thumbcramps: hi guys! this is a comic i made for a final in my comics in literature class. we had to do a research paper on a topic we’d discussed in class and then accompany it with a comic with a relevant subject. my paper was about hyper-sexualization of women in comic books, but i decided to broaden it out here as well as personalize it and make myself the subject and discuss something i’ve been subjected to in the convention circuit and on the internet as well as thousands of other women, as well as give a cue to thought about how the comic book industry as well as the video game industry and even just media in general (all of which are male dominated) push such ridiculous pressures onto girls and women. also, it feels kind of silly to have to add this since i hope it’s obvious, but i am very aware that there are men that don’t subscribe to this attitude, and am incredibly grateful that these issues are brought to light to people other than the ones that are subjected to it.  anyway haha i have literally been staring at this for 9 hours i don’t even know which direction is up anymore. thanks for reading!!! This is very lovely and so completely accurate. <3

It’s not even that Emma finally said “Mom” and “Dad”, but how she said it. Like  she would have when she was little and woke up from a nightmare, so scared and clinging to her blanket, only to slowly realize nobody would answer her call. But there is somebody there now, they’re there, and they’re her parents and they love her. So in the face of death Emma can finally be that little girl again, and be held like she always dreamed, even if it’s only once before the end.

I had the same reaction! O_O *sniffles*

misandry-mermaid: boobs-birds-botany: My, isn’t it awkward that you just fuckin recycled a nearly 40 year old article to shit on this latest generation? Recession. Student debt. Etc. Lots of people smarter than me have already had some excellent commentary on this (here and here and  here not to mention all the great Tumblr commentary). But I do want to say: Of all the images you could have picked, you chose one of a teenage girl taking a selfie. Because of course, girls who have been taught nothing else by their elders except that their appearance is what matters are the reason we are all lazy and narcissistic. Fuck off. You fucking made us. You raised me and my sister and my female cousin and millions and millions of girls to be self-conscious and obsessed with making ourselves look pleasing to men. You taught us that that was our only worth. And now you shit on us for it. FUCK OFF, TIME. ^^^^^ ^ And this is what misogyny looks like. ^ *HIGH FIVE* Agree with everything you said there. :)

chosenlily:

What if the person Tamara and Greg are working for is the Blue Fairy?

I mean, really. The woman comes up with the cure for memories IN THE NICK OF TIME? SERIOUSLY?

Another example of poor storytelling. :-\ I say this because that cure seemed awfully…

“A lot of what happens on OUAT is plot points linked by “and then” but tight storytelling is linked by “therefore” or “but.”


Oh gods EXACTLY! It not only is repetitive, but so self righteous…..
