remaking this um
hello my name is redacted -- I am a transgender homeless asylum seeker and I am crowdfunding to both leave homelessness and to also support the cost of my living.
£4 will buy me a pack of cigarettes, £9 will be more than the government support I am entitled to but am not getting, £10 will cover my monthly phone bill, £12 will pay for my monthly healthcare costs, £20 will ensure i can get to my legal appointments, and so on and so forth. i know i ask a lot, but it very hard when you have zero income and no way to get income.
thought ‘what if the vintage skins were more in line with actual 1930’s cartoons design sensibilities’ and promptly went mental. plus a bonus two-tone dandy ! since he’s not playable and all
so some things i learned as i was doing this:
-solo cups were not invented until the 70s, so scraps has a tin can as part of her tail instead
-hoodies WERE invented in the 30s but were generally worn by warehouse workers bc of the cold. they didn’t get worn by the general public until the 70s, so toodles and cosmo are Not wearing them
-leg warmers were invented in the 40s but also didn’t get popular until the 70s so glisten’s legs get to be naked. sad !
-GASHAPONS WEREN’T INVENTED UNTIL THE 60s. GIGI SHOULDN’T EVEN EXIST HERE. BUT I DIDN’T FIND THAT OUT UNTIL I WAS DONE DRAWING ALL THIS. OOPS !!!
other than that it was just a lot of ‘put gloves and/or shoes and/or pants on them. sometimes noses’
under the cut is All of them together and then also the sketch :]
i GOTTA know your thoughts on the Boys S4 so far
I'm . . . enjoying it. Like, really enjoying it? More than I thought would be possible after season three (nearly) demolished any and all enthusiasm I held towards it.
I'm especially loving the whole 'Pinky and the Brain' thing Sister Sage has going on with Homelander.
Sage herself is such a breath of fresh air. I find her extremely charming on her own but watching her maneuver Homelander is so entertaining. I can't remember the last time he had someone genuinely interesting to play off of. I've always said that my love for HL is so monumental that it eclipses every other character in the show (so much so that it prevents me from even *having* a second favorite character) but that has changed with Sage.
I'm not thrilled about the generous amount of screen time being allotted to Frenchie of all characters. Paying attention to storylines that have nothing to do with Homelander is already hard for me so sitting through the Frenchie Guilt Extravaganza is borderline painful.
I love everything going on with Ryan. It's no secret that child actors are reaaaally hit or miss, but this kid is knocking it out of the park every single time he's on screen. I'm so impressed that he can hold his own against Homelander in all of their shared scenes.
Starlight was losing me up until that one scene with Firecracker. Call it out of character, call it sloppy writing, but I think it adds another layer to her. Starlight had/has the ability to be a vindictive little beast? Noted.
I could write more but I'm going to be merciful and stop there. I'm tentatively optimistic that this season will be better than the last. Which. . . isn't actually that much of an accomplishment. The bar is low. The bar is on the floor.
With all of that being said, regardless of if the writing tailspins in the second half of S4 the same way it did in S3, I can die in peace with all of the good Homelander content I got out of those first three episodes. I can die in peace because I have ↓ THIS ↓
In 4th grade, my bff was in a death feud over chess with a boy in our class but instead of competing like normal people they decided that the best way to determine who was chess master was for each of them to select one of the two biggest idiots in class and teach them to play chess, My Fair Lady style, and see whose idiot won. We are just now, 22 years later, grappling with the moral implications of this exercise.
y’all this took FIVE MONTHS…… almost a whole half a year…. it felt like it took just forever tbh but now it’s over… and READY TO BE MADE 💗💗💗
unfortunately I am poor and can’t make these without support- BUT if you like supporting queer disabled artists, and getting a cool hand drawn tarot deck out of it (and maybe some cool extras? I’m still working out what those might be!) I am running a Kickstarter project for these launching on September 24th!!
reward tiers include:
- $1-$39 just for support!
- $40 for a Major Arcana only set (22 cards)
- $50 for a Major + Minor Arcana set (full 78 cards)
- $75 for a full 78 card set WITH SILVER GILDED CARD EDGES!!
I also made a short video! it’s a little amateurish but hey it works well enough, and you can see the themes for the minor arcana in it!
So, about that tattoo Bill asked Ford to make in the Book of Bill that literally means "If lost return to Bill" how we feeling gang
One of the things they don't tell you about getting into entomology when it wasn't really a childhood interest of yours or anything is that you go from being apathetic like you were likely taught to be towards bugs to feeling bad whenever you have to do literally anything remotely negative to them—I just had to remove a paper wasp queen's brand new nest and relocate the wasp because she was building it in my garbage can and I felt like this inside because it's cold out there and now her home is gone (Even though, realistically, wasps can withstand the cold, but they still prefer warm temps)
