#of some description

Why?

Because I'm actually working on some things for Plance/Kallura week! I want to put a lot of extra effort into it all, and I'm pretty slow at drawing... So to get enough done in time, I've gotta dedicate some time for it.

However I will be posting up some older stuff and any procrastination doodles/comics that I draw in the meantime. The procrastination stuff is very likely. This is why I need more time for these things asdfghjkl

“Is that really such a bad thing? Needing people isn’t a crime, Zach.”

“You made me need you,” Zach repeated, his words filled with venom and loathing. “And then you lied to me.”

In the corner of his eye Zach watched Lukas stumble back. Zach took the opportunity to blink back the tears and recover his steely expression.

“Zach-”

“When were you going to tell me?” He looked up at Lukas, the picture of innocence. “Axel may have given the order but you took advantage!”

“I didn’t-”

Zach laughed. Under different circumstances he would have sounded crazy even to himself. “You honestly expect me to believe you didn’t know? A boy shows up at your door, bleeding and broken by another man’s hands and you think he’s just going to throw himself at the next available body?”

“No, Zach, please listen to me.” Lukas inched forward. Zach didn’t know whether out of stupidity or desperation, maybe both. Regardless, his magic ignited in the palm of his hand and Lyra formed between them baring her teeth at Lukas.

Like… is there ever going to be a time that both my orientations aren’t constantly misdefined and misrepresented?

Also the “bi means two” shit is one of the many offshoots of bi discourse of yore. Completely connected to the whole “bi is transphobic/binarist” nonsense.

Oh yeah, I definitely think Nathan’s been written with that in mind, or at least he was (but the writers became lazy / changed, so nothing about the characters was ever all that consistent after season 1). And I definitely wrote Science of Fear with that in mind for Nathan. That he has to stay essentially himself, and not have his personality ‘fixed’ the way other people might want it to be.

Also like you, I think it would be awesome to see Nathan introduced to a way of working that suits him. Actually, tbh, one of the reasons I sort of streamlined him into cooking in the story, is because a surprising amount of people who make their ADD/ADHD work for them actually end up cheffing or in the food industry basically. It’s something you can trace while reading about chefs / their lives (...okay I do this as a side hobby) and what they were like as kids (a lot drop out of school, a lot had a reputation for being trouble makers or never concentrating, a lot have excessive energy or poor execution management etc.) and while it’s certainly not a requirement and it doesn’t work for everyone, I think... it suited Nathan as something he could pursue in the future.

Tbh I have friends with adult attention disorders and one basically flunked his way through university, hated the job he got afterwards, was fired, and ended up learning how to be a kitchenhand/cook through our version of community college. The upshot is he fucking loved it (esp. being able to make something different all the time) and now that’s what he does for a living and he’s way way happier.
