Yo I started reading your su comic a while ago, forgot for a while, and just found it again. And I just wanted to tell you that the way you draw peridot is really, really great. It means a whole lot to me to see a female character looking mostly gender neutral and having short hair. It’s just so great. Like your art is amazing, obvs. But her design specifically speaks to me. You don’t have to reply, just wanted to send some love. Gonna start the story over from page one.❤️

aww! Thats so sweet qvq yea shes deff more on the androgynous side...as is lapis but compared shes deff more feminine on that than peridot rdkerfjr

Hey! I don’t know if you’re accepting tips as well as giving them, but one of the best things I’ve done to wrangle my procrastination is a “bare minimum policy” which is a list of things I have to do daily to keep up with my goals. Mine: read one section of a textbook OR answer five homework questions, do twenty pushups and two minutes plank, read and update my planner/to do list. If nothing else, I’ve started one thing, and accomplished other small things. It helps.

ooh that’s such an excellent tip!! so smart- i’m gonna have to try it next year :D

(also a QUALITY url, love it!)

ask me q’s abt uni!

God this is a mood. My dad hasn’t managed to get off his Hoosier homestead in 52 years, and he’s instilled a very catholic guilt complex in me that comes out any time I spend more than $15

man it really is a midwestern farm-family thing huh?

Shatt- A4 quickly followed by B4. Something like.... they're on some kind of space mission, and maybe Shiro told Matt not to come because it's "dangerous" and Matt is like 'f you takashi i literally fought with the rebels' and sneaks out with them anyways. and it starts with them fighting ridiculously (a4) but then something Scary happens and Matt is immediately ducking behind Shiro because he got startled, and now Shiro will never let him live that down.

“We need a distraction,” Pidge’s voice said.  Her voice was a harsh whisper over the comms.  “They’re getting way too close to me and Hunk.  We’ll get caught before we’re done.”

Shiro took a deep breath, considering.  “Alright.  I’ll start making noise over here.  Lance, I’m going to need your blaster fire.”

Next to Shiro, Matt nudged his side.  “Hold up there, Rambo.  I’ve got an idea that doesn’t involve anyone getting shot at.”

Perking, Shiro looked over at Matt.  “Yeah?  I’m okay with that.  What are you going to do?”

“Not us.  We.  You hold tight, Lance.  Keith too.  I only need Shiro.”

“What are you guys doing?” Keith asked, his brow furrowed and lips pursing.  “Why only Shiro?”

Matt snorted.  “Because neither of you two can lie worth shit.  C’mon, Starshine, hop to.”

Okay, Shiro was officially curious.  

(Read More Below)

He stood and followed Matt as he snuck closer to the bounty hunter’s camp.  They continued to mill around, eating and relaxing, unaware that Pidge and Hunk were just a dozen feet behind them, sabotaging all their tech.

Matt took Shiro’s shoulders, turning him to face him.  Then he put his hands on his hips.  “I can’t believe you did it again!” He called, voice loud and annoyed.

Immediately, the noise from the camp died, startled by Matt’s shouts.  Hidden in the shadows, Keith and Lance shared a confused look.

“Did what?” Shiro asked, honestly baffled.  All he’d done was follow Matt.

“Oh, it’s not what you did do.  It’s what you don’t do!”  Matt’s voice raised dramatically, his nose in the air.  “We go out for the whole night and you don’t listen to a word I say.  It’s all ‘oh, sure, that’s fine’.  ‘Whatever you want’.  ‘Uh-huh.’  You’re not paying any attention at all!”

Shiro’s mouth fell open, even as he started to catch on to Matt’s plan. “I listen.  Coming here was your idea!  You didn’t even tell me what it was about, you just said we were going!”

“I wanted it to be a surprise!” Matt insisted back, eyes narrowed at Shiro’s half-truth. “I expect you to, I don’t know. Catch on.  Have a good time for once.  Have a productive evening.”

