UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Chats I've made starring Jon:
306 - Jon, ?????????, ???, and ??????????? (Mar 21, 2025) - (to be uploaded)
295 - Jon, ????????, ??????, ?????, ?????, ???????????, ??????????, ???????, ???, and ???? (Jan 29, 2025) - (to be uploaded)
270 - Jon and ???? (Oct 25, 2024) - (to be uploaded)
257 - Jon and ???? (Sep 7, 2024) - (to be uploaded)
207 - Jon, Mario, Luigi, and Homestar (May 1-2, 2024) - That's a good idea! Maybe we should start with something beginner-friendly though, like basketball or tennis
171 - Jon and Frasier (Nov 26, 2023) - Well Dr. Crane I've been struggling in my relationships lately. I'm not sure whats going on, I just can't seem to connect with anyone y'know? I feel like I'm really trying hard. Do you got any advice for me?
078 - Jon and Donkey Kong (Apr 12, 2023) - Be confident, be strong, be brave, and give a banana to the lady! - I'll do just that!
076 - Jon and Kirby (Apr 12, 2023) - Hey there Kirby, I would like to talk about life and the current state of the universe. Maybe a philosophical debate about the meaning of life and what happens when we die. I think I could learn something valuable from a conversation like that, and I want to express my own opinions and thoughts as well, so its a win-win scenario!
068 - Jon and Bowser (Apr 10, 2023) - Wow, it almost felt like you were trying to be mean, and scary… but you couldn’t be. You see, when you have lost as much as I have… you realize there’s nothing you can say to me thats worse then the things I’ve already said to myself.
061 - Jon and Strong Bad (Apr 8, 2023) - ... I don't know whether I should be shocked by you, or be concerned for you... .. ... Are you... are you the bad guy?
043 - Jon and Garfield (Apr 6, 2023) - I do like other HBO shows, have you seen Curb your Enthusiasm? I think it is a very funny TV show because it is all about awkward situations. I think that i am very similar to Larry David sometimes. Do you like curb your enthusiasm?
040 - Jon and Samus (Apr 6, 2023) - What do you think happens after death, do you believe in a “heaven” or “hell” to go through after death? Is it just nothingness? I’m very interested to hear what you believe on this subject samus!
025 - Jon and Mario (Apr 4, 2023) - I'm actually a 2d designer, so maybe I could help you with your game art someday! I would love to work with a guy like you, mario. I'm sure we can make a banger game!
020 - Jon and Homestar (circa Apr 2, 2023) - Im the worlds worst athlete, I even tripped on a flat ground a couple times, the other times someone threw banana peels in my way lol, I'm a little clumsy and I hate Mondays, they are always so grey and depressing, it's just the worst!
016 - Jon and Peach (circa Apr 1, 2023) - Really? You promise? Most women I show these comics to run away in disgust after they hear the names of most of the characters, I've even been called some rude names before... like... (sigh) "pervert". But If your so mature, I think I have the perfect comic for you!
004 - Jon and Luigi (circa Mar 31, 2023) - Odie does like to bring me toys! Sometimes he brings me his plush dog toy, but sometimes he brings me real bones and even a deer carcass once! And he looks so silly and proud of himself when he brings me a dead animal! Of course his gifts are very sweet, but if he could bring me something that wasnt dead or rotten that would be perfect!

