Schedule Update
Unfortunately we’re gonna postpone Smallville and most likely Sailor Moon this week. Me and Maggie both feel like crap. We’ll rest up though and hopefully still go live on Thursday for Peacemaker!
A photoshopped image combining Matt’s face onto the original “I lived, bitch” meme. In the image, Matt appears to be lying in a hospital bed with a nasal cannula, mirroring the pose and background of the meme. His facial expression is edited to match the weary, slightly dazed look of the original subject. The original text bubble has been partially altered to read “I’m sick, bitch” with remnants of the original phrase still faintly visible underneath.
