Hello! I really like your comics but I've been wondering for a while... What's up with their dates being about a year ago? Do you have a notebook to be able to remember all those details or were they actually drawn a year back?

I hope you have a nice day^^

heyya ! This is absolutely something that Ishould have made a pinned post to address waayyy back so i'm answering this in hopes of taking care of that later todayyyy

The situation with the fucked up delays in these iiiis mainly initially to do with the coloring of them -which i'm still foolishly holding on to-, where I started getting some delays in posting a few years back, and letting the gap grow; Until nowww where there's a backlog of over a year of comics that require being coloured and/or scanned

I'm still mostly drawing them as the days go though, aside from a recent big delay i've recently caught up on, I usually draw them at most a few days after the actual date ! I would absolutely not remember anything otherwise because my memory is terrible

I personally like Thunder's prosthetic. Explained it to my friend (who does use a mobility device, a cane and wheelchair, and listens to me rant and infodump about BB) and they agreed, it's important to know that not every person needs what someone wants to give them. It's another example of "bad ableist person does a thing that hurts a disabled person because they are bad and ableist".

Clear Sky got Jagged Peak killed and would have killed Sunlit Frost! He would absolutely force his disabled son to be "normal" and present it like a privilege. "I wouldn't do this for anyone else, it's special, why don't you want to be helped?"

Thunder Storm should toss it in Clear Sky's face. (I would say toss it into the river but we do not pollute waterways in this house)

Thank you for telling me this, and tell your friend I'm thanking them too! If they have anything else to add please forward what they have to say

Since BB!DOTC tackles some of the heaviest topics in the entire series because its canon equivalent is so dark, I think very carefully about what I do here and how I show it. I take feedback on its sensitive aspects very seriously. If I'm understanding the criticism properly, it's that I should avoid stigmatizing prosthetics by making sure Thunder Storm's not the only one with it-- which he's not! And I'll add even more.

I don't want to avoid something only because it's uncomfortable if the topic is important, and my portrayal is respectful. Ableism IS uncomfortable! There are some situations where a prosthetic is not wanted! I think the rejection of this particular one is both a good opportunity to show a type of ableism and ALSO is very fitting for the characters.

In BB!Clear Sky's mind, the villain, he's fixing an old mistake. He can't admit that he got Jagged Peak killed or take REAL accountability for it (though he will, occasionally, apologize insincerely), but deep in his bones, he knows what he did was cruel. He'll never tell anyone this because he doesn't really cognate it himself, but Thunder Storm NEEDS to take his gift.

If Thunder doesn't take it, it blows a hole in his newest story. You see, throwing Jagged Peak out was All That Could Have Been Done back then. It was a Tragedy and he simply Made A Hard Choice. He regrets it very much, But You Have To Understand.

But now? Now? Well, behold. Look at what he's accomplished since the tragic death of his little brother. His cats are well-fed, cared for, and stable enough to make such incredible advancements. If only Jagged Peak had been able to hold on longer, if only he could be here now, I could fix him.

Just like I can (MAKE YOU JUST LIKE ME) fix you.

"Everything I've ever done is for Jagged Peak. For Fluttering Wing. For you." Thunder Sky is SPECIAL, but if he rejects any gift, tries to turn down the "privileges" offered to him, in an instant that becomes ungratefulness and arrogance. He both forces him to be special, and then leverages it against him if it's rejected. "Spoiled brat, doesn't appreciate what I've worked so hard to give him."

It all goes back to him and his own guilt. He can NEVER be wrong. He can't accept his family doesn't have to be "normal" or reflect his own ability. He won't see himself as a bully, let alone a murderer. It was never about his son's comfort or finding out what Thunder Storm wants or needs, it was about his own ego.

...All that said I'm still taking feedback if there's anything else I should keep in mind, or if anyone has a counter point, especially if you also have experience here.

(In the interest of having a link trail for posterity, here's the critique/call for feedback this is in response to)

new wip because i really wanted some masculine underwear for female sims, and it's been on my to do list for a long time! the texture is based on these 4t2 ones by lucilla

most of the boxers i could find for f sims are more like. inspired by boxers/briefs but still very 'meant for women'/feminine in design? in a 'boyfriend jeans' / 'boy briefs' kind of way. if that makes sense. and i really wanted actual simple masc boxer briefs 🤠

i paired them with a sports bra here but i'm also planning to have no bra + bottom only versions... and the ultimate goal is to also turn these into overlays, for that visible waistband under the low rise pants look (sort of as a companion to the thongs i was working on... i'm hoping to get both sets working in time for the y2k gos theme but we'll see if i can learn overlays before it ends 😅)

[koropukgoro]

