Cover of my comic Electro Magnetic Bottle Rocket. The main characters are standing atop a pile of junk with forests and mountains behind them. A bottle rocket flies over them.

Page 1 of my comic. Panel 1: Scenery of space. Someone asks, "Hey Delta, scanning the usual today?" Panel 2: The space scenery continues and there is a spaceship in the middle of the panel. Panel 3: Closeup on Delta opening cup noodles who answers, "Yeah." and her coworker replies, "Cool. It's been quiet for me too." Panel 4: Delta pulls apart her chopsticks while her coworker looks at her says, "I wonder if it's going to be another slow day, Achernar." Panel 5: Achernar takes a sip on a drink and answers, "Weeell, it is a big galaxy. Who knows what this day has in store for us." Panel 6: Closeup on Delta's noodles while she ponders, "I suppose. It would be nice to have some excitement or something to stir things up, though." Panel 7: Delta's glasses fogs up and she reacts, "Shoot, glasses fog." Achernar notices something and exclaims, "Oh!" Panel 8: There is a screen behind Delta as she slurps her noodles. Achernar off panel points out, "Haha check it out. There's someone on your camera." Delta looks towards him and replies, "Mm?" Panel 9: Delta looks towards her screen and asks, "I wonder what they're up to." Panel 10: She presses on the controls and says, "Let's get a closer look."

Page 2 of my comic. Panels 1 to 3: A camera flies down into a junk yard surrounded by forests and mountains. There is a woman pulling on a piece of junk. She is talking to herself saying, "OOF. Oh! This piece is good! It's really lodged in there, though." Panel 4: The camera scans the woman. She continues to talk to herself, "Come on..." Panel 5: Closeup of the woman moving the junk grunting, "Hup!" Delta's camera is behind her.

Page 3 of my comic. Panel 1: Achernar's got his hand on Delta's shoulder as they're looking on the screen saying, "Those are some neat readings you got there." Delta replies, "Yeah..." Panel 2: Delta leans back on her seat questioning, "Didn't think I'd find odd readings here... But what's this person's deal with those scraps?" Panel 3: Closeup of Delta as she reacts to the screen going, "Hm?" Panel 4: Close up of the woman looking up. Panel 5: The woman tosses the junk towards the camera hitting it. Panel 6: She leaps towards the camera shooting electricity out of her. Panel 6: She grabs the camera in her hands.

Continue loving your friends. Love your community. Stand up for the marginalized. Support and help each other. Stronger together is a saying for a reason.

With what's going on with Subscribestar, it's a good moment to remind you all of something:

Free speech also includes speech you don't agree with, and freedom of artistic expression also includes art you find horrible or disgusting.

And if you go: "Yeah I agree! However-"

Then you don't agree!

Art of the perverse, taboo and disgusting is resistance against fascism. You don't get to "EXCePT 'X' ART" any of it. The goalpost is closer than you think it is

Repost with more clarity: How much English does Yuji Horii (and also Ishiyama) speak? Because if they think the way we say "I" is the only way we describe someone's character and personality while we speak, then they don't know very much. We have... other words that we also use while speaking.

it's "funny" that this article is going to be used by the most annoying people in the world as proof that human translators go too far and should all be replaced by AI when the complaint is specifically about word-for-word translations that don't go far enough

but also like, how can you be involved with dragon quest and also be completely ignorant of the fact that the english localization of dragon quest games already go above and beyond in this regard

Hidebu Takahashi!? For real? I love her work! Damn, I wish I could have seen that artwork, it sounds great! ๐Ÿ˜ญ

On a semi-different note, Iโ€˜d love to see her write a sci-fi BL manga one day. I feel like she would make something really wonderful.

True! Guin *thinks* heโ€™s being honest about his goals, and to an extent he always is in that he wants to lead the next industrial revolution and will do whatever it takes to make that happen, but he is also constantly manipulating others and withholding the whole truth.

In retrospect, Guinโ€™s line about Loran could apply to himself too. ๐Ÿค”

I love this episode, and Loran using the Turn A to help people in non-violent ways.

I've developed a rule for reading and writing #romance and #romantasy: the "hot people make bad romance" rule. If your romance wouldn't happen if the characters weren't physically attractive, I'm bored. The *dynamic* needs to be sexy, not the bodies.
