Emma is a hopelessly romantic lesbian searching for "The One." When she gets into a fender-bender with a butch stranger, Jackie, then continues to run into the same woman again and again, Emma is convinced she's found her one. Paranoid Jackie comes to a different conclusion about the pattern of running into this strange woman.

This comic is now up on my new Ko-Fi for digital download! Go check it out and find out of these two idiots can make it work!

My lovely valentine.

Under your skins, bright red shines

Mold to shape, tender and soft

Warmth and nice or it once was

Darling valentine forgive me please

The sharp knife is all I need

A Pang of pain! Blood runs down

From a hand we held for hours.

Beautiful valentine, my love, I promise

You won’t feel a thing when the wound is stitched

Cause’ your blood will rest in my veins

And your warmth will make me whole again.

My last copy of my zine was sold out last weekend. I figured I wanted to share all of the illustrations and poems I made. I hope you’d like them :)

You can search through them through my tag ‘Devourer of my Flesh’.

I really feel like Xena: Warrior Princess should be even bigger on here than it is. Like, there's a fantasy-action-adventure-comedy show based around Greek (and, increasingly, other) mythology, and the main character is a former warlord who's only just woken up to the error of her ways. Her name is Xena and her favourite things in the world are fighting, fishing, horses, and booze flamethrowers. And then she meets this woman Gabrielle, who is all the things that Xena isn't: sheltered, optimistic, excited about the concept of experiencing the world, and above all a deeply good person. And they start traveling together, so now Xena's favourite things are fighting, fishing, horses, booze flamethrowers, and Gabrielle, not in that order.

They go on adventures, encountering monsters and greek gods and people Xena knew ten years ago. And also sometimes pirates, vampires, and various incarnations of Jesus. In the meantime, Xena struggles with what it means to try and redeem herself after doing incredible harm, Gabrielle grapples with what place violence has in her life and her identity, and the two of them (at least, implicitly) fall in love. Also, the show experiments wildly with both form and content, doing things like a mockumentary episode, a modern timeline where Xena and Gabrielle are historical figures, and various musical episodes, bodyswaps, clip shows, and alternate timelines. The only thing that's always consistent is that Xena and Gabrielle are soulmates. It's goofy, awesome, and basically tailor-made for tumblr's userbase, and you should watch it if you haven't.
