Tumblr as a website is pretty dominated by the werewolf and vampire lovers, but my favorite type of horror creature has always been ghosts. I think ghosts are excellent at delivering both horror and sensuality, and everything i feel like a good author is capable of doing in both of those spaces is at peak form in aono-kun

this is a horror romance series following an introverted girl named yuri, who begins going out with aono-kun, the first boy whose ever really been nice to her, only for him to abruptly die two weeks later after being hit by a car. This drives yuri to attempt suicide, only for her to be stopped by aono's ghost.

The two continue their relationship postmortem, but as things progress a sinister and inhuman alter ego begins to take control of aono-kun at times, with neither he nor yuri able to understand why or how to stop it. eventually, aono's still living best friend and a girl from their class who is an agoraphobic horror buff join the young couple in attempting to untangle the nature of aono's haunting.

i am in this moment, sincerely and with no caveats, recommending you a heterosexual romance, which i assume is probably more than enough in its own right to pique the interest of a lot of my followers. but to sweeten the pot with a little more specificity i think the place this manga really shines is in its incredibly compelling portrayal of an adolescent sexuality bogged down by depression and familial abuse.

Apparently the final epilogue chapter of this manga literally came out the day i made this post despite me having no prior knowledge of that. spooky... so if you're the kind of person put off by starting something in progress, worry not!

hbomberguy and co are over on bluesky pedojacketing patricia taxxon because she called him out for underpaying her as a freelancer for several years (including when she was a fucking teenager)

The posts about being underpaid came after Hbomb made his post, and after the dogpile was well underway. I think it deserves to be republished here, because it really is a dreadful instance of an artist being undercompensated:

Hbomb's post would be indefensible either way, but I think laying out the order of events illuminates things even further. Patricia Taxxon would be well within her right to call out being underpaid at any time, but as it stands she brought it up after Hbomberguy and his producer* contributed to the harrassment campaign against her. I would bet money that this is why Lily Alexandre deleted her post - because it validates Patricia's claim of underpayment that she posted in response to Hbomb pedojacketing her.

What we have here is a woman being piled on for the crime of venting that a man - who she did not even name - treated her poorly. "Lefttube" my ass.

[Also, while Patricia's account is currently deactivated, it is archived thoroughly on the Wayback Machine. I've seen people asking "posts, are deleted, what happened" and I'd direct them to Patricia's words on the matter.]
