“don’t take it personally” how would you like me to take it then? professionally? romantically? academically?

Angelica and the Bear Prince by Trung Le Nguyen

This graphic novel was sooo good. I liked that it had some representation that was quiet because it had nothing to do with the story really, it just added depth. The art is really nice and the author's note was good too! Kinda serious bit also Heartfelt. I will definitely need to read the author's debut book (which had already been on my maybe to read list)

The main character is so caring and stands up to a abusive bully of a familial adult and learns so much. And her best friend (MC's term) is great.

Disney Mirrorverse: Belle

Story by Alex Singer, Art by Irene Flores and Storyboards by Jan Apple

Library had this and I might look for other characters. And maybe look into the mobile game, but if it's combat based it might not be my vibe.

discipline is self care

self care isn't just face masks and bubble baths, it's also doing your assignment in advance so you won't pull an all nighter before the deadline, cooking at home instead of ordering out; discipline is an act of self love and care

I Feel Awful, Thanks by Lara Pickle

This was a mental health journey in a world of incidental magic, where magic and technology both exist. Very good, the main character goes to therapy! I recommend.

Note: it was originally in Spanish but was translated into English.

Edited to add: Since a lot of people are reblogging this original post, I'm adding the updated version I did that incorporates the intersex circle...

I know intersex people are still getting excluded in a lot of LGBTQIA+ spaces (let alone wider society) and I think it's crucial to show this group is included in the statement that we all deserve equal rights.

The addition not only adds important meaning but also adds visual interest.
