You are one of my favorite people on tumblr, so it occurred to me to ask, well, who are YOUR favorite people on this hellsite?

hi!! aaaahhh anon this is the sweetest thing, i can’t believe im one of ur favorite people on this hellsite?? thanks, im honored!

okay so i love everyone that i follow (and honestly have grown fond of blogs/people i don’t even follow but who interact/reblog regularly, u guys are the best!) but some of my favorite people on here are:

@gaysarawat rahul is the BEST!! he’s such a kind, funny and interesting person and i genuinely enjoy talking to him every day, be it about ramking, perth and lay, the sea, Gay and Trans Shit... literally anything, there’s never a boring conversation with him! also he writes the best fanfics and is the #1 supporter of my dumb creative shit :’)

@anbudai yura is so great!! i love Love her art style, it’s just so cute and fun! whenever i see an art piece by her i lose my shit, they’re so good. she seems like such a thoughtful, funny and kind person and i hope we can talk more in the future!

@mikoshibas ayesha is so funny!! my #1 anime mutual (yes im basically calling u a dweeb... sorry). also fae makes the best moodboards, even though im not really into moodboards but they’re so nice to look at?? cool mutual 10/10 would keep if she remakes again

@e-femmes / @jaahmp3 (his art blog!) i absolutely love silver’s art and even if we don’t really talk or interact much, i always find their presence on my dash nice, we’ve been mutuals for i don’t even remember how long but they’re cool, have good opinions and his and their gf’s phillyverse is the best! go check out their art

@apollolovebot nada is one of my fave mutuals, i enjoy seeing her takes on comics on my dash, even when i don’t really know the characters i read them bc i know i’d probably agree if i knew more. she also makes the coolest edits!! and has a stellar taste in music!

@labontas chrissy has the best football opinions and i enjoy seeing her roast liverpool fans on twitter lmaoo she also has great taste in movies and i support her new interest in wrestling even though i have no idea what’s going on

@laytalay they make the best gifs and even just for the fact that they’re lay’s #1 fans and provide us with the content we need, they make it into this list!!

👥👀

we never talk abt futbol when we are both fans, CANCELLED!! also, anime on main? kinda cringe bro SKSJFJDJDJ no but ik we never interact but ily and ur PHILLYVERSE IS AMAZING, cant wait to hear more abt it🥺

[cherrysnax]

hope people chill out soon, your take was immaculate and actually the reason I followed you initially bc i am an adult who likes cartoons and little kid shows but also doesn't get in internet fights about them and thinks adults who do are... wild, for lack of a better term..

but!!! now I wanna know about your comic (???maybe its a comic not sure) that you've mentioned, I couldn't find a tag to search but do you mind sharing about it? tysm either way have a good one

hi nonnie!! first of all ty for the well wishes and compliments! i'm sure once all the jokes and the offense die down, people will be relatively normal again... i hope.. lets get into the meat of the ask under the cut

EDIT: this got long so if u just want the basic gist, go to the very end!

soooo my girlfriend @pokemonleague and i decided back in...2018? to make spidersonas due to our love of comics and the movie into the spiderverse, but since we're nerds that totally span out of control. it went from a fan rp with several spider-man themed characters to a completely original concept with new characters, our own setting, power system-- the works. it is about superheroes, so it might not be your thing. okay so first backstory stuff

it used to be called the phillyverse and if u go into the tag u might find some old art, but its all extremely outdated (and bad. im not the bessst artist). after some delegation we decided to start making it a comic (we spent YEARS debating it) and named the project around last year. its uh called Show Your Spine!

