I kinda like shooting alone, I have a spot in the forest.
The list reading and shooting idea was for my anniversary, but I had stated that I would do it when we reached 200 and we have reached that point and beyond it.
I had hoped I could do it during our anniversary which is in winter time so we could have snow, but I guess the sun isn't so bad.
I have all the equipment I need, all that is left is for me to make it happen.

I'm calling it now, SS is gonna be the matrix.
That image isn't enough.
Only because Yuu ate all her food and now she's malnourished.
Given that Chii said Yuu didn't die, heaven is just a restaurant name and the angel wings are just a costume, it makes me think that it might not be an afterlife and insteat, like with Girl's last tour, the name is once again literal and that Shimeji Simulation is actually an Simulation, maybe a matrix-like situation.
Julian Adams
Girl's last tour is the dream, Shimeji Simulation is the real life. And tkmz is a cute 30 year old cake. Thank you.

I translated a bit of tkmiz's old blog. My japanese is pretty shit, so sentences preceded with * are those whose exact meaning I'm unsure about (although the gist of the sentence should be exact). Delivering a bit more next month, unless a better nipfag can do it.
web.archive.org
>2012/6/1
I established the site. If the blog ends up being unneeded, I'll close it down after a little while.
>2012/6/7 Summer Comiket Rejection
First update since the site was set up.
I was rejected from Summer Comiket. Acceptance rates for the touhou genre are high, generally falling to about 1/2 (Really?). I was accepted last winter comiket, so I guess that's that.
I still have 3 comikets left for the remainder of my uni years, along with one ReiTaiSai.
I wonder if I'll be able to continue my doujin activities once I'm a working adult... aah, God, give me a moratorium.
That being said, I bought CLIPPEINT [tn: clip studio paint] recently. Although I was thinking of buying ComicStudio for a long time, I ended up doing that.
It's nice that it's easy to use. That's my feeling after comparing it thoroughly to SAI in various ways. The only demerit compared to Sai seems to be that a few [actions/gestures] are slow.
*However, well, I think the required specs are quite light despite it being 64-bit dual-core compatible. [Is that so?]
I've been considering adding some extra RAM to my baby before long. The truth is that I have nothing but 4g right now. Oh dear~.
Pic related is a test drawing of Nyan Nyan [tn: Seiga Kaku from touhou] made using clippe. Wicked hermits are nice, aren't they... [tn: Seiga's character species]
[I assume the pic is danbooru.donmai.us
Liam Miller
>2012/6/23
I got into twitter.
*I won't follow much until I get used to it. I may not do it even after getting used to it.
I was thinking about regularly uploading [plain/bland] sketches there.
Afterwards, I'll announce events and new publications there.
twitter.com
By the way, this child is shimeji-chan.
*I feel like she'd usually live in a closet. Comparatively, I've been going to college recently.
>2012/7/28 Oil Painting
I drew an oil painting as a college assignment.
It's the third or fourth piece I've made using oil paint, but it feels like I've finally started to handle the drawing tools well.
Eventually, I'd like to be able to draw moe pictures like I do digitally, While making full use of the advantages of oil painting.
I think I'll draw a touhou character after this or something like that. If I have time.
*In the process of improving my drawings, I draw various things and use various techniques, and I think that's the most important and only thing.
Color CG illustrations. Manga. Ero manga. Animation. Pencil drawings. Oil painting.
That way, you can see from various angles what matter most when expressing things in two dimensions.
You'll get bored if you only do the same things.
"A triangular composition is created in the bottom-left and the balance is not good, and the red motif at the top is too close" is my professor's criticism.
*Tests, reports, and such are almost over and I'll be able to rest a bit, although I've been thinking of continuing the production of [a/the] video.

