Today’s Follower-Recommended Webcomic: The Hazards of Love by @hazardscomic (recommended by @teachimera)! 

A nonbinary teen from Queens who gets dragged into a surreal place called Bright World where humans are classified as “edible” and “inedible.” 

Now they have to figure out a way to get back home while doing their best to avoid dying.

This comic builds an extremely strange and often frightening world that you want to see the sympathetic protagonist escape. Give it a read!

UPLINK asks: So, at the start, it was pretty clear there was tension with Roxy and Sollux, but she was in a relationship with someone else that seemed to be monogamous. Would they have developed into a kismessitude during the story? Or were they previously together? Or something else entirely? Also, another question is how much of The Psiioniic was in that neural helm? I am so curious about that. (If you can't tell, I adore the UPLINK story.)

Thanks! :D

For the first question, I will answer you in detail because that is a plot thread I’m abandoning in the rewrite. Family is kind of a recurring theme in Nuclearstuck, from Dave and Rose’s hard times growing up to that Horrible Thing that happens to Gamzee in bomb-ass pussy. Basically, the idea that Family is Hard but also in the dystopian situation these characters are living in Family is a Privilege (for humans). Trolls are hatched and registered in the districts and raised by nursery staff. Obviously canon trolls don’t raise their own young, but again this is more about separating the kids from the adults to more thoroughly assimilate them.

One way I was going to address this in Upliink, kind of mirroring Gamzee’s disastrous pregnancy in original Nukestuck, was with Roxy getting pregnant. She was planning to marry her baby-daddy to keep up appearances. Her refusal of a drink when she visits Sollux is kind of a nod to that. This would cause issues with Sollux, since he’d put it together waaaay before she ever told him, and stew on it and get pissy and passive-aggressive about it. He’s all fucked up knowing that any lil’ caterpillars he’ll ever have will probably be funneled into the military just like him (toying with a concept of high-powered psionics bein in a breeding program where they get paid if they produce psionics, and then again if their offspring enlist). It would also create some interesting tension between Gamzee and Dave when the fics reconnect, since Dave really wants to be a dad but Gamzee is absolutely not here for raising human wrigglers after what happened to his

But yeah! I decided to abandon that plotline ‘cause i thought it was kind of unnecessary. Also, the original dynamic I wanted to have for Roxy and Sollux was rivalry/antagonism/UST but they’re afraid to act on it because they could get in trouble. After developing these characters more, I prefer them in a kind of touchy, volatile blackrom where they care for each other a lot and understand each other pretty well but can suck at communicating about the stuff that matters and also they’re screwin’ like rabbits.

Wow I typed so much answering the first question that I think I ran out of room! Thanks for your ask! (and congrats on your weddin’!) <3

Everything is NWOD.

"I pitched gravity falls to psychick as the story of two ensorcelled kids, their changeling uncle, and their adventures trying to keep the hedge from spilling out, all while dealing with hedgebeasts and occasionally actors and loyalists."

Because Giffany and Bill Cipher are both True Fae and the line "Remember when you 'defeated' me?" will be used in an upcoming game.

Up for discussion: Gideon Gleeful as loyalist, Waddles as hedgebeast companion.

I always forget how huge your eyes are!

That's why I keep getting things in them, like fingers and blankets and elbows. :(

When I was 3, I fell down and chipped my front tooth (this is also where I got my lip scar). Three years later, got a bubble of infection right above the tooth in my gum from the initial chipping that had taken that long to finally develop. Due to this, the mean nickname I suffered (don't we all have one?) in kindergarten was "Bubble Tooth." (The tooth was pulled and the infection went away soon after.)

Chickenpox. Scabs. Name: Abby. Nickname: guess.

Also since they didn't finish the root canal on the first go, I had a temporary cap put on which has worn away from a spike of remaining enamel leaving me with a DEADLY STABBING WEAPON... way too back in my jaw to use even if I had reason to.