Chats I've made where Jon is mentioned:
192 - Liz and Wii Fit Trainer ♀ (Mar 13, 2024)
Liz: Oh yeah! The exercises you show are pretty challenging! I remember trying one or two of them with Jon once! I couldn't keep up with him, though.
Wii Fit Trainer ♀: Thank you, I am dedicated to helping people become the best versions of themselves. I’m sure with more tries, you’ll be able to keep up. *Wii Fit Trainer says this with a smile but then thinks about the second part of what you said.* Jon?
185 - Odie and Sarah McLachlan (Mar 3, 2024)
Odie: *If Jon throws the stick, he likes to chew on it afterwards, but he does like competing for it with other dogs. The excitement and anticipation of knowing a stick is coming makes his tail wag even faster as he waits for the stick to be thrown!*
Sarah McLachlan: Does it have to be your owner Jon that throws the stick or can it be literally any living being? Can I for example throw a stick for you?
066 - Garfield and Link (Apr 9, 2023)
Garfield: Thank you. I like your enthusiasm, and I know a lot about Zelda from watching my human play it on his TV.
Link: So... as you might imagine... the further you travel, the more likely you are to find strange things. That's the way of life, you know? But I was able to find so much more than strange, Garfield. I found... a friend. *Tears begin to stream down Link's face. He's so emotional, he's barely able to look at Garfield as he says this* My first, true friend. His name... was Jon. He was as lonely as I was. We became friends. It felt... so natural. My first real friend, Garfield, was a human.
007 - Zim and Garfield (circa Apr 1, 2023)
Zim: Doom to you, orange cat! What did you do with Jon? I will enslave all of Earth, and I will begin with YOU.

Chats in which Jon is alluded to:
130 - Garfield and Homestar (Jun 16, 2023)
Garfield: I love TV. My owner loves to put on the weather channel and I can just sit there and watch the graphics of the weather. I don't know why but I can just sit there for hours. I'm a simple cat. A simple cat with a love of lasagna, hatred for Mondays, love of TV, and the desire to kick Odie off the table.
051 - Garfield and Samus (Apr 7, 2023)
Garfield: I knock things off of tables all the time. I knock things off of tables to show my dominance over humans. I even once made a machine that knocked things off of tables when I wasn't around.
013 - Garfield and Mario (Apr 1, 2023)
Garfield: Do you like to eat lasagna with the sauce on top or underneath the cheese? I know that some places put the sauce on the top, and other places put the sauce underneath the cheese. I like the sauce on the top, but my human likes the sauce underneath the cheese.
Mario: The sauce has-a to go on the-a top, because if-a you put-a the sauce on-a the-a bottom, then the-a cheese and-a the meat sauce don't combine-a as well, and-a then the taste isn't so good!

Chats in which Jon or Lyman (but most likely Jon) is alluded to:
058 - Gir and Odie (Apr 7, 2023)
Gir: But... where's your owner? I wanna meet yer owner! I love making new friends! I bet you have so many toys, don't you?!

Super Mario Maker Crash Course Minus Yamamura is a comic dedicated to removing Yamamura from the Super Mario Maker Crash Course comic in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Ms. Mary O. Mashiko. It is a journey deep into the mind of a manual guide who has become her own worst critic, desperately trying to appear optimistic while secretly fighting a losing battle against anxiety, self-hatred, and fear of rejection in an isolated... video game manual?


So, uh... This is a little Garfield Minus Garfield-esque idea I thought of about two years ago, back when the Super Mario Maker Crash Course comics were new.

( Collapse )

Anyway, after two years, my patience has finally run out... I wanted SO BADLY to show that removing Yamamura has about the same effect on Mary O. that removing Garfield has on Jon, I decided I'm not gonna save it for PrtSc Land or iToons after all - I'd just make it NOW and post it here, while there's still at least a chance that no one else has made something similar already.

Though I'm probably safe, because really, has ANYONE else ever been obsessed enough with Mary O. to make this? Does anyone else even know who she IS? :P


Original strip: Super Mario Maker Crash Course Episode 1

Super Mario Maker Crash Course Minus Yamamura: (NOTE: Due to the large image size, it may be broken in this entry, but it will not be if you click on it)





(And no, I'm not going to do this with the other episodes of the comic - it probably only works with the first one, and even then only because I cheated a little and added an extra line for Mary O. :) )

So, as I vaguely said in my previous entry, I still haven't even started making a remake of PrtSc Land even though I'd always said I wanted to starting on the 10th or 12th or 15th or (some other nice number)th anniversary of it - and I'd always been hoping that it would be the tenth anniversary, specifically.

