Sorry this one is a lil bit lazy TwT But I figured I'd give a bit of a heads-up just in case!
Buying any of my stuff will ofc help me out before a costly move, but I don't wanna pressure anyone, so please do feel free to ignore this if need be!

To this day I still don't know if that's par for the course or if I just happened to be really lucky. Probably the latter.

(Also reminder that I have a comic called "A Parisian In Cali" that I post on Webtoon and Tapas on Thursdays now! And this is part of it 🙈)

#immigration #france #usa
A comic titled "Immigration is fun (1)", featuring a character wearing an outfit with the French flag colors (which will from now on be described as the French character). Panel 1: Narration: "Prepping for fiance visa interview with the attorney." The French character is shown speaking on the phone, hastily agreeing with a voice coming from the phone giving rapid-fire advice as follows: "Learn your partner's phone number, zip code and address by heart! Dress formally! Speak the truth, but keep it snappy and simplify the facts if needed! And don't look nervous!" Panel 2: Narration: "Showing up for the interview." The French character is seen dressed formally, shivering in anxiety. She's holding two heavy-looking folders, described by a caption as "two full folders of evidence of our identities and relationship", and one bag with more papers in it, described as "photo album of 50 pictures of times spent together in different places". Panel 3: Narration: "How the interview actually went." The French character, still holding the folders and bag, is speaking to an American agent. The agent asks: "How many times have you met up physically?" The French person replies: "Eight. I have copies of our plane tickets if..." The agent interrupts: "That's fine. You're approved." A closing caption concludes with: "It lasted 5 minutes."

Sorry it took me forever to share this one here TwT And sorry it's so wordy. But yeah, hopefully that can be informative.

#usimmigration #immigration #france
Page 1 of a comic featuring a character wearing a hoodie with the French flag colors, which will from now on being referred to as "the French person". Panel 1: Narration: "So here's something I've been getting a lot." A speech bubble coming from several people is addressed to the French person, as follows: "You sure chose the worst time to move to the US!" Panel 2: The French person cracks a cynical smile, thinking: "Right. Chose." This panel triggers a flashback which continues until the end of the full comic. Panel 3: Time card: "2017." Narration: "Started a long-distance queerplatonic relationship with a friend from California met online a year prior." The French person is seen talking with the Californian person in question via video call on a computer. Narration: "They're amazing. It's amazing." Panel 4: Time card: "2018." The French person and the Californian person are seen hugging. Narration: "I visit California and we meet IRL for the first time. It's great. We plan to meet again some time in 2020, to give me time to save the money to travel this far again. (Money got twice as tight in Europe post-2008.)" Page 2 of the comic started in the previous image. Panel 1: Time card: "2020-2021." The Californian person and the French person are seen trying to communicate through a paper cup phone, but the line has been cut with scissors left on the floor. Both are tearing up. Narration: "In reaction to Covid, the US government banned travelers from several countries, including France, from entering the US, with only spouses and immediate relatives of citizens exempt. The ban lasts 605 days. By spring 2021, I snap and spend 3 months' salary on a 2-week trip to a non-banned country, so I can finally get to visit again. By late 2021, with still no end to the travel ban in sight, I'm thinking of ending things." Panel 2: The Californian person and the French person are seen exchanging rings in front of the Eiffel tower, shedding happy tears. Narration: "In fall 2021, my partner traveled overseas alone for the first time to see me. They got us promise rings. So that a travel ban could never separate us again, if it were to happen again, we decided to get married, but not until four years later, so as to get our lives together a bit more and save some money for those plans. Page 3 of the comic started in the two previous images. Panel 1: Time card: "2022." Narration: "Due to my partner not speaking French, and due to the US having more of the geopolitical power to possibly put up another travel ban in the future, we concluded it'd be best for me to be the one to move to the US." The Californian person and the French person are seen looking at a graph, with concern. The graph shows two lines, a short one and a long one. The short line is captioned: "Immigration timeline pre-pandemic." The long one, which is 4 times longer than the short one, is captioned "Immigration timeline post-pandemic." Narration: "Tricky part: the pandemic-related travel bans and lockdowns created a backlog in immigration cases, making the immigration process go from a few months to possibly years. Panel 2: Time card: "2024." Narration: "Since we figured it'd take a while, I proposed during a visit in January, and we got to work." The French person and the Californian person are seen holding hands, sharing a decided look. The French person says "Let's do this!", and the Californian person nods in approval. Panel 3: Narration: "In April, after months of paperwork and trying to get a hold of the immigration attorney my partner found, our fiance-based immigration case is sent to US immigration services." The French person is seen holding a phone to their ear, sighing in relief, saying: "Finally!" Page 4 of the comic started in the three previous images. Last page of said comic. Panel 1: Narration: "In June, our case is approved to move forward, and I panic a little, 'cus ironically it's moving faster than I thought and the impending huge life change hits hard." The French person is seen sitting curled up on the floor, looking scared and pensive. Panel 2: Narration: "In October, our case has been transferred to the visa center. After weeks of paperwork and trying to get a hold of the immigration attorney, I can finally schedule a visa interview." The French person is seen with a panicked look on their face. An arrow pointing to them adds the following caption: "I panic again 'cus the interview day is after our supposed case deadline." Panel 3: Narration: "In December 2024, I'm granted a fiance visa. It expires less than 6 months later, which means I have until May 2025 to move to the US." The French person is putting their firsts up in the air in celebration, shouting: "Holy crap! It took forever, but we can get married next year like we wanted! USA, here I come..." Panel 4: Before they can finish their last sentence, the French person turns to a map-like depiction of the USA, showing the country up in flames. They give it a puzzled look, commenting: "Wow, what the hell?"

