damn, V wasn't lying when he said Fritz and his sister looked exactly alike
...How are we even sure that's not Friech in drag.
good evening to everyone except the guy sitting in the row behind me at Maria-Theresia the musical who made a noise of disgust and then muttered something about artistic freedom when Friedrich II. von Preußen and Gabriel Fredersdorff shared a short, heart-breaking kiss on stage

MWAH! 'Tis Pride Month :]
*rainbow intensifies*
If this doesn't make the world alright again, I don't know
It matters that we refuse.
It matters that we resist.
It matters that we be loud about our refusal and resistance.
Everyone point and laugh
i feel strongly about this
being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.
the backbone of this damn website is some 15 year old drawing transgender headcanons of your dad's favourite movie character from the 1970s
its fun to remember we can use the big text if we want. bonjour motherfuckers. i'm posting loud as hell now.
hey everypony. can you direct me to the nonfiction birding books. thanks.
It's true what they say, you get gayer in the night.
... Wait was that the vampire thing
Uhhh
Idk can't remember, anyways, happy three am and happy pride month! :D
i need to change my whole life in one day. watch out world. i'm about to rearrange my furniture and cut my hair and develop new yet fully formed healthy habits all in the span of 24 glorious hours. i will also be buying groceries.
I Am Not Your Asian American Doll: a comic for AAPI Heritage Month 2023
I usually spend a lot of time editing and fine-tuning my comics so that they come across as polite and inoffensive. But honestly, I’m really tired of the way Asian cultures and countries are treated / talked about while Asian people themselves are excluded, and thought it was about time I really let my rage out lol.
id in alt
bumping one last time before AAPI month ends!
I was very nervous posting this because of my decision to not restrain/limit my tone in writing this comic, but I don’t regret it one bit. Thank you for your support 💖🇵🇭🇰🇷
“I Am Not Your Asian American Doll” turns one year old today! To honor its anniversary and this year’s Maysia I’ll share some of the artistic choices behind the comic.
My main inspiration was the work of feminist artist Barbara Kruger, who you may know from “your gaze hits the side of my face” and “you construct intricate rituals which allow you to touch the skin of other men.” I wanted to pair really shocking, striking words with high-contrast monochrome images as she did.
I chose eyes (and lack thereof) as a central motif. In conversations about art and media history, the “gaze” of the audience is a way to exert power. Who is made into the passive subject, and who gets to be the all-seeing viewer? Who is the subject being portrayed for? Hiding the Asian figures’ eyes demonstrates their lack of agency and establishes them as the subject rather than the viewer.
The skyline on page 5 includes Namsan Tower, as some readers pointed out. (You may have also been clued in from the page’s respective alt text, which describes this as the Seoul skyline.) Though numerous Asian countries have been victims of imperialism several times over, Korea was specifically in mind here. It was Western powers who Korea was split into the North and South, and their colonization and exploitation has led to extreme poverty even today, despite the country’s glamorous facade and rising international stardom.
As many guessed, pink was chosen for its association with sexualization and femininity, although of course fetishization of Asian cultures affects all genders. I also wanted to pick a dark, shocking pink that reminded the viewer of blood; in fact, it is used to color blood here on page 6. I was really happy that the color palette was limited but still legible. (But drawing the large food spread on page 4 with only three shades of pink was definitely a huge challenge.)
Here are some thumbnail sketches I made when planning the comic. You can probably recognize some of the final pages — and see how others evolved!
I want to thank everyone for their overwhelming support for this comic. I never could have dreamed of such an amazing response. To my Asian siblings across the world, you made me feel less alone. To non-Asian allies who lent me their ear, thank you so much for standing with us and listening to our struggles.
Usually I’m extremely careful to write my comics in a palatable tone, but for this piece I decided to not restrain my anger. I understood that by making this decision I would be sacrificing readership, and that many people would be much less willing to listen to me because of my tone. Nevertheless, I truly believe that any and all of the harassment I received was a small price to pay for such an honest piece to be seen.
Thank you all, again! Please consider supporting my most recent fundraising project, an Inumaki Toge themed fundraiser for aid in Gaza.
Final note: THIS COMIC IS NOT FOR TERFS 🏳️⚧️
I don't know if this is a brilliant idea or if it's a little weird BUT hmo.
A good omens fic post season 3 where Crowley and Aziraphale are themselves and they're aware that this is a fic. Kinda like they're writing the fic themselves
Bruh Perseus's butt is so intimidating tumblr took one look and put it behind a mature content label 🥀
This is only serves to highlight the importance of International Perseus Butt Appreciation Day.
We must spread awareness of the hardship and censorship that Perseus' Butt still endures in this day and age.
Stay strong, Perseus' Butt <3
every time i think about getting back into doing art more seriously as a job i am inevitably led back to the devils question of "do i need to rejoin twitter?" and let me say that is not a fun prospect to be contemplating. it feels like making a bargain with dark forces. twitter is the evil amulet and not even in a sexy way.
Not even I wanna eat that evil amulet. And I'm normally eating every evil amulet I get in my lil goblin hands. @mintmintminnt and @play-pretend-connoisseur can confirm that.
ITS A MODEL HOLY CHRIST ITS A MODEL!!!
