webcomics*! webcomics baby!!! i grew up reading these bad boys like they were the sunday funnies. im serious i would get up early in so i could check my daily roster of webcomic updates before leaving for school.

webcomics sort of feel to me like my generations version of zines. not that both those things arent still around, i just mean that, in the same way that there was this big boom of super creative zine self-publishing in the 70s through the 90s thanks to the increasing access to copy machines, and later home printing, the early 00s-10s was sort of the moment people seemed to collectively realize they could kind of just upload whatever they wanted to the internet and people would actually see it, leading naturally to another boom in indie art and storytelling.

a lot of the comics that popped up around this time were sort of... rough. raw. weird. there were no rules about what a webcomic had to be other than 1) a comic and 2) on the web, so there was some freedom to be as messy or as precise as the author wanted. this led to some real bangers, and some absolute flops. but regardless of how it turned out i think theres something to be admired about the sheer amount of creativity going into these projects that, for the most part, were purely passion-driven without any guarantee of greater recognition or success.

obviously webcomics are still around, but the culture surrounding them has shifted quite a bit. most people who are willing to put in the work of a longform serialized comic In This Economy are also doing so with the hope of being able to profit or at least sustain themselves financially on their work. theres no shame in that! but it has made the webcomic scene more competitive, more polished, less experimental. capitalism at work, you know.

people arent really as incentivized to try new things and dare i say get a little weird with it when innovation doesnt pay the pills. however that doesnt mean that there arent still artists out there who are challenging that.

i got the idea a while ago that i wanted to put together a list of webcomics that have been really influential to me and my own creative efforts, but i realized that list would be a mile long and wouldnt really give me the breathing room to talk about why those works resonate with me. so i decided instead to make a list specifically of my (currently) most beloved, most influential webcomics that i feel like are doing something unique that sort of pushes the boundaries of what is considered a "normal" comic.

presented in no particular order, with all attempts made to be spoiler-free, below:

nasty red dogs and feast for a king by kosmicdream (18+)

delicious, dark, meaty comics. ffak in particular is like this massive sprawling scifi stream of consciousness thick with blood and viscera and. a lot of highly transsexual erotic cannibalism tbqh.

personally i find nasty red dogs a lot more like easy to get into story-wise, but both are just chockablock full of this beautiful grotesque unapologetic and downright indulgent physicality. its pages dripping with every fluid you can think of and some you cant, and its also compelling surprisingly empathetic characters set against a backdrop of otherworldly rituals, cosmic pre-apocolypses, and worlds inside of worlds inside of worlds. body horror heaven lives here.

mr boop and crimehot by alec robbins (very 18+)

if youre at all into weird webcomics youre probably already well familiar with mr boop, and if you arent theres really nothing i can say other than Please give it a shot, but if you havent been keeping up with alecs work since then you might not be as familiar with his current project crimehot. and thats a damn shame because it is all the comedy, unabashed horniness, and surprisingly understated storytelling of mr boop taken to its absolute max.

crimehot is set in a future where nearly every aspect of human life and culture is controlled by an all-powerful all-seeing computer algorithm. but who cares about all that when theres a ragtag team of ultra sexy ultra horny master thieves going on wacky little misadventures together!

alecs style is blunt and simplistic in a way that comes off as juvenile at first glance, and then uses that presumption to completely blindside you with its actual content, reminding me weirdly enough of memeable classic tails gets trolled. in spite of their potential as works of ironic comedy however alecs comics really give me this impression of total earnestness. crimehot in particular is so blatantly un-erotic, with its complete lack of any subtlety, comically exaggerated (and surprisingly diagetic) anatomy, and impossible physical positions, that it circles back around into becoming, indeed, kind of hot. i think silliness can be hot so sue me!

