Another little comic I made, this time a fusion between classic British anthology comic The Beano and the hit video game Bloodborne!

Proud of how this one turned out! The Beano was a big part of my childhood and I spend a lot of time thinking about the kinds of stories that were told in it…

Also if you think this comic is pretty neat, I am in fact available for commissions! Get in touch if interested :)

it is funny though how kids' shows are so so so careful about death, no one's ever killed except MAYYYYBE the big bad, all those random side characters are fine, here have a quick shot of them before we leave just so you know they really did survive that 50-foot drop into a stormy sea,

and meanwhile kids' books nearly all agree that it's not an adventure until it has a body count.

Thoughts on this TikTok?? I agree with what their saying but I do also feel there is a lack of female centred content in this fandom

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS6U3otrs/

the way i knewww what video it was gonna be before opening it

valid points !!! mhm yah. i have a massive yap about this sitting in my drafts that i'm too scared to post but like,,, yeah. there is a lack of female-centered content compared to the men! absolutely, but it's very much a two-way street.

a lot of people who complain about the lack of content do nothing to add to it, and instead put their energy into bashing mlm ships or content. it's very much,,,, if you have the time to make a caurosel post on tiktok about how much you hate jegulus, you had the time to make one about jily headcanons that you like and encourage more. or to go to the comments of a fic that you liked and encourage and compliment the author, or to comment on videos that you do like etc etc etc - boost the content you want to see, don't bash the content you don't want to see.

and it definitely falls into a kind of spiral on tiktok. 100% because a lot of people there are posting for traction so they'll rec or reference the fics that everyone knows so that more people like it. and the algorithm thrives off of hate more than positivity so if you're looking for traction (ew) then it makes "more sense" to be hateful (though i can't imagine you're having much fun in fandom, i.e "whats a [character] headcanon that you hate?" videos rather than asking what people like)

butttt my fyp is always full of female-centric content because i engage with it. there's a lot of accounts centered around them, a lot of cosplayers etc etc. even then! if someone is overly negative about about a ship in my comments i'll toss them recs for another one. or if they're yelling in my comments about the fact i post jegulus, i'll chuck over the @'s of some of my mutuals that focus on jily and it does nothing to quench their anger actually because they're angry for the sake of being angry.

so like,,,, valid points! i think the lack of female-centric content in fandom is something to talk about, absolutely! i literally put together the femininomenon fest for that reason

BUTTTT i think a good proportion of those that bring it up in comment sections etc aren't actually fostering that discussion, if anything they're putting people off of it. if you want to see a change in fandom you need to be the change and not wait for those "above" you to start it (i.e the bit in the video about no big female centric fics - fandom is an individual experience for your own exploration, and if you're waiting for a "big" fic to encourage you to engage with something??? hm). another issue is that people don't search for fics anymore, which ties into that tiktok spiral above, but they wait for them to be recommended to them. which,,, nothing wrong with that! but if you're harping on about not seeing something and then doing nothing to find it? it's not going to come on a silver platter. and by "be he change" i don't mean bang out a 600k fic, nor do i mean by a fandom-wide change, but you can change your lil corner of it. you can search for the content you want to find, you can post your headcanons and ships, post your lil ideas, comment on fics you enjoy, encourageeee people to engage.

i mean the fact you have to search rather than have it handed over/open tiktok to a video? yeah, there's a discussion to be had, absolutely! and people have had this discussion numerous times, but if you're viewing fandom as a big trickle-down thing where you rely on others for what you enjoy, then there hasn't been some big change because very few of those complaining are actually *doing* anything (even just going to ao3 and searching like the good ol' days, just waiting for a viral tiktok to recommend some to them) - the conversation is had, there's a female centric fest once a year, there's female-centric accounts, there's people talking about it constantly but very few can hear them over the sound of themselves yelling in comments.

i hope this has come across okay! i'm not denying a lack of content, absolutely not. but instead of blowing up comments i put together a lil fest, or i open ao3, or i yap to my friends about headcanons etc etc.

because whilst i agree it's a fandom wide discussion, if you're waiting for the wider fandom to catch on, no change will ever happen because fandom isn't run by five people sitting on thrones that tell everyone what to do, it's just a massive group of loser producing what they want to produce or engaging in what they want to engage with.

soooo i think this video isn't intended as a "there's no lack of content!" kind of thing (based on the interactions me n op have had, they're a nice person) but more as a critique on how when people complain and you offer them solutions or a guiding hand to find what they want, they still complain because they don't actually *want* to engage with it, they just want to argue - which ofc isn't everyone! i'm generalising a lot here but that's the people this video is referring to. so yeah. i dont think greta is denying that fact, but i do think they raise v valid points on how it's like yelling into a void sometimes

MINNIE - 65 Years of Minxing! 2018 magazine celebrating 65 years of Beano icon Minnie the Minx. She was created by Leo Baxendale and Georgie Moonie (who was Beano editor from 1938 to 1939 and 1946–1959, d. 2002). Her strip originally appeared in black and white but letters from Moonie to Baxendale show that it was planned she would adopt the red and black colour scheme of Dennis the Menace should the strip be popular enough to move to the colour pages.

Baxendale (1930-2017) worked for The Beano up until 1964. His other main strips for the title were Little Plum, The Bash Street Kids and The Three Bears. His initial replacement on Minnie was Jim Petrie (1932-2014) who, I think, was the longest running artist on the strip and the one I would have been most familiar with.

DC Thomson.
