Wow, do you always read scientific papers to draw comics or is this a one time thing?

LMAO artists gotta do their research am I right

[vaxxman]

You can't just tell us there is a book about loving someone after you've transitioned away from being someone who can legally love their partner & not tell us the title of it. Historical queer media is too important to let die, please share the title of it

Oh sorry, I was going to make a comic on that, but considering how much I have to do IRL it's not going to happen any time soon, so I might as well tell everyone I know here.

It's "Der Fundvogel - Die Geschichte einer Wandlung" by Hanns Heinz Ewers, written in 1927 (not to be confused with Fundevogel 1812 by the Grimm brothers)

I saw the book exists in German and Russian, but I haven't seen English translations of it so I can't give you an English link, but there may be one out there. There is this (English) paper that analyses the main theme of the book and the problematic aspects of it, rooted in national socialism, so you can read this for the synopsis and the analysis on how (male) queerness justified its existence (to the detriment of female queerness) in Weimar Germany amidst the rise of national socialism: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1023/A:1012273310289

Some spoiler rambles in the tags.

the infuriating thing is that there is genuinely so much good queer literature out there, contemporary and not, but there is also a sizeable chunk of readers who think that a book only "counts" as good queer literature if it's a) unproblematic, b) contains romance as its central focus, and c) has the characters state their orientation and/or gender identity directly to the audience using socially acceptable 21st-century terms (as opposed to resorting to cowardly tactics such as Subtext and Themes)

anyway in case you don’t know it yet

Btw, I love TV, especially divorced ones with abandonment issues.

Time lapse under the cut.

I used 3.5 hours for this, which is time I do not have.

After your 30th participant or so, you start developing a kind of calculated impatience where you know exactly what to tell people not to do in order to be as fast as possible during experiments, works of fiction didnt lie when they characterise experimenters to be kind of greedy for your data

I don't think we are tapping into Medic calling men on the other team "Fräuleins" enough. I want him to ask for everyone's attention with "Meine Damen?", and going between fighting team mates with "Mädels😤", and when anyone asks him to correct it, he goes ahhh oopsie and lies about gendered nouns in German.

SCOUTS MA HIGH REZ PORTRAIT YIPPEE

You'll be at peace.

Archimedes is watching these two pop off and clean the capture point.

And here is the second panel without text.

The text is based on a Moravian (geographically that's in the Czech Republic now) Christmas song that was adapted into German in 1973. It has a very lovely tune.

The translation is based on the German lyrics because they are more vague than the original Moravian lyrics and therefore more fit as narration text. I made them singable in English, you are welcome.

Happy holidays.
