Anonymous asked: Any tips on dealing with tendonitis? I have it now and it suuucks
there are many exercise guides for various types floating about online, but you know what? the best advice is to go see a specialist- a physio if you can, or at least a GP to give you a good idea/refer you to one because the thing is tendonitis comes in SO MANY DIFFERENT FLAVOURS OH BOY. one of the reasons the type I had this time was so Weird was it wasn’t carpel tunnel or wrist related! it was like. my whole lower forearm and in particular this one lil bugger that helps you turn your hand over- so I had to do different exercises to the kind that I was using the time I got bad tendonitis three years ago!
I can say the basics- rest, stretch within a comfortable range, stop whenever something starts to hurt, but the best thing you can do is Go Get Help from a person who knows wtf is up :Tb good luck and yes. it sucks. so bad.
Anonymous asked: Hey mod, i was wondering if you knew where I could watch Layton's Mystery Detective agency for.. research purposes??
alas nowhere legally as far as I know but, you know! if it’s for something as worthy as research purposes… (also bc I’ve had one anon full of Regret already- if you haven’t seen all of the anime/played the whole game DON’T do any searches for this series/the characters even if it’s just google images bc I guarantee you will. get spoilered)
Anonymous asked: I actually have to ask: Have you ever played Layton Mystery Room uncle Mod? Idk why it seems like something you’d enjoy!
alas, I haven’t because I haven’t got the right platform to play it on. this is my one failing in the Layton franchise and it haunts me every day
Anonymous asked: Hi there! I was just wondering if the tarot cards from the shop would be restocked any time soon? They look absolutely gorgeous, and I was really disappointed to have missed out on them! I apologize if this has already been asked. Thank you for your time!
sorry about that! we are planning to restock- when I have done one or two NEW designs! there’s talk of a 3rd book kickstarter happening (some time this year?), but it’s a ways off and I still have to recover my health and the new tarot cards might be a nice reward addition. SO the answer is you will have more opportunities to get some, but you’ll have to be a little patient! thanks for the interest I do love me a tarot card yessir

Anonymous asked: Mx. Mod!! Hoppy Easter! Also, what’s it like working on personal projects- like the Duck comics- while balancing TPOH?
usually it’s awesome because it avoids my own personal project, TPoH, becoming a drag even though it is (astoundingly) my main source of financial support- having a fun familiar outlet which is also a great way to practice and experiment with the comic format prevents me from getting bored and gives me a change of pace. at the moment I can’t dedicate time to it because I’m so weak from this bout of tendonitis, but I’ll get back to it! also diving into new obsessions and letting that part of me bounce around the room for a while keeps my soul alive and reminds me that it’s important to (and that I’m allowed to) enjoy what I do!

Anonymous asked: Hi Mod, loving the new shirts! Interested in knowing if you would ever set up a UK based store at all? The shipping costs from USA to UK are a wee bit punchy on the purse.
(boy do I know it) perhaps one day! but the HUGE advantage of being with the cool folks of Topatoco is that they handle all the wrapping, shipping, even making of the things! And most of my readers are in the USA at present- but yes, I’d like that too, so y’know, who knows?
Anonymous asked: Just a fun thought! I was looking into superstitions around the world and thought, does Gladstine follow all of these superstitions strictly? Or does he change his manorisms depending on the belief of whatever country he is currently in? Because apparently sleeping with your head to the North/Wast is bad luck in Japan/Africa? And putting your shoes on a table is only bad luck in Britian? Whats your opinion?
hm, good question! I am not sure, because in different countries same things might have conflicted meanings in luck lore- I suspect he adheres to what he knows, and while he’s an authority on luck he very likely doesn’t know everything! but yes I think he’d follow the local guides to luck, as best he could!
