Heya! I'm Raquel aka 'wickedreasoning'.
I'm a London-based cartoonist and illustrator, who copes with life by drawing it in comic form.
They go through my struggles with day-to-day life, the digital world, being an artist, and mildly annoying everyday situations.
I've started making these because drawing was always the way I could best express myself. And, honestly, it's nice to share the most specific of feelings and situations and have people out there relate to it.

I'm must be weird too, I usually have like 3 songs I listen to on repeat..
Load More Replies...To the people who say they want a pure random shuffle then you have to take into consideration that you could get the same 12 songs repeated due to true random number generation giving you the same song, it was how Spotify had their shuffle originally until people complained of repeat songs on shuffle. The shuffle you are asking for is the playlist to mix up your songs play through them and then mix them up again when you get to the final song.
You have to turn off repeat, so if a song plays or won't get played again until the playlist is restarted
I just don't wear a bra cause they all make it hard to breathe 🙃 its not that they are the wrong size. Even proper fitting ones hurt and feel like they are cutting off bloodflow. I cant wear hats for the same reason lmao.
OMG! I thought it was just me. I honestly thought I had a blood disorder.
In the home I worked for the developmentally disabled, any time we found a bruise, scratch, or anything, we had to ask them what happened. Most of them couldn't have told us if they were being hurt, but we hoped they'd at least act a little differently if something were wrong.
I asked my doctor about that and was told yeah, once you're old enough it just happens, deal with it.
This! I woke up with a good sized bruise on my leg. Didn't even know until mom pointed it out xD how i got it ill never know. Guess i beat myself up that night?
Ny favorite toilet is my own too its the most private paradise i have and i have a table for my tablet and switch in there 😂
Load More Replies...Sameeeee this is soooo true I would hate if someone didn't get this!! like at school you would have a certain bathroom stall or spot at the eating tables!!!!
I got that feeling when I was taking lessons for my drivers license. The driving school had 3 cars of the same type & model, but I did have a favourite, because somehow driving in each one of them felt different. Nobody would believe that.
Step 3: Wait until an hour is left before you leave and then start packing
I love step 2. Sadly, it will always lead to step 3. Bad enough for vacation, but when my family came to help me move many years ago, I hadn't packed yet.
Load More Replies...Step 3: Don't pack, go with a huge, empty suitcase to Europe and go shopping there. Buy also some vacuum seal bags, throw everything you bought into, vacuum them, have plenty of room left in the suitcase. Do more shopping..
You'll have to buy a vacuum.
Load More Replies...I’m the third type: 71% is manageable and 13% is “I need to do something about it now!” Territory for me.
This is 100% me and my husband☺️ I like to have mine fully charged and his is usually around 30% or lower. Drives me nuts
Same. When i'm at school i'm like "Oh no! 71%! My phone is gonna die!" But when i'm in my bed before i sleep i'm like "ehhhh 13% is fine..."
Load More Replies...I used to have this problem, then I replaced my phone's battery. $100 well spent. For anyone who doesn't know this and uses an iPhone: Go to Settings, then Battery, then Battery Health. According to Google, if your iPhone's battery capacity is lower than 80%, you should replace it (the battery, not the phone).
Id also recommend getting a decent extended battery too its a little more expensive but well worth it
Load More Replies...or at school, my laptop is going to die but the teachers get angry when its out of charge... and im counting down the seconds until it goes flat...
i hate when you are texting someone and they say "sorry i have to go charge" but I'm literally sitting on the floor charging... in the most uncomfortable spot...
But wait, if you flip this around... The "They" in this narrative is Me/You, in equal measures.. What sad and paradoxical lives we lead. Where we will never know how we come across to other people and we will never be able to fully describe to others how we perceive them (not in a way they'll truely believe or understand, anyway) It's torture...sometimes...
I treat my sims nicely 😭 I feel bad for them when they’re sad
its the worst when you just want to watch videos/ movies after a rough and tiring day to just relax but it wont load or connect to your headphones. i just want to chuck my laptop or smash my TV!!!!!! The people 👇🏼who agree
You have to stay in the hot water for long enough to the point you become a boiled potato
Jokes on you i have long hair thats been bleached and it takes 10 minutes to get conditioner out lol
Need to write a note to remember where you put the first note. Then you will probably forget where you put the second note.
Load More Replies...Me! I had a piece of paper taped to the front door (inside of course) with TELEPHONE on it, to remind me to take it with me. Strangely, when the phone was in my purse, I saw the paper. When I had forgotten the phone ... I didn't notice the paper either!
Ahhh, so true. And when you have back to back panels you want to attend, you're probably not going to get in to the second one.
Yup, it's a pick your faves and go camp there an hour earlier for the big ones :')
Load More Replies...I volunteer at a few conventions (so I get on for free), and I usually spend my time hanging out with people I only get to see AT con! The reason for the Con/events/activity is secondary to spending time with people I love and enjoying the massive amount of free alcohol people generously give out (while also giving out free alcohol to others!)
I mainly go to board game conventions focused on playing board games. Queue day one and occasionally food (i usually try to leave site) are the only ones I've had there lol
thats me, but its like 1 half is pretty curly, and the other half is wavy
my hair is straight, but has a teeny bit of natural curl at the end, but when my hair falls out, it is like, curly, something you would expect from someone who has minorly kinky hair
Mabey your hair is weighted to much by your conditioner?
