y'all have gotta learn to act normal about other people's characters
just bc you think they're hot doesn't mean the person who made them wants to know if, or how, you'd fuck them. i feel like that's common sense. it doesn't make it OK now just because it's not a real person you're sexualizing. you don't know what they mean to the person who made them, and if you do, well what the fuck, then.

it honestly frustrates me when i see people reduce the ericsons cast down to "just some teens in the woods" acting like theyre no different than any other group of lone teenagers from other existing properties and treating them like an overused trope
it is sooo important to acknowledge the "troubled youth" aspect of the whole equation. theyre not just some random teens in the woods clem stumbles across. these kids were abandoned by their families for their various "difficulties" and fucked up by The System before the outbreak even began. and then once zombies started roaming the streets their familes never came back for them and the adults that were in charge of taking care of them just left them there to rot in that old boarding school (except for ms martin who was like their lee 🥺 the only person who ever saw them as the scared traumatized kids they were and died protecting them)
the whole aspect of them already being fucked up by the adults that controlled their lives is like.....kind of important when discussing the whole "delta is stealing kids to force them to fight in a war they have no real part in and want nothing to do with" aspect of the season. and its important when comparing them to clem and her journey of also suffering at the hands of the adults around her forcing her to become self reliant. AND its important when discussing the "just trying to build a safe home (and future) worth fighting for in this world that wants them dead" aspect of the season as well
these kids were forced to come together to survive. and a Lot of them didnt... theyre the only family they have left and you can tell that even when they argue with each other theyre still a close knit group who looks out for each other. theyre a Real family before clem even gets there (and its why what really happened with the twins and brody and marlon hits them all so especially hard)
all of this is what REALLY makes ericsons such a perfect home for clem. its a Real community of her True peers. theyre not Just teens. they mightve had a layer of safety clem never had by at least having walls to keep them safe. and having the benefit of the school being hard to find. its the only reason theyre still alive when clem shows up. but theyre also some of the only people who can Truly understand where clem and aj are coming from. and its why it hurts so much when they vote to kick them out. but its also partially why she merges back into the fold so easily when she returns. plus the fact that shes Really the only one who has any idea what shes doing. shes their rock and she makes them feel safe because underneath it all theyre still just those scared traumatized kids ("EVERYONE is scared, clem..." vi was Definitely including herself in that 'everyone'), and on some level, so is clem
they saved clementines life. and she saved theirs. "the school was supposed to help them with their trauma, now they help each other" its about the LOVE the COMMUNITY the SUPPORT!!!! and thats the shit that makes good zombie media honestly 👌

as someone who used to blush a lot when she was a kid (and to be honest, when I get praised I still do), I wonder how I would fare if I was a kid in this era and people mistook my blushing for crushing on the person in front of me. Whomever they are.

woah hi. HOWDY! I didn't realize it had been so long I have so much to say
1. your comic about IK meeting god is not only hilarious but also the colors on the background and how they change with God's dialogue is insanely good and itched my brain perfectly so thanks for that, maybe save some talent for the rest of us tho 🙄 and the dot effect is also perfect your color mushing is great
2. The dragon AU requests..... ..URGH I JUST. I JUST LOVE DRAGONGS. They are written SO nicely and I love the powers and builds that you chose for the brothers I can very clearly envision them in my mind while reading and it makes me so happy. SO happy. I love how sulky Belphie gets, hiding under his fluff and loafing like a cat this is grade-A writing right here it doesn't get any better than this
3. Completely unrelated to the other two, but I had a vision that IK was acting like that homophobic dog. Likely stemming from your coming about her knowing Lucifers "secret" but not making clear what that secret is hence the She Knows What You Are thing
But I pictured her going around with that same wide-eyed passive look and that SLIGHT disgusted curl of her lip and just making everybody question whether she's being for real with how good she does the face. all that to say that dog would be IK's twin if he was some shades darker to match her hair. thank you for your time
hi sam!!!!! okay re: 1. thank you!! i was going slightly crazy over many layers and many blend modes trying to get it to look the way it was in my head, thank goodness it payed off
re: 2. i'm very glad! it's built up to include bunch more stuff but i really do love the dragon au (and writing it) to bits, the main thing stopping me from turning it into a fic atp is time
re: 3. that's so funny and wait hold on. i've just looked it up and not only does the homophobic dog have a wikipedia page, i've just learnt that her name is WHITNEY CHEWSTON which is absolutely fantastic (the inclusion of "not to be confused with whitney houston" at the top of her page is hysterical)
this is the face lucifer sees for weeks after that conversation

It's fun that the two sporting (?) events that I am most interested in are marble league and robot combat events. I prefer there to be no humans in my sports I guess.
