hm that actually tells me Nothing thanks

There are minis in the shop now, if you want those!

I’m workin hard on the next chapter, we’re not taking the usual two week break but we’re also moving to another apartment a month earlier than we’d anticipated, so gimme just a minute here haha.

I have something else to say! Seeing as I have a bit of a platform here. Today I had a therapy session I booked about a week ago, and it turns out I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and a few other things going on. I’m still learning, so I don’t have anything real to say about it yet, but I do know that I find encouragement seeing people with the same Weirdness as me out there making things. I make it a point to be loud about being A Queer/A Lady Making Comics and I’ve never really had a problem oversharing (seeing as this comic is basically just my dirty laundry with a cartoon filter slapped on), so, there’s that added too I guess.

I’ve known shit was bad for a long time, but I let people talk me out of seeking help for basically my whole life. Fortunately it’s not looking like any of it is, like, insurmountable, but a lot of things could have been curbed earlier and made easier if I’d spoken up a bit more when I knew something was wrong. Not even having a name for it for almost 19 years was fucking awful, today has been an enormous relief. What I’m saying is if you think you need help then I encourage you to take steps to get it regardless of what folks think. You’re the only one who knows what’s going on in your head, and until such time as medical science evolves beyond it you do have to live there, so make an effort to keep a good house, whatever that looks like for you.

Monochrome

Well, I guess that explains how a city leader and cyber technician (at the minimum) can appear like a hip early 20s person. I wonder how much of the behavior we have seen was them “acting” like what they thought they should relative to their appearance (actin like them hip youngsters all fullah energy).

I was wondering whether we’d find this, Monty as a sentient plant, or Monty as a computer. Next question is, just how old IS he?
(No, I have no idea what Discus has done to my name)

    Rood, you shouldn’t discriminate against Agatha for being a bot. Only for the collateral damage that piles up. X3

Thank you for telling us! We are always encouraged to hide anything that might be goin on with us, and it means a lot to hear someone else say “it’s okay, go ask for help”. *hugs*

  I hope so! I figure if I’ve got something of an audience I may as well try and help where I can.

On the topic of finding encouragement in other people having the same weirdness doing things, I know youtuber Cr1TiKaL has OCD, and hes talked about it here, if that kind of thing helps 😀 he curses a lot just a warning
EDIT: oh jeeze whys it got a huge preview im so sorry i cant make nit go away

  Oh cool! I haven’t sat down to watch any cr1tikal stuff but everything I’ve seen makes him seem like a chill guy, this was a good little video thanks for sharing 😀

First: I appreciate your transparency. I really do. Not common to see that anymore, so thank you for being open with us.

Second: this whole page is just incredible. The art, the design of the contraptions, the build-up to the reveal (even though it was HEAVILY hinted at). It all just works so well and was so satisfying.

Third: Hello Mr. House. :3

  Ye! I’m not good at pretending otherwise so I always figure it’s better to lean the other way and just be honest with folks. Putting such an earnest comic online already feels so vulnerable it seems silly not to be haha.
  
  Thank you!! I’m really excited for the next chapter.
