hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate

BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard (under My Filters) to get rid of it!

How is bnha anime of the decade...... they aren’t even anime of the hour of the minute of the second

The notes on this post were so toxic that staff just axed em

What is happening???

Must everything be explained. Live here in this moment with us

SOUND ON

rewatching itsv and its genuinely astonishing that even with how incredible, revolutionary, stunning and distinct that animation is, you can already tell it's miles behind atsv. every spiderverse movie picks up the animation industry and chucks it 20 years forward. like theyd already struck gold with itsv they didnt need to push the limits even further but they did

wjhy is this big

Nate undercover: the most obnoxious man you've ever met.

Sofie undercover: gaslight gatekeep girlboss

Hardison: 1 act awkward, 2 pretend to have PTSD, 3 accuse the suspicious of racism.

Eliot: do the cover job really well. really really well. Actually cater the wedding, actually build the shed, actually groom the dog, and do a dang good job of it. You're the best <profession here> in the world!

Parker undercover:

Found another idiotic accounting mistake from my predecessor that I have to fix and I was like "WILL THE SPECTER OF THAT MAN'S INCOMPETENCE EVER CEASE TO HAUNT ME" and my coworker was like "Why do you talk like that"

Who the fuck is Jon Sims

actually im just gonna make my own post about it: please read more webcomics. please try them. every time people make posts about “aw man i wish SOMEone would WRITE about FLAVOR OF QUEER THING/TRAUMA OR ABUSE BUT IN SPECIFIC WAYS I CAN RELATE TO/WHATEVER” and then it gets reblogged into a giant thread of people agreeing with it and demanding Content i die because whatever it is is definitely being painstakingly created by an indie author who would really like for people to consume it and every time i point this out people suddenly can’t read lmao

it is out there it is free it is being made from firsthand experiences by people who care very very deeply who would be DELIGHTED to hear that it’s resonating with anybody at all, please throw some of that enthusiasm and support at people who will actually appreciate it

if you’re an indie comic person and any of this applies to you i encourage you to reblog this with a link to your comic and a short synopsis so people can browse the notes and find shit they’re looking for. or make your own post on your own blog if you don’t want to fool with other people i don’t care this is a sign from the universe that you should be louder about what you’re working on because people can’t fucking find it apparently.

i’ll go first i make kidd commander and it’s about an ensemble cast of queers on their way to kill god, they live on an airship and they’re all too pissed off to die. it’s free to read and it’s in the middle of its third arc right now. it lives here http://kiddcommander.com/

go go go

on second thought gonna add if you’re a READER and you’ve had Feelings about a webcomic feel free to recommend it here too

In addition to Kidd Commander, I enjoy:

Dumbing of Age - semi-autobiographical webcomic by an ex-Christian fundamentalist; explores a wide bevy of social justice issues in more nuanced ways than I often see, especially in regards to abuse

Monster Pulse - A group of kids (some of them explicitly queer) have their body parts turn into monsters; great analyses of trauma and transhumanism

Leftover Soup - slice-of-life story about the most philosophically inclined 20somethings in the world, seriously they spiral off into fascinating discussions all the time, this is basically Having Difficult Conversations: The Webcomic; the opening is terrible but stick with it

Forward - I’m just gonna link to the author’s artist’s statement and you can decide for yourself if it’s for you

i follow a lot of podcasts, i can put together a curated list.

http://ohumanstar.com/ is incredible, it’s about trans robots (in minneapolis! not a huge plot point, but it’s where i’m from). it finished recently, so you can have a completed reading experience.

https://www.baldwinpage.com/spacetrawler/2010/01/01/spacetrawler-4/ spacetrawler started as the story of six humans kidnapped by an incompetent alien to help free the eebs, an enslaved alien race. it’s very good, sometimes it hits very hard. the first and second series are complete, the third series is updating currently.

http://www.rice-boy.com/see/ rice boy is a “brightly colored and surreal fantasy adventure story”. bittersweet chosen one stuff. also by the same author is the order of tales (completed) and vattu (on going, i think it’s near completion)

https://www.egscomics.com/ very queer cast of magical teens. starts out very rough, but that was 19 years ago. lots of gender transformation magic and magical hijinks, with a helping of tragic backstories and nerd stuff.

https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1 about a couple of weird magic british school children at a weird british boarding school. there are a couple chapters in particular that hit hard. also, it’s just very well drawn and written and it always updates MWF, which is more than most webcomics can say.

http://diggercomic.com/ digger is just a good comic, i should reread it again, it’s been awhile. it’s about a “take-no-nonsense” wombat who finds herself dealing with a talking buddha statue, a tribe of the best anthropomorphic hyenas you’ll see, and a dead god.

boy have i got good news for YOU

the good news is that on this list (to my limited knowledge) both my comic and gunnerkrigg court feature wlw protagonists!

the other good news is there are TONS of us working outside the aggregate sites, please please don’t assume those companies are indicative of everything going on in webcomics as a genre. my thoughts on that could fill a whole other post but i wanted to bring it up here at least.

