IM NOT GONNA ASSUME ANYTHING BUT…NEW GAY SHOW TO BE OBSESSED WITH?? COMING SOON??

I’m ready for my catradora/lumity ass to be ~fed~ ✨🌈✨🌈✨

[transxfiles]

lumberjanes is based off of a comic created by shannon watters, noelle stevenson, and brooklyn allen, it’s about a group of girls who attend a camp for hardcore lady types and go on adventures together, solving mysteries. in the comics, we see: 

two lesbian protagonists in a healthy, loving relationship

a trans girl protagonist who is openly trans and happy with herself, and just another one of the girls

various girls who are butch lesbians or coded as butch lesbians

various girls who are gender nonconforming

an ace girl who enters a relationship with another girl, and they discuss the ace girl’s boundaries and her girlfriend respects them

a nonbinary character who starts out going to the boys camp but then realizes they’d prefer to go by they/them pronouns and attend the girl’s camp. the trans girl helps them with their journey, and they discuss gender together!

a background relationship between the camp director and her ex girlfriend - they’re still in love but they have different beliefs about the magic of the forest, so they stay separated and pining

a girl who has two dads

various other background canon lgbt/lgbt-coded characters! 

please support lumberjanes. read the comics if you’re interested (they’re sweet, cute, and funny, and the arcs are wonderful! it’s a kids comic but it’s really for all ages) and continue to show support for the show. there are even traditional books (written at the middle-grade level) if you want to check those out. overall, lumberjanes in general is a great piece of media and i’m so excited to see how the show turns out!

Lumberjanes 17 & Jo according to tumblr fans & tags :)

Jo’s trans identity was just another integral part of her character, and it developed very naturally — she was a leader, she was VERY passionate about being a Lumberjane, she was also trans. As soon as it came up in character discussions, we all went, ‘Oh yeah, of course Jo is trans.’ It was a very organic decision among the whole team. - Shannon Watters

Thank you Lumberjanes team

BOOM! Studios has announced details for Lumberjanes #50, the historic anniversary issue of the landmark original series that’s sold nearly a million copies worldwide. This oversized issue pays tribute to Mal, Ripley, Molly, April, Jo, and the many adventures at Miss Qiunzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet’s camp for hardcore lady-types that’s brought countless new fans to comics.

Launched in 2014 under BOOM! Studios’ YA-focused BOOM! Box imprint by series co-creators Shannon Watters, Grace Ellis, Brooklyn Allen, and Noelle Stevenson, Lumberjanes was originally solicited as a limited series, but the overwhelming response from fans transformed it into an ongoing series that has become a New York Times best-seller, been nominated for prestigious awards including the GLAAD Media Award and the Eisner Awards (for which it has won twice), and have even crossed over with heroes from the DC Comics Universe (in Lumberjanes/Gotham Academy). The Lumberjanes have expanded to middle-grade novels at Abrams Books, a diverse array of merchandise from pins to patches, and a feature film in development at 20th Century Fox.

In Lumberjanes #50, from writers Shannon Watters & Kat Leyh and artists Dozerdraws & Brooklyn Allen, join April, Mal and Ripley as they make several very cool and also pretty gross discoveries deep in the tunnels beneath the Mess Hall. Up above in the civilized world, Jo and Molly join Emily, Diane, and the Zodiac cabin for a fun and totally chill game of total world conquest! This issue also contains a special short story illustrated by Brooklyn Allen.

Lumberjanes #50,  featuring a main cover by Kat Leyh, connecting variants by Veronica Fish and a special wraparound foil cover connecting both Veronica Fish variants will be released in May.
