I hope you'll enjoy your time here ☀

The Shapeshifters is a big and personal project, and with Lope we can't stop doodling and babbling about it.

If you are interested, and if you can understand French, here is the link to the first volume of the series (the other ones are still being corrected) :

Dans un monde où l'Humanité a disparu, de nouveaux êtres se battent pour survivre. Ce sont les changeurs, métamorphes rassemblés en société

(and sorry if there's some mistakes, you may have guessed English isn't my first language haha)

This scene was cut from the anime by Olruggio who transcended the boundaries of their reality to avoid another suprise adoption by Qifrey

I have a weird feeling about how anime-only people saw or still sees Qifrey's relationship with the girls. When the show started, the audience feared that Qifrey would be predatory toward his disciples and that their relationship would be sexualised. Ive seen a lot of manga-readers reassure them like "don't worry it's not a trap the relationship between Qifrey and the girls is truly wholesome there's no weird stuff behind it" (which is absolutely true). Some wha-fans tend to call out those people who had this fear, calling them fucking weirdos, but I think on the contrary that this is a pretty genuine feeling. And also it depicts a horrifying reality : we've been used to medias sexualizing little girls. We've been used to animes depicting super weird relationships between children and adults as quirky, cute or absolutely normal (I love Fruit Basket but damn the ambiguity of characters like Shigure... ya know what i mean). So far when we see an adult showing kindness to a child or even giving a platonic hug, we immediatly wait for the worst, because we have already seen it a lot. It makes me so sad. So anyways... Lady Shirahama, thank you so much for... you know... not being a weirdo toward child-characters

Ur moomin art.. so good...

thanks a loooooot 😭☀️

[lajackalope]

I'm always amazed to see the reaction of people who don't know anything about Moomin when I tell them that Snufkin is an incredibly charismatic character, they're like "bro wtf that goblin ?" and then the Moomin fans are like "omg yes my boi he is perfect I want to marry him"

The moomins were such a source of comfort for me, especially a few years ago when I was struggling with my studies. I remember watching the 90s TV series and fanarts on Pinterest during hours. The moomingvalley brings a sort of wonderful feeling of peace and security, something that says "as long as you stay there, you'll be safe"

and i want to marry snufkin too but anyways