Load More Replies...Waves all over my head and one random ringlet under my right ear
nooooo when it really annoys me though is when i have perfect curls and it goes all frizzy and puffy in 20 minutes
this is... ridiculously accurate. that's why I wash my hair THEN my body so none of it stays where it shouldn't be 👀
I always mutter "well that really WAS a wild hair up my a*s" when I do a final rinse and remove all of it 🤣
And when you come out of the shower you feel something hairy near your cheeks
Also how much I have to pull out of the drain all the time. Married with 4 girls
I literally brush the conditioner into my hair to get rid of the hair because i know i will get 90% of it in my butt crack if i don't
I clench my butt cheeks when I wash and rinse my hair to keep it from gathering
I've always had Long hair and have never had this happen...what are you people doing?🤣 I do find cat hair in my eyes though 🤷♀️
Oddly I don't remember it happening when I was a kid, but it does now
Load More Replies...I tell people I do this and they look at me like I'm weird or something🤷♂️. I regret NOTHING...
I always had the weird habit of sniffing the football programme as soon as I bought one at a football game. Absolutely lush! 🇬🇧
Does anyone else have a certain image or video you want to erase from your memory entirely rather than just never seeing it again? That’s what this feels like- she just stumbled upon something she would like to erase from her memory!
I wish I didn't know that 2 Girls, 1 Cup and Human Centipede exist...
Load More Replies...When I was in the 8th grade and had to do an essay some "what to do in the summer"... so I typed in "Jetsking" (because I was poor and staying home wasn't an "acceptable answer)... and instead of bringing up ANYTHING about Jetskis, the lake/ocean, etc... it automatically routed me to "Watersports(.)com"... a now defunct website... featuring a very specific kink.
(It's obviously shocking, bp censored it, I added spaces, beware [if you can find it])
Load More Replies...I'm sorry... What?!? Cat... Blender...? I don't want to know... But I want to know
Load More Replies...2 girls 1 cup, 4 girls finger painting, blue waffles, gore dot com, so so so many things I want to forget forever.
I think I've blocked most of those traumatic images out..either that or I've become so desenstitized to it they barely phase me anymore..I just wince for a second and then I'm over it as soon as it's gone..
Yeah like walking in on your parents doing laundry..... sorry I'm a Seventies teenager......no need to see that
It just made me non responsive to 90% of situations tbh lol. I'm alright and resilient as a result. Sure i saw some weird messed up stuff but i survive lol
The Cat Burning video. (aka Kissantappovideo in Finland). Yes, the guys who did it were prosecuted, but the screams of the poor kitty will haunt me and many internet users around these parts forever
I think BP missed an opportunity to censor something in the top left panel.
I would so have a very long conversation about exactly this kind of thing...
Wouldn't it be fascinating?
Load More Replies...I know. I turn SO red and my hair is just all over the place I and have no clue how some people are hot and then there is me lookin like this ^
I turn SOOO pale!! I look like I lived in a basement with no sun my entire life!
Load More Replies...She has a straight photo of her holding her phone to the left, this bothers me
I can just enter the gym and my face and chest go bright red! I HATE IT! I also have really bad melasma (patchy darkness on my face caused by hormone issues), so finding a foundation that matches my neck and chest, covers the redness and dark patches, AND doesn't rub off on my clothing around the neck of my shirt is impossible! Seriously, L'Oreal needs to make the True Match foundation in a transfer proof formula! Setting spray and powder just make it look too caked on
ooh, but when it doesn't crunch, I want to destroy everything, it's so unsatisfying.
So discounted if a ticket all I got was in the carryon rack
Load More Replies...Haha and when i was a kid sometimes other kids would help blow them out so there is like 5 of you spitting on it
No comments on this one coz everyone has such a short attention span on the internet, and this cartoon takes too long to read.
TLDR: things talk about depressing stuff, she shuts up the last one by talking about depressing stuff herself
Load More Replies...I thought of Courage the Cowardly Dog. "Each night you will be visited by three plagues, each one worse than last. Return the slaaaab."
As a child, my mum told us to first eat a sandwich with meat or cheese, then we could eat one (or more) with sweet stuff. I still do that, and I'm 70 y.o. The other way around just doesn't appeal to me :D
I don't do this because I know I'll still want dessert after my meal.
This is one of those things I have absolutely NO problem with. I mean it's not every day, right?! ...Right??
Oh, and why is it ok to eat a muffin for breakfast then?
Load More Replies...Makes me think of my grandfather judging me for drawing creatures as opposed to humans
"STOP! You have committed crimes against Skyrim and her people!" Yes Skyrim for me as well
Load More Replies...Fable all the way. Can't wait til the new one comes out. I did my waiting. 13 years of it.
Minecraft, or slime rancher. More recently for some reason, hitman 3
Godzilla just wanted to take a stroll but nooooo there had to be buildings in the way and angry little pale things throwing metal at him...
Yep, the "proper" art world is exactly that. Money laundering. The same world that let Van Gough die destitute, and said the Mona Lisa didn't matter until it was stolen. You don't have to be an artist to get into a high art, you just have to know somebody.
That's me! Except I cut it all to about 2 inches and let it grow down to my shoulders
I'm 19 and I relate to the 30s. It's really one of the only things that sometimes makes Me feel good about myself, or at least feel like I accomplished something in all of the work that I fail in
Work from home forever! Sure my feline coworkers are sometimes annoying but they are never chatty.
One of my cats will hold a conversation lol, you say something and she'll answer with a meow
Load More Replies...It says “ long list of last minute excuses” for those who are struggling to read that (such as myself)
Oooo the ultimate slap in the face is when they DON'T tell you they invited more people and it's actually a big get together...
Me: agh cold cold cold cold!!! oh, can I have a pint of ice cream at that gas station?
Mine is hEDS, but I always forget because I've also an extra set of ribs(full cervical set), that traps my nerve sometimes...so it's not until 10 hours later I go "Hey, maybe it's outta place"... and readjust it. 🤦♀️
And gym classes in February are the first panel again...
THIS. I'm like thanks, I really need to cringe about that all day/night...