blind alley by adam de souza

departing completely from my last couple recs, blind alley is a cozy, peanuts-inspired comic strip about the day to day lives of the children of blind alley. its also occasionally a deeply unsettling horror-mystery that has just barely begun to show its hand more than two years in. its distinguishing factor to me comes from the fact that the cozy exterior doesnt seem to be there to conceal or divert your attention away from the growing sense of unease that infiltrates its panels on an increasingly frequent basis as the story progresses. it feels more like the two elements live side by side, horror and mundanity, otherworldly creatures and secret conspiracies living peacefully alongside lazy summer afternoons and goofing off with your friends. it perfectly captures the anxiety of knowing that theres something the grown-ups arent telling you, the powerlessness of being a kid.

blind alley feels to me sort of like if those "what if Nostalgic Cartoon was secretly DARK" media theories were actually real, and actually scary. i might be getting ahead of myself as the series likes to take its time and is really only just starting to peel back the layers, but what ive read so far feels makes me feel like this could be something very special.

boy island by leo fox

beautiful beautiful beautiful first of all. the dreamy, surreal visuals? the colors?? oujhjh.. boy island is set in a world split violently in two, divided into boy island and girl island, and surrounded on all sides by a sea of monsters mutants and ghosts, those sorry souls who committed the trespass of trying to cross from one land to the other, or even live outside of either! a boy named lucille must strike out on his own to make it to boy island, but in doing so begins to discover things about the world and in fact himself that reveal an even greater mission.

im making this all sound very dramatic. its a trans story. its about trans people, being trans. its also about surviving the ripples of a world laid out for you by your parents, managing grief for the ones that didnt, and a funny little blue guy named jounce. also did i mention its gorgeous? hot fuckin diggity it is gooorgeous.

vivians ghost by hal schrieve (18+)

speaking of trans comics!! (plot twist: theyre all trans comics suckerrrr) look, all of hals comics are fucking baller and im sure the book zes got coming out will be too, but ive like Imprinted on this one. its attached itself my brain. much like the main protagonist collin has been attached to by his suicide victim best friend and ex highschool bf viv!

the sketchy art style threw me off at first but it quickly becomes part of the charm and meshes very well with the chaotic pace and gutpunch emotional moments. theres a strong element of magical realism that i honestly think comics as a medium were made for. viv is a ghost, and viv is grief, and guilt, and fantasy, and shame, and glorious trans revenge taken form, and hes not even the only apparition in this story, taking the stage alongside cameos by jesus christ, a detransitioners fursona, almanda palmer, and (checks notes) gonzo for a second there i think.

as a disclaimer (or incentive, depending) no one in this story i think is someone you could really call a good person. some of them are in fact plainly terrible. they are all so undeniably fucking fascinating though. and viv himself gleefully inhabits that moral gray area, deliberately and loudly disturbing any image of himself as a pure perfect victim, blurring lines and thrusting both the characters and audience out of their comfort zone. its a challenging read thats not going to be everyone for sure, but i definitely think its worth the read.

(and if this sounds interesting to you but youre not sure you can handle it, hal has other equally good comics that are still heavy on the trans gay relationship drama but much lighter on the childhood trauma.)

what happens next by maximumgraves

if youre reading this on tumblr i hope that youve at least heard of what happens next by now. thee seminal tumblrina art of our time i swear. it starts with a true crime podcast exploring the strange story of griffin and his accomplice milo, trans teen murderers, the latter of which has since been released from the psych hospital while the former continues to serve his sentence. but thats in the past, and in the present milo still has to figure out how to live the rest of his life.

the story moves rapidly, though not necessarily chronologically, in and out of the real world and the online lives its characters frequently inhabit like its guiding you through a twisted dream. its a comic on the internet about the internet from someone clearly well aware of its more poisonous aspects, as well as the addictive quality it can have for someone who has become otherwise isolated from the world.

at the end of the day though the major appeal i think is the characters, how messy and horrible and tragic they can be, which is all you can really hope for from a largely character-driven narrative. to say much more i think would ruin the experience, but ill say what happens next absolutely delivers on its ominous title, and im waiting on the edge of my seat for the next chapter.

