I never realized the original comic could have been taken as “well mashing up popular stuff gets more views, guess I’ll ditch my original ideas and do that instead.” I just took it as “yeah it’s a pain in the ass that that’s how it goes.” So I like this response a lot. I have nothing against parodies. I just have no desire to make them myself. So I keep at doing my own characters and ideas even though it’s just a small handful of people who care. And any young artist with original, unique ideas should do the same! Even if it feels like no one’s looking, it’s far more respectable than ditching it entirely to make an entire YouTube channel dedicated to “whoa hey what if five nights at Freddy’s met Pokemon!?” I mean, hey, you wanna do some stuff like that, cool, but don’t entirely ditch your original creations in favor of something with a built-in audience. We need more people to create new and interesting characters and stories so the internet stops getting overrun by that in the first place!

This is the power make up has to change lives, @this-is-life-actually.

I love it..

FOR ANYONE WONDERING THE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES OF THIS, IT KILLS BIG CONS TOO. Youmacon started putting up their rules for no obstructive masks or face paint due to people needing to be IDENTIFIED AS THEY DESTROYED THE CON CENTER AND SURROUNDING HOTELS. ALA (Anime Los Angeles, a well known, huge, secure con) got moved to Ontario, CA, after 2015’s convention because so many people destroyed the Marriott that they said “fuck it, fuck you, we aren’t hosting this anymore.” It doesn’t just kill small cons, it kills the biggest, most well known conventions in the country. This is why larger cons, the hotel blocks are hundreds of dollars, nobody gets a discount anymore, nobody gets the “free CONtinental breakfast” that was super common when I started cosplaying in 2010. Because we, as a collective, destroyed these hotels. I’ve paid my fair share of fees due to ruined hotel towels, but I’ve had friends charged with destroyed chairs, tables, etc. etc. that they DIDN’T RUIN because of the fact the hotels have to find SOMEWHERE to get the money to FIX WHAT PEOPLE DID RUIN. Take care of your hotel rooms. Leave tips for the cleaning staff. Bring a big garbage bag to throw your cup noodles in, and bring your own towels if you think your paint/makeup might destroy hotel ones. Don’t throw massive room parties, bring a small pack of wet wipes and wipe down your makeup station every day, don’t be a jerk!!!!!!! Keep Cons Clean and Safe and Secure by not being a massive fucker!!!!!

If you’re staying in the con hotel you have a fucking responsibility to be a good representative of your con. This is why there are age limits on who can book a space. If you can’t behave like an adult, if you can’t trust your LAWL SO RANDOM XD enthusiasm to not result in property damage, then you don’t belong at a con. You aren’t fucking welcome.

I love my best friends new drawing of the game grumps :)
