life everlasting / death unrelenting
Hey, can y’all rb this if it’s okay to send you messages asking about your ocs, cause on god I wanna interact with y’all but I am terrified of being annoying lol
actually im just gonna make my own post about it: please read more webcomics. please try them. every time people make posts about “aw man i wish SOMEone would WRITE about FLAVOR OF QUEER THING/TRAUMA OR ABUSE BUT IN SPECIFIC WAYS I CAN RELATE TO/WHATEVER” and then it gets reblogged into a giant thread of people agreeing with it and demanding Content i die because whatever it is is definitely being painstakingly created by an indie author who would really like for people to consume it and every time i point this out people suddenly can’t read lmao
it is out there it is free it is being made from firsthand experiences by people who care very very deeply who would be DELIGHTED to hear that it’s resonating with anybody at all, please throw some of that enthusiasm and support at people who will actually appreciate it
if you’re an indie comic person and any of this applies to you i encourage you to reblog this with a link to your comic and a short synopsis so people can browse the notes and find shit they’re looking for. or make your own post on your own blog if you don’t want to fool with other people i don’t care this is a sign from the universe that you should be louder about what you’re working on because people can’t fucking find it apparently.
i’ll go first i make kidd commander and it’s about an ensemble cast of queers on their way to kill god, they live on an airship and they’re all too pissed off to die. it’s free to read and it’s in the middle of its third arc right now. it lives here http://kiddcommander.com/
go go go
Every time someone asks for queer comics in the vein of OP I want to hold up a sign and yell I’M HERE. I’M RIGHT HERE. I’M RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. I’VE BEEN HERE THE WHOLE TIME.
I make a comic called White Noise, and I’ve been making it since 2011. All the characters are queer. There’s lots of monsters and trauma and people taking care of each other despite great hardship and places where I try to manifest the feeling of getting that first deep and steadying breath after you’ve been crying your eyes out for a few hours. Here are some pages I like from the last five-ish chapters.
I’m just getting to the end of the first arc–12 chapters plus an epilogue, about 500 pages, all for you to read for free on its own website. The art in the beginning starts a little rough and gets better as time goes on, because this is my passion project that I’ve been using to teach myself how to draw.
The story follows siblings Hawk and Liya, who get separated by civil unrest. Hawk goes on a journey across a world in uproar to find Liya, not even sure she’s still alive; Liya tries to adapt to her new home on another plane, while being very sure that Hawk is dead.
I work really hard on it, and if this sounds like something you might be interested in, please give it a shot: White Noise
(warnings for interpersonal and state violence, occasional drug and alcohol use, and non-explicit sexual situations.)
White Noise is excellent, and one of my favorite webcomics ever. (And I’m not just saying that because I did guest art for it ages ago.)
Much like Welcome to Nightvale, I feel like a lot of people have forgotten just how big and influential Yuri on Ice was. It fully broke into the mainstream. It was everywhere. Evgenia Medvedeva, the top female figure skater in 2016 and 2017, had YOI plushies thrown to her on the ice and wore a Victuuri tshirt to an interview. Japanese pair skaters Miu Suzaki and Ryuichi Kihara skated to the YOI theme at the fucking Pyeongchang 2018 Olympics. The Olympics. Canadian ice dancer Joseph Johnson did the ‘J.J. Style’ hand symbol in the kiss and cry. Johnny Weir made me cry by talking about how he wished the homophobic world of figure skating he experienced could have been more like the kinder world of Yuri on Ice.
There were cameos and references to it everywhere. Everyone was talking about it. People who had never watched anime were watching it. It was so big it crashed Crunchyroll and Tumblr. Twice. And all that for what was at its core, a queer love story that helped pave the way for more queer stories to come.
99.99% of rap haters have never even listened to rap. or if they have it's like one gangsta rap song & they treat the genre as a monolith and act like it's representative of every rap song ever. and well of course they are also just racist
first & last line still stand even if rap was a monolith and all rap was gangsta rap. btw
Rap is great! Everyone knows the worst genre of music is country
99.99% of country haters have never even listened to country. or if they have it's like one post-9/11 pop country song by a rich poser & they treat the genre as a monolith and act like it's representative of every country song ever. and well of course they are also just classist

Alright so I'm researching cat names because reasons. Normally I'd just do this on petfinder but petfinder makes me cry because all the cats look sad and my heart is shattered by the 4th cat in the scroll. Makes research hard. But you and your happy cats can help me!
I named my cat(s):
Something traditional like Whiskers or Socks
A human name like Steve or Betsy
Something unique you'll put in the tags
Multiple cats multiple styles
See ResultsSeriously! I want to hear the unique ones!
A comic I did for Okie Comics back in 2020, for their Halloween issue.
Oklahoma has a surprising lack of local cryptids, but the Ozark Howler seemed a good candidate for two amateur cryptid hunters to go after…
