hey, i made a terrible comic instead of working #makeaterriblecomicday2025

panel 1: a person is pointing on a bed where cats are lying in a way that leaves a vaguely human outline in the middle, saying "this is my hole!! it was made for me!!
panel 2: a twisted shape of a person lies on the bed, screaling silently as the cats sleep peacefully in random positions

SHOALING
🐚🌊🌊🌊

from SUPERPOSE ⛓️

a loose and colourful illustration of a sandbar in a shallow, teal sea, under the bulbous rolling tower of a nimbus cloud in a blue summer sky. the water is shallow and clear enough that the sandy bottom peeks through the foam and patterns of waves-- populated with crops of seaweed, shells, starfish. seaweed and shells are washed up onto the exposed sand. in the centre, a young trans man appears to have been washed up onto the sandbar like flotsam, lying flat on his stomach, his long hair mixed into the sand, seaweed clinging to him, his legs stretching back into the water where the waves seem wanting to reclaim him. a small wave is breaking behind him, strangely, white water surging up into the air. he is awake, face partially hidden by his arms, his eyes peering up at the young child standing over him, casting a short noontime shadow. the kid's footprints in the sand expose an intent to meet him, but it's not clear from where they wandered, or how long either of them have been here.

a section of the image, close-up, cropped in on the blue, cyan waves rolling over one another and moving in to embrace the sandbar.

another close crop of the image. this time it's on the trans boy, Rafael. he's looking up bleary-eyed at the child (unseen in this crop) and tinged with some kind of unplaceable melancholy.

first spell

one-page comic, black and white and grayscale
panel 1 : close up of a woman's hand, wearing rings, on an old spellbook page
panel 2 : same woman's hands conjuring some black fire
panel 3 (big) : woman sitting on the floor where a pentagram is drawn, with skulls and candles, while a tiny demon with horns seems to jump out of the spellbook right on her legs, visibly very happy
the woman's wearing converse-like shoes, jeans, a tope revealing her shoulders (and a big tatto on the left one), she has a choker necklace and hair loosely tied into a messy bun
text : Look. There's never a perfect time to cast your first spell. Especially as a self-taught witch. Reckless ? Sure. But the truth is... I needed a friend."

hey here's something I would love us all to do like RIGHT NOW: find out if your local library is doing any kind of pride programming or display, and if they are, email them to say thank you and why it matters to you. whether or not you're queer. especially if you're in an area where it's fraught
