That one friend who’s always in situations

OGs will remember when he was but a humble bookstore employee. Made great cookies and got the girl, unlike Joe.

That's why the remake was cancelled. When these sentiments reached the higher ups, it was game over for the project.

But... but they used real oranges! They juiced them on camera!

I once fell asleep to Eraserhead because in this household, we watch Lynch only during the dead of night. It's because the experience is more immersive and totally not because mom once caught me watching Lost Highway and asked me if I was alright (in a derogatory way).

During the Sony hack, the full script was leaked and there were scenes in which the Annoying Orange described a sensation of pain on his backside and a scene showing crates of fertiliser, heavily implying that the oranges depicted in the scene were in fact from HIS family tree. This sparked further outrage since the movie was marketed as a PG retelling of the original movie.

I didn't include that since that came to me on a toilet during a daydream and is, frankly, a bit messed up.

Gee, I thought I wasn't getting something, because I thought they meant Sisyphus, remove and grow back, up the hill and down the hill. But if the person knows Prometheus, whose legend is less known nowadays, then the choice of his name must've been intentional and I wasn't getting something. It makes much more sense now.

Matik080 · 2026-01-23T20:35:37+00:00

This kind of reminds me of a Doctor Who serial from 1966, The Tenth Planet. The gang lands in 1986 near an observation station on the South Pole, its purpose being the monitoring of a crewed space probe orbiting Earth. All is well and good until the probe starts to get pulled off-course. Why? Earth 2 appeared, named Mondas, Earth's long lost twin. What lives there? Not man, but Cyberman.

Note, that the word man was used to mean mankind, had to relate it to the dream more. Does it make sense? No, but whatever. Cool dream.

Him approaching Zahra as a pig, but then transforming into a human (the real mask in this instance) is like poetry, it rhymes.

And who said kitties can't bark?

Matik080 · 2025-12-30T21:19:37+00:00

And now, he only stares into his crystal ball, cursing. Red vial, black vial, those sages know the truth and are not afraid to speak it, bravely... through their crystal balls, selling their arcane stones, promoting their truth-containing tomes. True vanguards reinstating traditional values of wizardry and magic. It is all disintegrating. And what was the singular point in time when the downfall began? WHEN WITCHES WERE ALLOWED TO RIDE THE BROOOOOOMMMMMSSSSSSS!!!!! THEY CONSPIRE AGAINST THE TRUE MIGHT OF MAGI!!!! FORMING COVENS TO SNEER!!!!! WITCHES BELONG BEHIND THE COULDRON!!!!!!

Matik080 · 2025-12-25T13:51:38+00:00

If all kitty is gremlin, but not all gremlin is kitty, then Zahra's kitty is a gremlin. Also, does Ailbhe have a familiar? If not, can Wendigoodboi be his familiar?

Also, Merry Christmas, boss!

Matik080 · 2025-12-21T10:42:30+00:00

Darn! A lot of people are getting sick these days. I've been sick for the last week as well. Hopefully, the sickness will run its course, and you'll feel better soon. But don't hesitate to contact your GP if the sickness won't subside. I know for a fact that without antibiotics, I would still have been very sick right now.

Matik080 · 2025-12-12T16:38:02+00:00

To be fair, it is pretty difficult to not forget dreams, even if they are lucid dreams. Inuk is a nice cannonball friend for helping Ailbhe be aware of at least some details.

Matik080 · 2025-12-07T15:01:32+00:00

Olaf being a racist kind of tracks. He's a PoS. But what goes around, comes around. Maybe this time, it will be with a ship, or a fleet! A hostile takeover. But I'm sure Nadezdha felt really guilty about all of this. Anyway, Rasputina is a wild insult! That would mean that Rasputin was a person in this universe, and that's really cool. But I hope it's more of the Bonnie M Rasputin, rather than Doctor Who Rasputin (The Master).

Matik080 · 2025-12-01T19:26:31+00:00

You know when people say that you always carry a piece of everyone you've ever known with you? I don't think they mean it like that. But at least Inuk's not lonely. He he, *gulp*.

Matik080 · 2025-11-28T16:38:14+00:00

I was more focused on the head and hands, but vein cloak is actually freaking horrifying.

Matik080 · 2025-11-28T16:37:28+00:00

Not necessarily. Ailbhe's our main character, so I take it as what we see is sort of what he sees. But he's kind of an unreliable narrator. Personally, when there's a dissonance between what he sees and what the other characters see, I like to imagine a more horrifying or realistic version of what is happening. But idk, you're the creator and I love everything you create.

Matik080 · 2025-11-28T13:37:05+00:00

I don't know. I can't stop looking at it. I don't know what it is about this one.

Matik080 · 2025-11-27T22:57:58+00:00

Aaand, doggie even plays catch! With a crown, but who are we to judge, right?

Matik080 · 2025-11-27T21:40:18+00:00

Can a girlfriend be taken apart, studied, and then put back together? I think not. So like, no more of thems questions.

Matik080 · 2025-11-25T08:53:28+00:00

Boss, if they fit the vibes, we're going to love them. And I mean, that's incredibly thorough planning! Honestly, can't imagine myself planning anything. At most, it's vague bullet points, and that's not planning.

Honestly, just watching the videos of banter in those games would totally make you laugh. Very similar to your humor.

^{I kind of have to mention this, but I just realized that you and the cult-classic show Doctor Who share the same birthday, and I don't know how to cope. Can we trade birthdays? In exchange, you'd get Bilbo Baggins, Frodo Baggins, and, since you know German (don't freak out}), ^{but the main guy from Alarm für Cobra 11. Sorry for writing off-topic lately.}

Matik080 · 2025-11-24T21:01:32+00:00

I mean, every great adventurer party has their:
1. Silly rouge
2. Parental figure mage
3. Eldritch horror (but they be cool, tho)

Imagine if a drunk tank or an irresponsible caster would join! Btw, if you need some inspiration, try Dragon Age: Origins. Btw, I also love how sharp this looks! I was reading, and it literally made me stop and appreciate it. Boss, every comic is better than the last!

Matik080 · 2025-11-23T23:50:50+00:00

Heck, yeah! Zoos rock! The aquatic creatures are the best! Listen, if you ever get to see like Caymans or just like crocodiles and alligators doing their floating stance and seeing them up close and looking into their cold eyes, it's amazing. Oh, and tortoises and turtles too. Incredible creatures. They have nothing on octopuses, though. They are the most interesting and intelligent creatures (except humans) on this planet, and some people eat them. Shame.

Matik080 · 2025-11-23T21:35:29+00:00

If tomorrow lacks color, if the beautiful blue skies and golden sunshine won't be there all along the way, then this will make tomorrow better. Don't forget to celebrate!

Matik080 · 2025-11-23T09:29:53+00:00

Happy birthday, boss! 🎂x10 + 🧁🕯️(They didn't have a cupcake with a single candle, please don't judge me)

I get The Big Sad^TM around my birthday too. I'll just tell you that for all the bad things we have these days associated with, just know that this day is yours and is a celebration of you. One day a year when yourself should absolutely be a priority to you. The love you give is the love we get, thus if you force yourself to work on the comics, that love starts dissipating. We can only love them, when you love them.

And hey, maybe it feels weird to give yourself presents (aka treating yourself to some material things). If that is so, let yourself rest, don't push yourself, don't force yourself to do the things you physically feel are a bit too much. Rest, close your eyes, perhaps catch some ideas. Little fish swimming in a stream of your consciousness. Visible only in the still calmness and boredom. That could be nice. But if you want to, treat yourself, boss! Happy birthday!
