Farideh:
New comic.

The 'mom energy' is basically Aurelia's superpower.

Emperor Norton:
I have, I'm fairly certain, some level of on the spectrum behavior in regards to reading tone of voice. I just can't do it for people I don't know really well. Instead over the years, I've trained myself to really pay attention and understand facial expressions and body language. So any time I have to be on the phone with someone I don't know very well, it cranks up my anxiety to max. People I've known for a long time are no problem. My wife, my kids, my parents, my brother, no problem.

The main reason I know it is specifically audio only is that for my work I do video conference meetings all the time and it never bothers me. Cause I can see people's faces. Like, I still get the base level of anxiety I get for anything social, but it isn't anything like being on a phone call.

I think the reason that it doesn't bother me with emails and text is that the playing field is leveled. Like, I can't read their emotion well, but they can't read mine either, so it never feels like as big of a deal.

flondrix:
Pizza is a vegetable!

Tova:
If a voice call  makes them anxious, why on earth aren't they on a video call?  :clairedoge:

shanejayell:
Awww.

I keep thinking most of the characters have met each other, but I guess not these two.
