Henry: Or you get shot!

Ben: -It’s hard to get out.

A pit formed in my stomach - I was afraid of the man. I knew what he did. I didn’t want to believe it, but my teeth were grinding and my breath was caught. I was afraid right alongside Miguel. I wasn’t sure what Ernesto would do next, but I knew that he was despicable. The perfect kind of despicable that makes your insides squirm and your jaw clench. I wasn’t in any danger, granted - but the look in his eyes made me tremble in my seat.

Ej det be'r du mig ikke om det her.Finland har Lordi, men Sverige har jo Sabaton og Hammerfall….For fs sake du gør der svært det her.

Older drawings inspired by the band Nephew’s relationship songs. They never make love songs, but rather songs about weird or flawed romantic/sexual relationships between people.

Cigaret Kid (Mostly in Danish with a bit of English) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2-VNzVV3vQ A middle aged man meets a young guy whom he spends a few fun days with until he realize the guy is on the run from someone called Yamaha Boy. He tries to ditch Cigaret Kid but for some reason can’t, so they go on the run together. Eventually the middle aged guy suggest they just kill Yamaha Boy and the rest of the story is unknown.

Gå Med Dig (Go Away) (All Danish) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uabDFDmxaNk About a man and a woman who hate each other after spending too many years together, but doesn’t know how to live separately either. They’re both emotionally abusive towards each other, but in addition the woman is also physically abusive.

Va fangool! (Part English, part Danish) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24lCTYQ-N-A A rich and powerful man sits in a bar when a mafia boss starts hitting on him. At first the man tries to brush him off, but as they starts talking he realize the mafia boss is the only other person he has ever met who understands the loneliness that comes with power, so they start a relationship despite the man knowing it will get him in trouble.

Blå & Black (Blue & Black) (Mostly Danish) A woman wants to commit suicide so her husband keeps hurting himself so she’ll nurse him back to health and have a reason to live for a few more days. He knows she’s unsatisfied with her current life, so to help her he burns down their neighborhood, including their children.

The Way I Are (All English) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioSnhZoqzEU A remix of “The Way I Am” by Timberland which gives it a whole new meaning. It’s mixed with another Nephew song about Denmark’s desire to be loved by USA to the point of getting their own soldiers killed in American wars. Mixed with “The Way I Am” it becomes a song about a Scandinavian man who has fallen in love with an American couple and begs them to let him be part of their relationship. “Love me the Scandinavian way I are” here means “I will do anything for you, and you can do anything you want with me, as long as you love me”

I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS GET THE SAME FEEDBACK WHEN THEY GET BACK IN TOUCH WITH ME

Neither of my supervisors had never gotten it before either. They had to think for a while, and then it turned into them telling me how great I am and what they love about me.

This stuff is real. I would also say: none of it is lying. This is taking experience that you normally downplay and write off, and putting it in accurate words they’ll understand.

It’s hacking the capitalist system. Why ISN’T helping a kid with homework “tutoring”, when the only thing missing is a paycheck?

It’s especially important for anyone who isn’t a cis white man, because many of us are so thoroughly trained to feel like we are not good enough.

Privilege tells people they can fake it, and that they’re good enough just as people and can learn the skills on the job. Abuse and oppression tell people they aren’t good enough as people and that even their high skills are probably below average, and that unless they had the specific job title or were using certain skills officially, nobody will think it counts.
