This is a big one, one I’ve been sitting on for a while. I’ve been getting comments from a variety of people who think that I need to be binary; that nonbinary people shouldn’t be nonbinary. And then those same people will also enjoy/relate to different pages of my comics. You can’t! Screw death of the author, because if you can’t respect the author you shouldn’t read their work. This is my life. It’s not for you to pick and choose from.

That being said, thank you to everyone who leaves comments about how my comic has helped them, that they relate to them, that it makes them feel valid. I read every single one and I love and appreciate every single one of you. You are valid and amazing!

From December 4th to the 31st we’ll be on break from comics, but never fear! We have guest comics lined up for you! Guest comics will be posted at 2pm every Tuesday in December.

As a child I was very excited about a lot of “tomboy” characters and then immediately disappointed with them. Now the Sailor Jupiter example is the one I remember the best, but as I got older I did learn that she was never meant to be “the tomboy” of the group – but as an 8 year old I thought she was.

Sailor Jupiter is a great character! I projected onto her as a child and got disappointed.

There is the argument however, about “tomboy” characters who are marketed as such but end up becoming “pretty” or getting a good makeover and now they act different. And that was NOT a fun thing to grow up with.
