I really admire those submas artists that are able to draw Ingo and Emmet clearly expressing different emotions while still keeping their signature frown/smile. Bonus points to the ones who even keep their half lidded eyes! I don't know how you guys do it <XDD

I tried experimenting with the boys expressions and tried to keep their smile/frown.. but man, its tough for me. I mean, the mouth is literally and figuratively half the expression! XD I guess their expressiveness will come mostly from their eyes..? Oh well, I just gotta experiment a little more I guess XDD

Also the last expression for Ingo's page was going to be him laughing. But I couldn't make him laugh + frown without looking like a complete maniac 🤣🤣 So I kind'a turned it into a cute headcannon. The only time Ingo gets a big genuine smile plastered on his face is when he laughs. And wouldn't you know it, Emmet laughs with the same smile. :}

I’m watching that documentary “Before Stonewall” about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one “known homosexual”. The “known homosexual” is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.

So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there’s nothing wrong with him mentally and he’s never been arrested. When asked whether he’d take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he’s gay, he says that they didn’t up until tonight, but he guesses they’re going to find out, and he’ll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like …why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says “I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself.”

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale’s boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary.

Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson’s disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

It appears that no one has made the connection between Dale Olson the publicity agent instrumental in the AIDS debate and Dale Olson the 22-year-old first openly gay man on TV. So I thought I’d make it. For Pride month, an unsung gay hero.

Eat the bread Law.
