The End

Our kingdom’s built knowing new worlds will rise from our bones

We play pretend ’til we run out of time in the end and we’ll do it again ’til it’s done

Happy Halloween to those who celebrate!!!!

Consistent comic style I don’t even know her

Okay but for real this was great practice for panel pacing and finding my comic style. (Like I could have used more lead up to the door but I hadn’t intended anything this long when starting lmao.) It’s cobbled together but I love it bc I can pinpoint the exact moment I decided to go ham and make a cinematic moment out of a silly plot idea. I’ll likely expand on the door at a future point but for now plz enjoy. 👀

Biting the bars of my enclosure about autistic ford tonight. There's something about him using vocabulary and turns of phrase that seem "outdated" or "pretentious" that feels so painfully genuine to me. When people say he talks like that just to "try to sound smart" I wish I could explain what it's like to be so ostracized from your peers growing up that you spend all your time reading instead, to the point where you pick up your way of speaking from books instead of from people. And then what it's like for people to call you out for "talking weird" over and over again, not able to wrap their heads around why the fuck you would choose more archaic or technical or formal words than the simpler ones that surely come to everyone's minds first. What it's like to have to dedicate a sizable chunk of attention to filtering through every single word you say out loud in real time before you say it, to make absolutely sure that it isn't a word people will judge you for using or make fun of you for using, just so you'll have a chance of being taken seriously. Learning through trial and error how to filter out the words that other people don't think are normal or casual enough for the conversation, even though for you, the word choice that's "natural-sounding" enough for them is the third or fourth word you came up with when searching for the right way to phrase something in your head. I wish I could explain just how long it takes to say fucking anything after spending a lifetime doing that during every single conversation, and how repetitive and long-winded you end up being when you spend so long coming up with alternative ways of saying every little thing you ever think. And I wish people realized that, at the very least for autistic people and autistic-coded characters, speech that's seen as pretentious is really just the way they talk when they're not putting in the extra effort to filter through every word they say just so others will take the time to listen.

WHOS GOING TRICKLE TREATING TONIGHT

Hm .. trying to decide what I should use for my bath tonight!

Milk and honey or roses and vanilla bean? 🤍

(I know it’s a small thing, but the right scent is very important to me ok !! )

And *also* more importantly .. what should I read ?? My new book or finish the one I’m currently reading ?? 🤍

I’m so indecisive !! It is my greatest failing !!

I should probably just hurry up and finish the book I’m currently reading so I can put a review up here already (as I’ve been saying I will for a month now eep ; ;)

Tricky tricky treat!! U get his better side

Hey, you. You like games? Sure you do.

Well you’d better get out those chocolates, put on your super bowl helmets, and take a slice of my birthday cake because I am pleased to announce that due to popular demand (and my work schedule miraculously working out) vore community game night is BACK BABY!!

If you’re not familiar, Last August and December I hosted a discord game night where we hung out and played gartic phone, various jackbox games, drew together, and created cursed masterpieces to stand the test of time. (I’m looking at you, hee hoo shirt)

As per usual feel free to join the server at any time, but you won’t be able to talk or send messages until I open it on the day of. I don’t have any concrete game times set, but I’ll be opening the server Sunday morning and will probably start doing games around the mid-afternoon (1:00 CT) and a little later on Monday. (That’s my birthday!) I have a few extra special surprises planned this time around (including a vote for a much-needed new server icon) so you don’t wanna miss out 👀

Please note that this is a safe for work event. No nsfw talk will be allowed. Despite this, I ask for all participants to be at least 16 years of age to join in this game night for everyone’s safety, and in order to create a positive environment for everyone.

A full list of rules and additional details can be found in the server. Hope to see you there!

I get that the intention behind "went out with a girl last night" from Miri to Kazuki is about the "no homo", but I genuinely don't see it as such? because, for one, I really like open queer relationships. monogamy, while very popular, isn't the end all be all, comes from current heteronormative traditions, and polygamy is very much queer. also the idea of Rei interrupting Kazuki's date only to get hit on himself, and having to confirm that the only person he ever had any feelings about/attraction to is Kazuki, he's just not always emotionally capable of handling him, tickles me greatly.

and don't tell me they don't get married the moment Japan in their universe legislates queer marriage.

