i just noticed that tiger tiger got taken off the homepage of hiveworks, whats going on?

Hiveworks is closing down its publishing side! They also gave the online publishing rights back to me, so i seized the opportunity and i’m in the process of leaving hiveworks and becoming fully independent.

I’ll see what i can do with the last two unpublished book of tigers, but it won’t be via hiveworks.

Two major sales will happen during this year to clear out the warehouse of book one and other merch, so if people -especially ones located in the US- want a book, this is a good chance to get it! Later any leftover books and merch will be shipped to finland and the postals will be very expensive from here to the US- but cheaper for people on this side of the globe.

first sale will happen from mid-april until the end of may, so keep your eyes peeled!

honestly you can convince parents that just about anything is necessary for their kids’ well-being except, like, respecting their boundaries/identities/basic human rights.

like, people will spend hundreds of dollars on classical music brain training kits for literal newborn infants because someone on good morning america said it might make them 0.3% smarter but god forbid you tell them to stop reading their kids’ fuckin diaries or use their correct pronouns.

TVTropes gets made fun of a lot but it is a little astonishing how consistent that wiki's voice is. It's a great wiki to go to if you want to simulate having one specific autistic fifteen-year-old computer nerd infodump to you about any piece of media that exists. To be clear I am saying this as an overwhelmingly positive thing

The Art of Splatoon 3, Pages 222-225. Information on Alterna and Fuzzy Ooze.

222 Alterna After going through the Crater, we arrived at a land called “Alterna”. It was once home to a fairly advanced civilization, though they no longer exist. In the center of the six sites, there appears to be a rocket launch pad.

223 The Memories of Alterna live on in the Relics A massive shelter that is the last thing built by humans who escaped from the rising sea levels. These survivors named the place “Alterna” to express their regrets for their past deeds and their wish to build another Earth, free from the boundaries of things like time and race. The islands floating in the waters of Alterna are decorated with monuments that resemble famous landmarks from around the world, as if to recreate the Earth as it once was. Despite its subterranean location, the sky is visible, but this is due to the liquid crystals applied to the walls of the cavern, which emit light to imitate the sky.

224 and 225 are typeset, includes ALT text.

(It's hard to see in the scan, but whats being pointed at in the part that reads "what has become of the mammals of the past" on page 224 appears to be a blobby human figure. cool<3)

I love when household beasts are like whoa. You were gonna piss all on your own? No backup or companionship or anything? Babe. I got you. I'm right here. You don't have to be alone during this difficult time (pissing), and you won't be. Ever. This is not a discussion.

tbh I really dislike how aphobia tends to be discussed whenever there's some kind of incident that makes it visible to general society. The most common response seems to be some variation of "why would anyone hate asexual/aromantic people, they aren't even doing anything" and it just always sits wrong with me. It paints such a passive picture of our existence and feels like a comment influenced by the level of invisibility that aspec people have in society. Why would you be annoyed by someone who is practically invisible? Just go back to ignoring their existence, it's easy!

But despite the invisibility, aspec people are actually doing quite a lot of things that will piss off queerphobic, right-wing and religious people (and hell, even left-wing people). And the most obvious point is that we are actively not performing heterosexuality the way they want us to. People who's entire world view is "cis men and women should be in monogamous, heterosexual marriage and have (white) babies" are not going to lean back and say "oh but those asexuals and aromantics are fine". They will also hate our guts, and they will come up with all sorts of reasons, including insinuating we're all secretly into bestiality, or mentally ill, or not human, or attention seeking children. It's just plain old queerphobia, and like all queerphobia, there's no inherent logic to it which you can worm your way out of by "not doing anything".

And like, there's a lot more that aspec people do which people hate. Raising awareness about amatonormativity? People feel attacked, they hate it. Asexual people having sex? Or not having sex? People hate it! Aromantic people being in (seemingly) romantic relationships? People fucking hate it! Aromantic people having sex? Ohh people hate that!!

I guess the existence of aphobia can be confusing when you haven't spent much time thinking about asexuality and aromanticism, but in the end, these are identities that aren't heteronormative and they will be hit with the same or similar bigotry as any other queer identity. I just get tired of this response after seeing it recycled for 10 years without ever seeming to go any further.
