Comic Writer. Secrets & Shadows (2012). Clusterf@#k (2014/16). Mega Centurions (2022, Scout). Finally caved so I'm here now.

Had my semi-annual watch of The Raid and if you looked up the definition of "hands" in the dictionary, you'd see Mad Dog's picture. "This is the pulse. This is what I do."

Jesus, *after putting putting Secrets & Shadows and Clusterf@#k on GlobalComix. Damn, my brain missed that one.

In reality, Clusterf@#k is more like Men In Black if it was monsters and demons instead of aliens but also J and K quit to do their own thing then clashed with the MIB. Also also, people cuss a lot and slightly more violent. That's really it.

I don't know if I'd ever change the title but it definitely made marketing and social media stuff a real hassle. If I did change anything, I would have changed the symbols used rather than the two most used ones for most social media sites.

After putting Secrets & Shadows and Clusterf@#k, I can see that the former got way more looks than the latter. It might be because the former is a pretty straightforward superhero story while the latter is a harder sell because of the title. People always think it's going to be edgelordy.

Their first post was a screen cap of Elon's net worth or something as a dunk. Told me everything I needed to know.

Was listening to Mr. Rager on YouTube and in the comments there were all of these messages about being sober, missing someone who liked the song, or how the song helped them. But then there were also multiple comments just saying 'never goon' with no context.

Okay, I am seeking help from any comic pros attending DragonCon in ATL! I want to attend, but I have missed the application deadline. If you have an extra pro or exhibitor pass that you can spare, I am more than happy to help with booth set up, selling merch, running a panel, etc.

Apparently, it's #portfolioday
My name is Jon Parrish and I've written a few comics, the most recent of which was Mega Centurions: Mega No More. Check the thread for other things I've written.

At the rate I'm going, I'll probably hit 1k posts/skeets/whatever by the end of the year. Again, probably not a bad thing.

When you watch a little movie or show and the first hour or so is the characters going on a little adventure and with some shenanigans but then in the last half hour it's like 'okay, here's what this is really about' and gets heavy.

Watching Suzume for the first time and while the repeated earthquake alerts gave me an inkling, as soon as they were headed to Tohoku, I knew where it was going.

I have family coming to stay with me while in between places. I kind of got used to living alone so we'll see how it goes.

I pop into Twitter very briefly every once in awhile and today I was greeted with 'Samoa Joe', 'Rest In Peace', and 'Rest Easy' in the what's happening. Thankfully, they were unrelated but I was like "Come on, man".

let go of the idea that people are "good" or "bad". people are capable of all sorts of things and we all make choices that we are responsible for. that's it

Was looking at some files for Mega Centurions and despite everything (2020, death of family members, etc.), the fact that it got finished is still remarkable. I'll probably have a lot of conflicting feelings about it but it's still a solid book. Just wish I had crowdfunded it instead.

Went on LinkedIn and immediately saw a picture of Michelle Obama with them saying "Can Michelle Obama beat Trump?" What?

I had a practice of muting people if they were having a bad day or something where it wasn't bad enough to unfollow. It was usually supposed to be for a day or two but ADHD is a motherfucker.

Back on Twitter, I would ask myself 'Huh, I haven't seen any tweets from xyz, I wonder what happened to them?' then search their name to discover I just muted them and forgot about it.

A big part of July 4th is that I live right on the state line outside of Chicago so people come over to buy and shoot off the fireworks they can't legally have in the city. So people really make it count.

How the fire didn't spread to the garage still amazes me. That and the fact that no one noticed until I took the trash out the next day. Didn't even smell smoke.

I'm not fond of fireworks anymore but that's because one year, we put out a mattress late June and the people didn't pick it up before the 4th so of course it ended up catching fire and ended up completely melting our garbage bin.

I owe it to writing posts out and then just deleting them more often than posting them. If I'm being honest, I needed to write them out but they didn't need to be seen.

I've been on BlueSky since October and don't even have 800 posts yet. Probably a good thing in the long run.

I don't know. Newspapers and websites seem to be constantly showing us the people to get mad at. In their own unedited words even. I feel like some of the anger people have could be directed at making their lives worse. Not even on some violent revolution shit, just making their lives miserable.

A big reason I'm not looking forward to this is because I know who usually ends up on the receiving end. Which I'm already seeing.

I don't know. It's like me lashing out at my brother when both of us are under the thumb of our alcoholic stepdad. At some point, you have to realize who you're really mad at and start thinking about what to do about it. Eventually, I got fed up did something about it.

Not looking forward to the upcoming months of people flailing desperately and lashing out at people in the same spot as them rather than the people making the decisions.

Honestly, each member of the Shield looks like they wore JNCOs but Rollins is the only one I can say with confidence definitely owned more than one pair. Probably some Lee Pipes jeans too.
