Question for the Everetters on transcriptions
(midwest.social)
This is just like that one time in Curb.
I also did use a VPN on both mobile and computer. Does that change anything?
that's a very colourful description

Hello everetters,
For a while I've been thinking about transcribing the comics I post so more people can enjoy them, but I've never actually transcribed before so I could use some pointers.
I'm very bad at describing anything that isn't dialogue, and I'm unsure if transcribing solely the dialogue is sufficient to get the message across, so maybe with somebody with more experience could voluntarily transcribe the comics at their own convenience? In which case, I would post their transcription in the text body.
If anybody got any suggestions / advice on how to transcribe actions and environment, or if you want to voluntarily transcribe some comics posted here, feel free to let me know in the comments.
Cheers!

No context Thursday: the first edition
(midwest.social)
Hai guys.
As I googled for some Everett True comic strips I stumbled upon this picture. And I was so puzzled bc what the hell did this guy do to deserve this. And then the idea was made: no context Thursdays, every Thursday we post at least one panel that has no context whatsoever and we can try to guess why the person in question got beat up/met Mr True's fury.
Obviously we can always post regular comics, I just think it's fun to have a designated day specifically for no context panels. And I dömt think this will catch om so maybe I'll look stupid but I think the idea is fun and I will most certainly post on no context thursdays
Love you everetters
that being said: what do you think this man did to piss Everett off?

With age comes clemency (June 10, 1909)

Transcription:
In a park with rich vegetation and several trees sits a couple on a bench, facing away from the reader. The woman leans into her boyfriend's arm, saying "— AND WE'LL BE OH, SO HAPPY IN OUR LITTLE COTTAGE, DEARIE."
Everett True is seen sitting on a bench a few metres from them, facing the reader. He is wearing his usual black coat with a dark vest and striped pants. He is holding a cigar in one hand and a newspaper in the other, looking restrained and confounded.
Everett True: "I'D LIKE TO KNOCK THEIR HEADS TOGETHER AND BRING THEM TO, BUT MY DOGGONE CONSCIENCE WON'T LET ME — I WAS YOUNG MYSELF ONCE!"

Going to mass (November 9, 1905)

I was going to say we just found out Mr True's first name, but then I realised it's Everett. But then who is James...
Freetube is my go-to. Barely had any issues with it.
not doubting this experiment but isn’t basing the validity of the myth on one instance a bit misleading
yes we are
This comment inspired me to try out Bonjourr. Absolutely love it so far. Keep the great work up!
Perfect match.
It’s been well, school on Fridays are usually chill. We read about Marxism today in social science/economics class, and last week we read about mercantilism and liberalism. So that was fun. I’m glad it’s the weekend now, I’ll be eating a bunch of spaghetti. And I have 2 days off next week, whoo-hoo!
This is exactly what my father says whenever I tell him I don’t feel comfortable having a bunch of corporate-owned platforms that eat my data away.
I always feel hesitant posting here since I'm not a native Hexbearian, but as a woman I might offer some perspective.
I have been in the same position as you. I go to a school with a bunch of hot guys, I don't speak to them, I see them for 2 seconds in the hallways and later they become part of my night fantasies. For days, weeks. Sometimes it's romantic, too.
Would some of them be horrified to find out what's going on in my head? Probably. Are my thoughts wrong, immoral or otherwise destructive? No. My thoughts make me feel happy, it's my happy place with a handful of hotties, I can escape to it when I want and who knows, maybe I'll pursue one of these males irl sometime.
My point is, if you can at all relate to what I just wrote, then you are not wrong nor at fault. I appreciate that you are being aware as a man of the implications of thinking about this woman so much, but attraction and feeling smitten is natural no matter the sex and societal structures.
Like somebody else said, if you decide to shoot your shot and she rejects you, and you respectfully accept that, you are not a creep. What matters the most is how you handle the possibility of being turned down.
