Happy Webcomics Day!!!

Unfortunately, due to art school and other tenuous life circumstances, my webcomics, Mind or Matter, is not officially launched yet. I’ve just recently completed drawing the 15 page prologue, and progress on chapter 1 will begin soon, so I’m waiting to build a more sufficient backlog before releasing the comic proper!!! However, I’d like to share a few of my style test pages and give the pitch of what this comic is about and encourage you to follow the official blog @mind-or-matter and and/or join the discord server (DM me for the link or use the QR code!!!) for page previews and additional material as I get the backlog built!

Now what IS mind or matter all about? glad you asked! Mind or Matter is a DnD-Inspired (and by that I mean it's directly based off of 2 DnD games of mine) fantasy webcomic about 3 college age students, Penny, Zenith, and Chronicle, who end up drifting apart from their once close friendship in high school and get thrown into a multiverse-spanning adventure that calls their dynamic into question!

The comic follows two parallel plots, Mindfarers, and Event Horizon! Mindfarers follows Penny, a dragonborn wizard who's hired as an intern at the Mindfarer headquarters stationed in Nexus, the crossroads city of interconnectivity between the known multiverse - they dive into various people's internal mindscapes, helping them work through their internal struggles through visualized metaphor!

Meanwhile, Event Horizon follows Zenith, a thoughtborn paladin recruited to travel across the astral sea on a small spacefaring ship with their newfound ragtag found family, fighting various space monsters and investigating a wider mystery that may be more intertangled with her friends back home than she'd like to think. Chronicle, the third member of their former friend group, remains at home in college, desperately wishing for a return to what she remembers as normalcy.

Mind or Matter is rated T for cursing, depictions of mental health and various traumatic events, and occasional dips into psychological and surreal horror- this comic is primarily about mental health and it'll visualize it!!

Well, you know, some bathroom graffiti offers insight.

Red marker handwriting on a bathroom wall. Text reads:

“Boss made a dollar Granddad made a dime But that was a poem From a simpler time.

Boss made a thousand Gave pa a cent But that penny paid the mortgage Or at least it paid the rent

Now Boss makes a million And gives us jack Smugly blames the workers For the labor that he lacks.”

I really like this website because somebody will be like “there’s nothing wrong with darting out from behind a parked car into traffic, bootlicker” and you can be like okay this clearly evolved from a valid point about how the US is too car-centric. But something happened to it.

people should NOT be allowed to say they met their partner online when they used a dating site or app. if you say "we met online 🥰" i expect to hear that you got into an argument in a homestuck fanfic comment section and fell in love. that you met in a furry discord server and got married. not that you swiped on tinder until you met fucking josh who lived 3 miles away.

my unpopular opinion is that i hate tiktok because now people just publicly watch loud ass videos in public spaces with no regard for anyone else. 100% it was not this bad with youtube, it’s such a different thing with tiktok. put on headphones. you are grown.

This is it! This is what social media/smart tech have done! They’ve rotted away any distinction between private and public.

Yes, we do have the right to make demands on public behavior. Of course we do. Have you never heard of laws and etiquette? I’m not allowed to grocery shop naked. You can’t rummage through my purse. I can’t have a work meeting in the middle of a movie theatre.

I remember when it was taboo simply to answer your cell phone in public. The person answering would apologize and try to go to a more private area. Then public calls were normalized. Then putting people on speaker. Then listening to music without headphones. Do you know how many times I have hiked up a mountain or driven to the beach, only to be met with someone blaring shitty top 40 music from their portable speaker, because Heaven forbid you go one hour without noise?

Old woman yells at cloud and all that, but I can’t believe someone is not only admitting this behavior, but saying it’s a good thing! No one likes you! You’re a menace!

BEING INCONSIDERATE OF OTHERS IS STILL BAD.

It was obnoxious when it was youtube.

It was obnoxious when it was music.

It was obnoxious when it was the radio. 

It was obnoxious when it was dudes wanting to talk to you instead of letting you just read your freaking book.

Do you want to be this guy? Because being obnoxious in shared spaces is how you become this guy. 

Wear your damn headphones like an adult participant in the social contract.

Best art history lesson ever, thank you

I know most people don't care about anything unless it has to do with the U.S. but can we please start talking about the Canadian election.

Please don't vote for Poilievre. He's basically the Canadian Trump and plans to put in place laws that harm trans youth, and lots of other shit.

Please vote istg this is the only way anything will get better. Poilievre has been kissing millionaires and billionaires asses. He'll make life even harder, and he loves Trump.

Reblogs are appreciated, especially if you aren't Canadian.

Yeah when you think about it they're exactly the same

we need more pathetic female characters written by authors who don't hate women

to be clear since this is making the rounds: she has to be an absolute loser in no way that can be pinned on her gender. no "i'm just a girl tee-hee" stuff. straight up just a loser (nondenominational)

addendum: she must be the most important person in the whole narrative

I decided to sit down and concentrate and properly write the list of rules that qualify a character for this role.

  • FIRST LAW: This character must be a woman.
  • SECOND LAW: This character must be a loser, but not in a way that can be pinned on her gender. Misogynistic response from the audience does not disqualify the character.
  • THIRD LAW: If the audience does not enjoy this character, then it becomes impossible to enjoy the show/film/book/game altogether. It is not possible to ignore this character, for better or for worse.
  • FOURTH LAW: The character must make bad decisions, and not just be a victim of poor circumstances outside of her control. The character can also be a victim of poor circumstances outside of her control, but it has to be primarily her personal choices that deem her a loser.
