x You see, death is made to be conquered, and as such it is my life's work. Death should not threaten the human mind, nor spread, nor nest, nor unravel in the human body, and we are but fools accepting its toll. It seems I have never told you about the hours I spent over my research at the Thanatica, and yet I feel obligated to mention how fruitful they were in the shaping of my understanding of [....]

x Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo. It means I will sodomize and face-fuck you if you don't drop this scalpel, Vorakh.

x Slit your wrists, there, have this razor. Do you want me to help you kill yourself?

x I said no, you backwards, retrograde, abysmally ignorant whimsical mongrels.... How can anyone willingly abide by your useless rules? Certainly not me, for I am civilized, and I fear you are not.

I personally hate any kind morality thought policing. I'm not Catholic or religious and I do not feel guilty over my thoughts. You are not an inherently evil person because you saw two athletes in an interview and went "Hmmm...... what if...." The Feds are not going to come banging down your door because you wrote about one band member dicking down the other and sent it to your friend.

Wondering about other people's lives is very human. Being nosy about their personal lives is very normal. People have been writing fiction about other people's lives since the dawn of time. Some people even manage to write New York Times Bestselling Books that are "historical fiction" or "alternate reality." It does not make you inherently bad to be curious about the details of someone's personal life. That's being human. Being nosy is kind of fun.

The problem, however, comes with the ways in which people engage with it, and involve the real people in this. Harassing an musician's real girlfriend because it doesn't fit into the RPF ship. Showing up at real sporting events holding signs about how certain teammates should kiss. Trying to get actors to sign art of them fucking their coworker. Flooding social media with comments using the celebrity's full name and speculation. There's a line, there's a fourth wall, and there's fandom etiquette.

I hate the question of "Is RPF ethical" because it feels like morality thought policing. Post your fics on locked accounts, censor someone's name when you tweet about it, blow up your groupchat with hundreds of "DID YOU SEE THE WAY THEY LOOKED AT EACH OTHER??" texts. It's not inherently evil to wonder what other people are doing when they're out of the spotlight. Kill the cop in your mind.

but then I realised that same challenge would be infinitely more funny with folks who have atypical or horror OCs

Why did he keep calling the Iran war an excursion? Because he didn't understand the phrase military incursion

Why did he say the AI picture of him as Jesus was supposed to be a doctor? Because he was told to say it was doctored

oh i've done this one as a full commission!

I said that last comic primed me for a sitcom about Skywalkers and their ghosts. Leia vs. Vader Comic (previous)

You Are On Native Land collects stories and art donated by some of comics' biggest Indigenous creators such as Jon Proudstar, Maria Wolf, and Steph Littlebird. Tales of Native resistance; family and kinship; love and grief fill this beautiful collection, which includes a special reprint of TRIBAL FORCE #1, credited as the first comic to feature a superhero team made up entirely of Indigenous heroes.
