Tell Me More!

Last YD&Q episode of the year! It's a cute little minisode that took a surprising amount of time to finish. It's been a while since we've had a proper interaction between Pearl and Faith so I figured we'd stop by on this cute little bonding moment through Pearl's fandom side.

One of the goals I've always had for Young, Dumb & Queer is for the comic to be a comfort for queer people, whether they're still figuring things out or have been out for years. Even as we've made progress throughout the years, our rights are still constantly in jeopardy and our basic humanity is questioned for diverting from the heteronormative structure we've lived under for centuries. This month has been an awful reminder that we can never be truly safe from our oppressors. It's hard not to feel hopeless as we see Donald Trump once again elected as president of the United States, and all the Democratic party can do is shrug their shoulders and shake hands with fascists, on top of being complicit in the genocide occurring in Palestine. These are going to be a difficult and trying four years, but I'm not going to back down from being myself and expressing my queer art. What has kept me living this long has been the communities and solidarity I found with other people who are willing to show up and be there for someone, however they can. Even when things are bleak, we have people to fall back on. They'll fight for us as much as we fight for them. Young, Dumb & Queer is about those people. The ones who encourage us to keep going, even at the worst of times. I hope you do the same for your own communities.

We'll see you next year for more Young, Dumb & Queer. We're not going anywhere.

With love, Al

Mirror

A one-shot episode for Non-Binary Visibility Day! While Pearl has never been a full-on reflection of me as a person, I do end up exploring a lot of my own complicated feelings of my gender identity through them. Clothing in particular has always been an odd spot for me that I have a lot of passion for, but also a lot of discomfort with as fashion is very gendered in ways that I wish it wasn't. Something as simple as wearing a t-shirt and jeans will still get me clocked as a male and if I was born a woman, I’d probably experience the same thing. The important thing about non-binary expression is that there’s no one way to do it. It can take many forms, whether it plays into gender stereotypes or not. But then again, being comfortable with whatever form you choose can be an adjustment in it of itself. 

Anyway, I plan to do more one-shots like these in the future, so I hope you like this style as much as the longer storylines!

bro I'm gonna explode

q!philza is always shocked when people build their houses next to him, move into his basement, trust his judgement and advice, trust him with their lives

MY BROTHER IN CHRIST

the new member's first memories of this server are gonna be how you gave them waypoints, then money so they could use them, then explained the bounty system, then swooped in like a guardian angel when one of the players was downed all by herself

AND EVERY NEW MEMBER IS TREATED SIMILAR BY YOU

ANYTIME ANYONE ON THE SERVER NEEDS HELP, YOU SWOOP IN, AVOCADO TOAST IN HAND

I just wanna shake q!philza by the shoulders and yell in his self-depreciating face "YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON AND YOU ARE LOVED!"

QSMP 3AM CHALLENGE GONE WRONG

Q!mike and Q!YD had an argument and settled their disagreement with a stickfight. Resolution is celebrated in Q!Phil’s very unique ways (ft the friend shaped creature of unknown origin he found and Q!badboyhalo)

Not related to much of anything, but I love seeing YD's posts over on twitter. She's being so positive, and seeing all that excitement is downright adorable

Like when she saw a clip of Phil running over to pick her up after she got downed on her first day

That's so freaking cute

Not to mention all the fanart she's been retweeting, even asking at one point if retweeting or quote-retweeting was better because she wanted to start sharing the fanart that people were making

And of course this post she made today after doing some offscreen digging

And some iconic responses as a bonus

I also wanna say that I really liked Jyungreok's (Let me know if I spelled that wrong) energy too when he joined, he was absolutely hilarious. Though he hasn't been on as much to see. Same with Acau and Kong (Again, let me know if I'm spelling these wrong)

It's just nice to see this kind of positivity again and remember the great things that this server can bring to people all around the world. I'm really excited to see more of them once the server gets back up and running at 100% again (I also cannot WAIT to see how YD and Kong interact with Chunsik)

(Edit)

Ohh and now I just saw her reply to Tubbo lmao!
