I was feeling down so I drew my favourite scene from @jumalanpelko , because I binge read it the other day after months of trying to get to it and now I can't stop thinking about it.

I could go on all day but there's something about this story that is so beautiful and means so much to me even if it's heartbreaking because it doesn't romanticize the cult or treat it as some quirky edgy bit or sensationalize the horror elements. It feels insane to say that this story feels much more realistic than many other popular media revolving around cults because there was so much with the characters I could resonate with in a way that other media never has. I often avoid the topic in the media I consume because I'm bitter about the way cults are so often misunderstood and treated like a mere fictional trope, but then this short comic about cats absolutely nailed everything and I love it so much for that. This story brings me hope, not just for xenofiction comics but for proper representation of religious cult trauma, because this is what I want the world to have more of, and I truly hope this author never stops making art.
