Black Leopard, Red Wolf remains undefeated champion as most asshole-genie possible answer to someone asking for '#ownvoices queer fantasy books with a non-Eurocentric setting for Black History Month'.
Oh it is very much all of those things, to be clear. It's just got a setting/sociology/understanding of premodern culture that I can probably reductively sum up as 'Central African Game of Thrones" (if significantly better-researched- and genuinely enchanted-feeling), which is in my consistent experience not at all what anyone using that vocabulary to ask for recommendations is looking for.
As in, like. I think literally the second character introduced (the inquisitor whose interrogation of the protagonist is a framing device)'s very first described trait is 'is a pedophile'. Said protagonist's current fairly untroubled self-conception is that the reason he's gay is because he was never circumcised as an infant. There is a toxic love triangle involving a were-leopard that ends in a dozen adorable disabled children being locked in a hut and burned alive. And so on.
making an extra post because the tags aren't good enough
here is all the reasons why you should use comicfury (if you aren't already) :
pretty much full control over your custom site design. if you're an HTML/CSS nerd you can go as crazy as you want with it. but for those who aren't so code-savvy, there are also simplified built-in design tools so you can create a unique site for yourself and your work. reject homogeneous minimalism design of bigger platforms, embrace tradition of mid-2000's kitchen sink site design (if that's what you want, that is).
the site demonstrates its own philosophies through its extremely charming vintage 2000's-era site design. it ain't broke so it doesn't need fixing. if it's too 'ugly' for you and wards you off from using the site, then it's succeeding at what it was designed to do.
forums! remember those??? CF sure does!
full view of your comic statistics over the past month, shown as delicious daily line graphs, separated by unique visitors, web page view, and scroll view.
hosting is free. don't want that pesky 'thecomicseries' or 'comicfury' add-on? all you gotta do is purchase your own domain name. contact kyo and they'll take care of the rest.
you can categorize your pages per chapter, making for an easier reading experience
you can include page transcripts for screen-readers as well as mouseover text
you can enable comments per upload and even manage them so that all comments have to be approved by you before they're shared publicly
archive tagging!!! i.e. you can tag uploads with relevant characters / locations / etc. so people can find specific pages easier on your site.
you can run a goddang BLOG on your comic site so that people can read what you've been up to! or don't, it's your choice!
clear filters for NSFW content. the filters do what they must to inform your audience as intended, outside of that, your comic will not be taken down, flagged, or suppressed in search results just because it contains violence or boobies.
they are strictly anti-AI
they do not make licensing deals with third-party companies, so the only 'competition' you have are other indie creators like you, no Marvel or DC nonsense
you're free to embed ads and/or donation buttons on your site and CF will not take off a single cent of it for themselves.
the front page goes to Recently Updated by default, all the other tabs are simply Popular Now and Popular Overall. there's also a Random button if you want to be surprised with something new. while this might seem like a bad thing for people who prefer custom filtering, this unbiased layout prevents the common visibility issues / favoritism / etc. that happen on other platforms.
but if you DO want to find something new that fits your specific tastes? just use their search bar, unlike on Webtoons it actually does what search bars are supposed to do! within the search page you can pick and choose whatever genre tags you want, and you can filter out major NSFW flags you're not comfortable with seeing.
saving the best for last: none of those features outlined above require paying a premium subscription tier. you have access to ALL the same tools and permissions that everyone else does. you have just as much potential to gain an audience there as everyone else and you are all granted the same freedoms.
COMICFURY HAS A SCROLL VIEW SETTING THAT YOU CAN ADJUST IN YOUR SETTINGS. THE PLATFORM IS ALREADY DESIGNED TO BE CONSUMABLE ON YOUR PHONE. IT DOESN'T NEED AN APP.
ugh man i'm so sorry for popping off on this very innocent and well-meaning bystander but what did i JUST say
when i say it's a webcomic platform that knows it's a webcomic platform
that's it. no asterisk. that's the POINT OF THE MEME.
it is a website for reading and hosting webcomics. there is no app. and that is why it works.
i realize this might just be a consequence of me being Old™️ compared to the average webcomic consumer / artist, but do y'all know how destructive phone apps have been and still are to webcomic culture? because not only is developing a phone app EXPENSIVE AND TIME-CONSUMING, but it's pretty much impossible to have phone apps now that aren't managed and funnelled through Google and Apple.
that means CENSORSHIP. and CORPORATE INTERFERENCE. and FINANCIAL INVOLVEMENT. which is entirely opposing to WHAT WEBCOMICS ARE.