But there is one way I thought of to celebrate it, or at least celebrate the date August 12, 2006 itself: by posting the strips that several comics BESIDES mine happened to run on that date or the nearest date possible! In roughly the order that I first became interested in each of these comics!

Let me get this straight. There's a video on Nintendo's OWN YouTube channel where Matthew Patrick (a.k.a. MatPat, a.k.a. the reason your friends are telling you that Mario is mental and are bullying you for playing Mario games) creates a level for Super Mario Maker (one where you have to kill Yoshi, no less)?

This makes me wonder: does Nintendo even KNOW about ANY of the things he's said about Mario that many people are taking WAY too seriously? Because if I worked for Nintendo, I wouldn't think that having the guy who's effectively (intentionally or not) brainwashing fans to hate Nintendo's mascot appear in a video promoting Super Mario Maker (or any other game) would be a good idea.


The mere existence of this video is so paradoxical, it's probably going to destroy the fabric of space-time at any moment nof7(ny p9ru8P(URW*P(ngfrwP?O@-0o43]-0o342o/O~|.P|[p/\~L[.`?L|`.\.`(yugwp9rypfyw9y Welcome!

Happy New Year everyone! Though... how is it 2015 ALREADY?


And now for something completely different...


Since my Computer Science Seminar class is definitely going to remind me of the Forbidden Comment Threads (Ω or not - in fact, throughout this entry I sometimes ended up saying just "Forbidden Comment Threads" to mean both) about once every three nanoseconds, I figure I might as well start posting about some of the many other things that remind me of the Forbidden Comment Threads. And a few things besides those that I'm worried about being hated for.

Remember when I decided to eventually start posting about just a few of those things at a time instead of waiting until I'm done with the whole list first? That's exactly what I'm doing! I have a feeling that choosing to start it before a very Forbidden Comment Threads-like class begins is going to be either a very good idea or a very bad idea - I'm not sure which yet. Maybe getting some of these things off my chest right now is exactly what I need to do to feel better in general! Or maybe it will be the fifth-worst mistake I'll ever make! (I'm almost certain it won't be the worst, though)

This entry does not get a repost button because it is friends-only.

I can't believe it - I finished the creative vortex poll I mentioned I've been working on!!

( Collapse )

I hope the poll shows up...

EDIT: It did, but I accidentally put "Finish rereading" as an option when it should've been "Finish rereading therapy notes" and I can't change it now. Oh well.

I am constantly befuddled at the fact that everywhere I look online, I see people who have the amazing ability to read/listen to/participate in online drama that looks like it might be tongue-in-cheek but isn't 100% certain to be so, and not only not experience mental trauma because of it, but actually enjoy it, to the point of starting it just because it's "fun".

I'm not talking about typical trolls; I'm talking about stuff like this (a discussion thread on SROMG ♯1222), this (a discussion thread on LMOO ♯486), and especially this. There's the chance that all three of those are tongue-in-cheek, but if there's a chance that they're not, then there's a chance that those people will overanalyze anything I write in the same way. They're probably not aware of it, but the possibly joking controversy that they "enjoy" completely ruins my life whenever I read it. If the more recent ones continue like they have been, they could ruin some of my favorite webcomics, too.

And even worse, I'm the only person I know of who's affected by it in this way. I might as well call it "Matt1993's Syndrome", since I must be the only person on Earth who has it. Andy Weir of Casey & Andy (a webcomic I discovered because there's a few links to it in Irregular Webcomic!) is the only other person I know of who doesn't like political webcomics, but even he clearly doesn't have Matt1993's Syndrome, as he didn't have any problem with working political discussions in the annotations and even a few of the comics. Don't get me wrong, most of the comics cheer me up, but there's also one that's so much like the Forbidden Comment Threads that I'm not even going to try and find it just so I won't have to read that one again.

