Day 2
Free day
Forgive me for any mistakes in writting. Being non-native speaker gives a lot of insecurities while doing this.
I’ll keep things under the cut because as it turned out I’ve written much more than intended. If you are just for picture it’s at the end of the cutted text

Some doodles because I magically can pick up a pencil again
That Bradley pose is from one of Athena p videos. You don’t wanna know how long I wanted to draw him like this
I will do it more often
Also today was too good for me, I’m actually in awe. Somebody insult me or something, I can’t have one entirely good day. It’s a law of cosmos
It’s my third time with watercolor pencils
Happy Saint Patrick's Day! 🍀 If I could, I would wear a moss shamrock mushroom hoodie everyday
Day 4: AU
I decided to do my own AU in spawn of „oh my god this songs are so good, gotta do something with it”
Everyone here is Rockstars AU (a raw concept)
So basically - Max and Bradley know eachother from highschool (thankfully only for the year. It was Bradleys challenge to make Maxs life personal hell). Both have bad memories from that time so it indeed is a surprise when certain someone knocks to Goof’s family doors.
Max decided to make a band out of spite for Mona breaking up with him yet another, this time final time (I know it sounds bad. I have no braincells). He won’t admit he’s not taking this well, but won’t let himself process his emotions. But to make a band you need 1. Money 2. Someone who already knows industry. And Max doesn’t have any of that.
Bradley has (some) money but fall into reputation of unpleasant to work with and emotion driven, so he already was kicked out of two bands. As a revenge he plans to show how thanks to him and only him total newbies can change into rockstars. Too bad the most perfect candidate is his highschool punching bag. Wait- It’s even BETTER.
Now to the story I’m continuing for the maxley week this time quite long for me:
It’s been half a month since total wreck which was „Bradley situasion”. Max made a deal with Tank and the rest of the gammas to cut off their „pranks” on brunette. The rules are simple:
Bradley joins Team 99
Max remains friends with Bradley till December
Gammas can’t touch Bradley at any point unless any of first two points are broken
Bradley can’t know about any of these
If Max and his troop will achieve this gammas can’t pull any cheat on the X-Games, if not than they’ll have first hand experience what Brad had to endure since lost competition. And according to Tank they’ll need a miracle to make Bradley be friends with anyone.
”It’s already 17 of September. I’ll never do this” Max murmured to himself. Situasion seemed horrendous. The great Uppercrust III is more depressed and closed than anyone could ever imagine, Bobby starts to make scenes „I told you it’s a bad idea!” „People like that doesn’t change” „Don’t you remember what he did?”. It all was replaying in Maximilians head like a broken record.
„Maybe Bobs was right. Bradley is too prideful to receive any help, to broken to even consider someone might like him. How can he be such opposites?”
It seemed hopeless.
The phone started ringing. Who could it be? PJ needs help on a date? Bobby hurt himself? Dad? No, it was Bradley. Wait, what!? Him?
„Hello?” Max still unsure if it’s not a fever dream
”Oh, hi. Can we meet at the skate park? I need to ask you for favour.”
”Sssuuurrrreee”
”Thanks! See you at 5.00.”
That… was weird. It for sure is a fever dream. What would he want? Whyyyyy?
At the park Bradley already was skating. A bit slow and lazy for him, but it was still a lot of improvement. As soon as he saw Max, he stopped and come to him.
”Hey skater boy!” Bradley shouted when approaching.
”Hi. What is the favor you wanted to ask me for?”
”Oh, can’t we start with something more… cozy? Must be down to business right now?”
”You are acting weird. I’m worried you know?”
”Says the one who decided to get me into the team AND open up or something”
”Brad… ley; you scare me. What happened?”
”You won’t let go huh?”
”YOU made me go there”
Brad took a deep breath, looked at black-furred young man and finally went to the point
”My mum died and I need someone to write of what I get from her last will”
”Brad-„ Max gasped „I’m so sorry, I. When and where funeral is? And how can I help I-”
”Woah, slow down. It’s no biggie”
”NO BIGGIE!? YOUR MOTHER DIED.”
