Yeehaw Bitch

I’M COMING OUT OF MY HIATUS TO TELL Y’ALL SOME URGENT NEWS. MAYBE IT’S ALREADY BEEN SPREAD. MAYBE NOT. BUT EITHER WAY PRIDE FALL IS HAPPENING AND I WANT Y’ALL SAFE.

KEEP YOUR ACCOUNTS PRIVATE AND LOCK YOUR MESSAGES ON JUNE 1ST. OR BETTER YET, STAY OFF YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA IN THAT TIME.

STAY HOME STAY SAFE LMK IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.

There are very few things on the list of ‘will make spud contemplate canceling the comic entirely’, however, I would like to congratulate some of you for finding one.  You see, I have a minor issue with individuals deciding that they won’t get answers from me, so the wave of harassment from entitled anons decides to flood people I care about. 

It is becoming blatantly apparent to me that upon my break some fans of the comic have decided to go into the inboxes of my friends and family and send lovely messages such as: 

Upon stating that they would in fact, NOT betray my trust if they knew about anything they received lovely messages such as this:

This here? This is unacceptable. This is childish. 

The fact that I need to make any kind of statement on this is utterly and completely ridiculous. 

Tumblr will not receive a page Sunday.

Patreon will update as normal.

You’re grounded. 

Sometimes people need breaks and you should understand that

Stop harassing Spud and her friends and family

Be thankful that the comic even exists

Don’t be such assholes about it

Miriam and Audrey (who is there and has worked through her issues) are like “Uuuhhh, what?” And the main game is them trying to get Kiwi back, while Kiwi and Eyala try to stall the process however they can.

A real kicker I thought might be good is that there’s actual combat in this one. Miriam is down of course, but after hanging up the hero’s sword Audrey is hesitant to pick it back up again. The emotional core comes from Miriam, using the compassion she learned from Kiwi, helps Audrey through the process of realizing that the sword is just an object. It was her using it, but she’s different now and she doesn’t have to be afraid of it anymore.

New game.

Gotta say, the newest issue of the SU comic series caught me by surprise. Its a pretty simple story, find A - can't find A - conflict - happy end, but I didn't expect the little bits if the past we did.

Not to mention these references on the front yo old artworks are a nice touch. Especially Rose and Pearl on the swings painting, considering that artwork is about love, flirtation, and adultery.

Basically, Steven and Connie go to the library again.

They're looking for more of the journals that they found there before, the same one that Steven found and lead Greg to being captured by Blue Diamond.

Surprise! There's now more!

And this one man knew to much for one ol explorer.

The call backs and implications to what else is on the pages we don't really intrigues me.

Steven, don't be tempted to the bad boy dark side, please. Connie fanning the fire of rebellion in him, totally harmless.

Are you hydrated? 

If not, have a glass of water. Dehydration can mimic or increase feelings associated with anxiety and a well hydrated brain functions optimally. Avoid excess caffeine. 

Have you eaten in the past three hours? 

Don’t be a victim of hanger! Get some food–something with protein, not just simple carbs or high-fat. Nuts, hummus, and veggies are great options to feed your studying brain. Keep healthy snacks within reach to avoid mindlessly chowing down on sweets. 

Have you stretched your legs in the past day? 

If not, do so right now. If you don’t have the energy or time for a run or a trip to the gym, just walk around the block or building. Even minimal exercise preps the mind for learning so that you can focus better and recall things easier, plus it’s good to get a change of scenery. 

Have you said something nice to someone in the past day? 

Do so, whether online or in person. Make it genuine! We bet your study partner would appreciate a compliment. 

Have you moved your body to music in the past day?

If not, jog for the length of a song at your favorite tempo, or just dance around your bedroom for the length of an upbeat song (singing along is a bonus) 

Have you cuddled a living being in the past two days?

If not, do so. Don’t be afraid to ask for hugs from friends of friends’ pets. Most of them will enjoy the cuddles too; you’re not imposing. 

Have you started or changed any medications in the past couple of weeks, including skipped doses or a change in generic prescription brand? 

That may be screwing with your head. Give things a few days, then talk to your doctor if it doesn’t settle down. 

If daytime: are you dressed? 

If no, put on clean clothes that aren’t PJs. Give yourself permission to wear something special, whether it’s a funny t-shirt or a pretty dress. 

If nighttime: are you sleepy and fatigued but resisting going to sleep? 

Put on PJs, make yourself cozy in bed with a teddy bear and the sound of falling rain, and close your eyes for fifteen minutes while focusing on breathing deeper with every breath- no electronic screens allowed! Adequate sleep is a necessity for stress management. 

Do you feel ineffective? 

Pause right now and get something small completed, whether it’s responding to an email, loading the dishwasher, or tidying up your room. Good job!

Do you feel unattractive? 

Take a darn selfie. Your friends will remind you how great you look. You are always insta-worthy. 

Do you feel paralyzed by indecision?

Give yourself ten minutes to sit back and figure out a game plan for the day. If a particular decision or problem is still being a roadblock, simply set it aside for now, and pick something else that seems doable. Right now, the important part is to break through that stasis, even if it means doing something trivial. 

Have you over-exerted yourself lately–physically, emotionally, socially, or intellectually? 

That can take a toll that lingers for days. Give yourself a break in that area, whether it’s physical rest, taking some time alone, or relaxing with some silly entertainment for a little. Time spent refreshing yourself is never time “wasted!” 

Have you waited a week? 

Sometimes or perception of life is skewed, and we can’t even tell that we’re not thinking clearly, and there’s no obvious external cause. It happens. Keep yourself going for a full week, whatever it takes, and see if you still feel the same way then.
