Shubh Diwali, friends. We hope your homes and hearts are lit with happiness and prosperity!

2025 marks the first year that the US state of Connecticut has officially recognized Diwali as a state holiday. That’s one more light in the dark~
A little birdie says...we're back?!

MBB is finally returning to posting on Tapas Early Access RIGHT NOW with public access and website updates returning 11/14.

Healing is slow but it's happening so we're getting the ball rolling! Thanks for sticking with us, everyone~
Our friend E.M. is an excellent queer writer. If you want very human, intimate stories with diverse casts, E.M totally delivers. We're really looking forward to this one!

Keeper of Lonely Spirits is already out now, just saying~*hint hint nudge nudge*

An important update on the state of the comic for folks wondering about the current hiatus.

I promise we're doing our best to navigate these issues and return to creating the story we love.
Happy birthday, Aaron Serge!

I see this coming in Ed and in the arts, and why I wanted to make this statement for my students in the face of the university investing millions in ai that in my experience neither students nor professors want… bsky.app/profile/nsou...
My statement on Ai from the mini-comic as syllabus i made for new class I'm teaching that starts tomorrow! It robs you of your decisions & struggles - and the joy of being surprised. We won’t to be robbed of our learning - this is essential. This & the full mini at post:

Heck yeah zines. We highly encourage ya'll to make your own too :)
You'll probably have to blow it up or look at this on a big screen, but here is how anyone can make a little 8 page zine that they can use to write a story, write about their favorite things, a personal experience or make a mini comic. Fold some paper and get your thoughts out there!!
This one's for the demisexual gays out there~
Good luck to everyone @flamecon this year! For the first time in nine years, we aren't attending and it's certainly a strange feeling not to be there!

Still, if you'd like to see us and you're in the CT area, we'll be at @theenchantedviolet.bsky.social in just a few hours from 2pm to 6pm EST~
Aw shucks, the all caps O. Glad you like it! ☺️
The true nature of a Familiar~
Hope this isn't too impertinent a question but where do you get your boxes from? We'd love to look at more eco friendly solutions!
When times get tough, we try to remember
The family drama of it too, the real sense of otherness that Gene clearly struggles with- yeah, definitely a special story worth recommending. Rumspringa is fantastic, of course, but Gene is truly something else!
Dear Gene seriously made me cry. It was so heartfelt and genuine and it's so incredibly rare to feature a relationship that runs the gamut from friends to lovers to something not quite defined. Just beautiful <3
I've been just about the only person my age who remembered Dragons for the longest time which is such a shame because it's a lovely film. Super happy to see folks talking about it!
That last post being a thinly veiled attempt to acquire recommendations from ya'll. Throw your favorites our way! Fill our que with comics!
What are we reading this summer?

@mokmok-len.bsky.social 's The Summer Hikaru Died, @losthiskeysman.bsky.social's Washington's Gay General, and our very good friend @pameladraws.bsky.social's beautiful Como Termina la Canciőn.

Horror, history, romance- all incredible stories worth checking out!
Hot dang, does this show deliver everything I'd hoped it would. You are so right in that it feels like an early 00s anime- unhinged, tenderly crafted, and not afraid to do something different.

I was unsure of the pacing differences but now that ep 2 is out, I'm loving it. A+++ adaptation
QRP with your Header Art!!

This one's a classic I put out for Free Comic Book Day many moons ago and I still love it <3
Making comics, making comics, fa la la~
He's baaaaack!

The grumpiest of platypuses, Loom, is finally back in stock in our online shop~ Support a small business AND sport a big mood ;)
