Requiem Adam part 1
Requiem Adam is making its grand debut ! Comic made with love and passion by our amazing @derkuningas
Cw: almost complete nudity , strong language
The story telling trough show is really amazing , we see the emptiness in his gaze then we are gradually exposed to his environment and the people around him , we are not thrown into the unfamiliar harshly and that from my humble opinion is showing a great understanding of her interpretation of story telling
She knows how she wants to tell us her story and she show it well
That panel is perhaps a little too quickly to my liking but it's a great shock as well leaving us hanging for what's coming , its also not in our face , leaving place for explanation when the time will come and simply showing us that it's there to be shown and explored
I like that the premises of the story is told trough a TV broadcast , its such an interesting way of telling indirectly to the viewer what's going on
Again she knows how story telling works and put what's she learn to great use
The character designs are creative and don't suffer from same face syndrome nor do they lack
The guy is shown naked and from a character design wise we understand very quickly that he is a shell , we are gonna grow and learn with him he is our vessel to understand this world
Our girl is dressed "breaking" fashion rules, she wears a skirt , leggings , a big poofy jacket she has a tooth gap , she is unconventional by design amd is flawed , she's arguably the most human of the cast so far because she is shown out of a mold that exist (see panel 3 picture on the wall) her sharp hairstyle can also indicate her sharp personality bringing us to even further analyse her
For our broadcasting lady she is shown tall and strong in a serious pose her haircut covering half her face leading us to understand she likely only says half truths or hides a lot she wears black long dress expressing her strong feminity yet she is in power , she's the one controlling what information people get
Im sorry there's not much more i can say for now except go read it , its worth it and stay on the edge of your seat because the story is coming and you definitely won't regret it 🫶🫶
Leasebound chapter 8 part 1
I like the maybe foreshadowing of the scene ? At least i hope it foreshadow or else it's gonna be yet again a great cover used somewhere it doesn't belong
Omfg this already pisses me out
Why would Riley be scared fr , isn't blaire your girlfriend?? Doesn't she respect you and listen to you ???
It genuinely feels the most regular conversation we where able to get so far , its fluid and makes sense
This is also a nice insight on the characters
Blaire self awareness and empathy and the same for Jaden, wich knowing Riley will end up with Jaden simply strike me as weird , rusty is basically modeling Jaden after blaire except for the "gendie" stuff . Jaden isn't her own person and rather a reflection of what attracts Riley
So , youre gonna tell me blaire can just guess stuff about Jaden but not realize her own gf discomfort and issues ?? It's such a terrible line of writing , because it sets blaire for failure right at the start , with a gf that uncomfrontational that obviously doesn't want to work on her issues then yes their couple is doomed because Riley has the key of communication and refuses to use it
Its a sweet scene that highlights what Riley likes in a person , but again , its something that is reflected onto Jaden, she isn't a person and rather plot point , she's not the one living theses events she's rusty vehicule to tell a story wich never truly worked in any media , you need to be able to have empathy nor relate for the main character wich cannot be done if the main character is a shell
in the events like Jaden where she isn't a character (wich she should be at this point we are at the 8 chapter) it's dull and will only attract shallow individuals that project themselves onto your work rather than consume it (see ya dystopia stories) i have no doubts the writers behind theses meant to create powerful yet relatable main character
But the issue is to be palatable and attract an audience that was deemed as too dumb (women) the main characters are vehicules of their stories
Wich divergence missed the mark terribly , it gave off a shallow power fantasy where instead of people deconstructing her work and understanding it they projected themselves into it and became way too attached to be critical of it
And the same is happening with leasebound , Jaden is the vehicule because rusty simply can't write compelling characters
The most compelling ones are thoses we see the least because we don't have enough time with them to actually see their development (or rather lack of in this comic)
And that's exactly my point coming stronger
Jaden is an empty shell only there to be what the viewer will impose onto her
She's not too good or too bad , she's not too nice or too mean , a perfect middle of everything , the characters with the most personality is blaire , she put boundaries , talk , has strong opinions
While Riley and Jaden don't have anything, they're bland , they're nothing except vehicules for a stagnant story
Just yikes
If you can't handle social interaction including people making sure they're respecting you then don't talk to people
Like , terfs will complain that people uses they/them as neutral/when they don't know but then complain when they get their pronouns asked ? It's a fight you cannot win because in either case they will complain , hence proving again it's a movement that lies in women being victims rather than strong forces
Im not sure if this is a trope but the dumbification of really smart women by the author is always a very interesting thing to happen in my opinion
Jaden is a medical major , she absolutely had to go trough years of English she knows about pronouns , showing confusion about *why* pronouns would've been the way to go
And honestly it only support my point about the emptiness of Jaden's character
And i don't think its on purpose , but dumbifying a black women only support further bad stereotypes and misogynoire, because at the same time that it's weirdly racist to think a black person wouldn't know about pronouns it's also misogynistic because Jaden is a women so rusty is actively being misogynistic under her audience nose like, yall are going to say radfeminism is for everyone but then you will portray a black women who GRADUATED in medicine as unknowing of pronouns ?
