I’m Your Man

He’d killed a man fifty iles back, Vash pretending not to have heard the gunshot, but long before that, he’d wanted.

Sometimes the best part about being an artist is being able to do art for your own fics

Usually I would have done the paper sketch larger on the next page but I liked what I had so I just. Cut and pasted bits of it into procreate and lined from there

if you're transgender or you care about transgender people and you live in the US, you need to vote.

all those 1000+ anti trans legislation that have been introduced these past three years have not stopped, and they aren't going to just stop. they might not affect you now, but they will if republicans win the presidency and the majority in the house and senate. federal laws will be passed. that is their goal. their goal is to eradicate us.

it is February of 2024, and there have already been 495 anti trans bills considered. there were 588 total in 2023. this cannot go under the radar.

talk about this. VOTE this November.

do not be complicit in your eradication

#i dont fucking care what brain dead moral high ground youve climbed up to somehow believe NOT voting #will do anything but let this country continue its nose dive into fascism #if you do not vote in these elections come november there will be blood on your hands #anyone who tells you otherwise is a fascist boot licker #i dont care #vote #2024 elections #transgender #anti trans legislation #us politics #possum.txt

Normally Sanji is the most put together person between him and Luffy. He’s probably the most put together person on the entire crew besides Robin. Meanwhile Luffy is a walking disaster, chaos is naturally drawn to him and he’s ALWAYS getting into trouble. When it comes to their actual romantic relationship tho. It’s COMPLETELY flipped lmao

Luffy will walk out on deck with his hair slightly tousled and his vest a bit askew but that’s normal for him. He looks smug as hell but that’s also normal for him. Nobody bats an eye. Then Sanji comes tumbling out of the galley. Shirt untucked and buttoned up the wrong way, hair thoroughly ruffled, clothes rumpled, looking utterly fucking disheveled. His nose is bleeding, he’s stumbling like he’s drunk and his neck is covered in hickies. Everyone on deck proceeds to lose their goddamn MINDS

#Sanji tries to tell them he was ‘attacked’ but then Luffy goes ‘Yeah by me ;))))’ and Sanji promptly gives up #Usopp: Dude you’re a mess. I’ve never seen you this unkempt before #Sanji: I. Listen. #Luffy: 😋 #Sanji: DON’T LOOK SO PROUD OF YOURSELF THIS IS YOUR FAULT #Luffy: I take full responsibility and I WILL be doing it again!!!! #Sanji: NFJSNFNSNCNSNCNSN #Lusan #Sanlu #One Piece #Sanji #Luffy #Shima speaks #Just reminding you all where my heart lies. In case you didn’t know already tee hee <3 #I love the contrast between how they are normally and how they are when they’re intimate #AKA Sanji’s a fucking mess after Luffy gives him any kind of affection and Luffy is fully unbothered #Sanji getting overwhelmed at any physical affection makes me ill actually. #Luffy knows that he’s doing smth right when Sanji’s nose starts bleeding LMAO #Luffy: Cool!! I’m glad Sanji’s enjoying it :D #Meanwhile Sanji’s brain is fried. He can’t even articulate. LMAO #Idk what it is about them!! They’ve changed me!! They awakened something in me………jfjdnnd

I know it's fiction but it makes absolutely no sense for the batfam not to have any significant (visible) scars/disabilities at all. They get beat up nightly for years on end. They leap over buildings all the time, they've never fucked up their knee? Knees are so easy to fuck up and difficult to fix. Dick is an acrobat, they have notoriously bad joint health and at his age he shouldnt be able to pull off half the shit he does. Absolutely ridiculous they have no scars or brain damage. THEY DONT WEAR HEAD PROTECTION OF ANY KIND. They're getting punched in the face, thrown off of buildings etc etc ALL THE TIME. No brain damage?? No CTE??? Not even missing teeth?? Give me a fucking break.

