Finally now that the comic is fully public on comicfury, I get to share it with all of you here, too <3

If you enjoyed, please consider supporting by buying a PDF of the comic on itch.io: https://tawnysoup.itch.io/home-in-the-woods

#I'd rather not clutter the caption so I'll ramble a little in the tags #HitW is short but special to me as it represents and encapsulates some hard life experiences I was going through at the time of its creatio #Ofc in a more metaphorical manner! but. I have been very much enjoying reading people's comments and speculation as its been posting #the interpretations are so meaningful and varied and i love that and really want to encourage anyone to reflect on what it means to them #for me making this comic was a way to process and move past trauma. i feel like it ends anti-climactically but i wanted to be true to #where i thought things were actually going in my life moreso than to veer towards impact. ultimately im glad i managed to finish it #and for it to finish going public right before the new year? maybe i can see this as shedding that old pain in time to become something new #so thank you for reading for supporting and for still being here. lets wake up to 2025 with wind in our sails #Home in the Woods #my art #my comics #original comic #cw guns #cw blood #cw body horror

don't show him modern technology; it won't end well

bonus under the cut:

#i'm not sure if ford would really be interested in using the internet much #but i could see him wanting to look something up real quick and ending up reading something so outrageously wrong #that it pisses him off to the point that he gets into an argument about it lol #gravity falls #stan pines #stanley pines #stanford pines #digital art #my stuff #anyway i really don't like how this one turned out #but i don't feel like changing it #bc i already spent way more time on this than i actually wanted to #and i don't wanna look at it any longer

It would have taken another immortal to keep up with him.

so i haven't read the books but i did read the Devil's Minion chapter and this part made me laugh out loud:

#my art #interview with the vampire #iwtv #amc iwtv #armand iwtv #armand #daniel molloy #devils minion #armandaniel #ancient and powerful 500 year old vampire stalks Random Journalist for 4 years and accidentally falls obsessively in love with him #delectable feed it to me slowly like grapes #genuinely before i read this chapter i thought the armand/daniel dynamic was a nandor/guillermo type of renfield situation #i was not expecting it to be so weirdly wholesome #these two have canonically watched hit 1981 british comedy Time Bandits together like 800 times #deeply unserious i love them so much

#I should clarify that I’ll be continuing to work on this au #this is just the final part to the intro essentially #thank you everyone so much for reading as well!!!#it’s been really cool to see that I was firstly able to make a comic at all #but also that everyone seemed to actually understand what I was trying to convey #like it was dumped directly from my brain and somehow we’ve ended up on the same page #so that’s cool :)#my art #gravity falls #twins in time au #Stan pines #Stanley pines #Stanford pines #ford pines

I Saw the TV Glow is such a uniquely, devastatingly queer story. Two queer kids trapped in suburbia. Both of them sensing something isn’t quite right with their lives. Both of them knowing that wrongness could kill them. One of them getting out, trying on new names, new places, new ways of being. Trying to claw her way to fully understanding herself, trying to grasp the true reality of her existence. Succeeding. Going back to help the other, to try so desperately to rescue an old friend, to show the path forward. Being called crazy. Because, to someone who hasn’t gotten out, even trying seems crazy. Feels crazy. Looks, on the surface, like dying.

And to have that other queer kid be so terrified of the internal revolution that is accepting himself that he inadvertently stays buried. Stays in a situation that will suffocate him. Choke the life out of him. Choke the joy out of him. Have him so terrified of possibly being crazy that he, instead, lives with a repression so extreme, it quite literally is killing him. And still, still, he apologizes for it. Apologizes over and over and over, to people who don’t see him. Who never have. Who never will. Because it’s better than being crazy. Because it’s safer than digging his way out. Killing the image everyone sees to rise again as something free and true and authentic. My god. My god, this movie. It shattered me.

#i saw the tv glow #I saw the tv glow spoilers #it is SUCH a queer story #the disassociation. the hiding in fiction to feel alive.#the horror of watching time tick by and knowing you’re not who you’re meant to be #the unique paralysis of staying put in hell because it’s safer than what might be over the horizon #the tragedy of trying to help someone who isn’t ready to be helped #god it’s so much. god. rarely do I walk out of a film and just stare soundlessly into space #anyway. please see this movie. although I sort of hope if you’re reading this post it’s cuz you already have #eta: I used he because the main character never quite vocalizes another pronoun #but this is SUCH a trans story. suuuuch a trans story. it is not even a little subtle #it’s so good and so so painful

"jason is a knockoff watered down percy" NO hear me out, jason actually parallels annabeth immensely, sharing SO many similarities with her personality, not percy, in this essay I will-
