THE SLUT STRAND

EDDIE DIAZ

Colors. My greatest enemy.

(It looked fine and then I tried to add lighting and now the skin colors aren’t skin coloring)

I JUST FINISHED THE WINNERS AND THERE WILL BE MINOR SPOILERS

when I say just I mean like 15 minutes ago— There are still dry tears on my face.

The way Mr Backman spoils the book for us over and over is flawless at giving individuality to the story as a narrative, giving it its own voice, but it’s also a top notch literary device to cultivate plot twists. I was so preoccupied with him telling us—from the beginning—who was going to die that the things that Bang the dog, Mumble’s ending, and all the other little tragedies we watched happen took shocked me to my core

On the subject of the compassion and hopefulness— I can’t even begin to put into words how I feel about the “Time travel can’t be real” lines and the lines written on all the different tombstones in the story, or Alicia’s story

Cannot deal with how the story of Beartown knows itself inside and out and how it tells itself so nonchalantly, spoiling things left and right, and killing our notions of a happy ending before we even get the stupid idea to hope.

"She won't succeed." "It won't be enough." "He will be too late."

But what gets me is how the story also so obviously cares. Cares about the people, about the events that went down, and it knows that the outcome can't be changed but it wishes so damn hard it could be.

"Obviously we still hoped. Dear god, how we hoped." "The people in this town who loved him. There were so many of us."

It's not them, it's us. Almost like the town itself is telling it. Fredrik Backman I am in your walls.

oh my gourd, have you done Sindey yet for your character thing????

Sidney come next! Any moments you thing need to be included?

Sometimes you watch an hours worth of hopecore videos at midnight and you have to draw your old dog.

My sweet boy passed away in April of 2023 and I still miss him everyday but you know what? I don’t think I ever remember him not liking someone, so if you’re feeling down, remember that wherever the dogs go in the end, there’s a 14 year old vizsla who loves you, and he has bright eyes, soft ears, and wants to find a way to sit on your lap.

“Wherever you are, I hope there’s a desert, and a car for you to chase.” - a line from a poem by me.

I miss you. You were so beautiful.

On a more technical note, I rarely ever crosshatch and I’m definitely not confident in it, but I’m here to try new things.

A little drawing I did after watching Dead Boy Detectives for the first time!!! Great show absolutely loved it!!!!!!!

Four days of work

For TWO PANELS OF COLOR

I’m a contestant in the first ever season of “College Cooking,” a culinary show in which university students battle it out in front of top chefs using only the combined ingredients and materials found in their kitchens. I approach the judges with my first dish— the prompt was simple. An easy, nutritious dinner that can be packaged and brought to school for lunch the next day.

I am too old for pity. There will be no mercy tonight.

“As you can see,” I say, presenting a pot fresh off the stove, “I’ve made a basic chicken soup. Because I haven’t been taking my iron pills, I’ve included as many vegetables as I could get my hands on.” I set the pot down on the table and hand out spoons.

“It’s essentially your typical chicken noodle soup, but I’ve added my own personal twist.” All the judges look up to meet my eyes and it takes a moment for me to realize that they’re waiting for me to explain. “Well, you see, it’s a fun little soup tradition I have, where I don’t actually know how much broth to add. If you turn your attention to the dish, you’ll see that it’s not really SOUP soup as much as it’s soggy soup ingredients. I think it adds a novel element. I hope you enjoy.”

Then I turn around and walk straight off the set.
