My piece for the Swarm Zine!! A tribute to the version of ‘Everyone Hates the Eagles’ that was played at the Sydney 1 show :DD
This was such a cool opportunity and as critical as I am about my work from last year, it’s incredibly surreal to see the art that I and so many other incredible artists and writers have worked so hard on through the months in printed form at last🫡
My piece for @mcrswarmzine!
A mini comic about becoming who you were always meant to be.
Like many teenagers in the 00's, I had very little exposure to queer art and culture. I grew up in a small coastal town in New Zealand, surrounded by natural beauty. By contrast, I could not have felt uglier - inside and out.
I turned on the TV after school one day and caught the tail end of the music video for 'I'm Not Okay'. For the first time I heard and saw an expression of the angst and anguish already swirling about in my monstrous adolescent body. I knew then I wanted to be an artist and musician. I didn't yet know why I couldn't see myself in the mirror.
My Chemical Romance meant everything to me.
As I stood at the barrier for their first show in Auckland in a decade, I realised that it was coincidentally my ten-year anniversary of starting hormones.
Some things change a great deal, others never do. I was transported back to my parent's living room that night and hopefully got across that special feeling on my page!
uh hey gang. it’s goth dyke Trixie and Katya here to bring you a VERY overdue episode about illness and disability in Part 2 of our Angels in America episode DROPPING TOMORROW AM ON SPOTIFY APPLE PODCASTS ETC!
We’ve got a lot of reading this week, from revisiting Angels in America to Susan Sontag to Eli Clare. We’re exploring metaphors of illness and cure and how they work in Angels in America and in the Black Parade.
Topics include: Susan Sontag’s triumphant return to the pod, sexy tuberculosis, being Gun. haters, absolutely pummeling Cancer, unholyverse mention, transgender body horror in Mama, Stomachaches, a brief Kombucha interlude, problems with madness and prophecy, “The worst thing about being sick in America is that you’re booted out of the parade”, cure and living with illness, and free top surgery at Las Vegas Festival Grounds.
Being in love with a real life person that you can call on the phone and make out with really does cure the need to consume 50+ photos of Gerard Way a day I highly recommend it.
Literally not on this website anymore due to getting a non binary partner and starting a rock band. Life is good. The sun shines and the birds chip in the trees. Will post my piece for the swarm zine however. Sorry not sorry for the flex faggots ❤️