1) Miri, in case of one of them passing, would be able to remain with the now legal parent;

2) tax purposes/inheritance rules;

3)...okay, this should've been 1) - they do love each other. it's just in the timeskip we see them from Miri's POV, where they're her lameass dads making bad jokes and enjoying harmless teasing in front of her.

July random art dump!

“damn why have you never been to the club?” the club is not wheelchair accessible. the club food and drink selection is abysmal if you don’t want or can’t have alcohol. the club has flashing and pulsing lights that can trigger seizures. the club dj has terrible volume control and I don’t want hearing damage. I’m autistic.

Ngl, I really think that these bylers that are crying 24/7 about "purity culture" or whatever, are playing dumb when they start with their "but Nancy and Steve were 16 and 17 in that scene of s1!!!1" like... We got introduced to these characters at that age and the people playing them were already adults. So yeah, sorry but I think it's easy to see why most viewers would be uncomfortable with a more sexual scene of Mike and Will and it's not automatically homophobia, I think that would be the case with any of the kids since we got introduced to these characters when they were 12 and the actors were babies as well. We literally saw those kids grow. And I'm not saying byler should only get to peck or hold hands, It'd be cool if they have their epic kiss or whatever, but Will hasn't even had his first kiss yet and some of these people are already talking about sex scenes, like... Be for real 😭

funny you should say that...because i've used the nancy was 15-16 in season one argument (last tag) before while also saying that i understand why people find the sex part of their sexualities uncomfortable to discuss. and i wanna reiterate that, again, i totally understand that people feel like they've seen them grow up etc etc and that they still think of the actors themselves as children even thought they're not anymore.

i don't think it's all homophobia because like you said, people would probably feel the same about lucas and max and discussions of sex (i don't know if anyone is discussing that because there's much less discourse to have there and you can't argue that people are homophobic if they disagree with you) but i don't think it would be justified either. the "but we knew the characters when they were little" argument makes me think me of an ancient disney channel/abc show that old people and girl meets world fans who watched it for the first time in the 2010s will know, boy meets world (1993-2000). classic comic of age show, look at these kids. and eric in the back (he's fifteen).

they're eleven at the start of the show and then, what happens in any coming of age story happens, you guessed it...

they grow up. this is them in the later seasons, when the main characters are still in high school i think. they grow up, they talk about sex and about having sex at prom in season five and then they don't have sex right away because they figure it's not the right time yet or something like that, and then they have sex later and get married, the details don't matter. but my point is, who watches a show for five seasons, over years and years and gets upset at the main characters having sex because "this is crazy they used to be children"? isn't that the point of coming of age stories that cover multiple years or that focus on the latter years of adolescence, that they're not children forever and that at one point the characters "come of age" which usually includes their first sexual experiences?

i don't think the having sex part is particularly important in stranger things but also it doesn't have to be for it to be portrayed (see jonathan and nancy), teenagers have sex, it's just the way the world works. i'm not advocating for sex scenes of any kind especially because stranger things isn't a show that features a lot of sex in general, the only "explicit" sex scene being nancy and steve in season one with cuts to barb dying, but i genuinely don't think the duffers would have any qualms about portraying teenage sexuality in general with the party. if they did, they wouldn't have included erica threatening lucas to tell dustin what she found under his bed (it wasn't the communist manifesto) and they wouldn't have had max looking at a shirtless steve for an amount of time that's supposed to make the audience laugh. it's been 7 years. if they do a time jump, the babies will be about 17, played by actors who will all be around 20, the age natalia was when filming season one. the characters are teenagers, babies grow up. it happens to the best of us. i get why people would find it uncomfortable and maybe i would find it uncomfortable too but i wouldn't be scandalized. the duffers had no problem having a child actor portray everything will goes through in seasons one and especially two, i really feel like sex is fine and...not traumatizing or hard to watch compared to every single thing will's gone through lol. and again, i'm not even expecting them to have sex lmao, but i wouldn't cry myself to sleep if they revealed that everyone in the party actually knows what sex is.

last question: do we have any indication that jonathan had talked to more than one other girl (the girl at the halloween party being the one girl i'm counting for him) before he got together with nancy. i'm just asking because of your last sentence, because if we don't he should have slowed down also😭

So chapter 7 huh...

You can’t tell me that mask didn’t have some serious side effects

Ok btw my experience here has been awesome so far. This is truly the mental health care of the future, I have to believe that

My legs are on fire, but damn the later part of workshift was so much fun
