#and so the cycle begins anew

Are people really your friends if they take the side of someone that they know makes you uncomfortable through their actions and how they treat you when you confront them about it? No? I didn't think so

hi. I just read your entire comic in one go and I’ve gotta say I am in love with it. as a trans guy with hair that looks so much like Steve’s and who loves werewolves, I had to physically restrain myself from squealing out loud upon realizing he was trans, because I am currently living in a room with five other people in a small community in rural Alaska and didn’t want to explain to them the joys of seeing yourself in a character and then realizing “oh shit they’re trans like me”. I hope you are doing well, and may the gods of creativity and carpal tunnel bless you with much fruit in your artistic endeavors.

how could I ever show how deeply messages like this touch me... I never know what to say, I want so badly to have the proper words to show you how grateful I am

This is why I write. so that people get to feel like this, and I could never reflect that properly with just my words... But I want you to know that.

I hope to make something that is worthy of your love, and I hope every day that my work is sufficient to show I love you. so I'm relieved that it's succeeding and you feel seen.

Thank you for sharing this with me, I love you

absolute worst thing it could've been was "and it cycles back to the beginning."

no clear answers. no clear questions. no definitive statements. just more "guess I'll always be insecure, and we're not even sure that's a bad thing, the only bad thing is killing yourself."

I hope this isn't the conclusion they've been claiming it is. Because that was no conclusion at all.

i've been so incredibly scatterbrained as of late and i gotta get my butt back to writing. it's been my goal to talk and write with everyone i'm mutuals with, but the last time i properly reached out to all my mutuals was in february... just to help me organise my thoughts and jump back on that train, i'm putting this out as a plotting/starter call !!

aka i'll run into your dms, strike up plot ideas — or revitalise old chats that i've forgotten about — and write you something. does not matter if we already have threads or not. and if i've already been in your dms and forgot about them, feel free to treat this as a 'jude im in yr DMs' reminder button... or if i promised to write you smth and then didn't... 😅 or if you want to poke me abt a certain thread you're specifically waiting on. feel free to remind me here!!

i will crawl through my mutuals list eventually and reach out again to everyone regardless of whether you like this or not, but i'll start with these!

and re: my writing style... i occasionally try and wing it! love to see where a thread goes, love to send out memes and get them (though i'm trying to limit myself on both until i catch up with drafts again). but overall, i do lean more plot-oriented and would love to throw down ideas or at least introduce ourselves and then determine a simple setting/basic starter thread idea before getting into it!

we don't need to talk about everything and plan out the entire world/rship, but i like to have possibilities to swirl around in my brain, and shepard can be such a closed-off character in the start that it helps a lot ... + the fact that he has such a specific narrative arc emotionally and mentally means he can seem entirely a different person depending on which game of the trilogy we're talking. it helps to know which one you're most interested in writing within, and what we vibe with best — and, if your muse knows shepard throughout the trilogy or at least throughout m.ass effect 1 and 2, that change is something they have to navigate, and i'm always super down to help explore that!

me when I don’t experience symptoms of a problem for one singular day: waow…. Can’t believe I was lying and faking it the whole time…. I should tell my doctor there’s actually nothing wrong with me and it was all in my head…..

My hyperfixations have led to, well, extreme fixations that last for long periods of time. As expected. To the point where it's clearly an obsession that becomes the only thing I talk about for awhile. It happened with Diana and LWA. It happened with certain girls in Revue Starlight. Hippolyta, Psyche, Mikoto too. But at least these were happy interesting fixations. Then, once the series or whatever ends—or if I'm waiting awhile for the next canon update—the only thing keeping my interest afloat are fan content.

Can't say the same about Morgan and LB6. I'm so completely unwell after crawling out of the sludge of tragedy known as LB6. The chapter may have come to a close but boy am I still clawing at my heart—with or without fan content to fuel my insanity.

apologies for kinda spam-liking your ttawebcomic posts, I've just discovered tta and binged the whole thing in two-to-three hours

I am going to EAT YOUR ART STYLE IT GENUINELY MAKES ME WANT TO CRY FROM HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS. I HAVEN'T BEEN INSPIRED TO MAKE ILLUSTRATIVE ART IN SO LONG BUT YOUR WORK HAS INSPIRED ME

never apologize for spam liking, the posts are there and tagged for you to be able to find them easily! I want you to like them haha

I'm only sorry that I am. very sure I have forgotten to tag many pieces... I should go through my archive and address that soon probably.

And thank you so much, this is the highest honor I think an artist can have, inspiring someone else. I genuinely hope you have an incredible time drawing and you get to learn more about yourself through it

The other thing that’s happening is I made a doctor’s appointment about my weird gross eczema because I can’t TAKE this anymore
