Ever since I was a kid, I've made art with kinda intense and dark themes because some kids are just like that, and my parents have pretty much given up trying to expunge this preference. My mom is really excited about space opera, because she's read both the other books, but I just know I'm gonna have to preface the whole thing with 'okay so there's obviously some drug use and language in this one and also a guy gets his esophagus gruesomely torn from his body but we don't have to worry about that rn and she's gonna be like 🙄🙄 ugh fine.

#ya girl #i like it dark mom please forgive me #im actually reading hamletmachines mickey and jessica rn bc its a 'dark lesbian romance' and every page is EXTENSIVELY trigger tagged #so i was like ooh this is gonna be good and so far its been so unbelievably tame #i mean the sex is obviously graphic bc its her but shes been like ok drug use! graphic violence! #and its like... a joint on the table and an offscreen blood splatter #which i suppose technically fits the theme and its good that shes so thoughtful about tags #but the punches!!! you dont gotta pull them!! #in contrast: beautiful darkness the french graphic novel?. #now thats something i can get into!!
