Jason: Has Bernard always looked at you like that, and if so how did you think he was straight?

Tim, to Steph: Stop telling Jason things.

Steph, ignoring Tim: I took Tim's gaydar cause he's not worthy.

Marvel character Gwendolyn “Gwen” Poole aka Gwenpool has been confirmed aromantic and asexual!

Gwenpool will come to terms with her sexuality in next week’s issue of Love Unlimited: Gwenpool, her current series which is made by an acespec creative team.

Acespec creators Jeremy Whitley @jeremywhitley, Bailie Rosenlund @bailiesartblog, Kelly Fitzpatrick, Alanna Smith @alannawrites and Kaitlyn Lindtvedt discuss Gwenpool’s asexuality and aromanticism in this new interview for Marvel.

It’s a really great interview, highly recommend reading it!

“Acespec people aren’t often shown in media and when they are, it’s often shown as a trope of being a broken thing that needs fixing. The more diversity and stories we can tell, the better.” -Kelly Fitzpatrick

Love Unlimited: Gwenpool is available now from Marvel Unlimited. The concluding issue of this 6 part limited series will be out next week.

Check out this reading list for Gwenpool if you’d like to read more of her comics!

Gwenpool is the second Marvel character to be confirmed asexual this year, although she will be the first to have her asexuality shown on-page.

Morgan Red was confirmed asexual back in March and his asexuality will be addressed in New Mutants Lethal Legion #5, out in July.

Queer baiting in comics is BACK, BABY

I haven't seen Wish (2023) yet, but I keep seeing people mourning over the scrapped concepts that Disney explored for a human star character possibly being the secondary lead and love interest in the movie.

Gonna take this time to plug in my little queer space opera graphic novel series with the first book coming out in 2025, literally about a human star boy who falls in love with a human.

✦ My webcomic finished this year ✦

It was a big sprawling project that I started 6 years ago (these first drawings are... very old now) but there are still old parts of it I like - this month I thought I'd do some posts reminding myself of them.

Here are some of my favourite panels: volume one

"He was gay he said--and I could see he was waiting for my judgement, perhaps condemnation, and how relived he was when all I offered was acceptance."

-Steve Rogers about his childhood best friend, Arnie Roth, in Captain America #750

A little thank you to all the people who took the time to check out my mini comic Prom Night this weekend for Free Comic Book Day! I wasn’t expecting such a warm reception, but I got so many sweet comments and messages from old readers of my comics and new ones who don’t know these characters yet! My heart is full!

If you liked Sully and Carrie and want to know more about them, you can read my free webcomics Seemingly Dark and Mil-Liminal on Webtoon and Tapas. In both comics they are all grown up, using the names Johnny and Caro respectively, a lot of life has happened in between Prom Night and their current story arc, but you can follow their reconnection as they learn who each other has become over the last seven years and fall in love all over again. They are side characters with important arcs in Seemingly Dark, but I loved them so much I gave them their own story in Mil-Liminal!

Fun fact: yes these are the cuties from my detention piece! And also most of the art on this blog, you just see masculine Caro much more often then their teenage femme counterpart.

Feel free to ask if you have any Q’s! It was an absolute joy to share this story with you! You will be able to still read it if you buy me a coffee on ko-fi (raptorjules) purchase the hard copy from my ko-fi, I still have about 20 left, or wait til Halloween and read it free on Webtoon and Tapas!

Thanks for everything!
