One thing that doing creative work teaches you is that ideas are worth nothing. Anybody can have an idea. In a writers room you have to come up with a hundred ideas a day, and most of those donโ€™t make the page. Itโ€™s the work of making something that gives it value. The patina of humanity.

It's definitely one I think of the most, and I've never really read the series. Its a cover that is both striking in its layout, and also tells a story. If I was the right age when this came out, I would have bought it without question.

A comic with several panels about ADHD and shame. 
First panel, Kiki struggles holding a ton of items, while her peers only hold single sheets of papers. โ€œI Spend so much time trying to fit in, hiding how forgetful and chaotic I am, but also pretending my struggles are like everyone else's."

Second panel, Kikiโ€™s mother is pointing at her. โ€œIโ€™ve faced so much rejection and trouble for thing I didnโ€™t even know were wrong, just for being myself, that it feels like I have to hide who I am.โ€

Third panel, Kiki is taking off a wig, revealing she is an alien โ€œbut what Iโ€™m hiding isnโ€™t that Iโ€™m an alien, what Iโ€™m hiding is all the shame I carry.โ€ Kiki is holding her stomach in pain.

A series of Kikis with text. โ€œShame that I couldnโ€™t fit a shower into my daily tasks. Shame when I canโ€™t let people inside because itโ€™s never clean. Shame when I cry being overwhelmed by paperwork again. Shame when Iโ€™m the only one late again. Shame for every white lie I tell because I canโ€™t take one more rejection despite being so burnt out.โ€ 
Kikiโ€™s face is hidden in shadow as she says โ€œof course I change my bedsheets once a week.โ€

โ€œIโ€™ve used shame as a weapon against myself as a punishment to force myself to learn.โ€ Kiki scolds herself in the mirror.
โ€œHow well has that been working for you? Are you on time now? More organized?โ€
The Kiki in the mirror is revealed to be a child version of herself. โ€œWhy am I never good enough? If I just stopped being like this, people would like me.โ€
Kiki hugs the child version of herself. โ€œYou have been brave long enough. Youโ€™ve been scolded enough, what you - I would have needed was to be seen. Youโ€™re not alone anymore, we will find a way. Together.โ€

Small kiki is pulling the adult Kiki by the hand through their apartment. โ€œDonโ€™t punish emotions,pay attention to them. Missing a shower isnโ€™t failure, itโ€™s a sign, a clue. Ask whatโ€™s missing, not whatโ€™s wrong with you.โ€

Kiki is standing behind her child self, holding her shoulders in support. โ€œItโ€™s not fair that I never got to feel like I am okay the way I am, that no one say how much I struggled and took all the pain away. Look at everything youโ€™ve been through. It makes sense that youโ€™re the way you are. Letโ€™s try our best. Not to get it right for others, but to finally get to know how WE do things.โ€
โ€œAt the very least, I can have my own back.โ€

Shame is one of the hardest things about ADHD for me. I'm back and the book is finished but instead of feeling proud, I feel ashamed for not having managed to stay active, manage my household better or even shower regularly.

Is this Legend of the Stars? Now I'm curious why Tsuburaya and Mill Creek haven't released this one on blu-ray (though they also haven't released the Ultra Q Dark Fantasy TV show. But they have released the original and Neo Ultra Q tv series)

AI is a wonder technology that is going to change every industry, which is why
- people have to be forced to use it
- people have to be tricked into paying for it
- people who do use it on purpose have to hide it from their peers to avoid being mocked

Yeah. Unfortunately. It got slick at some point. I blame Caillou. I don't know for what exactly, but it feels like the thing to do.

Ship of Fools 02 (Image - Dec 1997)

Writer: Bryan J.L. Glass
Artist: Michael Avon Oeming

An early Oeming drawn comic with a pretty cool cover by Alex Horley. I think this is either a reprint or continuation of a Caliber Comics series, but I'm still trying to figure that out.

if you write (or speak) about videogames and you don't just naturally accumulate lots of trans friends and mutuals and readers (or viewers), you're either bad at it, or there's something suspicious going on with you. possibly both

The damage this administration is doing will take DECADES to undo. Its likely that most of us won't see the country, or even some global institutions (climate science, medical research, social sciences), fully recover in our lifetime.

I will be interviewing Ryan Parrott about his amazing indie series Rogue Sun. Let me know what questions you want me to ask him!

05.08.2025 00:32 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 51    ๐Ÿ” 6    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 4    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Are they familiar with the supernatural horror tokusatsu series Garo, and if so was it an influence on Rogue Sun?

Has he ever considered doing a team-up/crossover with Phil Hester & Andy Kuhnโ€™s Firebreather?

What are the unexpected challenges writing a creator owned superhero comic in 2025?

Which... I guess is just Voyager again, only with more prep. Opps.

Maybe something like, a ship that intentionally uses a one-way space anomaly/experimental drive to shoot off to parts unknown within our galaxy, and has to take a longer/slower trip home via conventional FTL/Warp. Exploring and documenting what they find along the way.

I'd always heard that Morrison just suggested the story's final beat (which feels like a Morrison idea). Not that they ghost wrote the whole thing. But the whole rumor seems to be hearsay and speculation, so who knows

Yeah. I dislike Millar comics 99.9% of the time.

Somehow, this is the 0.01%. It manages to avoid almost all of his recurring juvenile edginess.

Without a doubt it would be Ergo Proxy.

This is a series that has kind of fallen out of the conversation & once upon a time we used to make these kinds of anime & now they are just so few and far between.
