Screaming and punching the air bc that one comic I read recently was so god damn good and I genuinely would buy the OG art from it but alas i am to suffer as an RA and cannot afford to pay artists their worth 😔
When she saw you on a movie set covered in red hair dye and fake blood she smiled oddly enough
“Hiiii babe!” Jenna said happily. “Working I see? What cha doing trouble?”
You smiled. “Getting into trouble and working”. You said
Her new nickname for you is trouble
Because on the set of Wednesday you walked in wearing Jenna’s clothes covering yourself with face paint looking like a knock off of Freddy Krueger
And everyone gasped out of horror and Jenna laughed
And you got in trouble but Jenna protected you and said no one had a problem with you dressing up for fun
You always love when Jenna protects you
You had no idea how good it felt for Jenna to make you feel safe like she always does
She will show up to the movie set you’re filming at and bring you an iced coffee and a breakfast sandwich
Shes incredibly kind hearted and very thoughtful
When she does go shopping she looks around for a shirt you will like or shoes that are comfortable for you to walk around in
And sometimes she will borrow your headphones because yours are more comfortable on her ears
And she will even show you off with her hand in yours and introduce you as her girlfriend
And she’ll get all flustered and jealous if someone do try to flirt with you in front of Jenna oh believe me she will chew that person out. And put an arm around you to let that person you’re hers and you’re not a car that’s for sale

The Triptych of Terror comes to The Last Comic Book on the Left #comics #comicbooks #graphicnovel
The fevered minds behind The Last Podcast on the Left, Marcus Parks, Henry Zebrowski, and Ben Kissel, have once more joined unholy forces with Z2 Comics for a third tome in the The Last Comic Book on the Left series. Overflowing with stories equally heretic and hilarious, this new anthology has ensnared a new batch of writers and artists to conjure more macabre and profane sequential art inspired…
Hey all! Last year I played Echo, and by god has it stuck with me. From the story, art, characters, and generally just how naturally all the queer stuff felt during my time reading. I highly suggest anyone who had not played it yet to check it out, but be warned it is not for the faint of heart!
My and my partner made this playlist over the course of 4 months! It had 4 hours of songs that we tried to fit into vibes, characters, and themes. Here is my breakdown of what each song fits to.

-Vibes: You're Not Here, Theme of Laura, Space Song, Beyond Desolation (Bad Endings), dream (they do be dreaming), Serenity
Overall Very proud of the work we put in! A few songs didn't make the cut, but I am satisfied with the list we have. Four hours is a lot! Let me know if you wan individual explanations on why we put a song on the list.
I have a new story going up on Sunday and I'm stressing that it a.) isn't finished, b.) has no title, and c.) has no plot, just vibes
I'm not as concerned with C, because most of my stories don't have a discernable Plot, per se. They just are. Slice of life, I guess? Anyway. I'm frantically trying to get it done in time but we'll get there.
Scene: New Year's Eve 2024, last White House Trio party. They're cohosting with the President-Elect's kids, Jenna and Benjamin.
Teaser:
“Once you tried to tell us David is your assistant,” Nora points out. “But he's not invited to the party.”
Henry laughs. “David, who was overwhelmed with just us this morning? He'd hide under a table and not come out until the end of the party. He'll be much happier with Leo.”
“I swear I heard Leo refer to himself as ‘Grampy,’” June laughs. “He wants grandchildren so bad. Y’all better get on that,” she teases.
“Wedding first,” Henry starts to say, but Alex is quicker.
“We keep trying, but no baby yet,” he quips.
Nora cackles, June pulls a face, and Henry blushes. For their parts, Jenna and Ben just look vaguely uncomfortable.
There's more (currently sitting at 3500 words and more to come) but I really liked this bit and wanted to share.
Tagging friends who might want to share on Teaser Tuesday (or WIP Wednesday, or whatever day it is by you):
