If you did a good deed just so you can record it and post it on social media, you are a piece of trash. Performative altruism doesn't count
Openness not accountability. Accountability is proving goodness, which wastes enormous amounts of time and money.
Bored Panda reached out to Eckyo, the conversation with the artist delving into his transition from realistic to cute art style! Eckyo describes this transition as “quite an interesting journey for me. It came with its own set of challenges but was also incredibly rewarding.”
I hate the word toxic. Doesn't mean much, just invalidates everything when maybe not everything should be left invalidated. Still agree with this very cute comic though, I feel like saying "its okay to let go of people you don't get along with" is better though, no?
You can not like the word, but actually it means a lot: "very harmful or unpleasant in a pervasive or insidious way". It goes way above just not getting along with people.

My expectation is that he is leaving everything to my sister, just to get back at me. As harsh as that is, I can say it has been worth every penny, but only because I've surrounded myself with some pretty special people. They make it all worth it and I regret nothing.
Therapist here: sometimes "cutting people out" is absolutely necessary for sure (issues of abuse, substance abuse, manipulation, safety concerns come to mind)...but I'm concerned about this becoming a buzzword or trend...especially in relationship to parents or other family members. Like it's no big whoop to sever a relationship. It's a huge decision that can have lasting impacts, and should never be made lightly!
Wish I could cut off one of my sister-in-law’s. But that is sorta hard 🫤😢
Regarding the transition, Eckyo elaborated, “One of the main challenges was shifting my mindset. Realistic art often focuses on precision and capturing the details of the object, while cute art emphasizes simplicity and exaggeration of features. Consequently, I had to let go of my perfectionist tendencies and embrace a simpler, more playful approach in my drawing style.” He also had to “re-learn how to draw basic shapes and characters in a cute way,” experimenting with “different proportions, colors, and expressions!” The key, he said, was “persistence and patience.”
Quick question, do beavers not know what they are doing or do they just see a river and go ABSO-F*****G-LOUTLY NOT
They don't ned too see a river. They played river sounds to a beaver cub and it started to make a "dam" on the floor out of pillows, rugs, shoes and everything

When I'm feeling happy and positive, my art tends to reflect that with vibrant colors and cheerful themes.” Even during challenging times, Eckyo sees value in channeling emotions through art, stating, “Creating art becomes a way to channel those emotions and work through them.”
He shared a personal anecdote that significantly influenced a comic piece: “There was this one time when I was at my desk, really worried about problems happening in my family... So much time was wasted without finding any solution except to worry... So, I started doodling a heart character who was worried about something, mirroring my situation.” This act of creation didn’t resolve the problem but “kept me going.”
By this logic, yes, but this logic is flawed, so don't. You need to learn to deal with other people, especially the ones who are hard to deal with, or you are trading short term peace on long term turmoil.

Had this happen this earlier this month, it hurt 'cause it was new, scary, uncertain, now I feel stronger, braver and kinder:)
Reminds me of a quote from Spinoza: "Don't cry, don't get upset. Understand."
When discussing the importance of follower feedback, Eckyo explained to Bored Panda, “Feedback from my followers has played a significant role in shaping my work over time. It's been an incredible source of inspiration and improvement.” This feedback sparked the creation of comics on similar topics, which encouraged deeper exploration into themes enjoyed by the audience.
Regarding his upcoming eBook and drawing course, Eckyo hopes to offer stress management through drawing, saying, “Drawing is actually a good method to help manage stress. This is one of my goals for anyone who wants to learn cute drawing as well as gain good drawing skills.” The eBook promises a more enjoyable drawing experience with varied and somewhat complex cute characters and objects, offering “fresher material.”
Fun fact…. You can’t breathe right while smiling. Just kidding, I made you smile :) I hope everyone has a great day today!
A week ago someone gave me a note saying something like this. I smiled at them. I thought it was a nice gesture and that he was just a gentle kind soul. Wrong!!! Somebody was filming the whole thing and now it is upon on social media . It was all planned. I checked their account and it is a crappy channel. Why do people think that they can film someone and post it without their consent? (And they posted it with captions like cute girls smiling. Disgusting).
Especially after midnight. (oh wait wrong monster) lol

On the other hand: "things will get worse before they get better" does not mean that things will get better.
"I love you, but I have to love ME more" is the hardest sentence to say, but it's also the kindest to yourself
I believe that the so called "rotten fruits" can't live a truly fulfilling life, but harm themselves first and foremost. Even worse when they hit others with it. But taking revenge is a way that is just as damaging to oneself – and can make one a "rotten fruit" itself.

People definitely need to know that you can choose to "rise above it" but if people hurt you you should be allowed to fight back to defend yourself. As my manager would say "You're noones punching bag".
Ah, so that's why I listen to so much Slipknot and SOAD! 😯 Oh .... dear
But really, music speaks to the soul. I wouldn't be where I am today if I didn't have music. But only old music. 😁

The most I would do is hold it my hand for them to give it back, and if they took too long I'd tell them "You can hand it back now, it I can tell the teacher. Either way I'm going to get it back and I'm not playing that game." I'd also always follow through if they didn't think I'd tell the teacher, so since I was unwilling to give them the responses they wanted, they'd get bored and eventually stop trying to tease me altogether. I'm lucky though cause I went through puberty and got big early.
Although, me being a tall and bulky guy also tend to make people try to pick on me just to try and prove they were tough, but having an older brother that was a bit of a bully and being bullied since early on eventually resulted in me just exercising a lot of self control to not hit the person, and eventually just not react altogether. Bullies suck though.

It's it actively bothering the people who caused the hurt? Usually not, so you are just allowing them to take up space on your consciousness and rob you if you're not when they aren't worth the event to hold the grudge. That doesn't mean key then bank into your life; it means live your life as thought they were all dead

I'm slowly losing my best friend, so unless my new best friend is better than her (which is impossible, but I also have a crush on her). I hope things get better for you and you make more friends, because I know you deserve it. I wish you the best of luck River Wolf!! 🥰
