#at least if you like bisexual disasters on wings or fiesty tiny lesbians who make things to show love you might enjoy it!

Every time someone asks for queer comics in the vein of OP I want to hold up a sign and yell I'M HERE. I'M RIGHT HERE. I'M RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. I'VE BEEN HERE THE WHOLE TIME.

I make a comic called White Noise, and I've been making it since 2011. All the characters are queer. There's lots of monsters and trauma and people taking care of each other despite great hardship and places where I try to manifest the feeling of getting that first deep and steadying breath after you've been crying your eyes out for a few hours. Here are some pages I like from the last five-ish chapters.

I'm just getting to the end of the first arc--12 chapters plus an epilogue, about 500 pages, all for you to read for free on its own website. The art in the beginning starts a little rough and gets better as time goes on, because this is my passion project that I've been using to teach myself how to draw.

The story follows siblings Hawk and Liya, who get separated by civil unrest. Hawk goes on a journey across a world in uproar to find Liya, not even sure she's still alive; Liya tries to adapt to her new home on another plane, while being very sure that Hawk is dead.

I work really hard on it, and if this sounds like something you might be interested in, please give it a shot: White Noise

actually im just gonna make my own post about it: please read more webcomics. please try them. every time people make posts about “aw man i wish SOMEone would WRITE about FLAVOR OF QUEER THING/TRAUMA OR ABUSE BUT IN SPECIFIC WAYS I CAN RELATE TO/WHATEVER” and then it gets reblogged into a giant thread of people agreeing with it and demanding Content i die because whatever it is is definitely being painstakingly created by an indie author who would really like for people to consume it and every time i point this out people suddenly can’t read lmao

it is out there it is free it is being made from firsthand experiences by people who care very very deeply who would be DELIGHTED to hear that it’s resonating with anybody at all, please throw some of that enthusiasm and support at people who will actually appreciate it

if you’re an indie comic person and any of this applies to you i encourage you to reblog this with a link to your comic and a short synopsis so people can browse the notes and find shit they’re looking for. or make your own post on your own blog if you don’t want to fool with other people i don’t care this is a sign from the universe that you should be louder about what you’re working on because people can’t fucking find it apparently.

i’ll go first i make kidd commander and it’s about an ensemble cast of queers on their way to kill god, they live on an airship and they’re all too pissed off to die. it’s free to read and it’s in the middle of its third arc right now. it lives here http://kiddcommander.com/
