Hello, long time no see. Wanted to give a small quick update.

Spirit's World is still on HIATUS, but I plan to return to it LATE 2024.

I'm so sorry for how long this hiatus was. I intended to have the comic update this year, but 2023 was a very rough year for me for a multitude of reasons, but primarily just college BS sprinkle dinkled with a healthy helping of STRESS.

But do not worry, Spirit's World will return at some point, most likely after I graduate from college (that's mid 2024)! Hopefully whilst receiving my license accreditation so I can, you know, work.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you continue to enjoy what I have in store! If accepted, you might see me at a booth in a convention selling physical copies of my comic amongst other things🤞.

trafalgar law but 2x

"they are russian. he, romanian." on the one hand, a possible attempt at explaining the differences in their reaction to their impending doom, calling on a wealth of cultural and ethnic stereotypes and connotations. on the other hand, leaving behind just a little more information about these three men who will die on the demeter just like the captain, a truth that everyone on the ship can feel as if it were tangible. in the unlikely case someone were to find and read that journal after all is done, they may still be anonymous, but at least it will be known where they hailed from

thinking abt what you said with house viewing Benny as a son and I’m obsessed. Like. The man spent most of his life before the war presumably alone, and then after the bombs fell he was alone again, save for AI he himself devised. Then he decides to pull in some Tribes, and one kid shows promise! So sure, treat him well, train him, groom him to be his protege, then next thing you know UH OH he’s got developing paternal feelings towards this guy. Wanting some semblance of a family when the time has long since passed, yet fostering that feeling all the same seems so accurate for him. Benny meanwhile only views him as a boss, and not a particularly good one at that. makes me wonder how House must’ve felt when he found out about Bennys plans

I view it as House blames only himself for this, cause he kind of does in canon (strap in this is a long one).

When reflecting on the issue of Benny, House chastises himself first and foremost for not acting quickly enough when it comes to priming Benny. He describes Benny as being ambitious, ruthless and capable; compliments coming from a man like House. House has an ego and while he is logical enough to understand there was never any evidence Benny saw him as a father-figure, he lacks the humility to admit he let his own views on his relationship with Benny blind him to the activities happening behind the scenes.

I doubt that House was as aware as he makes out about what Benny was doing, he knew early on but certainly not early enough to stop Benny from hacking and obtaining a securitron along with getting the chip in the first place. I take it he was distracted by all the possibilities he was calculating of Vegas' success and growth with him steering and Benny as the new figure head, not because of any normal affection for Benny but the admiration of his capabilities. It's to be noted that House believed menial incentives (likely caps, booze, basic needs, etc..) were enough to keep Benny tame like the other Chairmen but, as evidenced by the Omertas and Mortimer in the WGS, this is not enough when it comes to more driven Vegas citizens. This implies he still undervalued Benny and created a space in which Benny felt the need to rebel.

House in my eyes is not sentimental in the traditional sense. I can imagine his pride was severely scorned as someone he certainly deemed dumber than him was, albeit only for a little, able to out-gambit him. It would definitely hit home seeing how his brother also betrayed him but I feel like that's why he's so apathetic when he tells the Courier to do as they see fit with Benny. I doubt the way he terrorized his brother brought him any emotional satisfaction other than a "Now who's in charge!" ego boost. Putting that same emotional intensity towards Benny isn't worth it because who does it benefit? Wasted time, wasted planning, and most importantly wasted potential are all he gets from continuing to be hands-on with Benny. I say the closest example is not being able to throw out old toys due to the memories attached but knowing it's necessary as they are broken or just taking up space for new ones, and then asking someone else to do it so you don't need to get caught up in the feelings of throwing something you put so much effort into. It's not Benny House cares about in my mind, not in a way that sounds healthy to any non-emotionally constipated individual, but what he could've represented for him, which is why he so quickly offers the same position to the Courier.

