Thank you! 'Tis the season. <33

*Point of fact, thanks for having multiple disabled characters and giving them names and traits other than "is disabled and isn't it sad when they die."

It has been a rough couple of weeks in the talking animal comics sphere. I Hope So has certainly been an oasis, and I am so glad it is back to updating.

"It's been a rough couple of weeks in the talking animals comic sphere." When is it NOT a rough time in the talking animals comics sphere? lol

Not saying there's not good animal comics out there but some really do a good job of being needlessly edgy and dark in exchange for any semblance of good writing.

There's nothing wrong with actually playing into it like you would if you were writing up a horror movie but I'm sure tired of this theme of people trying to clout chase and promote their story as progressive and then it's basically throwing in serious themes with no consideration on how to handle them.

It's just "hey, I covered this serious theme but I'm not going to cover it with any amount of seriousness whatsoever actually: gimmie kudos now!".

Don't even get me started on how there's a misconception that including "adult" themes automatically makes your story mature and sophisticated either. You have early Disney movies that did a great job of appealing to adults without having to include gore or sexual themes to appeal to adults, for example. lol And killing off a disabled character doesn't need to be automatically a bad choice narratively either. It all depends on the kind of narrative you want to deliver.

A woefully dark storyline isn't necessarily a bad thing. There are quite a few movies I enjoy (Fluke being a major example) that are relentlessly heartbreaking and sad. The problem comes from people - like I've just mentioned - thinking that just including minorities experiencing relentless tragedy automatically makes their story compelling escapism on its own when that's not how these things work. If you want to appeal to these minorities, don't use said minorities to simply make people outside of said minority groups feel sad for them before ultimately casting them aside once they've served their purpose.

You heard it here guys Fated Ties is officially going to TMNT Creature Con!!

Im so honored to be able to participate and show more people my AU, I hope I am able to make a fun and interesting experience for you all!!

Follow me here for updates on my Spotlight date and feel free to ask me any questions you might have!! I’d love to be able to draw a few answers before hand!! (My tumblr ask box is open so plz use that!!)

“oh that’s what today was I thought it was just Wednesday.”

“I can’t remember my days anymore.”

“So nobody remembered my day?”

“Pfft. No.”

“Dally— of course we did Randle. I even made you a red velvet cake but then again I remembered you love chocolate cake more so I ended up making you the red velvet cake instead.” 

“Gee thanks.”

“Oh cheer up, buddy we’re hoping that you have more birthdays ahead of ya!”

“Hey I remembered, Steve.”

“Thanks, Johnnycake…”

*Soda walks in with the cake that he and Darry made and it even had a touch of Sodapop on it with colorful frosting and sprinkles and sparkly candles* “I heard it’s my best friend’s special day today!”

*inspects the cake* “Wait, you said you made red velvet cake, this is chocolate.”

journaling (video, written, mixed) is often the easiest for alters to use when your awareness + integration is low/non-existent. if you are a system, you are likely going to have memory issues (all systems are diff). written journaling not only helps ground whoever is doing it but offers physical evidence something happened in your body you have 0 recollection of. it might take months before you find a note that makes you go “hey, i don’t remember doing [xyz]!” or “thats not an opinion i’ve ever felt?” or something along those lines.

also briefly on the topic of amnesia: yall need to learn memory loss isnt instant. research blackout & greyout amnesia cuz so many systems (including ourselves) go for years thinking the way their memory works is normal despite not being able to remember their childhood, trips between 2 destinations, major life events, an event from the past few hours, etc. unless you’re in the middle of trauma or a flashback, the memory loss is going to try to hide itself from you until you’re asking yourself “what did i eat for breakfast?” or “what outfit did i get dressed in today?”

idk how to cap this off lol i have more thoughts but ill cap this here for yall ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

Hey there,

Thanks so much for the question Melly. Esther's anal training has been going great, to the point that I can use her ass when I please. She always makes sure she is prepped and plugged for me so that makes things super easy and straightforward.

You're right I think Esther has given you all an update in quite a while and I think it would be useful for you all as she has learned and changed a lot. If there is anything you'd like to hear about specifically make sure you let me know and I'll make sure she writes a good blog post.

Thanks again for your question!
