#need to mull this one over

[foldingfittedsheets]

I liked your witch tower comic about Ava so much and saw your tags you’re also passionate about original fairytales. I was wondering if you’d ever consider a comic for my all time favorite “their shoes danced to pieces”

Your work is lovely

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed.

As to that story… probably not? I tend to take each tale with an added twist, but most of the ones I’ve done were sparked by a twist that someone else suggested that I thought would be funny or gave me an idea.

They Danced Their Shoes has a few marks against it. It’s extremely long in terms of plot points that would need to be conveyed. Comics take a Really Long time to make, even short stories can take weeks to draft, ink, shade, and finalize. This story would be massive compared to any of the others I’ve done.

Its’s also not terribly well known, and the ending isn’t very happy. The cursed princes are cursed for longer, the youngest sister gets ignored, and the soldier who didn’t really do anything of merit gets a free bride.

While it’s a nice story to read, the comics I make are focused on fluff. I want to make sweet art that is a balm to all the rough parts of life. Happy endings are guaranteed.

Having thoughts about the autistic difficulty with filters (that is, tending to blurt out an observation or thought without considering if it's going to make someone else feel defensive or crappy or insulted because that's not your intent) and the tension between a) needing to work twice as hard to monitor yourself because people will get upset and consider you an asshole for not filtering, even potentially people who know you're autistic, because "if you know this is an issue, you can and should take steps to not do it," and b) the amount of energy it takes to monitor yourself constantly like that, energy the people reacting that way don't have to expend to do the same thing, and the knowledge that all you have to do is slip up once to have all the effort you've put into masking be wasted because now you're The Asshole.

Not trying to armchair psychology you, just speaking from personal experience- it's really, really common to have autism, especially autism that is coupled with ADHD and OCD, be misdiagnosed as BPD for young people. This is most common with verbal autistic people who also suffer from abuse as a minor. The constant mental pressure often manifests as erratic thought and behavior, "strange" patterns of belief and groupings, and just a general feeling of feeling like you are Not The Same and don't know what's wrong but that Something is Wrong. Extreme stress for all of those problems can easily be exasperated into psychosis unfortunately, so a good approach involves being able to ground yourself with knowing how your mind is different, and that it is not broken. Whatever you find out, best of luck man.

thnx means a lot that u typed this out to me anon <3 i think ur def on the right track on what i could b dealing with but at the same time there has been a point where i was quite sure i must be autistic but felt i never had or experienced the same wide or specific and unique variety of stimming/stimulation issues like most autistics do and kindof let that thought slide a bit. because what sources i read had all listed those as being one of the important diagnostic criteria so that is what i understand.

having said that it could be my perception of how stimulation issues present themselves Personally has me feeling like i dont suffer them when i could still be affected in different ways that im not registering as possibly being That

reread the new 52 blue beetle over the weekend and it was not as bad as i remember! i think it does miss a few of the key themes and and also small details that i like from the 2006 series but it also does do a lot of interesting things with the reach and their history, i think it gets better as it goes along and there are a few speech bubbles in the later issues that showed a nice understanding of jaime’s character and the themes present in the 06 run that i was almost mad the rest didn’t feel as strongly like that

For all the teething I've been doing on Pavo and Esti i haven't been able to like, actually write any thing for them recently mostly because I've been Busy.

But also because I'm snapping between like 3 ideas for them at terminal velocity and haven't been able to actually get anything written for them and it's like having pumas bouncing around my skull at mach fuck as though theyre house cats at 2 am when you're trying to sleep,

Opinions and THOUGHTS

like in general or...

Ummm! I don't like crunchy foods that are like. Soft. You know like onions and stuff?? Hate those om a texture basis. Also mushrooms.. don't have too much a problem with the taste but it isn't quite worth the texture. That's not really an opinion more of a preference but I don't really have any ground breaking opinions I think so let's pretend ok

OH um!! Opinion I think 125% zoom shouldn't be the default zoom because that's literally huge which like I know it's different bur I'm special pleadingface the world has to revolve around me. Alsoalso I hate hate hate that TouchPad thing where sometimes if you touch it it'll stay touched except it's so weird!!! Unpredictable n such..

