Just some self indulgent art of my fursona as a destoyer goddess. She collects random knickknacks that she finds interesting.
A lot of people in the notes are saying this is the same as the performative shit Disney’s doing and I’m like….. not really tho? I feel like constantly seeing a character with a pride pin throughout a 90 minute movie is more meaningful than a fucking gay cop that’s in one easily removable scene or an easy-to-miss gay kiss that lasts two seconds and gets censored easily in other countries. Katie has a pride pin and it’s not made a big deal out of it. It just exists in her person. Also you can’t go frame by frame inan animated movie and erase a pin, that’s shit hard
Disney: alright. Let’s put out our new first lgbt character wth half a minute of screentime. Everyone’s gonna freak out ad they’re gonna be so pleased. This is all we can do
Sony Animation: our main character has a pride button on her at all times
Disney: WHAT THE FUCK YOU CAN DO THAT???
Speaking as a gay woman, I will always consider a character wearing/owning a rainbow or flag-color item to be better representation than someone who only appears for five seconds saying “girlfriend” or standing close to someone of the same gender.
Also, the MAIN, CENTRAL CHARACTER of a movie!?Hello? Not a single vague throwaway line or a 2 second blink-and-miss it background character. The main character! HUGE difference.
My latest comic for The Nib was written by my friend Mike Thompson- it’s his first published comics work!
The Nib has been a steady source of income and a huge support to me and many other indie cartoonists for years. They publish amazing work, but will be cut loose by their financial backer in July. You can read the official post about it from editor Matt Bors here.
They are still running their kickstarter-funded print magazine, but have to put digital publishing on hiatus until they figure out their next steps.
If you’ve been thinking about supporting their membership program, now would be a good time. They have levels from $2 to $40 per month. I really don’t want this to be my last Nib piece!
you know what, THIS is how you address historical queer folks of all stripes in a respectful way. you refer to them the way they chose to be referred to, and you say “it’s impossible to know how they would’ve identified in today’s society, but they’re part of our history regardless”.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
