hell yes. hell fucking yes

The unnamed protagonist has worn a moustache for at least a decade. One day, on a whim, he decides to shave it off. However, no one notices. It's true that people can sometimes fail to notice even obvious changes to the things they are used to seeing frequently. Familiar items, friends, family members no longer command your attention, conscious observation is abandoned in favour of their assumed appearance. In this case, however, the indifferent response to the absence of a moustache triggers a sequence of cause and effect that occupies the remaining narrative. Thematically the book explores a great deal about perception of self, the presence of identity, how this may define a person and what might happen when deprived of self-identity. Physicality can become irrelevant, you are known to people for who you are, and not precisely what you look like. It is perhaps only the self that cares about appearance, how one is perceived by the wider world. You cannot necessarily control your character, your foibles or your body language, but you can control how you style your hair and how you dress. But what happens when even that is questioned? Our protagonist enters a protracted standoff with his beloved wife Agnes. They vacillate between mutual suspicion of insanity and passionate sexual trysts to rekindle the diminishing trust. Agnes' character is given a backstory suggesting that she have a vindictive side; not malevolent, but not straightforward. Paranoia extends its strangling tentacles; unspoken agreements are forgotten but we infer through their sexual engagement how he draws reliance and sustenance from her. This exacerbates the sense of deceit, he cannot disbelieve her, but neither can he believe her. He cannot trust his own instinct; she has this power. Caroline Spalding

anyways guess who started a reread of homestuck with a friend and ended up falling in love all over again with the characters and their relationships.

yeah thats right its me. me and my best friend talking about their dynamic and how great they'd get along. he said their dynamic reminded them of us and honestly. massive win. calling and voiceacting their convos together is something im genass having so much fun with i havent laughed at homestuck and had so much fun for a while.

they have that vibe together of eating melting popsicles in a hot car on the way to your friends house so you can crowd around their pc to watch them beat that one flash game youre having trouble with while their ridiculously suffocated pc whirs underneath the desk and the place smells faintly of cigarettes cus their guardian smokes. their backyard always an entire mess too. no? just me? damn. what were you guys doing during when these things were blasting on the radio. let me know in tags

remember when radio music actually used to be great. do you guys remember that? when pop music just wasnt all shit. case in point let me just link five of the songs i was listening to while drawing these i got mad nostalgia flashbacks dude teared up a bit.
