me: Brain! Give me an idea!

Brain: Here is some slightly misremembered information that we've seen somewhere before but forgot about, making it feel completely original.

Me: Excellent!

@KayPengwin to be fair, I'm working a comic script so scene descriptor words don't *really* matter here, I'm just falling down a rabbit hole like usual.

I'm writing and I want to compare something to the size of a commercial airplane factory, but then I realized that most people don't grow up around a commercial airplane factory. <<;

And 'twice as big as a commercial airplane hangar' doesn't quite have the same ring.

I should probably come up with a better name for my LAN. "My WiFu" was great for embarrassing my kids when their friends came over, but the tables turn when it's *your* mom asking for the wifi. 😳

Every time I use my weather app and see stars in the nighttime icon, I think they're sparkles ✨ and spend a couple seconds trying to figure out what type of weather is characterized by magic sparkles.

A scribbly stretch from last night's drink and draw.

The correct answer is: spicy party or go home! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘

("But I am home." Is also an acceptable response.)

Tag urself! Are you a party, a fun time party, or a spicy party?

Wow I'm glad Sally's Beauty supply is open till 9pm. I didn't think I'd need to buy hair dying supplies at odd hours of the day, but here I am.

@KayPengwin On one hand, I don't expect a huge Indian readership, but at the same time, Japanese mangaka don't expect English readers either.

Found a cool name I want to use for one of the gods in Witch of Dezina. Only problem is that it's a legit normal name in India, so if I don't change it up somehow I might as well be introducing these immortal beings as Kevin and George.

Could someone write an article saying that eating chocolate aids in writing?
I need to justify eating chocolate chips while I work. :V

I wanted to write stats for the characters in Witch of Dezina but it got goofy pretty fast.

So far I've got a level 30 Student and a level 17 Pencil Pusher. You go guys. 😎👍

I keep forgetting that if I don't want to write & draw a scene because it's super minor, I can still make it "happen" by referencing it in dialog.

I need to get that tattooed onto my hand, like "FOR CHRISTSAKE YOU DON'T NEED TO SHOW EVERYTHING"

I'm sure there were a million productive things I could have done last Friday, but instead I coerced my peers at the #SICAGA coffee draw Meetup to challenge me into drawing as many silly boots as I could.

Had some fun planning a chase scene in story board style. It felt good to figure out the key panels I'd need to tell the scene.

(Also I'm a derp who forgot to post this for over a week 😛)
