Rip is she crying with mascara on or something that makes her cry black glop idk
Idk their vibe kinda gives me the "Partners in Crime" vibe but that song has a romantic thing going on so like uh no
Also your timing with this hypothetical(?) AU just keeps making me think of that song that kinda made me think would better fit your characters in the more literal sense than mine
I read "got away with something" as "get away with mommy" and idk anymore that sounds creepy though considering her age ngl
Did you intend to make the last panel like 👁👄👁
Also for the crying panel I saw it with like the comic face-up-at-90-degree-angle with two tear fountains and I probably made it even funnier than it was intended to be(?)
The confused/scared one looks more psychotic, is that like her defense mechanism? I'm guessing that wasn't your intention but maybe when she's confused/scared she tries to look scarier as a defense mechanism
I make no sense lol

It makes her tears black lol she has to reapply her makeup all the time
Partners in Crime but it's platonic and probably see each other as siblings
XD idk what this AU is but it exists now
1jjdjwjfjwjdkkwle that is def creepy
Yee, I did kinda. I mostly wanted to make her look cat-like with her expression
I mean, that's what the panel is suppose to be XD did I make the tear fountains wrong?
I like the idea of the face being a defense mechanism, but basically what it's suppose to be is that when she's super stressed from fear, her brain clicks off and she dissociates in a way that her brain forces her to forget who she is, who everyone else is, and where's she's at, which causes her extreme confusion. In a way it's a coping mechanism her brain forces onto her (idk if there is a name for this type of dissociation, but it's def not DID or maladaptive daydreaming, but tbh it's kinda similar to DID), but tbh I can see the face also being her brain forcing her to look scarier to scare off whatever is making her scared/stressed
Idk you makes sense to me so
Offline
It's probs kinda bad that I know way too much about dissociation lol
Offline
Not really (about dissociation), you have a character with it so like,,, research is good
Lol we'd need a new version of "Partners in Crime" for that. I haven't heard of many songs with sibling relationships being the exclusive topic tbh
I'm sorry, to be honest I saw the fountains as a napkin,,, again I'm sorry lol
Btw Specter and I aren't fighting or anything like that, I'm just not responding to chat threads with them in it because their IRL friends find it prudent to ignore their messages, so I'm trying to see how that'd work online. The quintessential goal is for them to realize real friends don't ignore messages for long periods of time, but I think it's instead becoming more of me pounding that viewpoint more into myself idk. Would you be able to tolerate friends not responding to messages while being online? Because personally I can't tolerate that sort of thing. Am I being petty in terms of that opinion too?

I have multiple characters with it, actually, so I guess it's good. Also the fact that I experience it also is a pretty big reason why I had to research it lol. Also is probably the reason why so many of my ICs have a form of it
Hwhxhajf time for me to write it then I guess lol. Qhfhjskfk NAPKINS????
I personally have abandonment issues (working on Not tho) and literally earlier you were taking a long time to reply and then you left the website and my immediate reaction was a lot of Negative Thoughts towards myself because Anxiety and I literally sat there and wondered if I offended you somehow or if I was being annoying so you just left. So, no, I would not handle it and in fact my mental state depends on constant attention from my friends or else my Brain, being stupid because of Genetics (stupid serotonin receptors), immediate reaction is "Well, Guess We Have To Die Then" or "Oh My Gods I'm A Terrible Person"
Tbh in a way, imo of course, think it's kinda Not Good for you to ignore/do this to Specter because in long term it could effect their mental health in some sort of way, especially if they aren't recieving interaction from RL friends and rely on us for platonic interaction. That's imo tho and also coming from my Stupid Not Functioning Correctly Brain
Offline
Also if I was being ignored, my own mental state would deteriorate very quickly, as seen from my example of earlier. Idk how Specter's brain works tho so I can't really estimate on how it would effect them, so I could just be miscalculating on how being ignored can effect them. Imo tho, they would probs get really upset and this could probs hurt your relationship with them, possibly adding in a sense of mistrust
Offline
Yee napkins
Well, sorry, but in all honesty, I can't really not do things like that because I had kept the tab open in case I forgot to respond, but I did a final and had to close the tab in case teachers think I'm cheating via the thread. Also, I had been working on math before and stressing over what to reply while doing problems turns out to be pretty stressful. In addition, not to accuse you of anything, but between responses, you also came on for a while and then dropped off, making me worry that I'd said something offending. Like I've said before, I can't really relate to clinical anxiety and depression, but for once I can actually say that I do have anxiety on some level and fears of abandonment (not genetic, experience-oriented lol fun). So although my way of coping with it is probably different, it's to just think about all the irrational fears for a bit while not letting them run wild before thinking of the more logical reasons. Like, y'know, instead of thinking "Galaxian is ignoring me because they hate me," think "Galaxian is big stupid and can't think about what to respond when they have schoolwork to do." Et cetera.
Now onto the thing for Specter. Well, for one, I want to say that I've been responding to literally all types of threads where I'm supposed to be active on other than chat threads. Two, it's not like I'll "ignore" them, on chat threads, forever. Three, going on with number two, I actually told them I'd be not responding to their chat thread for a little while, which means that I have until whenever the unofficial end of school is for me to sort out some of my thoughts and then respond. And by the way, I told them and they were apparently okay with it, so uh, yeah, I might be terrible, but I'm not that terrible. Terrible in a considerate way? I dunno. One one end, the terribleness is for sorting out my own emotions and such. You know I'm not the type to put others' feelings completely over mine. But, on the other hand, in the long term I hope they self-reflect as well? Because being okay with a couple of bad friends because they don't really have other ways to make friends (and/or don't want to make new friends) isn't healthy. Tying in with the long-term effect you mentioned earlier, I feel like my impact is overall lesser than people they know in real life. So essentially I hope that this short-term period of intended self-reflection will be better than them being hurt in the long term by others, who I can't control. Obviously I'm no angel or anything close to one, but I don't really do things out of sheer pettiness. I know this probably isn't the best way to go about it, far from the "best," in fact, but other ways haven't worked and hasn't worked, and I guess this is one of those last attempts I do before I listen to my mom's experiences and just disassociate myself with what the ramifications of their choices may be.

