the whole "lipstick on a pig" thing makes no sense because the second we gave a pig access to makeup she became god's cuntiest soldier

Some Enzo, Cyril, & Vandal fanart becasue they are such fantastic little squad and I'm obsessed with ink demons as a concept. A million variations are running through my mind. CMYK printer ink demons, glitter pen ink demons, tattoo ink demons, highlighter ink demons, squid ink demons???? Beautiful possibilties.

He has no idea what's going on.

Nothing to do with any shenanigans whatsoever.

I make magnets out of my stickers too!

SILVER AND LEAD pre-order campaign.

Starting in 2020, when lockdowns were really hurting independent bookstores, I've been doing pre-order campaigns for our annual Toby book. In the past, they've been pins. This year, because tarrif chicken was going on during our design phase, we weren't able to afford pins (I pay for this myself), so we're doing awesome sticker sheets instead.

How this works: independent bookstores sign up, tell us how many pre-orders they have, and we send them sticker sheets to give to their customers as a thank you and incentive to order. This is PURELY OPT-IN. We don't sign anyone up. Even if a bookstore did it last time, they have to decide they want to do it again this time.

So how do you get sticker sheets?

Be an independent bookstore.

Email through my website contact form.

Fill out the Google form when asked by my PA, and respond when she contacts you approximately two weeks before release to ask how many sheets you need.

Receive stickers via postal mail a few weeks before book release.

This is open to all indie bookstores with physical storefronts, regardless of location. Sign-ups will close roughly a week before SDCC.

If you're a bookstore that sells SF/F, participate! Get stickers! They're awesome!

the moment I heard elphaba's delivery of "there's a girl i know..." in i'm not that girl i knew i had to draw this comic, i strongly recommend listening to it while you read for the full experience!

this comic is a companion to this piece (which was inspired by glinda's delivery of the same line in the i'm not that girl reprise).

pages 1-4 are from elphie's pov, pages 5-8 are from glinda's.

I do the opposite of gatekeeping, I’m not going to shut up until you like this thing as much as I do

Coworker type women are always like "you know how it is with husbands" but I don't. I don't know how it is. Your experience of husband seems to be guy who doesn't give a shit about you. My experience of husband is mostly guy who won't stop singing "Pastyme With Good Companye" (a bad song written by Henry VIII) at 9pm.

I found fanfic and fandom spaces by just looking up the comic books I was reading. I tripped and landed in IRC chat rooms and mailing lists and Yahoo Groups. There were many old individual writer or fandom archives, usually password protected. I miss the old internet sometimes.
