just in case you havent heard it today:

  • you are feared 
  • your six wings, gleaming body, and multiple pairs of torch eyes are beautiful
  • your thunder voice will get better and increasingly more vehement with time
  • you are valid

A comic about looking after yourself, your loved ones and your mental health during the tough times ahead. I started this last November, when people were hurting so hard it was difficult to function - I’m sorry it took me so long to finish it.   Everyday activism you can do when you feel powerless. And when you feel stronger, Punch back.

Kindred: A Graphic Novel Adaptation 2017()

“Butler’s most celebrated, critically acclaimed work tells the story of Dana, a young black woman who is suddenly and inexplicably transported from her home in 1970s California to the pre–Civil War South. As she time-travels between worlds, one in which she is a free woman and one where she is part of her own complicated familial history on a southern plantation, she becomes frighteningly entangled in the lives of Rufus, a conflicted white slaveholder and one of Dana’s own ancestors, and the many people who are enslaved by him.

Held up as an essential work in feminist, science-fiction, and fantasy genres, and a cornerstone of the Afrofuturism movement, there are over 500,000 copies of Kindred in print. The intersectionality of race, history, and the treatment of women addressed within the original work remain critical topics in contemporary dialogue, both in the classroom and in the public sphere.

Frightening, compelling, and richly imagined, Kindred offers an unflinching look at our complicated social history, transformed by the graphic novel format into a visually stunning work for a new generation of readers.”

The Spain dub for “It’s Over” translated the chorus to “There’s nothing left for me, there’s no love” why is Spain so Extra ??

The Italian is pretty emotionally extreme too tbh…

Oh yeah I would know, I was the one who made the post about it lmao

Not sure what post you mean... but I'm sure it was a great one :)

A friend on Facebook posted the Italian version a couple of weeks back and she retranslated it a little and it tore my heart apart - had it on repeat ever since.

Not seen the Spanish one though, will have to have a look!

concept: woman makes deal with demon to have it’s child in exchange for eternal life or some shit

woman then makes deal with witch and offers her first born for like, riches or something

woman dumps demon baby on witch, absconds with her winnings and leaves witch and demon fighting for custody

half demon baby grows up learning magic and visiting hell on weekends and every second christmas

does the woman act as a sort of vodka aunt who shows up sometimes to teach the child how to work the system?

“here you go timmy, have a new xbox. this year I’m going to teach you the ins and outs of magical tax evasion”
