AND YOU DRAW STAR TREK... ARTIST OF ALL TIME!!

eyyy thank you!! 🖖 i'm a trekkie at heart

Hey! I realize tag lists aren't as common among visual artists as they are with writers, but I was wondering—is there any chance I could have you tag me in the comments when you publish new work for Rivets? I love Rib and Loum with all my heart, and want to make sure I don't miss anything with the two of them.

omg i'd be happy to tag you dude!! thanks so much for your support!

OH MY GOD

how on earth did you get me tearing up within six seconds of pressing play?? I was not expecting it at all, and it hit me like a truck

I'm on T! It's so damn hard for me to cry! HOW

Massive feelings aside, this is just beautiful. the far-away shot was so unexpected and well composed that it made my jaw drop. and the voice acting too?? amazing

I already love these two so much and I'll be devouring every single piece of their story I see, ESPECIALLY knowing it ends like this <3

iguanadonis

omg this is the most thoughtful comment ever dude!! i'm grateful to know it resonated with you so deeply

Rivets is my original story about a man with dwarfism in WW2 New Jersey who works the deadly job of bomber plane mechanic. He falls in love with his mysterious butch coworker after their foreman pits them against each other in a brutal competition.

Robert Cordero and Natasza Loumenny - callsigns Rib and Loum - are two overworked jocks, forced to live aggressive lives, learning to collapse in each other's arms.

This is my love letter to the factory workers of WW2. It's about disability, immigration, transmasculinity, the military industrial complex, generational sacrifices, and what people are willing to do for their scrap of domestic bliss.

Likes, comments, reblogs, and Patreon supports mean the world ❤️‍🔥 i want to reach more people!!

our hunky guy in motion <3

Guys if you want queer shit written by queers on our own terms you're going to have to start seeking out weird independent media. I'm sorry that's the only place you can regularly find it idk what to tell you, we can't keep acting like there's nothing if we're not getting blockbusters and triple A titles or whatever it is we're waiting around for. The thing you keep saying you want is already being offered for free by one person making a passion project on the internet and you would both benefit enormously if you interacted with it instead of lamenting that the only options we have for representation are pandering afterthoughts from corporate shit

toreen-m

Also there is always the chance that, if enough people find the weird independent media, are loud enough about it and more and more people find it...that it will become a big thing. The big title you want to have.

I'm always saying you all gotta support small indie magazines and independent presses!! So like.... you hate Big Hollywood genAI slop enshittification of everything???

Then support small indie literature. Buy their books and subscribe to their issues. You won't regret it!! Publications such as

Neon Hemlock

Strange Horizons

Psychopomp

Augur

Small Wonders

OTHERSIDE

and more! feel free to ask for recs.

So there's your weird media! A lot of this is FREE to read on the internet. BUT you all have the chance to put your money where your mouth is, literally, cuz these small mags and presses are volunteer-run and nonprofit, relying on reader subscriptions/donations + annual kickstarters to cover operation costs. And even with the struggle for funding they manage to pay authors the standard industry rate because they value human art. They always need more readers/subscribers . If you are financially able please consider SUBSCRIBE to these mags BUY their books and SHARE the info to your friends we are in this together stay weird thank you i love you

ellisnyeland

I can confirm that Small Wonders publishes weird queer shit.

I would also add:

Heartlines Spec

Haven Spec

Baffling Magazine (Neon Hemlock Press project)

Radon Journal

Seize the Press

the desire to be seen vs. the desire for privacy

3 goth gay cowboys ❤️‍🔥 Lilith the falconer, Randall/"Ragdoll" the rodeo jockey, Bishop the medic..deff saving them for a future story someday

iguanadonis

Randall escapes a predatory contract with the help of his medic, Bishop, and a brothel worker, Lilith. gonna write this one after I finish Rivets. Black cowboys deserve more representation in media.
