God I Could Be So Wealthy If I Had No Ethics. That's So Fucking Frustrating. I'm Living Paycheck To Paycheck

god I could be so wealthy if I had no ethics. that's so fucking frustrating. I'm living paycheck to paycheck because I'm not grifting vulnerable idiots on TikTok. I feel like I have the ability to very easily scam people. I could make a killing with AI. but god. I have morals and ethics and so I get to be poor as shit. I hate this fucking world

new internet rule: every bit uploaded to the internet on April 1st, or every post scheduled in advance to be public on April 1st, should be scrubbed automatically come April 2nd. I should be allowed to avoid the internet for a day and not be served the slop afterwards by algorithms that think I accidentally missed it

Comic, 5 Panels
Panel 1: A young boy, with brown hair holding a Godzilla toy. He is deep in thought. Caption: I was a perceptive kid. I was pretty young when I picked up on the (terrible) idea that men weren’t supposed to be emotional. Beside the boy, words written on a chalkboard outline his thoughts "Me = Boy, Boy + Time = Man, Man = Don’t Cry, therefore, Me = Don’t Cry"
Panel 2: The boy looks over toward the doorway, as shouting from another room frightens him. Caption: I also picked up on what happened in our household if I didn’t meet that expectation.
Panel 3: Robin, the older, transitioned to female version of the boy sits, leaning against a wall, and says "So, if something was too difficult for me to just deal with, a lot of the time I would kind of… ignore it."
Panel 4: The frame pulls back and we see Robin is leaning on a wall next to a mirror. Her younger, pre-transition teenage self is looking in the mirror while getting dressed. He is shirtless, and looking uncomfortably at his hairy, male physique. Robin, looking worriedly at her younger self, says "Like, say-, a deep, growing unease with my body and identity that came on so slowly and quietly that it’s only in retrospect that I can chart the crash of my self-worth during my teen years."
Panel 5: Closer on Robin, she looks toward the reader as she comments "You know. The usual."
Comic, 6 panels
Panel 6: Teenage Robin puts on a shirt, while Present Robin continues: "I didn’t fully know what I was feeling, but I sure knew I wasn’t supposed to be feeling it."
Panel 7: Teenage Robin smiles into the mirror, while Present Robin explains: "The answer was simple: “Actually, I don’t feel this!"
Panel 8: Close on Present Robin, who looks dead-eyed and remarks sarcastically "Truly a flawless approach."
Panel 9: Present Robin looks sadly downward and says "But honestly? I think I needed it."
Panel 10: Teenage Robin is walking out of the room, grabbing the door handle as he leaves. Present Robin starts standing, as she says, "Don’t get me wrong, I shouldn’t have had to go through it. But, realistically-"
Panel 11: Present Robin looks toward the door, holding one of her shoulders. The door closes with a "click" as Robin speaks, "When I was growing up- where I grew up- I think knowing what was wrong, and being unable to do anything about it, might have been worse."
Comic, 6 panels
Panel 12: Robin, arms crossed, speaks to the reader, "Thinking on my past, there’s a lot of “what ifs” And I can be pretty harsh on my younger self."
Panel 13: Robin gestures to a young version of herself, speaking to other kids with a shitty grin on his face. Present Robin says "Some of it’s deserved. I was kind of a little shit."
Panel 14: Robin is now next to another young version of herself, somewhere in her twenties. He looks troubled, staring down, a hand rubbing his neck as he sits in thought. Present Robin looks down at him, sadly and says "But I also think I can be a little too hard on him."
Panel 15: Present Robin looks up and starts to speak, "He-"
Panel 16: Robin stops speaking, and closes her eyes.
Panel 17: Present Robin looks back toward her younger self, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder as she says "She was doing her best."

Dealing With It

Don't take the final panels as some sweeping statement about how I think of or address my past self. I'll still call young me a guy sometimes, especially when it's funny. But when I think about how I dealt with my feelings, how long I kept everything I felt about my body and identity pushed down out of fear or denial, I try to be kind and think of the one doing that as a scared and confused girl who had so many things working against her, from inside and outside of herself.

I've tried to tackle this particular comic idea a few times now, from different angles and such. Even drew a couple that ended up being cut, rewritten, rearranged, or redrawn into this one, but I kept feeling like I didn't have it right. I think this is pretty close.
