Firebugs

By Nino Bulling

What a comic!

As someone who read a crap ton of comics as a teen, it was awesome to read one with such a cool style. The character designs complimented the round curvy designs? Not sure how to describe it but I loved it!

Also, did not expect a they/them-er to pop up. As someone who uses ze/zir, it always is like a happy clap on the shoulder whenever it comes up and you weren’t actively looking for it.

Ingken (they/them) is 30, going through some gender troubles. Figuring out whether a new name is a thing while also having a girlfriend who seems to have the hots for someone else.

I love how Lily is simultaneously the supportive trans elder (while still being young herself) trying to give advise but it just not geling XD.

I think Lily is binary and if that’s the case, that adds to the silly vibes of giving an androgynous person advise for that sort of thing.

Transitioning when there is no clear “gender” your going to. There isn’t a “passing.” Hell, we don’t even got bathrooms depending how far you’re from a big city (where I live).

For me, I early transitioned I was all about that masc-4-masc sort of look to now more leather jacket, plaid skirt in between with a silky mustache I’m working on growing out. Pronouns shifted.

Anywho, it was cool seeing the party scene as someone who spends their days indoors. The way that Bulling drew the world as viewed through drugs was fun. Very trippy.

I also liked how the scene between Lily and Ingken were also contrasted to them hanging with their own friend groups.

There’s wasn’t really any catering to straight or cis people. They only come up a for a couple misgenderings but it’s brief.

It’s nice just having them not being the focus. It’s amazing how fast you can slip into the world and just embrace it, you know?

PS. I don’t tend to read the description too closely for books before I check them out. I hate spoilers. So I didn’t realize it was a comic, lol.

I've seen a couple people saying they're jumping ship for [other big socmed] after the AI announcement here, but like. Guys. Friends. You do realize all the other sites have been silently working with big AI companies for a while now. Bluesky has not implemented any acknowledgement or protection, and the CEO worked with crypto for years. They're just not broadcasting it or giving you an option to help remove your work from automatic scraping. Cohost has implemented similar levels of prevention compared to Tumblr.

I greatly prefer the transparency and the tiny bit of protection, no matter how flimsy. Tumblr is pretty awful, but it's still better than everything else so far. Which sucks but until we burn down the plutocracy, this isn't gonna be escapable.

(Also, no Tumblr did not quietly sneak this in. They literally announced it before implementing.)

And my thoughts on the CEO being... himself.

those newer fans can't possibly understand, having years of super dramatic and depressing depictions of stanley pines' fake death, only for us to get a silly straw dummy and the worst acting stan has done in his entire life

(altho i suppose months of everyone hc-ing that ford wore a turtleneck 24/7 because he's ashamed of his scars, only for us to get all-star tattoo-ed comes pretty close)

also an au where gf cops were slightly more competent and stan ends up being the prime suspect in his own murder because a man mysteriously dies after meeting his estranged twin who suddenly is inviting people to his murder hut....

Ok so what I keep thinking is HOW Kai is gonna be mentally a monster in monstosity. Because it’s implying that he’s gonna do smth immoral right? Something bad something terrible something shameful.

From what we seen he’s been fighting monsters for survival right? What’s so wrong about that? So here’s my theories/ideas

- he realizes the monsters have families too or smth. Maybe he KILLS the children of some monster?

-encounters a human that needs saving and doesn’t save them

- fights with another human over resources because he’s desperate?

Generally he’s loosing his mind, losing himself- but the idea of a MONSTER? Yeah that’s why I’m thinking of BAD things that he could be doing there.

I also remember someone mentioning THIS svreeebvap down here- and how the mosnywes seems to be attacking this castle/kingdom with possobly PEOPLE inside that Kai is not saving or doing anything to stop which would also contribute to this list of bad things. Also related to my second point.
