faramir describing éowyn’s suicidal unrequited love of aragorn as “as a great captain may to a young soldier, he seemed to you admirable” is truly the all timer example of het where you’re not sure if that comment was a little gay of him or a little trans of her or both
Missed an appointment today because I forgot about it trying to sleep long enough for a separate appointment I was supposed to have tomorrow that got cancelled last minute.
I'm trying to get employment and so far the people working here haven't done shit. So I again would really appreciate the help

Re-sharing a link to my free comic, Mutineers.
Wallace, the guy on the left, is a formerly incarcerated trans man and talks about his experience in the comic.
I support prison abolition. this is fiction, but I hope it helps people see the incarcerated as humans
Blankets is interesting in how it's about being in love with a girl (and in a very relatively chaste way, compared to other narratives) and how that love is still feels dangerous and forbidden due to the restrictiveness of Christian heterosexuality
I wonder if that ties into how some cartoonist guys really like to overemphasize their heterosexuality and connection to manliness etc
Lrp blankets is hetero but one of the things I think about re cartoonist autobios is like how narratively, being a cartoonist and being gay seem to overlap for certain guys in the way they remember being treated by other guys. Drawing funny pictures is deviant in the eyes of Christian USA I guess

A delightfully rambling interview with the author of Blankets about, amongst other things, his new book Ginseng Roots.
Looking at some of my faves to try and get some inspo on how to panel and also keep a simple style.
Updates. Been busy these past few weeks so stuff has NOT been happening 💀💀💀 I also want to revise some earlier pages. I did buy some new pens to test out bc I want to try and find a medium between my nibs and micron.

RIDE HOME IS ONE OF THE WINNERS OF THE TOXIC YURI VN JAM!!!!!!!
Season of love, season of change
I feel an appeal of what I've read is the kind of hm....like it can't be too obvious visually, the appeal of prose is that it describes what isn't visually shown and the appeal of images is expressing what's not with visuals. I feel balancing the two is tough ...
Idk if I'll return to trying to do vn stuff bc I got my ass thoroughly kicked by scary technology stuff and became a traditional artist again, but I enjoy the works that have that mixed media feel...
Now that I have a new computer I wanna read more of the toxic Yuri jam entries from last year. I liked the One I read but the Winner was one I was intrigued by as well
Also personally IDK if I roll with the theory that mean girls specifically seek out nursing because they can have control over people...I just think nursing and healthcare jobs are extremely common for women overall esp women with children
preposterous incredible newish resource for anglosphere enthusiasts of soviet cartoons www.animatsiya.net
artistic nudity is when the art was made by someone who's already dead while porn is when the artist is still alive
If one is planning on trying to reach a wider global audience and is formatting accordingly, I do think that's super neat. I wonder if other countries and their comics and zine cultures cultivate something similar and specific in formats and associations....
Like right to left panels and formatting for sizes that aren't available in ur region. Maybe I'm just zine brained where my mentality is working with what is most readily available even if it's limited.....
I get people wanting to make their comics or doujins as manga-like as possible, and I think there's usefulness to it if ur planning on translating/selling to an Asian audience...but if ur audience is primarily going to be the anglosphere I feel some of the trappings feel unnecessary 2 me...
