Author's Notes:
One of the hardest parts of having a lot of queer characters in a story that's generally not about romantic relationships is portraying how the characters fit in! Belfry's made an oblique reference to being ace before, but hopefully we'll be able to let it come out naturally later in the story. We'll see??
Thanks for drawing this one, IzzySqueakzy!!
Tamberlane Books Now Available!
You can pick up the Arc 1 Omnibus and all 4 remastered softcovers here!!
Now, some notes:
We do not guarantee that the physical books will arrive in time for Christmas.
They will not be shipped until the Kickstarter and Backerkit is finished being fulfilled. We expect that will be mid-December, but as White Squirrel will go on holiday starting December 19th, it might not be until January next year.
Prefer your comics digital? Then the PDF versions of all of the above are for you! You can find those here, but they ALSO come free with purchase of the physical versions!
GPSR and Canada Shipping Complications
Unfortunately, I have some rough news: EU and Northern Ireland residents have until December 19th, 5:00pm PST to place orders in the shop. After that, due to new regulation, we will be unable to sell you fine folks anything (even digital files!) for the foreseeable future. Any order placed before that deadline will be fulfilled, even if it has to be fulfilled early next year. We hope to be able to change this eventually, but for now, we do what we must.
The Canadian Postal strike, meanwhile, means that we will hold any Canadian order that's using USPS or Asendia until the strike is done. UPS, Fed-Ex, and DHL are still active and available shipping options, however!
For more information about this, holiday deadlines, and additional shipping information, please see this post.
New TfT Released!
At long last, the promised Walter/Tess short comic, Just Across the River, drawn by Minty Messerly, is now released! Buy it here!
Patreon Birthday Sale
It's my birthday this month!! Until December 14th, 8:35am PST, all new monthly subscriptions to the Tamberlane Patreon are 15% off!! Just use code EA527 at checkout!
(Yeah, I know the time choice is, uh, weird; I messed up and can't fix it :'D oh well??)
That's everything I have for you today, folks! I am sure there are going to be a dozen hiccups that spring up in the next couple of days, but hey, we do what we can.
🎄 Happy holidays and enjoy! 🎄
Transcript
Luker asks:
Belfry, assuming Silver Sage as a whole even uses these sort of identities, what's your ace experience been like? (:
BELFRY: It's never been a big deal, exactly...
BELFRY: Silver Sage doesn't really put emphasis on labels, because our experiences vary so much.
BELFRY: That said, when I was a teenager, I thought I was abnormal...
BELFRY: Most creatures feel at least a little sexual around those years.
BELFRY: But luckily, this is just a difference kind of normal!
Luker demande :
Belfry, en supposant que Silver Sage dans son ensemble utilise ce genre d'identités, quelle a été votre expérience en tant qu'A.S. ? ( :
Beffroi : Cela n'a jamais été un problème, exactement...
BELFRY : Silver Sage ne met pas vraiment l'accent sur les étiquettes, car nos expériences varient énormément.
BELFRY : Cela dit, quand j'étais adolescente, je pensais que j'étais anormale...
Beffroi : La plupart des créatures se sentent au moins un peu sexuelles à cette époque.
BELFRY : Mais heureusement, ce n’est qu’une autre sorte de normalité !
Luker pergunta:
Belfry, assumindo que Silver Sage como um todo use esse tipo de identidade, como é sua experiência como assexual? (:
BELFRY: Isso nunca foi uma grande coisa, exatamente...
BELFRY: Silver Sage não coloca ênfase em rótulos por que nossas experiências variam tanto.
BELFRY: Dito isso, quando eu era adolescente, eu achava que eu era anormal...
BELFRY: A maioria das criaturas se sentem pelo menos um pouco sexual durante esses anos.
BELFRY: Mas por sorte, isso é só um tipo de normal diferente!
Luker запитує:
Белфрі, якщо припустити, що Сілвер Сейдж загалом навіть використовує подібні ідентичності, яким був твій асексуальний досвід? (:
БЕЛФРІ: Це ніколи не було великою проблемою, точно...
БЕЛФРІ: Сілвер Сейдж насправді не робить акцент на етикетках, тому що наш досвід дуже різний.
БЕЛФРІ: Тим не менш, коли я була підлітком, я вважала себе ненормальною...
БЕЛФРІ: Більшість створінь цього віку почуваються принаймні трохи сексуальними.
БЕЛФРІ: Але, на щастя, це просто інший вид норми!!
