"You're running from me, now"

My dumb ass was sitting here for a minute trying to figure out what sort of gremlin drinks booze from a bowl before I realized you meant weed ๐Ÿคฃ

For manga, I've always purchased from Barnes & Noble and Books a Million, mainly because they're near my house and I'm more of an in-store shopper, but they've got solid online presences and a satisfying catalogue. Plus, both have pretty good membership reward programs (B&N in particular is $40/yr and gives you 10% off pretty much everything, free shipping, and a $5 reward for every cumulative $100 spent, plus some other stuff).

And if those places don't have what I'm looking for, there's always Amazon

He's silent, but deadly

Good chapter, but man, I'm never reading mangadex comments again. People can be so whiny and fragile over the smallest thing.

Falling into a black hole is almost always fatal.

Almost??

This is my favorite type of one-shot. Profoundly casual, and yet casually profound. 10/10

Sounds like planes with missing steps

I'm a writer rather than an artist, but I think I experience some similar frustration when I'm working on stories of my own. I know how I want the story to go in my head, but when I put pen to paper it comes out wrong somehow, or just not quite how I imagined it, and I end up scrapping it and starting over a million times.

I don't know how feasible this advice is for art, but I can share a lesson I've learned the hard way: Just put something on the paper. That's all you need to do. Even if you hate it, at least it's something. Once you've got something, you can work with it, mold it into the shape you want it to be, or at least something close. The temptation to edit your work as you create it is powerful, but it must be avoided at all costs. Perfection is the enemy of progress.

Like I said, I'm not sure how well that advice transfers over to drawing/visual art (or maybe I just completely misunderstood the issue in the first place, lol), but I hope that helped somehow ๐Ÿ™‚
