Happy RicStar Week!! Day One: X-Force Era

just thinking about some boys hanging out in Camp Verde (check out @ricstarweek2024 for more festivities)

[kermit-coded]

thinking about julio richter. he's mexican. he's been suicidal since his first appearance back in the 80s. he's powerful enough to level california. he threatened to split the earth in half because the guy he was in love with was in trouble. he owns a punk bar. he was one half of marvel's first on-panel same-sex kiss. he's never been in a pride special. he's depressed. he's a little bit of a bitch. he's a hater. he's a character defined by his compassion. he's in love with an alien gladiator from space. he lived with some of the x-men as a teenager. he called his power "vibes". he's a druid. he didn't wear a shirt for a good portion of his early appearances. he's mother nature's special little boy. he's in his twenties. he refuses to go to therapy. he's even gay.

ROUND 1: POLL #20

ROUND 1 POLLS [HERE]

PROPAGANDA BELOW

Dave Strider/Karkat Vantas:

Karkat is Alien Jesus, and Dave is a repressed bisexual with a sword. they watch rom-coms together. Their combined childhood trauma would bring licensed therapists so far past the breaking point that the breaking point recedes and becomes just a distant happy memory. neither of them has ever been capable of shutting the fuck up. Look, sometimes you get stuck on a meteor for three years with a guy you barely know and at the end of it you would do anything for each other. their blood is the same color.

Julio Esteban "Ric" Richter/Shatterstar:

Have a lot of subtext in the 90s

Marvel's first romantic kiss between male superheroes (as I remember correctly)

[SPOILER]

[SPOILER]

They're a battle duo :]

[ssun-showerss]

Was thinking about superhero outfit logistics. Huh????

[do-you-ship-this-comic-ship]

propaganda:

Because they help each other learn and grow! Because they have the most wonderful journey from friends to boyfriends to lovers, one of the greatest relationship success stories told through the collaborative journey of Big Two comics. Because they're the ultimate Battle Couple!

Super iconic ship in queer comics history, plus Rob Liefeld was mad about it and that's always a plus

RicStar Week Day 5: AU and Music/Movies

I've been playing a lot of ddr recently and I just think Shatterstar would be SO good at it

[kermit-coded]

funniest possible concept for me is rictor calling shatterstar dude in such an extremely lovesick affectionate way that star assumes that it's a pet name. and then someone else calls him dude and he's like. i don't know you like that. only julio may call me dude.

Last days i did of @ricstarweek2024, hurt/comfort theme for the first one and family/friends for the second :)

@ricstarweek2024 Day 3: Mexico Road Trip

A comforting presence

This was meant to be a 9 page comic but ended up reconsidering things once I didn’t finish the pages on time, I’d like to go back to it and rework it and release it eventually, it was about the growing comfort in physical contact now that they were alone together and the fact I think this is the period of time when their romantic relationship first ever began :’) anyway shout out to my friend That80sCat on twitter for doing a good deal of the flats for this while I was busy finishing some of the other drawings

i may be posting this a bit too late for this trend
