I have so mant Effie comics rattling around in my brainspace. Comic where she swallows a squeaker. Comic about her taking control of her life and gender presentation from her shitty "mom". Comic about her aroace approach to preforming romance and how that's how she meets her futur queer platonic partner. Her and her qpp dicussing the town founder's (Frank, qpp's grandpa) friendship with Effie's "mom" and how that affects their relationship in the present. Effie meeting her older 45+ yr old self and talking about how they change and how their outlook on life and their goals and pursuits change in ways younger Effie never thought would happen. Comic about Effie babysitting. Etc. I am obsessed with this scarecrow woman

#i am projecting so much of my relationship with romance despite being aroace on effie like. she isnt romantically attracted to anyone ever #but she enjoys the preformance of romance (as long as all parties are absolutley clear that it is nothing more than that)#to the point where she has casual dates with people that she activley advertises for. and that romance is very superficial for her while #other relationships are so much deeper esp cuz she rarelt actually lets ppl into her life #and despite her qpp being allo and having a huge crush on effie at first not only are their boundaries are super combatable #like neither likes kisses esp not on the lips #that it just works and the romantic attraction her qpp has for effie dissapates as they get to know each other #and becomes a lot stronger as it becomes platonic. its very important to me i never see #stories where romantic feelings dissipating are treated as a really good thing esp qhen theyre replaced by something so much deeper and #sustainable. SORRY IM RAMBLING ITS JUST ALL SO IMPRTANT 2 ME #also im. so mearly there on Ray Porters design i got a basic idea #but i still wanna use an old oc for them so im still earching who to redesign #and i got a bunch of other Hatch townsfolk designed im *shakes u and projects my oc excitment onto u*
