there are many things I loved about The Marvels but I think that most important things are that a) Carol Danvers is canonically a cat person and b) VALCAROL EXISTS POSSIBLY MAYBE A LITTLE BIT

Terraria is proof that the rule of cool makes the best fantasy worlds.

Magic? Yeah

Guns? Yeah

Unicorns that you can ride into battle? Yeah

Space age weaponry and teleporters? Yeah

Literal actual hell? Yeah

Islands in the sky? Yeah

Furries? Yeah

Giant death worm with eyes all over its body? Yeah

Sky pirates? Yeah

Aliens? Yeah

Cars and other parts of modern infrastructure? Not a chance

No offense, but i saw this and had to do it too. It just needs. more. Confidence. (Also i'm infatuated with the motif if y'all don't mind)

I will not encourage the making fun of their stark contrast or whatever. They are a graph of society. They portray the far ends of the spectrum and it is so fascinating. They don't stand here out of coincidence, they stand because they're (i am) deeply in love over it

Also ryuga is grabbing L's ass and yk what? As he should.

help a cute girl at Starbucks started a conversation with me and she was nice and giggling (flirting???? Idk) and when I took my headphone out to talk to her she asked what I was listening to and I said “a horror musical soundtrack” because I felt weird saying the title to a stranger but when she asked me which one I said “Nerdy Prudes Must Die” and she went “oh!” And fully walked away from me before I could explain.

Anyway, stream Nerdy Prudes Must Die on YouTube.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

i don't really like when people say dungeon meshi is accidentally good autistic representation, because while i understand not wanting to make conclusions without explicit confirmation from the author, there's always the weird assumption that non-western authors somehow don't know about things like neurodivergency/queerness/etc. (on top of the assumptions that east asian authors are somehow more naive or oblivious to "western" social issues).

given that dungeon meshi started being published in 2014, it's not really a "work belonging to its times"—it's as contemporary as any other media we discuss on this site, which means it should be fair to assume it engages with contemporary topics (and at the very least, you shouldn't say that the representation is accidental with so much confidence)

but anyways, the chapter "perfect communication" in ryoko kui's "terrarium in a drawer" is some of the most straightforward autistic representation I've seen, and from now on I'm going to assume that laios's character writing is absolutely intentional in that regard:

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”
