angel uses the theoretical framework of sociological haunting in "SPECTRAL SAVAGES & SETTLER FETISHES : on fandom, fujoshis, & frontier psychosis," to go looking for the sublimated ghosts of a missing people in fandom’s most beloved and depraved archetypes.
angel is a two-spirit artist, aberrant, and arbiter of the dark fantastic.

Elle Shivers' comic "BOYS TOYS" is a comic/visual essay about the chain links between three main ideas: being a trans fujoshi in the Global South, giant robots, and the sexualization of American military aesthetics. Follow at @tamingservice.bsky.social or on elleshivers.com!
Elle is a genderqueer Filipino-American writer, comic artist, and illustrator based in the Philippines. Sometimes condescending, always sincere, never unaccountable. A lover of science fiction and men. BOYS TOYS is a matryoshka doll in the form of a comic/visual essay about the chain links between three main ideas: being a trans fujoshi in the Global South, giant robots, and the sexualization of American military aesthetics. There is a transformation fantasy at the core of highly militaristic mecha/giant robot media, and this can correlate with how we imagine ourselves as trans and queer people in a highly globalized and hetero-patriachal world. A hetero-patriarchal world, which is aesthetically invested in the power fantasies that military and warfare conjures in the public cultural imagination, and in our investment in niche categorizations.

Next is A.C. Esquerra! Their comic will be about their change from a sexually repressed queer youngling into an out, nonbinary artist, a mid-2010s YaoiCon veteran and, in the BDSM community, a Dominant/top/Prince. You can follow them @blueludebar.com and at blueludebar.com
A.C. is a nonbinary Asian American comics artist and creator of award-winning 1930s pilot yaoi, Eighty Days (Archaia, 2021). They will continue throwing fantasy, history and sci-fi in a blender until morale improves or they die. They enjoy stationery, alternative fashion and feeding the local crows. “The Prince” is an experimental ink + collage comic-memoir about how Laurent of Vere from C.S. Pacat’s Captive Prince transformed me from a sexually repressed queer youngling into an out, nonbinary artist, a mid-2010s YaoiCon veteran and, in the BDSM community, a Dominant/top/Prince.

Introducing our first comic artist: Max Banshees! Max will be writing (and illustrating) about Pathologic and global online fan spaces with the comic-essay "FRAGMENT EATERS." You can follow Max here @maxbanshees.bsky.social and see more work at maxbanshees.com
Max Banshees is a cartoonist and illustrator who has a love-hate relationship with the videogame Pathologic. It causes them to write an impassioned essay every two years or so. Why do fandoms exist, how do fans socialize with each other in global online spaces, and what different purposes do fanworks serve? The comic-essay “FRAGMENT EATERS” introduces readers to concepts from philosophy, linguistics, and fan studies that are relevant to these questions, and then uses them to make sense of how a game’s fandom changed after a popular video essay was made about it.
