Ikkoku Nikki encapsulated so much of what I feel as a person and I'm glad such a story exists.

Ganbare Nakamura-kun is a sweet adaptation so far. Feels reminiscent of Seihantai's in that much of the appeal is the way that familiar material is processed, but unlike that one (and partly by necessity of such concise short material), it has a lot of original material to flesh out a cute romcom

It's Trans Day of Visibility.

I'm gonna be honest. It is rough out there right now for all of us. If you want us to continue to BE visible, we need support. Go Fund Me's. Direct support. Buying works by trans authors.

(I am one of those, please buy upcoming comics that I wrote!!)

Part of a page from the webcomic KEEPING TIME. Denver Leary, a blond punk with a black eye and his arm in a sling, skates through a crosswalk while muttering, "Stupid, fucking, worthless piece of--"

He's cut off by a car honk a car screeching to a halt in front of him, making him bail off his board as he finishes, "SHIT!"

Denver Leary is having a shit day. Sent home from work, his girl's about to leave him, his band STILL needs a new singer, and now...

#KeepingTime is queer, bittersweet bummer of a romance between bandmates and it just updated! #webcomics

All it would take is roughly 12 million people and a concerted supportive effort that would weather any blowback (monetarily, emotionally, physically) with enforcement of not crossing the picket line in any way shape or form with clear demands and this would all be a wrap

Thinking about how years of work just to get to this point really went down the drain with rejection after rejection being received and I just gotta take that and live with it. A dream just being that when it was for my family and the people I cared for more than anything else. It really is brutal.

Watercolour illustration of Juliette, a tall and lean woman with long shiny black hair, walking fiercely towards a Formula 1 car. She is carrying a helmet under her arm and wearing a white and black racing suit with bright purple accents, matching her car's design and colours. On the road around her are layed multiple purple roses and petals. The composition is a reference to the famous Akira poster.

watercolor illustration of a Hello Kitty racing car inspired by the Hotwheels Nissan Skyline GT-R Sanrio design. It's pink and black with hello kitty stickers, the driver, a young red haired person with freckles, is leaning nonchalantly on the car's hood and playing with the keys, the driver's door is open. Next to it two illustrations in Sanrio's style of Hello Kitty herself and the same driver blowing a raspberry (it's Jasper!)

I dont ever remember this being taught in schools because… why would they? It paints the US in “a bad light” which is just awful. I think this was something i learned about much much later on my own.

Its crazy how many of our atrocities are just hand-waved away like they never mattered or happened.

Childhood pen drawing of three original creatures. They are basically circles with big anime eyes and hands and feet, like a cross between Kirby and Pokemon. They have shiny ball-tipped antennae. Text at the bottom labels them “elementei.”

Zoe: Oh, it’s just something from a story we’re working on.

PAGE 2
A full page illustration of the Elementei Guardians, as imagined by Zoe, Maya, and Nina. It has a title treatment and a copyright notice ( (c) Elementei Studios). They have clearly spent some time thinking about this.

Caption: In a world where people have figured out how to harness teleportation magic for their machines, but don’t realize that they’re wearing down our interplanetary fabric — evil monsters start slipping through the cracks!

Fresh Start is OUT!!!!! It’s a lot of things — a mixed kid story, a gender story, a complicated family story, a friendship story, a love letter to anime tweens — but mostly it is RIDICULOUS and FUN and I’m so proud of it and so grateful to everyone who made it happen. AHHHHHHHHHH.

A tattoo of Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3. Spoilers ahead! It is a playing card/rotationally mirrored design that plays with his two plot endings. The top is the ascended Astarion, happy and cruel, in a fancy, embroidered red jacket. The bottom is Astarion denied and covered in blood. Sad but feeling. Ascended Astarion holds the hilt of the sword of life stealing, which points to the throat of the reverse Astarion, whose hand caresses the blade. The second photo is a close up of ascended Astarion, the third photo is a close up of the reverse Astarion.

Lines and foreground shading healed a couple months with minimal touch ups, background shading about one month healed.

This is entirely baseless, but i have a theory about Arcane Season 2 that at some point someone said, “this should absolutely be two separate seasons, but with the way things are going with animation on streaming we may not get a third season. Better messy and done than forever unfinished.”
