I Am Not Your Asian American Doll: a comic for AAPI Heritage Month 2023
I usually spend a lot of time editing and fine-tuning my comics so that they come across as polite and inoffensive. But honestly, I’m really tired of the way Asian cultures and countries are treated / talked about while Asian people themselves are excluded, and thought it was about time I really let my rage out lol.

HEHEHHEHEE @cardinaldust had a GREAT idea in gay taco bell so i had to draw it so here 🤲
penny lamb. she.
everyone lives/no one dies au (+ karnak maybe but he would appear later) that i've been working on who wants it
i've talked ab this au in an earlier post but yeah ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ basically everyone lives but penny doesn't know she's penny so she's just jane doe instead... it's going to be very self-indulgent but it kinda grabbed me by the brain and mixed some stuff up so i MIGHT add this one thing in but i'm not sure if i'll add it here or make a separate fic for it 🧍
the ships would be nischa blackrose and spacedolls BUT it would be a slow build up (i hope)
not going to be nischalia unfortunately but talia and mischa stay friends bc... talia is real to me :(
very found family ! bc they are the found family ever
even if no one interacts with this/wants it i'm going to post it bc it's for funsies :) just wanted to talk about it though
THERE IS NO CONTENT FOR THE GOING WILD SERIES BY LISA MCMANN i’m going feral adkslfjaklegksjfdkj it’s not the best but it’s def worth checking out and i desperately crave content for it omfg aNYWAYS HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS ON THE SIXTH GRADERS <33333 (spoiler warning btw) also i haven’t read the third book yet so if anything happens there it isn’t part of this
maria def grew up too fast you can’t look at me and tell me she had her dna altered so she would turn into a weremonkey every time she got any form of upset and proceed to say she turned out fine it’s legally impossible. she had to learn to calm down immediately so that she wouldn’t freak anyone out and she’s only TWELVE sobs
kelly deserves a redemption arc so bad she’s insufferable and her parents divorcing/neglecting her isn’t an excuse for that but she has her reasons. she tried helping them in predator vs prey and accidentally hurt andy, and charlie def shouldn’t’ve yelled at her ¬¬ can’t believe she went to join them like ummm what. she is so rude and a liar and yeah she’s got issues, but i feel for her tbh, she deserves sm more
MAC IS SO COOL he’s good with mechanics and i love that mcmann decided to NOT make him romantically involved with maria or charlie it’s v cool :D it’s hard when ur bsf suddenly starts hanging out with someone like bro i can totally relate. also omg he’s so smart like wow that’s cool :OO and the movie tradition maria and him have is so cool like DAMMNN tradition right there
CHARLIE is so cool and even though i sometimes find myself disliking her, she’s actually a decent character :)) i don’t like how temperamental she can get, but i’m rly not any better and she’s still only twelve, so it’s ok 👍 well not OKAY but it’s good for now. the whole “i hate you” towards kelly was a bit much but she DID just hurt her brother and lie ab the whole bracelet thing putting her dad in danger so there’s that.
I LOVE THAT KELLY CHARLIE AND MARIA ARE SOCCER GIRLS LIKE DAMN OK I SEE YOUUUU 👀 AND MAC WATCHING PRACTICES/GAMES BC MARIA (and charlie when he meets her) ARE HIS FRIENDS UGGGHHH
mrs dr wilde and mr dr wilde are super cool and it’s clear that they love their kids like DAMN ILY even though you have busier schedules you make time for ur kids and that’s admirable
ANDY i have thoughts ab him he’s TEN and he had to deal with some of this as well like :wow: he’s just a KID OMGOMGMOG and then he’s pretty funny sometimes, very sibling very cool, not super annoying though soo
they are so young practically babies damn
resurrection stone 
anyways I thought it was kinda dumb that they were so chill with Harry going to get himself killed so here’s my theory that the stone just wants u to off urself ://
i finally semi-figured out how i like to draw lucy :D 2 down 1 to go
LOCKWOOD ISTFG YOU ARE GIVING ME SOOOO MUCH GRIEF I CAN’T-
BEFORE THE DAY CHANGES IN MY TIMEZONE RTC SHIP WEEK DAY ONE FAVORITE SHIP: NISCHA!!!!! my boys
ignore the weird looking bits i’m rushing (and testing out a simpler doodle style)
here’s the 6-pg comic i drew for DUET last year!! (reads left->right)
how toph picks clothes
.
i have a fun headcanon that the gaang describes colours of clothes to toph (not that she cares much to begin with lol, only if she asks) as expiriences!
(ID Description: Four Panel comic
Panel 1: The comic is in greyscale. Toph and Katara, from Avatar: The Last Airbender, are walking in a market. Katara has her hair down, wearing her mother’s necklace, and Toph is wearing a sleeveless vest because shes cool like that. Toph is trudging along unhappily, when Katara pulls on her arm and exclaims “Ohh! You should try this on, it’s beautiful!”. We can’t see what Katara is referring to, but she is pointing to an item off screen.
Panel 2: They stand next to a clothing rack at one of the market’s pop-up stalls. Katara and Toph are touching one of the dresses hung up. The dress is bunched up into clothing folds like a curtain, so not a lot of detail can be seen. Katara looks happily convinced at her good spotting, but Toph is unsure, saying: “I dunno. Fabric’s nice, what’s the colour?”.
Panel 3: They are still standing at the rack. Katara is looking at Toph, one finger raised matter-of-factly, and says “You remember that time Iroh made us apple tea on the beach?”. Katara is smiling at Toph as she says this, and Toph gives a small “oh yeah!” of understanding.
Panel 4: The market background has faded out, and become an artificial grid wallpaper. Toph and Katara and walking, with Katara looking down at Toph happily, shopping bags in the crook of her elbows. We can see Katara is wearing pants (yes girl). Toph is to her right, bare feet planted firmly in the ground and knees bent slightly, looking like she’s about to jump. Toph’s hands are raised in celebratory fists above her head, and yellow exclamation beams surround her ecstatic expression. Toph is wearing the new dress which, unlike the greyscale comic, is a dynamic mixture of warm red, orange, brown and green. There are sparkles covering the dress, which goes down to her ankles. She looks extremely happy, in a dress the colour of a perfect afternoon.
