Polite menaces, that'll be our brand! 🏴‍☠️ No you are not dreaming, Lys (@lumihanki) and I made a comic titled "Off the books" based on our beloved show Our Flag Means Death, which we both are very excited and proud to share !

📚 It is now published as part of the "Our Flag Means Zine" anthology printed by Fundacja Instytut Kultury Popularnej, NOVA. Czytelnia Komiksów i Gazet - Biblioteka Uniwersytecka w Poznaniu. You can grab one for free during the Poznań Comic Art Festival happening right now (April 18-21, 2024) where you can also come see me!

❤️ We've put a lot of love into this and to see it take physical form, reach readers is a wonderful experience. Here's a sneak peek of what my personal lighthouse and myself made, we're excited for you to read it 🕯️

I've realised that the thing I love most about the new popular queer media (and for this I'll use as an example wwdits, good omens and ofmd), is the fact that the difficulties these characters are dealing with aren't connected to their sexuality. The problems don't stem from their queer sexuality. They are not being punished for being queer.

Crowley and Aziraphale's relationship isn't forbidden because they aren't a cishet couple. It's forbidden because they are both victims of an opressive and unjust system (heaven) who's afraid of their combined power which is a direct result of their love for one another.

Guillermo and Nandor's relationship is so nuanced and complicated. There's lots of things to unpack that have been piled up for more than a decade, but again their queer sexualities aren't the problem. Same goes for the rest of the vampires, who are also queer.

Sure, in Stede's case he has to deal with queer trauma, toxic masculinity and the realisation that he's gay, and therefore doesn't conform to the ideal archetype of the straight, masculine man with the heterosexual family. But after realising that and coming out to Mary, the show isn't really about ‘oh, look how difficult it is to be queer, poor guys'. Like Con O'Neil said in a panel, the obstacle here isn't that we have two men who are in love. The difficult thing is to let yourself be in love and become vulnerable.

Both Stede and Ed are dealing with their own trauma, which has affected how they see themselves and by extension their relationships with other people. They are dealing with self doubt, even self loathing, and the belief that they aren't good enough or that they don't deserve love. However, none of that is because they are queer. Being queer sure isn't easy (especially then) but it's not the source of their pain and I fucking love that.

I'm all about the exploration of sexuality, dealing with internalised homophobia and transphobia, coming out etc, and that's why we have series like Heartstopper. But it's still so fucking refreshing to see queerness not being depicted as a ‘big deal’, but rather one of the many aspects of one's self.

That being said, I love being queer and fucking love my insane little queer characters.