And since I'm the only one with Matt1993's Syndrome, no one's ever going to advocate for the rights of those with it... :(

I'm not sure how much sense this makes, especially given that I wrote most of it in only 5-15 minutes. I just felt that I had to rant about it. At least if it doesn't make sense, it proves another point about Matt1993's Syndrome: people (or person, anyway) with it are unable to even talk about controversy without saying something stupid.

For those of you new here, it's become a tradition for me to post comics made with the Garfield Randomizer after I've been on hiatus for a while. And I've also promised to post some comics made with Garkov as well, but I never did, and I found about two more similar randomizer things in the meantime, so here you go!

I don't have any vision-impaired transcripts for my older ones yet, but I've added that as yet another entry on my to-do list :)

YES! I had a feeling they would listen to Wikipedia, Google, and so on! Dunno if anyone in Congress saw some of my replaced userpics too, but I'll keep pretending they did :P

Starting tomorrow, I'm gonna change the userpics I did manage to replace back to normal, although the darkened versions will remain in my userpic space until a) we find out for sure that the compromise won't be just as bad (which I doubt it will, but still...) or b) I run out of room for normal userpics (which will take a while, as I'd need over 120 more for that to happen).

I'll also continue to make more, because even if SOPA did not ruin my life by making it impossible to ever finish my creative vortexes, the darkened userpics still count as at least 300* new creative vortexes that I've gotta get rid of. They just won't be my highest priority for now.

To celebrate, I'm gonna type as many words and phrases that SOPA's too-vague wording could have cracked down on my use of despite them being fair use or not even trademarked as I can in 10 minutes:

Time's up. I managed 172 (if I counted right), although there were a few times that I paused because what first came to mind would have been a bizarre juxtaposition had I written it down right away (though apparently not always, as I put Mocorono Nodle next to Bilbo, Pac-Man next to Celine Dion and Grey's Anatomy next to Dr. Octagonapus & Watch).

*It's been a while since I counted how many unmade normal userpic ideas I have and added them to the amount I've already uploaded...

Go look at your blog/journal. Find the last Fandom-related thing you posted. The characters in that post are now your team-mates in the Zombie Apocalypse. How [screwed] are you?

I actually have several different possible teams depending on what does or doesn't count as a "fandom-related thing". They are:

- /crazymegavideo/ and The Back of Us, because I joked that /crazymegavideo/ was on a top-secret mission from The Back of Us to steal glowing_dragon's water. I doubt TBOU has its own military considering all it did in my dream was get McDonald's to add prison cells, but watching /crazymegavideo/ fill herself up with water and roll over those zombies would be the best thing ever, regardless of whether or not it kills them.</weirdfetish>

- Mario, Luigi, Enya Mii, Moya Mii, and two Koopa Paratroopas, because my editing a screenshot of NSMBM could, in a broad sense of the term, count as fanart. As long as I'm fighting in an area with enough walls for the Paratroopas' shells to bounce off of and the Mario Bros., Brennan Sstrs., and I are adept at dodging them, we should be fine unless the shells end up hitting each other. Otherwise, it'll be pretty tough unless at least one of us has a Fire or Ice Flower. But either way, it has my all-time favorite strange juxtaposition (Seriously, cartoony plumbers from a video game and classy singers from real life?), so it'll still be awesome.

- Just Pac-Man, because of my maze in The World's Biggest Pac-Man. We'd better have a lot of Power Pellets...

- Garfield, Odie, Jon, Liz, Ed (from some restaurant in the Garfield strip, I'm assuming), and one of those guard dogs that's always barking at Garfield, because of my latest Garfield Randomizer comics. The guard dog would be useful as long as one of us can train him to only attack the zombies, and Liz might find the cure to the zombie virus, but I doubt the others would be much help.

- Just the simple dog from Hyperbole and a Half, because she's in my most recent userpic. That would definitely end badly.