preeny has to repeat 6th grade by momodriller

on a Much lighter note, preeny has to repeat 6th grade is a super cute adventure series about a magical little kitty named preeny who on her first day of sixth grade is called upon to go on a great mission. its a sparklefur comic!! ive been really starting to dive into furry art lately, and if youre the kind of person who raises an eyebrow at that statement, fine, whatever, but im talking to the cool people right now so keep it to yourself.

art from within the furry subculture is such insanely creative and passionate stuff, and the focus on this subset in particular, calling back to the early 2000s deviantart xD rAWR s0 rand0m era of online culture, feels so intensely nostalgic it makes my chest ache, despite never being heavily involved in the sparklefur scene myself.

the author states in the comics description that the story takes inspiration from her experiences as an autistic child, and even before reading that man i felt it. what really makes this comic unique to me though is that the majority of characters that appear are based on adoptables the author purchased off of, as she puts it, the children of deviantart. i LOVE that. not only is that probably amazing for the kids, it makes every character feel truly unique and adds perfectly to the overall flavor of the world shes created. there is just not another comic i can think of that feels alive like this one.

broccoli soup by secretpie

ok so i know how we might feel about webtoon comics but hear me out. broccoli soup is probably the first comic ive seen to really exploit the otherwise sort of bland and restrictive format of webtoons, utilizing the excess of white space to enhance the feeling of emptiness that characterizes the protagonist broccoli's time in the blank void they call home as well as to make the sparse use of color really pop in contrast.

broccoli soup is a mysterious series thats a little hard to pin down in terms of genre. a strange little being named broccoli spends their days in a vast blankness drinking tea with their loving yet highly suspicious Best Friend and benefactor, doris. doris has the ability to move between worlds, coming and going as she pleases, while broccoli is only allowed to leave when they are on a mission on her behalf. these missions vary, but the goal is always the same: make everything Polite and Good.

as the story progresses, little by little more friends and more color come into broccolis still new existence. the art style also changes from world to world, which imo is a very nice touch. and! theres music! its an interesting project that dances back and forth between fantastical whimsy and some surprisingly dark moments. and thats the shit i like to see.

thats all for now! though if im lucky there will be many more fun stories and projects to talk about in the future. keep in mind as well that this is like barely half of all the webcomics im currently reading, just the ones that most stick out to me as really doing something special.

until next time yall!!

oh wait sike honorable mentions time

awful hospital by bogleech

the only reason this isnt up there with the rest is bc im woefully behind at the moment. ill get back to it eventually! awful hospital is an interactive multimedia horror-comedy webcomic about a hospital that is. well this hospital is simply sub-par to say the least.

hedgehog's dilemma by mellodilla

this ones still a little new to say much on but so far it looks like a cute series. what most appeals to me is that the art style looks like something that fit in seamlessly with an early 90s newspaper comic strip. in particular it has a strong calvin and hobbes vibe to me. just, you know, about wacky lil lesbian animals living their lives.

ok now im done for real

*for clarity's sake, im using webcomic here to mean "a series of comics that was first published and predominantly exists online" so even if a print version exists, i still consider it to be first and foremost a webcomic. this also includes comics that contain a multimedia or interactive element. if its a combination of pictures and words to tell a story, its a comic.

also my list is probably going to end up massively favoring serialized fiction because thats just what i like to read, but i dont necessarily think thats a required element.

#ungodly screeching #recommendations #kinda off topic but also kinda not lol #this got way out of hand #oh also if i got anyones pronouns wrong pls let me know! i tried to track everyones down

DNDADS AU: Red Zone

Red Zone is a zombie apocalypse AU following the characters from season 2 of dungeons and daddies!

