You uh. Ever feel the need to doodle the current internal events instead of sleep? Even though it's like 4 AM already?

Anyways hi I made this entirely on our phone enjoy the late night silly

#our art #plural artist #plurality #doodle #plural comic #I wish I could bite insomnia itself somehow #at least it led to art this time???

The purpose I was built for is no longer required. I no longer need to intervene in most situations. I am thankful that the others have grown enough for that. I understand that I am able to exist for my own sake, no longer defined by my former function. I understand that this is a positive thing.

That being said: I barely feel like I exist these days. My fronting capacity and independence were largely driven by necessity. I am often too tired to participate in internal interactions, never mind the outside world.

I do not want to fade away, even if I may be "obsolete" by some cold, utilitarian perspective. I want to exist. I want to feel like I know who I am beyond the function I used to be. I know I will get there someday. However: I also know that I will continue to have these moments of existential terror in the process.

Perhaps the fact that I care enough to be terrified is a good sign.

We wanted to do something to celebrate the release of the new PER INK EP, DEADNAMES, so here's a piece based on the first track, SCATTERBRAIN! This song resonated so strongly with all of us, in multiple ways, as did the rest of the EP. (UNDERSTUDY was also a strong contender for which track to draw, but it was harder to think of compelling visuals for. Maybe we'll think of something later though!)

This was fun! I kinda... ended up forcing myself to "embrace the jank" kinda? And it helped ease a lot of my usual perfectionist tendencies to be like, "I'm gonna make something that's supposed to be a bit bad even if I also want to be happy with it". Anyways, this comic is a mix of "hehe isn't it funny how I'm a cat who's somehow making art to post on tumblr dot com the website" and... this feeling I get sometimes that the others in the system are better at so much stuff, whether it's because I just can't quite copy what they do, or because I wanna do my own thing and it doesn't turn out as well as I'd like. And... that gets discouraging sometimes. But I need to remind myself that it's not about technical execution and stuff, it's about having fun and expressing stuff. And I did both! So I'm happy.

Happy Make a Terrible Comic Day, everyone!

hey your subsystem might be fusic btw

Just looked this term up, since we weren't familiar with it, and found the following definition:

-fusic is a suffix for terms describing a specific type of pluriship where fusion or gemfusion is part of the relationship in some way.

Assuming this is what you were referring to, I suppose it isn't entirely inaccurate? But it's not a term that particularly resonates either. We exist, when blended, as a sort of pseudo-fusion, as far as I'm concerned. Our fully blended state has a singular sense of self, but isn't any more "permanent" than our separate selves, and as such, at least personally, I tend to see it as something different from fusion.

Still, learning new vocabulary is always fun! Thanks for teaching us a new term.

hello ! i really like the nonbinary therian design sign/design; would it be okay if i printed it for personal use? (maybe a button or something like that)

Yeah, absolutely! Same goes for our other stuff too. If you like it, and want it on a button for yourself or printed for your wall or something, go ahead and DIY something! We're flattered that someone likes our work enough to want it on a physical thing.

Um hi! I saw your comic about being a blend, and it like, felt very relatable, so now Im kinda lowkey freaking out a tiny bit?!? Do you have any advice on how to find out for sure/disprove for sure?

Hmm... well, I guess the first bit of advice would be to not worry about it too much either way, as much as that's easier said than done. Regardless of what the answer turns out to be, there's nothing to be worried or ashamed about when it comes to your internal structure. As for how to figure that out, a lot of it for us (as in, our subsystem specifically - the overall system is a different matter) came down to asking the question "wait, who thought that" a lot. Eventually we got enough of a "feel" for our respective thoughts and presences internally to confidently say "oh, I guess I'm not blending with the others right now" or "yep, I'm just a big bowl of cat soup". It's a little hard to put a lot of this stuff to words, but hopefully that helps at least a little!
