It's my 10 year web comic anniversary!!
10 years ago this month, after the first TTDW trailer came out, I made a silly little fan comic and sent it to the MCU facebook page (that only had like idk 100,000 or so followers at the time cause noone outside the mega geeks knew the term MCU yet) and for some godforsaken reason they actually posted it, and it got like 1000 likes, which was an unfathomably big number to teen me at the time.
A few months later I made a deviantart, where people found me because they recognised that first comic. A little later still, I made a tumblr too, which over the years rose to be my most popular account. (Thank you reblog button and tag reader, I owe you my life)
In 2017, disillusioned with the franchise, its lost purpose, the american superhero genre as a whole and the hard limits it puts on its characters' development to keep them eternally stagnant in their roles rather than let them grow, as people (let alone superhuman ones) should, I broke up with that fandom and finished my last begrudging long form fan comic two years later.
Lacking a lasting muse/self-insert, I dabbled in some other fandoms, and after one of my One Piece AUs got out of hand, and out of character, I figured I might as well make it its own thing. In 2021 I finally started my first long form original comic! @somethingaboutlemonscomic Check it out!
This time I was not beholden to anyone else's canon, let alone that of the cishet men whose fandoms I'd previously frequented. I didn't have to survive on scraps of queerbait, on lazy, generalising labels by uninformed non-queer writers trying to shoehorn their previously cishet characters into being something more than that rather than actually represent us, on broken promises of canonisation left on the cutting room floor as if it was something trivial, on character design that didn't reflect the reality I saw in my community.
I didn't need to limit my characters to the ignorance and status quo of others anymore. I could actually represent the glorious mess that is my community in all its diversity and complexity and humour and beauty and limit breaking potential for change.
And so I did.
And I am barely getting started.

Just a heads up, I put a few copies of the first volume of City of Cards up on my Etsy shop! (there's other cool stuff there too check bio for link >>)
City of Cards is the story of Plato, a former wrestler haunted by his past mistakes, and Ace, the person Plato loves more than anything— an amnesiac literally haunted by ghosts.
Together with their friends, they keep each other going despite the burden society places on them.
It’s a story of love and hope in the darkest of times.

Earth and Cora 6 were close planets to eachother but at some point a 50 year war started between them
The war eventually came to an end thanks to the planets ruler Alaric magne who entirely blew up earth. Is this really the end for humanity tho?
First of all I am not a professional artist, I’m just a random highschooler so please don’t expect perfect art or writing and a good uploading schedule this is also just a beta verison for the story, I’m planning to make it more professionally as an actual graphic novel or a series in the future which is why criticism is always welcomed and is very important
You can read the full webcomic below but first here’s some other places you can go and support it! Of course just liking it here will be enough but if you wanna:

Content warnings: death, murder, weapons (mostly sci-fi ones), parental death, world ending, cartoony-looking gore