as soon as indie sites based around free content develop apps, there's a very clear shift in how that site continues to operate, prioritizing corporate standards and profit over usability and community. because otherwise, they can't justify the creation of the app in the first place, and they can't very well maintain that app on account of how expensive it is to do so.
in fact, i can even attest to this from experience! y'know Tapas? the friendly competitor to Webtoons?
this platform used to FUCKING SLAP and then guess what? they released their phone app. and in doing so, they immediately lost the entire fucking plot. their ad revenue program turned to shit, they started prioritizing their advertising and growth towards paywalled comics over the free to read ones, they started restricting the content that was allowed on the platform for the sake of 'brand friendliness' and most of all, they started caring more about what INVESTORS saw rather than what the average user experienced.
and i'm sure that's a heavily biased opinion in which i'm choosing to cast blame on one specific thing instead of all the various things that led to the downfall of this fuckass platform (and i could talk about all those things at length too) but guess what? i don't give a fuck if it IS biased, because i've been there and back and lived to tell the tale and the common denominator in the enshittification of all these major platforms i'm goddamn MEME'ING ON was the phone apps. and most of all, the normalization of corporate involvement which happens the MOMENT you build an app for the Google and/or Apple store.
modern phone apps are NOT about accessibility, they're about money and metrics. that's it.
again, big apologies to the person who left these tags in the reblogs because i know they didn't mean any ill will of it.
but EVERY FUCKING DAY i see y'all complaining that webtoons and tapas are garbage, that they don't let you consume NSFW content without censoring the fuck out of it or removing titles entirely from their platforms, how they progressively tighten paywalls and increase ads to force every last cent out of you, but never ONCE do y'all realize THE CALLS ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.
comicfury doesn't have or need a phone app for the same reason that AO3 doesn't have or need a phone app. to put it simply - because it's pointless, a waste of money and effort, and it would just destroy everything that's great about the thing that i'm trying to promote to you in the first place.
this is what usage freedom and decentralizing actually looks like. this is what has kept comicfury populated and alive. nothing more, nothing less.
I think Coco's quest to save her mom is about to get majorly subverted. Get ready for another Spoiler-Heavy Theory / Analysis 💫
Significant witch hat atelier manga spoilers below the cut. Proceed with extreme care...
I personally think that Coco's ever-nearing quest to enter the Tower of Tomes will NOT result in her finding the picture book with the spell that cursed her mom (In fact, I really hope that when she does eventually solve the problem and save her mom, it's entirely on her own, purely with magic she came up with herself, but that’s a thought for another time).
Right now, Coco is working towards a couple major objectives:
Number 1: Pass the test to be able to enter the Tower of Tomes.
Number 2: Solve the problem and save Mom using the information she finds there.
The Silver Eve arc changed things though, and I think now, she has one more critical objective:
Number 3: Save Qifrey (and Custas!) from the Silverwood curse.
Looking back, there have been quite a few hints already that she will soon be faced with the difficult choice of arranging her priorities, and I am certain that dilemma will become impossible to ignore once she enters the Tower, since we know from chapter 93 that the Tower only permits you to find and leave with the books your heart is searching for.
I feel fairly certain, honestly, that what she’ll find in the Tower will not have anything to do with solving the problem of her mom, but will rather help her find a way to save Qifrey, and by extension, Custas. Whether this will be a conscious choice, or if she'll be just as surprised as us, I'm not sure, but I do feel that that is what will happen.
Now, obviously, this will not mean that her mom is suddenly less important to her than Qifrey, or that she doesn’t intend to save her anymore. But I think there’s a different sense of internal urgency that comes from hearing directly from your friend’s mouth that he could essentially die at any moment, especially when she’s already stressed how important it is to her for him to be there to guide her and celebrate her achievements.
In fact, remember the last time she was faced with the choice to attempt to enter the Tower or to go back to the Great Hall in chapter 38? In that moment , her instinct was to ignore the two options she’d been presented with, and instead “save” Qifrey. Foreshadowing? I think so.
Anyways. All this to say that while I do think that Coco’s story will culminate with her saving her mom, I don’t think that what she’ll find at the Tower of Tomes will play a role in that. I think she has a deep, internal belief that in order to save her mom, she needs Qifrey’s support, and to have that, she will need to find a way to keep him alive and hopefully end his long-term residence in the Hashtag Torture Labyrinth.
