Real talk why does social interaction feel like you’re trying to get a good grade in being a person
Always.
Always.
I often ask myself, “Did I make it weird again?”
Often, the answer is yes. And I’ll probably do it again.
But here’s the thing: find your weird. Find your people that way.
Welcome to The Webcomic Library!
Hiya peeps! My name is Luma (Xe/Xem) and I run the Webcomic Library, a database and general comics project. I've been running the Library for 7 years and overtime have been able to read many comics, meet creators from all around the world, and learn so much in the process. I'm passionate about webcomics as a storytelling medium and I wanna share that with you all!
The biggest part of the Webcomic Library is the Database. Over the years I have been able to document over 2000 series. I tag by a range of categories including more basic info like where a comic is published and its genre to more in depth information like LGBT+ representation and content warnings. I have over 300 tags so far to help you find a series that you'll love!
Of course, I do more outside of the database. I'm active on Tumblr, Twitter, and Bluesky boosting comics, sharing resources, and general comic ideas and news. I also currently have a discord for people in the community to meet (PM for an invite), I've run a virtual convention in the past, and collaborated with many platforms and collectives including Hiveworks, Webtoon, and Screentones. Thanks to the work I do here, my dayjob currently is at Tapas as a Content Moderator . The Webcomic Library is currently actively archived by the Library of Congress, including my Tumblr, as part of their efforts to document the broader comic community. To put simply: I get around!
Being a one person project I do a lot of legwork to maintain and expand my efforts. That being said, I could always use help and support to bring the Webcomic Library to heights I couldn't achieve on my own. You can help this project by:
Following on social media and Tagpacker
Submitting new series to the database and helping updating current entries by following this submission sheet
Buying books in the Webcomic Library's Bookshop and Amazon Storefronts
Donate directly via Ko-Fi
Sharing this project with others!
I'm really proud of everything I've done with the Webcomic Library over the years. I love working to bring stories to others and support the creators that make them. The plans I have to continue bringing that passion to yall is exiting and I'm elated to share what I have in store. If you're interested, I'd love to have you join me in this journey!
Senshi, we need to cook.
sometimes a family is a bubbly lady who was raised by an eccentric gay vampire, her french engineer lover, a practical minded lesbian, a werelioness with an affinity for tassels, an academic redhead who gets pegged, and a female doctor with an assassin mother. plus the bubbly lady’s cousin who tried to kill her and his trans woman interpreter/spy wife
Ever hear an Andean cock of the rock before? Probably not, or maybe you have and didn't realise it, because they sound quite a bit like a kookaburra!
Kookaburra laugh: just absolutely losing it at some silly nonsense
Cock of the rock laugh: you are about to die to an Evil Scientist Device

horse people are weird
what does this mean
horses can see demons
@betterbemeta are you able to translate this? Is it true horses can see netherbeings?? Will we ever know the extent of their powers???
I think I have reblogged this before but I’ll answer it again bc its a fascinating answer I feel and i was more funny than informational last time.
The truth is that horses see what they think are nether beings, I guess. They have a perfect storm of sensory perception that, useful for prey beings, marks false positives on mortal danger all the time. Which is advantageous to a flight-based prey species: running from danger when you’re super fast is much ‘cheaper’ than fighting, so you waste almost nothing from running from a threat that’s not there. Versus, you blow everything if you don’t see a threat that is there.
Horses also have their eyes positioned on the sides of their heads, which gives them an incredible range of peripheral vision almost around their entire body with only a few blind spots you can sneak up on them in. But this comes at the cost of binocular vision; they can only judge distance for things straight ahead of them. Super useful for preventing predators sneaking up from the sides or behind, but useless for recognizing familiar shapes with the precision we can.
Basically we now have a walking couch with anxiety its going to get attacked at any second, that can see almost everything, but mostly only out of the corner of its eye. It has a few blind spots and anything that suddenly appears out of them is terrifying to it. Combine that with that it actually has far superior low-light vision than us, and that its ears can swivel in any directions like radar dishes, and you’ve basically given a nervous wreck a highly accurate but imprecise danger-dar.
To be concise: all horses, even the most chill horses, on some level believe they are living in a survival horror.
This means that you could approach it in a flapping poncho and if it can’t recognize your shape as human, they mistake you for SATAN… or you could pass this one broken down tractor you’ve passed 100 times on a trail ride, but today is the day it will ATTACK… or your horse could feel a horsefly bite from its blind spot and MAMA, I’VE BEEN HIT!!!… or you could both approach a fallen log in the woods but in the low light your horse is going to see the tree rings as THE EYE OF MORDOR.
However, they actually have kind of a cool compensation for this– they are social animals, and instinctively look towards leadership. In the wild or out at pasture, this is their most willful, pushy, decisive leader horse who decides where to go and where it’s safe. But humans often take this role both as riders and on the ground. They are always watching and feeling for human reactions to things. This is why moving in a calm, decisive way and always giving clear commands is key to working with this kind of animal. Confusing commands, screaming, panic, visible distress, and chaos will signal to a horse that you, brave leader are freaked out… so it should freak out too!
On one hand, you’ll get horses that will decide that they are the leader and you are not, so getting them to listen to you can be tough– requiring patience and skill more than force. On the other hand, a good enough rider and a well-trained horse (or a horse with specialized training) can venture into dangerous situations, loud and scary environments, etc. calmly and confidently.
The joke in OP though is that many horses that are bred to be very fast, like thoroughbreds, are also bred and encouraged to be high-energy and highstrung. Making them more anxious and prone to seeing those ‘demons.’ All horses in a sense are going to be your anxious friend, but racehorses and polo ponies and other sport horses can sometimes be your anxious friend that thinks they live in Silent Hill.
Reblogging some horse knowledge for certain people who write fantasy books but know nothing about horses *cough cough*
reblogging for the line “Basically we now have a walking couch with anxiety”.
Also: horses have very limited depth perception. You know that thing where you out your finger on the bridge of your nose and it disappears because it’s behind your field of vision? Now imagine your nose is as long as a horse’s. The blind spot in front of a horse’s nose is huge, four to six feet or so. When a horse jumps, it can’t see the fence, it has to be trained / remember to look for it and remember where it is and how high. They cannot tell if that is a spot of oil or a black hole in the road. It’s probably a black hole. Better avoid it.
Horses can’t see your hand, they smell the treat (and use very sensitive skin/whiskers to feel.) Some horses are garbage at doing this gently, just absolutely awful, but remember - they can’t see what they’re doing.
Horses also have partial color vision - they see horse relevant colors. Blue, yellow and therefore green. No red derived colors. If you want to see an anxious couch have a bad trip, ride it in an arena with alternating sections of purple and yellow seating. Grey grey YELLOW YELLOW HOLY SHIIIIIIIT. Every single horse would walk past the purple seats and go OH MY FUCK at the yellow ones. This is why the bright red (grey) bucket isn’t a problem, but oH my FfffffffffSHIttTTTT do they notice a stray yellow plastic grocery bag.
Last statement here is, instinct tells a horse that anything clinging to your back is going to eat you. That we spend so much effort convincing them otherwise is amazing and in general a testament to the human race’s commitment to Bad Ideas.