#asexual #ace
A comic depicting a character dressed in a neutral outfit, having a friendly chat with another character dressed in a purple T-shirt, to symbolize their asexuality. The character in a neutral outfit says: "Y'know, I keep hearing that asexuals will often read or write the kinkiest stuff out there..." The character in a purple T-shirt smiles and replies: "Ye, it's just a lot of fun to explore!" A voice from a character off-screen interrupts with: "I don't..." The second panel of the comic pans the camera to reveal another character wearing a purple top, giving a cynical grin to the other two as they say: "I'm one of the bad ones." A narration line concludes at the end of the comic with the following sentence: "So I've realized we can now play 'good ace bad ace' with my spouse."

...Well, mostly, the main reason why it took me so long to draw this is that I'm a lazy procrastinator who takes forever to get started...

This is the start of a new series of comics I'm making called "A Parisian in Cali", also available on Webtoon and Tapas! We'll see how that goes

#usimmigration
A comic depicting a character wearing a hoodie with the colors of the French flag. A narration box states: "A couple months ago." The character is thinking to herself: "Now that I've made it from France to the US and I'm in immigration limbo, I could draw comics to show what the paperwork, the processes and the culture shock are like." She then interrupts herself, thinking: "Ah, nah... Nah, wait a sec. Might be a good idea to wait until you're OUT of immigration limbo before venting. Just in case." A final narration box explains: "US immigration fun fact #1: The government keeps track of your social media as evidence until your green card is approved."

Happy Halloween 🔥 (Sorry I got kinda lazy on that one TwT)

#halloween #ghost
A cartoon-style drawing of 2 ghosts sitting on tree stumps, roasting marshmallows on tree sticks over a campfire at night. One of the ghosts is wearing a cowboy hat and carries a pink toy gun in a holster. The other, slightly taller than the first, is wearing a scarecrow hat with fabric patches.

Kinda random slice-of-lifey, and I'm a bit late by now, but I wanted to wrap up ace week by sharing a lil bit more of my married life with my queerplatonic partner, so there we go.

Hope you guys had a good one^^

#asexual #queerplatonicrelationship
A comic titled "Two ace partners in married life (again)". Two characters wearing purple T-shirts (one wearing a T-shirt and glasses, the other wearing a hoodie) are browsing through a bookshop while the shopkeeper watches over them. The character with the glasses asks, "Got everything you need, beloved?", and the one wearing the hoodie nods. The shopkeeper happily interjects: "Aah! I knew I remembered you guys! You call her "beloved"! It's so sweet!" The character with the glasses looks surprised but amused, and concedes: "Guess I'm a bit old-fashioned like that..." A closing narration bubble concludes: "So I guess we count as regulars at the local bookshop now." A comic following the previous image, with the same two main characters. The first row of the comic shows them lying on the ground deep in thought. A narration bubble explains: "Shortly after our wedding, we were taking things in and thinking about the gifts we got." The character with the glasses asks: "What are we gonna do with all the champagne?" then facepalms distressedly, screaming: "Aaah!" in despair. The character with the hoodie laughs and comments: "Saying it like it's such a bad thing to have..." Another narration bubble concludes: "My spouse isn't a heavy drinker." The second row of the comic shows the character with the glasses holding the other's hands and commenting: "Ooh! Your hands are so cold!" They then place the other character's two hands on their face, saying: "I want it on my face. Give." Shortly after, they push them away, stating: "...OK, now they're too warm, I don't want it anymore", prompting a laugh from the other character. A comic following the two previous ones, this time titled "Things my spouse once said with little to no context." The character with the glasses is show stating the following in order: "I just wanna smooch you like a little guy!" "You have cute bones." "What, you don't do things at night?" "I'm a young adult. I can have cookies now."

