I Wish My Life Was So Uneventful And Easy That Fandom Shit Can Qualify As The Worst Thing I've Seen

Mom come get me off this ride I'm not having fun anymore.

Petitions - UK Government and Parliament

Petition: Do not stop transgender people from receiving care in mainstream hospital wards

The previous government proposed changes to the NHS constitution which would mean transgender hospital patients in England may not be treate

Well fucks? Get to it!

LUNAR BOY NOMINATED FOR THE GLAAD AWARDS!!

not clickbait it's true!!!! Lunar Boy is nominated for "Outstanding Original Graphic Novel/Anthology" and we are in some seriously incredible company! It's such a delicate time in history for queer and especially trans stories, so we couldn't be more delighted that our book is getting this incredible recognition.

Trans people have and always will be here! Whether from far off countries and cultures you've never heard of, or on the moon.

"What if Turbo Granny plays with the hairdryer cause she misses the feeling of the wind in her face as she ran."

And what if I killed myself-

Character customization can only do so much so I drew her

AI 'art' could never reignite someone's passion like Akira did for Kishimoto

AI 'art' could never create something as hauntingly visceral as Guernica

AI 'art' could never capture the tragedy of an artist nearing the end of their life the way Unfinished Painting did

AI 'art' is a joke

"But not ALL men" ass response lmfao

Some encouraging words for those starting to feel ashamed of being from the US ❤️

Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

whenever I read or write queer stories a great parameter of how I feel about it can be summed up with "would Ray Monde be proud of this" and really isn't that all you need

no but really sometimes I think about how he said "AIDS, love. Don't be afraid to speak its name. That's what they want people to do--push it back into the closet with all the queers and junkies." And you'd be surprised how so much queer media doesn't follow up on that bravery. How respectable and safe so much of queer media has become. I drew a whole queer vocabulary comic essay about it.

Ever think about how Spirit World had like. 0 queer vocab. At all. The word "trans" or "nonbinary" are never said. Not even "queer". Meanwhile og hellblazer has like "queen", "f-g", "queer", "gay", and "lesbian"? A comic in the 80s and 90s was louder about being queer than modern "more diverse" comics are.
