i'm Paddy, i make comic art content, explore Nature, and play Appalachian Dulcimer. i'm genderfluid and go by many pronouns, but they/them will suffice. 💜

i have no patience for bigots or fascists.

support me on Patreon, or ask about commissions.

a drawing of me wearing pink glasses, an Eevee beanie, a green cape, a pentacost hoodie, denim skirt, green striped leggings, and low top chucks. i'm holding a hammer in one hand and a walking stick in the other. a bird, probably a starling, has nested in my hood. also my socks are yellow.

i'm making my first double splash page. for someone who's made comics most of my life i've never felt comfortable doing one but for once i have a need to do it.

splash pages seem to bring out strongly divided opinions. i think they could be overused, but overall not a huge problem.

speaking as a parent who has neither disowned my folks nor been disowned by my kids...

it is absolutely the right choice to break up with your shit family if you feel the need to.

you don't owe abusers anything.

and to those horrid parents, get your shit together and see that you were wrong.

I love how it's "self-absorbed" to cut off abusive parents, but not self-absorbed to expect your kids to put up with you regardless your behaviour, just because you happen to be their parent.

Chapter 26 of the "I don't mind." comic!!

A day to give back and love those in your life who make a difference 😌💜

#idontmindcomic

A black and white digital comic, opening in an animal shelter. In the foreground are two people, Kiana (right, femme nonbinary person wearing a fluffy sweater with large wrists) and Q (left, transmasc enby in a collared shirt), as well as a front desk with a vase of generic flowers. In the background, a large sign saying "STAY PAW-SITIVE!" and some pictures underneath (one of three birds, one of two dogs, and one of four volunteers and a dog -- Q and Lily are among the volunteers) are hung up on the wall.

Top right caption: Ch.25 P.1

Q, holding a cardboard box of various pet toys labeled "Cats & Dogs", says to Kiana "Thank you so much for coming, truly it means the world to us that you would take your Christmas to help the animals." Kiana responds, "Aww, I'm so happy to assist in any way I can! When Lily told me about your volunteer work, I couldn't wait to help -- especially at as busy of a time as Christmas!"

She then notes "Oh, and my family never really celebrated Christmas, same as Lily's. I prefer something like this anyways."

Tiny Cat is drooped over the front desk, noticing the box Q is holding

Lily comes in and surprises Kiana from behind, plopping her hands on Kiana's shoulders gently. She notes "Hey! I'm glad you two are finally getting a chance to talk!"

Q responds, "I am as well. [turning to Kiana] I've heard /plenty/ about you from this one [Lily], Kiana. For quite a while now too!" Kiana, leaning back a little into Lily's hands, giggles "Oh? You've had your eye on me for a while now, huh cutie?"

Lily, embarrassed, says "Ah well... hey Q I can take that box off your hands if you want!" Q, with a slight chuckle, says "How kind of you."

Tiny Cat is now in the box

As Lily walks away with the box, blushing a bit at that interaction and at hearing them talk now, Q says to Kiana "I see she's still as shy as ever about love, hun?"

Kiana responds "Oh definitely! Though she communicates that love in her own way. Lily's become quite special to me.", to which Q says "I'm overjoyed she's found someone so sweet who cares about her, and who sees who she truly is. Lily may be too modest to admit it, but she means quite a lot to many people. Perhaps to Amy and I the most. Our lives wouldn't be the same without her."

Kiana says "It's wonderful to hear such kindness be spoken of the person I love. If you wouldn't mind, would you share more?", to which Q replies "It would be my distinct pleasure."

Tiny Cat has jumped down from the box and is now looking up at Kiana

Top right caption: Ch.25 P.4

Q, with tears forming at the corner of their eyes, tells "Amy and I grew up together in an orphanage, in... well, I'll say 'less-than-favorable' circumstances. Occasionally, Lily and her mother would help a non-profit that held events -- fundraisers to help keep orphanage stable, and to promote the adoption center to potential parents.

"Later in our lives after having found a home together, Amy and I met Lily again in middle school, and over time became as close as family with her and her mom. She showed us unending kindness in the face of a world that gave us little support, and instilled in me the confidence to go through my transition, despite Amy's and my parents' lack of support. Lily can be shy, and is often afraid, but has endless courage to stand up for what she believes in, and who she cares about. I hope to one day be that kind. Make sure to cherish her."

Kiana, beginning to cry as well, says "I will. Thank you for being in her life, she wouldn't be her same wonderful self without you two either." Then giggles "Now I gotta go find her and give her a big ol' hug!"

Tiny Cat is hugging Kiana's leg and with tears streaming down her tiny cat face

This actually happened yesterday, that was my Christmas present lol. But I didn't want to say anything until I could doodle something for it. I wasn't really sure if it would happen before the end of the year, thanks for being here and proving me wrong!

boxing day confuses many of we in the states. like i sincerely thought it was about physical boxing with gloves and a ring and stuff.

forgive past me, there are many things they did not know.
