People have been asking for over a year, and at last, it’s here: a huge zine featuring everyone’s favorite precious bean, Voyd! This zine compiles ALL my past year’s comics about Voyd and her new found family.  It also features a BRAND-NEW 18 page comic (previewed above!) with a cameo by grey!Gail. <3

You can buy it here on Gumroad!

 Lost-n-Found Youth (https://lnfy.org/) is an Atlanta-based nonprofit that exists to end homelessness for  all LGBT youth! (Read more about them on their website!)

BUY IT HERE, Spread the word to help support kids just like Karen. <3

throwback to when @dalek--jast was writing hella incredibles fics and we were all anxious to see how much angst would be in the next chapter with our fave

We are opening up another 50 spots for the Incredi-Hub discord!

It has all sorts of general and specific fandom channels for all your favorite ships (yes, Hevelyn too!) as well as subsections for the Elastigale AU and art. It also has a lot of fun bots installed for various server games.

In order to avoid fandom wank and drama that has plagued some other fandom servers, we’re running a tight ship and will have a one-strike policy for kicks and bans.  Read the rules and read follow them, be courteous, and have fun!

(If you miss this invite, no worries, we’ll post more soon.  See you there!)

Hey all! A little update. <3

[elastigale]

I wish I had the money to buy your newest comic!!!!! Gosh, I want read how that event went down and all of the trauma that's been opened up and all the questions and ugh, why are you so mean????? (Any reasoning on the paywall? I'm not saying you should take it down, just want to know why it's there.)

When you go to a restaurant, do you ask the chefs why they don’t just give you the food for free?

I’m guessing you don’t, at least I sure hope not.  That would be extremely rude, because it would show you don’t think their work, their time, their effort, has any value.

No value, despite the expensive culinary school they may have attended to learn their craft.  No value, despite the hours of practice it may have taken to get this job.  No value, despite the cost of their time, their ingredients.  No value, despite the fact that you greatly enjoy their food.

I post the vast majority of my work completely for free.  But I have to make a living somehow. I have bills, I have a family to take care of, I have a house that needs fixing. Either I take on other paid work and stop making Elastigale stories, or I keep making them and occasionally have some that are paid.  These zines are what support me and let me keep bringing these stories to you.

  You don’t have to buy anything if you can’t or don’t want to.  But it hurts me that you think my work isn’t worth anything.

[dalek--jast]

Seriously, it’s so incredibly common for people to ask for free art, there are entire social media accounts and subreddits dedicated to detailing all the times it happens. Art is a skill, it requires time and effort, and people that do any sort of art/design need to put food on their tables as well.  People deserve to be compensated for their work. People who are starving or can’t pay their bills aren’t going to be producing any art, paid or free. If you want a world with art and beauty in it, support your favorite content creators, whoever they may be.

Shoutout to the U.S. embassies in Austria, Chile, India, and South Korea who have directly ignored orders from the Trump administration in flying the pride flag

[bendingsignpost]

They’ve found really clever workarounds, as they were banned from flying the pride flag on the flag pole. 

They aren’t ignoring orders: they are obeying the orders to the exact letter.

[purple-beard]

Malicious compliance

[leondaniel]

Also in Mexico City they couldn’t fly the flag but they didn’t said anything about a picture of a flying flag ❤️

THIS IS SOME GOD TIER CHAOTIC LAWFUL EVIL STUFF

[gayvetforlife]

dude you gotta do what you gotta do

[thepersephonecabin]

if i see one more post accusing neil gaiman of queerbaiting good omens fans even though 

he’s said that he wants LGBTQIA+ fans to feel valid in interpreting aziraphale and crowley however they want to for the past three decades

neil has repeatedly and publicly said that he supports interpretations of A&C being in love, queer, trans, nb, or a-spec its just that labeling their love is difficult because they’re divine beings not contained by human ideals of romance and gender

that tweet going around of neil saying that fans were “reading too much into” A&C’s relationship was only a partial screencap of a longer tweet in which neil was supporting queer interpretations of his characters but no one on this site has reading comprehension or the ability to use google so everyone saw the incomplete text of the tweet and assumed neil was being homophobic when in reality that couldn’t be further from the truth

the book good omens was published in the year 1990 when it was much more risky to display openly queer characters in media than it is now

the show good omens was made as a memorial to co-author terry pratchett who died in 2015, so obviously, making significant changes to the plot gaiman and pratchett wrote together would be full of emotional hardship and grief for neil gaiman who is no doubt extremely upset that he is making this adaptation without terry alongside him. of course he isn’t going to deviate from the book since terry can’t approve the changes.

there are a million ways to show love between two characters that don’t involve kissing or sex and good omens used every single one of them between aziraphale and crowley

good omens already has many radical messages outside of A&C’s relationship (it’s literally a book philosophizing on the dangers of war and protracted conflict and questioning our understanding of christian theology. it also includes issues of feminism, anti-capitalism, climate change and pollution, and nuclear disarmament.) which cannot be ignored especially in todays political climate and to pretend that this show is as problematic as others i could mention just because neil won’t call two genderless creatures gay is reductive and frankly insulting

im calling the fucking cops

-signed a queer non-binary person who has been a fan of this book for over 5 years and won’t put up with any more fake woke tumblr bullshit from people who cant be bothered to do their research