And to add onto this
Her audience actively masculinize the black woman , wich is insanely weird , and racist at worst
You complain about people asking your pronouns , using they/them as default
But then do this to a fictional black women ?? How do yall act with black women irl then ??? Its worrying
Im sorry but what
Did I miss a page or something??? There's is nothing to transition or that make sense between theses 2 pages
Like where did the dishes thing came from ??
Also it's crazy work to give Jaden ashy ass palms , that chapter was terrible in normalized racism , again I don't think that rusty is inherently racist , but she follows a movement rooted in white centered interest and was known to dislike black women or see them as too masculine so therefore "not really women"
Genuinely what's going on , there's for sure pages missing because wtf
There's nothing in between where are all theses come from
What's going on with Riley??? Like it's so badly portrayed , its exactly of neurotypicals will portray panic attacks because they thinks it's that overwhelming thing
And its also a very bad case of "narrative mental illness" because Riley anxiety isn't portrayed accurately at all and only becomes relevant when it serves the narrative wich it doesn't work like that , the main issue is how it's portrayed
Truly in the last 3 pages we get an anxious Riley but then page 2 we get an okish Riley?? And last page she get anxious over what??? It's such bad writing for real its so bad
clap it up that's my main yall whooooo
happy birth green girl

If you are trans: do not apply for asylum in Canada YET.
The appropriate changes are in the works, but not official yet. You will most likely be denied.
If you are denied for asylum once, you can not reapply. EVER.
Things could change quickly, so you need to keep that option open. Now is the time to prepare, not act. Unless you are in immediately, and direct danger right now (not pending a court case, not that the social climate for our community is bad, immediate danger to you as an individual), you need to wait until something changes, sadly.
yknow brainwashing is a huge part of cults and people always like to claim trans people are brainwashed...
Why would they be brainwashed 😭
All I see about trans people is that they're ""dangerous predators"" and are oftentimes victims of horrific violence, bullying, and abuse. Brainwashing doesn't work like that, bro. I don't look at stories of trans people being brutalised and think "Oh, transness sounds exciting!"
In fact, it makes me feel that the people who oppose trans people are brainwashed. Some of the leaps you have to make are insane. Men won't go through years of HRT and surgery to get into women's bathrooms- I don't know if you know this, but society treats abusive men better than trans women. And the "cult pamphlet compared to the trans pamphlet" really takes the cake.
I'm cis, I'm planning on remaining cis. This is just bullshit. Being transgender is not at all equal to a gender essentialist cult that believes in stifling women's roles. And it's crazy that you'd even come to that conclusion.
You haven't been in trans spaces. You've only heard of trans people- and those words come out of the mouths who want to pull the wool over your eyes. Like rusty!
I'm not gonna speculate on why people turn transphobic- I don't think it can be done in one text post by my dumbass, but can yall grow tf up😭
current posts are making the lb tag so much more bearable love the non terf audience wooo

It's with a heavy but hopeful heart that I watch Palestinian families fundraiser on here, slowly accumulating the precious little money to go around that they need to survive. However, not everyone is so lucky. A lot of Palestinians that have not had that kind of luck, that did not get early verification, that did not get massive platforms behind them from large bloggers, have approached me in my inbox, asking me kindly to do what I can for them. It kills me that I have so little to give myself, but I've seen this platform collectively raise enough to change someone's life. I've made a list of Palestinian fundraisers that are extremely low on funds, in the hope that drawing attention to people who have not been lucky at all can help turn that luck around. I know most of us can't possibly give enough to get all of these families safe in one go. But please, reblog this list. Pick one or two fundraisers, give what you can, and then keep track of it. Slowly, collectively, we can make a difference in these people's lives. Share and donate as much as you can. https://docs.google.com/document/d/178EGDFKkHlh3y4TMVX82kqgITHsqtoMdNccI2f_94Os/edit?usp=sharing