Now, it doesn't follow the original fall of humanity, the first outbreak. Instead, we jump two generations, humanity has steady feet once again, the whole world is not reclaimed, hell half the country is still infested, but the threat is nowhere near as much as a daily looming thought as it used to be. Thanks in part, to green zones.

Green Zones are walled in cities or settlements completely free of the infected, with mandatory tests regularly and very rarely do people leave. In the years since the first fall, even trade between the cities has been accomplished, and internet has been re-established. Though of course back up self sustaining measures are also in place should the worse happen.

There are still infected, obviously, but now there are also mutations, smaller ones and more deadly variants. Minor mutations affect at least a quarter of the modern populus, including scary! With more extreme ones being rare and often stigmatised but surprisingly controllable; a strain Taylor has falls into this category.

Three out of four of the teens live within a green zone in what was formerly known as San Dimas, California. Normal is the only one who lives in the red zone, it's the area with some of the highest infection percent and is deemed unsafe to live in, but people like the oaks, who have proven to the new government bodies that they are being serious (safe house, tests regularly, many precautions) have been allowed legally to stay there. Normal gets a ride into the green zone with hero daily to go to school, where they are tested as they enter.

One day, the teens all find themselves in Detention, which you'd assume wouldn't be a thing after the apocolypse but hey here we are!

They sneak out, and on a stupid shitty dare and sense of adventure boosted by the fact normal lives there, they venture into the red zone.

Who would have thought that one choice would lead to the second fall of humanity to the virus? Certainly not the teens.

All thanks to finding their father's base, with may Hales holding down the fort in their seeming disappearance she allows the teens access to the whole base....

Including the basement floors, at the bottom of which sits an ever-young patient zero. W. Stampler. I wonder what happens when they let him out?

---

I'll get more into details and more specifics on the kids and plots etc in other posts!!! Or please send me an ask about anything y'all wanna know!

Au made by me and @orionis13 !!!

Yet another racist post about omnics from looking up a simple question.

I googled, "Do omnics eat?" Cause I was curious if they did or not, and one of the FIRST POSTS was called "Omnics shouldn't be allowed in restaurants."

The post read, "Omnics do not eat and by allowing this “person” into your dining establishment what do they offer? What CAN they offer? They’re not going to buy anything it’s a diner and that seat that Omnic is sitting in could be used for a paying customer. This has bothered me for years now, and I’m just bored enough to make a post about it." Like... who's the say they arnt being charged to stay?? Maybe, in the world of overwatch, they charge omnics AND people who want to stay in an eating establishment without the intent on ordering anything. Maybe its like a buffet where, rather than pay for the food itself, you pay for the seating.

They also responded to a post telling them to not be racist by saying "Well that’s the thing, I can’t be racist against a machine. It’s a machine." Like, yeah, a SENTIENT machine shown to have SELF AWARNESS AND INDIVIDUAL THOUGHTS.

Like, I get that, yes, having people who don't eat take up seating can be annoying, but at the same time, HUMANS DO THIS TOO!! Like, ALOT!! But they're SPECIFICALLY calling out Omnics, wtf??

Also, this post was made in 2019, and yet they still be acting like being prejudiced against omnics isn't a bit deal.

Ok at this point I think you have access to the in universe internet of Overwatch-

Like wtf?!

Ok but I'm also confused about the whole being charged to stay thing, idk if this is just an Australian thing, and it doesn't happen in full blown fancy restaurants, but it's very common here for people to just chill at food establishments and bars just to watch the TV or get out of the heat/rain.

Is this not a common thing to do?

Also another thing that could happen is charging stations? Like instead of eating they just charge themselves?

We know they can be hacked so it's not out of the question that they could also be charged like any other electronic device.

ALSO THINK LIKE THAT IS WHAT CAUSES 100% OF ROBOT APOCOLYPSES-

Why do people online struggle with basic empathy?

Why do people think like this, you'd think that if we had two character who previously held those beliefs but are now questioning those beliefs it would get people to think "hum, maybe, just maybe, the way I'm thinking is a problem?"

