Just learned about the artist Zlatyu Boyadzhiev and I’m now absolutely obsessed with him. It’s been a while since I burst into tears at a canvas.

There is a beautiful consensus in Istanbul to take care of the stray cats, as if they are pets to the entire city. Why would you come to Istanbul, if not to pet the cats?

I find headlines like this ridiculous, because it acts as if the TV industry didn’t train younger generations to prefer YouTube. When you cancel shows people love, when you don’t listen to audiences, and when you don’t invest in audience but rather cater to shareholders, the audience will leave.
The Hollywood Reporter Headline: YouTube just ate TV. It’s only getting started.

💗 Happy Mary Sue Day 🧛🏻‍♀️

This is a love letter to fandom, to those who stay up late reading fic, who still argue for your favorite ship, who found themselves in stories.

i've been spending the time figuring out the main queer ship in the fake CW-like tv show that my main character ships and specifically what songs on The Life of a Showgirl match with which characters (including the Mary Sue, don't worry, but THAT'S SPOILERS AND I CAN'T SHOW YOU THAT)
Markus - Roman vampire that looks like Lakeith Stanfield The dark broody type that has a goofy side. Has been a part of every subculture on a quest to find his identity. TS ALBUM THAT DEFINES HIM: Reputation - The Fate of Ophelia - Wi$h Li$t - Wood - Fortnight - Getaway Car - I Did Something Bad - Delicate Sherlock Holmes - time traveling teen who looks like Tom Holland WITH GLASSES Seemingly young, but with an old soul. Did not live through your references, could figure them out if he wanted to, but doesn't want it to take up brainspace. TS ALBUM THAT DEFINES HIM: The Tortured Poets Department - Elizabeth Taylor - Ruin the Friendship - Honey - The Tortured Poets Department - My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys - So Long London

"A sharp, authentic coming-of-age story told through the eyes of a teen girl, blending witty chat-message exchanges with a spot-on depiction of fan-fic culture and high school life on the fragile edge of unpopularity." - @kris10simon.bsky.social

MARY SUE Final Order Cutoff TODAY
This book is a wonderfully authentic celebration of teen fandom, told with heart, humor, and honesty. The all-female creative team—Meghan Fitzmartin (writer), Lisa Sterle (artist), Dearbhla Kelly and Heather Breckel (colorists), Jodie Troutman (letterer), and Elizabeth Brei (editor)—brings Cassie’s world to life with warmth and nuance. From the first page, you sympathize with and root for Cassie, a protagonist whose struggles and joys feel instantly relatable. Boom! Box deserves credit for championing a title that normalizes fandom in a positive, affirming way, rather than dismissing it as “cringey.” The use of chat messaging as a narrative device feels fresh and real, while the creative team’s eye for detail perfectly captures what it’s like to navigate teenage life on the fringes of popularity. A smart, heartfelt story that celebrates community, creativity, and what it means to be a fan.

"If they don't kiss, we riot." See what three legendary Davids (@peposed.bsky.social @davidbooher.bsky.social @davewielgosz.bsky.social) are saying about Mary Sue. FINAL ORDER CUTOFF TODAY (9/1)
"A charming and heartfelt portrait of online teenage fandom... MARY SUE is a comic book triumph that'll make you laugh, make you cheer, and maybe even make you squee." - David Pepose (Speed Racer, Space Ghost, Spencer & Locke) “I’ve never been a big fanfic guy…until now. Mary Sue is a gorgeous and perfectly executed window into the world of fandom, told through the eyes of a superfan you’ll love. I found myself shipping characters in fanfic for a fictional show inside a fictional comic. It’s a whole vibe I’ve never seen in comics and I am here for it. If they don’t kiss, we riot.” - David M. Booher (Canto, Ghostbusters, Killer Queens) “We are all nerds. And if we are nerds now, we were probably even nerdier as teenagers. Mary Sue taps into that feeling of being young and finding a fictional world you loved so much you wanted to learn all about it, add to it, and spend more time there than in your actual life. Meghan Fitzmartin and Lisa Sterle tap into a type of fandom that is sincere, relatable, and at times makes you wince because it's true to the feeling of loving something bigger than you, something that brings you to a larger group of people who are hopefully like you. It's a terrific debut first issue, perfect for anyone who has ever been a fan of something, and a great teenage tale.” - Dave Wielgosz (Man-Bat, Batman: The Brave & The Bold, TMNT: Black, White, & Green)
