ok some more moments from the book that I can't get out of my head

- Grace calling Rocky "my boy Rocky" within minutes after meeting them for the first time

- Rocky working on his projects while Grace is asleep. they're so parallel play

- Grace lying to Rocky about the effects radiation has on humans and it never being brought up again 🙁

- Rocky being so emotional about failing to fix things 🙁🙁🙁

- "how long do humans live question" AND THE CHAPTER JUST ENDS THERE. NOT OKAY

- Grace giving Stratt shit for preffering only heterosexual men on the team (to quote my bf: "well if Grace is on the Hail Mary then she obviously failed at that")

- Grace pouting several times over having to save humanity instead of just studying this awesome alien. very real of him

- "alien-enforced bedtime"

- Rocky overall being so mean and bossy and being PROUD of it like. ok

- Grace thinking of Rocky as his only friend even though it's clearly described in the book that he does meet up with people, that he is actively invited by people and that even in the project he is respected and valued by his colleagues. oh this hurts the man

- Grace going through the hassle of activating the Petrovascope every day after he parts ways with Rocky, just to see the light of their ship as long as he's able to. this REALLY hurts the man

- "All I see when I close my eyes is Rocky's dumb carapace and his little arms always fidgeting with something." Sentence like straight out of a ao3 fanwork

- both Grace and Rocky ending up with burns on their arms from their battles with the airlock and the taumoeba respectively... oh they're so beaten up and bruised they need to take care of each other a lot 🤧🤧

- "You and I found each other. That's something." They just say that and then act all chill and casual about it 😕😕 I will explode both of you with my mind

comicfury continues to reign supreme as the only webcomic platform that understands it's a webcomic platform

[genericpuff]

making an extra post because the tags aren't good enough

here is all the reasons why you should use comicfury (if you aren't already) :

pretty much full control over your custom site design. if you're an HTML/CSS nerd you can go as crazy as you want with it. but for those who aren't so code-savvy, there are also simplified built-in design tools so you can create a unique site for yourself and your work. reject homogeneous minimalism design of bigger platforms, embrace tradition of mid-2000's kitchen sink site design (if that's what you want, that is).

the site demonstrates its own philosophies through its extremely charming vintage 2000's-era site design. it ain't broke so it doesn't need fixing. if it's too 'ugly' for you and wards you off from using the site, then it's succeeding at what it was designed to do.

forums! remember those??? CF sure does!

full view of your comic statistics over the past month, shown as delicious daily line graphs, separated by unique visitors, web page view, and scroll view.

hosting is free. don't want that pesky 'thecomicseries' or 'comicfury' add-on? all you gotta do is purchase your own domain name. contact kyo and they'll take care of the rest.

you can categorize your pages per chapter, making for an easier reading experience

you can include page transcripts for screen-readers as well as mouseover text

you can enable comments per upload and even manage them so that all comments have to be approved by you before they're shared publicly

archive tagging!!! i.e. you can tag uploads with relevant characters / locations / etc. so people can find specific pages easier on your site.

you can run a goddang BLOG on your comic site so that people can read what you've been up to! or don't, it's your choice!

clear filters for NSFW content. the filters do what they must to inform your audience as intended, outside of that, your comic will not be taken down, flagged, or suppressed in search results just because it contains violence or boobies.

they are strictly anti-AI

they do not make licensing deals with third-party companies, so the only 'competition' you have are other indie creators like you, no Marvel or DC nonsense

you're free to embed ads and/or donation buttons on your site and CF will not take off a single cent of it for themselves.

the front page goes to Recently Updated by default, all the other tabs are simply Popular Now and Popular Overall. there's also a Random button if you want to be surprised with something new. while this might seem like a bad thing for people who prefer custom filtering, this unbiased layout prevents the common visibility issues / favoritism / etc. that happen on other platforms.

but if you DO want to find something new that fits your specific tastes? just use their search bar, unlike on Webtoons it actually does what search bars are supposed to do! within the search page you can pick and choose whatever genre tags you want, and you can filter out major NSFW flags you're not comfortable with seeing.

saving the best for last: none of those features outlined above require paying a premium subscription tier. you have access to ALL the same tools and permissions that everyone else does. you have just as much potential to gain an audience there as everyone else and you are all granted the same freedoms.

COMICFURY HAS A SCROLL VIEW SETTING THAT YOU CAN ADJUST IN YOUR SETTINGS. THE PLATFORM IS ALREADY DESIGNED TO BE CONSUMABLE ON YOUR PHONE. IT DOESN'T NEED AN APP.

ugh man i'm so sorry for popping off on this very innocent and well-meaning bystander but what did i JUST say

when i say it's a webcomic platform that knows it's a webcomic platform

that's it. no asterisk. that's the POINT OF THE MEME.

it is a website for reading and hosting webcomics. there is no app. and that is why it works.

i realize this might just be a consequence of me being Old™️ compared to the average webcomic consumer / artist, but do y'all know how destructive phone apps have been and still are to webcomic culture? because not only is developing a phone app EXPENSIVE AND TIME-CONSUMING, but it's pretty much impossible to have phone apps now that aren't managed and funnelled through Google and Apple.

that means CENSORSHIP. and CORPORATE INTERFERENCE. and FINANCIAL INVOLVEMENT. which is entirely opposing to WHAT WEBCOMICS ARE.

as soon as indie sites based around free content develop apps, there's a very clear shift in how that site continues to operate, prioritizing corporate standards and profit over usability and community. because otherwise, they can't justify the creation of the app in the first place, and they can't very well maintain that app on account of how expensive it is to do so.

