#O Human Star

[bluedelliquanti]

It's Pride month! If you're a new follower and aren't familiar with my work yet, or are looking for comics to read, check out...

O Human Star: my 2012-2020 webcomic about an inventor who wakes up in a robot body after being dead for 16 years and seeks out his former partner and the young android who shares a copy of his mind.

Meal: an aspiring chef moves to town, meets a cute girl, and tries to get hired at a restaurant that specializes in insect cuisine. Written with my friend Soleil Ho.

Across a Field of Starlight: two nonbinary teens from two very different spacefaring societies meet by chance and stay in touch even as a galaxy-spanning war threatens them both.

Adversary: A former women's self defense instructor stumbles into a messy relationship with a former student who has since transitioned. My covid-era feel-bad book. Adults only.

I also have digital versions of comics I've made over the years at my itch.io and Patreon, and signed books in my store. Thanks for your support, and happy Pride!

Time for the annual fridge update! (would normally be on Twitter, but... you know)

mostly magnets from Dumbing of Age(/It's Walky!) but also some from Death Note, Dragons & Beasties, Grickle, Gunnerkrigg Court, O Human Star, Pixelaser, the Reading Rainbow Kickstarter, random places I've forgotten where, one aquarium thing that was left by the prior owners, and the odd sticker I've put on a throwaway magnet from junk mail and cut out to make a custom magnet

I recently read a really lovely webcomic called ‘O Human Star’. It’s queer and it has robots, so it’s basically made for me

If you like El Goonish Shive

If you like El Goonish Shive, I think you might like Dungeon Meshi, and also O Human Star. They're all three different situations entirely, but Dungeon Meshi has the same earnest portrayal of neurodivergence and the same sense of responsibility to its characters and its readers; and all three have that incredible and sometimes painful compassion for their characters. Dungeon Meshi's kinda long, though not One Piece long, and having recently concluded you can also rest assured it is finite and has an ending as intended. O Human Star is much shorter, much more freely available on its own site. While it lacks in what one might say are obvious warnable content, it does have a forking/cloning situation somewhat coincidentally a bit like Elliot's and Ellen's, and I know one person at least who cannot deal with forking content; there's one death, but it doesn't stick, and is what sets the story in motion; and there's self-harm scars but it's plot-relevant that they're not talked about, much less actively engaged in creating. That said, it's intense. I know only one person who's read it through without having to take a break just to come up for air, and at eight approachably short comic chapters, that says a lot. Personally, I didn't get through the first chapter before I had to lay down and sob uncontrollably. My wife managed to make it all the way to the middle of chapter eight before she had to stop and take it in, and another friend made it to chapter seven before they had to pull out for a bit. It's a lot.

[streetwiseangel]

I’m just asking how many of you read O Human Star as it was being published, comic by comic, week by week, not knowing where the story was going. How many of you were filled with grief when it ended because it was such a constant touchstone in your otherwise turbulent life, and yet felt incredible satisfaction at the mundane & unexplainable story that the comic itself had earlier positioned as looming and unconquerable. I don’t know. It was something soft in a time when I needed something soft. Anyone else?

the thing I was most looking forward to doing when Al came out the last year of OHS running was making this the Halloween drawing that year.

[jjsanguine]

I'm rereading O Human Star and knowing the entire plot really makes an experience reading the part in chapter 3 when Al is giving Sulla advice on how to pass. It's advice borne from lived experience,,, but living that way was probably a not insignificant contributor to Al's organs eating themselves and putting his flesh-mech in the ground at age 40

I just read O Human Star by Blue Delliquanti and I need to lie down and stare at the ceiling and feel every emotion in the world. This was an absolutely beautiful read in every way. If anyone needs me I'll be in the corner crying over robots stepping into change and the future
