#but this time i was asked so??

If you were going to write a starfire comic series what would you have it be about?

I've had some ideas

a shorter series would be another one of those "Kory goes traveling, in an attempt to find herself outside of the titans" (but ya kno a little more respectful to the character..😅) Dealing with the fact that people will always know she's an alien and in general just know who she is, because she's been one of earths heroes since she was a teen. She can't do like Superman and create an alternate persona, because she doesn't look entirely human. She can't go home to her planet because Komandr is in control and she is having a hard time fully connect with regular people on earth. At first she uses her popularity and enjoys it, she models and parties and are given all sorts of opportunities but in the end it all drains her inner fire and makes her more lonely than ever. Then she's given a chance with a cloaking spell from Zatanna but hiding who she is completely drains her solar powers. In the end she realizes she needs to go back to Tamaran one last time, and somehow make peace with her family and Komandr, and solve the galactic pressure their planet has been under from rivaling aliens for decades.

And a Dickkory one! centering around what their lives would become, as they make a family. one issue being that Dick is still associated with Bruce and therefor batman. Kory and the kids would essentially have to hide their alien features and powers, in hopes of giving Mari and Mark a childhood as normal as possible. But eventually it becomes too hard for mari to hide it and there would be an incident with cadmus and kory trying to save her child but ends up traumatizing her, and it strains their relationship for years. Also mark activates his powers but since he is half/half his human body cannot contain his starbolts and burns him, which also traumatizes him and makes him suppress his powers until one day when he really needs them?

and all sorts of short stories like the ones i've already made!

Like when Dick finally lets Kory take off his mask and tell her his true identity :'>

would you consider yourself an intelligent and sensitive pervert?

i've been saving this in my inbox for months because i don't feel like i have the words to match this. it's a shameful breach of my humility to answer yes, yes i do consider myself an intelligent and sensitive pervert. i love how you worded that. this is like a therapist's screening question.

i feel like not enough ppl are factoring in the cultural clash between laios and shuro and the many micro agressions shuro faced while being in their group. literally the name 'shuro' in itself is one

his name is toshiro 😭 lets also not forget that he has his own communication issues, in the opposite way that laios does- thats literally a factor in their argument, that his envy for laios's ability to express himself sincerely manifested as part of his distaste for him.

ig all this to say like, was their fight heart wrenching, especially when reading laios as autistic? absolutely. anybody whos ever been in laios's position knows how much it hurts to realize someone you thought was your friend doesnt actually like having you around, especially when they didnt tell you and you had no way of knowing due to not understanding their cues. but im begging yall to step back and see the nuance of this situation cause im gonna be real a lot of you are kinda just brushing over it acting like everything is toshiros fault and that hes a terrible person when in reality hes an average guy who really, really clashed with laios and it led to a very long misunderstanding due to their supremely opposite methods of communication. even laios and toshiro, after letting everything out in their fight, were able to come to an understanding and start a foundation for an actual friendship built on better communication

ok yknow what Edit: i shouldve made it even more explicit at the end of this post, i hadnt thought i would need to since i started the post with this, but i think a few too many people are missing my point so i just wanna clarify. i shouldnt have said 'really clashed' and left it at that because yeah they did, but it wasnt just their opposite methods of communication, it is also very much that toshiro was experiencing microaggressions via laios. it may have been unintentional on laios's part, but it still happened and wore him down, made it harder for him to communicate on top of both the more subtle social cues that he was raised with and his own communication difficulties. i also want to say that the fandom reaction to toshiro and the complete ignorance of this point is also racist tbh or at the very least ignorant. i understand that the anime did not cover this panel, and neither did the manga, as this was an omake, but im gonna be real with you guys. there are enough context clues within the story to clue you into this. if you didnt pick up on it thats ok, but i think this is a good lesson in picking up subtext in the stories that youre watching and/or reading. kui shouldnt have to explicitly say 'by the way laios was racist to toshiro' for this point to be understood, and at the very least, when the author portrays a character in a sympathetic light (as kui clearly does) it should make you question Why they are doing so and what makes them sympathetic, rather than youre immediate and only reaction to be 'well i hated what this guy did/said so i hate them and they suck'. idk exactly how to finish this, just. idk. question your biases and gut reactions to things you see in media and stories, and think about whether or not theres subtext that youre missing.

Day - 7

[pangur-and-grim]

ah......I might have priced myself out of a cool work opportunity. it's happened before - serious industry people come to me with projects that would take half a year of me working full time, and then I calculate my mortgage, my food, my various bills, add a sprinkle of profit on top so that I'm not just breaking even, and ask for that. and the response is always "wtf, you're insane!"

I don't like working in illustration. it's why I barely do any freelance anymore. my wrists are ruined, my back is ruined, and I have to make enough to keep living. I can't jump for crumbs anymore.
