2017 has been off to a great start. Got to sleep over with close friends for a week while playing video games and watching anime. One of my friends introduced me to One Punch Man, so I am now all about One Punch Man.
So far I've been staying true to my resolution: Staying calm and staying true to self. And sticking with that theme, I want to tell you something...
Thank you. I've wanted to thank you for the longest time. All of you. I wanted Off Saving the World to be that thank you. But that would take a few more weeks to make, and I don't even know if it'll be any good. I have this notion that continuing to create content will show how much I appreciate your support. But nothing sends a message like being straight forward.
Thank you for watching/reading/tolerating what I do on the internet. It's hard for me to be the kind of internet personality who's all like "Thank you all! I love every single one of you! You're all amazing! <3 <3 <3." Too much negative pressure has accumulated in my head for me to be like that and actually be genuine. I don't know if anyone else feels that way about communicating with other people. I'd love to be like that though. But I also don't wanna be fake. I look back on all the times I've been a liar, a hypocrite, and generally inauthentic, and it motivates me to stay as far away from that as possible. Hell, 2016 was the year I tried cleansing all the toxicity from my mind and having a more positive outlook.
I know I haven't been consistent. I hope I can change that about me too. Having a following is so weird (at least for me... because I'm weird xD) It's made me want to be a more positive influence, but also has made me realize that you can't please everyone, and people are gonna hate you no matter how hard you try to improve, but you can't let that stop you from improving. It's all crazy and weird. And I've learned to accept and embrace how crazy and weird the world is. I sometimes ask "Why am I so crazy and weird?" Realizing that living on earth made me like this, so the world must be just as crazy and weird as me.
Knowing that makes everything seem better... or least better enough to stop having mental breakdowns.
Anyone else super into absurdism?
Either way, OSTW is a little over half way done, and I'm working on a 3 minute animation! Both coming soon!
Again, thank you all! I love every single one of you! You're all amazing! <3 <3 <3 (seriously)

Webcomic, Main Blog, Smut Blog
Haven't been posting on here anymore, and don't really plan to, but I have been posting a lot of art on twitter (http://twitter.com/animatedjames) and tumblr (http://animatedjames.tumblr.com) and I plan on continuing that.
Feel free to ask me anything you want on tumblr (http://animatedjames.tumblr.com/ask).
I also finished a 205 page story arc for my webcomic (http://offsavingtheworld.com).
And if you're into that gross shit (sometimes literally) I made a NSFW smut blog (http://notsafeforworld.tumblr.com)
I understand if there's a loss of patience with me. I deserve it. It feels wrong for me to say that I've changed or improved since tha
Update
I just reached the 80 page mark on Off Saving the World, and I'm a little over a minute done with the upcoming stand up comedian animation, which I might start streaming again. I've been offline for a while, working, but also just worrying too much. I do that all the time, and it's not fun, but part of my anxiety is that the more I feel it, the harder it is to stop it and just have fun, even when I should be having it.
I think back to when I wrote "How to prevent idiocracy". It was a stressful and kinda scary time and I wanted to make people feel better. I still agree with the overall message of it, but at the same time, it's a direction I d
2017 Part 1: Resolutions
Happy New Year! It was around this time last year that I didn't have the best grasp on reality. I was so caught up in my own personal anxiety that I lost my mind. Not much to say it about that now, except every day, I'm surprised, humbled, and grateful that I still have friends and followers, in spite of thinking I don't deserve either.
Main reason I'm making this journal is to acknowledge that I said OStW would be done around the holidays. I could be smart-alacky and say "I didn't say WHICH holiday" but we all know which holidays I was referring to. It is half way done and can be seen on patreon for $1 a month, but if you can wait, I sugges
OStW should be done around the holidays
Still working on Off Saving the World. I want it to be done more than anyone, but at the same time i wanna make sure it's as good as it can be. I haven't been focused on drawing other stuff for deviantart while I work on this, mainly out of a sense of duty to complete it. I feel like I've annoyed you all so much with the sudden cancelations of things. I just wanna start going through with things again, which is why all my focus is on this 50-60 page comic book that won't be done for like 3-4 months. I wanna show previews of the comic, maybe draw some more art of the characters, but why would you care about these characters you know nothing ab
