it is very important that you know that "maybe the real ginger ale was the soulmates we made along the way" might be the best tag I have ever read

(re: this)

Thanks anon! On the real, I love wrestling because you can get feelings about the dumbest things, and kayfabe totally makes space for these ridiculous things to have real emotional weight.

Like, as you said, a guy refusing to call something that is obviously beer ‘beer’ and insisting that it’s ginger ale, possibly because it was an inside joke with his best dude:

Or a man breaking down in tears of joy after being given a new novelty glowing plastic miniature scythe; his first novelty glowing plastic miniature scythe having been cruelly destroyed:

These pants, worn by best wrestler in the world, who’s playing the ace of a fictional wrestling promotion in a film. The pants are a tribute to the real-life Ace of New Japan:

The obvious internal conflict on the face of a respected and talented young member of a rival faction, upon being offered an air guitar by a wrestling legend:

Or one last really dramatic high five:

This thing:

Or, of course, solemn fistbumps for the ghost of a dear friend’s tragically slain stuffed cat:

All of the things in this post happened in a language I don’t speak or understand. And yet all of these things, if you allow them to, make you care more about these wrestlers and their matches; give you real connection to the characters and the people playing them. I’ll never understand dudebro wrestling fans’ obsession with not getting worked. 

Get worked, you guys. Get worked often and thoroughly. Otherwise it’s all just fake.

Artist Interview: Olivia Stephens

Artist Interview: Olivia Stephens @oliveoilcorp

Artist Olivia Stephens is responsible for the FIYAH #10 cover art. We asked her a bit about her process and the work she’s excited about.

1: What inspired you to originally want to be an artist?It’s a common answer these days, but: anime and manga. I’ve always drawn a bit, but once I was introduced to shonen manga (Bleach was my first serious experience in fandom) in middle school, I really…

Listen, yes of course Eddie Brock is an exceptional example of an alien fucker but I need everyone to understand that the symbiote is canonically from a planet where not only does everything reproduce asexually but the even idea of wanting any kind of relationship with a host was considered so insane and devious that the Venom symbiote was sentenced to death for it. And consider how weird a human must be to them. Humans are as much aliens to symbiotes as symbiotes are to humans.

What I’m saying is in terms of being an alien fucker, NOBODY beats the Venom Symbiote.

tired: eddie brock is a monsterfucker

Calling Black Comic Creators!

Calling Black Comic Creators! We want to feature your work.

Speculative literature doesn’t begin or end traditional publishing. That’s why we include indie/self-published features in many of our issues. It doesn’t begin or end with prose, either. That’s why we include poetry.

Beginning in 2019, we’ll also be featuring profiles and works by Black comic creators in each of our issues + on our website in an effort to amplify these projects. So if you’ve got…

This is the announcement post for Occupational Hazards, a new serial light novel series.

The first arc is Zero Hour, which follows the separate lives of a kidnapped potential heir and a powerful shadow magic specialist as their lives start to connect.

Twenty-seven year old Hedy Holiday has clinical anxiety and a rocky past, but gets by. She can't be part of a Guild, but she makes do with her portals as a Court Neutral courier, counting down the days until the Court changes over. (Maybe the worst of the harrassment will stop. She doubts it.)

Thirteen year old Ciela is the potential heir to a long dead empire and its relics. She would be happy to have never found out- maybe then her family wouldn't be held hostage as she pretends to be the perfect captive for the Society of Magisters. They'll let her family live as long as she's a perfect puppet heir, but something tells her things will get worse if she doesn't fight for freedom soon....

Preview zines are currently for sale at PMX 2018, and the first post will go up Wed October 31st on the official Tumblr. (OccupationalHazards-series.tumblr.com)

My first two inktobers~ both of these have characters from Occupational Hazards, a series I'm working on right now!

For the first pic, Hedy is the one with the braids, Ciela is the smallest, and Vivienne is in the sweater. Industria is the one in the right pic with the suit.

A bit of a late post- I posted both of these on Twitter last week and I just now remembered I hadn't put them here!

Hi #drawingwhileblack ! I'm Ash, (they/them) a disabled artist and writer in LA! I'm a big fan of magical girls, shounen manga, and murder mysteries. I write too- including a scifi romance LN that I'll start serializing here very soon✨👀✨

[crashwithash]

Some pen sketches I've been happy with. I really like the erasable frixion pens! Super smooth and easier for when my hands are shaky

[abellehayford]

[crashwithash]

Yo

Hi! I finally sucked it up and made a Tumblr for stuff I do bc I've been putting it off! 🙃 I'll be posting things I like and stuff I write/draw/etc. They/them, don't tag me in racist shit. Don't tag me in Anti-Black shit. Don't tag me in transphobic shit.

DO Tag me in to see cool stuff you did. Do show me your OCs (esp fellow Black creators)

I'm anywhere in LA County and frequently in Little Tokyo or Pasadena, depending on the day. I'll probably tell you ahead of time, so if you wanna chill shoot me a message.
