Today's the last day of April, and to belatedly celebrate my birthday I'd like to share a comic with you: it's about getting revenge against the people who wronged you, and it's called Werewolf's Lament.

Werewolf's Lament is printed with florescent orange and mint risograph inks on light brown paper; cut and folded in the shape of a wolf. Physical copies are for sale in my online shop.

🧟‍♂️ for the ask game!

It's me. Even when I mask, I've been told a couple times that I come off as too intimidating but especially if I'm not masking or if I'm triggered in a certain way. Assuming I'm not triggered, I see it more as assertiveness than aggression, but if I don't tone it down a lot, it can be jarring for people who are used to a different vibe.

I'm definitely not viewed that way within my system. None of my systemmates are scared of me anymore. They know I'm not going to do anything that would harm us. For a while now, I've also been functioning as a caretaker for our body and for anyone in my system who needs emotional support. So I think most of them see me as a source of safety, not fear. Took time to get there though.

You can survive this. Outlast your enemies and thrive. (Plan for a two part linocut. I think I'm just going to have to suck it up and buy some new lino; I have rubber blocks and a couple small pieces of lino but it seems I just can't do without detail.)

YouTube ads: (30 seconds of irrelevant wackiness) Oh hohohoho the creature wants the Food!

Facebook ads: (fabricated sponsored "news" article) Here is why, everyone is buying the new thing. Trust us everyone is buying it

TikTok ads: (paid actor) I just bought this thing and it totally changed my life! Join me on my Journey, with Product...

Tumblr ads: (ai generated image of heaven) The Truth About Your Elbows

genuinely wild to me when I go to someone's house and we watch TV or listen to music or something and there are ads. I haven't seen an ad in my home since 2005. what do you mean you haven't set up multiple layers of digital infrastructure to banish corporate messaging to oblivion before it manifests? listen, this is important. this is the 21st century version of carving sigils on the wall to deny entry to demons or wearing bells to ward off the Unseelie. come on give me your router admin password and I'll show you how to cast a protective spell of Get Thee Tae Fuck, Capital

“Why did this post comfort me?” Because it’s comforting. Next.

“Why did I laugh at this?” It was funny. Next.

“Why is that so ominous?” The Blood Keeper seeks us all. Next.

Hey, it’s not your fault. You were just a kid. You may still BE a kid. But I know a few things for certain:

You didn’t ask to be born into this world.

You didn’t ask to be treated the way that you were treated—whether it was by bullies, parents, or other family members.

You didn’t ask to “be a burden” to your caregivers, you deserved that space to be loved and safe

You didn’t ask for your consent to be broken.

You didn’t ask for the shame and guilt someone put you through.

You aren’t bad for something happening to you. You aren’t your trauma.

I’m sorry if you were ever made to feel that way, and I know that may never mean much coming from a stranger, but I know it’s something I wish I heard more.

There IS better autism research they could be doing, like trying to discover other medications that help with sensory issues and quality of life problems and trying to get better childhood diagnosis rates for autistic girls. But no, the decades long useless search to find out what causes autism and how to eliminate it continues. The push for “autism research” is never really about how to make things better for autistic people, it’s about how to make autistic people stop existing and that is nottttt possible. But they’ll continue to fixate on it.

hey shout out to plurals with "frustrating" or "socially bad" traits.

plurals who seem indecisive, "hot and cold", disloyal, dishonest, etc. to others due to subtle switches, passive influence, being median, amnesia barriers, etc. between headmates with very different opinions, wants, and moods

plurals who have headmates with "scary" attributes/symptoms, like hallucinations, delusions, anger issues, hypersexuality, low/no empathy, selfishness, need for attention, etc. especially those afraid they're perpetuating the "evil alter" stereotype

plurals who never know who's fronting. especially those with memory barriers, those who struggle with feeling any sense(s) of personhood, and/or those who struggle to keep close bonds with people due to this

plurals who struggle with meltdowns, tantrums, outbursts, pathological demand avoidance, poor sense of social norms, and other tendencies/issues that make being social or just existing in public difficult

plurals with fluctuating sexualities and/or triggers that make it difficult to remain with a partner/partners (or to date in the first place)

plurals who infight in-system and have trouble making decisions without intense internal backlash

plurals who have trouble keeping self care (and may go out of the house dirty/disheveled) due to other mental illness or due to frequent fronters being unmotivated, forgetful, or having sensory issues or triggers that interfere with self care tasks

plurals whose "self defense" relies on people pleasing, avoiding stressors, getting overly defensive, or getting angrier than "reasonable"

i write a lot of this cause i need to hear it, and i figure others do too. you are loved, you are appreciated, you deserve to be a part of society, you deserve to be happy, you deserve to be understood and given patience... you deserve to be able to create, love, heal, be respected, be treated like your own age, to lead, to have a voice, to feel safe.

