https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kIlKOx0nN_N2vVu99bdbbuhl1NExVu6S4 This album reminds me so deeply of 'The Laconic Student's Dilemma'. These are the vibes I want to project with my art and writing.

Okay this is stupid but it was genuinely eating away at me so like. Here. I compiled a list of albums I've been listening to on loop that for sure have influenced my writing of Vol. 1 so far. Honorable mention to "Oranges and Lemons" by XTC and "Slow Motion Apocalypse" by Grotus. I've already revealed too much to the masses I will never be this open about lore ever again. https://palmistshouse.net/lsd/albums.png

That first drawing on the LSD page is actually a redraw of https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/122993162 this doodle from the second volume of the original Laconic Student's Dilemma comic (I changed some things in the new version but essentially it's the same drawing)

Whenever I'm feeling down about my art I go redraw something made years ago and then I feel better seeing how much I've progressed. I really do not like my own art despite how much I draw lol I don't think I'll ever be pleased with anything I make. I am glad to have improved so much and so quickly, though #optimism

If it helps, I think your art is incredibly charming! It is simply the artists curse to never be satisfied ^^; I should also go back and draw my older pieces sometime...

@ Wodaro & Oscarspage thank you both for your kind words (；▽；) It’s always nice to hear what other people have to say. Even if I’m not the biggest fan of my own art it’s truly comforting that people think it looks nice and enjoy seeing it! It makes creating things more worthwhile in the long run. I will never ever stop drawing since it’s very fun, even if I don’t like the result the process is always enjoyable.

It's also so insane to me that I've been able to cultivate a tiny space of my own for my stories and characters. Absolutely mindblowing that people are like... Aware of me and my creations. Creating Hong and Anton and TLSD and everything else has allowed me to come to terms with my own existence on a spiritual level so I'm pretty grateful for the ability to create art. Anyway, I'm crazy!

Anton likes to think of himself as some kind of bishie-adjacent figure but he's really a lot more gruff than that.

I have a bunch of old writings in my files that ought to be dug up and given a new life... I remember back when I first started taking this site seriously one of the first things I'd posted was a story about people turning into computers or some shit that actually predates 'The Laconic Student's Dilemma' by a few months. I wanna see if I can find it and fix it up a bit...
At this point I've stopped caring if my writing is "good" or "bad", I <3 uploading my BULLSHIT to the internet and forcing you all to read it.
this takes me back to when we sit around in classes and have to decipher poems. i dont have anything deep to say abt it but i love surrealist works like this (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) "we are so unbelievably fucked" lol
@ Yunkosjeskt I remember back in high school having to do similar stuff, I always took things very literally and it was hard for me to see beyond the face value of a writing. I mean, with this story you could also take it at face value.
