Years ago, Thorn did something terrible that tore his gang of outlaws apart. Now after 50 years he might have finally found a way to make things right- and a way to save his ex-almost boyfriend/situationship.

In Search Of Analogue Days
Diana, a 45 year old trans woman, has lost sight of her passion for photography until she finds herself, LITERALLY, in an old film camera from her childhood.

A queer & cozy slice-of-life comic. Laid Back Camp meets Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou!
#DVPit #GN #LGBT #TV #MR

Character lineup for "In Search of Analogue Days". "Diana Ying" is a thin older woman with greying brown hair and thick glasses. She's wearing a long pink cardigan with a white top, light blue pants and purple slip on shoes. She's holding a tiny camera in one hand. The pride flag beside her is the asexual flag with the trans and POC triangle on top. "Aidan Ryan" is a teen boy who's questioning his pronouns and gender. He's got short brown hair with bangs, and is wearing a simple white button up, a belt and black slacks. The pride flag beside him is the Questioning flag.

The Curse Eater
When the country’s headmaster is cursed by an amulet, Vasilios volunteers to search for The Curse Eater. Rumours say this person is immune to all magic, including curses and could be the key to saving the country.

The Curse Eater comic page done in black and white with halftones. We see a fairly well maintained dirt road with various types of trees and vegetation on either side. The sound effects "CLK CLK" can be seen while a roof of a caravan comes into view. As it gets closer, we can see two people in the distance. One is riding a bike that's pulling the caravan and the other is sitting atop a floating staff. The two are making their way down the road together.

The Curse Eater comic page done in black and white with halftones. Salvator has stopped peddling his bike and is shading his eyes while looking to the left. Vasilios is in the foreground looking annoyed. He swerves his staff around and looks angrily at Sal saying "Why are you stopping?". Sal is thinking and ignoring Vasilios, then picks up a bag from the front of his caravan. He pulls out a black notebook stuffed with papers and bookmarks. Vasilios continues to look annoyed as Sal ignores him while checking his notes.

The Curse Eater comic page done in black and white with halftones. Salvator points to a small path between the trees and says "We need to head down this way." While Vasilios becomes more and more annoyed, while lecturing Sal and saying "Salvator, you know we have a very important job to do for the headmaster. We don't have TIME for sightseeing!" Salvator doesn't acknowledge the lecture and blankly responds "I remember." as he puts his satchel away into his caravan. He starts peddling his bike forward while saying "But we need to go here first." and Vasilios looks utterly shocked, but follows behind, sitting on his floating staff, with a frown on his face.

The Curse Eater comic page done in black and white with halftones. An establishing shot from a bird's eye view of a clearing in the forest with a small rundown cabin. The grass and weeds are overgrown around it with moss growing over the cabin and parts of the wood decaying. Salvator and Vasilios make their way towards it. Salvator says "Vasilios, before we go in I need to borrow one of your hats, a pair of glasses, and the fanciest looking gloves you have." Vasilios looks annoyed by the request but starts to get his pack out and replies "Just that? Nothing else I can do for his Most Knowledgeable of the Grandest Understandings?" While Sal has now donned a hat, removed his coat, and is putting his hair up he continues "Actually can you make my cart look like it belongs to The University?" The camera pans out to show Sal in the foreground pulling a pair of fancy gloves on, he's wearing one of Vasilios' hats and mini cape while Vasilios puts a magic sheet over Salvator's caravan, we can see the magic working through the sheet as it disguises part of the caravan to look bright and fancy with fantasy text on the side.

Trying to think of more but I genuinely haven't seen a lot of /good/ werewolf movies

Late Phases - blind veteran moves into a seniors home just as people start turning up torn to pieces by an animal

Werewolves (helpful title)- the supermoon turned billions of people into werewolves and now people are trying to come up with a cure before the next supermoon (werewolf purge basically)

Her Canadians, we're no stranger to calling and getting our way.

Blow up your local MPs phone and tell them that all of adult society shouldn't be the ones raising kids- their parents should be. Punishing us all because they can't manage their kids is a violation of our freedoms