#honestly im sure its mostly bc of the weird insistence that Only Villains Can Have Scars #which is. so stupid. #i have beef w most fighters in media bc they NEVER HAVE HEAD PROTECTIONZ #despite the fact that your skull is so important & also a major target for any opponent #like even barring the obvious protection from. yknow. brain damage. did Bruce never get cps calls bc his kids always have black eyes #and broken noses? #being an athlete/gymnast from a young age FUCKS UP your body. ig id just like to see an acknowledgement of that #well jason wears a helmet but ig he learned from his mistakes. lol #also why i like dukes helmet (training arc one not. wtv he has now.) #ig the cowl MIGHT count as head gear. but robins dont get shit huh. #dc #batfam #dc comics #jason todd #duke thomas #dick grayson #damian wayne

So because I've seen it compared to Worm, I started reading The Boys by Garth Ennis. It's bad! Like really bad! It feels like what would happen if you let an edgy anti-feminist atheist youtuber from 2015 write a comic book. I finished the first volume of the omnibus in large part because it was a train wreck I couldn't look away from, and am debating starting the second since I hate myself. The most interesting parts are actually the little forewords. Through them I learned both that it was supposed to be a comedy, and also a critique of the military industrial complex/police (or at least that people read it as one). This was surprising to me since it is neither funny nor incisive. Anyway, now I want to ramble incoherently about my problems with it because this goddamn comic broke my brain.

Okay, so one of the most common ways it shows you which characters you aren't supposed to like is by having them do comically "gross" sex stuff. Notable examples include cocaine fueled orgies, mentions of shitting during sex, bestiality, masturbating in public to the sight of disabled people, and a little person using sex toys. One that shows up repeatedly in this context is characters being bisexual or gay. Now, I don't wanna get controversial, but I think any claims that your work is a critique of capitalism, police, the military, or whatever are rendered moot when your villains are a group of secret hedonistic sex-freaks. Like we can't pretend that doesn't sound a lot like regressives and their obsession with "degeneracy". Sexual assaults, misogyny, and slurs also appear pretty often, mostly as the punch line for jokes. Victims are rendered down into objects and denied any sense of interiority so we can instead focus on what really matters (gore porn, and middle school 4chan posters' sense of humor). Never once does Ennis deign to explore the actual impact and trauma of these things, or ask why he views these things as material for jokes.

That incuriosity is I think the real problem with The Boys. There is no actual coherent thought about why things are bad. Superheroes hurt people and are wrong because of their personal moral failings as selfish perverts, not because their whole job is to violently enforce the will of the state. It's like if someone agreed that all cops are bastards, but only because all cops just so happened to be "bad apples". The main characters literally work for the fucking CIA, and yes, I know the titular Boys are at best meant to be anti-heroes a la the Punisher. My issue here isn't that they're hypocrites who are frequently also horrible. It's that this premise for is absolute nonsense if you think for half a second. Superheroes do not function without the legitimacy granted to them by the state and it's monopoly on violence, so why would the CIA need these 5 randos with zero oversight working to take out the supers? Is the force Homelander and the others can bring to bear so great that even the apparatus of that state can't deal with them? If so, why does this group of assholes change that? Normally I'd be willing to give the story a lot more of a pass when it comes to questions like this, except I'm being told that this story has things to say about systemic problems involving the government and corporations! So I have to ask, where? Where is the commentary? What does it actually have to say about the state of the world circa 2006-2012? The only answer I can come up with is "not a whole lot". It's a story which dares to ask the tough questions like "what if the world was made of pudding" and then ignore answering those questions so it can instead recite Ellis' favorite slurs in alphabetical order while showing you a woman's tits.

On a lighter note, it's also just not very good. The plot (as mentioned) falls apart under any amount of scrutiny, pacing is bizarre in a bad way, the characters aren't compelling, themes remains stubbornly unexplored, and Ellis is allergic to doing anything interesting or creative with the premise he's decided to base a whole comic around. I genuinely do not know what people enjoy(ed) about this comic.

