trivia:

- look how tall she is compared to bryne.

And yes, I believe you can still be Hmong and queer! I hope this story helps many others find validity in that. I hope more Hmong people write more Hmong stories and that we can find happiness and peace within ourselves together.

I think it's safe to say REEDS is a new-generation Hmong story, and resonates with those who grew up with a dual identity crisis, whether Hmong or not! living in the US enabled many to break free from harmful traditions, but also face if you can still belong to your culture.

I went forward just calling this comic an Asian/SEA fantasy as most people wouldn't know what Hmong was anyways, and those who were Hmong would be able to understand when they see it.

Over time, more and more Hmong people (particularly queer Hmongs!) have reached out to me!

so writing a story about gay/trans Hmong men just felt very... not-Hmong. if you're not upholding Hmong values, it's taboo, a break from culture.

this is an identity issue many of us LGBTQ Hmongs face: the conflict of having to pick a side, rejecting being Hmong or being queer.

for the uninitiated, Hmong traditional values are patriarchal, cis-heteronormative, and strict to gender roles. there is a LOT I could cover in that regard, but unlike other groups that only developed such values from colonization, ours was always fully integrated in culture.

as AAPI month comes to a close, I wanted to talk about the reflecting I've been doing this month wrt my webcomic REEDS, a queer fantasy romance, being a Hmong story, and how uniquely difficult it has been to be open about that 🧵

just a random thing from and hc being hmong, you know that poison-sucking scene? this probably wasn't intentional, but there's actually a whole THING in hmong about drinking blood from someone's hand- it's a ritual between lovers to bind their souls together FOREVER

As a Hmong person, seeing Hua Cheng's designs with the large silver necklaces rang some bells in my head. It's the familiar large round/crescent shape that many of us wear. Thinner, circular designs like this are more common with men as women wear larger, more elaborate designs.
