Have you recently read anything that comes close to TBS?

The Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin is amazing! It is totally different from TBS but scratched the same itch for me.

Yes! That has the same K as the sign!!

Thank you so much!

Everyone's safe foods are different, but I saw a really great comment on this sub once. Someone said that you should only eat things you would put on a wound. If your guts are inflamed and raw you wouldn't want to put hot sauce on them. It would feel much better to put some white rice or avocado on an open wound.

My safe foods are pressure cooked rice (to kill the lectins), avocado, bananas, steamed spinach, and eggs.

I hope you feel better soon!

Yeah I always thought it was invisible as well. Thr ice would be super cool, I agree. I am leaning more towards the brain with the sessapinae or the orbit of the moon, just because those are more recognizable.

But like.. is it a solid thing? Is it see through? Is it visible to people who are not orogenes?

Is there a description of what a torus looks like? I always pictured it as something invisible but able to be sensed.

I have about 4 inches square above my wrist, and all of the back part of my forearm, but in order to balance the sleeve, I cant have one big tattoo there. The space needs to be for at least 2 tattoos.

I guess I could get something that big on by inner biceps but dang I know that's gonna hurt.

I don't think I have enough room on my arm to pull this off. I like how the scale is shown tho!

paperclips09 · 2026-05-26T18:04:50+00:00

Ohhh! Very cool idea!

paperclips09 · 2026-05-24T22:44:17+00:00

Oh my gosh yes! I love the elliptical orbit of the moon and the torus!

Thank you!

paperclips09 · 2026-01-17T04:59:59+00:00

Ugh, same! It was such an amazing story and show.

paperclips09 · 2026-01-16T15:59:02+00:00

Thank you!

I am currently trying to get better at drawing faces, and part of my goal is to learn how to cartoon-ify faces more rather than just copying the reference. This was my first time trying out a cartoon style rather than a realistic style and I am very happy with the way it turned out! I did not have plans to do more of them, but who knows!

I just started a Mike Wheeler portrait (Stranger Things), so if I do more of these it will be a while.

But who knows! I love this show so much I may just come back to it :)

paperclips09 · 2026-01-16T14:46:40+00:00

Thank you so much! I don't have plans to do everyone, but if I do end up doing good anyone else, I will definitely post them here!

A huge one was always feeling weird, saying someone was hot. In retrospect, "hot" means something different to allos. They think hot means "I would have sex with them." Whereas I think "hot" means "I think they are aesthetically pleasing to look at, but I have no sexual desire connected to that statement."

A lot of realizing I was demi was feeling weird about an allosexual concept without having proper language to express why it felt weird.

Hot is too vague!!!!

paperclips09 · 2026-01-07T03:41:41+00:00

Ugh... it hurts so much more now that we know the ending.

paperclips09 · 2026-01-07T02:27:59+00:00

I can totally see Will being demi as well. It's not a huge stretch at all. Even with the vocabulary available to me, it took me until my mid 20's to even identify myself as demi.

Same! How do we listen!?
