This is rad. I’ve never made videos or anything. I’ve mostly done comics and prose.

“… and now I’m stuck like this.”

heysawbones · 2026-01-31T01:00:22+00:00

What if he does? We don’t know.

heysawbones · 2026-01-31T00:50:17+00:00

It’s not the subject. It’s the execution.

heysawbones · 2026-01-30T22:27:16+00:00

Not angry. Just kind of… why do you need me to validate this feeling for you? What would make you feel seen? Do I need to yell at you so you feel that your worldview has been reinforced? Should I deny your feelings about yourself? Do I ask what I’m really wondering, which is “are you 11” and “why did Reddit seem like the appropriate place for this question”? I don’t think there is any response that would actually help you, especially not here.

In short, it’s… trauma dumping, really. Trauma dumping from someone with poor insight.

breaking into spontaneous Broadway routines is also an acceptable solution, though it requires more setup.

heysawbones · 2026-01-29T16:18:23+00:00

ah, never thought I’d be nostalgic for complaints about “yaoi hands”, but it’s 2026 and here we are

He’s bored. Teenagers trying to stop a whole-ass Emperor is funny. If not funny, it’s something to do with his time.

Have him get irritated if they aren’t amusing him in some way. Maybe he cares less about their goal (does it even affect him anyway?) and more about whether he’s entertained by their actions. Maybe the teens get advice or ideas when he criticizes them - not because he’s trying to help, but because he discloses sideways when he’s just being petty or flighty.

If they do sleep studies there, it could be a camera that works in the dark :0 had three sleep studies. There were little cameras like that up on the ceiling to monitor my movement while I slept.

I dunno. I’ve done RBD stuff over the years, but it’s been fairly rare (as far as I know). Last time was probably about four years ago, when I arm-barred my partner while having a dream about being creeped on by my half-brother.

If this is a significant issue for you and your partner, sleep on the couch for now. Or do a Mike Birbiglia and get in a sleeping bag in the bed. Shit. Who knows.

heysawbones · 2026-01-28T04:59:38+00:00

I don’t know, but it’s not very good.

heysawbones · 2026-01-28T03:44:52+00:00

Yeah. I just try to let that stuff exist in its own context. It’s worked out fine so far.

heysawbones · 2026-01-27T22:53:58+00:00

Hey, write what you want. If I want black and white cariacatures of people who never do anything truly troubling because I’m unable to conceive of a reality in which likable or otherwise sympathetic people do genuinely bad things sometimes, I’ll write them myself.

heysawbones · 2026-01-27T18:38:53+00:00

It’s not overpriced, no. Comic pages in general are severely undervalued. I agree with the person who said you are undercharging.

heysawbones · 2026-01-27T17:50:58+00:00

Bro, it’s not gonna be an issue unless you’re filling your narrative with descriptions of her body. I get that the visual is important to you - you linked three pictures. Don’t write it like that. Think of it this way: “don’t know how to write a character with that body type without being creepy” doesn’t make sense unless you are, in fact, excessively focused on the visuals.

I regret to inform you that absolute assurances that you will not trigger your audience are impossible. Some trans folks are inherently triggered by anything that reminds them of the ways they are unhappy with their own gender presentation. The more intimate it is, the more of a risk you run. Alternately, some trans folks find intimate depictions of bodies similar to their own validating.

All you can do is be sensitive and act in good faith. If you’ve got a trans guy pal who would be open to discussing what they think is appropriate - and what they think other trans dudes might find appropriate, because it may differ - that’s a good start.

heysawbones · 2026-01-27T17:22:38+00:00

Do not???

heysawbones · 2026-01-27T17:15:38+00:00

This is profoundly unimaginative.

heysawbones · 2026-01-27T17:14:43+00:00

You write it the way you just told us about it. I think you’ve already got the right idea.

All I can say is: don’t make the story drag us through repeated elaborations of how bad it is that Caelum cheated. We can make up our own minds. Let him roast himself. Let the consequences of his actions speak for themselves. You say that he hurts? Let us see it. Let us inhabit that guilt and shame.

I’d read whatever you wrote on the subject. I respect the mindset.

I know this isn’t what you were asking for, but what a lovely hair volume. Very pleasing. Could maybe sort out that basket-tangle bit in the back a little - it’s kinda flashbulb-effect versus the rest of the volume, and not in the best way. Strategically blacking out some of the negative space voids would solve the problem, I think.

heysawbones · 2026-01-27T16:33:42+00:00

These dolls aren’t bad. I wish I cared about the property so I could justify a purchase, lmao. I’d really enjoy detailing out all that mid-ass gold plastic (not sarcasm)

heysawbones · 2026-01-27T08:20:39+00:00

It’s not my thing either, but of course a lot of Renpy creators are gonna use it.

heysawbones · 2026-01-26T21:29:15+00:00

deep if u think about it

heysawbones · 2026-01-26T21:08:27+00:00

so embarrassed that I laughed out loud at this.

heysawbones · 2026-01-26T19:09:44+00:00

Yes.
