eulogy
#i was fully going to just wrangle my way through life for another 39 years when my friend said to me:#you are gay and we want you to submit art for the pride art show. but i hasn’t drawn at all since last year so i made a new comic from scr#i was also having one of the worst times of my life all of the past week but every night after sobbing into a friends shoulder or wtv#i’d sit down and draw. and then today i locked myself in the basement for 5#hours and now he is finished. trans allegory or whatever#happy pride#world is horrible so hold the people you love close#i am trying . succeeding? not really but definitely trying#i have gone now through the 5 stages of grief. 1) eat food 2) eat food 3) hit rock 4) hit rock 5) give up#i Give Up. i give up by living my life without giving a fuck#which is like. actually giving down. or taking away down#idk anyway#i hope you’re well i’m HANGING ON BY A THREAD. BUT A GOOD THREAD#and to my lgbsbfk homies: i love you#my art

some of my friends and I (hi @merupasse and @cyclopsboxhead) are working on our own little version of the marvel universe a la elseworld or “what if?” and I’ve been rewatching the new timeline xmen movies so naturally I had to do my own little version of Professor X (and a little Magneto) pre-xmen.
Really enjoyed how XMFC and DOFP reinterpreted the X-Men mythos through the lens of 60s/70s culture and politics, and I wanted to take that and push it even further. Charles’ pacifism fits in nicely with the hippie movement and I’ve been doing a lot of reading on 60s psychedelia lately so I decided to make him a Timothy Leary-type drug guru figure who uses psychedelics to develop his mutant abilities. (There’s a lot of very clear DOFP Charles DNA in this especially vis a vis addiction and telepathy.) Another fringe part of 60s psychedelia I’ve been deeply invested in is self-trepanation (yeah I don’t know either but if you go on your own little research deep dive I think you will understand) which is so perfect for this I couldn’t resist.
in conclusion
#This is barely an xmen adaptation it’s holding on by a thread#but I’m interested in this specifically as a kind of retelling like you would do with a myth so I kind of love how disparate it is#Also I’m having fun and that what’s most important I think#my art#my comics#xmen#x-men#professor x#magneto#charles xavier#erik lehnsherr#marvel comics#au#elseworlds#redesign

Photo
from Secret Empire #10 (2017) by Nick Spencer and Rod Reis
A 2021 Marvel Trumps Hate ( @marveltrumpshate ) commission - Part 1 of 2
Completed with embroidery floss, watercolors, acrylics, gouache, and iridescent fabric on 22-ct aida cloth in a 5″ diameter bamboo hoop.
Bonus for the sparkles and shine:
#steve rogers#kobik#marvel trumps hate#hand embroidery#mixed media#textile arts#captain america#i have a lot of mixed (and mostly negative) feelings about secret empire#but this was a really neat scene to recreate#and secret empire did give us Kobik (in child form) which led to marvel's version of kid fics with bucky#(kid-fic bucky art coming soon! lol)#(that's the part 2)#my work#comics#i knew i wanted to do the iridescent text and watercolor background#but the iridescent fabric was a light bulb that turned on at the end#and the idea for the gray thread shadows followed#and boy howdy do i love how the combination make it look like the sky is glowing#now that i got all this iridescent fabric i wanna use it on everything

You ever learn something new about one of your hyperfixations and your brain just explodes with disconnected threads of creative energy?
@jonquilclegane, you have blessed me with that this weekend!
#i know ive been thanking you on the thread to the point that it might be getting weird but like#i’m suddenly obsessed with thinking about how to integrate Sigyn into the modern comics or the mcu#in a MUCH BETTER way#whereas before i realized she existed as anything more than a cameo in one of the Pride comics#i was indifferent to her showing up in the comics at this point#and even somewhat against it in the mcu with all the other potential love interests running around#but now not only have you changed my mind#(and given me more reasons to be pissed with vintage (and current) marvel)#i have IDEAS#loki#sigyn#loki’s love interests#seriously if you have not seen their additions to the love interests post please go read it

