Erin Ptah 💕さんのイラストまとめ

I'll draw non-canon cast portraits with the flag colors, but in-universe, their identities don't need defending. Nobody could imagine attacking them.

Both kinds of stories are important. There are readers who need both of them -- sometimes at the same time.

Leif & Thorn, meanwhile, is almost full-on idealized fantasy.

Relationships in all gender configurations are unremarkable! Dysphoria is a medical condition like any other, to be covered by insurance while respecting your pronouns! Gender roles in general barely exist!

Self-discovery isn't a big theme here, so I'll skip to A6/7.

But I'm A Cat Person has real-world levels of homophobia+transphobia. It's a constant background stress to the magical conflicts. They cope by finding & supporting each other! #relatable

Leif & Thorn takes place in a fantasy world with imaginary cultures! So why would their ideas about gender/sexuality work in the same way?

...Most of them are queer and/or trans by modern USian standards. It's just, in-universe, they don't draw the same lines between categories.

A2 I came out to the internet during my very first webcomic, heh. (https://t.co/tzU1tHxDEq to peruse that early 2000's energy)

And they've all stretched my artistic muscles, gotten me to research new things, and connected me (or kept me in touch with!) cool people.

A1 Main goal: to tell the stories I want to tell, in a fulfilling way. So, indulging in tropes I love...and, uh, subverting tropes that make me mad.

Secondary, long-term goal: financial self-sufficiency. (This set of art is all Patreon rewards! https://t.co/uWTWHr2Dru)

Taking a break from shading tomorrow's page for #webcomicpridechat!