>2012/8/10 Winter Comiket Submission
*It's dawn right now... I've just completed my winter comiket application while deep in thought in a room with AC.
*I wanted to go to summer comiket too.. but my circle was rejected, and because this year's summer is busy, I can only go on a regular trip there, but can't afford to stay overnight...
I'll go to melonbooks as a replacement.
This time, I'll try drawing the circle cut [tn: small pictures drawn for convention catalogs] with two tones. Looking at the web version make me a little nervous, but the actual printed version is much smaller so it should be okay.
*Since I was thinking of drawing this time's book with 2 tones only, that will be practice as well. Doujin magazines are full of gre7yscale manga now, and of course after printing they put on airs[?], but I think two-tone manuscripts are much more manga-like. Don't you think so?
In addition, due to some developments, I also applied to a certain manga award competition, so that remains in consideration as well.
That being said, this time's pic was drawn using CLIP STUDIO PEINT[sic], and due to that, usability is slightly awkward in some places (probably only because I'm not used to it). Indeed, if you're regularly drawing manga, you should probably buy ComiSta [nt: ComicStudio]...
Which reminds me that the EX version is coming out in fall, upgrading would be good.
Right now, there are still a lot of rough parts, so ComiSta still outweighs it when it comes to a lot of features, I wonder if that means CliSta will be fully forward-compatible? u一mu.
I just learned earlier how you can tonalize layers from the layer properties. I'd have used a little more gradation for this circle cut if I knew about it.
Well, whatever.
Nicholas Rivera
Everything in that picture is wrong.
Luis Diaz
>2012/9/22 Posted my video
I posted `Scarlet Interlude Mansion's Everyday Life 4` on nico nico douga. [dead link, reupload: youtube.com
[tn: literally 紅間家, Koumakan with the kanji for devil replaced with the one for gap/space/pause]
*Despite thankfully finishing this, there are plenty of places where I think, should I just conclude by throwing it all out? (abort it?) I'm glad I did it in the end.
*In the beginning, a year and half had passed since the submission of part 1. At first, I thought about the kind of purpose I was trying to raise up in the video, and mostly forgot about it.
*It may have been the first time I made and uploaded on NND a proper movie - or at least the first time I really felt like that. There was almost no intention to make a second episode at this point.
*Well, everything that you say on the path is appropriate [??]. Both talking and drawing are appropriate. Well, I hope you can watch it to kill time.
... although... if I had time to make it a little more slowly...
Forcing an ending left me a little bit regretful. However, there's no point in making excuses. That, as well, is part of my true capacity, isn't it.
If I end up making a new work, I'd like to create a PV matching a song. Something like the short story of Flandre-chan becoming a flashy bitch [?]. This is only a vague idea, though.
Aah, I want to do better at animations. I'm more comfortable with AE and the likes.
Despite saying that, I'll start an original manga from tomorrow onwards, will have to stop during October since I will be swamped with work and unable to do anything, as well as November if I go to winter comi since I'll have to make a new book.
There's just no time for a new video. How sad.
"Getting accepted at winter comi would be niceー" is what I'll think today while sleeping. Tahaha.

