“Howl’s not wicked” the orphan he adopted off the street, raised, and taught magic, said.

“THE HELL IM NOT” the man who girlbossed so close to the sun that now he has to dodge the draft because everybody who’s met him decided that this cringey frill of a man can’t be the dreaded & almighty wizard who ate the literal heart of Mrs Whatsit from next door’s hair dresser’s cousin’s niece.

I Am Not Your Asian American Doll: a comic for AAPI Heritage Month 2023

I usually spend a lot of time editing and fine-tuning my comics so that they come across as polite and inoffensive. But honestly, I’m really tired of the way Asian cultures and countries are treated / talked about while Asian people themselves are excluded, and thought it was about time I really let my rage out lol.

“[religious self-injury] Saints’ lives detail some of the most extreme forms of these practices [of bodily mortification], but their authors claim that the descriptions are intended only to impress readers and listeners with the miracles performed…One medieval writer (known to have sent scourges to fellow clerics) advised moderation. “There is no need to compete with Christ. To do so would be vain; moreover, it is tedious to have to wash blood stains from one’s clothes.””
