Anonymous asked: you're not going to deactivate the askblog, are you?

Nah, it’ll stay as it is. I’m happy with what I posted on the blog, I just think it’s time to move on, is all.

Like a sort of update-whenever-you-want webcomic that gets influenced on occasion by asks? Like an adventure blog kind of thing? Idk, sounds interesting, whatever you end up with.

I don’t want to give too much away before I get organized! Honestly, I’ve had an idea for a HS fan project since sometime last year that I never really put into motion, and this seems like a good chance to work with it.

I’m not sure if webcomic is a good word for it? More like a collection of situations in which characters I love are loving assholes to each other and also if people want they can ask questions and they’ll be answered.

much like hannah montanna, i want the best of both worlds

I’m thinking about retiring/putting askthedouchefin on indefinite hiatus? It was fun for awhile but I don’t think the whole “askblog” format really works for me, considering how little time I have these days for my art and the level of work I’d prefer to be producing. I always try to push myself to try new things and go in new directions with what I do, and I feel like putting all of my time and effort into the askblog format - focusing on one character, one design, one palette, one background style, etc, is becoming very stagnating for me.

I’d like to work towards something new, a sideblog project that combines the whole “ask a character” aspect with stand-alone illustrations, comics and stories centered around a central idea. Something in-between an askblog and an artblog. It’d be less focused on any single character and more just a dumb playground, which is a better fit for me personally, I think.

Just sort of thinking out loud, something needs to change and it needs to involve less one character grumping all the time and more entire groups of characters being assholes to each other.

Anonymous asked: Your gorgeous Homestuck fanart depicting John in front of a stained-glass window of trolls just showed up on my dash, and /wow/. It's so amazing. Would you mind in any way if I wrote a fanfic based on what you theorized in your comments?

Thank you! Go for it, but be sure to point me in the direction of whatever you write when you’re done, since it’d be cool to see what you come up with.

i know decade-based homestuck aus are done to death

and i know this will age me horribly

but i can’t stop laughing thinking about 90s stuck

imagine trying to play sburb on a 56k modem and aol

I live in Texas, meaning that there’s a sizable Hispanic population in and out of the hospital. Oftentimes, we have to give our instructions for exams in Spanish rather than English, since not everyone who comes in for treatment understands English. This isn’t a big deal, since usually you don’t need to be fluent to explain things - most people just memorize a series of instructions in Spanish. Thing is, when there’s a bunch of non-Spanish speaking people assigned to an area, translation errors tend to occur.

A generic set of instructions is “no respire, no meuve,” or “don’t breathe, don’t move.”

I caught someone today telling a patient “no respire, y no meurte.”

“Don’t breathe, and don’t die.”
