when we were studying the bible in literature class (so we have the context necessary for later works that reference the bible), i think we were at the book of jonah, and one of my classmates was studying the text very intently, and then looked up and earnestly said "professor, i don't understand the will of god"

the teacher was just like. well sadly i am a literature teacher and not a priest so i can't help you there. but if it helps, many people throughout history had the same problem.

I feel like people forget most trans guys still had to grow up as girls.

We were still forced to be mature early

We were still told to not to take up space

We were still subject to female beauty standards

Our bodies were still treated as inappropriate

We were still pitted against each other

We were still excluded from “male” activities

We were still treated as lesser the boys

Those things don’t evaporate once we transition they’re fucking internalized. I constantly have to remind myself I’m allowed to exist. We don’t stop dealing with misogyny.

Janus Week Day 4 - Name Reveal

For @darksideweeks Janus' week! I've had the draft thumbnails for this comic sitting pretty for three years and today's prompt was PERFECT for me to blow off the dust and actually draw it!

(I have many ideas of how Janus shared his name with Remus but this is by far the funniest.)

Image ID below the cut.

[ID: A four page digital Sanders Sides comic with the brainlicking.tumblr signature at the bottom of each page.

Page 1: [A small yellow panel at the top of the page with a speech bubble]

Janus: I... ...I would like to tell you...

[Whole page panel with Janus at the forefront, his back to the viewer and his arms crossed behind his back, he is facing Remus. Remus is sitting on a purple couch, concentrating on reaching a book.]

[Bottom left panel. Remus looks up in surprise.] [Bottom right panel. Remus is looking intently at Janus with both hands pressed together in front of his mouth, there is a green text box with an arrow pointing to Remus that says, "Not saying a word because he genuinely wants to know."]

Page 2: [The panels of this page are bordered with yellow with faded text that reads, "HE'S GOING TO LAUGH" over and over.]

[Top panel. Profile shot of Janus' torso, going from neck to waist, he is facing to the viewers left. His arms are out in front of him and is taking off his right glove.]

[Middle panel. Closer shot of his right hand, it is now ungloved.]

Janus: My name...

[Bottom panel. Closeup shot of the lower half of Janus' face, teeth bared and his hand close to his mouth.]

Page 3: [Whole page panel of a bust shot of Janus, he is grinning widely, his expression cheeky and is pressing the length of his pointer finger against the space between his upper lip and nose. There is a mustache drawn on the finger.]

Janus: Is REMUS!

[Bottom panel. Janus and Remus stare at each other in silence.]

Page 4: [Top panel. Janus and Remus burst into laughter, there is yellow and green "HA HA"'s written around them, with green text of Remus saying, "You silly bitch!" to Janus.]

[Whole page panel. The laughter from the top panel trickles down the middle of the page. Janus is now sitting with Remus on the couch, he peeks one eye open at him, still smiling.]

Janus: It's actually Janus.

Remus: Aw, we match!

Janus: Heh, yes we do.

(The Sides get into trouble and have to be taken into the Mind Palace Police Department)

Officer: Alright, one at a time. Step on the x and hold up your plaques

Virgil: (quaking in his boot; the verge of a panic attack)

Patton: (looks at plaque) What’s this for?…(looks at camera) Oh, is this one of them selfie-things? Fun!

Logan: (about to lose his marbles) I hate being associated with you people

Roman: Make sure to get my good side!

Janus: (looks at plaque and raises his brow) Well this certainly is a first…

Officer: (looks to next person; sighs)…evening Remus, long time no see…

Remus: Hey bubba~, I’m glad to see your face again. (Sigh) It feels likes it’s only been yesterday since I was here (chuckled menacingly)

Janus: Because you were here yesterday

My thoughts on what I think would go on Virgil, Remus, And Janus' cake (click for quality):

If they actually end up getting a video and any of these are in there I shall jump for joy.

[hes-as-stubborn-as-ever]

I am entirely convinced that Virgil's puzzle gifts are the only thing keeping Logan sane

i've seen some people say that they don't like helen because her specific brand of spiral is too evil and i just wanna say. i love that side of helen so much. i love that she's a lying liar who lies in a condescending and manipulative way. i love that she's a genuine villain, but only ever has friendly conversations with jon and martin.

michael's brand of spiral was very overt. all about confusion and madness and fractals and shapes.

helen is a lot more subtle. a lot more "you know it's fake, but you have to play along" or "you don't know what's going on, but you feel lied to" that girl is playing MIND GAMES she's playing 4d chess with jmart's emotions and i love her for that.