I'm the worst at describing things but we have like 3 whole seasons entirely plotted out so I can pull somethin like a pitch together: while the vigilantism is a core aspect, with the main overarching plot being a group of unlikely heroes, old and new banding together to stop their city from being overrun by the mob, supervillains, and other threats. it's really about finding love and community in a city at war and finding the strength to protect and nourish it. all the while unlearning all the shit the last generations have taught us, to stop us from perpetuating the cycle of hate... while also beating the shit outta some baddies

in short its abt cringe-fail women doing cringe-fail things lmaoo. its a like a superhero-action-soap opera taking place in the retro-futuristic city of Chesire Grove, new jersey.

in this world, there's people with powers called Augments, who are just like you and me but due to changes in their DNA due were born with the ability to manifest different abilities (think mutants or metahumans). the tension between augments and humans is a little.. high right now, but allegedly better than they've ever been before. It's a newish era of human-augment relations, for better or worse.

we have an ensemble cast, and we intend on taking the main characters from the ages of 16 to eventually 25. the characters are aging in real-time.

OKAY PLOT TIME: The first few arcs focus on a delinquent teenage girl, Leo, trying to find a cure for one of her best friends who has fallen ill after trying a new drug, by all means necessary. during her quest for it, she meets the elusive newer vigilante Spitfire, who had saved her once before. Despite a rocky start, the two start a mentor-mentee type thing, in hope that the other can help them find what they're looking for. For Leo, she's looking for info on the man who made the drug that's been killing people, desperate to make him reverse engineer it. For Spitfire, they're looking for Chesire Grove's longest-running protector: Nightingale, who has suddenly gone missing. Spitfire's a bit new in town but lucky for them, the kid knows the city like the back of their hand.

At the same time, a sheltered augment teen's life is changing, as her overly protective father has finally realized that keeping her inside wasn't protecting her at all. freshly enrolled in a school for STEM students, Bobbi (also known by his nickname Retro) has to learn how to navigate the world for the first time and solve the full mystery of her past, all while her powers are on the fritz.

there's so much to this world, and we're so excited to share it with everyone!! i tried to be pretty vague cause of spoilers, and like i said, bad with words

#show your spine! #long post #webcomics #oh! one more thing #i know ppl r tired of media with kids. me too #not that its bad im just 22 #the characters have literally grown with us and to reflect that they uh literally grow with the audience #this is a loooong comic and by the end of it the teen characters are in their mid twenties #and the adult main characters are also just as important to the plot as well. because of that a subject matter SYS is pointed YA audiencesl #if u wanna know anymore #please lemme know because i wanna talk about it so bad #SyS is very much looking at superheroes from the lense of marginalized pp #*ppl much like they were intended to be #n for ppl who like it short n sweet its batfam meets x-men but theyre black gay and the worst people you know

tried writing retro with she pronouns..... gender?

#he canonically uses all I just stick to him #but like #it’s nice #(unless ur a lesbian) just don’t call him a girl or a boy and he really doesn’t mind what u call him #*unless ur a butch lesbian #like he's woman-aligned enough to really be rocking with dykery but besides that... eh #retro voice: girl? boy? no... I’m a sonic fan #phillyverse #I guess

[cherrysnax]

internally I’m always like: wow I love the phillyverse I love all the individual arcs characters have, and how it begs the question what it means to be hero in ur community— for your community, puts the whole superhero vs vigilante vs cop debates under a microscope, see how characters try to end the cycle of abuse, and like all the carefully weaved plots, foreshadowing and stuff we have planned

me whenever someone expresses interest in it: uh there’s. girls.. they might have super powers :)

sorry ladies but this right here is what peak performance looks like

[cherrysnax]

hmm i feel like retro would start all of his chapters with a fact— whether they’re fun facts or not is to be determined

#because he’s a stupid geek like that #eris’ chapters would all start with a quote #like in cr*minal m*nds #and not literally all of their chapters/povs #im just thinking abt character voices and shit #retro is an infodumpwe #*infodumper and is pretty sarcastic and imaginative #his descriptions probably have a whole lot of really weird methaphors n shit #I feel like eri is more to the point when it comes to things #very emotional though— she tends to project #and so does retro but he uh can’t help but project... he’s an 😏empath #I feel like a lot of retros inner dialogue is going to be jokes that he agrees aren’t funny #even with third person I think it’s important to get their characterization thru #I wonder how that’s gonna be for leo our third main #but I’d have to ask chevy #phillyverse