Ryan Flores
Yuu, she's really smart! I wonder if those fields at the end of their journey are the same fields being investigated and the government knows people appear from there
Connor Sanders
user I think you might be onto something, I also wonder if the black stone things are maybe related to the cube from the end of SSR.
We're still pretty early on in SS so tkmiz could still take the story in many different ways, if he keeps it as a SOLwithout a central story, that'd be ok, but I'd love it if we actually got some more in depth story that had an actual connection to SSR, other than just reoccurring characters.
I think the last chapter pretty much invalidates the after-life theory, so my bets now are on it being a computer simulation, Girl's last tour was a literal name, so I'm willing to bet Shimeji Simulation is too.
Sebastian Hall
I'm not sure, the black stones definitely seem like they might be important though. Depending on if the potatoes actually died or not I think the whole thing with the spirit fishing and certain fields being stronger may be related to them dying, with the possibilities of stronger fields allowing the dead to come back. Maybe the whole distortion thing will allow us to find out?
As you said though, it depends on the direction of the story and what tkmiz wants to do. I think it'll be interesting either way, even if it becomes some weird government conspiracy fighting story
Brandon Moore
>weird government conspiracy fighting story
Tkmiz would be the perfect mangaka to make Alex Jones the manga.
But seriously now, if SS is a simulation, that could mean every character inside SS is just an ai, just some code, or it could be a matrix situation, wherein the people are real, if that's the case I wonder if everyone is real or if there are some people that are only simulated. Because the thing is, any way I look at it, I can't really see how the potatoes would get to SS after the end of SSR, so my thought is that maybe SS is something one of the robots from SSR made to pass the time, or to preserve humanity (kind of like the Talos Principle if you played that game), maybe the robot that made the simulation came across the potatoes when they were traveling, so it decided to add them, this would explain why SS-potatoes know nothing about dying at the end of SSR.
Or maybe it's less sci-fi and instead more esoteric, maybe in the tkmiz-verse souls exist and they can travel between worlds, this could be the distortions, maybe the black stones act like beacons, allowing the souls to reincarnate into a new world, but without their memories.
Even if there'll be no explanation and tkmiz instead makes it just about the interactions between the characters, that'd be cool too, I feel like everything he touches turns to gold. I hope we get some actual interactions between the taters and the new girls, I feel like that could lead to some humorous situations, the little comedy there is in SS actually feels well done to me (also props to tl user). Yuu trying to eat Egg's egg could be funny, I also feel like Chii would get along well with Shimeji-chan's sister.
Zachary Garcia
Sort of.
I'm going to film myself shooting one round for each of the reasons of the list while saying them aloud.
Brayden Kelly
The "Simulation" part being literal is an interesting idea, though I'm still unsure of that, especially with the mention of death from Yuu. Maybe whatever happened at the end caused them to experience something Yuu interpreted as death? It's also possible that the box contains the simulation itself. I'm leaning a little towards the spirit idea though with the mention of the ghost fish, unless Shimeji's sister is just crazy. Either way I can't wait for more
Jack Wright
That could be pretty cool, you'd just have to be careful about the audio levels, I noticed that in some gun videos, in order to compensate for the loud shooting, they bring the volume down and it then becomes difficult to hear what people are saying.
I'm assuming you'd want to shoot the arisaka, I'm no expert, but wouldn't shooting 233 rounds of 6.5 be expensive? As far as I know that stuff isn't easy to come by, I know there's reloading, but 233 is a lot.
Colton Allen
Not gonna lie that sounds pretty autistic
Austin Martin
My idea that it's a simulation is just based on the title alone, nothing in the story so far suggested it to be the case, just because GLT was literal, it doesn't mean SS will, it's just a guess.
>especially with the mention of death from Yuu
This is what makes me think SS isn't an afterlife, because it is immediately shut down by Chii and we find out Yuu just said it metaphorically to refer to how tired she felt after her long shift. I think tkmiz must have put it there specifically to imply SS isn't an afterlife.
>It's also possible that the box contains the simulation itself.
Could be, in the very final panel where we see just the helmets in front of the cube, the cube has some writing on it that does look vaguely computer-robot-y.
>I'm leaning a little towards the spirit idea though with the mention of the ghost fish, unless Shimeji's sister is just crazy.
I get the feeling sis isn't crazy and that she's onto something. There is also the possibility that it's a mixture of both a simulation and some spirit-travel/reincarnation, that could be interesting.
> Either way I can't wait for more
Same, honestly out of all the ongoing manga I'm reading, SS is the one I look forward to the most every month.

I don't speak Okinawa Fukushima, so I've no idea what's going on in them, but it seems they were made by tkmiz.
Maybe someone who does can explain what it is about ?
Logan Watson
Do you guys think the potatoes and or shimeji/egg will die again at the end of SS?
Elijah Perez
Who knows? I can't wait until SS has a couple volumes out and we really get a sense of where the story (if there is one) is going, I bet it will be really interesting, knowing tkmiz.

