Monsters In America

Holy shit.

To all of my california friends who can’t miss fireflies because they haven’t ever seen them.

^ what? do they not have fireflies in CA??????????

Nope! They don’t really live west of the rockies.  The first time I saw them in Ohio, I thought I was hallucinating.

The fireflies were the most fantastic part of my first visit to America. I was with my BF and my roller derby team and we were in one of those yellow schooll buses being taken back from the tournament venue. I spotted some lights in the bushes and pointed it out… then we all lost our minds!!! As it got darker we saw there were SO MANY! Our American hosts couldn’t believe how crazy we were for them… but there is nothing even remotely like this in Scotland, it was like being in a fantasy movie or something. I’ll never forget them.

We had them in Norfolk, Virginia when I was a kid. Same time of year as the junebugs, but those are in the daytime.

Ok but imagine being an Irish immigrant coming to America for the first time having never heard of them and just…nope nope nope Don’t Go In Those Fields The Fairies Fucking Followed US I Thought We Would Be Free Of This Nonsense

oh whoa someone revived this post and its so interesting to look back on the progress ive made. i drew this in september 2016 and these days i keep no locks on the door. slowly ive unpacked the boxes. not all of them. but a lot of them. and i see my insides as they are. i clean the grime and the rust and dust and i keep the door open to let the room breathe. thats the only way to let in the good things.

brunch is gay culture because none of us are awake before 10 am
