top five comics

Oh, it’s been a while. My experience of comics/graphic media has always been limited by what someone in small town Ireland can get her hands on. But the ones I remember:

The Arrival, by Shaun Tan. I was so awed by this book when I first read it. This wordless, beautiful exploration of the immigrant experience, and the wordlessness of it is part of the point, the exploration of language barrier in a medium that won’t suffer from it. Also, the art is just gorgeous, the myriad tiny human details. I love this book.

No Man’s Land, Batman. My access to various storylines in the Big 2 has been extremely limited, I’ve usually gotten my fix from the cartoons. Hush was my first physical comic storyline, but then I got (parts of) No Man’s Land. And I love Gotham, so much, I love the city as a character, and No Man’s Land was such a story for that. Such a story.

Courtney Crumrin and the Night Things, by Ted Naifeh. This was a very random series I stumbled across when I first got access to an actual comic shop, about a pugnacious asshole of a girl as she stumbles into her Uncle Aloysius’ world of magic, warlocks and fairies. It was such a random thing to find, but I enjoyed it a lot.

Tales from the Loop, by Simon Stålenhag. Technically an art book? But such an immersive one. There’s such a world built in it. I don’t know what it is about the snowfields and everyday people and strange alien machines of this man’s art, but it sucks you in wholesale.

I really, really, really like Moebius’ (Jean Girard) art. I’ve gotten it mostly in pieces online, but things like his Metal Hurlant/Heavy Metal stories, Arzach in particular. I just … really like his art, particularly when he’s dealing with alien worlds and vast landscapes and beautiful crystals and strange hallucinogenic surroundings. His work is so pretty.

#ask games #comics #graphic media #this is a very random list #also apparently pretty art is a determining factor for me

Yearly reminder to everyone trying to find alternatives to tumblr/social media in general: go make a Neocities account and teach yourself basic HTML and post your art/writing/shitposts there.

It does take extra time to set up (but there are templates out there!) but it is so so worth it to have a site that is 100% YOURS!

You don’t even have to be that good at coding. I’m not. My site is not very accessible via mobile devices but that is fine with me (keeps me off my phone) but there are plenty of ways to make your site mobile friendly. There are plenty of bare bones/accessible sites I adore purely for the media on it.

Imagine having your site on your phone and showing someone- hey! I coded this from scratch. And I didn’t even have to pay a company like squarespace. All your images, links, writings, in one place. I have my fandom edits, memes, fanart, and custom graphics there.

Neocities has a very bare bones follower and comment system, but you can disable this if you want your site to truly abstain from any social media-isms. I use it because its a great way to meet other webmasters and get help with coding problems. Neocities isn't an exact replacement for Tumblr (no reblogging here) but html coding is an invaluable skill to know, as is keeping a personal website in this day in age.

The awesome thing about having your own website is if, god forbid, Neocities goes down, you can move your site to any other number of hosting platforms (like Teacake.org). Your site is truly YOURS, and no one else (shitty tech CEO cough cough) can take it away from you.

If you need help getting started, I recommend checking out sadgrl.online. (More links to resources in the comments section of this post).

I know neocities has been talked about before, especially within my follower circle, but I thought I'd bring it up again for anyone unaware of this awesome platform.

Someone brought this up on instagram, so now I'm curious how things overlap.

There is no "I just like answering polls" option here because, as a good scientist, I don't want to deal with junk data. Please reblog for a larger sample size!