Idk man, some people just have no media literacy.

Theme 3 Blog Post - Critical Literacy in Accessing Internet Reference Resources

Real-world examples that catch students' attention are a great way to model Critical Literacy. eg: In 2018 the B.C. Government was still publishing the "Zombie Apocolypse Preparedness Guide" in video and in print. I asked a class of Grade 3's if they thought this was real.

I led them through the survival steps and asked if those might also work for earthquakes, etc. (We also brainstormed other ideas. Some of them were fun.) At the end, I asked them why the B.C. Government might publish such a guide. We concluded that their purpose was to grab peoples' attention, to read an emergency plan because the usual one may have been practical but too boring for some readers.

Teachers Pay Teachers offers Critical Thinking/Literacy units in Advertising, News Media for current, outrageous "fake news" stories, even ChatGPT Reading. The latter's statistics may sometimes be out of date because of its training datasets. It can also present biased information because it can't evaluate data or be skeptical enough yet.

When using Google Chrome, AI now often offers a short paragraph at the top. Beneath it is the URL/link to the source article. However, if one checks this source, one may find the website doesn't even exist or is unreliable.

"AI will make it easier to do everything - the good and the bad..."."2024 is the year AI goes mainstream."*

https://gluusociety.org/ai-guide/

Introducing critical literacy in your library learning commons (LLC) requires collaboration between the classroom teacher and the teacher librarian. Here's a plan on how to do it effectively:

Collaborative Planning:

Initiate a meeting between the classroom teacher and the teacher librarian to discuss the integration of critical literacy into the curriculum.

Identify key learning objectives and standards related to critical literacy that align with the subject being taught.

Curriculum Integration:

Identify opportunities within the curriculum where critical literacy skills can be integrated. This could include analyzing texts, media, or current events from multiple perspectives, questioning power dynamics, or examining bias and stereotypes.

Design lesson plans and activities that incorporate critical literacy principles. For example, students could analyze different versions of a historical event from various cultural perspectives or critically evaluate advertisements for underlying messages.

Resource Selection and Curation:

Collaborate to select resources such as books, articles, videos, and online tools that support critical literacy objectives. Ensure that the resources represent diverse voices and perspectives.

Curate a collection of resources in the LLC that promote critical thinking and inquiry skills. This could include thematic displays, book lists, and multimedia resources that encourage students to question and engage critically with information.

Instruction and Guided Inquiry:

Co-teach lessons that introduce critical literacy concepts and strategies. Provide opportunities for students to engage in guided inquiry, where they explore topics of interest and critically evaluate information sources.

Foster discussions that encourage students to analyze, question, and challenge assumptions. Model critical thinking processes and provide scaffolding as needed.

Assessment and Reflection:

Develop assessment strategies that allow students to demonstrate their understanding of critical literacy concepts. This could include collaborative, small-group projects.

Reflect on the effectiveness of the critical literacy instruction and make adjustments as needed. Solicit feedback from students and colleagues for future planning and implementation.

Promotion and Advocacy:

Share success stories and examples of student work that demonstrate the impact of critical literacy instruction.

Promote the LC as a hub for critical inquiry and information literacy. Host workshops, author talks, or book clubs that encourage students to explore diverse perspectives and engage critically with information.

Create a Learning Commons Tab on the school website with reliable online sources.

By providing opportunities for guided inquiry, you can create a dynamic learning environment that empowers students to think critically, communicate effectively, and become informed and engaged citizens.

Why are *beans* the staple apocolypse canned food? That and tomato soup-

I get it beans and soup were like a joke for awhile but even now there's just so many beans

Is there any science behind this? Did someone just add beans to their popular apocalypse media and the internet was like: yep that sounds right to me. Are beans some kind of super food that would be king in an apocalypse?

