I wrote some annotations for O Human Star! I'm starting with Chapter 3, and working backwards, it seems. Check it out and feel free to comment!

Steve and Tony Watch The Baseball.

"There is no nobler or manlier game than baseball," apparently, according to Harper’s in 1865. So here’s another comic. It’s just here, on this tumblr page, at this link: http://americancaptaincomic.tumblr.com/baseball

Steve isn’t imagining it, the strike zone has in fact changed in size many times since the 1940s. Its true dimensions are known only to individual sports fans with vested interests. Also, I’m not sure if I recommend following Tony’s advice.

i have never seen them drawn this well in actual canonical comics.

"You DID create a most terrible slash upon their internet."

"I HACKED the internet, Thor. It's different. Although I have done the other thing too."

As soon as I read that line I knew I had to draw it. I've been wanting to draw a big BD/Zonker thing for quite a while. Therefore...

…yeah I still have no excuse for this. This picture might have had a marginally less minuscule chance of becoming popular if I'd done, like, Steve/Tony or Johnlock or SOMETHING ELSE PEOPLE HAVE ACTUALLY HEARD OF, but I figured obscure would be funnier and besides, I wanted to draw it. Why does Loki read Doonesbury exactly? Well, why not?

That scene from Designations Congruent with Things that keeps getting alluded to but has never been explicitly depicted in either writing or art. Until now, I guess.

I went back and forth on what Newt's expression should be, but ultimately I decided on wistful instead of laughing. Partly because Caitlin is already laughing hard and I wanted everyone to have a unique expression, but mostly, because, well...

I don't really think Designations!Newt expects to be happy for any length of time. He's enjoying seeing Mako happy, but he knows that this won't last, that stuff like this won't happen too often. Thus, wistful.

Also, the glitter Mako is throwing is actually sparkly paint, but it doesn't show very well in the scan, so just imagine the sparkles for yourself, mmkay?

[tigrita]

So I'm writing a literary analysis paper about Designations Congruent with Things, but I'm kinda struggling and I think I would benefit from another pair of eyes, so if anyone is kind enough to give a critique or just wants to hear me ramble, click the link to edit and comment!

FANDEMONYMS

So "fandemonym" is a new word that I coined that the English Language totally needs. Allow me to explain.

A fandom, as you surely know, is a group of fans, almost an entity unto itself. A demonym is the word for the people who inhabit a specific place, such as Washingtonians, Americans, Chinese, etc.

Therefore, a fandemonym is the word for the people who "inhabit" a fandom. Sherlockians, Whovians, Homestucks, Night Valiens ( yes, with an e. i don't think this is a thing yet, but it totally should be) 

There's this really neat concept that's never had a word before! Come on guys, let's make this a thing.

Here is “Knot”, a short comic I drew to sell at Mocca and TCAF this year. The printed version is going to be SO PRETTY. I’m in love with the cover (which I will post later).

I just wanted to do something fairy-tale-like that talked about doubts and frustrations and how to deal with them. I’m really happy with how colorful and adorable the story turned out to be. 

If you enjoyed “Knot”, please consider reblogging it and/or checking out my ongoing webcomic Namesake! HUGS TO ALL OF YOU!

Today I learned that the Curiosity sang itself ‘Happy Birthday’ on its year anniversary of being on Mars.

All alone.

Hundreds of thousands of miles from anyone or anything.

Guys I am depressed over robots now.

[noparallels-deactivated20180723]

Rainbow Eucalyptus, is the only species of eucalyptus that grows in the northern hemisphere and is normally grown for its pulpwood, used to create white paper. But why does it look like it’s been painted?  The secret behind the Rainbow Eucalyptus is that the trees shed multiple patches of bark every year, but not at the same time. As the patches are gone, the green inner bark is exposed, and as it matures it turns bluish, then orange, purple and maroon. This creates the rainbow effect.
