me, a reasonably depressed edo period pilgrim: just do it. fuck me up

“I hope you’re all ready for mouth-watering sweet potatoes!”

“I thought we were going to be killed?”

“Oh no, I said marugoroshi! That’s what I call steamed yams!”

“You call steamed yams marugoroshi?”

“Yes! It’s a, uh, regional dialect.”

“Uh huh. What region?”

“Uhhhhh Sanuki-no-kuni.”

“Really. Well, I’m from Takamatsu and I’ve never heard of anyone call these marugoroshi.”

“Oh, not in Takamatsu, no, it’s a Marugame expression.”

“I see.”

Thinking again about the time my aliens class was discussing conspiracy theories and the professor asked us to call some out and I, thinking simultaneously of both flat earthers and the "moon landing was faked" people, confidently shouted out "FLAT MOON!" and sent the class into hysterics

Who said that

The story has been fact-checked by real Florentine patriots (my boyfriend) and is true, but he says that painting is just a Botticelli portrait of some random guy

I finally (got help) slapping Wordpress into shape and Runaway to the Stars is now releasing as a public webcomic! Thank you so much for your support over the years, and sticking with me while I'm slowly chewing my way through this book. I'm very excited to share this story! It'll be updating every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday thanks to the massive Patreon backlog. Patreon will continue to update as I finish pages, which happens on a sporadic non-schedule.

If you experience bugs with the site report them to me. Some things may occasionally break, as coding problems tend to be a very "whack-a-mole" affair; and I'm still getting used to the interface.

btw RttS is still contracted to a book publisher, I just got permission from them to share the comic online. This is beneficial for two reasons: it's functionally advertising for a printed book when the comic is complete, and also I am quite shallow and primarily motivated by attention so sharing pages makes pages happen faster 👍

people on the left love to point out instances of hypocrisy because its easy and you never actually have to make an argument, but you always leave the door open. i don't know how this keeps happening, like everyone says "hmm isn't it strange that chuds say racial diversity in a fantasy setting is 'unrealistic' but they're fine with dragons and magic" without fucking thinking for even a second. like, that implies that realistic grounded historical fiction is fair game to be all white, right? like you never actually said whether diversity is good or not, you just offered a contradiction that can super fucking easily be remedied and cruised over.

i know im autistic and im focusing too much on the informational value of the words u are saying, i know its another instance of birdsong where ur just signalling an ingroup and wielding power over the outgroup, but please think. take things literally for once in ur life
