“Sketchbook Comic” is my personal sketchbook, where I juxtapose my art with writing about my experiences as a non-binary, chronically ill person.

Based on the fact that Benimaru said that Amaterasu "felt bloody" : fic idea!

Basically, what if teenage Benimaru, feeling this bloody thing, wondered what it was about and went to check?

Landing on the Amaterasu itself, he feels something else coming from inside. And it's rage. He's never felt such rage. And it feels kind of sentient. That's not very good.

So Benimaru begins to talk to it. He figures, being angry like that all the time must be very tiring. And being stuck inside the Amaterasu must be very boring. So he talks to it and learns to decipher the spikes in its bloodlust as if it were communicating. He eventually learns that it is a her. He learns that the rage she gives off feels a bit more like amusement when he shit-talks the sun church. He learns she's lonely and probably unaware of that. So he keeps coming. Week after week, year after year. Sitting on top of Amaterasu, he talks to her. He tells her about what's happening in Asakusa, the way the twins are growing so fast, how he's worried about his future responsibilities, how the granny down the street is teaching him how to cook so he can surprise Konro for his birthday, how it's been hot today but she probably feels hot all the time so he describes how cold feels like because she's probably forgotten, he tells her about the sunrise seen from Amaterasu, he asks her yes or no questions since it's the only answers he can really decipher. And he asks if she can remember what a hug feels like and she says no so he tells her, he's not the greatest with words but he tries.

She's a friend, at some point. He doesn't know If she sees him as a friend too, if she still knows how to feel positive emotions, but he figures the way her rage softens when she hears him coming says enough.

I hate when people see one (1) meme made by a group of people they don't belong too (lgbt+ or neurodivergent for example) and go like "the new generations humor is shit" "is this the pinnacle of comedy of nowdays?" "I hate [probably a marginalized group] humor" "[this group of people] is so unfunny"

like. You saw one dumb joke. You could have just ignored it. You could even say you found it unfunny. Sometimes only the creator of the joke found it funny. Perhaps it was satire and not even the creator of the joke actually found it funny. But of course you have to hate the whole group of people and their mothers

What really sold the idea of modern au to you since you have always been far away from that trope, would you have seen your past self ever modernizing GOW 😆

Nothing. I still don't like it.

But Listen, hear me out... It's different with my child, my baby, my fic, because my fic is the perfect smart baby that can do no wrong and yes that does mean you need to ignore that it may be as snotty-nosed as the rest.

But fleshing out a fun concept with a friend on the server did make it more interesting. I typically hate reading boring modern-day problems because why in the Pillbury Dough Boy fuck would I want to read fiction like that when I live it. But fleshing out this weird relationship and finding a way to make it Modern-day Heimtreus has been interesting to force it to work since Mordenizing Heimdall can either mean making him someone that commits hate crimes or watering him down to be a regular day asshole.

There's also that I get to put funny anecdotes into this fic. Some of them are mine or a family member's or a friend's or completely made up but they have been so much fun to write. I hope it's fun for others to read it like it is for me to write it

the moment I heard elphaba's delivery of "there's a girl i know..." in i'm not that girl i knew i had to draw this comic, i strongly recommend listening to it while you read for the full experience!

this comic is a companion to this piece (which was inspired by glinda's delivery of the same line in the i'm not that girl reprise).

pages 1-4 are from elphie's pov, pages 5-8 are from glinda's.

i feel like people are skimming over the uk riots in a way that makes me want to tear my hair out. muslims in the uk are in active danger. immigrants in the uk are in active danger. refugees in the uk are in active danger. people of colour in the uk are in active danger. asian communities in the uk are in active danger. black communities in the uk are in active danger.

there are massive far right riots throughout the country right now and people like fucking elon musk and nigel farage are inciting it and still have a platform to speak. people have used three young girls deaths, people's genuine grief in southport, to try and gain traction for their own racist bullshit and it's working.

a lot of refugee charities have been forced to close leaving many people without support, homes, funding, food, etc. if you aren't able to donate please consider sending a message via the conversation over borders campaign! it will send a hopeful, welcoming letter to a refugee in the uk. there is also a guide to staying safe here.

please do your own research and donate to refugee charities, anti-islamophobia charities, mosques who are trying to rebuild after being destroyed, counter protesters, here are some i've heard positive things about but the list is extensive; southport strong together (support for the southport victims and their families), southport mosque rebuilding, riot repair fund, middlesbrough vulnerable residents, nasir mosque rebuilding, hull help for refugees, bristol welcomes migrants,
