This is a thread all about mine and @lindarrow.bsky.social's queer noir webcomic Shaderunners.com, a historical fantasy comic where the alcohol prohibition in the 1920s is instead a prohibition of COLOUR 🍸💚 The archive is big, it’s free to read, and the story is in its final act!

one funny thing about having transitioned is that my dad is really supportive and hasn't actually changed the way he talks to me at all, just swapped "daughter" for "son". so he constantly refers to me as his "lovely son" and "beautiful son of mine". i think it's so cute honestly i love it

every time i go to an adult puppet show (which is a lot of times) i always have a small hope that i'll get to see a human fuck a puppet and it never happens because everyone in theater is a coward. apparently

if any of you are noticing that @lindarrow.bsky.social and i are especially synced up it's because i'm visiting her in canada right now. also because we're bound by the red string of fate but that's secondary

HELLO I'm so delighted to finally officially share A TRUE GENTLEMAN, the graphic novel I’ve been working on for the last few years & is very close to my heart.

Today marks mine and @lindarrow.bsky.social 's 16th anniversary as friends & creative soulmates!
I lucked out with the best possible collaborator. I can't even imagine where I would be today without Lin's friendship & artistic influence. Lin, I love you and I hope we make comics together forever 🩷

One of the crazier Hiveworks stories in the bunch. Recommend a read if you'd like an example of just how absurdly bad things got for some people.
Heeeyy, we can finally talk about this! So, I would like to co-sign everything in this open letter. I would also like to tell everyone about a specific grievance that @femonologue.bsky.social and I have with Xellette after the mishandling of our kickstarter. Screencap/receipts in🧵 to follow!

Krispy has been more professional, caring and hard-working during the last few years promoting the Hiveworks artists' interests than Xel and Isa have been over a decade actually running the company
It's been a long ten years and I finally get to talk publicly about what happened behind closed doors.
Please take the time to read this letter and please avoid working with these people. You are more valuable than an opportunity for people like them to use you as cash cow for your work. 🧵

The Guild has been a source of incredible inspiration, full of amazing people who care deeply about their peers & webcomics as a whole. I am sincerely grateful for everyone's hard work in this.

went on a hiking trip with my dad for his 70th birthday & was worried he would fall when we went down these extremely unsafe-looking steps. i watched him like a hawk and then when we reached the bottom at last with no incident i immediately slipped and fell.