in fact, i can even attest to this from experience! y'know Tapas? the friendly competitor to Webtoons?

this platform used to FUCKING SLAP and then guess what? they released their phone app. and in doing so, they immediately lost the entire fucking plot. their ad revenue program turned to shit, they started prioritizing their advertising and growth towards paywalled comics over the free to read ones, they started restricting the content that was allowed on the platform for the sake of 'brand friendliness' and most of all, they started caring more about what INVESTORS saw rather than what the average user experienced.

and i'm sure that's a heavily biased opinion in which i'm choosing to cast blame on one specific thing instead of all the various things that led to the downfall of this fuckass platform (and i could talk about all those things at length too) but guess what? i don't give a fuck if it IS biased, because i've been there and back and lived to tell the tale and the common denominator in the enshittification of all these major platforms i'm goddamn MEME'ING ON was the phone apps. and most of all, the normalization of corporate involvement which happens the MOMENT you build an app for the Google and/or Apple store.

modern phone apps are NOT about accessibility, they're about money and metrics. that's it.

again, big apologies to the person who left these tags in the reblogs because i know they didn't mean any ill will of it.

but EVERY FUCKING DAY i see y'all complaining that webtoons and tapas are garbage, that they don't let you consume NSFW content without censoring the fuck out of it or removing titles entirely from their platforms, how they progressively tighten paywalls and increase ads to force every last cent out of you, but never ONCE do y'all realize THE CALLS ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.

comicfury doesn't have or need a phone app for the same reason that AO3 doesn't have or need a phone app. to put it simply - because it's pointless, a waste of money and effort, and it would just destroy everything that's great about the thing that i'm trying to promote to you in the first place.

this is what usage freedom and decentralizing actually looks like. this is what has kept comicfury populated and alive. nothing more, nothing less.

It's called the Global Justice Report, it is here. This is an actionable plan which can be sent to legislators and demanded of political parties. We could save the world within our lifetimes.

It has always been possible. It is still possible.

Which grown woman is more adoptable?

Sofia Lee - Dimension 20: The Unsleeping City

Agnes Montague - The Magnus Archives

Remaining time: 1 day 16 hours

She chose herself, she thought her husband cheated on her but he was murdered, she now watches the deer with him

[myosotis-elinora]

AGNESSSSS

She was born into a cult, literally made to be a messiah, raised raised with the sole purpose of bringing upon the end of times, so no happy childhood, lived only to fulfill her purpose and when she knew love for the first time, it caused the little bit of doubt that led to her death

[malignedmare]

it is genuinely so unbelievably annoying to be a child trafficking survivor and have to listen to people argue about shadows on the wall when it comes to children’s rights and child abuse prevention. the only true way to prevent child abuse is to take away parental control. give children rights. give them the education, resources, and rights to say yes or no to whatever and whoever they desire. i know what would have helped me. i’m so mind numbingly sick of all of this. everyone wants to feel like a hero, but nobody wants to help anyone.

[malignedmare]

there is not a pedophile cabal hiding in the shadows waiting to kidnap children. parents are the number one perpetrators of child sexual abuse. my kidnapper was my mother. my traffickers were all paid by her and had legal custody over me. i was forced thru constant manual labor and sexual humiliation in the name of “therapy” because parents are allowed to do whatever they want with the children they own. the end of adult supremacy is the only way to end child abuse.

Always fun being married to a witch.

"We need basil from the store."

"Oh do you want pesto for dinner?"

"No I need to hex someone on discord."

[mothman-etd]

"It was a bay leaf, not basil."

"Like I know these things."

[thebibliosphere]

First of all, it wasn’t someone on Discord. It was multiple people in my DC Dark Legions game.

And second of all, I’m not hexing anyone. I’m telling the fae folk. The bay leaves were just an offering.

[sewickedthread]

Have you tried on a milk & honey soaked bread with a note tucked inside? That usually grabs a fae folk's attention.

[thebibliosphere]

I am allergic to all of those things so I don’t like handling them. But it’s fine. I grew up here. My dad once left me at the fairy mound unattended on accident. They know I’m good for it.

[keltaithecrafty]

Was your dad trying to get a witch child? Because that's how you get a witch child.

[thebibliosphere]

I’ve told this story before, but in his defense, he thought I was riding on the back of my brother’s pram being pushed by my mother.

When he realized I was not on the back of the pram he started to make his way back up the hill only for me to toddle on down on my own entirely fine and unharmed. He looked down at me and said, “well, they either didn’t want you, or they didn’t want you back.” Then told me not to tell my mother 😂

[superdaisypowerhour]

"if i had a time machine i would go back in time and kill hitler"

I would put sea mines around medieval britain. i would give hannibal barca ww2 era heavy artillery and tell him not to stop till he starts seeing gauls. i would give boudica a fucking abrams. i would appear before jesus like an angel and tell him "you gotta stop. not cause theyll kill you, youre fine with that, surprisingly, but because your fanclub is gonna spend about 1500 years making everything worse for everyone, everywhere." I would take a glock back in time and shoot romulus, shoot remus, and shoot that damn dog too just to be safe. i would be on the side of christopher columbus' ship in a scuba suit planting c4 on that bitch like rainbow six siege. i would be waging a one woman campaign of terror across andalusia to prevent the reconquista. i would be getting way out in front of that shit is what im saying,
