Oh hey my comic for Oh Joy Sextoy is up! It was such a treat to work with them and I hope you enjoy my story about an autistic partner communicating with their girlfriend about masking ✨

Read the rest here: www.ohjoysextoy.com/sweet-transp...

Panel 1:
a city scape in early dusk
Text: What a day…

Panel 2:
A redhead character Sage (wearing a smiling mask) looks at their phone and leans against the apartment hallway by a door with stickers, remembering their tough day with coworkers, presenting and loud sounds on the train

Panel 3
The door opens, a spiky head popping out

Panel 4
The spiky head, Lan, smiles brightly
Lan: SAGEY BABE! Thanks for coming over!

Panel 5
The mask falls from Sage’s face who waves back with a subdued smile.
Sage’s thoughts: Cute…

Panel 6
Sage passes by Lan who closes the door
Sage: (monotone) Hey Lan. Did you have a good day?

Panel 7
Lan peers at Sage worriedly.
Lan’s thoughts: No smile…?

Panel 1
A kettle pours hot water into a cup with a tea bag, popping out apple icons

Panel 2
A hand takes a book out from the bookshelf

Panel 3
Sage stands in comfy clothes holding a hot mug and a book, looking subtly pleased

Panel 4
Sage enters the living room and sees Lan playing a video game

Panel 5
Sage sits down to Lan who looks excited to see her partner join her

Panel 6
Sage affectionately leans their shoulder against Lan as they sip and tea and read the book.

Panel 7
Once again, Lan looks terribly worried.

Panel 1
Lan sets her game controller down
Lan: Sage…

Panel 2
Lan looks over at Sage who continues reading.
Lan: …Can I ask something?
Sage: Hm?

Panel 3
Lan looks at Sage anxiously who spits out their tea from what their girlfriend is saying.
Lan: Are you mad at me?
Sage: PPFFT!!

Panel 4
Sage looks guilty as Lan worriedly speaks.
Lan: When you came home, you didn’t smile and your voice was so flat. And earlier, when you sat down, you didn’t say anything!
Sage’s thoughts: Boy, that DOES seem like I’m mad at her!!!

Panel 5
Lan looks down sadly as Sage’s hand shoots out to reassure her.
Lan: Did I eat the last bean burrito…?
Sage: NO, NO, you’re fine, Lan!

One of my earliest memories of LAN parties was playing Duke Nukem 3D deathmatch and accidentally pressing the Windows key and it crashing the entire match. Unsure if I misremembered that.

I'm late, but LANs are amazing

I had a great time at DFF, which was my first LAN ever btw

huge shoutouts to the other DFF Head TOs for carrying the LAN TO load and making things easy for me on the TOing side, I couldn't ask for a better group of people to work with <3
