SICKENINGLY funny video my phone auto-generated from my curated folder EUGH!!!! which contains ugly photos i have taken of my animals and other people's animals. really into the horrible fucking music as well

[elfhunk]

it's horribly annoying but i do appreciate the transparency of youtube just politely telling you when they have 100% stopped trying to show a video to anyone. it's so funny. you have two days, idiot.

It's pride month, which means you're legally obligated to read my queer trans graphic novel about a boy who gains the ability to manifest his dreams in real life, including the high school crush who got away, STRANGE BEDFELLOWS!

Bedfellows has been praised for its art, humour, portrayal of mental illness, and of casual queerness in a semi-utopic socialist future. I am told it has made at least 10 people cry.

i don't know if i? enjoy? peak?

but it does have the penchant for creating some of the most spectacularly funny physical comedy i've ever seen in anything, let alone just a video game.

i will say having a late in life autism diagnosis arc means you occasionally stop yourself in the middle of a multiple paragraph explanation of booming sea urchin populations and go.

wow.

wow no one noticed before.

anyway back to sea urchins.

i literally forgot that the neopets plot where everyone is getting depressed is still technically going on

Followed you originally like. 10 years ago, somewhere along the way while loving your artstyle infected me with loving Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (I think it was you?), which honestly is still one of my fave shows, then thought I forever track of you(r art) and here we are. Listening to your awesome music. Hope you have been doing fine these past few years. Cool to see you still trucking on.

oh... this made me so emotional to read...

i'm not sure if "fine" would be the word is the word i would use. i have been trying my best to always be honest about this stuff. but bringing up crazy ex-girlfriend is unfortunately the perfect segue. it is literally the show that made me say... wait? what? this isn't normal? i thought everyone felt this way constantly? patrick? hello?

because guess who also had a career implosion and moved across the country (well, like, halfway down vertically) to restart his life and figure out why he's insane? this guy!

ironically enough, although the therapists and psychiatrists i've worked with have narrowed down to treating me for CPTSD & ADHD while also giving me tools to navigate the world as a probably autistic person... well! my therapist and i have discussed extensively that if we hadn't dug around more carefully it's likely i would've been diagnosed with some rebecca bunch BPD instead! especially if i was a woman! did you know the the gender ratio of clinical BPD diagnosis and treatment is 3:1 women to men?

the gendering of the diagnosis and how it relates to high masking autism and how those behaviors intersect with trauma coping behaviors is highly contentious! it's a whole thing. fascinating research rabbithole to fall into.

long way of saying that the past few years of my life have literally been the back end of crazy ex-girlfriend. down to starting to write down all the music that's in my head all of the time. the glitter exploding inside me still hurts sometimes but i know where it's coming from and what makes me feel safe again when i feel abandoned or vulnerable.

anyway. long story short. i hope life has also been as good as it can be for you. ultimately it's still the only one we've got.

and here's that crazy ex-girlfriend fanart for the road, from the archives.

wah... i'm trying really hard to care less about metrics but physics of attraction is actually kind of performing...

kpop demon hunters was so bizarre like by the end of the movie they're just like yeah girl demons are just people consumed by shame which means you're literally allowed to kill all of them #slay

[elfhunk]

it's the simple physics of attraction it's an equal and opposite reaction and i'm sure i can handle all our wasted potential so let's hypothesize

i think the missing context of sharon is that i like literally replayed all of vindictus as her it was kind of awesome.

[elfhunk]

a levitating sphere loaded with runes