Noah Gutierrez
I brought this up in a thread last month, but the (possibly non-canon) prequel actually kind of explains the "meaning" of shimeji mushrooms in the series-- since they grow so close together, they are a symbol not wanting to be lonely, which is fitting because they grew on Shimeji at the same time that she decided that she wanted to return to school. Shimeji has finally gone back to school and made a friend, and there are a few characters tkmiz has posted on twitter who seem likely to become a part of the main group in SS (like tako-chan). As she continues to grow closer to others, maybe the title means that their closeness will become a "simulation" of the closeness of shimeji mushrooms, rather than the series being about a computer simulation of Shimeji the person. I guess technically "Shimeji Emulation" might be a more accurate title in that case, but then tkmiz isn't a native english speaker (and it's not as alliterative).
Josiah Campbell
>which is fitting because they grew on Shimeji at the same time that she decided that she wanted to return to school.
I don't think it specifically says that, does it? Just that they started growing sometime during her two years in the closet, she just didn't notice because she hadn't looked in a mirror for two years.
That's just a nitpick though, even Shimeji wonders if her Shimeji are a metaphor.

It's all worth it for Yuuri.

Yuu is the kind of person who notices the big picture while missing the small details, she is probably the only person who remembers dying...
even Chito probably doesn't remember despite dying right next to her
Oliver Hill
I wonder if they actually did die or if the machine they were near transported them in some weird way that seemed like death to Yuu
Nicholas Brooks
I think this is just a retarded version of Yuu.
Kevin Kelly
Yuu was always retarded, I am glad she learned how to read in the simulation tho

Leo Campbell
Tkmiz recommend "Kodama Maria bunngaku shuusei"
to-ti.in
Xavier Nguyen
Dominic Rodriguez
That could be a good explanation, SSR was about getting along with hopelessness, maybe SS will be about dealing with loneliness. inb4 SS turns into Komi-san
I never played any of the touhou games, or any related media, so I don't really know anything about it. but flan being tkmiz's waifu makes sense, I know he made the doujin about her.
Tkmiz has the power to bring incredible sadness, but also to bring incredible happiness, this truly speaks to the quality of his work.
>I finished GLT today
Nice, welcome to the club buddy, stay a while and post about fish with us.
>The Egg came out of an egg, but the Egg doesn't have an egg on her head.
>The Egg hatched as an high school girl.
What's going on, she claims she has a normal human family and was born with the egg on her head. Now that I think about it, we've never seen her family, something doesn't match up hmmmmmmmmmmm.
Sleep tight user, these threads are the best.

The simulation breaks and they wake up outside the matrix.

Is this a prequel building up to the apocalypse from Shoujo Shuumatsu or is it unrelated outside of a few Chii and Yuri cameos?

We don't know, though a prequel seems unlikely, I'd say it's either unrelated or a sequel.
Alexander Lee
>Sequel
So these people are somehow connected to the mushrooms or a world envisioned in their image.
Isaac Richardson
Well one theory was that SS is the afterlife, but that seems unlikely after Chii said that Yuu didn't die in chapter 5 of SS, but what I think is most likely is that SS is a simulation, the hint is in the name. How the girls got into the simulation, I don't know, we'll see. Maybe it's a simulation run by some robot from the SSR world that encountered the potatoes. We don't know yet, and maybe tkmiz will never explain it, we'll just have to wait and see.
Benjamin Nelson
So is tkmiz trans or not
Jaxon Perry
tkmiz is cute
Nicholas Richardson
I've seen to evidence to show that he is, so I'd say no.
Thomas Adams
*no evidence
Logan Bennett
>but that seems unlikely after Chii said that Yuu didn't die in chapter 5 of SS
Do people in the afterlife necessarily know they are dead?
Brody Watson
Good question, I would say that people in the afterlife probably should remember their past life, but obviously tkmiz could write it to not be the case. Maybe they were reincarnated, with reincarnation people shouldn't retain their memories, so that would match up.
Ryan Ross
What does tkmiz listen to?
Aiden Nelson
Probably some obscure hipster shit, anime and anime vidya soundtracks.
Levi Peterson
My theory: Yuri and Chito are nothing more than a funny reference for people who read SSR.
Isaiah Lee
The Defcon soundtrack: youtube.com
Juan Young
Maybe tkmiz isn't doing this for us, maybe he's doing it for himself, I think he got very attached to the characters himself and wants them to have happy lives.
Jordan Taylor
Jordan Hernandez
I feel like this is going to turn out to be some alternate reality rather than the one where SSR happens and the potatoes die. It's mentioned in one of tkmz's comics at the end of the official comic anthology
mangadex.org
Aaron Nelson
i can believe it
Dylan Thompson
A paralell universe is also feasible, I've read the tkmiz antahology entry. That isn't necessarily mutualy exclusive with the simulation theory though, SS could be an alternative reality that just so happens to be a simulation.
Caleb Young

