Just because it suddenly occurred to me Midge Maisel would be a fantastic companion. Though the actual main character of the last thing I did is Sam Vimes, which..... Hot take but i'll place in the Alright category. It'd be cool, but he has too much counter-narrative power of his own for it to Really Work in the proper companion format, y'know. Cool but something else.

Medievalists know that if they claim to have found 'homosexuals' in the Middle Ages they will provoke cries of outrage, and nothing else they say will be heard. So they avoid the term. Thus Allen Frantzen, on the very first page of Before the Closet: Same-Sex Love from Beowulf to Angels in America, declares categorically: “I call this a book about ‘same-sex love’ because the obvious choice, ‘homosexuality,’ is, for periods before the modern era, inaccurate. ‘Homosexuality’ and ‘homosexuals’ were not recognized concepts in the Middle Ages.” Apparently, the same is not true of 'heterosexuality' and 'heterosexuals.' Frantzen does not hesitate, throughout his volume, to oppose 'same-sex relations' to 'heterosexual relations.' The result is a Middle Ages that would make Pat Buchanan jump for joy, one from which all the homosexuals have been banished and only heterosexuals remain. This should give one pause. If homosexuality was not a 'recognized concept' in the Middle Ages, then heterosexuality wasn’t either.

I recommend believing in the depths of your soul that you know exactly what you're doing and you will succeed and that the finished product will be great and singular and will save lives and contribute to the causal cascade by which the messianic era is to be effected. Anytime you start to question these affirmations immediately dismiss your doubts as baseless insecurity possibly imposed on you by capitalism and/or evil witches. If you start to feel like what you're drawing is unsalvageably bad immediately turn off your discursive brain and begin moving your hand automatically. Also never sketch or story board that takes too much time. You have to make as many drawings as fast as possible because you're going to die. We're all going to die.
