I convinced both of my parents to read Worm, due to living in the same apartment as them and having a hyperfixation. And both of them really enjoyed it but they're very different people, so I get to see two entirely different perspectives from talking to them.

The average conversation with my mom (someone who graduated college with a degree in womens studies and literature) about Worm is like: "The slaughterhouse nine fundamentally sells the fantasy to its recruits of being inhuman; the idea that they are monsters and even if they have physical vulnerabilities, by becoming heartless they remove their ability to be emotionally wounded. This is how Taylor first sees them; completely inhuman threats. But that's fundamentally not what they are, they're broken damaged people left behind by society and abused by Jack Slash. The reason why Jack considers Siberian and Bonesaw to be the purest members of the team is because they're the best as being inhuman, Siberian being a projection of someone else, and Bonesaw being a child that Jack is entirely able to shape without resistance (which is why she ultimately betrays him as she ages)."

Average conversation with my dad (a guy who liked The Boys and One Peice) about worm: "Alexandria could beat Omniman in a fight."

[Part 1 here] [Website/More Comics]

Hans Christian Andersen's the Little Mermaid: Part II.

For Mermay this year, I picked up where I left off adapting the original Little Mermaid fairytale last year. The world below the water is painted like black & white shadow puppets, while the world above the water is painted like stained glass. The shadow puppets call back to old fairytale storytelling traditions and the work of Lotte Reiniger, while the stained glass imagery reflects how the original story associates the world on land with churches and holiness and the question of who gets to have a "human soul."

Thank you all for following me this month again, including people who were here for last year too!!! I'm so glad other people enjoy this little project, and I hope to see you guys again next year!! <3333

im just so happy i live in a time period where actual meaningful biological transition is possible. even if we lose rights or the ability to exist in public, nothing can turn back the clock on that, and just by having any sort of access to that our lives are made immensely better. millions of our sisters throughout history would never have dreamed of a day where they could have what HRT does for us.

please don't lose the plot of this. if you're a trans person on HRT you're a living miracle, the dream of hundreds of millions of your ancestors. your lives are all deeply meaningful no matter what anyone says.

Cursed be the one who announced to my father: “It’s a boy!"... ...How could he twist the course of the stars so much? How could he have erred so in his astrology? A lying tongue, a fool’s mouth it had given him For he foolishly transformed justice to poison He altered the law and transposed the lines

Oh, but had the artisan who made me created me instead – a worthy woman... ...I would say "how lucky am I"

Father in heaven who did miracles for our ancestors with fire and water... ...Who would then transform me from a man to woman? Were I only to have merited this being so graced by goodness...

What shall I say? why cry or be bitter? If my father in heaven has decreed upon me and has maimed me with an immutable deformity then I do not wish to remove it. the sorrow of the impossible is a human pain that nothing will cure and for which no comfort can be found. So, I will bear and suffer until I die and wither in the ground. Since I have learned from our tradition that we bless both, the good and the bitter I will bless in a voice hushed and weak: blessed are you [HaShem] who has not made me a woman.

I think I'm gonna go lay down for a little while.
