"But won't children be confused by all the LGBT-"

Yesterday I saw a mother with a baby carriage, being followed by a girl of about 4-6 years old on a bicycle. The kid started ringing her bike bell like RING RING RING RING RING RING RING, and the mother turned to look behind them to see whether they were being followed by a cyclist who desperately needs to pass them for the sake of everyone's safety.

And the little girl - who just rang the goddamn bell herself 5 seconds ago - also turned to look.

Kids are confused by everything at all times. They don't know jack shit. About anything.

i remember being like 8 or 9 and being told that my dad’s ex-wife was no longer diane and we were to address her as daniel now. my reaction: “ok.”

me and my brother later had a small discussion about whether that could happen randomly (conclusion: no, he probably had to file papers or something) and whether daniel should now be referred to as dad’s ex-husband (conclusion: yes but only to see the face he’ll make) but at no point did we find it like... alarming? the world is big and weird. we were used to it.

finding out a sorta-relative could just change genders off camera, as it were, was a whole lot less head-splodey than finding out there were no squirrels in australia!

There’s no what

"Won't they be confused by all the--" So what if they are? Life is often confusing. That's part of how we learn. Part of the job of an adult is to help confused kids learn and understand things. There's no obligation to protect the kids from the confusing things. Quite the reverse.

In my experience anyone using this BS excuse isn't worried about a child's potential confusion, but their own, which they don't want to admit to having.

Also kids are far less likely to be confused by something the younger they learn about it. Kiddo had queer people in his life and casual references to queerness before he could even talk. It was never confusing for him. It was normal.

Squirrels were an invasive species to Australia but they never managed to gain a foothold and were eradicated within a few years of their arrival.

if I ever tell you “lmk what you think if you read/play/watch it!” I am firmly inviting you to send me a play by play minute by minute cataloguing of your thoughts about The Thing

pro-tip: your blog is about you. be self-indulgent, self-absorbed, and self-possessed. go all in on your obsessions. this is a work of self-expression, a living monument to your heart.

Why wouldn't it?

It's been brought to my attention by @erarousfire that Magma Pterodactyls are actually canon. Phenomenal. I totally did that on purpose.

MONSTER PROM: DOOMED TO REPEAT Page #054 - Updated Tuesday + Thursday!

Hoo boy! Man I tell ya. Amirite?

(Sometimes it just be like that.)

OKAY. WHAT IF. I told you. This was the last time Oz dies. Would you believe me? Would you be rip-rarin' ready to get on with the plot? Or would you think I'm pulling a Tricky Tony, and lying to you?

Well either way. Let me tell you - a series of slapstick deaths is pretty quick when you're writing them. It's a little slower at two a week. But you know what? When you're fondly re-reading this comic later, because you totally love this comic and will do that, it'll be SO MUCH FASTER!

It'll be just like Amazon dropping an entire show all at once! But they still have ads. Luckily, -my- comic does not have ads! Completely unrelated, have you considered DONATING TO THE PATREON!? Hitting goal will keep the comic going INDEFINTELY! Hitting not-goal has a tenuous relationship with perpetuity at best.

While I'm at it, good lord! I wanna give a BIG THANKS to my existing Patrons! We've lost a few (times are tough fams, I get it) over the months, but most????? of them have been here since the beginning??? Cray shit. Is a cray an animal? This is shit from that animal. Cray, ass, shit. Shit from the cray butt. And of course, ultra big shout out to the OBERLIN PLATINUM VIPs, current and past. Absolute insanity. Can't wait for you to cancel as soon as you see your ridiculous cameos.

(That's /j. That's /j!!! Your cameos are gonna be SO SICK I promise. /ih.)

(The /ih stands for "I hope.")

(I guess I could've just written "I hope" instead of /ih.)

(Aw man, I could've totally shortened that to /igicjwihioih.)
