#this one was my friend's fault

[expatesque]

Ladies I'm so hungover I went to the bubble tea place bc it was the only place by the bus stop and the woman there saw my suffering and gave me my drink in a large cup so I could have extra ice. Women.

if this comic resonated with you, please consider donating to this palestinian escape fund (vetted by @/nabulsi and @/el-shab-hussein) as it is less than $7,000 away from it's goal.

i turn 24 today. To celebrate, I made this comic to be a spiritual successor to lead balloon, a comic in which I talked about the darkest period of my life so far.

A lot has changed since my 23rd birthday and this one. My priorities have shifted a lot, in ways that I think are mostly good. But i think the best part about today is that suicide has gone back to being a far away notion. I'm really lucky, and I'm grateful for that.

Imagine if, “and you betrayed me” is the last time Optimus allows Megatron to see his full face. It’s the last personal moment between them. The last hope that maybe Megatron will see a friend, but that can’t ever happen. Optimus was born out of D-16’s betrayal. This is Orion’s goodbye.

“The only girl I’ve ever loved is Soda in drag”

“So stick him in a dress and he’s the only boy I’d shag- the only boy I’d anything is Soda in drag.” -Steve Randle, probably

Y’all NEED to listen to Andrew in Drag by the Magnetic Fields I’ve been obsessed with it all year. It’s also such a Stevepop song lol- it’s about a straight dude falling for his buddy in drag

(alternatively, this could also be in the transfem Soda au, as the experimentation phase before ultimately transitioning, but I’ll leave that up to y’all lol)

so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.

hc that steve actually likes metal and listens to it regularly, just always pretty quietly. so when eddie, who never has his stereo turned down to anything below 40 and even that's too quiet sometimes, gets in steve's car one day to hear metallica playing through the speakers with the volume only set to like 7, he's immediately torn between being ecstatic that steve is listening to one of his favorite bands and outrage that he's not giving it the proper listening experience it deserves

I think if you're in a relationship that's anything less than ROCK FUCKING SOLID you should consider not messing with too many of your partners interests. You'll think ohh nooo I'm being a good partner engaging in the stuff they loveee we can bond over ittttt No. you don't want all your hobbies and shows and books covered in their stank.

I think the most beautiful thing about writing of Howl and Sophie's pair is that they are written as people before being written as a pair. Let me explain this very quick.

The thing about book Sophie and Howl is that they are not really fully fitting into any "classic" romantic trope. They are not exactly enemies to lovers, as their angry chats are definitely cannot be considered a life or death battle, they are not rivals to lovers because the only aspect of rivalry between them is the cleaningness of Howl's room. They are not friends to lovers, as their relationship just doesn't fit into "friendship" structure at the very start, nor they are roomates (yes, they live in the same house but that's not the core aspect of their relationships). Of course, you can go on and fit the name of the trope you found specifically for them, but that's the thing.

They simply cannot be processed through a pairings lenses only, in order to understand how they act in relationship you need to analyse them separately, as a characters first of all. Cause that's what the book itself does!

Sure, it doesn't have a whole lot of romance instead, but it gives us time to learn and observe the life of incredibly written, alive characters, understand them as personalities first of all, while slowly immersing the dynamic between two characters (in this case, Howl and Sophie) into work. They are written as personalities, both being fully separated and interviewing, changing eachother's point of view.

It's difficult to find a trope for them. They're are not a trope. They are Howl and Sophie, and that's probably the only way their dynamic can be properly described. Just as real people, they are not really fitting into the boxes of linial character progression, but go way deeper into being complex, filled with little differences and moments only people with their personality can have in romantic (or any different) kind of interaction. They're imperfect, and silly, and multidimensional and the reader knows them well enough to imagine them interacting way beyond of what the book says to them.

They are being people before being a ship, a pair of a trope — and that's why they work so perfectly charming in the end.

Howl and Sophie are unique in being themselves.

while I'm fully convinced that autistic Steve headcanon is based on canon interactions it does change how I view certain parts of canon into completely different from what the Duffers intended for example: his crush on Robin. I fully respect that Steve had a real crush on Robin. However. I feel like we are Informed of this crush through Dustin more than we ever actually see it and I could nor count the amount of times my friends assigned me a crush on one hand. Sometimes we are just told we have a crush and our answer is, "that doesnt sound right but I don't know enough about emotions to dispute it."