Jace Ross
No
Michael Green
yes but theyre really not worth the trouble
Noah Miller
I'm not sure, if I can't be heard then I might add it in later, but I want to read the reasons aloud.
Parker Green
Apparently, tkmiz actually pitched at least one manga after SSR that focused on Chito and Yuuri in a different setting, so he probably did just want to do more with the two (but that pitch got rejected). I don't know the specifics, but it's been mentioned in these threads before.
Luis Lewis
That Irisu Syndrome soundtrack is amazing. I still listen to it sometimes.

Hudson Howard
As quickly as possible.

Liam Miller
What if the stone was a time travel machine?
Austin Turner
If you're talking about the one at the end of SSR, I think the main possibilities are that it is a transporter, contains the simulation, or killed the potatoes and allowed them to manifest in SS assuming it activated
Landon Smith
This. I really doubt there is any big overarching plot to "tkmiz universe".
Bentley Moore
How would I do that?
I'm not to familiar with film making.
Jayden Ramirez
Allright, I'll look forward to it.
That could be interesting, and it would even explain the line about Yuu not dying, since if they traveled back in time, that means they didn't die on the highest level.
Ssssssh, let us have our fun speculating.
Lucas Robinson
this scene was nice, i think they'll really be friends soon
Matthew Rivera
I'd say they're friend already, Shimeji is just bad at expressing her emotions. Maybe her character arc will be learning to open up to people and Egg's character arc will be learning to act less childish, sort of a they'll help eachother kind of deal.
The question is if they'll become more than friends.
Noah Sanders
Connor Green
I think this is where I saw it mentioned: boards.fireden.net
There is no source there, and I couldn't find anything obvious by searching for the image or 少女狩猟採集, so it could just be a rumor based on the image.

>少女狩猟採集
Google translates it as Girl hunting and gathering, that's obviously just a play on words with Girl's last tour.
Though it would be kind of interesting to have several unrelated stories in different worlds and times all with the taters. Post-apocalyptic taters, modern world taters, hunter gatherer taters, when do we get wild west taters or medieval taters?

I wonder if we'll ever get the rest of the manga animated. I do think I like the anime slightly more than the manga but not having the entire manga animated sucks.
I also wonder if Shimeji will ever get animated. I think it could be really cool if done well (obviously we have nowhere near enough content yet for even a single cour) but I imagine 4-Koma adaptations take a lot more work than normal manga adaptations.

Think about this: Many of you browsing Yea Forums out there now are adults. Do you realize that at 18, you have lived only 1/4th of your life? When you're lewding a mangaka like that, you're only cheating yourself from the opportunity of having not been embarrassed by doing so and making them uncomfortable, and believe me, if you don't lewd him, you can live your life knowing you respected him, and he respects you as a fan.
Listen, you got at least 3/4ths of your life to go. That's three more lifetimes to you! So don't blow it. Don't lewd Tkmiz. If you're doing it, stop it. Get some help. Chii wants you to give yourself a chance. A chance to find out all the wonderful things you really can do. And so do I.

