I’m a bio!kid Jason Todd truther. But in the sense that neither of them realize it. But literally everyone who’s ever met them is like “yeah he looks a loooooot like Bruce”
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!
Newborn CJ and Raph taking a nice nap. I’ll tell ya right now, as someone who has held babies: it’s fucking terrifying. But what I do like is when they are sleepy. It’s nice to have a warm potato sack gently breathing on your chest. I have no doubts that Raph would eat that kind of time up. Get himself centered again.
