[ID: El Goonish Shive panel. Sarah asks, "What about you? You're not feeling an inexplicable desire to talk to me about Star Trek, are you?" Susan replies, "Yes, but that's normal." End ID.] (Don’t mind me, I’m just always looking for an excuse to use that image.)

Starting a game of the Star Trek ttrpg with my coworkers and I’m playing an Andorian. The Andorian naming convention is a sharp, clipped first name, a gendered prefix that stands for male/female member of the clan, then the clan name.

I’m playing as Bart Tch-Simp.

Don’t have a space-cow, man.

[ID: El Goonish Shive comic panel. Grace, a pointy-eared humanoid, looks to an anthropomorphized brain in desperation. She asks, "Brain! What do I do with this information!" The brain holds up a sign that says, "This is somewhat tangential, but I recommend counseling. You've been through a lot." She replies plaintively, "Oh, that's what you ALWAYS say!" /end ID]

[xanthumn]

The above panel is from the webcomic El Goonish Shive and I want to talk about it for a minute. 

El Goonish Shive is a….weird webcomic. I’ve been reading it since I was in high school. In all honesty, it started off pretty shitty. Bad art, not the best writing, but in the, damn, what, 7 years, I’ve been reading it, it’s really developed into a story that I like. (No, really, if you decide to read this, the first like…3 arcs are just…really hard to get through. It’s worth it overall though.) 

It’s a weird story. There’s aliens, and super science transformation guns, and body swapping antics, and gender “switching” antics, and evil plots, and card game tournaments, and romance, and humor, and it’s a very hard story to explain to people. Like, one of my favorite arcs involved one of the Protags, Elliot, accidentally getting a magical female twin clone named Ellen who then goes on to date Elliot’s ex-girlfriend. You just have to roll with it. 

The character with the pink hair up there is Tedd, and the brown haired girl is Grace, his (magic) girlfriend. 

Tedd has been a main character since the very beginning. He used to wear his hair long and had thick glasses because he worried he had kind of a girly face. He recently cut/dyed his hair because he decided to embrace his girly face though, which was cute. He’s builds super science stuff, and it was sort of a running gag for a long time that he enjoyed playing around with his transformation gun, making himself look like a hot chick sometimes, or an alien….or a hot alien chick. This has been a recurring gag for YEARS.

And then…well….this comic happened last week, and that running gag suddenly became so, so much more.

I keep coming back to this strip and staring at Tedd’s face, how defensive he is about enjoying being a girl sometimes, the shock he feels when there’s a word for it. There’s a word for what he is, and it doesn’t mean he’s broken or bizarre. There are other people out there like him, other people will understand why he feels this way. I remember the first time someone told me about the word “bisexual” and suddenly it was like this huge part of me made sense. 

Poor Tedd has been silently struggling with these feelings, still caught up in cissexist notions of gender and sex (notice the use of “opposite sex” in there.) And now he has a moment of revelation. He has a word for it now: Gender Fluid. I just want to hug him. 

I’m really excited to see how this will develop as the comic goes on. I’m excited to see this comic, which is so often just silly humor and magic stuff, developing even farther to give us more and more diversity with these characters. And I’m just excited that Tedd is figuring out who he is.

I found a folder I apparently made and forgot that just has a bunch of reaction images from webcomics, and then added a new one for good measure.

Infestation 11.7

Howdy, Krixwell here!

Uh, hi. It’s time to--

--yeah. No need to be so ominous about it, though. Anyway, I’m here to read some more Worm!

No, I said read.

Who��s even putting these... anyway.

Last time, things got really interesting. We learned more about the tesseractids, or dandelions, or karahindibas, or whatever I should call them, as a new parahuman got his power - a quite deadly one - and the brawl swiftly drew to an end. Then Faultline’s crew showed up and removed the exits... I like the direction this is taking.

This time, we’ll get to watch as the Crew confronts the Merchants and tries to keep anyone else from drinking the super juice (Seriously, it makes very little sense that Taylor wouldn’t even think about trying to do something about that. She’s genuinely lucky the Crew presumably are.), while Taylor & co. try to avoid getting swept up in it all without revealing their identities to Faultline’s Crew. That sounds like it’ll be--

...fun. I was about to say “fun”. But yeah, “cool” works too.

So yeah, how are they supposed to get out of this? I suppose laying low might be the best chance they’ve got, but if it’s at all possible--

...yeah. That probably won’t be easy, though.

So without further ado--

Yes, yes, I’m getting to it!

Without further ado or reaction images in this post, let’s see what the Crew has in store!

And you beat me to it. But yes.

Dear El Goonish Shive, thank you lots and bunches for providing so many excellent reaction images over the years.

Do you take submissions? :3

And yes I'm aware that cutting the borders off is likely blasphemy but idc

WE DO! That being said, in the future please copy in the copyright and site address in the lower-right of each image, we want Dan to get full credit if one of these reactions becomes the next "This is fine".
