Put too much effort into this edit #obsession2026

Your Unemployed Friend on a Random Tuesday #comic

Panel 1: A guy says "I wonder what my unemployed friend is up to..." while picturing a person frolicking in a field with the text "Your Unemployed Friend on a Random Tuesday."
Panel 2: Meanwhile... The unemployed friend looks at an email which reads Re: Your application. Thank you for applying, unfortunately we've decided to go with another candidate. It is signed with a condescending smiley face.
Panel 3: The unemployed friend thinks "They rejected me... The only one to even bother to respond to my application rejected me... I can't go on like this... I'm going to die in poverty..."
Panel 4: They start crying in despair while thinking "They have to pay... I have to make them all fucking pay..."

I've been listening to too much Blitzkid and Mr Monster so now you get zombiegirl Matt. You're welcome (TW: Gore, implied suicide, f slur, misgendering) . . .

A drawing of Matt from The Dirties as a zombie. She has one drooping eye and a gunshot wound through her head and is oozing dark fluid from her wounds and face. Her hands are covered in mud as if she has been clawing through the dirt. She is wearing a black suit and tie, and has ripped holes in the suit pants at the knees. She is smiling wide and leaning against her own grave in a moonlit cemetery. Her tombstone reads "Matthew Johnson 1997-2013 beloved son" with a cross, and it is graffitied with the word "fag". The drawing has lyrics from Torn Prince by Mr Monster: There's an angel in the moon tonight above you watchin' over you
"There's a phantom in the ground tonight below you watchin' over you
There's an angel in your heart tonight who's dyin' to make it to you
'cause i'm so lonely in the dirt tonight below you cryin' over you"

Therapize yourself

A black and white doodle of a young man in a dark bathroom gripping the sink basin and smiling anxiously at his reflection, saying to himself "Yes, that evil and traumatic stuff you want to do during a public mental breakdown would be a perfect balance of irony and referential humor and sincerity and heart and biting sociopolitical commentary, and I'm sure the imaginary audience you made up in your head would love it, but that's not how we're supposed to express our feelings. How about we try finding a healthy outlet for our emotions?"

Main characters from my WIP comic script currently titled 'Rivers of Blood.' #ocart

A drawing of my characters Casey and Danny walking. Casey is walking in front and scowling. He is tall and skinny with medium length blond hair. Danny is walking behind and staring at Casey longingly. He is shorter and chubbier with short black hair. Danny is thinking "Casey is so cute... I wish I could tell him I love him, but I'm so scared to ruin our friendship..." while Casey is thinking "There's so much evil in this world and it has to be purged. I have to do it. I have to kill. ... And I should get pickled onions on my sandwich."

I've had this sitting around for a bit

"The Dirties but its The Yuris"
Drawing 1: Matt from The Dirties wearing a dress over her clothes and standing in front of Chrissy. Matt says "Thanks for letting me borrow your old clothes!" and Chrissy says "Anytime!" Matt is thinking "Chrissy is being weirdly nice to me today." and Chrissy is thinking "I will mould my Galatea from this edgelord's unshaped clay."
Drawing 2: A comic with Matt and Owen. Owen looking nervous says "I just don't 'get' most guys, girls are usually much easier to be around. Sometimes I think I should've been born a girl. Matt smiles and says "Haha, I think about being a girl all the time!!" They sit in silence and awkwardly avoid looking at each other.

Her thought bubble reads “Every time I try to do normal things and be a normal person all it does is rub in the fact that I can’t do it and I can’t even fake it and everyone can tell and it feels like such bullshit, it makes me want to kill myself, it makes me wish I had already done it, fuck, I don’t know why I even try!!!”
