At the start of this project all I wanted was to 'learn how to draw' using comics as a medium and the MDZS audio drama as inspiration.

I've come *very* far from making simple, 3 panel black and white comics, and I truly do intend to go even further. Thank you to everyone who cheered me on throughout 2023, it has been an incredible year in so many ways I never could have imagined. I look forwards to drawing throughout 2024 B*)

it's super nerve wracking being the first trans person in a space and just being so visibly and loudly. but like, you're never the only one. and having seen all the people who were already in the space decide to come out because it's now something they realize it safe to do, and also watch it pull in more queer people because the space is now explicitly welcoming is one of those things that's just made it all worth it. the garden will grow if you plant the seeds and tend to it.

Painted over some pictures of Zelda and Link to make them look closer to how they look in my style, while still trying to keep most of the style of the game.

Something I'm sad didn't make it into the Nimona film was more about Ballister's arm like, the comic had a whole thing about the Institute not having use for a one-armed hero, and that being part of why they began framing him as the villain

[ludinusdaleth]

the moment where orym/liam says that the gods created life, only to be corrected and having to ask what he as orym was taught, was one of my favorite scenes that hammers home the theme of c3: history is taught by the victors. and we must unlearn it to make our world kind.

others have written about it in far more depth, how the gods, "refugees become conquerers", are colonialists, and a key part of that idealogy is the idea that you the colonizer are the first creator of peace & order to the wild. orym (& liam abovegame!) thoroughly believe at first that the gods - in this case melora - created Life. but when pressed by someone of an origin more native to a land than you, you Think about it. and it occurs to you.... you've met many folk who knew of life despite the "chaos" you were taught solely existed before your progenitors came. a life that did not need your intervention and will survive after you are gone. watching liam & orym in dualstep realize that and matt emphasizing there was probably "beauty" as orym sees it before his time, matt saying the gods "historically tamed" exandria in heavy quotation marks tells you all you need to know. you only know the history you were taught, and may gloss over the parts of it that became contradictory or uncomfortable (after all, orym walked away from and dismissed abbadina's religious belief). the world was beautiful long before your leaders "fixed" it and you believed that fixing was all that ever was.

god, i loved that scene.

Can’t stop thinking about this….

[introverting-rn]

hey hey guys heyo

if you haven’t listened to g&s’ the Pirates of Penzance you NEED to it’s genuinely one of the funniest musicals in the world it’s just batshit insane. it reads like a crackfic and i desperately crave aus set in this world because g u y s

the pirates are so chivalrous that they never invade small ships, only ones bigger and better than them. they’re all orphans and when they manage to capture people everyone claims they’re also an orphan so the pirates let them go. the main character frederic works with the pirates because his nursemaid has bad hearing and was ordered to apprentice him to a pilot. frederic jumps out of his hiding place to tell these beautiful girls he was watching their conversation because they were about to take off their stockings how sCA nd aLoU s. frederic sings a whole dramatic betrayal ballad w his forty-year-old nursemaid because she told him she was beautiful so he’d marry her but he thinks she’s hella ugly. this kicks off her villain arc. he asks a whole, entirely unrelated group of ladies if they’re rly ugly and nobody wants to date them, they say no, so he goes ‘😬 u sure?’ twice in a row. THE very model of a modern major general sings his song upon entry, only afterwards asking what’s going on, implying that he sings it every time he sees people. the song is about how good he is at being a general but all he brags about are skills that are entirely irrelevant, eg, integral and differential calculus. frederic plans to exterminate the pirates because he’s turned 21 and left his indenture (they are very respectful about this) but realises he’s apprenticed to them until his 21st birthday and he was born on the 29th of february. there’s these policemen who are just absolute cowards and hide the moment the pirates arrive, then the pirates hear the general arriving and also hide - picture a pirate and a policeman standing obviously behind poles and completely failing to see each other. the policemen echo the ends of lyrics even if it makes no sense, eg “pied in crime” “culty smother”. the pirates sing a song about how stealthy they are, which could be interpreted as just how musicals are, but i’d like to think they’re belting the whole thing. the entire plot is resolved by the sergeant bidding the pirates to yield in Queen Victoria’s name, to which they immediately yield and become noblemen again. oh also it’s a full opera

Honestly a big reason for why I don’t get over shit as quickly as I can is because I can’t fucking stop talking about it. And by that I mean I’ll quietly resolve w myself that I’m over something or something, and then in my typical indecisive nature I’ll either ruminate on it hours later or vent about it w a friend. I hadn’t realized how powerful just TALKING about something bothering you was until now. Even if you’re close to getting over something, just verbalizing that it bothers you can bring you 3 steps back. Yeah processing emotions is important, but the moment that’s done I need to actually be firm w myself about moving on. Like it’s done. We’re over it. We’re not gonna waver when someone asks us how we’re dealing w it. We will not complain about it unnecessarily. We simply keep it pushing

First comic here! Some dumb ideas about Senna's horns lol.

Who needs mobile data when you have PORTABLE BROADBAND, BABYYYYYY!!!

But seriously tho, broadband gives much more bang (data) for your bucks, at least where I'm currently living. If I ran on electricity I'd get portable broadband too lol. Then just call and text through Wi-Fi.