watched the musical demon show (don't wanna name it so this post isn't in the tags) at the behest of an IRL friend and i can already tell this is going to be a piece of media where i absolutely cannot stop thinking about it, not because i really love the show as-is, but because it has so many individual components i really like and find incredibly fun or compelling, and i'm so frustrated that it doesn't come together for me
i think the main thing i can say about it as a show, setting aside some of the insensitive choices that were made that i really don't feel qualified to tackle or talk about, is that the entire thing sort of gives off this vibe of someone really excited to show you every single oc they made in high school and college and i very genuinely mean that in both the best and worst ways possible
there are some good hooks for season two though so i will absolutely give them that
#the vibe is just like... they are just soooo excited to get all their ideas out that it becomes... messy and badly paced#like there are so many moments that are cool or fun or emotional in a vaccuum but they don't connect fully y'know#because this arc or character was JUST introduced so there isn't proper build up. everything moves too quick#and it's frustrating because you can TELL that the people making this show love their ideas and characters#and i more than get thta! i am also someone with a lotta ocs i love to blab about#but i think they have been working with them so long that they#a. assume we are already just as attached to them as they are without always doing that work#b. assume we've seen all the supplemental material which. i have not#and i don't think that a professional show is the type of thing where there should be a barrier of entry that involves like#podcasts and comics and twitter threads and IC instagram posts about characters to do that emotional/lore legwork y'know#i love lore and supplemental stuff obviously but this should still be like#a satisfying experience for me a person who saw the pilot however many years ago and then has not interacted with the show or fandom since#idk man stuff felt rushed and messy and i wish i liked it more#it needed more slow moments i think. the two scenes where the group all drinks together (minus one awful joke in the bar scene) are like#the best in the show to me becase i actually believe these guys are FRIENDS. i wanna see them hang out more!#i wanna see them actually really grow to like each other organically!!! i wanna see them build connections and grow better slowly!!!#songs absolutely slap though. soundtrack is probably gonna be in my spotify unwrapped 2024#i love me a musical and that inspiration is on its sleeve which i love#also imo the humor isn't great usually. it's very juvenile imo and sometime that works but it often doesn't#(for me at least humor is obviously SUPER subjective)#also tonally they have this 'have your cake and eat it too' issue which bugs me. it's exemplified by the v's (one in particular)#actually i could go on a whole rant about the v's if anyone is interested because god i have some Thoughts#and i think my issues with the v's (namely one v) encapsulates many issues i have with the show#despite all this rambling i actually did enjoy a lot of my time with it. i just don't think it was well-written if that makes sense

#vis :: ( craig )#ver :: college ( craig )#mun art#//i've been struggling with him for so long#//and it's bc i wrote myself into a corner on one thread. to say that craig basically hasn't changed hairstyles in like 10 years#//and then eli was like ehhh give him some hair gel#//which i was terrified if doing bc... again... my former hc that said craig did NOTHING with his hair#//BUT I'M SO GLAD I DID IT... IT WAS ONLY ONE THREAD... IT CAN AND SHOULD BE RETCONNED#//the first one was heavily referenced off a picture of jonathan togo#//he's not a perfect 1-to-1 for craig but i like his head shape and slightly droopy eyes#//he's a lil dweeby lookin but still cute 💕#//and the other two were my attempts at loosening him up a bit#//trying to push him towards my cartoonier style so he better matches with tweek#//it is so easy to go BALLS TO THE WALLS with exaggerating tweek's features#//one of my favorite tweek drawings is the final girl comic where their eyes take up like 75% of their face lmfao#//craig is DECEPTIVELY hard to draw bc he is by all accounts Just Some Fucking Guy#//i'm so annoyed bc i cannot draw his hair at the angle that best accentuates his scars#//but whatever we'll suffer thru it every time; labor of love 💖#//accepting that i'm gonna have to suck at drawing craig until i start being really good at drawing craig JDKAJSKAJ#//craig with half his face torn up: no dude i'm good; i've never suffered anything in my life#//i gotta draw him and tweek together; that would help with getting them stylistically consistent#//i also have got to draw craig looking more pissed off wtf is he so happy for? >:(

Pasta I need you to get with Marvel Comics IMMEDIATELY because the way that you write Peter in TRT and intertwine him with Matt is amazing. A team up almost as old as time was so refreshing to read from your mind!! I was literally giggling and kicking my feet the entire time
THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY TO HEAR, thank you so, so much!😭😭😭 I adored variation of Peter I could get since I was a kid - mostly TAS, and then the movies (which blew Tiny Me's mind), so I would love love LOVE to dig into all his variations in the comics, too, especially with Matt! I'm hoping to get a Marvel comics sub for my birthday, too, so fingers crossed I'll be able to do an even deeper dive into the history of DD and Spidey teamups within the next few months! 🤞
#the red thread#spider-man#daredevil#Spidey was one of my favorites as a kid#we couldn't really afford for me to get into comics as a kid#(and getting bullied out of a comic shop by older boys when i finally dared to go in didn't help but that's another story)#but damn did i love TAS#and then the movie came out and i was like !!! WHAT THIS IS AMAZING#(ily tobey!spidey)#i'm lucky to have had some Peter at least and the helpful people who post comic images or discuss his character#but i stg if i could finally do a deep dive into the comics i'd just hibernate for a season and do nothing but read

fun thing about being on multiple social media platforms is you can watch people plagiarize each other in real time
#love watching tiktoks and realizing they are just tumblr threads verbatim#love seeing a comic here that is depicting a tiktok from a few months ago

really think it's important to not only have queer spaces outside of internet circles, but to also actually GO to them, because if you spend all your time learning about and interacting with other queer ppl on twitter/tumblr you end up with serious, dangerous and wrong opinions of "trans men are oppressors" and "lesbians are te/rfs" instead of getting to go out and meet all sorts of people in the community and get to know them and become one big family
#i know esp its really hard for teens since theyre too young to drink and go to bars i had to go to a lgbt center and it was still severely#severely lacking in resources and events to talk to other trans kids#im fortunate in my adulthood to have a big circle of gay and trans friends to hang out with#insert improve society somewhat comic here: but the internet has changed how a lot of ppl in the community view each other as like#competitors in oppression instead of people you should connect with and love#sorry read a thread calling terfs closeted trans men and i felt like throwing up genuinely
