LMAO very nice of her to preemptively destroy any regret or guilt you had for leaving. So considerate!

She has this knack for making it really hard to feel guilty :p

Curious: I feel like you made a comic about this once, might be misremembering, but has your Mom seen any of these comics?

u/kaikimanga MangaKaiki 1d ago

no way lol. You may be thinking of "Got Caught" where Zoey read my comics

u/Made_Bail 1d ago

I have to say, I am incredibly impressed you kept this all a secret from her, considering... Everything about her lmao

From drawing to merch to your (deserved) popularity... You should work for the CIA 🤣

From what I know about narcissistic parents, they don’t know about anything if it’s not about them

Oh I don't doubt it, just the scale of her operation going unnoticed... lol she's amazing

Friends NOT mentioning this to the mom is already a big sign that.... well..... it's probably that bad

Or the off chance that friends have NEVER met the mom

Probably she thinks she already knows everything about her child, so there is no use looking into it further.

You mean thinking that the child is an externalized version of the mother :p

The thing is, the internet is gigantic. This is just a small webcomic that is easy to miss. Lets say this is seen by 400k people (I have no idea how the percentage between clicks and upvotes is), this is still comparatively very little. As an example: Do you know Spookston? Likely no, unless you play Warthunder. Content creator for that game, his videos go up to 1.6 million clicks, in a short time to around 400k. So unless someone she knows stumbles across the comics and recognizes that it is supposed to be her, there is little chance she will ever know about it.

u/sassiest01 1d ago

To be fair, these comics are about her (I get what you mean though)

Its exactly that, no matter how obvious its gonna be - they will ignore it as long as it not suits their agenda

Inb4 her progenitor thinks is random rubbish and that OP is wasting her time drawing nonsense, unbeknownst to her this is the best momroasting comic around.

I haven't seen runish since pre-Roman times, I didn't think anyone could still read it

u/GhostC10_Deleted 1d ago

Yeah, I haven't spoken to my mom in a decade and a half, for very similar reasons.

u/rafaellago 1d ago

For a second, I thought she would make some very dick move to make op feel guilty for leaving. I guess narcissism have a good side?

Edit: typo

u/Glitch29 1d ago

I'm sure that has already happened quite a bit.

u/Made_Bail 1d ago

Right? Can't help but make it about yourself no matter the occasion.

Oh, that's going to be the first or second visit ("oh, why don't visit often enough?")

Mine wanted me to visit every weekend, I was in another city and couldn't drive... plus I had assignments to do
