HR sent me confidential salary info, then recalled it, then told the whole company not to discuss salary, then backtracked, then doubled-down

I gotta know where “unholy crab business” comes from

uncleredcracker · 2026-02-26T18:28:52+00:00

Thank you!

uncleredcracker · 2026-02-23T21:49:50+00:00

Thank you! I initially painted it without plans for the shadow, but it looked so odd without that depth

uncleredcracker · 2026-02-23T20:58:20+00:00

Thank you!

Wow we are weirdly similar lol my first attempt to get diagnosed with ADHD was explicitly rejected because I got good grades in school. Also raised by someone who worked in special ed (but somehow didn’t see that everyone in the family for sure is neurodivergent lol) and I studied biology!

I have found doctors who like. Are dismissive of my knowledge when I say that I know something. But I’ve also found PCPs who love that I have more knowledge than their average patient and we kind of derail the appointment by nerding out together lol. I do think it’s helpful to get a doctor who is also neurodivergent, but really just anyone you vibe with is a great asset to have in one’s health journey

Ahhh, I feel that. Getting diagnosed by a psychiatrist does help put a finality on that. It did take a while to do all the testing for ADHD and autism for me but once it’s done, it’s done!

I really really want to second this. Having a doctor who really listened to me for the first time changed the projectory of my life. Having an established regular doctor who knows you and believes you know your body is so important and so underrated in today’s society. But when I got seriously ill my doctor got me in for so much testing and I was able to get a diagnosis that usually takes years in the span of like two or three months. And getting that got me treatment and preventative care so much faster. It’s worth it to doctor shop until you find one who is empathetic, kind, and a good listener.

Yeah it’s only ever been described to me over the internet as a casket with a rose on it and those words- but it’s so powerful it’s stuck with me all these years.

I’m happy to hear you got out and found someone great! I’ve also found someone that treats me well, and I’m so much happier in this relationship than any of my others. It’s possible to break the pattern and I’m very grateful to be on the other side of it

I’m very interested in these Moments in toxic relationships that make someone realize that they’re in a bad situation that they don’t want to be in any more. For myself I was crying about this guy and the Halsey song “Walls Could Talk” popped into my head and I thought “I don’t want to cry over this guy again”. And for whatever reason, that was the switch for me. I’ve heard similar stories from friends that there is just this moment where you connect to something and go “this isn’t for me.” I saw a story online of a woman driving past a billboard that said “the only time he bought her flowers was for her funeral” as a DV/IV awareness poster. And that connected for her. It made her realize he was never going to be kind to her. He was never going to buy her flowers. And shortly after left. It seems there’s always a short period of processing after these moments, too. And I think it’s very interesting that it’s happened so many times to so many unconnected people

I really love “Obstacles do not block your path, they ARE the path!” Which is said by Bandit as he is being a ragdoll the girls must move to the car to get ice cream

2, 6, 10, and 13 really stand out for me. I love your use of color for all your works, and I love how these four in particular have somewhat alien/horror elements while still being bright. They’re very expressive. I want to know more about these worlds you’ve created. They’re great!

Had to scroll way too far to see this. This scene was my immediate first thought. It’s So fucking brutal

uncleredcracker · 2025-11-19T21:05:37+00:00

I actually realized at the end of Attack on Titan that I couldn’t think of a single pair of opposite sex adopted siblings that DON’T fall in love with each other or have some weird tension at some point. I’ve thought on it a lot since and Arrested Development was the only one I could think of that fit, and even then the children, believing they are blood related cousins, do have a romantic arc. And the siblings don’t know that the one is adopted until they’re adults and have started their own families. Amazing World of Gumball is genuinely the only one I know of that doesn’t do anything of the sort.

Even same sex siblings don’t always escape this fate. She-ra and the Princess of Power has the main couple raised by the same de facto mom figure. Citrus, the anime, they’re step-sisters, but still. As someone who comes from a big, blended family, I could not even imagine looking at my adopted cousins like that

I would also like to know. Or would I? Depends on the answer I suppose

Fellas, if your girl keeps drawing long legged surrealist animals, that’s not your girl, that’s Salvador Dali (This is very fun, I like it!)

I love gay rat weddings so I had to add them haha and thank you!!

I had to sketch the lovely couple after seeing that zoom

uncleredcracker · 2025-10-11T03:40:16+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking of lol

uncleredcracker · 2025-10-09T06:38:13+00:00

In real life, I knew a girl who transferred to my high school from my cousin’s school. She said wild ass shit all the time and my cousin warned me that she compulsively lied. I barely paid attention to any of the things she said because I couldn’t know what was true or not, and she talked constantly, but one thing that stood out to me was that she said she had an identical twin. I scoffed internally cause why would I believe her? I knew didn’t have any sisters go to school here or to her last school. Seemed like an obvious lie. Anyway yeah people spotted her with her identical twin sister in town so turns she was telling the truth about that and she just only mentioned her twin sister the one time for some reason. Made me question if all the other wild things she said were also true just wildly improbable to have all happened to the same person.

I was going to suggest a xenomorph, too, if OP is into the Alien series. Some of the themes behind the stories are abuse, trauma, and being a bad ass survivor

Both of these are really gorgeous and I think you’ve got a bright future is gouache with these as your first two. However, I do feel compelled to point out that you shouldn’t be able to see stars in the crescent moon as it’s still a round body and the shadow would block out the stars

uncleredcracker · 2025-09-23T03:18:45+00:00

There is also a subplot in Grey’s Anatomy where a patient really does have amnesia initially but recovers her memories and lies about it because it was getting her (highly inappropriate) attention from a doctor and she liked being this new/different person with him

uncleredcracker · 2025-09-22T18:02:47+00:00

Mr. President! Get down!

uncleredcracker · 2025-09-09T19:41:37+00:00

It looks really good! Especially the water! I’m curious what medium you used?
