Hey folks! Soooo I made a comic project about me and my partner's experience as a binational couple during the travel ban between Schengen countries and the US as a reaction to the pandemic, that lasted between early 2020 and late 2021... Since this is a topic very dear to me and I want to raise awareness for it. I submitted it as a contest piece for Belgian comic contest Prix Raymond Leblanc this year. Here are the 5 concept pages I made for it.
They've just made it public as one of the contestant projects today, so if you have Instagram and some time and motivation, it'd be a huge help if you could please leave a like on the post for it here! Likes don't actually affect if a project wins or not, but they can help guarantee an artist gets personalized feedback, which is always good.
Thanks so much in advance <3

What do we think, will we get Briar Valley Event somewhere in the future? And WILL WE SEE PRESENT PEEPAW ZIGVOLT? I wonder what Sebek meant that he looks older and I really wanna see Lilia and his relationship after retirement. What do you think?
god I hope so, I desperately want to see Briar Valley and whatever family member they throw at us. and if it's Baul I hope he's the exact same sprite but with, like, a mustache crudely pasted on. that's how he looks in my head and in my heart.
Tumblr media
my entire KINGDOM to see one or both of Sebek's parents though, they are the best characters in all of Twst and they haven't shown up even once. 😭 though I think I might prefer his dad, because 1) show me the noodley dentistman, and 2) Mrs. Z is such a mythical figure in my mind at this point that reality could never compare (w-what if she gets a canon design and she isn't a hundred feet tall and could crack the earth by flexing her thighs, how could I go on) (jk jk she's so great that I would love her no matter what) (but also...)
of course based on past Twst events if they go to Briar Valley it's just going to go basically like this:

tourists coming to maui when people are still finding bodies and trying to grieve their loved ones. shame on you. go back to where you came from. the community doesn't need your tourism right now. the place and people you treat as a novelty have just lost everything. they need time to recover and heal.

Do you ever think about how Fakir, after him and Ahiru finally broke everything that kept the town of Goldkröne in the ghostly hands of its writer, after they finally have some air of peace over the town finally being able to live in its intended early 2000s environment, that Fakir still feels at times like it's not real and that for a while he fears that if he closes his eyes it'll be back in Drosselmeyer's control. Like it just doesn't feel real to him during that first year of calm, until he feels the dull pain on his recovering hand injury and Ahiru who follows him without a pendant anywhere to be found.
He doesn't feel it's real, the calm finality of this town, but he makes sure to feel the scar on his hand. And he makes sure to hold the little duck and realize that she is who she has always been. Him and the town are finally living peacefully.
#dia talks#princess tutu#He probably starts planning on writing Ahiru into the world mayyybe like 3-4 months into his recovery#he doesn't know what a cell phone is yet but he sure as hell can look at a bookstore and ask for a notebook and pens#i bet that first year in Goldenkröne must be hell because trading deals bring all sorts of new things into the town#Just Fakir going “what the fuck is a scooter?? Wait what's a CAR---”#he ends up having to read a bunch of newspaper articles about “Goldenkröne booming in German tourism!”#Actually does he even know his country's name... Did they all even know they lived in Germany and not JUST a city????#Drosselmeyer would've really pulled one on them for only talking about the city and its outskirts and NOT the country it resided in#But let's assume they did know. Fakir would have to figure out so much has changed in 2002 Germany compared to whatever time they were in#My god just thinking about the thought of Fakir learning what a television is... or a radio for that matter has me howling internally#local amateur writer is put into a coma after hearing for the very first time german rapper Sido#alternatively: local amateur writer's brain explodes after hearing german Happycore artist Blümchen and dance pop group No Angels#ptutu spoiler#i know its a +20 old show but just in case people wanna watch it i love it enough to tag the post show headcanon#ptutu analysis#ptutu headcanon#ptutu post canon#Also sorry i keep jumbling between Goldkröne and Goldenkröne in the writing its 4 AM and the german part of my brain is a mess lmao#(its supposed to be Goldkröne but for some reason I keep making it into the attribute word Golden so dont mind the mistake)#(if you do i will sob please be gentle towards my polyglot self)

Yes, touring the world would be a good thing to do. But I would rather prefer exploring the curves and adoring the shape of her body - with my eyes, hands and mouth. A repeated tourist spot, I can never get enough of. Only ticket and passport needed is lust & love, both are in plenty...

Guess I need to vent about this still because I see literally no one talk about it and I still need to process is and this is as good a place as any
My partner (US citizen) and I (French citizen) wanted to watch Glass Onion as our New Year’s Eve movie on our last remote-date-over-the-computer of the year.
Except Glass Onion starts with US people going to Greece for fun “during the pandemic”, a time where not only Greece would be full of cops enforcing lockdown or restrictions which I didn’t see shit of in the movie, but also, and especially... Back then, Greek people, just like a lot of people from European countries, were banned from entry to the US as a follow-up to COVID-19 restrictions.
From March 2020 to November 2021, Greek people, alongside a lot of European people, were banned from entry to the US, and for a good amount of that time US people could just go to those countries whenever they felt like for fun.
I was unable to visit my partner for almost 2 years due to that, and my partner couldn’t come visit me as much, despite coming from “the right side” that WAS allowed to come in, because they didn’t have as many days off.
Glass Onion didn’t address that for shit, made the destination some kind of punchline I guess, triggered a huge trauma and left us both crying for hours on New Year’s Eve before we could even press on.
I’m sure this movie has a ton of great things, like gay rep, power dynamics across races, and other things that it probably addressed brilliantly because it mattered to US audiences. But it also basically spat on the heartbreak and hardship of millions of Europeans during the pandemic, didn’t give a shit and didn’t address it for shit, and I can’t forgive it, or anyone from the US who IS in a position to address this but doesn’t, and is the reason so many US people don’t even know that cruel, overly-long ban was a thing.
...So yeah for your culture ig
I’ll go back to posting ace comic soon I promise, I just needed this out of my system

BL is definitely Thailand's soft power because this year we got the BL ad for Sripatum University, skincare company Devonte296 creating an entire BL series The Promise to promote its products, and the government-sponsored series Y Journey: Stay Like a Local to encourage (queer) tourism.
Now we have the private beach hotel Demi Beach Concept releasing a two-episode BL, Love on Lo, just to advertise its property.

Listen Jonas Quinn from Kelowna is such a normal fucking person. That is not an alien! That is a man in his early 20s from Kelowna, British Colombia, Canada, who gives longboard tours of Ogopogo sightings around the Okanagan!

Swindle is a fantastic character archetype who’s engaging in just about every continuity. A low-down dirty no-good rotten cheating stealing worm is fun to read, write and watch, which makes it all the more baffling when people get him so, so wrong in fics
