signed a contract about a month ago, was told i'd get paid when the other party signed. A month went by so I emailed them and they're like "oh hey, we had all these questions and forms for you but we never sent them to you" BRO. I'm trying to get paid this friday, I'm already gonna pay rent late! 😀

“nine pretty darn angry men” and “the unbearable blindness of laying” deals with those themes. There’s also “escape from party island” where he realizes his mom’s obsession w miniatures, although they left him feeling confused + abandoned, were the only way his mom could cope with her abuse
Ángel 🦠 COMMISSIONS OPEN (@plutomaris.bsky.social) reply parent
There are multiple episodes where Hank has to wrestle with his own complicity in his father’s treatment towards his mother. I like that he has to come to terms with how saying nothing just to “keep the peace” just ends up hurting Tilly and he goes up against his dad, who he fears, and defends her.
Ángel 🦠 COMMISSIONS OPEN (@plutomaris.bsky.social)
In King of the Hill we hear a lot about how growing up Hank had to witness Cotton mistreating and abusing Tilly, and how Cotton raised Hank to see women as objects. I like that Hank instead grows up to marry Peggy, a woman who values her independence + who doesn’t fit feminine standards or wants to

I feel a little hopeless seeing people like Adam Friedland, who built a career on irony and alt humor, pleading, crying, begging people to have some compassion, a shred of humanity of empathy for murdered children and seeing that met with complete cold indifference.

The only problem is not feeling safe. Part of the reason I got so obsessed with passing was I used to live in a very conservative neighborhood and got harassed multiple times by large white men. I feel a little safer now but if you’re trans in a red state, you know what i’m talking about.
Ángel 🦠 COMMISSIONS OPEN (@plutomaris.bsky.social) reply parent
I’m just so done policing myself, whether it’s to be a good girl or a good boy. I’m both of those things and neither of those things, or one of those things one day and the other one another day. Idk. I’ve been too worried about finding a place to lock myself into and that’s not right.
Ángel 🦠 COMMISSIONS OPEN (@plutomaris.bsky.social) reply parent
I got super hung up on passing. I’d try and grow out my hair but cut it again the moment i got misgendered. I got rid of fem clothes I still loved, I stopped painting my nails for months, I didn’t wear any accessories. It was so miserable. What’s the point of transition if not to live freely?
Ángel 🦠 COMMISSIONS OPEN (@plutomaris.bsky.social) reply parent
When my old school Mexican dad accepted me as his son, I felt a lot of pressure to be the masculine kind of son I knew he’d wanted, and I will admit I was far more eager to live up to that than womanhood, but after a bit i realized it was sapping me dry just as much as trying to be a cis girl
Ángel 🦠 COMMISSIONS OPEN (@plutomaris.bsky.social)
i’m totally gonna butcher how I want to say this but experiencing life as “both” genders has only served to highlight to me how absurdly restrictive cïs society is, including cis gay people. Accepting I’m fluid in a world of boxes has made this very difficult to navigate.

this is so Old Man Yells At Cloud but what’s with the rising trend in commercials of having someone sing a song poorly through the entire thing? First noticed it in those xmas Etsy commercials, then in the burger king ads, and now the worst offender is that horrible Rover ad. It’s an auditory hell.

number one above all else is Osamu Tezuka. I still look to his work when i’m stuck on a stylistic choice. Keiko Takemiya is another major one. O’Malley has also mentioned Sailor Moon as an influence which also applies to me, specifically Ikuko Itoh’s work in the anime!

i’m not saying it’s a bad thing, i just think it betrays a fundamental misunderstanding that Brian Lee O’Malley and I are drawing from the same inspiration which is 60s/70s manga. Pretty much everyone who has compared my art to SP hasn’t read manga that isn’t super recent.
