being a boy in the zutara fandom is like being the boy character in an 80s cartoon like rainbow brite or strawberry shortcake where the writers realized that tho their show is marketed to girls there is a non-zero number of little gay boys also watching so they make a boy character named like Blueberry Ben or something and he comes along for the adventures but he never undermines the girls at all, doesn't have a crush on any of them, he's just part of the friend group and maybe occasionally he gets into some hijinks by being a little bit of a himbo and the girls come save him and then they all berate him like "come onnnn Blueberry Ben what have we told you about crossing through Old Man McGunkus's pumpkin patch? He is NOT afraid to invoke castle doctrine!" and he comes along for adventures but the girls are mostly in charge. and he gets to come to the slumber parties.

THAT'S RIGHT, lmao

It's such a funny experience. My entire ZK friend group is girls and a couple non-binary folks. And then there's me, the Token Guy, there to be the sole boy representation and be lightheartedly teased for my boyish ways.

Hey, just wanted to send you some applause and kudos for Supergirl's Family Vacation -- just loved this book. The world you and Brandon Snider have created is delightful — really fun and touching, making a unique version of Kara and the Superman family, and other DC characters.

And your artwork really gives the characters life and individuality; IMO, you brought out the humor and the emotion perfectly.

(And your Batman looks like he really, really needs a vacation. 😁)

I checked it out from the library, and enjoyed it so much I went out and bought it the next day.

If there’s any chance that you’re involved in a sequel to this book, I will pre-order it in a heartbeat.

Oh, thank you so much! :D For both the kind comment and supporting the book (at the library as well as picking up a copy!) Always so glad to hear folks have enjoyed it—I agree that Brandon wrote such a fun version of the Superfam/DCU to explore, was so glad to have the opportunity to help him bring it to life! (I’d like to think Bruce’s time watching Krypto and the fortress could give him a bit of a staycation? Maybe? XD)

Again, thanks so much! :)

I'm really amused at the idea of Rocky having one-sided beef with Stratt.

“fujoshis are harmful to gay men” not this gay man.

on twitter this got a bunch of responses like “wow even the evil fujoshis? the homophobic yet hypocritically fetishistic ones? what if the fujoshi is racist?” and like well no obviously not in that case.

The European Union already forced Apple to abandon its proprietary charging port and adopt USB-C across its entire iPhone lineup. It just did something bigger. A new EU mandate requires every smartphone sold in Europe including Apple devices to feature a battery that can be replaced by the user without specialist tools, without voiding a warranty, and without sending the device to a manufacturer approved service center. Batteries must maintain a minimum capacity threshold after a set number of charge cycles and replacement parts must remain available for up to ten years after a model goes on sale.

The consumer electronics industry built its current business model around batteries that degrade, cannot be replaced at home, and create a natural upgrade cycle every two to three years. The EU just legislated that model out of existence in the world's largest regulatory market.

Apple, Samsung, and every other manufacturer now faces a choice between redesigning their devices for the European market or accepting that their current hardware architecture is no longer legally sellable there.

Given that no company walks away from European consumers voluntarily the phones are going to change and once they change for Europe the rest of the world will ask why theirs still do not.

Daily affirmations:

No one will find the picture in your attic.

It's not your fault the person made of cadavers you sew together and you revived killed your family.

It's perfectly normal to enter your house climbing like a lizard.

The fact that you killed a man doesn't make you guilty, it was just your silly alter ego.

That raven who won't stop saying "nevermore" is an asshole, don't listen to it.

Your fiancé is definitely NOT hiding his mad spouse in his attic.

The big ass dog that killed members of your family isn't real, dw.

You deserve revenge for having been abused as a child, go back to moors and show them!

Go and kidnap that singer!
