I can’t wait til the boyfriend and I move out of the apt. he shares with his sister.
So when he and I wake up early, I can run around and pretend I’m Captain America without waking anyone up or spooking the dogs.
What you meant to say is you can’t wait for you and your boyfriend to move out of the apartment he shares with his sister so that you can move into the apartment you will be sharing with your brother. Because bro will make coffee in the morning and tape a sign that says ‘You are butts’ on your door.
Space cats? Space cats! We can’t get enough of this vintage postcard discovered by Flickr user Dear Detective.

You pick up things and use them sometimes.

1960s sea explorer with Ayn Rand, except you never actually get to explore the sea. You just look out at it from a window sometimes.
KIDNAP LITTLE GIRLS. SHOOT AT OLD TIMEY DIVER THINGS.
Portal 2: You pick up boxes and walk through holes.
Legend of Zelda: you’re a legendary hero but you spend all your time lost, running errands, or getting killed by chickens.
Choose options in windows for about 50 hours with the occasional interruption of mashing X to go through text boxes. (SRPGs, my favorite genre)

Notes on Frustration
If you ever find yourself in what seems like a bottomless pit of self-doubt and hatred of your work – hey, I’ve been there! I think that most artists have. But recently I’ve tried to develop a different way of looking at art and critique that have made me happier and have relieved some stress.
Before I begin I just want to make clear that this absolutely not a post on how everyone should approach art undoubtedly. Everyone should do whatever they please with their art. It’s tough to see people, especially my friends, in this self-depreciating agony - and if I found this information useful for getting out of that state of mind, maybe others will too.

aimless ramblings
Someone favorited a random page of my Deviantdead comic yesterday. Since it was one page out of the blue I was curious so I looked to see which one it was, which egged me on to re-read the entire comic for a first time in a while. What weirded me out the most about it was scrolling down to the comments where… where there was like A LOT of support! I got tons of comments on excitement for what would happen next, surprise, questions, an compliments on my writing, art, character development and just about everything. Not even just the great pages that I worked hard on, but the pages where I was obviously running low on gas or trying to get a deadline, too. I was a little surprised, I didn’t remember being that complimented. I was really flattering to look through some of the comments again, they were VERY kind! I’m surprised I forgot that I ever had that kind of support for my art and ideas (though it may seem small compared to real fanbases/fandom for comics), I guess it’s easy to forgot praise when it goes away. I don’t expect to get praise on random commissions for character that my followers have no attachment to, nor to I expect people to freak out with excitement over me starting a new comic project (a year after I announced it), since I’ve kept most of it to myself. It makes me wonder if Deviantdead was just the perfect storm of being in the right place at the right time with the right group of people, or if Astron will ever get that kind of positive attention and feedback. There really is nothing quite like people being interested and curious in your thoughts, ideas and writing. That’s why I could never be jealous of someone who’s popular, because it’s a real gift to be able have an audience, and I just have to be happy for them. I think that if I hadn’t gotten such encouragement during Deviantdead, I would never have taken comics and art as seriously as I do now. To think I’m now entering a career in art when I thought getting a job would be impossible. Life is so easily bended!