Whether she realizes it or not, that is what her heart desires, and so that is what the Tower will give her. I think it would be so compelling if she goes to the Tower, certain that she'll find The picture book, only to only find books connected to Silverwood trees. The simultaneous hope and disappointment that would bring her...
If you wanna get real crazy with it, you can even argue that this has been hinted at as far back as chapter one, where Coco was indirectly presented with the choice between Qifrey and her mom, and though she wanted to choose her mom, she ended up with Qifrey.
And ohhhh god.... The guilt that Qifrey, the reigning king of minimizing his own importance, will feel upon learning that what Coco got from the Tower was for HIS sake and not her mom’s??? Yeah. That'll be fun.
actually while i’ve still got this soapbox stuck to my shoe i also wanna say i think culturally we gotta start conceptualizing physical fitness as a productive hobby rather than an obligation
it’s sort of like clothes. there’s a baseline level of involvement with clothing necessary to stay safe from the elements and participate in society. having a variety of different clothing isn’t *strictly* necessary but pretty tangibly helpful. knowing how to do some minor mending and tailoring is nice. once you get into sewing your own clothes, you’re in hobby territory. if you’re making your own textiles from scratch, that is not only definitely a hobby but not something you can expect other people to want to do
the sort of nonsense fitness influencers get up to is sort of like people showing off their homemade silkworm farm and then pointing at everyone else and going “what’s YOUR excuse for wearing a TSHIRT from the STORE???” and actually nvm that would be fucking hilarious. god i wish that was an actual thing can you imagine

somebody should start an organization that pairs people just getting into a piece of media with someone who's already a fan and has watched/read/played the whole thing. many times now i've started playing a game or watching a show and thought "man, i really want to see fanart and jokes but i don't want to see spoilers by scrolling through the tag william nilliam". many times now i've thought "man, i really enjoyed that story and i want to experience it again through the eyes of someone seeing it for the first time". do you see my vision
the problem with tumblr spells is all of you lil sluts are casting and not giving it time to charge so you're all casting cantrips and not 9th level death spells. everyone wants to be the one to take them down no one wants to be the one who assists
Someone will say "as a queer person in the heart of empire, my life is in danger every day" and you'll find out they're a developer for Amazon and live in San Francisco or Seattle or some shit, and then you'll meet a trans girl from Alva, OK who's like "Yeah, things are pretty good. AutoZone moved me to full-time."
#That's what I mean when I say the foundation of feminism and queer community should not fixate on victimhood #Once you feel that our suffering is our shared experience an not our love then our suffering becomes vital to the culture #I don't want a culture where suffering is vital #I want a culture where love is celebrated #The suffering is an imposition not a prerequisite #And yeah I sure fucking hope our oppression is diluted bitch you WANT us freebasing the uncut shit???

All k9 dogs are abused hands down if you post any pro k9 stuff on my dash you’re unfollowed I don’t care if we’ve been mutuals for years, you can claim to be anti-cop or a leftist or whatever but if you post k9 dogs with like “a good doggo! A good boy!” fuck off, if I lose followers over this then good riddance
It’s ALSO worth saying that police dogs serve a significant role in worsening police brutality. A dog trained to attack a human will maim them. A cop looses a police dog on someone, and that person is expected to peacefully cooperate while a dog is trying to tear their limbs off. It is very easy for those massive wounds to get infected. It is an absurd amount of violence. And beyond the initial attack, the fact that a “poor sweet innocent doggo” did this is used to excuse that brutality in court. Especially if the victim, panicking in the moment, lashed out at the dog. As this website has demonstrated many times, majority-white juries have more sympathies for injured dogs than the people of color who are most often victims of police brutality. So they’re not just systemic animal abuse, they’re also a tool for increased police brutality and to excuse
k9 units are like if they invented a specific type of animal abuse just to hunt black people. okay well the police are expressly derived from slavecatchers who used dogs expressly for that. so its not really like its exactly the thing that happened.
when you get crazy enough about The Character you'd think the situations you imagine them in would get more elaborate and lore intensive. but no. imagining my wizard pacing around huffily being slightly peeved at a mild inconvenience. I don’t even know what the inconvenience IS. and it's giving me enough joy to power a city for a month

me: truly a well crafted tragedy is such a bittersweet pleasure to take in and serves a purpose, not just as a sad story but as a reminder that even that which ends badly might not have happened in vain or for nothing. The love, the grief, the actions still meant something simply for having taken place and for us partaking in it.
me when said tragedy is about to actually unfold, sweating: ok but consider this. i dont want this to happen
