intro 2 the Abyssal Zone....

(cute custom banner by @scarecrowbutch)

it's come to my attention that in the age of the mobile phone no one checks out custom tumblr pages anymore so I've decided to make a new intro post for the people who can't or won't go clicking around for links.

that being said: hi! this is my personal blog, I post most of my artwork here (and occasionally some writing) between reblogs, as well as various promotions for my independent comic ventures. It is not the most professional space but it's probably the easiest place to ask me a direct question, or to find out what I'm working on at a given moment.

*Note: this blog is run by an adult and therefore will feature adult topics on occasion. Please only follow if you are 18 or older.

COMMISSION INFO HERE! My commissions are currently wide open as I try to raise money for my tuition!

some useful tags:

lab creations - my art tag! all my visual work indiscriminately goes in here.

lab notes - statements and thoughts

askbox - questions people ask me, answered.

lab discussion - more elaborate thoughts, generally in the vein of fiction/media analysis.

gfposting - an offshoot of lab discussion, gravity falls specific analysis. I don't use this one too much nowadays sorry lol

OC tag - despite not really thinking of my characters as "OCs" in the way the nomenclature is typically used, you cannot deny these are Characters which are Original to my brain exclusively. Can be further sorted into:

Escape Velocity - my WIP comic! everything regarding these guys goes in this tag.

Comics - a tag for everything involving my comics: full posts, links to purchase/download, and updates.

other places I can be found:

Art exclusive blog - all my art (more or less), but without reblogs clogging everything.

Twitter - I refuse to call it x because that's stupid. Almost exclusively art posts.

Bluesky - I always forget I have one of these... I post art here too I suppose...

AO3 - I post fanfiction sometimes. I don't really like AO3 but it's arguably the best place to post transformative fiction where it'll actually, you know, get read.

other helpful links:

Itch page - I sell stuff here sometimes!

Ko-fi - buy me a coffee! (aka my tip jar)

FAQ - questions? check here first!

I get in theory why people complain about het ships or whatever, I get wanting to watch queer media I really do, but I guess where y’all lose me is like. I saw some asshole on a post about Sinners complaining it was “hetslop”—this person was specifically doing so while also claiming Remmick was a queer character and thus they were justified in caring more about him than the Black protagonists. which is a whole other disgusting can of worms that has been well addressed by others at this point. but even in the absence of that part of the argument, like, no, i actually don’t think that a hunger for queer stories is an especially good excuse to deride and dismiss a piece of landmark Black filmmaking, especially as a non-Black person. I have a post that’s been going around encouraging folks to engage with more Native stories and characters, and I had someone come onto that post saying in the tags that they’d need these stories to be queer in order to care. and I just think that, you know, sucks! like obviously as a queer Native I also want to see more of those stories too. but idk how else to put it other than to say that Black people and people of color shouldn’t have to be like you in order for you to care about our narratives and experiences. and I think some of y’all are using this disdain for heterosexuality as a cover for your unexamined racial biases. it’s not okay to be racist to people just because those people happen to be straight, and you continue to be white before you are queer.

[ndnbutch]

on an even more basic level than that, also, I simply just think some of y’all NEED to learn how to interact with media and storytelling without ships and fandom in mind. like if not being able to write fic about two men kissing is genuinely going to be a dealbreaker for you I think that’s actually something you need to work on within yourself because at that point I think you’re no longer really interacting with art and themes and narrative so much as just kind of playing with toys. which is, like, fine I guess. have fun. but it wouldn’t kill you to disengage from that from time to time. especially if would allow you to actually appreciate rich and deeply moving cultural stories from communities of color that you desperately need to learn how to see as human