Day 3 of #aceweek and day I-don't-know-how-many of me trying to best articulate the issues I have with how asexual and aromantic characters are treated in fandom, forever hoping to get the point across

#asexual #aromantic #shipping
The first page of a comic depicting 4 characters. One is wearing the asexual flag as a bandana, one is wearing the aromantic flag as a hoodie, and the other two are nondescript. Asexual character: Guys! It's amazing! Aromantic character: This character's canonically asexual / aromantic ! Nondescript character A: Awh, bummer... (Asexual character and aromantic character look confused.) Nondescript character B: I mean, they won't have sex nor be involved in romance, so, y'know... There won't be anything interesting about 'em... Asexual character: OK, first of all, ouch. Second, that's a reductive view. Asexuality and aromanticism don't imply one another, and also, they're spectrums. Some asexuals aren't OK with having sex, others are. Same with romance for aromantics. The main common denominator is pretty much not needing it as much as– Nondescript character A, cutting them off: Whoa, whoa, hold up. The second page of a comic depicting 4 characters. One is wearing the asexual flag as a bandana, one is wearing the aromantic flag as a hoodie, and the other two are nondescript. Nondescript character A: So you're saying... Asexuals can have sex? Nondescript character B: And aromantics can have romance? Asexual character: Some, yes. Nondescript character A, happily: So that means... Nondescript character B, also happily: They CAN be relatable! All we have to do is not focus on the parts of them that are different from us... Nondescript character A: ...And ship 'em like everyone else using the parts that interest us!! Asexual character: Wha- Wait, that's not... Nondescription characters A and B cheer: "It's a spectrum!" in the background, while the asexual and the aromantic character look dejected. Asexual characters: Should I just have said nothing? Aromantic character: Nah, that was fair... We just can't win is all. The first page of a comic depicting 4 characters. One is wearing the asexual flag as a bandana, one is wearing the aromantic flag as a hoodie, and the other two are nondescript. Asexual character: Guys! It's amazing! Aromantic character: This character's canonically asexual / aromantic! Nondescript character A: ...That pretty much passes for straight puritan, right? Nondescript character B: Yeah... So I'm gonna write them as gay instead. Makes for better representation. Nondescript character A: It's only fair.

Of course personally I don't even let myself partake in queer reading from an ace lens because my hopes are that down the drain to begin with...

Anyway happy first day of #aceweek

#asexual #aromantic
A comic showing a character wearing the aromantic-asexual flag, deep in thought. Narration bubbles read as follows: "Queer reading is often conflated with homosexual reading, which is fair enough I guess." The character then breaks the fourth wall, looking at the audience. The narration bubbles continue: "But please consider that for some of us, queer reading can also mean characters not needing romance or sex for their journeys to be complete, and friendship or personal passions being enough." The character the looks unamused. The narration continues: "Oh, and before anyone's tempted to conflate THAT with homophobia, that reading applies just as much to opposite-gender pairings. So... Nah."

#asexual #queerplatonic #qpr #aroace
A comic in 2 panels. The first panel starts with the caption: "Perks of being married to another ace person – now people can't look at me and think:" Three people are seen looking at the first-person character, who's walking around wearing an aromantic-asexual-flag-colored outfit. They are shown thinking the following in speech bubbles: "Guess she's up for grabs, huh. Her life must be so lonely and sad. Someone should fix her." The second panel starts with the caption: "Risks of being married to another ace person – now people may look at us and think:" The same three people are seen looking at the first-person character walking hand-in-hand with their spouse (pointed out as being non-binary), both wearing a queer-platonic-flag-colored outfit. They are shown thinking the following in speech bubbles: "Guess they were lesbians all along, huh. Her life is finally in order. Oh, good, someone fixed her." In between parenthesis under the second panel, a caption says: "The perks still outweigh the risks, but you know."

