Sometimes things can be pretty isolating, even in your own community. I wouldn't wish my own suffering upon any other fictionfolk but man, it feels weird when mostly everyone seems to be focused on one thing that doesn't apply to you.
I didn't get as deep into it as I wanted to for this page, but the fictionfolk community at large seems to have a specific way about treating people from lighthearted sources if they also happen to have dark exomemories. It feels like it's always assumed that if you're from children's media or a happy source, you can't possibly have any memories that include suffering! Which isn't true, and I think even though these subjects need to be navigated carefully... Being pushed aside for it or having those feelings kept hush hush doesn't sit right with me. Maybe it's just the places I've been around, but it's a thing I wanted to write about.

'What's Alter-Happening' is a comic strip centered around the alterhuman, plural, and otherkin communities.
Will the contents of this comic apply to every alterhuman ever? No, probably not. But for us, it's meant to be a peek into what daily life for a system full of creatures like us is like! It'll have some informational bits, some funnies, and general whatever-else we want to shove in here. In the end, we're just a group of creatures piloting a meat mech so really, we can only keep a project so coherent.
