The thing about the older people vs younger people dynamic is that it’s an integral part of how the world works I think. Old wisdom and teenage rage are both necessary components of a healthy society.

Not listening to your elders is bad but not being allowed to talk back to your elders is also bad. There is this cycle of wondering why young people are so angry because when you live long enough you settle into the world a bit but there are things worth being angry about and you need reminding of that. Fresh eyes and seasoned minds aren’t inherently contradictory forces.

I don’t really want to be in conflict with people younger or older than I am. I’m stupid. We’re all stupid. We’re all currently blindly stuck at whatever age we are. When you’re willing to really listen to people that are different ages than you then things start to make more sense I think. It’s easy to just brush people off because you assume that they don’t understand you but it’s important to fight that impulse.

What I mean when I say "toxic monogamy culture"

  • the normalization of jealousy as an indicator of love
  • the idea that a sufficiently intense love is enough to overcome any practical incompatibilities
  • the idea that you should meet your partner’s every need, and if you don’t, you’re either inadequate or they’re too needy
  • the idea that a sufficiently intense love should cause you to cease to be attracted to anyone else
  • the idea that commitment is synonymous with exclusivity
  • the idea that marriage and children are the only valid teleological justifications for being committed to a relationship
  • the idea that your insecurities are always your partner’s responsibility to tip-toe around and never your responsibility to work on
  • the idea that your value to a partner is directly proportional to the amount of time and energy they spend on you, and it is in zero-sum competition with everything else they value in life
  • the idea that being of value to a partner should always make up a large chunk of how you value yourself

I feel like all cats would unironically self-identify as anarcho-capitalists, but still he sat next to me all night to watch the Tories get justly pulverised.

The main two popular narratives I see about trauma are either that it's a permanent affliction you're stuck with forever, or recovery narratives where you have a hard few years and are Healed.

What about the space where it is something you can work on, and it also changes you forever? Where grief can be a status quo without it being horrific or tragic, where intense painful experience is just part of the human condition and that's OK? Where we live with pain gracefully...

THIS IS NOT A COMPREHENSIVE LIST. I just wanted to highlight some beloved and underrated nostalgic classics.

I am NOT counting: Studio Ghibli, DC, Marvel, Scooby-Doo, sequels/prequels, and most other franchises. I made an exception with MLP and Care Bears because both films were produced at the beginning of their franchises, as opposed to the G.I. Joe series, Transformers, etc. There's a LOT to cover in the 80s-90s, hence why I split the two polls. This is basically Don Bluth's Era lol.

90's Poll

Happy voting! ❤

Characters co-owned w @_magic.stardust_ on IG 😌✨ (a couple more comics abt this on my account already)

I'm not a very positive person, i have a LOT of doomer tendencies. I feel everything like it's cranked up to the max, and as you can imagine it doesn't feel great. Every day throws more atrocious things in my face, and i can't ignore it 🥲

I see other people feeling the same way. We dissociate and numb ourselves by watching, playing, buying stuff. Hateful movements are gaining traction and climate change has its foot in the door

And it's all happening either way, to some degree. I feel like shit, and i'm sick of that. I might as well have a little bit of hope, otherwise i'll go bonkers 😭 Do we continue doomering our way through life or ignoring things altogether, or do we choose to hope a little?

That's why i'm looking into Solarpunk and am thinking of taking any readers (and myself) on a little journey through a better world, and how it might work, through a series of mini-comics I'm posting here. I don't have all the answers (no one person ever does), and i don't hold any pretenses that this kind of world is going to be our future. But i often hear "You love critiquing the status quo, but what do you propose instead?" I'd like to find out too. Here's to something we can hope for, no matter how slim the chances are! Because as I said, i might just lose my mind otherwise ☠️

P.S for new peeps: this is an AU with me and my friend's OCs, so all characters are genderless and go by they/them. It's not identical to our world in that regard, but other than this fact we try to keep it more or less realistic 🤙

I spent a thousand krillion hours on this and the other Solarpunk comics, consider throwing 2$ at me on Buy Me A Coffee to raise my spirits :] I'm not doing well mentally these days, but people's appreciation helps a lot. Thank you very much!