Jackson Bennett
Are you me user?
Colton Ortiz
There's something about this tkmiz piece that gives me a big sense of comfiness and I don't know what it is.
Jonathan Walker
Psychopathy.
Julian Moore
You have a reason to feel down, though. Your life is probably very empty. Your human interactions even with the closest family members are mundane chatter. There is no reaction, you haven't be thought of real connection. So all you can do to subside it is modern hedonism, which entraps you with its immediate gratification and you can't progress to something long term.
Chase James
And you're projecting but what's your point?
Ryan Walker
I will guess you are not the same person, because he seemed open about his experience, not defensive.
The reason is talking with another human being about the experience of being a human being in the thread of an existential mangaka that provokes this kind of thoughts and discussions.
Levi Williams
Do I get to go to the simulation when I die?
do i get to go when i kill myself?
Sebastian Bennett
No, you go to Gensokyo.
Nicholas Walker
> Your life is probably very empty
> all you can do to subside it is modern hedonism, which entraps you with its immediate gratification and you can't progress to something long term.
Fuck, you're not wrong, but I do wonder if this truly is just a modern problem, who knows maybe Grug the caveman felt the same way, maybe it has less to do with the society we live in and instead it is just human nature.
>The reason is talking with another human being about the experience of being a human being in the thread of an existential mangaka that provokes this kind of thoughts and discussions.
This is the reason we can have tkmiz threads every week, even though tkmiz only releases new manga chapters once a month, the human experience is a botomless well of discussion.
No and no, but if you don't die, you get to read more SS, so you've got that going for you which is nice.
Carson James
>No and no
why can't i get anything in this life
Cooper Ross
>There is no connection/s*, you haven't be taught* of real connection.
To my defence I have been living like a zombie for the last week. Sleep problems.
>I do wonder if this truly is just a modern problem
I can't speak too much of the past. In the present we certainly have our most basic needs mostly dealt with in the first/second world. That leaves us that more vulnerable to the realization of lack of belonging/love and self-actualization. And until you get the relationships you need it is hard to progress to the self-actualization. You go home, perhaps at most say "hello" to your parents and go to your room. They watch TV in silence or at most talking about meaningless shit and interrupting that is not acceptable. (just simple overarching examples) Mostly no one will tell you what to expect of life, what to be careful of, what to seek. No one will hug you and love you like when you were but a baby. We learn from dysfunctional people to be dysfunctional and it becomes worse with every generation. Many of us can't even play the game of pretend of being functional.
If I am off-topic too much, I will stop. Not that I have much else to say, as long as no one else interacts with this post.
But you wanted something from another life.

you make a good point, and i guess that's why the boards can feel like a second home, in a sense.
on that note, for me at least, that also seems to have played a part in this devaluation of in the flesh communication.
the hunch that chatting with strangers online has become the medium of communication that feels the most natural and fulfilling to me says a lot, i think. it's like the language, topics, expressions, humor, and personality of online discourse has established itself as the social frame in which i've come to fit the best. this paired with the filter-less, escapist nature of internet communication has turned it into a place where i feel like i can talk about anything that's on my mind in a way i could never do irl, and with like minded people to match. this, in turn, has made the meat sack that leaves my house in the morning something like an empty shell, with its core only re-emerging by the keyboard.
think all of this play a part in why i can't help but feel like a faulty model. a disqualified human bean

>maybe Grug the caveman felt the same way
Probably not since I assume Grug was content if he could make it through the day without him or one of his tribemembers getting deadly diarrhea or being eaten by a lion or some other shit.
Jackson Miller
>We learn from dysfunctional people to be dysfunctional and it becomes worse with every generation.
That's something I've been wondering about, these days it feels like everyone has some anxiety disorder, attention deficit disorder, suddenly everyone has allergies to everything, suddenly loads of people have gender dysphoria, people suffer from addictions to drugs and hedonistic lifestyles that offer no real sense of meaning. I wonder, is this just a modern problem, or was this just as common in the past, the only thing that's changed is how easy is to spread information about it and how it's become normalized to talk about these issues openly. I don't know, people in the past certainly had many problems and most struggled just to have something to eat, but still, when I read about people from the past, or even watch movies of people from the not so distant past, it feels like even ordinary people had the capacity to do so much, like they were much more well spoken and generally were less shit. When humanity made massive technological leaps in the 19th and early 20th centuries, to me it feels like it improved the quality of life for people. Now, technology is progressing more rapidly than ever, yet it all feels meaningless, and the only thing that feels like it has some worth are some drawings with text in bubbles drawn by some man from the other side of the globe.
end of my stream of consciousness