Actually I will ramble a bit cuz my friend & I do have a hc we’ve been playing off of that involves tiny Vash but since it’s canon in stampede that Vash can change the density of his Gate & in maximum (my preferred trigun) how Vash can grow really Big and Monstrous (so can Knives) if he adds to his mass so he can support his size that maybe an Opposite effect can happen. While growing, Vash needs added mass to support his weight, but the bigger he gets, the more inhuman and more of a flesh singularity he becomes; that growth also causes him to lose his identity and get consumed by himself temporarily. Because I’m a silly guy who likes thinking his GT with logic… but also… maybe when Vash overuses plant juices, or his body needs to fall into recovery mode after extreme body harm / near fatal situations (or extreme psychological stress), he goes into what my friend and I call “power saving mode”. Back up battery. His body shrinks. Size varies but the smallest he’s gotten is 2 inches. There’s an inherent fear he has if he pushes himself over his limits he might go quantum & never recover… like how in stampede he shrunk his Gate into a quantum state… it’s a very round about kind of canon aligned hc to make Vash shrink and be tiny. And cuz he neglects his plant powers so much he can’t control it… not until much much later in maximum… but he mostly can’t… also reflects his plant ability to absorb / store energy and release it.

Something something we’ve had scenarios where Vash’s body & mind gets so stressed out mini psychotic break or physical issue just causes him to shrink in his hotel room in front of Wolfwood & the Girls… and basically whatever’s on him at the time shrinks too so what he’s wearing n stuff… hehehe itty bitty & a lil squeaky and definitely extremely nervous exchanges between handling & being handled. Also accidentally freaking out his companions. Being small reminds him he’s not human & it makes him feel a lil self conscious…

11, 30, 45, 52 for Balthazar and Tristian! <3

Thanks for the wait Rowan!! I think I umm. Went off prompt on some of these. Please forgive me. I also may have experienced a temporary madness on one of these, which I have not edited in any manner. Please also forgive that.

[prompt]

Do either try to hide their emotions if upset? Can the other still tell?

This is a question that I wound up spending more time thinking about than expected because I thought I knew the answer and then felt like I had to think a little more. The answer is “definitely yes but we can go into that with more detail.”

Balthazar is someone whose default approach to being upset ever in life is always to hide it. He hates being vulnerable and he hates other people knowing that something has gotten to him. He’s much more open with Tristian, but with such a low bar, that definitely isn’t the same as “fully honest and communicative all the time.” He doesn’t particularly like to show if something has upset him that he feels he should have handled (whether this is rational or not) or that was the result of a conflict with Tristian. With the first it’s still difficult to admit that kind of lack of control over himself or a situation, with the second he hates giving ground until he has to (which is part of why they are capable of just awful fights). And Balthazar is very good at hiding things when he wants to, but the trouble is that Tristian is very good at noticing them and has the level of familiarity with Balthazar to put together the pieces to understand what’s going on. Tristian is one of the few people Balthazar just can’t hide things from forever (notable others being Jaethal and, when present, Vio). Still, he tries. With all the stubborn pride he has, he tries.

Tristian is much more of an open book (at least, without anymore dark secrets to hide). But at the same time, they take some level of pride in being both polite and someone who is an eminently reasonable paragon of Sarenite virtue in any situation. There’s a kind of public face they value every bit as much as Balthazar. For that reason, Tristian prefers not to lose their cool in public or in direct confrontations- although they’re not the best at hiding anger from anyone observant or familiar with them. That kind of upset is absolutely something Balthazar knows how to spot and is often privately amused by. Distress isn’t hard for Tristian to show as long as it isn’t also in conflict with this face- being able to set an example for others is important, and in a very petty way so is not breaking down in the face of adversity. These small sleights of hand also aren’t difficult to read with experience. On the other hand, when it comes to the experience of having been used by Nyrissa or the loneliness of ongoing separation from their former life or the ugly slow understanding of parts of themself which aren’t so virtuous or kind, they struggle to share their sorrow or fear with anyone else. The pieces of themself they want to leave behind and the pieces they can’t bring themself to want to leave: those aren’t easy to show to even Balthazar. And those are things they have become very, very good at burying deep, and Balthazar often doesn’t know how to see until they erupt back to the surface.

Your OTP gets to pick out each other’s outfits; what is each wearing?

Tristian has never had much of a attentive eye for style, even before losing their sight. But if there’s one thing that would be rewarding, it would be Balthazar in traditional Sarenite garb. They know it’s a part of their world he isn’t a part of, but as a fantasy where everything important to them can be stitched together so perfectly, it has a guilty appeal. The bright colors would suit him: sky blue and flame red, and any other lively hue filling details out. Something loose and comfortable that would settle on him with easy elegance. It doesn’t have to be simple, doesn’t have to be plain- he’s the sort who would appreciate embroidered cuffs and hems bursting with life. Birds, crocuses, scattered little suns in gold, and more twining in patterns that feel as alive under a curious hand as they appear from afar. Something that would be as warm and vibrant to look on as the Balthazar that he knows is, the one with the breathless laugh and sunlit touch. The kind of thing with medallions sewn into its hem to catch the light and spin it into dizzying prisms across the floor: an effect that could only be magnified under the soft glow of a halo. Perhaps drawing a scarf, every bit as lovingly rendered, over those radiant curls. Not to hide him away, only to complete a vision (and perhaps for the intimacy of imagined privilege unwinding it again, alone). They’ve held the ghost of the image longer than they’d care to acknowledge. Even without the ability to gaze on the result the desire still lingers, waiting to be given voice.

