When my parrot wants pets off someone he’ll go up to them, say hello, and lower his head to expose his neck. Recently, however, he’s been doing this to a pitch black crevice behind the couch, even trying to cajole the darkness with kissy noises and getting sad when the void won’t pet him. How do I explain that dark chasms are not friends?
trying to get research for my comic so I asked Portland reddit for ideas and of course one person responded “sounds like gravity falls” when all I said was it’s a “paranormal fantasy adventure in NW Oregon”
no matter how different it is that’s probably gonna be constantly brought up and it bugs me because I GREW UP HERE I have EVERY right to make my own story here and Gravity Falls didn’t invent weirdness or the ghost/monster hunting genre that is something I’ve been passionate about since childhood it’s not fair that just because someone beat me to it I’m suddenly not allowed to do it without being called a ripoff
if its any consolation, there are people who claim that shadow of the colossus is ripoff of attack on titan so no matter what and when somehting is made people will be stupid
