Oh yeah while I'm here you all should read What Happens Next.

#What Happens Next #Maximum Graves #It doesn't only or even primarily take place on Tumblr those were just the most relevant draws. #... except emotionally. Emotionally it absolutely 100% takes place basically entirely on Tumblr. #I think there are three rough categories of What Happens Next readers -- #those who never really recognize the forum. those who recognize the forum by the end of the panel #and those who recognize the forum from the thread title alone. #(I'm in the second category.) #This comic made me wonder how the bone-stealing witch was doing enough to look up the local news articles from the time. #Retrospring link contains the characters' Homestuck kin info. #What Happens Next comic

I did a video reading the third chapter of Maximum Graves' webcomic What Happens Next out loud and giving the characters silly voices.

Patreons I Support

Between the impending Twitter collapse, the growth of unethical AI applications in creative spaces, and [gestures broadly at the world], I’m trying to more regularly uplift the art and artists I admire—and in this case, materially support. 

Many folks are familiar with Patreon. If you’re not, Patreon is a membership platform that allows creatives to earn a monthly income and deliver rewards to their subscribers. Ko-fi, Buy Me a Coffee, and Memberful are similar alternatives. 

A lot of Patreon creators offer tangible perks but personally, even if they didn’t, I would still patronize them! Below are the Patreons I currently back:

Kelly Turnbull

https://www.patreon.com/coelasquid/

I’ve been a fan of Kelly Turnbull’s work for over a decade, starting with her webcomic Manly Guys Doing Manly Things and then everything I’ve seen from her since. Turnbull is an animation director, cartoonist, and remarkable storyteller. I’m not familiar with most of the media she makes fan comics for and I still adore all of it; her capacity to convey complex character relationships is a masterclass in dialogue writing and visual narrative. If I ran a major animation studio I would give her an absurd amount of money and tell her to do literally whatever she wanted, that is how strongly I feel about her work.  

Marlowe Lune’s Merry Blackbird Postcard Society

https://www.patreon.com/marlowelune/

Marlowe Lune is an illustrator of very trans historical and fantasy subjects. Their art style is stunning, unique, and thoughtfully researched, and subscribing to their Patreon comes with the perk of regular postcards of their prints. My partner and I have a lot of Lune’s art up around our house, and though we cannot put up anymore lest our abode just become a Marlowe Lune tribute gallery, I remain subscribed because I’m a big fan of what they do and the postcards make great gifts. 

max graves

https://www.patreon.com/maximumgraves/

I read the webcomic What Happens Next earlier this year and immediately went and subscribed to graves’ Patreon because it’s that fucking brilliant. It's an ingenious exploration of queer victim culture and (absence of) accountability and true crime and so much more. One of the main characters is a trans guy who was an accomplice to a murder but won’t delete his My Little Pony tumblr. There’s actually no explanation I can give of WHN that will convey how remarkable it is so you should just go read it. This comic is really special and I’m really looking forward to seeing where graves goes with it and what he creates in the future. 

Possum Creek Games

https://www.patreon.com/possumcreek/

If you’re a fan of even one Possum Creek Games title (I am a fan of many) or indie tabletop roleplaying games writ large, supporting the Possum Creek Games Patreon is some of the best money you could possibly spend. It gets you access to the wonderful community that is the PCG discord, some behind the scenes stuff, first looks/early access to games, and some really thoughtful more academic-type writing about ttrpgs and storytelling from their Editorial Director, Jay Dragon. Possum Creek is a strong positive force in the indie ttrpg scene and I really appreciate their generative, nuanced, and people-first approach to everything. 

Snake Discovery

https://www.patreon.com/snakediscovery/

Snake Discovery is an educational reptile YouTube channel (and now zoo). There are a lot of deeply unethical animal content creators and so I appreciate that the people behind the channel, Ed and Emily, are thoughtful, transparent, and very specific about standards of care. I really love reptiles but do not presently have one or plan to have one in my care any time soon, so I enjoy living vicariously through the dozens of videos of baby snakes they share each year.  

There are other wonderful creators out there whose work I greatly admire but unfortunately I cannot support infinite Patreons. If you love an artist’s work and you have the means, I strongly encourage you to find a way to regularly support what they do, whether that’s via Patreon or some other means.

[stefisdoingthings]

people are designing modern manga characters thinking they should be animator friendly/not too complex/coherent,,,,,,,

meanwhile Nightow in the 1990s:

i want to say that they help my delusions but i fear that they only cause more. love you babes!!!!!

i think i made vash a little too cheeky (ass) because he's probably incredibly flat

As Vash's journey ends...

He thinks of all the "tough and tender days" that have passed. Every life that's touched his. Every face.

But for Wolfwood?

His grave.

It makes me wonder that—yes, Wolfwood's death is fresh in his mind—but also, what does it mean to picture a gravestone and not the face of someone you wanted to spend your tomorrows with? Does it mean you're saying goodbye not only to the person, but to the days you would have spent together?

Because SPOILERS AHEAD: Legato and Knives both notice Vash isn't expecting to come out of this alive, and he doesn't care.

He was ready for pain, for betrayal, for loss while arriving at the Ark, sure, but this time? It's over. Vash has said his goodbyes directly (to Meryl) and mentally (with the flashback slideshow). He's ready to not be a part of the world anymore. He literally thinks, "My journey ends."

It puts in perspective how Vash doesn't speak Wolfwood's name after his death; to picture Wolfwood's face, to picture him alive again... that's too painful. And that might distract him from finishing this.

#“but anna wolfwood is dead that's why we only see his grave—” we see REM the gung ho guns (vash even buried a few of them) #wolfwood's death is fresh but to not picture his face? #like even his face is too painful to think of #trigun bookclub #trigunbookclub #my post #vashwood #trigun maximum spoilers

Thinking about billy in injustice.

Maybe because he died while in his powered form he got kind of stuck between the living and the dead and now just wanders as a monument to the horrors of supermans regime.

I think he would be angry at first, angry at superman for killing him, angry at himself for being involved in the regime but he would be incredibly sad too, he would mourn his life and the choices he made that lead to his death, but eventually he would also be proud of how he listened to Harleys advice and stood up to superman and kickstarted the beginning of the end for the regime.

all of those posts from earlier just to leave this tiny little post-vol 10 fic teaser for wip wednesday:

Vash wanted to spend his tomorrows with him. Vash's heart was a gaping maw, empty and void and cold. Vash hiccuped, bloody tears rolling down his cheeks. He was - he - Vash sobbed, pouring his grief into the ever-present connection he had with his brother, the one bond Vash had never truly managed to sever.
