Too Many Thoughts So Little Time

Hey, I'm Kriss
She/they • Bi • 20s
I’m a comic writer and playwright as well as an aspiring screenwriter hoping to get into the tv industry.
This blog is quite literally a dump of everything with no organization, sorry in advance

Welcome to the World of Twisted Tales!

After a few years of this blog sitting abandoned, we’ve decided to completely redo it and share with you all sneak peaks and promotional art for our upcoming webcomic Twisted Tales!

This project is a collaborative effort between partners, but this blog will mostly be run by mod Kriss, the lead writer, since she’s more well versed with tumblr as a whole. That being said, mod Sia, the artist, will pop in here or there.

When we have a launch date for Webtoon and Tapas set, you’ll be some of the first to know, but until then we’re going to post art and insight into the comic, as well as answer any questions you might have about the comic or the process of making it.

The one thing we ask is please don’t repost our art on to other sites without our permission! Thanks 💜

Not me pinning this to my blog because my webcomic’s tumblr is up and running again! Please follow and check it out! I’m so proud of this project. My girlfriend and I have been working so hard and we really want this to go well as it’s our baby. Please follow @twistedtalescomic and enjoy the ride!

I love shows, of course I would love new shows but not at the cost of writers and actors not making a living wage, so I'm more than happy to hunker down and wait it out as long as it fucking takes. I just think it's so funny that studio execs are trying to scare monger, "oh but what will the consumers do when they have nothing new to watch" as if a significant portion of this website's userbase isn't already watching hit 1999-2007 mob family drama "The Sopranos" at the pace of one episode a week, as if it's airing for the first time, just for the bit.

I don't live near any major picket lines, so if I have to get on social media every day or every few days and further explain why this is an issue and that CEOs are overpaid then that's what I'm going to do. If they want to save money, get AI to do their jobs.

And don't forget that Zaslav is a Trump supporter and Murdoch supports white supremacists.

I want the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike to go beyond Hollywood. I want UPS workers to strike. I want teachers to strike. I want trash collectors to strike. I want every necessary worker to strike. I want the people of this country and beyond to finally stand up to billionaires and the awful treatment of workers. I want the people who do the work to get their share and I want the uber-rich to be taxed for almost all of their money. I want a goddamn revolution.

If any of y’all are still out here simping for disney after the heinous shit bob iger said about the sag-aftra/wga strike I think you need to rethink….your entire moral code really.

I don’t care if you love the creative IP Disney owns, it’s not a company of artists, it’s a fucking soulless corporation who would rather let the artists who make those movies you love so much starve on the street than compensate them fairly.

You’re a selfish fucking asshole if you care more about your mid disney content then you do about the well-being of the people making it.

"What will you do without new shows" I haven't watched a mainstream television show as it released in years. I'm catching up on shows my parents liked in the 90s. I'm listening to fiction podcasts with 5 fans. I'm playing a video game the creators want you to pirate. I'm watching a minecraft roleplay. I may not know what I'm gonna do but I'm sure as hell not gonna be a fuckin scab babygirl.

Neil behind the camera all day tomorrow

Neil not being part of the Good Omens junket or the cast and crew and press screening because he's WGA and we are on strike.

But I'm so proud of our cast and our crew and everything they've made.

it would be cool if fat dudes without big beards were considered hot sometimes too.

I realized today that the main reason for the “hot fat dude must also include beard” thing is part of the whole “fat people are required to perform a higher and more perfect expression of gender”.

like usually this sort of thing is more easily identifiable in fat women, who have to be hyper feminine to be considered “attractive” by the mainstream.  but I sort of blinked today and realized, oh.  fat men must have beards to be attractive for the same reason fat men must wear suits and look dapper to be attractive, just like fat women have to have perfect eyeliner and wear cute pinup clothing.  higher, more intense expression of gender, executed perfectly and without flaw is required for fat people to be seen as attractive.

i think it’s important to mention a major thing a beard does, other than potentially act as part of a performance of masculinity, is cover double chins. i legitimately feel leaving that out is a major oversight. double chins are societally reviled and rarely ever depicted in supposedly fat positive art.

i’ve known fat women to literally tape the skin of their neck up under their hair to try to get rid of them– not to mention trying to contour them away with makeup. (i’ve personally done both. let’s talk about the utter misery of trying to exist in public with your skin taped and painted in place, terrified if any of it fails you will be treated as disgusting.) and fat men must grow a beard, and just the right kind of hyper-groomed beard, lest they be labeled disgusting neckbeards. fat people of all genders are compelled to “learn their angles” for photos, so they can create the illusion of not having double chins if only in still images. do you know how many photos with loved ones your fat friends duck out of because they can’t know how it will turn out, and don’t want to be mocked?

accept double chins as normal. accept that you can be attracted to people with double chins. stop requiring heightened gender performance and discomfort from fat people. stop forcing tape and makeup and beards and tactical angles on fat people.
