hey i just saw a tiktok video with the horrors comic and i couldn't find any credit (also the comments were turned off ://) and i thought maybe you should know (here's the link to it: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGexd54Qx/ )
Ah, thank you anon! I'm not particularly surprised unfortunately, not the first time it's happened with that comic — sadly I don't think there's much I can do about it, especially since I don't have a tiktok myself. But thank you for letting me know! I do like to know whenever that happens, even if I can't do anything to get the videos taken down. At the very least, it's a reminder that I should really start putting some sort of signature on my comics 😅
...Also, in this particular case the video you linked actually made me laugh when I looked at it, because!! Quick storytime: the last time someone messaged me to let me know that a tiktoker had reposted the horrors comic, I went and looked at it and noticed that the reposter had put two of the comic pages in the wrong order. Somehow NO ONE in the comments had mentioned the fact that the order of events didn't flow right, it was hilarious.
Why is this relevant? Well, because this tiktok you've linked me to has the SAME EXACT MISTAKE, which indicates to me that this new person didn't even steal it from me directly, they stole it from the OTHER REPOSTER and also didn't notice the mistake in page order! The reposters are cannibalizing each other! I am both very entertained and utterly baffled by the lack of effort! They're not even stealing things well!
Anyway, all this to say: I have managed to find the humor in this kind of situation, but I still do not appreciate people reposting my stuff, especially without credit. And general PSA that if you see my comics/artwork anywhere that is not here on my tumblr, or on my AO3 account forest_raccoon, that is not posted by me, and it has been done without my permission.
was just rewatching Jack Saint and Patricia Taxxon's video on Mauler (it's called "Long Critique Is Not Deep Critique" and it's like actually so fucking good) and was so taken aback by hearing Twin Peaks music in there now that i've actually seen Twin Peaks lmao, that Laura Palmer theme is so fucking good, Angelo Badlamenti is just truly on another level, i already wanna rewatch the show now (S02 is good, y'all are just cowards).
the way the most recent pokemon games don't let you turn off the exp share or the affection mechanic bonuses is nothing short of maddening. i think they make great accessibility features If Only They Were Optional and the flavour text is cute, but i want to have a fun casual playthrough that's at least mildly challenging without having to make it a nuzlocke or something. i don't want to feed my starter bitter medicines to make her hate me :(
Skin tones! I will have pale, light, med, tan, brown, and dark skin tones available. But you can commission me at no extra charge for exact colors if you don’t see a match.
Pale, light, and tan are available in my shop right now. The darker tones will be available in my next drop as well as mixed color sets.
WHAT'S CHILDHOOD LIKE? IT'S A LITTLE LIKE DYING, A LITTLE LIKE BEING BORN. WHICH IS TO SAY, IT'S NOTHING YOU CAN REMEMBER, BUT YOU KNOW THERE WAS BLOOD.
was completely mystified for days by my cousins being like “let’s watch a movie!” and then BOTH OF THEM proceeding to stare at their phones throughout the entire film, glancing at the screen only whenever the dialogue or a musical cue implied that something Important was happening, only to realize that the issue is that modern films don’t rely on nearly as many purely visual elements as older films did, so my poor cousins missed over 50% of the jokes because i didn’t think to warn them that, when watching films directed by people who got their start before films had dialogue, you actually need to WATCH them to understand what is happening.
"Hey, angel?" Kim asks as he steps further into their apartment, standing beside something on the floor that definitely wasn't there when he left. "Why is our mattress in the middle of the living room floor?"
Porchay pops out of the kitchen with a bowl of popcorn and a smile on his face.
"You're home!" Porchay says excitedly. Porchay comes up to Kim, presses a kiss on his cheek, and then proceeds to flop down onto the mattress. Porchay then looks up at Kim. “Well, are you going to join me or just stand there?”
Kim looks at the beautiful and heart-warming smile on his boyfriend’s face and shakes his head a little bit but joins him on the floor mattress anyway.
Porchay giggles and wraps his arms around Kim’s neck and proceeds to press kisses all over his face.
“Okay, okay,” Kim laughs, grabbing Porchay’s face in order to stop the assault of kisses. “Why did you bring our mattress out here?”
“Oh, Hia and I used to have movie marathons in the living room when we were younger. We would drag his mattress from his room into the living room before we got the pullout couch,” Porchay explains. He grabs one of Kim’s hands that is still on his face and twines their fingers together. “I thought it could be fun to do this with you?”
Porchay starts to look a little shy at the end of the explanation and his boyfriend’s expression has his heart skipping a beat. It’s been months since they started dating again; Porchay has grown less shy about asking Kim for things and less unsure about surprises for him. So Kim is pleasantly surprised that his brave and headstrong boyfriend can still feel shy around him. Kim loves turning Chay into a stuttering, blushing mess.
Kim presses a kiss to Porchay’s nose.
“I love it,” Kim says. He looks down at the bowl of popcorn in between them and grabs a piece and pops it into his mouth. “So, what are we watching?”
“I was thinking of some horror movies? Since it’s spooky season,” Porchay says.
Too bad RTD's entire filmography is crazy biphobic. Man don't give a fck about bi representation.
while i have only actually watched doctor who and casanova and this video essay i feel kind of pretty safe dying on the hill that he does care a lot about queer rep (bi rep included) he's just, like.. unhinged about it. refuses to make it palatable. i think it's fair to say that the rep he makes doesn't resonate with every bi person or can perpetuate biphobic stereotypes but i think it's also fair to say that he did a lot for pioneering it in the first place. i never watched torchwood but if every main character's kissing a guy and a girl on screen there then like, i do think this is something that matters to him
