i just finished reading drop-out by gray folie right. greatest webcomic ive ever read, full stop. i love media that hurts in such a good way and it fit the bill better than almost any other piece of media could. its really fucking good. so i go here. i type in #drop out into the search, because i had a feeling tumblr would eat this up
here i am staring at some several hundred or so posts about collegehumor
woman of all time @gynandromorph https://fresh-meat.thecomicseries.com/ (content warnings in top left corner!!!)
it (was) @pluralthey's birthday, so I drew the one and only DUPE (and its character Drake)! 🦎🎨🌈 This year I tried a more realistic than toony style for the glorious chameleon, and also used the image "Rainbow Rock Texture" by natural wonders photography for a little extra visual crunch (as licensed under CC BY 2.0).
it's not too late, you TOO can celebrate by drawing the lizard and reading @gynandromorph's excellent webcomics!

Drop Out by Gray Folie 🐱
Trans rep: 9/10
General enjoyment: 10/10
Age rating: 16+
Oh my. Okay im going to start off with a really big content warning, this comic doesn’t just reference topics of suicide, depression, and trauma, but instead revolves around them for the entire length of the story. Honestly reading this comic made me consider a lot of my own stuff, especially relating to growing up queer, and had an intense emotional impact on me (i.e. i cried a bunch).
The story follows Lola, who is nonbinary, and Sugar, who is a girl but also describes some past conflict with her gender. The two are in a relationship and decide to do a joint suicide by jumping at the Grand Canyon. Most of the story takes place during the road trip they take to get to the Canyon, during which they talk through their trauma and personal reasons for wanting to die.
Its a really intense and emotional story, but also a really important read because of the deep insights it gives into the real struggles of life, especially for trans people. Arguably the trans rep isnt super front and center to the story, so I cant give it a 10, but when it is discussed its done in a really tactful and realistic way. Sometimes its easy to read comics about trans people and think its all cute anime girls in spinny skirts (which it definitely is sometimes) but there is also a dark side to being trans that cannot be ignored.
Recent birthday gifts for @gynandromorph! First drawing is of their fursonas gray (cockroach) and Dupe (chameleon), and second is of the protagonist Kim (spotted linsang) from their excellent webcomic Fresh Meat, which is coming to a close soon. That means it’s the perfect time to jump in as a new reader or give the whole comic a reread! ;P gray’s comics are so thoughtfully written and beautifully executed, and every time I return to them, I notice something new that brings further depth to the story. There’s really no one making comics like they do, and I’m super thankful they’ve made so many and share them online for free. So to celebrate their bday, do yourself a favor and read their comics (after checking the content warnings first of course)!
Happy belated birthday, @gynandromorph! C: it’s Dupe and Trist/Nobody getting in some quality Gaming Time.
gray Folie makes amazing comics and I highly recommend people check them out! Their long-running webcomic Drop Out is now complete, and their current one Fresh Meat has enough of an archive for you to sink your teeth into. You can also follow their art blog @pluralthey and read their shorter comics too!
uhh ok so I just remembered this image of @gynandromorph character Felix came to me as I was trying to fall asleep the other night (after rereading a bunch of comics about them) and upon remembering this I was compelled to summon it into this plane of reality
(also here’s more info on the meme)
every time @gynandromorph mentions that Liron can’t read, this starts going through my head on a constant loop, so I had to exorcise it by drawing this, thank u
