Call me Harper. Actually six furries in a trenchcoat. Jewish, queer, nonbinary trans woman, somewhere north of 30. Occasionally NSFW! They/She/It

Don't think I ever posted this here. Got my Decepticon darling Wheelbug drawn by @seaquestions.

She's supposed to be managing long-distance spying on those weird humans, but now and then a bot needs to sit, sip on an E-Juice, and look out at the stars. Cybertron is an awfully long way away, and it's easy to forget the war, for a moment.

HARLEY AND IVY ARE BOTH PEAK LIFE GOALS AND RELATIONSHIP GOALS :D

THEY DO :D

Janet From H.R, the flustered little stray who Ivy picked up on her travels <3

Harry Riley was a pilot, and a good one. He loved his work, loved knowing that he was helping people get to where they needed to go... but he never learned to help himself.

Never asked for help or for a break, always took on everything he could and tried to fill the nagging hole in his heart with pride in his wings.

He ignored his own needs to the point where he wasn't sleeping, keeping himself going with coffee and caffeine pills - and when they failed him, when he dozed off at the controls during landing, it was only his copilot's quick thinking that kept them and their passengers from a fatal crash.

Harry lost his wings and walked into a bar, and into a bottle; he didn't plan to ever walk out. The Krampus had other plans.

He never used his words to ask for help, so they were taken, replaced with mechanical chirps and music-box birdsong; he let himself run down, so now, handless, he'll need the help of others to keep himself wound up at all. She ignored the pain in her soul, the missing piece she refused to acknowlege - and the Krampus knew just what to do about that.

Nowadays, Harmony can be found perched here or there around Toyland, wherever a bit of birdsong can help lift someone's burdens.

Why, yes, webcomic artist with he/him pronouns who avoids public appearances and has spent the last decade and change conducting their entire social media presence almost exclusively in character as their own comic's cute anime girl protagonist, I would like to hear your thoughts about gender.

For some reason, the trans masc version of this scenario tends to involve webcomics with lots of body horror.

Can't remember any other examples, but I do remember there were several other webcomics I read that had the author come out in the 2010s.

I mean, gender dysphoria is some real-life body horror in my book, so I'm surprised more transfem fiction doesn't go harder into it!

I mean, there IS a fair bit of transfem body horror, but I'm not aware of any webcomics specifically that leaned into it

I’m sure you’ll all be happy to hear that Hideo Kojima is living his best life after leaving Konami. Not only did he get to frolic around with Mads Mikkelsen, he also got himself a sub. You think I jest but...

Translation: Refn is a kinkster who use his movies to express his kinks. He knows Kojima is a kinkster too who also puts his kinks in his games and that he’s going to use Refn for something that turns Kojima on, and Refn thinks that’s hot. Their’s is a relationship you probably shouldn’t dig too much into.

+ Bonus: confused and scared Kojima fanboys

I don’t know why this post is suddenly getting so much activity again, but I’ll use it as an excuse to tell you all that Hideo Kojima calls this grown ass man who’s a head taller than him Refn-chan

Japanese artists are almost always a lot more chill than their art makes them out to be. Kojima is one of the few who’s exactly what you’d expect him to be.

It gets even better people!

Refn has described his and Kojima’s relationship as very intimate and highly erotic but not sexual (meaning they do something but they don’t fuck) and if you cross reference their interviews and the stuff they make each other do in their works it becomes abundantly clear that they’ve had long, in-depth conversations about their kinks and fetishes.

But they don’t speak the same language.

Refn can’t understand Japanese and Kojima’s English is very limited, so for all their conversations they need a translator.

Enter Saito.

Saito has been Kojima’s translator for years and years and Refn has joked that their arrangement is really a threesome because Saito has to translate every loving and dirty word between them, and Saito looks like the most resigned man in the universe.

He looked like this way before Refn even entered the picture. Nothing can shock this man anymore.

You can actually see Saito in action as “the third guy” here (gif by fanhanlon)

While Kojima and Refn are hugging you can see Kojima tell Saito to whisper something to Refn.

Not gonna lie, even I was surprised by how close Saito has to get sometimes. I think I understand the look on his face a little bit better...

This suddenly got a lot of new reblogs and likes. Is it because these two are at it again?

Something that’s super sweet btw is that Saito isn’t always around so Kojima and Refn have learned to just be comfortable in each other’s company without talking. Refn especially has talked at length about how amazed he is at having that sort of relationship with anyone where they can just chill in silence at a restaurant without it being weird.

Also, for some reason Kojima keeps giving Refn medication? Kojima has posted a fair few photos of Refn holding Japanese over the counter medication and Refn holding up pills and swallowing them as if to prove that he’s taking them? But hey, whatever works for them I suppose?

Mind you, at the line, “Kojima has a sub,” I would also have been unsurprised to find that he has his own submarine and spends his spare time just tooling around and occasionally popping up to freak out fishermen at the docks.

I wish I still had the clip but after an interview where everyone are walking around on stage and most of the microphones are turned off Kojima says something to Refn, Saito opens his mouth, close it, looks back at Kojima, sighs, turns to Refn and says “I can’t translate that right now” and Refn gets this curious look of “Oh?” on his face but Saito holds his hand up like “I mean it, not on fucking stage”

Why do they have such perfect comedic timing? This is way better than if Saito had just assumed his microphone was turned off and said whatever inappropriate thing Kojima was trying to tell Refn. I hope Saito is paid well because he isn’t just a translator, he’s trying so hard to save what little modesty these guys have left.

i'm reading wayfarers 2 rn, and i can't stop thinking about Owl and the Mothers from the factory Pepper grew up in as allegories for wire mother and cloth mother

the Mothers gave her somewhere warm and safe to sleep, they gave her medicine and food and clothes and as long as she followed their rules she was relatively safe. but they were also cold and impersonal and ruthless. the second she stepped a toe out of line they would have killed her

meanwhile Owl has some leftover rations and water from her previous crew, but not much. she doesn't have a physical body she can use to interact with the world, she can't protect pepper or treat her wounds. but she gives pepper encouragement and kindness and understanding. she teaches pepper about the universe and helps her help herself. owl can't protect pepper from the wolves and she can't get pepper off the planet, but she can give pepper the tools and the support to do it herself.

it's not a 1:1 comparison, but it's close enough that it makes me go feral. i love becky chambers
