Mamce Bylo V Práci řečeno, že Se Autismus Už Nemá Nazývat Autismem Ani Poruchou Autistického

No because hello new piece of media who's going to be my personality for the next months and make me cry every time I'll think about it.

someone in the UK threw eggs at Charles and was arrested and has been banned from openly carrying eggs in public and has since been sent death threats but their statement on the matter was so fucking good

“Arthur! Arthur, we landed on Boardwalk again!”

Anyways, a concept that is very near and dear to my heart is Arthur actually going back to Marie’s to visit and she ropes him into playing board games.

Because old people fucking love board games.

And John would get so into it. Concerningly into it? Competitive as hell. He’d start out all “This is a waste of time! We should be out looking for the Order, not sitting here playing games!” and then one hour in he’s all “Yes! Yes!! We have two railroads!! She owes us double!!”

Plus the shenanigans of Arthur trying to teach John how to play while he literally can’t speak to him out loud? Hilarious.

Harlan if you’re reading this, please, imagine a big monopoly game with the S4 characters, it would be so funny.

forreal though not every trans or genderqueer person redacts their whole life once they realize their gender. the ‘i always knew i was a boy/girl, i was never ever the gender assigned to me at birth, not at all, not in any way’ narrative is very true for some people, but that story’s positioning as the only correct non-transphobic way to describe trans people’s lived experiences silences a lot of people who have very different (and less simple and convenient) journeys to their final identity.

some men were girls. some women were boys. that’s how they feel and it’s important to me that they’re respected for it and not scolded for telling the stories of their lives wrong just because other people can’t (or don’t want to) relate. there are so many different ways to grow up trans and to be trans, that someone’s life is always going to be totally alien to someone else, a total contradiction to their own experiences. 

that should be okay. we should all be okay with it. no one narrative about any group of people should be the very definition of all of those people. activism needs to respect diversity of people’s lives, stories, and agency, or it’s just more useless shouting at people who have enough to fucking deal with already. 

13th century England? I'll have a blast, the High Middle Ages is my passion.

when people say there's something wrong with Arthur's eyes I like to think it's because John wants to look everywhere, and does so in this sort of uncanny fashion

Writing stories is my therapy, it's how I cope with the world. When I come up with a theme I always do a little reflection, how it ties to me and my issues.

And it slaps.

storyteller

sometimes I forget that I'm just a teenager writing a webcomic in my spare time, so I shouldn't hold myself to the same standards as, say, a feature film with an entire team of professional writers, or Hiromu Arakawa. Writing flawed stories is okay, and even necessary in order to write better ones :)

(if you want to read aforementioned amateur webcomic...)

When I walk into a getting absolutely fucking battered deepdicked misery-jerked fistfucked from behind by entities and walking away whimpering like there's no tomorrow competition and I see Arthur Lester there

I think we’ve skimmed over the fact that Arthur is a cannibal, and enjoyed it.

Cannibal Arthur.