A drawing of two people embracing and crying happily, with a green background and the caption "I got my green card". A comic following up on the previous image, depicting one of the character involved in the hug. It starts with a caption stating: "I texted my partner the news while they were at work." The character is holding their phone which displays the following message: "Hell yeah, beloved! Have some celebratory walking-on-fall-leaves noises!" A video seems to be attached to the message. The next panel show the character listening to "crunch" noises playing from their phone, looking very happy.

My partner may be a different flavor of asexual than me but there's definitely some things we'll share sometimes.

#asexual #ace
A comic depicting me and my partner, cutting up some food for a meal. My partner tells me: "Back in high school, a bunch of people would tell me that I'm fruity. And I'd be like: oh, ABSOLUTELY! I mean, have you TRIED mango? It's delicious?" I respond with a smile: "Is it any wonder why we're married?"

...Real talk no shade on Onlyfans and what it's used for, I just legit could NOT tell from the name at first, how do people even know

#asexual #ace
A comic depicting a character wearing an outfit with the colors of the asexual flag. The character is shown repeatedly screaming in shock, with a change in hairstyle halfway through to convey the passage of time. The character is exclaiming the following: "Happy ending? Fanservice? Eating out? Netflix and chill? Watersports? Onlyfans?" A caption at the bottom reads: "Examples from my ever-expanding "what do you mean this is sex-related" list". A continuation to the previous comic, with a character wearing a nondescript outfit added next to the other. The new character looks at the first one in disbelief, asking: "Really? Onlyfans?" The other one responds: "Well, yeah! Judging by the name, I'd think it was something Patreon-adjacent!" The next panel shows the asexual character looking it up on their phone and commenting: "Oh, OK. So it was inteded to be that until they allowed porn and it took over. The more you know."

...Yeah I dunno I get it's easier to think we think we're superior or something

...Or maybe some DO feel superior but ye idk man can't relate

#asexual #ace
A comic depicting a conversation between a nondescript character and a character wearing a hoodie with the asexual flag colors. The nondescript character says, with their arms crossed: "Oh, you "don't feel sexual attraction", huh? Gee. Bet you think you're better than the rest of us." The character wearing the asexual flag, looking cynical and sad, replies: "Actually there's many days where it's hard not to feel inferior 'cus you're not feeling what so many people insist is "what makes us human", and people in general don't seem to wanna talk about you or to you and will exclude you from spaces (often not on purpose even) 'cus you don't typically focus on the same things as them... And a big reason why I'm vocal about it is to convince myself that I'm NOT inferior... But yeah, sure."

...Just a bunch of bits of life with my queerplatonic spouse because it'd been a minute

#asexual #queerplatonic #qpr
A comic depicting my spouse and myself, wearing purple outfits. My spouse: "What's your plans for today while I'm at work, beloved?" Me: "Hmm... Call some friends maybe... And go for groceries..." My spouse, looking eager: "...And maybe draw stuff from our daily life?" Me: "Haha, right! I've been meaning to do that..." My spouse, now looking very motivated: "You should! I bet your readers are wondering what we're up to now! Like, where's our blorbos? Our life-goal-inspiring blorbos?" Me: "...We're blorbos now?" An arrow pointing to my partner says: "I think they're proud." An arrow pointing to me adds: "It's not like my comic is that big though." A second comic about daily life with my partner. A first bit of narration explains: my family got us a vinyl player as a wedding gift, and my father got us vintage LPs immediately. My partner and I are shown sitting at the table, sipping tea while listening to a vinyl while it plays. My partner: "This is very nice music to have in the background while taking it easy." Me: "Mhm! It's chill, it doesn't overstay its welcome..." Suddenly the music in the background starts looping the same four notes. After a short silence, I stand up from the table while my partner looks amused. Me: "Welp, that jumped. I'll go fix that." My partner: "Ha ha ha! "Doesn't overstay its welcome", huh?" A third comic about daily life with my partner. We are shown eating dinner. Me, having finished my meal: "Thank you, honey! It was delicious!" My partner: "Oh wow, you ate that fast!" Me: "I mean, you know how much I love your cooking! I was more or less waiting for it like an otter excited for food!" My partner: "Oh, you mean like-" Both my partner and I assume a pose of looking up with squinted eyes, with our hands in paw position like a praying cat, and let out a long high-pitched sound at the same time. My partner then resumes eating. Me: "I'm so grateful you get me so easily." My partner: "Well, we are married, at this point." A fourth comic depicting my partner and myself, looking into the distance. My partner comments: "You know, honey... You don't draw me as a goofball as often as I actually am." A yellow thought bubble appears next to my head, showing a variety of scenes of my partner being goofy. Scene 1: My partner suddenly bites the side of my face as if it were food. Scene 2: My partner gives my cheek a sniff. I ask: "...So what does my cheek smell like?" They answer: "A cheek." and I hum in approval. Scene 3: My partner, showing me an apple: "Look at the tiny apples they gave out at work!" Me: "So cute!" My partner, looking devious: "They're the perfect size to throw at people." Me, looking confused: "What?" Scene 4: My partner, grabbing me by the shoulder, highly motivated: "Go for it, honey! Monetize us!" Me: "I legally can't right now though." (An arrow pointing to me indicated: "K1 immigrant".) My partner, calming down: "Well... Later." Scene 5: My partner, looking determined with a proud smile, declares: "I'm here for you, beloved!" They then squat down and a loud crack is heard. I look at them in bemused confusion while they have a look of pain on their face. Me: "What was that?" My partner: "A squat for assertiveness." Me: "Well, that cracked." My partner: "Uh-huh." The thought bubble comes to a close as I approve: "Hm, you're right."

