Common confusion

in #shenanigans5 years ago

Amusement while I was walking the dog.

When you're somewhat androgynous, this is a thing that happens frequently. I enjoy it way too much.

Especially when there are small children who are too young to realise some questions are apparently "inappropriate" and flat out ask me "are you a boy or a girl?" and I'll usually answer something along the lines of it either/or, doesn't really bother me, depends on the day, or if I'm feeling particularly playful, tell them I'm undecided that day and maybe they could suggest something. It's even funnier when their parents are around as some of them are absolutely mortified and start apologising profusely (I have to find it funny because otherwise trying to make them understand that I literally don't care would be frustrating).

Just in case the "hairstyle is cool" panels need explaining, I have mild audio processing issues so if I'm tired/there's too much noise/I can't see who's talking/I wasn't paying attention to begin with it sometimes takes me a while to work out what was said and while I usually understand what was meant I can't always repeat verbatim what was actually said. This is why I hate video tutorials and generally don't do vlogs/podcasts (unless I like you) and don't do audiobooks. There's nothing wrong with my actual hearing, apparently it's better than most people's (music at a comfortable volume for me is "barely audible" apparently o_O).

This post also appears on my blog.

Thanks for looking! ^_^

Hahaha! Nice one :>)
Yeah, we gotta like the way kids talk out loud.

Cool to see more shenanigans of you lately.

You could probably start a shenanigans comic on your life but I'm sure you've got enough on your mind already.

xx

As I said before, the shenanigans happen when they're inspired ;D

And if I have time to bash them out, I kind of need to do them at the time of or shortly after the bout of inspiraion or they stop working and/or I just forget :S I "need" an iPad to be able to do them on the fly, my SP4 sucks and has pretty much never been used for the purpose I got it for, much regrets there -_- I should probably try my CCH in tablet mode, I haven't done that for years and I'm a bit scared to as Wacom stopped supporting it a year or so after I got it and the apps I was using for drawing were laggy anyway.

Thanks :D

I think your attitude would be a great help to some people who are struggling with identity issues. Just be yourself, whatever that happens to be today! You don’t need a label! But if you wanna that’s cool too :-)

If you have identity issues it can be hard to just be yourself because you haven't figured out who you are yet XD Until someone else mentioned it, it didn't occur to me that my thorough enjoyment of messing with people "playfulness" encouraged especially kids to think outside dichotomies and possibly realise you don't have to be what other people tell you you have to be.

But yep :D

We don’t really have to figure out who we are. We just are! But saying that doesn't work, your playfulness is much more effective and healing for all of us.

Love troll!

If I'm trolling I definitely prefer my kind of trolling to regular trolling ;D

It the most funny comic I've ever seen :D

Oh noes now I have to try and equal or better it :D

Glad you enjoyed it ^_^

I also have mild audio processing issues...Meaning I don't listen to most people at all. Lol.

Bahahahahahahhaaaa XD When are you not listening? That sounds more like plain stubbornness or not suffering fools to me ;D

Not suffering fools most likely. 🙂

Now that sounds like you :)

[Galen smiles and thinks, spot on Ry.]

I thought the dog was targeting the strangers as some sort of terminator inspired defence mechanism. :D

I illustrated me in this case but the dog probably does a similar thing XD
