Oh my goodness this is short but there is so much here. As an autistic struggler, this definitely got me. A story that gets what its like to have things going on with your brain where emotional regulation and communication and aspects of what is considered “basic functioning” is all taxing and unreliable and that we can often find ourselves in bad situations where we can hurt each other and yet. Love is so important. Love and companionship is so important even when understanding and processing those feelings is an effort, even when you freeze up and go numb and dissociate from having feelings or knowing what to do with them or how to communicate them, especially when difficult living conditions make you not be your best selves.
Love the EGL and how it communicates the way so much meaning can be conveyed through the things that fascinate us and bring us joy. And everything wrapped up in such a charming and expressive art style! And meat fungus!
Very excited to get around to your other works!
