If Youāve been around Tumblr a while, youāll probably recognize the artwork of @modmad
Be it from her lovely dhmis workā¦
Or maybe from her gravity falls periodā¦
Or maybe from osomatsu-san?
Or mp100?
Or perhaps you may know her as the person who singlehandedly built/revived the Magicstone tag and the Gladstone gander fandom
Or even from her thesis film, Skip
She even did some great work in the Steam Powered Giraffe and Ace Attourney fandoms, as iām told
Why am I bringing all of this up?
Because mod is currently working on a kickstarter to publish a second volume of her webcomic, The Property of Hate!
As you can see, as of today, October 30th, there are only 9 days to go and weāre barely halfway there
Why should you care about Tpoh? Well, in addition to being a charming, heartwrenching, pun-filled and exciting adventure, it also features an extremely diverse cast of characters. The main characters are a young british-indian girl and her telly-headed guide (who is canonically pansexual, with both a girlfriend and an ex boyfriend appearing in canon). There are a wonderful pair of wives, a nonbinary main character as well as a genderfluid one, and all kinds of amazing twists and turns. Not to mention the art is amazing
Basically, if youāre not reading it already, you definitely should. And you should also help Mod make this amazing step forward into getting her story out to a broader audience.
The kickstarter link is here
And you can start reading the comic from the beginning here
Or see more of modās collected work here or on her Tumblr blog, @modmad
Please, help a great artist and a great person make her dreams come true!
Iām going to point out some weird things about @projecttrinityās upcoming visual novelĀ āWomen of Xalā in relation to this site.
1) Itās an upcoming Kickstarter bound otome game that very obviously is PoC / People of Color & WoC/ Women of Color centric. Weāve got a bi female lead with several romancable women. And itās in a harsh matriarchal society ready to give some brutal parallels to our own. Being helmed by a very capable and snarky Black writer. The two programmers are women. The artists are women. The singers are women. One of the animators is a woman. AND THEREāS TANGIBLE QUALITY TO IT! I thought weāve been asking for more projects like this for years now. But Tumblr has been the most quiet of the four sites itās updating on??? (Youtube, Facebook, LemmSoftForums, Tumblr)Ā
2) How are hateful anons finding this project before everyone else? Why are we letting Black creatives feel like the anon has a point about Tumblr not caring? Isnāt this site notorious for propping up content like this? Where are my feminists at?!
Like, I truly get it: Most of you will have only just heard of this. And Tumblr didnāt make it easy in the first place. Tags and timing are madly important. But so are reblogs and follows! Youāre reading this now - thereās nothing truly stopping you from showing that anon the middle finger. For every time WE DONāT JUSTĀ āHEARTā A CREATIVEāS POST and reblog/follow their content, we prove hateful anons like this wrong. And every time we prove them wrong, we send an encouraging message to other minorities who want to share their passions with the world, but face that uphill battle.
And hey, the writer clearly has faith in this site still:
You can find out more about the projectĀ here.
Or, better yet, follow, and support the team here!
(Bonus Note: If youāre someone who has been reblogging a lot of content from this team as well, cheers, fellow sisters! <3)

so uhhh i was at safeway after refilling my prescriptions (because im sad bitch disease) and i decided to go through the card aisle when i left and foundā¦ā¦ā¦..
oh????
OH??????
im softā¦ā¦ā¦ this made me really happy, even if itās something so smallā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.. happy pride month everyone š³ļøāšššššš
man, something iāve noticed is that people really, really love to talk about bi people as if the only bisexuals that exist are bi women. and itās really offputting, because bi men are already ostracized enough as it is.
hell, the lack of resources for multisexual men is so large that thereās a large percentage of men thatā¦never even realize theyāre bi/pan. they live their entire lives feeling isolated and confused about their identity and who they are due to a lack of education, a lack of information, a lack of resources.
i never, ever see posts and resources and kind words for my bi brothers, and that needs to change. the bisexual community is the largest out of the lgbt community. we need to stand up for each other, for every single one of us. bi men exist, bi enbies exist. please actively work harder to be more inclusive, for your bi siblingsā sake.
I KNOW this will be controversial, especially on here, but Iām gonna say it.
Seeing MLM pairings as your āyaoiā, kink, or guilty pleasure is really homophobic. Yāall making mlm parings seem all taboo and really oversexualizing them. Itās harmful.
āDID YOU JUST ASSUME MY GENDER??!!ā hahaha itās funny because trans people have a life expectancy of 34 specifically because of hate-based violence