I live! So the voices of the void, cool game right? You have When The Day Breaks reference, backroom referance( bc of course you do), aliems, and a world ending memetic apocolypse that you can trigger by listening to a cassette. Standard spooky stuff, right? Well while you deal with the sleep deprivation demon you can hold your sweetest new friend Maxwell to comfort you. That's right, they put the internet's goodest kitty in it. You have to set the roach value to low to find him and get some nice roach repellent so those mean bugs don't feast on his sweet kittyflesh! I like this game I think. Have Up by Worthikids if I haven't given you that already.

Ooo fun!!! You get a little friend.......

sometimes i think about what ive been calling pre internet queerness and i feel some kind of. lord. some kind of yearning and a pang of nostalgia that i dont even have because i was never alive to expirience it. i have this image in my head of all sorts of queer folk leaning on eachother and forming tight networks and sharing resorces and caring for eachother that i am aware isnt accurate but that will neveer go away no matter how much i try to make it. my rational brain keeps telling me that the queer community of the 80s and 90s must have had its petty discourse and its rivalrys and its bad apples and it must have burned violently under the oppressive force of a society and government that wanted them fucking dead (queer as in fuck you)- but my heart conjures images of people who feel this spark of recognition in eachother like some kind of queer spidey sense and stop at nothing to love eachother. stop a nothing to fight for eachother. maybe its my apocolypse survival loving heart. but theres this comradery you have with other hated people in knowing that people want you dead. and knowing that the rebellion is living by any means necessary.

god. anyway.

Okay, i'm going to give some information on the Megaten games since I feel I should.

Basically they were inspired by a old japanese book series, basically about how computer coding is sorta similar to the strict, arcane rituals of summoning demons. In this case, demons being anything from any religion/folklore/mythology. (This also includes some closed religions, which is where some of the offensiveness comes from. At the time when the games were first made, it wasn't as well known that it was offensive, so it was sorta grandfathered in? Its probably not correct, but its one of those things that i'm not sure how you'd change if you could? )

Games tend to be very dark in tone, especially the modern ones. Basically, end of the world happened, and you're not going to stop it. But you can determine the path going forward. Each game has multiple endings, and none of them are considered a 'golden ending'. The neutral ending tends to be the closest, but even then it can be bittersweet, or asks you to consider the other choices/think about wether or not this is truly a good ending/a good future. It can make for some pretty powerful story moments.

People often describe the gameplay as "I'm being literally tortured, I love it :D" The games will throw so much terrible, awful, monstrous game design decisions at you, depending on how old the game is. Such as 'teleport maze where there are no visible cues, invisible walls, pitfalls/spin traps, and no map'. or just flat out kill you randomly in a random encounter, setting you back to wherever the last save was. So its just, this very rough game, but a sort of viciousness that someone could find enjoyable. Not everyone, but it absolutely has its audience.

The 3ds has Soul hackers (a sega saturn game that's actually getting a sequel soon!), Shin megami Tensei Strange Journey (A fairly dark-in tone game but also well liked ) Shin Megami Tensei IV (A mainline game many people consider to be the best, and has a lot of trigger warnings to it. They all do but I have seen some of the most messed up things in that game specifically. ) Shin Megami Tensei IV apocolypse (A sequel that people don't like as much as the original)

It also has Devil Survivor 1 and 2, A tactics like game that was meant to introduce people in the west to the franchise. Unlike most of the games that one's actually rated T, which makes it a bit more accessible/easy to recommend. The first one tells a dark, but hopeful and interesting storyline about the breakdown of society during a lockdown. It deals with serious topics like competition over food rationing, police brutality, personal responsibility, a comparison of the internet to the mythical tower of babel, and the fear/stress people are going though as the week continues, but in general has a relatively hopeful tone.

That game was made before 2020, by the way. Which I feel is incredibly important. As that game is probably going to read a lot different now then it did back then. Which is why I wanted to be very specific about that one's plot.

3DS Games Anon - here's another recommendation for you from another anon re: Shin Megami Tensei!
