I have a question if you guys are okay answering! How do your individual styles differ? Like, do you both prefer to write/draw in different styles, and have there ever been any creative disagreements?

Totally fine to ask! We both have the same style with different very subtle nuances most people won't be able to detect. I'd compare it to two different animation studios hired to work on the same tv show. We aim to look like one consistent style and we're pretty successful with getting that across I think!

The biggest difference between our art styles is something most people won't ever get to see, and it's that Cin sketches very lightly (to the point of having to duplicate the sketch layer multiple times before it becomes legible) and Jes sketches like you're trying to murder the paper with a pencil.

For writing, our voices are pretty similar honestly! I don't think anyone here has noticed whenever a comic is written by one twin or is a chimera-style mix of both of us collaborating. While we can disagree, we both want to make the best story possible so we either compromise or explain how taking a story a certain direction is for the best. And then we agree lol

not responding to this in the thread because its attached to a longer side chain that I don’t want to deal with but this is a goofy argument. If poll taxes and literacy tests were a legal form of racial discrimination then that means racial discrimination was legal. come on now

i dont fw d20 anymore but that quiz about which bad kid you are and the only question is "what is your opinion on motorcycles?" was one of the funniest things i ever did

as much as i may be like, really? sociology? i do think it’s funny to picture blue and gansey in the same classes arguing with each other while a chagrined professor tries to move on and weary classmates watch the back and forth like a tennis match

I think it says a lot about me as a person now that that the easiest way to make me cry as a child (and still now. I didn't think I'd tear up while writing this lmao) was to imply that the majesties and wonders of childhood and imagination are all a dream that inevitably leaves us as we get older that we can only regain in death and that the vivid inner worlds and personalities we give our toys in our early years either feel abandoned, vengeful, or die entirely as we age.

ok can i be real for a sec all people on this website do is get fixated on popular motifs and narratives and just take it to a point where it's soo corny... like obviously we all love the idea of love being this all consuming force that drives the universe etc etc but seeing people be like 'oh i would *never* go on a dating app bc i'm a poet and a romantic and dating apps are just dreadful unromantic flesh markets!! i need to meet my future so like a romcom scene or nothing!!! god forbid i meet them somewhere DESIGNED to meet people!!' ugghh idk let people have opinions and all but i'm so skeptic of this extreme mystification of love because people are literally just.... people.... whether you meet someone on tinder or you reach for the same book at your favourite indie bookshop that changes nothing about the concrete human aspects that you're going to face together as partners...romance can be evocative and mystic but ultimately it is just. people

absolutely LOVE when someone makes a post pointing out a shitty trend or habit common among an entire website or the internet as a whole and then someone in the notes decides to voluntarily out themself by getting defensive like they were called out by their full legal name. babygirl no one was talking about you specifically you didnt have to do that. no one asked you to do that

How Do We Relationship is like. At that perfect level of realism that produces the most ant like comments

Once again like hate to hand it to them but the anti civs have a point you can justify so much alienation by using all these measurable statistics of general wellbeing. How dare you criticize the market system when it has brought so many out of poverty....like, ok, but you're seeing how it's making us all crazy too like you surely also get that. Adam Ragusea the food guy put out a podcast recently where he talks about a take by a bioethicist against (the modern-day model of) dog ownership on the basis that feral dogs seem to be happier by many measures. And like I neither oppose nor endorse the take cause I haven't checked it out myself but it's interesting to think about what kinds of opinions an alien bioethicist might have about what a human's best life is if they couldn't talk to us and could only measure like, biomarkers for happiness stress et cetera. At some point don't you have to relent and say, maybe what matters in life cannot be measured. Anyway I am of the opinion that utilitarianism sucks because it is fundamentally a market-ethics

Bunny feels like the term queerbaiting doesn't work for celebrities as they aren't fictional characters so bunny created a new term:

Queer Mystification- A form of rainbow capitalism in which an individual (typically a famous figure) attempts to make their gender/sexuality a mystery, gaining a queer audience while not explicitly coming out. In many cases, these people did or currently have said things that are homophobic/transphobic.

Examples- Dream, Harry Styles, Taylor Swift

La Bonne Nouvelle

Dans son nouveau roman, Jean-Baptiste de Froment met en scène un couple d'aristocrates provinciaux, Paul et Hermine de Larmencour. Après la « résurrection » du premier cité, son ex-veuve va tenter de faire la lumière sur ce soi-disant miracle.

En deux mots Trois jours après son enterrement, la tombe de Paul de Larmencour est vide. La pierre tombale a été déplacée et le défunt a été vu errant dans la campagne. Cette “résurrection” laisse Hermine, sa veuve, incrédule. Avec les autorités, l’envoyé du pape et les habitants de ce coin du boulonnais, elle va tenter de percer ce mystère. Ma note ★★★★ (j’ai adoré) Ma chronique Paul, revenu…

Almanach Vermot 1951 - Anecdote véridique : Mystification

Le docteur Hill, piqué de ce que la Société royale de Médecine de Londres avait refusé de l’admettre au nombre de ses membres, imagina pour s’en venger, de la mystifier. Dans ce but, il adressa, sous un nom supposé de médecin, le récit d’une cure merveilleuse opérée au moyen de l’eau de goudron, remède autrefois fort en vogue. ” Un matelot, disait-il, venait de se casser la jambe. Me trouvant…
