I was talking to Shane about this page & he observed that it was a very frank deconstruction of Evrina’s personality type. To which I responded that it’s basically me psychoanalyzing myself. The cast all have bits of me mixed in to them, compartmentalized to make them different beings. People generally assume that Thomas is the one that is the most like the “real” me, but that’s a very surface level, 2007 webcomics critic, view of things. I’m mixed up in all of this, so sometimes the cast is an illustration of me in conflict with myself. The world has taught me to expect betrayal at every turn. Alex is basically explaining the part of me I founded Evrina on. Mixed up with a couple of people I’ve known, to make her. I’m not as bad about this as I was in my youth, but I do still want people to regularly prove that their love, for lack of a better terms, for me is genuine. “Tell me you would miss me if I was gone…” Deep down Evrina doesn’t think she’s worthy of being loved. So she nips at the people who love her, trying to prove herself right. Alex understands that & also understands that there’s no real conviction behind the mean things Evrina says. Evrina would drop everything and rush to Alex’s aid if she needed her. Even if Alex was wrong about something Evrina would back her. Just another illustration of the strange aspects of love & the human mind…

I have been pushing myself to create content faster & more frequently over the last few weeks, trying to get a stronger, more diverse, income stream set up ahead of the fallout of the American presidential election. As with anything I do my results have been slow. I actually started much earlier than the last few weeks, but I’ve been feeling well enough over a long enough period of time that I’ve been ramping things up as best I can. At this moment I’ve been awake for a very long time. So much so that I have fallen asleep sitting here twice. My brain resets a little after I nod off & it takes a few moments for me to remember what I was doing. I’m sure you’ve all been there at one time or another. I wouldn’t tolerate this kind of treatment from someone else, but as my own boss I treat myself terribly. XD
