I Take Issue Project- Wrote My First Graphic Novelette! Not Something Id Normally Say, But Im Super Proud

‘I Take Issue’ project- wrote my first graphic novelette! Not something I’d normally say, but I’m super proud of this.

(please excuse the weird layout, it’s formatted for printing rather than internet)

# pour les writeblr français

Parce qu’il est grand temps que je me plonge dans la face obscure (et française) de tumblr :)

Les # de la communauté française: upthebaguette (aussi avec des espaces), french side of tumblr (aussi sans les espaces), whatthefrance, french stuff

Les # Writeblr en anglais mais pour les français: french writeblr, french writing, french writer (aussi utilisé pour des auteurs publiés), upthestylo (rare)

Les # Writeblr en français: mes écrits, écrits, mes mots, mots, écriture, écrire, écrits français, texte français, poème, poésie, roman (à éviter car existe en anglais et c’est aussi un prénom), écrivain (citations d’auteurs connus), essai, atelier d’écriture, écriture créative, récit, texte français (#texte fait ressortir des résultats dans d’autres langues)

Pour les auteurs de fanfic: fanfic fr

Pour du vocabulaire : french langblr (pour les étrangers qui apprennent notre langue)

Pour les hashtags qui peuvent s’écrire avec ou sans espaces, c’est la forme la plus commune qui est retranscrite ici. Parfois, on laisse aussi tomber les accents, ce qui multiplie les possibilités et, soit dit en passant, facilite le saut de tag en tag depuis la version desktop de Tumblr (qui, oh surprise, gère mal les é, è, ç…).

Il y en a sûrement d’autres, je les ajouterai pas à pas.

every word out of guillermo del toro’s mouth is the most hardcore thing i’ve ever heard and he says it all so casually like he doesn’t even realize how much of a gothic visionary he is 

TRUTH. What you need is imagination, and you don’t need to go anywhere to use it.

a lot of people draw fat characters as like Vaguely Round stomach, throw on stretch marks (drawn in a way that stretch marks DO NOT work) and often body hair (for some reason?? like i’m fat and have body hair but it seems like fat artwork is OBSESSED with adding it on as some sort of statement), pert boobs, maybe the glimmer of a double chin, big ol’ thighs cause they’re in vogue rn, and maybe round upper arms

and it’s like… zero acknowledgement of sag

or how you can be fat and have small boobs/ass/thighs/hips

no thick neck along with the double chin

no fat rolls

all fat people are also drawn to have looooong legs as if to apologize for the rest of the proportions

i look at a “fat” character and what i see is just a skinny character with weight added on, even though that’s not how that works

and it’s just very clear to me that some artists want credit for “diversity” but don’t want to actually look at fat bodies. they apologize with hyper feminine outfits or the implication that the fat character is athletic or something. the fat character still has the perfect figure because “well, some fat people DO still have curves like that!”

we’re thicc and thick and “chubby” and plus size.

but we’re never actually fat. even the “largest” characters i have seen drawn are just… larger chubby girls. zero acknowledgement of how fatness actually works.

I’m proud to announce that the project I’ve been working on for the past couple of months is finally out! Enjoy!