As for Benny's view on all of this, it was a long time coming. Benny didn't and doesn't believe House is a completely shitty boss. He admires what he's been shown and admits House knows how to run the strip, but disagrees with the directions. Ideologically, House is an anarcho-capitalist while Benny is just an anarchist. House wants to run the strip to profit, though money is not what he's concerned with being rich with anymore. Benny wants a free state that he wishes to become a place for the people, except for the Chairmen who would be on top (I like to remind people that Benny's motives were selfish but not for personal gain/power as was it for the people he actually saw as family). Benny was never looking for a father but a future. He was not interested in being adopted, or having the chairmen adopted, as bigger names still overshadowed in House's legacy.

Truly, it's easiest to summarize as House feeling strongly and thinking positively enough of Benny to start incorporating him into the future of Vegas (a huge honor actually) while Benny was so disillusioned by House's ego and indifference that he thought the only way Vegas could be the future is with House gone.

ok i want to ask this in a nonjudgmental way and space but how do we feel about people who are literally living off of tumblr donations? like i'm not saying people who signal boost "oh a medical expense happened out of nowhere", but like specifically people who are living on their own and openly admit they have no income besides donations from tumblr users. before anyone accuses me of making up a person to be mad at: i am thinking of a specific situation that i've seen for months if not years now.

Most underrated type of tf, GO!!

Oh my GOD- okay first off to be clear: everyone has one of these. Everyone has an opinion on what kind of TF is underrated, what kind they want to see more of and what they think deserves more love, and they're all right. TF is a wide as hell interest, and like god damn we're insatiable, but that's alright because it really IS good. (so long as it isn't hurting people but that's a given.)

That said.

Fucking. OC TF. I want to TF into your OCs. I WANT TO TF INTO SO MANY OF YOUR OCS SO BAD THEY'RE SO COOL OR HOT OR CUTE OR GENDER OR WELL CRAFTED OR ALL OF THE ABOVE AND EVERYTHING, and holy GOD I wish people made more TF content for their extremely extremely TFable OCs. Fursonas or sonas in general, dnd characters, original content characters, in-universe self inserts or other OCs made for canon material, the list goes on and on and on and ON. OC TF IS SO, SO UNDERRATED.

(I suffer from what I like to call 'chronic fast TF mood metabolism' and it's terminal. It's forever. I'm in this for the long haul. I see a hot character or a fat OC or a fuzzy AU of a character or a goddamn cool half-finished sketch of a design for something (usually ANYTHING) and I pick that TF mood up so fucking fast. I'm so FUCKED, you have to understand. Please, please make TF content of your extremely TFable OCs I am STARVING.)

OC TF is the Best TF, and you can quote me on this because I am RIGHT!

when an unstoppable force (merlin) meets an immovable object (gaius)

au where raffi discovers the 21st century concept of ‘escape rooms’ + makes the la sirena crew try out increasingly complicated holo-escape rooms that she’s found..... until the rest of the crew refuse to take part anymore because raffi’s just singlehandedly solving them in like 10 minutes flat whilst the rest of them are occasionally allowed to unlock a padlock or read out a clue for her 

not me openly admitting that shade lowkey takes after me. this was not intentional, I swear. uwu; she kinda just... ended up with an extra dose of who I am as a person, whereas most of my original characters receive much less.

I realized this when considering that shade is most likely homo leaning. and I was like, haha she's just like me ! an enby ace lesbian... and then the similarities just kept getting drawn. idk maybe I'm just overly tired.

also like. not gonna apologize ? she really isn't a self-insert. but its also like... creators are allowed to put themselves into what they make ! and I'm proud of shade, I really am. so I won't be made ashamed for traits we might share.

wait people actually follow my tsams account 😭

american politics personal rant under the cut

man. maybe i'm just getting older and finally becoming completely disillusioned, which i'm embarrassed and frankly ashamed took me so fucking long, but man. this next election is so fucked.