^^^ guy who just got new laptop voice anyway hi future us here this was written like 5 years ago ummmmmmm let's see here

ok you knwo right noow we're laying in bed actually so not many thoughts. Tomorrow is friyay I suppose...... This weeekend though !! Going to be out like all weekend to help some stupid middle schoolers (I LOVE tjem so much) (theyre so tiny.) (some of them are taller than me but we don't talk about that) except like i've been putting off coding this thhimh (TECHNICALLY NOT MY FAULT !!

Bite, Stalk, Pirate, Mermaid

14. PIRATE - Which of your OCs is most evil?

So this is a great question.

My joke response is probably Foggy. My serious response is one of five candidates: Vasyl, Nicolai, Glyris, Arin, Kaya.

The first three are very much evil in very real ways. They're all deeply abusive and manipulative people that you can definitely find in the real world, in your normal day to day life.

Arin is also someone you can find in real life, but someone you are unlikely to actually encounter. Your life will still be influenced by his presence due to his position of power, but it's very unlikely that you will actually ever meet him face to face.

Kaya is evil in the way that fantasy embodiments of evil are.

STALK - God I cannot pick just one. Uhh a few off the top of my head include Johnathan Stroud, Harlan Ellison, Diana Wynne Jones, Richard Adams, Michael Ende, Lemony Snicket, Cornelia Funke, I don't know if Shakespeare counts but I'm counting him fuck you, and a whooole bunch of others.

BITE - Now I KNOW Geo sent this one and I will not accept you saying you didn't >:p

Uh, in canon, it's probably either Nikita or Katarina. Succubus and Vila and all that giving a +5 in charisma and whatnot. As far as people going .///. in response to them? Probably Dandelion, people love the buff goth girl, and honestly, probably one of the signs that good taste isn't dead. My personal opinion though? Uhhhh, I'm going to saaay, probably also Dandelion.

Mermaid - What about both?? Why pit two bad bitches against each other?

Serious answer, it depends. I like sci fi more when the sci fi is thematic rather than cosmetic. If it is a story less about the appeal of lazer guns and space and moreso poses questions about the repercussions of advancement of technology and such, I'm more likely to be invested in it than a fantasy. Sorry I think dragons are cooler than spaceships. If you are just or are primarily aesthetics I want the fantasy instead. Also if you are a sci fi that is more concerned with Hard Scientific Explanations about things than actually telling a story I hate you.

But also. Yeah. Both.

Finally… LV 100 Merlin… I haven’t started grailing servants to 120 yet and it’s annoying and hard so I won’t start now or at all probably (would rather focus on servants who I want to get to 100 for now) but um, my support is looking good… Vitch… I don’t have gunpowder to level up her skills though :(.

Bit of an odd reading today. A clump of cards fell out while I was shuffling for my 3rd card and I decided to roll with it.

Meanings below the cut

Death dancing (rev): Numbness and apathy to pain, loss, grief. Can't hide from it forever. It will come and it will hurt. But then it will pass and you will dance again, for the joys of change and the memories of the lost.

The Knight of Wands: Passion, power, creativity, raw energy of the flame. When you're ready for it, it will give you the power to overtake the challenges ahead. If not ready for it, it is simply the desire to do so, yearning for more than you have...

Wound Man (rev): Pain without purpose. You're hurt; but there was no motive behind it. No reason for it. It simply is. Just focus on healing and don't worry about why it happened. Sometimes shit just hurts.

The Heirophant (rev) : The NightOwl : The Sun Sigil

Beak card: Hierophant - be careful what you swallow; you may be fed lies. Be critical and do not let others speak for you

Talon Card: Sun Sigil - Make your own happiness. Draw it out. Summon it. Carry it with you and hold it tight.