People's wording keeps baffling me sometimes (one speck of a long "Stuff people say arbitrarily" series)

#asexual #aspec #ace
A comic titled "Still more stuff people say arbitrarily". Two characters are talking. Character A is wearing a neutral shirt, and character B is wearing a hoodie with the asexual flag colors. Character A: "...And those two are friends with benefits." Character B pauses, deep in thought, then replies: "...Y'know, I never got that one either." Character A: "Ah, there you go again." (From then on, the scene turns to a comical shouting contest between characters A and B.) Character B: "No but like– isn't friendship the benefits per se?! Why is it worded like there's no benefits unless it's sexual?!" Character A: "It's not that deep!"

#asexual #aromantic #pridemonth #aroace #shippingculture
A comic showing a dialogue between 2 characters. Character A is wearing a neutral outfit. Character B is wearing an outfit with colors of the aromantic-asexual flag. Character A: "Of course you're welcome here! Fandoms have always been a place of expression and connection for people who don't fit the norm, right? This is a safe space!" Character B: "Really? Thank you !" The viewpoint of the reader zooms in on character B as they keep talking. Character B: "Man, that's a relief... Typically, whether in or out of fandom, I have so much trouble finding places that give a voice and a face to people like me, instead of dismissing us as soon as we stop being relatable... Like, god, we get so little aspec representation as it is, and I've been so starved for any fan content or discussion that explores any of those characters in any way other than them kissing or fucking someone... Y'know?" The reader's viewpoint zooms out, revealing character A is now pointing a bazooka at character B, looking menacing. Character A: "I'm sorry, what was that?" Character B: "...Oh"

My partner's OK with the "gay" umbrella, meanwhile I'm mainly on board with either #asexual, or if need be "queer" or LGBTQ/LGBTQIA. That said "ace" is also kind of an umbrella technically, and afaik neither my partner or I use microlabels for ourselves much so... Diff'rent strokes ig!
#pridemonth
A comic showing two characters in asexual flag-colored outfits cuddling, with another nondescript character shouting "Gayyyyyy!" at them joyfully. Both of the cuddling characters laugh, but one of them is laughing more uncomfortably, and drags the laugh into a mumbled : "We're ace tho". An arrow pointing to this specific character reads: "The asexual diversity of being down for different umbrellas".

Partner 2: "Dinner first, please! I'm saving you for dessert." Cut to partner 2 nomming on partner 1's arm on their couch. Partner 1: "I wonder how many people also mean it more literally like that." Partner 2: "iunno" An arrow points to partner 2, saying in parenthesis: "likes casually nomming on me".

#asexual #pridemonth
A comic with narration. The narration starts with: "Stay what you will about porn bots and pop-ups..." It then cuts to a person wearing an asexual flag hoodie and a person wearing a neutral outfit, both recoiling from seeing something sudden on their phone and going "Whoa!" in surprise. The narration continues: "They do somehow bring me closer ot my fellow humans as a sex-repulsed asexual, 'cus it's one of those rare moments where most of us can relate to the discomfort of being spammed by sex." The two characters are seen clicking off whatever popped up, sighing in annoyance.

Why hello there #pridemonth I may be suffering through immigration limbo right now but I would never pass up an opportunity to be loud about my orientations

#aromantic #aspec
A comic where character A and character B are talking. Character A: "I don't get it... What is "love" in a romantic sense even supposed to be?
