Thread title says it all.

Earlier today in another discord I stumbled across a few people from TBA, whom I considered friends, talking about me, which would be fine except having been absent at that time, they were free to speak openly, and I discovered what they actually think of me.

This isn't the first time I've found out that people I considered to be my friends didn't actually care about me (though I can't fathom why. There are more entertaining "massive whiny fags" around), but it's as hurtful as ever. I suppose I'm living up to my reputation right now, aren't I? Oh well, it can't be helped.

Right now I'm not sure if I'm going to come back at all, but I'm definitely taking a week or 3 off.

For what it's worth, my time on TBA has been mostly good, and I wouldn't trade experiences like playing TF2 with Slack and Dust for 10 hours straight, snarking at shitty art on dA's front page, or any of our Risk of Rain sessions for anything; but right now I'm not sure if any of the supposed friendships I've made on here are real or just fully imagined.

I'm also wondering how many people here actually did consider me a friend or at least an acquaintance, but had that ruined by my self-hating, spamming idiocy.

I know I've alienated one person here by trying to hit on her for like a month, and then when it finally got through my thick skull that I had no chance in hell (for numerous reasons), and I tried just to be a friend, I ended up being clingy and spastic.

Anyway I'm rambling because there are a hundred things I want to say, but I can't figure how to get them out, so I guess I'll probably see some of you again at some point.

Edit: Also I've uninstalled Discord.

NSFW'd the thread to prevent spam-bots from finding us.

Lemme cut right to the chase: I'm restarting TBA Movie Night starting this Sunday (Yes I'm aware that this Sunday is Valentines. I need something to do then, and I'd like to hang out with any of you guys who might care to come).

It won't always be on Sundays though, I'd prefer weekdays, this is just a special occasion. (I'm hoping to for Tuesdays, but if anyone's schedule conflicts with that then we can figure out a different day).

Aaaanyway, since I'm hosting the event, I've picked 3 possible movies for us to watch (from now on it'll be decided purely based on majority opinion, not me, but again, this is the first. Also it takes forever for me to upload anything to the site I'm using). That's what the poll's for.

Exact time is still TBD depending on who all wants to join, time will be posted in EST.

Edit: Okay, the event is set for 9:00 PM EST

Room link will be posted an hour before.

For those of us below the median, but who still aren't trolls.

I think I might be alone in this category.

Here's a strip of bacon:

Spoilering to protect your eyes from the eldritch horror that is my lack of any artistic ability. Open if you already have no will to live.
Also, I currently don't have a scanner, so I had to just take pics of my sketchbook pages, and even those turned out shit.
[spoiler]
This one's almost passable, I guess.


Aaaand, the photo came out almost as bad at the drawing.


Ignore the extra grey space, that's a 3-second Paint.NET 'duct-tape and wood-glue' solution. I can almost make out general shapes in this one.[/spoiler]

[TL;DR Teach me, oh wise art-sages.]

Forgive the meme-ridden title, I couldn't think of anything better.

So, I've broken down and decided that learning to draw's probably a better use of my time than trawling the internet, and it's something I can do while listening to music, so that's another plus.

So how do I do this? Like, is there any particular way I should start? It seems like whenever I try (tried, actually, I haven't drawn in a couple years) to draw any realistic object, it ends up looking like it has down's, all lopsided 'n' shit, but I'd rather learn how to draw semi-realistic things before cartooning so I'll be able to actually develop a personal style and not stay deviantart-tier (or worse) forever.

TL;DR Teach me, oh wise art-sages.


EDIT: I left out the question mark at the end of the title. Can someone add it? rtil?

EDIT EDIT: I've edited this post twice, once for grammar, the second to add that edit, (actually 3 times, because of this edit.) but each time I end up clicking 'quote' instead of modify, and don't notice it until after I post  . Hope that deleting those self-replies removed the additional posts from my count.

Anyone else playing Trove? It just came out, and I'm having fun with it, though it's a bit simple. Also voxel graphics, which I despise, but what can I say, I'm tired so my standards are low.

Also, my referral link's here.

I'm really bad at introductions, so forgive me if this reads like a 3-year-olds crayon scrawlings.

I'm 19, from SC, and spend a large, probably unhealthy, amount of time researching heavy metal bands and the surrounding culture.

I'm not much of an artist, but I periodically come up with lyrics (never enough for a complete song, however, they never seem to fit together.)

I adore music, of all types, so I'll probably be posting a lot of songs in the music thread.

I also play some videogames, though I'm not very good at non-platformers, so I tend to stick to them. I do like TF2, however. Add me on steam if ya want.
