Part Of Me Being A Weird Kid. Not Only Did I Watch Hammond Spider-Man, At The Time Of The Release Of

robinnygrenart - Robin Nygren Hiltunen

Part of me being a weird kid. Not only did I watch Hammond Spider-Man, at the time of the release of The Dark Knight with Chrisitan Bale and Heath Ledger, I was head over heels for Adam West… When I saw Affleck being an absolute force of nature, I said to myself… he’s cool but he’s not West. Even when I saw Pattinson, my personal favorite (live action) Batman-film, I said… Damn, it was almost as good as West.

Alright, kidding. I don’t remember ever comparing Affleck to West but West was my first love and my only love. My idea, understanding of the character and interest in Batman all grew out of watching Adam West and Burt Ward gliding down poles, running around with bombs and decode the most complicated of riddles, all while still informing the importance of good grammar.

Miss you, West.

a 7-panel comic in pairs of 2 panels each.
panels 1/2:
a small yellow person is happy, expressing themselves in shapes, before being told "you're too loud". they stop in surprise, their color fading slightly, the shapes disappearing.
panels 3/4: the yellow person is a bit taller now. a bit more faded. they are happily expressing themselves in speech bubbles intentionally left blank, before being told "you're being really annoying". the speech bubbles stop abruptly, fading further in color, with tears in their eyes.
panels 5/6: even taller and more faded, now to a greyish orange, they say a single, small text bubble before they are hushed with "haha you're so weird", looking irritated and discouraged.
panel 7: a greyed out person, silent, with a bubble saying "you used to be so outgoing what happened"

the comic is notably fading into white, as if it happened in the past (because it did. this is an old comic and the rest is a sequel. sorry the old comic never had alt text.)
the gray person slowly looks up, gradually regaining color across 3 panels. they look at their hands.
"This is the only way I can exist."
the yellow person is in a box, which they forcibly break with a surprised expression.
"I do not fit. I tried."

"Whether you find 'your people'"
a panel of a set of rainbow people together on one end, a grey person curled up on the other.
"or not,"
a panel of a person gaining yellow color towards their center, eyes closed.
"I can no longer believe it is a crime to exist as one was made."

"Others may find me unpalatable"
The yellow person is talking again. Someone interrupts with "shut up".

The yellow person fades slightly but continues to speak.
"I won't pretend it doesn't still hurt at times.
But I'm done apologizing."
"I exist like this,"
A flower on the left. On the right, a gravestone.
"Or I don't."

"My desire to exist as I am"
A single floating yellow petal.
"matters more than the desires of others for me to be who I am not."
The yellow person is holding a glowing yellow flower. Radiating from it is yellow warmth, diluting the darker orange tones of their body. Or it could be lighting. The effect is ambiguous.
"And if you need that same permission to exist, I'll give it to you."

The author has signed it "prettypinkpansy".

The official sequel to that one post. It got very popular and I thought I would share the "answer" I found to my original "question".

The original comic is about growing up aneurotypical (specifically I have autism and ADHD among other things, e.g. being LGBT) in a world not made for that, and my profound feelings of alienation as a result.

Whether you share those specific problems or not, I am sincerely happy if it resonated with you and humbled that it meant something to so many people.

A popular addition to the post was "you will find your people". I think it is absolutely true that you can and will find people willing to support you and love you for who you are - I have, and their support made much of my growth possible (as well as therapy). I am grateful to the artist that made that addition and think it is important.

But I wanted to make this because to me, it was important to learn the message that you are allowed to exist as yourself, even if you were to never find a single other person who accepts you. You do not need the validation of others. Even if you feel like you were somehow made wrong, or will never fit in with anyone else, you have the right to exist.

Live authentically for yourself, and not for others. Pursue your passions.

It is intentional that the person in the comic never fully regains their color. I will never be the untraumatized child I once was. But that doesn't mean life is not worth living.

I love you, and I hope you try to live as you are.
