Me, making no effort whatsoever to show people my characters. Has no oc page, never write anything and doesn’t show people the small amount of writing I’ve done. Doesn’t draw comics, doesn’t explain anything

Me: god I wish people would care about my characters

in a long, slow line at the DMV

listening to blind date talk about their ex

reading YouTube comments

song they hate just came on

had their favorite show spoiled

just fell in love (a.k.a. “Dreamweaver face”)

saw a wasp

had a fist fight (they won)

had a fist fight (they lost)

“oh no, they’re hot…”

watching the end of The Iron Giant… or maybe the opening to Up… or w-when Shadow is stuck in Homeward Bound…??

woken up out of a dead sleep
