Redacted and Expunged - Ghost Stories

Welp, finally finished a second drawing of SCPs 682 and 053 as Calvin and Hobbes characters, this time they are telling each other scary ghost stories.

Featuring some of my favorite non-SCP cryptids Mothman, the Wendigo, and of course, Sirenhead.

I had a lot of fun trying to emulate Bill Watterson’s style form his more detailed images for the big cryptids, and I hope I did it justice.

        -Sirenhead is not a SCP and belongs to Trevor @ slimyswampghost-

(also please enjoy silly Sirenhead doodle :DDD)

SCP - 407: The Song of Genesis

Another weekly art prompt, this one was “Gardening.” 

Like as stated above for example, use open source software. Switch from chrome to firefox. Read the terms and conditions.

Shop at antique/thrift/pawn stores and stop buying everything new.

Barter. Exchange services, items, or skills with your peers. Are you 16 and able to drive your friends around? Carpool, and ask that your friends pay you back with food sometime, or teach you a skill that they have. Maybe that band kid is really good at knitting. Learn how to do that.

There’s always a lot of work to be done and not all of it requires experience, a specific skill set or being legally an adult.

SCP - 001: When Day Breaks

Me: Hey I have time during quarantine and a good amount of red acrylic paint left, I should do a environment piece for practice.

My submission for a weekly art challenge where the prompt was “That’s a Weird Looking Dog,” and surprising no one with it being from the SCP wiki. But I should at least get points for not going the easy way out with 939. 

Okay. 

These kids go to school and have to deal with the very plausible possibility that they won’t come home, because some asshole might decide he wants his fifteen minutes of fame and chose to get it with a gun. They have to practice active shooter drills. They have to watch the news and see the faces of other kids who died just because they went to school. And many of them have already developed anxiety, depression, and PTSD because of it.

Live through a depression? 

Okay. 

The housing crisis and economic crash of 2008 has all but destroyed the middle class. These kids are looking at bleak-ass futures where the price of an education might destroy them, and where the education itself doesn’t give them any kind of guarantee of a decent job with a livable wage because billionaire-owned megacorporations would rather see their workers starve than face the thought of losing a few points in the “who has more money” race. 

These kids live with the very real fact that our planet is on fucking fire and no one with enough power to do anything about it seems willing to bother. 

They live with the fact that we’re having a resurgence of Nazi and Fascist ideals in what is supposed to be the ‘land of the free.’ They live with the fact that we are putting refugees--many of them children like they are--in cages and letting them die of things like the flu. They’re watching grown-ass adults bring back plagues rather than risk their children developing autism because some asshole faked a study and said vaccines and autism were linked. They’re watching women’s bodily autonomy and gay and trans rights being stripped away one law at a time. They’re watching black and brown people get gunned down by policemen with little to no accountability, and watching their grandparents die because they can’t afford their next insulin shot. 

These kids are literally living with the prospect of a planet that might be uninhabitable in another generation or two, an economy that might well collapse, a wage minimum that promises they’ll need 2-3 jobs just to make ends meet, an education system that is making college an elite and impossible goal, and a bunch of back-water bigoted policy making its way to the supreme court and getting upheld.

These kids are perfectly capable of seeing and understanding the fact that things are falling down around them but are powerless to do anything about it, and you’re going to freak out about them expressing their frustration at older generations with an innocuous and harmless phrase? And you’re seriously going to sit there and pretend it’s just that these kids don’t like to be told they’re wrong? 

Yeah, I’m with the kiddos on this one:

Ok, boomer.

i know people who are trump supporters. talking to them is the perfect opportunity to say “i’m antifa” or “i support antifa” watch them freak out and then follow up with: “antifa just means anti-fascism - it’s not an organization.. are you for fascism? because i’m anti-fascist.”
