And that's a wrap on my official VM art!

I am still so so amazed by all of this.

We have truly come full circle: It was art of Vax that first made me watch CR and now here we are years later, me drawing official Vax?!Thanks for all the intense critter support over the years, folks < 3

cis people will say “I found out I’m having a baby girl at my anatomy scan and I’m experiencing gender disappointment” but be mad when you say “who knows? maybe you’ll end up with a son anyway”

I think theres something really interesting with the opening episode of season 2 of Misfits and Magic. Each of the main four has kind of gotten the lives they always wanted, but not in the way they hoped

-- K finally is the (dark?) Chosen One they always wanted to be. They live in shadows and whispers, they're affecting change and using their spooky online persona to influence the world. But it has come at a terrible price. They're sucked into virtual spaces and pulling away from friends and loved ones, plus it's hell on poor Teddy to boot. K can finally be a crusader but they're ungrounded and care more about The Cause than their own quality of life (or Teddy's life)

-- Sam is famous and beloved. Shes reached new hights of fame and popularity, seemingly without much difficulty. Things just seem to continually work out. But her reliance on her charm is unintentionally causing her to be kind of a menace to those around her. Her PA and producer and Tony Danza bend to her whims, even at their own expense and mental health. Without a check on her charm magic she can prioritize her own happiness without having to consider others. Sam makes it work, why cant they do it too? So people dont get too close because of their stress and her fame. She is a caring and thoughtful person normally but right now is using her gifts in unhealthy ways, which may be to her detriment later

-- Evan finally has stability and a dry bed and some control over his shadow and other demons. He has the predictability hes always craved. But even after overcoming his obstacles he is still very much the same as ever--still alone, still terrified to put down roots, still afraid of his own shadow. Evan did all this work to fix his problems and his life is still kind of the same as it always was. Hes still scraping by on the margins in survival mode. Stability and a quiet life doesnt necessarily mean hes able to build a life where he can thrive

-- Jammer has his community, a team, job prospects, a potential love life. Hes living the basketball dream he was always working toward. But he also can't really be his full self. He had some profound experiences at Gowpenny and cultivated skills, but he doesnt share it or talk about it for fear of becoming an oddity. He's all about connections and the team but he doesnt trust those in his day to day with important aspects of himself--and can you really be part of the team without trust?. He has always been focused on the group but now it may be harming or stunting him in unforseen ways

"i am afraid that i am just all big smiles and nothing inside. i'm afraid that people don't see me as a person, they just see me as smily, chatty sam." "i fear that it is true about myself that i am not easy or good to be around."

just sam calling to check on him and being worried when he keeps things from her. and evans shoe story and his scar thing. and the way that evan wants to belong while sam can easily make friends anywhere she goes but she would never throw him under the bus to do so. and t2 bieng t2. and and and and and

honestly danielle and brennan want to kill me

Brennen's description of Evan's room was so wild, I had to try my hand at it.

[sadwizardjessi]

I don't know if I'll draw every episode but felt compelled with these.

Even though Jammer has always been Evan’s #1 supportive friend, Sam has been and will always be Evan’s #1 concerned friend.

this scene is what solidifies jammer to me as one of my all-time favorite dimension 20 characters. evan having just had a very public meltdown in a way that could've gone very very badly for him if jammer hadn't stepped in to help. evan is such a raw portrayal of trauma and neurodivergence, and jammer is an incredible example of how to help when a friend is struggling. more than that, it's how lou described how jammer saw evan in that moment. evan's magical issues reads very easily as a metaphor for psychosis, and he lashes out and acts "scary". but jammer doesn't see him as scary, he sees him as someone who is in distress and acts accordingly.