Okay, with the Specter thing, the way you worded it made me think that you just weren't replying to them in general lol, like you didn't warn them or they knew anything about it. I thought you meant like your just Stopped talking to them lol. I mean, if they know and are okay with it, I think it should be fine. You should have started off by saying you told them you wouldn't reply lol
Offline
In my defense, I thought you would've seen how many times I've responded to threads where they talked xDD. Also do note I said "chat threads" in the post, not "threads" in general :-P. In general, I was just asking you to try to get you to not panic if you thought I wasn't responding to chat threads with them on it and also to try to gauge if you and I are in agreement for what friends should do and shouldn't do, though for the first goal I can see I probably squandered it lol, sorry

GUVE ME A MOMENT TO REPLY BECAUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF TYPING TEH PIWER WENT OUT AND I HAD TO SWITCH PHONES
Offline
Lol firstly, I am dense as heck and extremely stupid, you have to be super specific for me to understand anything
Okay, what I was typing before tHE POWER WENT OUT AND IT IS STILL OUT WTH IS HAPPENING
Ope, I think whenever I dropped out of the website was that I was at school and either had passing period or moments in class/a class in which I couldn't have my phone out. At home I either a) Lost my phone for the millionth time and gave up looking, or B) a family member came too close and I had to exit out of the website because, you know, strict social media standards lol
Bold of you to assume I can and will control my thoughts and not immediately assume "Oh gods I screwed up" in any and all situations

Why is power out, it is too hot for this crap

Good thing about me being out of school now is that I can irritate the heck out of you and Spec talk to you and Spec more often lol

Just saying this ahead of time--I can't say with 100% certainty I'll be free all the time in summer, since I'll be writing and drawing and might be taking a class lol, idk. Also I sleep for like 70% of the day so
And time to get a fly swatter or smthn
I don't have an AC either, but I can open windows. I'm not familiar with the layout of your house if I was familiar then you would've been terrified but can you do that? I also don't know the weather where you are so lol
Also just remember to be grateful that those are flies, not (female) mosquitoes (:

Yeah, most of my reactions are just me being absolutely stupid lol Stupid Brain
Yea, I'll also be taking a class and I usually sleep til afternoon oof lol
The flies are small, kinda like gnats but a little bigger? Idk lol, also we don't have a fly swatter, sadly
I can't because A) Mosquitoes (my mom has had me open windows the last week tho and now I am covered in bites an I am in constant itchy and pain) and B) Kinda raining C) Brings more bug in in general. We don't have those net screens in out windows because House Old

Also thank you for reminding me of my bug bites, I am in Pain

You're very welcome, I take it as you don't have magic Chinese anti-itch ointments either (;
Was your house built before the 1970's or during those times? If so be really careful, there might be lead on the window panes/paint and stuff. And asbestos. And other nasty stuff yay.

The most I have to be careful of it the floor cause there are rusty staples lmao I have a ruh over my floor tho in my room cause I got tired of stepping on the hardwood floor and feeling the bumps nearly cut my foot lol I should wear shoes or at least socks but doing that is too uncomfy

Also when we first moved in I cut my hand on some wood lmao that was Painful but we got the wood fixed somehow idr tbh, also we fixed up the house a lot so I mean, it DEF could be worse lmao. The house isn't too bad tbh
Offline
My house is older then lol
Idk maybe you guys should get a carpet. Then again I don't really like carpets myself lol, past experiences ig
Just wear slippers. Like, bunny slippers. I guess you'd have to buy them but I mean what better way to show your pronouns implicitly while being able to deny it if someone you don't want to know does guess xD

Okay, so looking up the symbolism for bunnies, Google gave me Japan's symbolism (for some reason??? Idk???) and the bunny represents the moon or something, and then looking up what the moon represents in Japan is some kind of god
Then I looked up the Chinese symbolism and all I am getting is Chinese zodiac/years
