WELP hereโs the project I did for school that I wanna work into a more personal project throughout this summer and in the future as well. I havenโt done a comic in a long time, so there was a lot of experimenting here and Iโm gonna apologize ahead for my shaky storytelling cuz writing is not my forte, although I do plan on fixing this up in the future. Itโs a sort of prequel to what I wanna do for my zodiac kids, so it was just a lot of messing around with them. Nothing is historically accurate; its psuedo history and fanstasy so hahaHAย
โMemoriesโ - short and easy story about your kind memories which helps us to understand few important things at the right moment.
How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man? She's not like you!!!
Heโs the SWORD GUARDIAN, GUARDIAN of the INVENTORY.
The Secret Garden by Harry Cunningham
absolutely obsessed with jobu tupakiโs outfits. the glamourโฆ.the high campโฆ.the way that you can visibly see her mental/emotional state based on the way she presents. in the first scene where she meets evelyn, she looks like a fun party girl whoโs completely independent in every way and doesnโt need anything/anyone she doesnโt want or permit to enter her life. this serves as a message to evelyn that sheโs grown up enough to take care of herself without her, and her mothering is neither wanted nor needed. in other scenes where she has more power over other characters (especially evelyn) she appears in large, dramatic, and protected outfits that would be difficult or even painful to get too close to. in scenes where she fights and challenges evelyn and the hold she has over her life, she wears variations of armor and other fighter clothes. her โmultiverse monarchโ outfit is bold, elegant, and screams enlightened apathy in a way that completely opposes the plain brown robes she gave evelyn in that universe. and perhaps most importantly, in the scene where she and evelyn have their final confrontation, she dons a vibrant suit with teddy bear plushies built into it to show that deep down she can still be an imperfect little girl who sometimes needs her mom.

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once (2022)
[IMAGE ID: A tweet by โminh tรขm h. ๐พ on concreteโ @HAEDRAULICS on Apr 20: โeverything everywhere all at once had me writing down english class notes in the theatreโ with two drawings of sets of two nested circles, one black with a white center, one white with a black center. They are respectively labeled, โthe bagel (yin) // -life is mostly dull and bad // -joy is fleeting and ultimately meaninglessโ and, โthe googly eye (yang) // -life is mostly good and worthwhile // suffering is transient and fixableโ END ID]
this is my takeaway from Everything Everywhere All At Once
everything everywhere all at once is about intergenerational trauma. about depression and passive suicidality and the gravitational appeal of nothingness. about aging, getting older in your twenties and getting older in your fifties. about the specific hurt mothers can cause their daughters and daughters their mothers. about the harsh reality of the immigrant experience and the american dream. but itโs mostly about kindness and family and itโs about choosing to sit at home talking about taxes with someone who loves you, and itโs about telling your daughter that youโd choose her over the entire universe, and itโs about how even in the universes where life didnโt form, love can still exist. and itโs really all of that at once.