I don’t know what trans guy needs to hear this but please break up and cut off with that person trying to convince you not to transition. They don’t care about your happiness.

Go get that masculine hair cut. Change your wardrobe. Go on T. Get top and/or bottom surgery. Do what makes you happy, and don’t let anyone try to tell you their comfort matters more then your happiness.

This is a post for nonhumans, alterhumans, otherkin, therians, etc. Please read.

A list of shout outs to people who experiences things that are often looked down upon by the community.

Shout out to those with violent urges

Shout out to those who actually hunt/want to

Shout out to those with delusions or other mental illnesses

Shout out to those who want to attack something/someone

Shout out to those who feel more comfortable nude

Shout out to those who want to live in the wild

Shout out to those with kinks/fetishes related to their identity

Shout out to those who want to live/be treated like an animal

Shout out to those with "ugly", "gross", or "nasty" 'types

Shout out to those who want to sh because of their identity

Shout out to those who want raw meat

Shout out to those who like gore

Shout out to any "negative" experiences I've missed

Shout out to those who feel guilty for some/all these things

Shout out to those who don't.

Being alterhuman, nonhuman, etc. isn't just identifying as a cute little creature. When your identity leaves you often outcast by society, it can carry some pretty dark and/or negative traits. It's simply our nature as alter-beings, and we should learn to except ourselves and others for having these experiences.

I understand some of you may be triggered by dark, gorey, or generally morbid things, but that doesn't mean you should look down on or discriminate against those who deal with those experiences. There is a dark side to being alterhuman. Always has been.

My message here is that no matter how gross, violent, or otherwise your experiences may be, you are still loved and valid. Imbrace being a monster if that's what you'd like. As long as you're not hurting anyone you shouldn't hide from these feelings.

sometimes disability accommodations arent what you think. sometimes its letting the weird people, well, be weird. letting them carry stuffed animals around, wear things you dont normally see, be loud/quiet, speak in odd manners, spell things wrong, all of it without backlash or harrassment.

and thats okay. its not just the big, important things that a lot of us NEED to function, like interpreters or ramps. sometimes the small things can make a difference too, no matter how “strange” or “distracting” they are.

if its not harming you or someone else its not a problem. its making someones life easier or less miserable.

“You can’t be a system!! You and ___ both do this!!!”

We still share a brain.

“You and ____ LOVEEE this!!”

We still share a brain.

“You and ____ talk very similarly!!!”

Let’s have some positivity for the systems who don’t fit the strict medical/nonmedical binary! Shoutout to the systems with complex origins and/or disordered status!

Shoutout to the endogenic or spiritual systems with CDDs and/or (C)PTSD!

Shoutout to the traumagenic-spec systems who split/formed to deal with the adversity they faced but never fufilled the disordered requirements for CDDs and/or (C)PTSD!

Shoutout to the systems of all origins in late stage CDD and/or (C)PTSD recovery, or those who are fully recovered!

Shoutout to the systems of all origins who “just” have DPDR!

Shoutout to the traumagenic systems that split/formed later in life!

Shoutout to the systems who voluntarily split/formed to deal with adversity!

Shoutout to the disordered median systems of all origins who aren’t multiple enough to fulfill the requirements for a CDD!

Shoutout to the systems who don’t know their origins, find their origins irrelevant, or reject origin labels altogether!

Shoutout to the semi-disordered systems!

Shoutout to ALL traumagenic-spec and endogenic, created, spiritual, and/or nontraumagenic-spec systems!

And shoutout to every other system that cannot fit neatly into the two boxes this community has created!

Yall are amazing and valid, and you don’t need to give up any aspect of your identity, regardless of what anyone else says. I wish there were more recognition and acceptance of you in this community…
