my two cents on the janace photoshoot.
I honestly interpret these as the difference between their "stage persona" and them really.
as @me-sploh-rada-imas pointed out in this post, you can divide the six pictures in two groups:
the first group (the pictures of them looking in the camera) could represent their online/stage personas. there is no glass dividing us (the viewer) and them, so it all feels real to us, but it's not real to them. they're not smiling, which I take as some kind of symbolism to express them hiding their true selves, hiding "whatever they have" because they're public people, so they put on a show.
meanwhile, the second batch of pictures (the ones where they're doing eskimo kisses) is them expressing their true selves. it's behind glass, so we can never reach them, ask them "what this is about", because its none of our business.
to me, the glass isn't, like many people though, the infamous "closet made out of glass" (aka them badly hiding a queer relationship, which it could be, but its not my interpretation) but it's a cellphone screen, now please bear with me and let me explain:
Jan and Nace, like the rest of joker out, are first and foremost, yes people, but they're PUBLIC FIGURES. they have I guess to "uphold a figure", even if said figure is very VERY similar to how they are in real life, it's never going to be the exact same. when the guys are on stage, it feels like we can reach them, but they're putting up a show, for how much it's going to be close to reality, it's still a show. meanwhile, when they're truly themselves and they're willing to show it to us, they're out of reach. it's always through stuff like Instagram or interacting in interviews, things we can't (and shouldn't!!) ask them to explain.

Whumper sends Whumpee a set of tapes through the mail as part of a hame. They seem happy enough at first, but they get . . . dark.
What starts off as a butterfly caring tutorial glitches into a long rotted garden.
Two friends shopping turns into a robbery by a third.
Friendly baking escalates into a dangerous house fire.
At the beginning and end of every tape, there's distorted words that are barely understandable.
Whumpee needs to put the words together to win Whumper's game. If they don't? Well, there's always round 2 . . .

Its UPDATING! The first pages are out NOW!
[READ TOKYO MIRACLE HERE! ✨]
This is old promo art I made back in...2022? In the back of my mind I always wanted to retry making tm2 as a webcomic...this was going to be the lil post I made to reblog whenever new pages went up, but I decided not to do that and instead post page previews weekly (over at @tokyomiracle) I can def do better lettering now, but I still think this art is pretty dang cute so I thought I'd share it 😊

Could I perhaps have some dragon therapy, please?
Between already having a sad evening and then a sudden really bad jump of anxiety, I am Having A Time and i would Much rather be sleeping but here i am anyway
Any dragon you'd feel okay showing me would be wonderful to take my mind off of things a lil bit, tho i'd especially love seeing dragons you associate with ppl important to you (let that be bc you got the dragon from them, or they helped you gene it, or anything else, it's all applicable, i'd just love to see/hear about it)
<3