🔹 Someone else's fiction cannot cause you physical harm.
🔹If someone else's fiction is causing you emotional or psychological harm, or distress, you can put it down and not read/watch it.
🔹Your emotional well-being is not the responsibility of fiction writers.
🔹Someone else's fiction is not about your personal trauma.
🔹When reading or watching fiction, you always have the power. You can always stop. You are never reading fiction without your own consent.
🔹Fiction writers are not responsible for other people's mental health.
🔹The content of a piece of fiction does not reflect on the morality of its author.
🔹Just because someone writes about bad things happening, doesn't mean they want those things to happen.
🔹Don't like? Don't read.
-a writer's only job is to tell their story. they have no responsibility to you for how it makes you feel. you chose to consume the story. so those are your feelings that you need to take ownership of.
-discomfort is not the same as harm and acclimating yourself via fiction to strongly unpleasant emotions such as sorrow, indignation, and disgust will make you stronger and healthier
-however if you are repeatedly triggering yourself by engaging with media that makes you miserable you should probably recognize that it's up to you to stop hurting yourself

Y’ALL ARE AS MERCILESS AS HE IS I LOVE IT
[Image description: the first two images are screenshots from The Legend of Vox Machina of Percy saying “I’m simply suggesting you could all benefit from some well-practiced restraint.”
The rest of the images are tags. Not including functional tags, they say:
[all caps] and then he went completely ballistic. [laughing] I love this fuckin show.

my theory is that boops are so great because they are fullfilling two very deep-seated desire of tumblr users: 1. being able to interact with your mutuals without actually having to talk to each other and 2. being very annoying
boop linguistics post
do you boop your paw at us, sir?
i do boop my paw, sir
do you boop your paw at us, sir?
is the law of our side if i say aye?
no, sir, i do not boop my paw at you sir; but i boop my paw, sir
i think this is probably true of every office, but there's a middle aged woman working in business who doesn't hold any particular place in the chain of command but is Sovereign. i was running support and she has access to more secure network drives than i do. im pretty sure she has an admin account. i was having trouble with my parking pass and my boss just said to talk to kristen- one day later i had parking in any garage on campus. she's not even in charge of parking in our building
This is also true of academia. In pretty much any department of the university — in my experience at least — there’s a person with a small-but-private office and an unassuming title (probably including a word like “secretary” or “assistant”), usually an older woman, and she actually runs the place. Faculty defer to her; department heads come and go, but Jill has been there for thirty years and knows how everything works, and she’s the person you go to if you want to get anything done. You’ll know her because when a professor directs you to her they won’t say “you need to talk to the Office of So-and-So because this falls under their purview”, but “you need to talk to Jill.” Her official job title is basically irrelevant because her actual role is acting as eminence grise for this whole operation.
I’ve personally had the experience where my advisor told me “you should do such-and-such certification, go talk to Jill,” and I went to talk to Jill & she said “actually you can’t do such-and-such because XYZ,” so I went back to my advisor to relay this, and he just kind of shrugged and was like, “well if Jill says no, then it can’t be done” and that was the end of it. Complete veto power, no higher authority to turn to, because the only reason Jill can’t do something is if it’s literally impossible.
Honestly there’s probably a whole dissertation about invisible labor and gender dynamics in there waiting to be written.
The one in my undergrad department was Linda C, and I think her hypercompetence must have risen to the point of allowing her to manipulate time itself, because in my experience, every time you needed to talk to Ms. C, you would end up chatting with her for at least an hour (which was both enjoyable and informative) and yet she got so much work done--it just didn't seem physically possible.
Take secretaries and administrative assistants out of any organization and you'll see it crumble in no time. They are the holder of the secrets to understanding red tape and other administrative nightmares.
The whole project of corporate IT was trying to get rid of this type of person and it's why nothing works anymore and we're all dying
as a kid i thought i would graduate from kid problems like cleaning my room to adult problems like jobs and taxes. but instead i have a job and taxes and still have to clean my room. cleaning my room is a lifetime problem. i will never stop having to put my markers away before bedtime. this is a rude way for aging to work.

Happy Trans Visibility Day!
I was a foolish fool who foolishly didn't reblog this yesterday because I foolishly didn't check my own foolish comic tag, but I will happily reblog it today now that I have seen it.
