I was reading a book (about interjections, oddly enough) yesterday which included the phrase “In these days of political correctness…” talking about no longer making jokes that denigrated people for their culture or for the colour of their skin. And I thought, “That’s not actually anything to do with ‘political correctness’. That’s just treating other people with respect.”

Which made me oddly happy. I started imagining a world in which we replaced the phrase “politically correct” wherever we could with “treating other people with respect”, and it made me smile. 

You should try it. It’s peculiarly enlightening.

I know what you’re thinking now. You’re thinking “Oh my god, that’s treating other people with respect gone mad!”

Happy Valentine’s Day.

And part 2. There is 11 days still to listen to it (till 22.1.2023).

Playing in the Dark: Neil Gaiman and the BBC Symphony was a 2019 event with Neil reading stories and BBC Orchestra playing music where David Tennant appeared as a surprise guest :).

The Good Omens segment (Neil’s introduction, David reading the drunk AC scene, Amanda Palmer singing A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square) starts at part 2 at 39:50 :). There was also the orchestra playing the Good Omens Theme played by the orchestra in the original but here unfortunately they cut it before it played.

You do you! 

I remember this time last year after graduation marked the beginning of my “unemployed summer camp.” After getting rejected from several promising opportunities, my self esteem hit rock bottom (#firstworldproblems). I hated seeming desperate, unwanted, and underestimated. After rebuilding my entire storyboard portfolio, I was like…now what? I began to open up more online and create comics for fun, and people seemed to really enjoy that because they could relate to it. I became more interested in creating my own content and giving myself my own voice, instead of letting a job be my voice. Eventually I got my first storyboard artist gig, and even after getting employed, I never want to return to a state where I don’t have my own voice out there. Social media nowadays gives us a platform to showcase our talents, personalities, and stories. As someone in animation, there are literally so many ways out there that can expose you to the industry, and the world.  Creating SUCCUBISHEZ and my mini life comics helped me learn more about the stories I want to tell, and how I want to tell them. Other than just being known as another studio’s bitch, I also want to be known for being my own bitch too.

Credits to French cartoonist Pénélope Bagieu. I only translated it because I like translating stuff.

EDIT: @all the horrible transphobes who apparently love reblogging this: the original book also has a comic like this about a great trans woman (Christine Jorgensen). Your hatred is disgusting, and you will not make all the hard work that went into this comic a vessel of it. PISS OFF.
