Ubisoft Is Taking Control Of The Matrix

Ubisoft is taking control of the matrix 

Forgot how to cat?

Falando nisso, você acha que existe heterofobia ou racismo reverso?

Acho que existe “Gente querendo um problema pra chamar de seu”

It is excruciatingly hard to create when you are under this constant duress.

 Now is a great time to remind the Black artists and authors in our lives how vital and brilliant they are through direct support.  Buy some books, buy some art, fall in love with them, promote and hype it, now and forever. 

Some suggestions, mostly indie but a few mainstream because we all have different tastes, very heavily in comics and pop culture because that’s where I am:

Children’s books: https://believeinwonder.weebly.com/ Brian W. Parker is the best children’s book illustrator you haven’t heard of yet (unless you have heard of him then you already know) https://notsosuper.pub/collections/all https://gumroad.com/backthatelfup (Tristan J Tarwater’s Hen and Chick is the middle grade mother-daughter pirate adventure you need) https://sasquatchbooks.com/little-bigfoot/books/curious-encounters/ (I’m honored to have met Jessixa Bagley before she was famous-well, as famous-and she has a new book out and you should buy all of them and die from the cuteness and poignancy!) https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/624860/brown-sugar-babe-by-charlotte-watson-sherman-illustrated-by-akem/ https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/567578/julian-is-a-mermaid-by-jessica-love/ https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/585658/hair-love-by-matthew-a-cherry-illustrated-by-vashti-harrison/ Leo Dillon has left us but the work he and Diane Dillon created made me the artist I am today and all fantastical illustrators owe him a debt. https://www.harpercollins.com/9780064430975/honey-i-love-and-other-love-poems/

Comics: https://notsosuper.pub/collections/all (Jacques Nyemb does everything so he has to be everywhere <3 ) https://powerandmagicpress.com/ (Joamette Gil helms this publisher that makes intensely beautiful and important work) https://weirdenoughcomics.com/ (great kids’ comics and education resource!) https://gumroad.com/backthatelfup (I love Shamsee and also Tristan writes RPGS!) https://onipress.com/products/archival-quality (library ghost!!!) https://www.princesslovepon.com/  (magical girl perfection by Shauna J Grant) https://agentsoftherealm.com/ (college-age magical girls by Mildred Louis) https://www.powells.com/book/-9781683830047 (M F K by Nilah Macgruder, stunning) https://us.macmillan.com/series/checkplease/ (Ngozi Ukazu’s cute, snappy, feel-good gay hockey comic!) https://www.patreon.com/dakkycomics www.facebook.com/dakkycomics (a local who I was lucky to meet in person at a con last year–Dakky’s comics are so good, and taking inspiration from fonts is just wildly cool)

Artists: https://ko-fi.com/nike_a_go_go/gallery (Nike’s work is fantastic and all over my office, buy them a coffee or ten) https://kianamaiart.tumblr.com/ (amazing artist at Disney TV animation who offers resources and insight and really, really funny nerdy comics) https://shop.dominicglover.com/?fbclid=IwAR0kfjZVbe5uecz4k-gAhPH9iHxlCo4ayL48zEGHsScp1A6rUd26E6S7a9Q (one of the slickest, most pro comics people I know, if you crave superheroes you might wanna go shop) http://labillustration.etsy.com (RAT PINS, incredible work!) https://polkadotcuteshop.com/?fbclid=IwAR1xG2MpDlwpONx099JlFjVeitu47sbjcLSvqLL13MrK5p4dx5s9uqEyh7o (so cute you might die) https://cpunltd.com/?fbclid=IwAR1hLtPcdO0D29FTNFbnx0x3lFl6Ckt4cjIrjTiUTZ9keT6Y5v2Uh4RxWaI (cool laser etching and the creator runs a helpful facebook group!) https://www.etsy.com/shop/PlusHiiKawaii?fbclid=IwAR1SZraWs16QykadRDftqcnCjfNzC7AMojXSrXV1GTO3IoslsuhuGYVBv64 (if you are missing conventions and want to look cute, there is a great place to start!)

And we can just make this list longer and longer!

Firts Post is a Rage! Great Start

Okaay, so I almost always keep my opinions to myself, but this recent episode of My Candy Love really made me uncorfortable. Not only with the content of the game, but also with the Fandom. So I will put it in topics: 

1st - AMBRE: This girl did nothing wrong! Stop putting women against women, STOP! She is single and free. She may have done some shit things, but she is a teenager and in this episode she did NOTHING WRONG!!!!

2nd - ARMIN: He was the WRONG ONE! I admit I didn’t see it at first, but after seeing @suziesamico talking about the scene and reading the whole thing again (but now paying attention to it) I can see that he took advantage of her feeling lonely, and at the start of the dialog it’s pretty clear that she wasn’t into him. 

3rd - CANDY RELATIONSHIP: I fell like this is going too fast. We barely even know our boyfriend! They don’t actually have any dates, talk about thenselves, about their families and likes. THEY DONT HAVE CONVERSATIONS. But everyone thinks is fine that they go do the do now? Please fandom, thats not a healthy relationship. They just makeout.... it’s kinda sad... they were better before dating, at least they would do something else =/

4th - PEGGY: I was starting to like her. But girl. What you did was SOOO BAD! Why be so shitty on the last day? Why put you friend felling more down then she already was? It just make me think that you would be that kind of horrible journalist that doesn’t care about ethics or the truth. 

Just so I don’t just complain abou the game I will also list what I liked: 

The clothes are beautiful. Loved seeing girls not wearing dresses and still rocking it! Kim <3 Prya <3 

Also loved seeing all of them togheter and being friends, just wished we had more of Violet in this episode as well. 

Iris mom and Patrick, I want to see more of it. i think they would make a great artistic couple. <3 

Also the way Candy’s parents reacted to her boyfriend was better than I expected, I was mature and I liked it. 

PS: Sorry about any spelling mistakes, english is not my first language, but I decided to write in it to reach more people. 

I’m from Brazil! FALA GALERA!!!!
