Cactus Codex

Ever wanted to wring your mom’s neck because of how unbelievably dense she’s being?

My brother is becoming more and more depressed and disengaged at school and it’s finally culminating in a family meeting with counselors and social workers, and the bitch won’t shut the fuck up about missing homework.

Homework this, homework that, “you keep lying and not doing homework”, “I think you’re just on your phone too much”, “you don’t respect me so how can I help you”, “you’re failing yourself and me”. The same ol’ abuse-lite that I’ve been hearing so much of lately.

Not even telling her in her face that the counselor said that he’s seriously depressed and you need to stop did anything.

Fucking shook her head in denial and went back to blaming everything but her.

I’m just speechless.

Pro-communism versus vicious anti-communism continues to be the defining feature of my Dashboard 2017

It’s me!

A plant!

On the tumblr sphere!

I totally didn’t blank out on checking this site for a few days and missed a couple hundred of posts!

Now I wait for the next major milestone, which is in 26 days >2>

Pet peeve: Artists giving the CMCs the beveled version of their cutie marks.

(source: alasou)

See the thicker outline at the top of the mark, making it look sorta 3D? That’s what I mean. In practice, they actually don’t look like that.

See, no bevel!

I know, it’s a tiny thing to worry about, but if people can be bothered by backwards cutie marks, then I can be bothered by this. :Y

I’m an old and withering plant.

Great times when your group project is flagged for plagiarism.

Great times.

Okay but seriously.

Of allllll the classes I’m taking, what are the chances that Probability is the one fucking me over >:c

One day I should make a photo collage of all the posts and quotes I see on my dashboard on a daily basis, just to show how absolutely weird it looks when juxtaposed together.

Sometimes the limitations of my drawing methods can be rather silly.

Example 7: This shit right here.

It doesn’t happen often, but occasionally I’ll have two layers overlapping each other like the blue and pink circles here (and in this exact order, no way around it), and have to draw something that is behind the pink, but over the blue.

Which is no problem with regular lineart.

But since I draw everything in shapes on separate layers, it’s actually impossible to have this arrangement through layer ordering.

The workaround is to place the grey rectangle over the blue, select the pink layer, and delete the selection from the grey layer (as I’ve crudely done in the example).

Or to place the grey under the pink, duplicate it and place that over the blue, and then clip it to the blue.

Either way, it’s a weird and silly case to deal with.

As much as I rag on anons a lot, and as much as they can give me grief sometimes, I really gotta make a shout-out to them.

I don’t think PC would’ve gone the way it did without the lovable and weird anons I’ve encountered over the years. So it’s a no-brainer that I should acknowledge them and let them know that I love them so.

Thank you, anons of PC.

The temperatures here in PA are skyrocketing and in response, Housing suddenly turned off the heating in my building and turned on the A/C.

Holy shit, my room is an icebox now .-.

1 AM Fears: OH SHIT I DIDN’T TURN IN THE ASSIGNM-

oh wait, yes I did

nvm

1 week until Post Crusade’s fifth year anniversary.

Who wants a feature? >_>

Anons keep sending this kind of stuff to poor PC Scootaloo and honestly y'all need Jesus.

(Actually I love it; keep doing it O2O)
