"Rabbits are so human. Or perhaps, humans are so rabbit?" -Ronald Lockley, 1966

This masterpost is an assembly of my webcomics, all of which can be read on Tumblr! You will find links to each comic here, as well as links to story navigation and the original comic sites (which are a great place to binge). My comics are all heavily thematic and focus on things like queerness/LGBTQ, neurodivergence, disability, etc. Some are Pokemon comics and some are original stories. Enjoy!

Finding Your Roots is a pokemon nuzlocke comic depicting the story of Cedar, a mudkip from Littleroot who sets out on a journey to save the life of an orphaned egg. The region of Hoenn can be a dangerous place, especially to pokemon like Cedar and her friends. But together, Team Hearth can overcome even the greatest challenges. FYR explores themes of identity, race relations, disability, and queer existence.

[innerchildabortionclinic]

your ex is a narcissist? so he must struggle with close friendships, right--oh, he's respectful to his male friends? he only acts this way around women? that's crazy, they should invent a word for such a phenomenon

SPB Thoughts on the Pipe Up Cast- NIKO

3 people voted for Niko, so. :V

Theme: Coffee and Cigarettes, NeverShoutNever

Niko is that troubled teenager inside of all of us. The part of you that feels scrappy and unlovable, the part that gets pushed down but keeps coming back up no matter what you do.

Niko is a little- unlike the rest of the Warren who are older teenagers, Niko is about 14 mentally.

Niko is the Warren member who takes the most pride in being queer/nonbinary. Besides Percy they would be the most likely member to try dating.

Niko is the latest Warren member to split, a couple years ago as opposed to the other members who split in childhood. They split from Harper.

Niko being a stoat caused my co-author Egge to fall in love with stoats, so that animal is now her non-pokemon sona. Niko is Egge's favorite character, and she roleplayed as Shadowheart in our workshop server for months until she lost Discord Nitro.

Niko is probably the most popular character besides Piper and Kai.

The reason Niko uses drugs like tobacco is because they find it exciting. But they are mainly the sort to use drugs socially- they don't really have a habit of smoking or drinking alone.

schizophrenia spectrum people who have violent urges are still deserving of care and compassion without judgement

schizophrenia spectrum people who are homeless or experience food insecurity are still deserving of care and compassion without judgement

schizophrenia spectrum people who talk out loud to hallucinations and act erratic in public are still deserving of care and compassion without judgement

schizophrenia spectrum people who cannot work or go to school because of their symptoms are still deserving of care and compassion without judgement

schizophrenia spectrum people who struggle with personal hygiene are still deserving of care and compassion without judgement

schizophrenia spectrum people who don’t want to take medication or cannot adhere to a medication regiment are still deserving of care and compassion without judgement

schizophrenia spectrum people who live with their parents as an adult or needs a carer are still deserving of care and compassion without judgement

just because someone on the schizophrenia spectrum is stereotypical or societally ostracized doesn’t take away their right to being treated with kindness, compassion, and respect and given autonomy

SPB Thoughts on the Pipe Up Cast- HARPER

Theme: Lemon Drop, Raynes

Harper is the Warren's social facilitator. She will often front in social settings where there are more strangers and acquaintances than close friends/family. Harper's main haunts are school, church, extracurriculars, and parties.

Harper is the main reason Percy has a generally positive reputation at school. He manages the Warren's image/impression/reputation.

We originally thought about making Harper a peacock, but I believe it was Tiny(?) who eventually suggested they be a songbird. So we went with eastern bluebird.

Harper's loyalties rest with the Warren alone. With others outside the system, she can be quite cutthroat at times. She is not nurturing like Piper, but she loves Piper and Quinn and LOOOVES Percy.

I mentioned in Piper's post that Piper is based on one of my modes. Harper is kind of like the other side of that mode. While Piper carries the traits of nurture and unconditional love, Harper holds the impression maintenance and unattached nature underneath. So if you combine these two characters, you basically have a whole of one of my parts.

He loves nothing more than gossip... besides Percy.

Guest Post: Upper Limb Difference - from a friend of Mod Rock's.

This is not so much writing advice as it is personal experience, but it's about living as an upper limb amputee. If you have any questions for M, I can pass them along.

My name is M. I was born without an arm, specifically below the elbow on my right arm. I'm a college student.

I find as an amputee, approaching and asking about other amputees is much more socially acceptable. It’s like a shared experience that people acknowledge and whatnot. It’s great seeing another amputee out and about!

My personal preference is that I don’t mind answering questions or giving insight on the amputee community. I know that this is not an idea shared by everyone and a lot of other amputees don’t like stares or questions.

I do just about everything with my left hand which means my left hand is at more risk of being overused. It’s a common thing amongst amputees, especially as they grow older. 

Some things I do to adapt is use my nub (term used to refer to the shortened limb - others, usually leg amputees, may call them stumps) and my knee and a pinch action when opening items or things people normally do with the thumb to hold this down. I do have an elbow so if I have any light bags I usually just hook it on my elbow and I can carry it without thinking about it too much. Heavier items may mean I can’t do this. I applaud using my left hand and right elbow.

I find adapting to things comes more naturally to me as I was born with my differences. I utilize a lot of other body parts to make up for a hand. I also sometimes use any walls or other surfaces to help.

For example, if I’m putting up my hair, I go against a wall and use the wall to help hold up my hair while my hand ties it into a ponytail. I have found that hair claw clips are really easy to use. I do ask my friends to help me or hold stuff occasionally and they are really nice about it!

Sometimes I have to get creative to adapt, like playing the guitar (I taped a guitar pick to my nub to strum).

I have similar adaptations for opening sodas or packaging, although sometimes I genuinely do struggle. Getting larger containers is usually tricky so I am used to asking others for help when I need it.

Since I was born an amputee, I found prosthetics difficult to use. I never liked wearing a prosthetic for an extended period of time because the effort outweighed the use. When I did wear one, it would often clonk against things because I’d forget it was there and my brain wasn’t used to calculating space or dodging with the added length. It would also be uncomfortable in casual settings, where I’d have to try to find a position that worked around the arm. 

No amputee wears their prosthetic all the time. They become uncomfortable and exhausting to use.

Advanced prosthetics such as bionic ones are much more costly as they are able to move around, at the price of having to be charged + the expense. A lot of more affordable ones are more stagnant; they usually only have a specific use. They can be made more versatile with removable attachments for various individual functions.

In general it is easier for me to adapt tasks using my body or my surroundings than with a prosthetic.

I think people are often shocked I can do pretty basic things like tie my shoe or cut paper. They're also surprised I can do more athletic things like cartwheels and handstands (which I can't do now but when I was younger I could). I can do elbow planks or one handed regular planks; although I can do a regular plank, I’m just really slanted. Pushups are more falling than the push up itself.

People also definitely do infantilize me sometimes. Sometimes I get ableism where they think I can do everything an abled person can, but sometimes I've had people think I can't do anything, even when I advocate for myself. It can be hard for people to realize they're being ableist.
