Hello! Due to recent need to see a vet, and the fact I am starving, I have raised my prices to better reflect the time now spent on them.
I got rent coming up, no call backs from jobs, and 2 lizards suddenly having digestion issues, so please if you can, reblog this post? I think some parasites snuck in on the last delivery of feeder insects. I’m worried.
Costs 75-80$ per pet just for the visit, and that again each for a parasite test. I’m going to try to find a vet that does the actual test in-house which should bring the cost down to 25ish range plus the 75$ fee.
Thanks for listening. <3 Please reblog.

I need to save up more money. Sterling has decided not to eat at all today. I need to get him to a vet ASAP : /
I need rent too.. and that unfortunately must come first cause.. it’s his home too.. but.. gaaah. If something is gonna happen to a pet it will happen when you are at your most poor. -_-
Please reblog <3
He ate a tiny bit today. Dunno if this is being caused by weird hours or parasites. Still needs to go to the vet for a checkup and fecal exam (~150$), but atm we critically need rent (410-ish more bucks).
Conclusion: Voldemort was the most useless, magic dependant wizard that ever existed. He could have lived till like 200 if he just ate well and exercised, but no he had to go and split up his soul and ruin perfectly good jewellery, fucking dumbass.
this sounds like it was written by hermione granger at 1 am
He tried to use an advanced death magic spell to kill a baby. He literally doesn’t know how to do anything without magic. Just drop it out a window my dude, babies are so delicate
So what you’re trying to say is that women people prefer well-drawn pictures of their favorite superheroes over really shitty indie comics about boobs?
Sounds right.
Are we supposed to feel sorry for the person whose humor comic featuring a disembodied pair of breasts on the cover is getting passed over?
Incredible.
this feels like it should be a parody but it isnt and that’s hilarious
maybe try not being sexist unfunny douchelords next time
HEY, WE DO A HUMOR COMIC ABOUT [SOMETHING THAT LOOKS EXTREMELY SEXIST] HEY WHERE ARE YOU GOING
No, no way is this a serious complaint (I said to myself). No one’s that un-self aware. This has got to be a parody about gross “indie” comics skeeving up the con atmosphere, and the schadenfreude we’re totally intended to feel at their failure.
So I went to the OP’s tumblr to check context and.
This was just supposed to be a comic about how hard it can be for the unknowns to find their audience. Anything else you see is your own interpretation of the page.
They are serious.
That is more hilarious than any punchline actually in the comic. I’m honestly crying with laughter right now.
wow cry me a THOUSAND tears about how hard it is for white men to get into the comics industry by drawing tits
I can think of very few female comic readers who wouldn’t choose the Green Lantern image over a comic with nothing but boobs on the cover 😛 If the OP wants female fans as their target audience, they need to make some changes or expect not to get any of their money.
Oh god… he edited the original post to “Apologies to anyone offended by the cover.” … Not “Apologies, I made a really gross and alienating statement.” He does this in another post, as well trying to justify it all. /facedesk
Wow, this is a perfect example of the creative blind spots I’ve been talking about. This comic was not intended to be satire. The OP completely missed the significance of having just a pair of boobs on a magazine cover and its effect on a female audience. In the OP’s own words:
“In the original script I said there was a comic being held up without specifying what was on it, so Paul just drew a pair of breasts and I put the page up because at the time I saw nothing wrong with it, and when I put it on tumblr, the unfortunate implications never crossed my mind until they were pointed out to me.”
There was no sexist intent behind this comic (or clever expose of sexism), but this clearly illustrates how so much offensive content gets released in comics, games, and other media. It looks okay to the people making it.
This is why we need women, PoC, and LGBT people in industries that are dominated by one POV. We need to start viewing content through more than one lens.
Complete and uncensored, the reason many people take issue with the comics world (and other media dominated by homogenous culture). Straight from the horse’s mouth, unintentionally.
I had to read that comic three times to believe it.