not happy about it but i currently still plan on voting for biden in november, because trump has gone on record saying he would also support the israeli military if elected. in addition to that he's also a fucking moron, a racist, a xenophobe, and has made it clear he plans to strip all women in the united states of any abortion rights as well as come for the rights of gay people to marry. with another four years of presidency he could easily go on to make policies that will negatively impact u.s citizens as well as citizens of PLENTY of other countries -- let's not forget america is a world superpower -- for generations to come, just like he did last time he was president. lesser of two evils and all that stupid bullshit.

so. voting for trump or not voting for biden or not voting at all isn't going to stop the u.s. from continuing to support israel. letting trump win though (which i'm beginning to believe is unfortunately inevitable, considering how many voters despise biden now for what he's done in palestine and how much support trump has kept since 2016) will almost certainly just make things worse for everyone. logically the choice seems obvious right...?

well. i occasionally find myself siding with the people who are deciding to say "fuck it, no one deserves my vote. fuck trump. fuck biden. i cannot morally vote for either of them." i don't feel good about the decision that will have to be made, but i hope no one gets offended when i say that i think this is too short-sighted of a response. if i could press a button that made biden drop dead on the spot i would, but he's still got my vote... for now. because i can acknowledge that... tragically, disappointingly, infuriatingly... he's still the better candidate. but i won't tell anyone who to vote for because that's your right and honestly if you choose to abstain from voting this election i fully understand where you are coming from. hell, i might end up being one of you.

and let's be real you guys let's be really for real and live in reality. NO third party is going to win unless something absolutely batshit happens in the next six months. none of them have even the slightest chance. trust me i wish they did. but they don't. like someone else on tumblr once accurately said, "the revolution is not coming." not now, at least. if voting third party is your way of communicating to the government that you don't agree with either of the main party candidates, then i respect that. but a third party candidate is simply not going to win, or even come close.

it's just so sad that these are our only choices. i've voted in the past for people i don't completely agree with (and no i'm not an obama dick rider, i know full well he's committed crimes against humanity just like most if not all other u.s. presidents) but not in my lifetime have i ever felt that the options were this unbelievably terrible. both candidates fully deserve to rot in hell as far as i'm concerned.

at this point i'm still considering writing in something like "fuck biden, fuck trump, fuck the united states government, fuck the israeli government, and free palestine" on the ballot. at least that way i'm SOMEHOW sending the message that the citizens of this country are deeply deeply angry at the perpetuation of genocide of an innocent people at the hands of our current president. then again, i just can't bring myself to believe that that would do any good at all. we'll see i guess.

and to all those bravely protesting the palestinian genocide on college campuses and everywhere else around the country right now, you are the only ones who fully have my support. thank you, you all are the ones inspiring my pessimistic ass to take my own action right now. you guys, not the ones in power, are the ones who will bring change.

mr. "talk it through as a crew" is the most hypocritical about his own rule, and i think it's hilarious, HOWEVER i can completely see where that comes from -- a lifetime of being shut down for talking too much could definitely leave you with a tendency to bottle up your own feelings, even as you preach the opposite. to me, it seems like, with this mantra, stede was trying to create the environment he's always craved: a place where you can talk about your feelings and seek support. but he still doesn't see himself as someone who should be sharing... season 3, please let this man talk about his feelings!!!

“what to tell a doctor to get an autism diagnosis” “here’s what i learned from realizing i was autistic at 40″ “i would never want a professional diagnosis” “person first language is so regressive” “autism symptoms are only a problem because of ableism” “we dont need treatment” “no autistic person wants a cure” “four doctors told me i couldn’t be autistic so i found a fifth” “autism is an invisible disability” “dont disclose your neurodivergency to employers” “i/dd and autism have nothing to do with each other” “nt parents/advocates have no place in autism communities” “of course im autistic have you heard me talk about horror movies” babe i have nothing in common with any of you

I know there's nothing wrong with looking at other jobs but it feels vaguely like cheating to be like "yeah! I'm totally having a good time here!" in my review

Hiya :) I was able to come up with most of the money I needed this month on my own/through Tyrell & Aunt Doom, with the exception of cat food ($37.99) and my naltrexone prescription ($35).

If you have any funds to spare toward either of these items, I would be most appreciative 💛
