Malatona When It Rains

I've been struggling to put my recommendation for Malatona When It Rains into words that aren't just "it makes me want to bite things". I know this is Tumblr, so that's probably a pretty solid recommendation on its own, but this comic deserves specifics so I will try!

Malatona examines the politics of a small provincial court and the lives of the people it is made of.

The murder of a government official stokes rising tensions, agendas within the court pit its members against one another, and the region teeters on the verge of ecological collapse.

Bureaucracy is a machine for chewing people up and spitting them out. It's also a machine made out of people.

Makkine brings the humanity of the cast to the forefront without exonerating any of them for their complicity in the system.

The traditional brushwork/digital color combination is also just a treat to look at! I don't want to go to Malatona, but it feels like I could.

I've been in the very lucky position of getting to see the comic as it develops, and lemme tell you, it's gonna go places.

You can read it on its own site, Webtoon, Tapas, and Comicfury.

We are all put on this earth to be a service to others and I am grateful that for some, my Cheerios ponytail and sassy sashays may have given a little light to someone somewhere, who may have needed it. To everyone whose heartfelt stories I have heard, or read I thank you for truly enriching my life.

“The man who named my narrow bed was a quiet person, but he had good questions. “I suppose you do love me, in your way,” I said to him one night close to dawn when we lay on the narrow bed. “And how else should I love you—in your way?” he asked. I am still thinking about that.”

Honestly I think one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself is to separate your negative qualities from your identity.

Instead of saying “I’m lazy,” saying “I’ve made a habit of not doing work unless it’s absolutely necessary.” Instead of saying “I’m a bad friend,” saying “I haven’t communicated as much as I should with the people I care about.”

By being specific about your problems, and by framing it as an action that you are consciously either working on or ignoring rather than an unchangeable part of who you are, you allow yourself to accept your mistakes and work constructively on them instead of pretending they didn’t happen or wallowing in blaming yourself.

The engrained feminine response to external disapproval is something I won’t be able to shake for a long time and I know it. To this day when I realize I have made a mistake or let someone down in any capacity I am instantly overcome with the need to move, to bend, to shift, to make whatever space I think they need to show it was just a fluke, look at all I’ll do now to overcompensate, look at all the ways I can be competent, watch me stitch it back together twofold in half the time, I’ll be ashamed, I’ll be ashamed, I know better I promise I do, watch me reject myself for you, I can fix it for you, just please don’t think I’m any less whole for it. Please don’t stop recognizing the bare bones of my existence. Anything but that. I’ll die if it’s that
