People don't like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn't be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they're basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.

Like it's just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like "we're using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can" and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.

Actually, I realized my real point here: we all need to make our art weirder. Please make weird art. I want more stuff like Prequel Adventure and 17776 and MyHouse.wad and I want it now. Capitalism thrives on conformity. We must be weird at all costs.

the like. "prime directive" wrt to calling people eggs is such like. idk its pussy shit. if i jokingly say "lol you should become a girl about it" or some shit when you do or say something gay and girly and you take it to heart or whatever honestly that is a you problem. that's your fragility, not my irresponsibility or whatever. become a fucking girl about it if it upsets you so bad. the notion that trannies have some like, responsibility not to "convince people they might be trans" or something is categorically absurd - its a reversal of the burden of responsibility. maybe the world should stop trying so hard to convince people to be cis. cisness is not some natural a priori state of existence, it's just the path of least resistance for most people in a world that stigmatizes being trans. i have 0 responsibility to respect the fragility of gendered constructs built up in your head.

why is “report hate speech” not one of the default options with “report spam” instead of “report sexually explicit material”. i’m not a cop so i don’t care if people post hole & pole but i would love if i didn’t have to explain every time why it’s bad when there are nazis

Pride isn’t a “queer-friendly space”, pride IS queer space.

Kink doesn’t “belong” at pride, kink IS pride.

To say that these things are just-kind-of-also-included is such a diluted view of what these things actually are. These spaces have been mentally purified for so many people as things that are “also-okay-for-gays!”–

No!!

These spaces ARE OURS. Not just “friendly to us”. Not just “inclusive to us”. They ARE us. We don’t just “belong”… We’re the reason it exists in the first place!

The illusion of choice and all that

@staff this is truly a basis for me to never open tumblr desktop again so if that was you guy's aim congrats, you nailed it!!!! Now if you wanted to keep "what makes Tumblr unique" you have never failed better

*mike trapp voice* In the manga Chainsaw Man, humans can form contracts with devils in exchange for powers and favors. One such example being Asa Mitaka, a girl with a contract to the War devil, allowing her to transform anything into a weapon by mere touch.

Um actually the War Devil can only transform objects and people she believes she has ownership of. However, there is no objective way of deciding what she owns other than her own perception. Asa used this to her advantage when she was able to "buy" the endless aquarium by simply deluding herself into believing that she could buy it with a million yen, despite no seller being present and that probably not being enough money anyway.

That is correct! Demily gets the point!

have you seen the webcomic Girls With Horns by winonaparadise. I recommend it no reason

Avatar

Huh I wonder if "girls with horns" is supposed to be some kind of metaphor for another subset of girls with specific physical features

GIRLS WITH HORNS IS ABOUT TRANS GIRLS?? I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST FUNNY DEMON COMIC

There's a specific thing some artists do where they draw girls super detailed but guys are just like doodles. And that's how I perceive real life actually

Some men are just an empty silhouette that the artist wrote the word "man" on

that page of the transgirl romance comic where she kisses her hand and her hair while affirming her gender identity is so good I am not kidding it would be so wildly effective on me, I think I would entirely melt if this was done to me, just immediately become putty in their hands

this would either fix me or give you full access to make me worse. this shit unlocks creative mode
