Two from the Liberalverse

Title: Boundaries
Subjects: Jon, "Stephen", liberal!"Stephen"
Disclaimer: This is a work of parody. The characters aren't mine.
Rating: G

A comic. In our universe, Jon is afraid Stephen works too hard to keep people out. In the Liberalverse, he's worried that Stephen lets too many people in. (Mmm, parallel narratives.)




Title: Free Iran
Subjects: Jon, liberal!"Stephen"
Disclaimer: Second verse, same as the first.
Rating: G

Liberal Stephen figures that if Jon really cared about the people of Iran, he would turn his hair green too.



The first one is here on DA; the second one is here.

The background on the second one is making my head spin. o_0 I love it.

(That whole green thing is driving me nuts because I don't see how it's helpful at all.)

[erinptah]

Kaleidescope effects are fun!

(It's partly about spreading the word. Every time someone asks "Hey, what's up with all the green Twitter icons/your green nail polish?", it's a chance to raise awareness. And it's partly about showing solidarity, providing moral support. The more green there is, the higher a chance that message will get through Iran's media blackout. On top of which, some people at ontd_political have reported that green outfits were heartening to friends/colleagues/selves with Iranian heritage.)

Ooh, pretty green background design! And I continue to love the dual-universe conversation.

What Jon says in the second one pretty much sums up my feelings about some of the stuff posted in the ontd_p liveposts. :/

[erinptah]

Thanks =3

What Jon says is actually adapted from some of the other stuff posted in the ontd_p liveposts. (I love how it's always in-character for Jon to be the voice of reason, no matter which side Stephen is on.)

YOU WISH, C!STEPHEN. YOU WISH.

Seriously, though, if it follows that in popular fanon conservative!Stephen is in fact open to a good time with Jon, that would mean that Stephen is inwardly not opposed to Jon getting in his pants.

So then it follows that liberal!Stephen really does want Jon to cut himself off from him because he thinks he's not a good enough person.

C!Stephen's subconscious desire is kind've funny and cute, at least on the surface, but even at surface level l!Stephen's subconscious is just sad. :(

As for the second drawing, I love how even the model on the dye box looks bewildered.

[erinptah]

It's weird how often l!Stephen seems to turn out more depressing than c!Stephen. He's very open about wanting to sleep with Jon, but he also had none of c!Stephen's "of course I'm awesome!" faux-bravado to cheer him up.

Haha, that poor model had no idea what she was getting herself into =P

Ok, sad liberal Stephen? CUTEST. THING. EVER. I want to hug him and give him a cookie.

And yeah, Jon's pretty much always the logical one, huh? Good thing, too, or I can see terrible, terrible things happening. ._.

[erinptah]

Excellent! Because he loves hugs. And also cookies.

It's a tough job, being the Only Sane Man. But Jon has a lot of experience =3

Umm...late comment is late, but OMG L!STEPHEN HAS THE MOST ADORABLE SAD PUPPY EYES EVER *_* I WANT TO FEED HIM ORGANIC CAKE AND PET HIM.

[erinptah]

XD

He would not complain! (Although he doesn't complain in general, so I guess that isn't saying much...)