I also just remembered there’s the website https://archivebinge.com , which is FANTASTIC if you’re looking for something specific. It’s limited by the fact that the creator needs to post the comic themself, but it’s got a great tagging system for both genres and content warnings:

and lets you know when new posts go up even on independent sites! Extremely useful for finding and reading a bunch of comics without taking agency from the creators.

i read a shitton of webcomics but here are my recs specifically for ones that aren’t on networks like hiveworks so they need more love (on mobile so sorry if formatting gets weird)

Softies i can’t summarize better than page one sorry. there’s a bit about a stubbed toe that will hit you like a freight train to the feels.

Job Satisfaction is slice of life about queers and demons and queer demons.

Radio Silence is a coming of age story about a British band on tour.

Ingress Adventuring Company is about Professor Toivo Kissa. He is an elf and he goes on adventures instead of doing his job, which is professoring.

Skin Deep is about a girl who goes to college and finds out she’s a sphinx (i feel like everyone reads skin deep but also not enough people read skin deep).

Sfeer Theory has a magical university for a very complicated magic system, if you’re into Lore.

Outliers takes place in a superhero world but these boys are just trying to be happily married in peace.

Some LGBT webcomics just off the top of my head

Muted - fantasy comic about a gay, poly witch in New Orleans.

Paranatural - All ages fantasy comic about middle schoolers who fight ghosts.

2 Slices - Classic, trope-y romance comic with a queer spin

Alice and the nighmare - Fantasy/sci-fi retelling of Alice in Wonderland.

Sleepless Domain - Magical Girl genre deconstruction. In a mysterious fantasy/sci-fi world where teenage girls sometimes have superpowers, how are those girls treated and valued? Content warning: This comic is usually pretty cute but has some serious violence early on.

Chaos Life - autobiographical slice-of-life comics about an agender illistrator and their gay, disabled wife.

Boy In Pink Earmuffs - All ages comic about two best friends who solve mysteries together and are also crushing on eachother.

Magical Boy - Fantasy comic about a trans boy who finds out he’s descended from a long line of magical girls and is destined to save the world. (tapas exclusive)

what’s up if you’re in the notes looking for recs you can’t see most of them because tumblr hides anything with a link in it, view this reblog to see a big ol’ list of webcomic links

hi hello @webcomiclibrary is another really great resource for finding new comics to check out! They maintain a very nice tagpacker archive with lots of different options to search through to find The Queer Story You’re Cravin’.

also not to toot my own horn too much but I make @cloverandcutlass which is a f/f fantasy romance featuring a trans girl protagonist! it’s about Disappointing Your Parents (and learning to be okay with that), and also about being a big gay disaster in general

What’s good y'all I muted this post ages ago because a lot of people are incapable of behaving normally when webcomics are being talked about BUT it appeared on my dash again so I checked the notes a bit and wanted to reblog the webcomiclibrary link! that’s all back to the void for me

Seinfeld (1989 - 1998) 7.23 The Wait Out

bad blood by bastille was literally insane. a song about Pompeii AND a song about Laura palmer AND a song about icarus. things we lost in the fire???? wtf was this guy on. possessed by a modern day library of alexandria. daniel in the den.. bro experienced one single past life regression then asked david lynch to interpret it

noah kahan really said growing up in a small, bitter hometown is about the rage and the hatred that's been sung about many times before but it's also about love and devotion and the 'all three of us were drowning and we didn't know how to save each other but there was an understanding that we were all drowning together' of it all and knowing people so intimately yet not being able to help anyone and he's morally grey at best in a lot of his songs and objectively the bad guy in others and that's just how it is and it's about substance abuse and normalised crime and teen suicide and country roads and failed exams and leaving and being left and love and hate and love and hate and love and
