Some of my favourite (and most representative) panels I drew for 'The Dream Thieves' graphic novel adaptation I finished work on last year, and that comes out on August 9th (you can preorder it)! To be frank, the process of adapting this book was like pulling apart a beloved childhood toy and trying to put it back together with half the parts. I am proud of her, but boy did she back over my lifeless body more than once.
it is impossible to watch a movie. every night i think i want to watch a movie. no movie gets watched. because it's not possible
You're obsessed with the rotting bloated corpse. It's like your Jungkook. Embarassing!
They make me so happy
Illuga once he has more confidence in himself and wrangles some honesty out of Flins

when you talk to people they kill you
person typing into google search bar: obfuscate meaning
google ai overview: Understood! From now on, all meaning will be hidden from you, and you'll be forced to wade through the dreary vastness. Whether it's things you've always held dear, or new ideas you've yet to discover, nothing will make sense or appear to have any real value. This could be the beginning of a fascinating journey!
Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”
So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”
Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.
Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.
dont know/remember if uve seen japan v france but it was such an amazing game like omg. more coherent thoughts to come (maybe) but just. i had so much fun watching that one.
thailand seems to be feeling chatchu ons absence pretty deeply ://
i really liked japan v france. i remember france in 2024 feeling like the team that was only here cause they were hosting olympics but like. they really started pulling it together. and i feel like this is the tournament where japan is going to stop feeling like japan without koga and just like japan... if that makes sense
not having chatchu-on is brutal. i feel like she is their most consistant hitter and they only barely stayed in the tournament last year. like i know they have it in them we just have to unlock whatever magic they had in 2022!!!
japan has done such a great job on their offense and their block which historically have been the things that allow other teams to defeat them and im very excited to see where they go this year. keeping a close eye on france and china as well. italy does not interest me this year and neither does turkiye but canadas performance tonight was genuinely impressive van ryk was AWAKE
seeing japan play just makes me even sadder to see thailand bc i feel like it's the same style of play that japan has succeeded in executing and thailand just cant seem to find their footing :// i hope we see them more settled as time goes on
dude. bergmann hitting gabi style. thoughts? i gasped
i think the fun thing about thailand is that they could have the same play style as japan but while they both have crazy floor defense and like working angles thailand is my favorite to watch because they are just so much more scrappy. its also why i love dominican republic you just have no clue how the team will pull off the next point and they always do something interesting. starting a theory that thailand is to japan as dominican republic is to like a brazil or an italian team where everyone plays like sylla and degradi lol, teams that have similar bases but one is just executing it at a much better level. (and both dominican republic and thailand have spent the last cycle and a half relying on the same starting players and so im always terrified of injury and retirement notices, but this tournament were seeing new faces starting which is exciting)
also i havent been excited to watch italy since egonu first came back. like im just not into watching them plow over every other team. ill watch if they play a team i think has a shot of beating them cause then it will feel like an actual match but other wise im not tuning in. which is a shame because the italian team is good and fun to watch IF the other team is challenging them. but i also love an underdog so i WILL be tuning into france v italy cause i live my life full of hope and whimsy. or imagine them getting beat by a young chinese team like theres options.... (i also cant hate on italy winning too long because imagine having antrapova and egonu as opposite options while you have fahr and danesi as your middles. just unfairrrrrr)
bergmann hitting gabi style while brazil plays at home WIHTOUT gabi. its like having a peak into the future. i wonder if we will start seeing that from her because she is tall and powerful but i remember from past tournaments that she has games where her aim really lets her down, ive always loved her so this is like a fun new thing for me to watch. tho i always felt like gabi had the composure to defy physics with her shoulders when she hits. lets see how julia does lol.
what are we thinking about some of these mid-low ranking european teams. ive been saying since 2023 that germany is aiming to overtake netherlands, i wonder if this will be the year
czechia beat china and belgium in straight sets and they went to five with poland i feel like we've never seen them this locked in

some thoughts on belgium v poland
- about time we got challenges for back court touches
- stefano lavarini is going grey so quickly lord poland stresses him out 😭
- i get why they changed this but i was caught off guard when on the challenge screen it just said in a red box 'belgium is wrong' like huh 😭😭😭😭 at least it's clearer which way the point is going than when it said challenge successful/unsuccessful
- britt herbots is on fire wtf were those angles. nasty. can't wait to see more of her
- lukasik give me one chance. i can treat u right......
- so many jump serves
