A magical boy in a dress, Basil, is locked in combat with Aaron- a magical boy in a knight ensemble. There are two magical girls to either side of them- Riley in a red skirt holding a hammer to the upper right and Sanjeet in a sheer purple skirt and purple and white leotard. The text reads Magical Boy Basil.

Happiest of birthdays to one of my favorite queer fiction writers, AK! Their stories are certainly darker than MBB but no less hopeful. If you like urban fantasy (that's very gay), check them out, they're wonderful ☺️

It's my birthday, hurrah! For my birthday I'd really love as many shares on this post as we can make happen!

Hi, I'm AK, and I write exceedingly queer books! Feel free to ask me about them!

Happy valentine's day, friends! 💖
A horizontal illustration featuring two magical boys kissing on a balcony in Tanglewood Manor. Basil, left, pulls Aaron in by the front of his cape and Aaron, right, is happy to let him. They are softly illuminated by the light through the tall window in the background.

We couldn't do this without you guys so here's to another year of magical boys!

It's the end of the year so here's a lovely little overview of our illustrations of 2025! The middle of the year was a bit...something for me because of everything going on in my life, but I think I brought the magic back eventually~

Looking forward to another year of art! Create your hearts out!

It's #MeetTheWebcomic day (thanks for the prompt #ComixCleric !)

Magical Boy Basil is about the new queer kid in town, Basil, finding out he- and the popular kids at school- are all secretly magicians! Chaos, friendship, and romance ensues all while Basil tries balancing his own very personal grief
A comic page featuring two magical boys fighting. Basil has grabbed Aaron's sword with gloved hands to force him to stop his fiery blow. A comic page featuring Noah explaining how magic works as he transfers certain magical traits from an antique camera to Eli's glasses. Basil and Loom the purple platypus are there too. A comic page featuring Basil, Noah, Eli and Loom trying not to get frozen by a magical tangle that looks like a rabbit. A dramatic comic page featuring a car monster chomping down on main character Basil after he gets caught in some magical threads.

Chag sameach, everyone! We hope this second night finds you well. Regardless of if you celebrate Chanukah, may there be light and hope for you in the days to come 🕯
A holiday illustration of an interfaith family, the Caraways, lighting their menorah on the eighth night of Chanukah. There is a frame of star of Davids surrounding the family who is framed within a window. Clary, the father (who wears Christmas attire), holds Basil up to light the menorah. His wife Rosemary stands to the right smiling and behind Basil and Clary is Basil's brother Mace, who is also smiling. The style is very paper craft-esque and colorful with many different patterns throughout.

An night-time illustration of two boys, Basil and Aaron, sitting around a small lantern on the top of a dark hill. Below on the lower right is a view of the town far away. Above is a starry sky with two fake constellations lined lightly in blue- a cat head and a platypus head side by side, Spindle and Loom respectively.

A clip of a comic panel. Three teens are waiting and pacing at the left hand side of the panel in what appears to be a slightly run down garden at golden hour. There's a fancy, empty fountain in the center.

Happy birthday, Noah Vaughn! Tanglewood's most mysterious magician~☆
A traditional illustration featuring a magical enby, Noah, to the center right. He/they are wearing a green Peter pan-like ensemble and are holding a wooden thyrsus. Around him is a border of daffodils with a wooden ring featuring carved maple leaves in the lower left hand corner and the same wooden thyrsus staff acting as the right hand side border of the image.