Balthazar would like to dress Tristian up, just once. They’re hardly ever outside of vestments, and they don’t tend to dress for style on the rare occasion they’re in something else. He has a vision of an outfit appropriate for a prince, perhaps in silk, with vibrant blues and scarlets chased with golden embroidery. There can be a Sarenite element there- there’s plenty of opportunity for suns and birds and the ankh in the detailing in this vision, and besides it seems impossible Tristian would agree otherwise- but subtle and stately. There would be jewelry. Earrings, at the least, gold and ruby. Elegant brooches and clothing pins that would be so satisfying to help fasten. Rings set with ruby and topaz and fire opal, equally pleasant to place in a fantasy. Perhaps a circlet as well: the kind that Tristian continues to refuse no matter how simple it’s made. Simple, a concession to modesty, but present. And he’d like to do something with their hair. Those long locks are always half hidden under a hood, tangled and unkempt without intervention. He would plait them, maybe, or pin them back in a style more elaborate. Something that could be finished with a beautiful bow stained a scarlet deeper than the flush on Tristian’s face when they can feel too many eyes on them, too much attention all at once. It’s a selfish fantasy to want to put them on display. But he wants to. It’s part a matter of possession and pride, but part an act of worship: a desire to frame the greatest beauty in his life for the world to be dazzled by just as he is.

Can they fall asleep without each other?

Well, they can, but it’s a restless experience- for Balthazar especially. There’s a sense of security that comes from being together. Losing that after becoming so accustomed to it feels wrong. And Balthazar is a clingy sleeper who has become very used to being tangled up with Tristian. The bed feels too empty alone. It does make separation an effective tactic for wearing him down after stormier fights thought…

Of course, the other trouble with being separated is that without one keeping an eye on the other both tend to be awake long into the night with projects. They keep each other in check.

Describe their weekend getaway?

It’s hard for a king and his consort to travel within such a small radius without attracting attention. A lot of shorter trips are ones which have official pretense: visiting a community or a contact, or being present for a holiday, or any of many mundane excuses. Reasons to indulge in being places that come with the promise of reception. With a healthy network of contacts, Balthazar’s particular brand of public image, and Tristian’s sincere love of being a part of the culture of the kingdom, they make plenty of irregular appearances in the towns dotting the Shrike Hills and the Kamelands and scattered along the shore of the Tuskwater. Thanks to the teleportation circles that come to link the cities, at times they call on Maegar Varn as well for these short periods- although not often when Varn’s effusive hosting often demands longer stays. These types of trips are good, if exhausting. For whatever business might be involved, there’s still always music and merriment and people to meet or catch up with: a whirlwind of excitement.

But at other times there are quieter trips enabled by careful disguise. These are slower, less purposeful. Going down to an inn on the lakeshore near midsummer to enjoy the season’s warmth tempered by the shore breeze, for one. Calling briefly on the more private kind of friend, the type who keeps a tidy garden at the edge of a ruined village. Wading through crunchy leaves to visit the tucked away little traveler’s shrine to the Dawnflower that comes to be established in a sunny little clearing by a brook at the edge of the Narlmarches. As much as Balthazar has no strong love for travel or the natural world itself, the privacy is something he comes to appreciate, and the time with Tristian. And for Tristian it takes the edge off the faint, half-buried wanderlust that still dogs them in their exile, however voluntary it may have become. Maintaining a facade is something of a struggle (both practically and ethically), but it’s easier with Balthazar to carry the difficult parts- and worthwhile for the temporary freedom.

sawyer was sick over the weekend so we got some blood tests done and it turns out she is diabetic, she stayed at the vet a couple of nights, it was really strange to be alone in my room those nights. i spend more time with her than anybody. then we were supposed to pick her up thursday morning and they said to come in the evening instead because her glucose was v low. the vet asked me to find a glucose sensor to bring with me that evening, it was a public holiday so i had to find a pharmacy that was actually open. when we went to get her we waited 90 minutes and the sensor was being weird so they said come back later. finally brought her back home at 11pm and the sensor still wasn't working, had to go buy another sensor and bring her back this morning to switch them out, had to leave her there for a few hours so they could switch them and make sure the new one worked, then come back in the afternoon. i've had like no sleep at all this week, its a miracle i kept my eyes open to get training to give her insulin. she's so much better since she came home, even though she's not stabilised yet she very clearly feels heaps better ❤ it was such a relief to have her sleeping on my bed again last night. i was still up all night because i felt like i needed to keep an eye on her because i didn't have the monitor. we'll be in and out a lot over the next couple of weeks while they fine tune her dosage and monitor her levels.
