It harms your lungs and it’s especially bad for children (and pets!) or anyone with health problems. There are all kinds of chemicals in that smoke. It’s not only trees that are burning. The heat already makes it harder to breath. This makes it worse.

If any of you are experiencing it, feel free to tell about it in the comments. 💚

It was never predetermined. It always just happened organically and felt like falling in love with love itself.

Those days were so formative for my comics making process because I'd just stay up late and frantically write/draw these character's stories. Looking back, I wasn't very good but it didn't even matter because I just completely gave myself over to the process without overthinking it. I NEEDED to see these romances become a reality! I was the only audience but I was voracious. (It also helped to have a GM who I could spam with art and know they'd be happy to see it...maybe with the exception of the 35,000 words of my horribly written vampire fanfic.)

I suppose the double edged sword is that when those young friendships inevitably fell apart, the pain was twofold. I lost someone I loved but I also lost a story and its characters which had become a part of me. I got a little more guarded after that and I guess it's no surprise that I don't really do TTRPG's anymore.

Still, I really love collaborative storytelling. The joy of role playing is in part the spontaneity and improv of it all. There's so much room for surprise! Which keeps it way more interesting than anything I'd ever think up alone. BG3 filled a similar niche for me with its endless permutations and variety of play styles. I've often felt in dialogue with the developers especially the writing behind Durge. And even when I've exhausted a lot of what the game has to offer, then there's this fandom space with all these inspiring storytellers coming up with the most niche AUs. It once again sparks that NEED in me to make these stories a reality. It's why I love making gift art and comics.

Though lately I feel overwhelmed by what I should be making and the jobs I should take as a freelancer trying to live. It doesn't help that I probably need to go back to retail again just to make ends meet...ugh, but I digress.

Now everything makes sense

Same goes for the people I saw just the other day whose discord server explicitly disallowed "Yaoi" but said that M/M content was allowed. What they meant was "M/M content is allowed as long as it isn't pornographic and fetishistic." What they actually said was "M/M content is allowed, but M/M content is strictly forbidden," and expected you to understand that the Japan-Adjacent term has porn/fetish connotations while the English-language term for THE SAME THING refers to the "normal, non-perverted" version.

I’m going to hold your hand when I say this…. The freaks have always been here. The freaks built fandom. The freaks built sites like AO3.