#It's a thoroughly unpleasant experience on about every level #There was actually one moment I liked #and it was when the frenchman and the female (those are their names) are playing reverse strip poker #where they have to put on more and more layers of heavy clothing #that was a cute bit and made me do a neutral nose exhale #also people who compare it to Worm please show your work #because the math isn't mathing #is it just that they're darker superhero stories? #worm #worm wildbow #worm web serial #the boys #the boys comics #my meds are acting up so apologies for any incoherence #but also reading the boys just does that to your brain I think

(pawing through the Hallmark cards) (muttering) where's the "i scored over my dr's diagnostic criteria for PTSD" section?

#more accurately cptsd but im american so im not allowed to have that as a real diagnosis #anyway i talked at length with my therapist about how i never know how to answer a lot of the ptsd screening questions #but i did my best not to minimize my symptoms---i have strikingly little memory of childhood #im frequently interrupted by thoughts of my childhood or parents #i will go way out of my way to avoid things that remind me of said childhood #etc #like i cant tell you how many times a day my brain does the equivalent of ramming a bowl of smelling salts under my nose #but i just never mentioned it bevause. i mean how do you do that. #how do you explain 'i saw a truck that looked a little like my dad's earlier and it ruined my day' #'oh did your dad do something to you or did something bad happen in the truck?' #'uh .... not .... really...?' #anyway idk. it was sort of a relief to hear i scored over the You Are Fucked Up threshold

#i read a banger comic and experienced the tragedy of seeing the art style to evolve to be WORSE #it was like. just perfect up to halfway through that it slowly started to morph #WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT.. WHAT HAPPENED... #from decent distinguishable features and heads/faces to slowly getting larger wider eyes that pushed all the faces features together. why #it was so beautiful and you soiled it #are big eyes really something to butcher your whole style over. im taking out my brain and putting it in hot water to dissolve #the noses. the face shapes. they all went out the window #and now so will i #txt

Okay listen I can't tell whether this is stupid or funny but I can't stop thinking about it and I think you might vibe with this one?

Steve and Eddie go on their first date, and have their first kiss, and when they get back they have a moment like that one scene from friends? Where Eddie goes to see the Corroded Coffin boys, and Steve gets Robin over so they can talk about their date.

And Eddie is blushing and giggling and twirling his hair and kicking his feet, hanging out in Gareth's room. And the CC boys are talking to him, asking him questions and stuff like full on sleepover mode. Did he treat you right? Where did he take you? Did he kiss you? What was he like? And Eddie talks about how Steve opened doors for him, and bought him flowers, and treated him to the full first date experience. Going into detail about how Steve cradled his jaw as they kissed, how he moved his hand to tangle in Eddie's curls. How it was gentle and tender and romantic and passionate and Eddie has been fully swept off of his feet

And then Hard Cut to Steve and Robin lounging like animals on Steve's couch, watching Fast Times, drinking beer and eating pizza and Robin is like

"Did you kiss him?"

"Yeah."

"With tongue?"

MOMO!!!!! I can see this SO CLEARLY it’s like a parallel of the grease scene during summer loving it eddie being sandy and Steve being Danny and that is quiet frankly HILARIOUS.

I have legit nothing to add to this other than, if I could draw I’d be all over this oh my GOD

#have I said that I love your brain? NEVER A BAD TAKE!!! EVER!!! #genuinely cheered me up after a heavy work week thank you so much #I just!!! love the dynamics here!!! #gareth getting properly into it kicking his feet as Eddie tells him #him and Jeff and grant dreamily sighing as Eddie talks about how they held eye contact #and the feeling of Steve’s hand on his face #of how Steve held him close and had soft lips and bumped their noses together before finally pressing their lips together #robin high fiving Steve then going back to throwing popcorn at him so he can try and catch it in his mouth #the throws get further and more elaborate with every successful catch until #Steve is out on the street and Robin is throwing from the second floor #I LOVE THEM #I might screen shot and add these tags in a reblog becuase I can’t be bothered to type them out again lol sorry bye #momo #momotonescreaming #ask #stranger things #THANK YOU SO WONDERUL

Nosebump time! Ai Chang's been through some stuff, but at least he gets to look like an anime character and make new friends. And maybe more~

Wesley belongs to @cjrydel, also the organizer of the faerie-Bachelorette OCT adventure where these two met.
