April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberJesus, this comic just gets worse and worse in terms of its mood..
As well written as it is, I'm gonna have to check out of it for now, this relationship abuse thing hits a bit too close to home and is just too intense.

MemberHey I know this is totally fucked and all but I'm absolutely loving this darker, more disturbing ark. Like, this is the stuff I low-key pray for whenever I see a comic with a double-sided title. I can't wait to see what comes next!

MemberI don't think I could handle bearing a resemblance to an abuse victim's abusive father. That's all kinds of awkward... but it could be seen as a chance to give him the love he never had.

MemberJesus, I'm not big on this comic either but, I'm sorry you went through abuse. Seriously.

MemberGetting him help is important, but that doesn't obligate him to stay with him.

MemberI guessed that from the first time I saw how he reacted when ambus "took control" and decided to give him some pleasure.
It's strange, I am feeling proud, yet anxious and stressed over the plot.
I'm loving it so much.

MemberThe abuse I went through was more of the parental variety, however I witnessed my mother and her [thankfully] now ex-SO fighting and screaming a lot, I've learned things via force of habit from it and I've come to the conclusion I simply won't have kids, I've been barely able to break those habits taught by her [punish through force, resorting to physical pain for punishment, yelling & screaming, etc,] not to mention I already have some bad genetics I don't wanna carry down to some other poor soul.
Things are..Better now,despite that, I struggle to go a day without thinking about it all usually because that's..How the first 14-15 years of my life were [18 currently.] I have everything to look forward to, but nothing to look back on. And it sucks as much as it is a blessing.

MemberMan, I just want to hug him in that fifth panel. He looks so lost.