“I’d have a much more productive evening if you ever just said what you were thinking,” Shiro shot back, lowering his voice to a growl.  It still cared well in the clearing. “Where even are we?  We’ve been wandering around for ages now and you still haven’t told me anything.”

Matt crossed his arms, skillfully ignoring the bounty hunters as they started to stand up.  “Have you ever considered trusting me, for once?”

“Have you ever tried being trustworthy?”

Gasping, Matt shoved Shiro’s chest, making him stumble back a half-step.  “I’m very trustworthy.”

“You blab every thought the second it comes into your head,” Shrio replied, leaning in closer and using every inch of his extra height to his advantage.

Matt bared his teeth, not intimidated in the least.  “And you’re a brute who thinks he knows everything.  No, don’t worry, I’ll make all the decisions for our lives, and I’ll mope about it forever.”

Even knowing that Matt was just drawing on old frustrations for something to yell about, Shiro still bristled.  “I don’t mope.  You’re the one who can never just say something.  I’m sorry for having an ounce of sincerity once in awhile.  That must be so hard on you.”

Over their comms, Pidge snorted.  “Well, that certainly worked.  They’re about done.  Don’t get killed.”

“You two,” someone called.  “What the hell are you doing here?”

Shiro looked over at the bounty hunter and drew himself up.  In the same moment, he ducked his right hand into his pocket to hide the metallic gleam.  “I don’t know, ask my boyfriend. Maybe he’ll tell you.”

“Maybe he’ll actually listen!” Matt snarled back.  He actually stamped his foot in frustration, then whirled on the hunter.  “None of your business, buddy.  Go bother someone else.”

Oh, boy.

The hunter stepped forward another step.  “You’re the one on our property.  So I do think it’s my business.”

Matt bit his bottom lip and started to pull back.  It was hard to tell if the reaction was honest nerves from having a very murderous looking alien glaring at him, or if it was part of the persona.

Even so, Shiro stepped in front of him.  “No, I don’t think it is,” he told the hunter, his voice lowering dangerously.

“Okay, okay, we’ve got it,” Hunk said, words blending together from the speed he was speaking.  “Please don’t get killed.”

The alien raised his weapon, eyes narrowed.  “You’re about to make yourself my problem.”

“What my boyfriend means is that we’ll be going now,” Matt said, tugging on Shiro’s vest.  “C’mon, hun, we’ll talk about this later.”

Shiro bared his teeth at the alien, but allowed himself to be backed up.  The hunter eyed them both, then shook his head and backed away.  Apparently they weren’t worth it.

More fool them.

Wrapping an arm around Matt’s shoulders, Shiro turned and disappeared into the woods with him.  “Well, alright, that worked.”  He eyed Matt.  “We’re finishing that argument later.”

“Can it end with make-up sex?”

“Eugh!” Pidge cried.  “I’m still on the line.”

“Oops,” Matt said, grinning up at Shiro.  “My bad.”

Rolling his eyes, Shrio bent down to give him a peck.

Mission first.  Then argument.

Then, yeah, maybe make-up sex.

Alright, probably.

Lance has two insta accounts. A meme account and a flawless aesthetic one.

true that. I mean this boy is flawless. I mean look at that FACE. Those eyebrows?? Fleek. But probably some different slang word since it’ set in the future. 

I bet he poses dramatically on the beach with the sun setting in the background and Hunk is the photographer. Like I bet you Hunk is way into it. These boys? Soft. 

Hunk, looking at the photos: DUDE you look so pretty.Lance: thanks, manHunk: I bet you’re the prettiest boy in the whole worldLance: Only if you’re the handsomestHunk: DudeLance: DudeHunk: Duude

There’s a cool German animal psych article from like the 1980s where they wanted to explain sadomasochism by making a bunch of monkeys into masochists and it’s just. The funniest fucking thing. I love old psych what were they THINKING
