They Are Bl Manga To Me

guess what arrived in the mail today!

i was lucky enough to be one of the giveaway winners! 🎉

i love this zine and the creativity behind it! i really like when zines present themselves in different ways, wether that's artbooks, writing books, or in this case encouraging the reader to create crafts around the subject matter (being a pairing we all know and love 🤍)

even if i was too late to be part of it, getting to read something like this and have it physically is beyond awesome! and thanks to the friends over at @gallacrafts for putting together such an awesome zine. 🤍🤍🤍

MORE INFECTED…..

u thought i was done infected posting… WRONG

photo credit goes to the amazing robbie buriedgrapes @buriedgrapes

infected design inspiration goes to the person so boring i fall asleep whenever i even talk to them (true fact happened last night and the night before) @unoriginal-and-dumb

if anyone’s curious all my infected pictures were taken at requiem cafe in anaheim!! im a frequent customer there and i highly recommend it to literally anyone who can go, the customer service is amazing and its queer owned and queer friendly!! and very neurodivergent friendly too, theres comfortable seating in the tree lounge with enough space to not feel claustrophobic, the lights are always low which makes it easier to avoid sensory overload, theres lots of textures and colors to look at and feel in all the themes, and theres an item shop with stuffed animals that’s generally much quieter than the main area and plays soft animal crossing music. i know some of the staff personally and they love working there and feel confortable there!!! and beyond all that the drinks and food are just SOOO good. the drinks are generally around 5-8 dollars depending on the size and add-ons you get and the food is around 12-16 dollars. everything on the menu is fantasy/gaming themed with some references to popular fandoms like fnaf and danganronpa!! its located just over the freeway from disneyland & the anaheim convention center!! go check it out!!! give them business!!! they’re wonderful!!! they also do frequent events for fandoms you dont see get public attention much. they just had an owl house event in february and before that they had a persona 5 event in the fall, and between that theyve had little events here and there like a halloween party and a scott pilgrim new year’s celebration. they’re having a homestuck event next month with a ticketed (sold out) 4/13 dance party and a ticketed (still open!) 4/20 trickster rave (i will be at that one!) PLEASE GO GIVE THEM BUSINESS THEY ARE SO AWESOME

bonus:

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Puppies getting warm and toasty by the fire, ok?

saltburn is a romcom btw sorry to those who don't get it. pin in the bike tyre is just intentionally spilling a drink on your crush for the chance to touch their skin while wiping them down. embellishing a story so they find you interesting? been there. who hasn't drugged a bottle of champagne to kill them with when they don't reciprocate your feelings. that's what young love is all about

covid-19 fandom survey

here’s something i’ve been working on for quite some time!

i’ve been curious specifically about the impact the covid-19 pandemic and quarantine has had on fandom spaces, those in them, and the culture surrounding that. i don’t know too many people so it’s hard to get a concrete answer just out of observation -- that’s where you come in!

i’ve made a google form with some basic identity questions and questions based on your experiences - negative and positive - in fandom spaces over the last year. all i ask is that you are over the age of 13 at the time of taking this survey. i implore you to take it if you are transgender, lgbt+, or a fan-of-colour. i want your voices to be heard.

here is the survey link (more info below the cut)

provided i get enough answers to the survey, i’ll use the information for a study in the future -- if not, i may just publish it all as a post here, for you all to mind.

please spread this survey if you took it already or aren’t comfortable taking it yourself!
