Part of being lgbt is unlearning toxic beliefs about ourselves, and about other lgbt people. It is something we have to consciously work towards. Realizing that we’re gay or bi doesn’t immediately undo those years of resentment that were conditioned into us, and just because we can’t oppress each other on the axis of sexuality doesn’t mean we aren’t still capable of maintaining hurtful beliefs about each other, which does actually impede our ability to heal.
food gives you the energy to smile. It gives you the energy to hug your friends or pet cats. It’s like sunlight for a plant- you can’t flourish without it. Let yourself grow
Don’t worry, guys. Carl is clearly a brachiosaurus, which lived during the Jurassic period. (And before anyone says our lil’ boy Steve is a velociraptor and therefore puts our comic in the late cretaceous, aka the time of the comet–that lil guy could easily be a compsognathus or a caudipteryx, both Jurassic-era species of small theropod dinosaurs. So the light getting bigger every night is going to pass by harmlessly, and Steve and Carl can go on enjoying the stars together until they die of old age, since Carl has very few natural predators at his size and I bet he’ll protect Steve, if he needs it (though small, fast and carnivorous as Steve is, he probably won’t).
So it’s all good!!
That entire response explaining how these two characters didn’t die a fiery death but instead lived long and happy lives literally made my day.