>i can't help but feel like a faulty model. a disqualified human bean
Damn, I guess we anons here really do think alike, don't we?
Maybe humanity only evolved to deal with the issues of survival and we were never made to deal with excess and luxury and that's why it makes us miserable.
Isaiah Smith
This place again is a fast way to get gratification. It is why it the more popular it became the more popular it became, because the speed of getting a reply made people form other sites come here just for that. It is the fastest gratification around in a way when it comes to communication. And easier to find at least somewhat like-minded people as you don't have the physical restrictions. A reason generals became a thing too. The need of endless stream of certain gratification.
But I am probably just saying things you realize already, considering you mostly said it yourself.
Adrian Diaz
>if you don't die, you get to read more SS
Does that mean I can kill myself when SS ends without consequence?
Joshua Edwards
Tkmiz is probably gonna make another manga after that, so I'd say you can't. Plus you know these threads will be here even after SS ends, don't forget, you are here forever.
John Williams
It is not like we don't know about the past, but it is also a bit biased, because our sources would be the higher classes.
Even if we don't fully believe in Maslow's Pyramid, there is enough true in the fact that you can't strive for more until you have food and security, the basic needs. The serf wouldn't know much about anything. But he worked to get his food and had his family. Perhaps a simple man by today's skewed standards, but he for sure felt more fulfilled by doing his responsibilities. We can hard even point to what responsibilities we have, in fact many of us will screech to have less and less. The Western Enlightenment wasn't some process that the common man experienced much of. It is like a few percent of the whole population, the one that had the possibility to think of such grand and often kind of absurd ideas and conceptions. Sort of like us now.
In the past in a way to get your basic needs you needed the community (the psychological needs) to achieve them. Without the community you wouldn't get your basic needs. That was also your higher purpose pretty much, the natural limit of self-actualization, nothing too grand to be delusional of. In that sense maybe things were a lot more intertwined. Now you can be alone and still eat, drink and have a roof over your head. But because you are alone your psyche suffers, because it has evolved with the idea of "If I am alone, I die". And before you fulfil this, you can't anything else.
When a person has a fulfilling life he is also less vulnerably to things like addiction. Don't need a substitute for the real thing, if you have it. Drug can be so addictive for many people not so much because it makes them feel euphoric, but because it makes them feel "normal".
Also maybe, and this is perhaps the biggest stretch, because we are so self-centred and think we can fix everything within our "individual" self, so all the made up things that people base their existence around to try to feel complete.

How do you guys organize your tkmiz folder, anyway? I've noticed it's too hard to find the pic I'm looking for, having to sort through almost 1,600 files.
Jace Diaz
That one is my favourite too.
I'm the guy who made the mega, so that's how I organize it, I've got all the tkmiz artwork in one big folder and it is a pain to find a specific one, usually I just look though it until I find it, I've thought about naming some of my favourites something to make them easy to search, but I've yet to do it and it would be kind of strange to name art I didn't make.

Blake Smith
You should think really, really long and hard about it before you make that decision. Try to be an objective and "logical" about it as possible and if you come to the conclusion that ending your life is the best option for you, and you have tried to the best of your ability to get better and failed, then I think it's okay to do, yeah. It's a controversial opinion but there are people who will spend most or all of their lives in suffering and would be better off if they didn't have to feel that pain anymore.
Liam Jenkins
i don't believe there is user
as dumb as it sounds if you're dead , you're dead and that's it

Yes, he will never (probably, unless reincarnation is real) feel pain again, but neither will he feel pleasure or anything else. He also gives up any chance of anything getting better and any chance of anything getting worse, death is the great equalizer.

