My sister took more photos of my dress. I am very happy with how this turned out :)))))

My very first interview for OJST is up today and we're celebrating my good pal Gina Biggs of Filthy Figments!

I've posted some of my Filthy Figments comics here for $10 members before, and it's just such a lovely site to be a part of.

This coincides with the very first Filthy Figments member pledge drive to help keep the site alive, so consider checking out the site if you haven't before~

[ID: “Interview with Gina Biggs of Filthy Figments” a comic by Jey Pawlik is done in cool textured colours with mint greens and light pinks. Jey is a nonbinary person with a chubby build with short cropped hair with some greys, they sport big thick square glasses and casual comfy clothes. Gina Biggs is a cis woman with medium length and light-coloured hair, she sports catseye glasses with a strawberry necklace, a black t-shirt tucked into a cute floral long skirt.  

Jey is furiously drawing cute sexy character ideas on some paper while saying “Inspiration has STRUCK! What a super sexy story I’ve got on my hands! I’ll add some of this, a little of that—”  

Jey pauses. “—Hm. Where will it live though? The internet is just rife with censorship right now, there’s not many places I COULD post it… WAIT!”  

They run off, pieces of paper in their hand and flying and falling behind them as they run into a pink area instead of their usual mint green while saying “I know JUST who to talk to about this!”  

Jey enters a room and gestures happily to their friend Gina Biggs, who sits at a computer desk with a tablet she’s working on with two ladies smooching and the Filthy Figments website on the larger monitor. Jey introduces her “My good pal and fellow sexy comics enthusiast Gina Biggs and her site Filthy Figments!”  

Gina smiles and responds “Hey Jey~”

Seemingly milquetoast sponsorship announcement actually hides something much more sinister when taken into context....

freewill also has healthcare directives! if you have ever been concerned about your partner(s) being unable to visit you in the hospital or make medical decisions for you if you are unable to make or communicate your own wishes - especially if you are unmarried/poly - you should have a healthcare directive. they are extremely easy to put together and you can designate multiple people as agents; freewill's tool also lets you designate people you do NOT want making decisions for you (for instance, your very Catholic parents.) if you're outside the US you can search "advanced healthcare directive (country)" and usually find a toolkit; often end of life advocacy-type organizations will have them.

GET YELLED AT

She spends forty-odd years fat and single and obsessed with dragons and loving it and letting nobody give her any shits

And then she meets a dashing-if-drunken forty-something watchman and they think they’re too old for love but they are so, so, so wrong and their relationship starts with mutual respect and trust and grows into an incredible amount of love and affection

“Among the other unwanted baggage that had been heaped on the young Sybil to hamper her progress through life was the injunction to be pleasant to people and say helpful things. People took this to mean that she didn’t think.”

and

“She was large and she was kind. She hadn’t enjoyed school much. A society of girls is not a good one in which to be large and kind, because people are inclined to interpret that as ‘stupid’ and, worse, ‘deaf’.”

Within pages of this she is bending iron bars over werewolves’ heads. I really wish she’d been able to have a go at Serafine, though, after the way the woman was talking about her at the beginning of the book, as if being friendly, even with people you don’t like, is some kind of weakness.

The Fifth Elephant is where Sybil really starts to flourish as a character, IMO. And the thing is, she’s far from stupid. She really pays attention to people in a manner possibly only surpassed by Carrot, which is how she memorizes whole dwarfish arias to deploy for maximum emotional impact and extensive notes on fat mining to haggle with the Low King. She notices people, and keeps up with them, and because of that she is able to mobilize the entire of the Sto Plains to watch a Goblin performance at a moment’s notice, changing the fate of an entire race.