”She wasn’t any close to begin with. Really”
Max wasn’t buying it at all. He was even more scared than before. What to do?
”The destination might be a problem tho”
”Where it’ll be”
”Štenovice, in Czech Republic”
”Oh! I wasn’t expecting to be it so far”
”If that’s a problem I’m ok. I’ll just go alone”
”No. I always wanted to see some of the world. I even am a bit into slavic literature so… why Czech actually?”
”My paternal grandfather and mum are from there”
”Oh. Can I know why me?”
”You like jumping on topics aren’t you? I feel safe near you. I still think you should just give up on me but oh well. you kinda grew on me”
Maximilians heart started racing, he couldn’t believe what he just heard. It was relieving and somehow sweet. Now he felt like his mission finally have some sense.
„Sooo since we can call each other friends now-„
”I didn’t say that”
”Let me speak. I was always curious what breed are you. Are we close enough to share it?”
”I think yes. Well… man, I never told anyone what breed I am”
”No one? Like at all?”
”No one”
”It’ll be a pleasure to hear”
”Chodsky pes”
”I never heard of that! I’m labradoodle”
„Nice to know” Bradley finally smiled honestly. He felt at ease and almost like he found a new home. „Do you mind skating now?”
”No if I’ll learn something else about you”
”Maybe you start?”
”I’m into rock music, as said before slavic literature, pizza, anything with cheese really, I’m bi-„ at that moment Max stopped. He didn’t mean to say that.
„Fag” Bradleys word flew like an arrow
”Well” labradoodle felt like blood is leaving his brain „Your turn heh”
”I fell in love with metal, goth music and men”
”Wh…”
”I’m a homo idiot. And you’re pretty bad at hiding it”
All what Max could do was to show a middle finger. In some awful, almost gullible way he also felt at ease. The two finally broke the ice and could start anew and build over what they already have. Too bad someone’s death is the reason of it.
They finally stopped at late afternoon. Both boys felt a bit better yet very tired.
”Are you alright Bradley?”
”Yeah. I’m glad I called you”
”Me too. I want to make sure mourning won’t get better of you”
”It won’t. There’s not much to mourn. But today you gave me many reasons to remember”
The last line stung. There’s still a lot to find out about this chodsky.
A signature doesn't ruin your art. It enhances it. It's your calling card. The final touch. The dot over the i. Your seal of approval. It’s your way of saying, regardless of where it may end up; “I made this.” This sort of identifying ownership is important.
I’m what you want, not what you need.
So what you want?
Please remind me to never use cheap markers again

when I drew this comic 3 years ago I had NO idea how far it would reach. I'm happy to finally share a corrected version with proper abbreviations, and even MORE state names of indigenous origin ♥️
however, the goal of this comic was to inspire people to do your OWN research on indigenous history. To question everything we have been taught, and everything that has been pointedly left out. This erasure, this “forgetting”, of history is not just of the past… it is happening now. - Across so-called Canada, the US, and US-occupied islands, native women are victims of murder at 10-12x the rate of non-native people, and are the most likely to go missing without being searched for by the law. - Native reservations have the highest rates of poverty in the US, with over HALF of tribal homes with no access to clean water (with more joining this list by the year) - Native people are 6-10x more likely to be unhoused than the rest of the population, and native teens suffer suicide rates higher than any other demographic. This list of modern day genocide goes on (thank you for compiling @theindigenousanarchist <3) and yet take a look at those environmental stats!
Native people manage to do SO much for the planet as a whole - thanklessly - and with all this stacked against them. Don't even get me started on kin fighting in south america. Could you imagine if there was help? #landback is resistance to genocide, and it is the key to saving our warming earth.
So look into it and the other hashtags, cuz a cartoon goose ain't a substitute for a proper education. Love to my grandparents who always kept a map of tribal territories of turtle island on their wall, to speaking on our Tsalagi & Saponi heritage. Love & solidarity forever, happy research, and happy #indigenouspeoplesday
