So I have been doing a little project.

Back in 2017 I published the first Chapter to my Jen and Hancock Series Jen of the Wastes. Back then I used sketch book paper and my shading pencils to create my comic. A year and a half later Eric got me a tablet for Christmas and I started drawing digitally and I haven't looked back sense.

Now that it's been 6 years and I have grown since then I have decided to redo the first 4 chapters in digital form and I'm quite proud of myself for how much I've improved. I can't wait for you all to see it but I've been working hard on it and I just need to shade and add text.

Here is a bit of a preview for what's to come.

Theo performs SO MANY of Wyll's lines with this sort of like...not-quite hushed campfire intimacy that just makes you LISTEN!! It's hard to describe—its almost like he's closer to the mic, which is probably untrue given the rigs I've seen in the behind the scenes shots but still.

There are very SPECIFIC scenes that stand out to me with the other actors that hit the same tickle-spot for my ears: Gale's act 2 confession ("I love this time of night"), Shadowheart's Selûnite Act 3 ending ("I don't deserve to be anyone's daughter) and Astarion's graveyard scene ("Maybe. But he did take it.)

But I hear it from Wyll just in normal camp conversations. Even super early!! The story about the farmer and the devil in ACT ONE is spoken with such carefulness, so is his warning about Mizora coming for him. And like!! It's very cool when you think about it from a mechanical standpoint. He has the highest charisma. He knows how to make you pay attention. It feels intentional, and it's cool to imagine it is even if it's just as likely a very lovely tonal quality in Theo's voice.

I know it's probably not realistic, but I'm begging on my knees. Please let the bg3 cast play more dnd as their characters. They're so fun to watch.

Spirits, where did you get all these pictures of Astarion? (Dialogue from tumblr.)

Here is a little preview of what I've been working on.

I still got a page or two? I'm not sure? It's not a chapter but it's a comic of sorts. Something I've had in my head for years. Got a lot of shading work to do too.

i wasnt old enough to be online during the hunger game’s prime but ‘#teamgale’ ever being a thing is confusing. like if u rly payed attention to the story team gale would never had been an option. there’s nothing even remotely likeable abt that man.

I’ve noticed that Tumblr is the only platform that widely acknowledges the fact that Katniss, Gale, and Haymitch were severely whitewashed in the films. On Twitter I’ve seen people get downright offended at the mention of Katniss being Indigenous, mixed, or simply non-white. I’ve seen people say that people with olive skin can be white and yes that’s true, but Jennifer Lawrence does not have olive skin which still makes her casting inaccurate.

I think this is because Twitter and TikTok focuses on videos, images, and short blurbs of writing - which caters to the movies. It’s the only visual representation of the books outside of fanart. Tumblr allows users to write long think pieces and the books are the primary reference instead of the movies. I’ve only seen the books mentioned outside of Tumblr when talking about Peeta’s characterization and missing lines in the movies. BookTok has also opened discussion of Katniss being non-white but otherwise non-white Katniss is generally not well received outside of Tumblr. Even fanart of Katniss with darker skin isn’t regularly distributed outside of Tumblr.

It’s disheartening but unsurprising. I mean, back when the first movie was released people were outraged that Rue was Black even though it was explicitly referenced multiple times. I just remember being in middle school and obsessed with the books and so excited when the movies were announced, and I was really disappointed with the casting of Katniss because I always imagined her as non-white like myself. Katniss is also supposed to be short and small in stature so that was difficult for me to grasp but I’m glad Jennifer didn’t pressure herself to lose weight for the role (she mentioned this in an interview). I think Jennifer and Woody did great in their roles, and Liam did good with what he was given, but I don’t see them as Katniss, Haymitch and Gale when reading the books or fanfiction. I remember Suzanne saying in an interview that the Katniss she imagines doesn’t exist, but Jennifer is close enough. I’m really curious to know how she imagines Katniss beyond the general descriptors of olive skin, dark hair, and grey eyes.

I’m also genuinely glad that Rachel Zegler is playing Lucy Gray Baird. She has tanner skin, which is great. However, the unfortunate reality is that she’s still “white enough” to be palatable to a white audience.
