"picked up on a blind date with a book thing up at sleepy hollow, and while i can confidently say im excited to read this i can just as confidently say that, having read none of it so far, this is one of the worst art styles ive ever seen. maybe my opinion will change when i read through it, but yeah man this is rough" — Oct 18, 2025 06:45PM

Nate’s Quotes

“It is the last triumph of affection and magnanimity, when a loving heart can respect that suffering silence of its beloved, and allow that lonely liberty in which only some natures can find comfort.”
― Harriet Beecher Stowe, Dred: A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp

“What if one day you meet someone, Arthur, and it feels like it could never be anyone else? Not because other people are less attractive, or drink too much, or have issues in bed, or have to alphabetize every fucking book or organize the dishwasher in some way you just can’t live with. It’s because they aren’t this person.”
― Andrew Sean Greer, Less
