Shades After 011
Back from scotland! Had a fantastic time and saw a lot of Sir Fabulous T-shirts go to new owners!
In a sadder note I’ve decided to stop livestreaming for the time being- I’ll miss you all terribly and being able to talk to you in real time is fantastic but I’m getting tendon issues in my hand which means drawing so much in one go isn’t good for it. On the plus side updates will be more regular from now on- with a backlog of comics you can expect to see them turn up every monday and wednesday like clockwork!
Dun. DUUUUN. DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!! :(
Oiy. Nevermind. Poor Chris he was trying so hard.
Also I had issues with my hand and wrist too, I hope yours heals quicker than mine!
just keep yourself well and functioning and content. that’s what counts.
*dramatic gasps* well crap.
I hope your hand heals quickly, and as long as you’re doing well then that’s all that matters! can’t wait for the update!
Awe, hopefully your hands heal up quickly Tab. Sending Ehugs your way. <3
Oh my. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse…
I hope you’re visiting a specialist, Tab?
Artist and musicans alike, there is always the problem that while the mind is free, the body is is confined, especially if some parts are strained much more than others.
Gonna miss your lifestreams terribly, but health first! – and please note if you ever start streaming again!
I only noticed just now – is that the tie Anwar bought for him that he’s wearing? Adorable!
I’m all to familiar with the issues that can come about as a result of too much computer/mouse use all in one go. Hurts like hell. :(
Hope you manage to get to a point when you’re comfortable again.
Take care of yourself, Tab!
I can kinda understand why Anwar’s mom is upset; there’s a bit of a generational difference between her and Anwar and some communication errors on Anwar’s part, to a certain degree, but…
I really don’t feel okay with her yelling this in the middle of a crowded room like that. I’m hoping she apologizes for it. I mean, people make mistakes, but if she doesn’t even acknowledge that that wasn’t okay (assuming she gets an opportunity to), then she’ll have lost my respect a little bit, to be honest.
I feel bad for Chris, too, who’s kinda caught in the middle.
Does the generational thing work differently in the UK than in America? Because in my parents’ and grandparents’ times, and moreso the further back you go in America, large age gaps in marriages were MORE common than I think they are these days. Although… not so much young fellows dating older men with children, I suppose. xD
Well, I’m from America, so I’m sure?
I wouldn’t really know about the age gap thing as much, but you’re probably right.
Seems like JD’s mental dialogue might be something like: “This may have been a bad plan.”
OH WHAT A DICK! His mother bitched him out, and he chases after her instead of comforting his boyfriend? Uh-uh, that’s harsh.
“Family is the most important thing”, or “la sangre es más espesa que el agua” (“blood is thicker than water”). And, specifically, “madre no hay más que una, y a ti te encontré en la calle” (“there’s only one mother, and you I met in the streets”). Harsh indeed, but hardly unheard-of in human history or unconceivable.
The phrase, “Blood is thicker than water,” is a perversion of how it was originally coined. The original phrase went as follows:
“Blood of the battlefield is thicker than water of the womb.”
It means that those who stand by you and stand up for you, who would bleed for you and go through hell for you, are more akin to your true family than whoever sired you.
An interesting hypothesis. I didn’t know about it. (I now read on the Wikipedia that blood is that shared in a blood oath, not that spilled on a battlefield.) It could even be true.
As an health conscious person, I tend to look things up online for ways to take better care of myself (though at times I scare myself with the med student syndrome, lol )
Hmm, well massage the area a bit to get the blood flowing there, do some non strenuous exercises or pick up a new skill to do (well you got the fashion thing as well, so I think you are good) , and make sure to get sleep (I know how artists like to push themselves and try to fool themselves into thinking they can get by with less, but often times a lot of artists have health problems from sleep deprivation)
Take care of yourself Tab, and thank you for sharing and continuing to do so. =)
