"I am going to put a stop to your fornication with the sea. She belongs to me."
-- Spartan general Callicratidas to general Conon of Athens for various reasons but none that justify this phrasing.

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.
except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?
at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.
except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.
about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.
he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.

Hi I’m a newly discovered system and its been causing me a little stress that I (the host?) don’t experience blackouts or full amnesia, but then I read some of your old posts about feeling like everything’s in grayscale and emotional amnesia and was like “:0 that’s like me!”
I was wondering if you would be okay describing what it feels like when someone else fronts? That’s something I’m trying figure out for myself and maybe hearing other people’s experiences would help ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(Also all the comics are amazing keep up the good work 👍)
so the uhhh. so the person fronting never really feels like they "disappear" or get pushed away it just feels like they Change Into A Different Person . but we still Exist while not fronting but nobody remembers what that's like because w. yeah no i don't get the technicalities of how this works i'm not worrying about it too hard

Story Post 15 (Part 1)
AU MASTER POST
BEGINNING | PREVIOUS | NEXT (tbd)
[Image ID under the cut]
[IMAGE ID: Two pages of a black and white comic.
PAGE ONE
PANEL ONE:
Luz stares up in fear, caught in the relic room of the castle.
"Why if it isn't Eda's human pet!"
PANEL TWO:
Lilith looms over her.
"How perfect."
PANEL THREE:
A distant view of one of the castle's towers.
PANEL FOUR:
Caleb is throwing a pot on his potter's wheel. He's wearing an apron and his reading glasses, his hair tied up in a bun. He's sticking his tongue out, calm and concentrated as he works.
PANEL FIVE:
CRASH!
Caleb jerks comically in surprise, splattering his pottery everywhere.
PANEL SIX:
BAM BAM BAM!
Caleb takes off his glasses, turning towards the noise coming from the nearby window.
PAGE TWO
PANEL ONE:
The racket continues, overwhelming the panel.
An overhead view as Caleb stands up on his crutches and moves towards the noise.
"What in the Titan's name is going on??" he wonders.
PANEL TWO:
Caleb looks out the window.
"I can't see anything from here," he thinks.
PANEL THREE:
The noise breaks off into a screech, followed by silence.
A close up of Caleb looking through the bars of his window, eyebrows raised in bemusement.
PANEL FOUR:
His expression changes to uncertainty.
"It stopped..." he thinks.
PANEL FIVE:
Hunter throws the door open with a BANG, Belos following behind him.
"DAD!" he yells happily.
Caleb jolts, startled.
PANEL SIX:
"You'll never guess what just happened!" says Hunter excitedly.
Caleb turns to him, wiping the clay off his hands with a towel.
"Violence and destruction of property?"
"Well, yes," answers Hunter, "but--."
PANEL SEVEN:
Belos stands at Hunter's side and rests his hand on his shoulder. Hunter puts his hands on his hips and smiles at Caleb proudly.
"Lilith Clawthorne has finally captured the Owl Lady," says Belos.
PANEL EIGHT:
Caleb clutches his shirt as he looks at them, horrified. The panel around them is black except for the barred window behind him.
"She captured her own sister?" he asks.

It's always, like, mildly annoying when people see a het trans couple and go "all that work just to be straight?" like... one, you don't know if they're straight and two, trans people don't owe you a queer sexuality to "make up" for the fact we're trans. Transhet people aren't a subtype of trans people, they're members of the trans community, and the queer one if they so desire!
