No more, 2020, please! Just stop it!

 

What more do you want from us, 2020? Haven't you done enough?

I was usure about sharing this, but... You are a part of my life after this long time. Some days ago, I suffered the way too soon and unfair loss of someone that was very close to me and I had no words to explain how special it was for me. A loss that shocked me down to my core, taking away all my strenght and inspiration. A pain that pierced the chest until your soul hurts. Someone who taught me what life's really about. A personal heroine.

She had a disablity and yet she saw the word with a lot more depth than I could ever did. No matter how bad the shit hits the fan, her sole honest smile and loving manners could fix anything. Her tireless and neverending will to improve, to never give up, inspired me more times than I ever imagined.

The hardest part is being aware that life goes on and one should move on aswell. Taking the best of those memories and lessons, and knowing you've been blessed to have that person in your life.

I've been on a leave from work and I haven't even opened until now my email as VipCaptions, so I'm sorry for taking this as a personal time out after I promised to have the comics ready. But it only seemed fair that today, in the international day of persons with disabilities, I get up on my feet again.

And the first thing in the list? Doing what brings me joy and takes my mind away. So if all goes well the Comic will be ready this weekend or the next!

And if it's not ready this weekend? Well, then we'll have a SHITLOAD of X-Change captions. Like 10 or 20!

And even more important: In a couple of days there will be a second CHARITY RUN! All December earnings will go straight to charity.

This time is meant to bring joy for kids this Holyday season. No, not with my comics (maybe they're not the best for little kids...) but with toys, so more kids can enjoy the ending of this horrible, mean year, and put a smile on their faces as we all send this year away with a big, big F*CK YOU 2020!

See you in a couple of days. Love you guys.

  12. Vipcaptions, Westane, Kaylakocklove etc. Why do all smut producers have these grandiose personal problems that delays their productivity. It just seem like too much of a coincidence.

  14. Sorry to hear that. I felt that way when I lost my grandmother. In her honor, I have taken what she taught me and started my Crochet Fanatic business. I am only in my fourth year doing plush dolls and have made more than $40000 with it.

  15. It’s good to see you again, despite these sad news... :(
    I am truly sorry for your loss, life can be very cruel sometimes.

    I send you all my support to continue to overcome this.

    After 28 episodes of CoC and a dozen other comics, you’re one of the toughest people I know.

    This year was a real pain in the ass. I hope that the next one will bring us a wind of freshness and hapiness.

    See you soon, my friend

    Alex~

    PS : No rush on the comics, take your time, and have fun :). It has to be a pleasure, not a duty.

    1. The moment they became a duty and empty of all joy is the moment I'm saying goodbye. This makes me good so far.

      Thanks a lot for the kind word. I know it's been a relly though year for many of us

  19. It's like a grimmer version of that match.com commercial Ryan Reynolds made, where Satan himself finds a match on the app... and the match is the year 2020. :(

  24. hola recien me entero de esto ojala que lo leas perdon por entrar cada 2 meses a tu blog pero TE ENTIENDO justamente el dia diciembre 30 fallecio mi papa a los 59 años, se suicido despues de un año del divorcio con mi mama, me llamaron a las 6 y media de la tarde cuando el amigo vino hasta mi casa para avisarme, yo al principio pense que era una joda, y cuando fui hasta su casa vi el cadaver fue una mierda la verdad, el habia estado viviendo en lo de su amigo por que por razones que no voy a contar no tenia otro lugar donde ir, estaban todos re estresados, su piel que era de tes morena estaba palida fue la peor sensacion de mi vida, al principio aun con el en vuelto y todo me pase haciendo chistes de humor negro para que no me pegara hasta que cuando fuimos a buscar al sepelio municipal(que se lavaron las manos y dijeron que esperaramos hasta el 3 de enero para que venga alguien) me quebre como nunca en mi vida, al final tuve que contratar un sepelio privado por que el estado se cagao otra vez en mi cuando lo necesite, costo 35 lucas el servicio mas la cremacion, y algo que no me voy a olvidar mas va a ser el olor que tuvo el cadaver despues de 2 dias adentro del ataud, se inflo tanto el cadaver que deformo el ataud de aglomerado, una mierda aunque ya pase el duelo despues de casi un mes llorando alfin me voy a poder sacar la carga que tengo de encima de la urna vino mi hermano desde españa para acompañarme en esto, mañana o pasado finalmente vamos a tirar las cenizas en el muelle de mardel, perdon por esta pared de texto y quiero que sepas mi mas sinceras condolencias para vos y que te comparto en el sentimiento, lloremos juntos si necesitas ,) que sepas que tenes un fan fiel

    1. No, es terrible! Como para no estar un mes encerrado tratando de borrar semejantes experiencias. Lamento mucho toda esa terrible sucesion de horribles eperiencias que viviste, seguro me entendes cuando te digo que solo queda ir para adelante por mas imposible y repetido que suene y no quedarse encerrado en esos momentos vividos del pasado lo cual es facil y hasta puede ser tentador.

      El estado, sobre todo en sudamerica, es lo peor. Una casta de privilegiados y hambreadores totalmente innecesarios.
      Vamos a tratar de ponerle onda y las pilas que nos quedan a esto!

    3. Un consejo que aprendi tras muchos tropezones: hacé las cosas por vos mismo y en segundo plano por èl. El estaria orgulloso o incluso mas orgulloso que si lo haces solamente por él.
      El debe ser el disparador motivacional, y lo sera mkuyy poderoso seguramente, pero es eso, u disparador pero no el motivo del resultado final, vas a ver que asi vas a diusfrutar de las dos cosas y no correr riesgo de terminar algo y al tiempo preguntarte "porque me mate con esto que no me gusta y no mesirve?".

      Bueno, solo en caso de que exclusivamente hagas algo por la memoria de tu viejo aunque y que no te guste o no lo sientas, de lo cotrario, mi opinion es completamente irrelevante.
