Callow hearts, hollow bones is a historical dark urban fantasy (I think it's fair to say) comic.
It follows Joseph Crow (he/she) – hunter, lover, fighter, joker – and I've posted the prologue before here on bs without context. I'm going to provide some context and repost the 26 pages 🪶

I love a good redemption! My next book is about two minor villains finding a happy ending.
But I have never, and will never write a story that ends in some kind of hand-wave happy ending between an knowing, intentional oppressor and the victims of their hate.

These girls have suffered under the weight of unjust laws, and at the hands of oppressors.
Luella hurt a man who was trying to steal her identity through abuse and she's not sorry for it.
Billie Mae and Loretta are Black in 1930's Mississippi, they know the risk of danger they face every day.

To stave off 'but what about' comments, yes, I love a fictional villain redemption arc as much as anyone. That's not what I'm talking about and y'all know it.
In BROOMS, it is never suggested that the girls try to make nice with the racist white boys who try to do them harm.
That was intentional.

It's something I see a lot in media for young audiences as well, and while I am all for learning to overcome differences to become friends, the idea that a person can't truly heal unless they reach a hand out to the person who knowingly, intentionally, and guiltlessly did them harm is, imo, garbage.

Most folks who have heard me talk know that I wrote BROOMS (witchy, queer 1930's illegal broom racing) partly because I was tired of euro-centric white magical academia stories
But I also had some grievances with Southern 'forgive those who hurt you' narratives 🧵

My comic ‘EVERYWHERE’ is about a girl who meets a boy in a tulip field 🌷
After losing one of my best friends to s*icide, it was a way of tackling that grief the best way I knew how & how I ultimately approach those who come and go in our lives.

Where's that article about a bunch of American kids being taught to "read" by literally guessing...
Webtoon readers, hear me when I say this and know it comes from a place of love and concern:
sometimes you must slow down and actually read the words written in the speech bubbles. You are going too fast. You are not comprehending the words in the order they are written. You are guessing.

Oh boy.
Black cats and walking under ladders bring bad luck, so does not greeting corvids and toasting in water to name some.
But then again... Maybe it's not so irrational after all...

pantone's color of the year makes me upset on too many social, mental, psychological layers to count, but I tried to... do something with it, I guess.
(Yes she's mostly blue but that's because I didn't want this girl to be colored with eggshell. Sorry I meant "cloud dancer")
