Been forever since these came in but I've been so busy I keep forgetting to post about it! Absolute stunning art from the @lawlightzine . Flat pieces have been collaged together in a binder I have (its a keepsake project to display everything from ticket stubs to receipts from travels to things like this). And now that Ive got more keychains and pins I gotta do some reorganizing!

I just finished Undertale with my partner the other day (late to the party, I know) and my TSHD fixation mixed with it in my head. So the result is me making this crude little animation. idk

009: "oh, my angel !"

introducing. . . , "oh, my angel!" , a google doc character template inspired by the collectible toy: sonny angels! The doc holds two portrait pages. It includes spots for the profile, persona, fears, habits, likes, dislikes, character traits, connections and backstory.

( !!! ) make sure to credit me! in order to do that, keep my @ at the top of the first page!

HOW TO USE ! ◞ . . . this is not a mobile-friendly doc, as it holds drawings. To change what the drawings say, click on it and press 'edit'. ◞ . . . If you want to make more room for text, you can make the text a little smaller and still be able to read it. ◞ . . . the doc doesn't have any pictures to replace, so please keep that in mind! ◞ . . . If you have any questions, please ask! ◞ . . . I know it's been a long time, but I'll release more docs soon! I have three others about to go through the testing stages, along with many other ideas for docs! As mentioned, some will be paid, but the same amount will be free! If you have any suggestions, feel free to share. ◞ . . . additionally, I have a fc library document in the making. look forward to it! ◞ . . . download here

something i really love abt tshd is how queerness is so intrinsic to the plot without it being the main focus, it’s pretty common in anime/manga where if there are canon queer characters, the word gay or actual queer struggles are never mentioned. but in tshd, yoshiki is very clearly repressed and closeted living in a rural, homophobic town in japan. it’s *suffocating* him, the only person he really had was hikaru but now he’s “gone” but still not quite gone, leaving him tethered back to this town. it’s obviously a super common sentiment among queer people who live in rural areas to want to escape into city.

and i know everyone laughs at this panel for the iconic ell jee bee tea thing. but in context it’s one of the most heartbreaking and relatable scenes in the whole manga imo. the people of this town aren’t just homophobic, but they’re trying to erase the mere existence of gay people as a whole by covering it up. its pretty obvious that yoshiki is depressed, and it’s easy on the surface to think its solely because he literally has a monster possessing his dead childhood friend/crush’s corpse. but its pretty clear that it only strengthened what was already there. (lowkey his themes are very reminiscent of owen in ‘i saw the tv glow’)

it’s hilarious seeing people say “why did they have to make it gay” ever since the anime trailer came out bc truthfully this story would not work nearly as well as it does if it wasn’t just some random ass straight couple. i really hope anime watchers look deeper into the narrative instead of just saying “omg its uwu toxic yaoi” or “it’s a horror anime with forced woke gay ppl in it”