Samuel Peterson
I would try antidepressants first because if it's really that bad there's a chance you have an actual physiological chemical imbalance that's preventing you from enjoying anything. Also if you don't currently work I would recommend getting a part time job or volunteering somewhere because it can be hard to enjoy even the things you like when they're literally all you have to do. Plus that way if you do end up killing yourself you can at least say that you tried playing the normie game and it wasn't for you.

do meds really help? I was always afraid of the idea of it when my old therapist tried to get me on them.
>if you don't currently work I would recommend getting a part time job or volunteering somewhere
I don't know if I can desu
I haven't left the house in so long I don't think I can do anything anymore. I could barely do it before I shut myself in.
Carter Carter
If she loves you I don't think she'll mind.
Not him but they can, but they can also make your life worse or just do nothing at all. If you have nothing to lose then why not try them though?
Levi Sullivan
pills CAN work, but they are not a magical fix, they're more of a aid to make helping yourself less of an effort
Eli Price
>its just your autistic fixation on unrealistic goals
It's not really that, or at least not goals that would seem unrealistic without looking at them extensively. The problem is that a lot of society in general is just fake. All the nice new things that many people own for example, most of those people only own all of that because they're up to their eyeballs in debt and are a missed paycheck away from their lives starting to fall apart. Did you know that 8 year loans are becoming common for people who own newer cars for example? From what I've read, exposure to ridiculous fake lives becomes even worse if you're involved in social media.
Jayden Foster

Mason Foster
I know Yuuri wouldn't mind, but I would feel bad, since we would usually make dinner together.
I think me and Yuuri would have a little house in the country.
I've always wanted to build my own house with her.
I remember my months as a hermit, I wouldn't shower at all.

But I sort of want to make one of my own, I've been trying to perfect my Yuuri drawings so they resemble the Tkmiz artstyle, I think I've been getting close, but I'm missing just a bit of the potato essence that really makes Tkmiz's art unique.
Eli Rivera
What's an SI?
Christian Lewis
It's a self insert, as in a representation of myself.
Nathan Turner
Ah, that's cool, I know someone who gets deviantart commissions of him and his waifu together and they look really good. If you get a daki make sure the picture is really high resolution so it still looks clear when put on a big pillow. I was lucky enough to be able to find some of my waifu because there's tons of pics of her out there. You'll like having a daki a lot.
Liam Foster
i asked you not to kill yourself user all that did was make me concerned for you
John Gomez
Sure you could be greedy and drink all the koolaid yourself, but making the preparations to make every other method of suicide inaccessible to others from beyond the grave for any worthwhile time would be a real challenge.
Caleb Fisher
>got rid of the only friend I ever had
are you me?
is this a normal thing for people inflicted with severe zetsubou?

Yes, very. Abandoning friendships and throwing away/selling items is a common sign of someone getting ready to commit suicide.
Joseph Jenkins
well shit, at least now I feel like less of an asshole.
James Harris
I do have a large pillow that I like to hug when I go to sleep.

The thought makes me feel warm and my heart feels good.

I went looking for tkmiz doujin work and one of them was for a manga I didn't know about, Gakkou Gurashi, which is also an slice of life-ish manga set on an apocalyptic scenario, although with a completely different approach
Have you guys read it? Knowing about tkmiz influences that eventually lead to SSR is pretty fascinating in a way
Kevin Campbell
But that mean that if you got a big house, at this point, why not have a hot bath ? So that you could even swim in hot water. It'll be so great.
Liam Johnson
>do meds really help?
I've been on SNRI for 10 years. This January I stopped taking them because I was overly optimistic and thought I wouldn't need them anymore. Big mistake, after a few weeks the depression slowly crept up on me without me really noticing until my mood had hit rock bottom. Now I'm back on them. They definitely help me.
Grayson Jenkins
ETA: there are different types and brands of antidepressants, and not all of them might work for you. Some might do nothing. Some might have side-effects you can't live with.
(The list of possible side-effects is long with antidepressants, but remember: it's a *possible* side-effect. The only side-effect I have is no interest in fapping, big deal. YMMV obviously.)
I understand that you're being apprehensive about medication that changes your brain chemistry, what with fearing that you might not be you anymore. But antidepressants (ideally) merely undo the changes to your brain caused by the depression.
David Taylor
Yeah, our corpses would really stink up the place after a week or two.
>The only side-effect I have is no interest in fapping, big deal.
Is this a common side effect? I'd love to find a way to quit beating the meat without ending up horny 24/7.
