My second Strip Search elimination comic! If you haven’t watched the episode go do that, apparently it is the most hilarious thing. I also found it quite amusing, even having lived it myself.
Do you want a print of this? OF COURSE YOU DO BUY IT HERE!
Story time: When I drew “cars” using my redraw ticket, I thought I’d dug my own grave. Tavis and I had just been talking about how shitty it is to draw cars, then voila, we are forced to draw CARS. At least it wasn’t “theatre”, or you guys would have seen a “Cats: The Musical” themed comic from me and that might have been even weirder.
#Check out her hairstyle please #they aren’t in ‘The Doctor Dances’ #this is one of those moments the crew always spoke of #how since the beginning if they were between takes#Chris would grab Billie and slow dance with her #I mean Rose only had that hair style in ‘The Long Game’ #:D :D :D :D :D (via vannadear)

"
We [Fraction and his wife, Kelly Sue DeConnick] were pregnant at the time, and while I was out there I started to realize that if I had a daughter, there would come a day when I would have to apologize to her for my profession. I would have to apologize for the way it treats and speaks to women readers, and the way it treats its female characters.
I knew that if we had a daughter, because I know my wife and I know the kind of girl she wants to raise and I know the kind of girl I want to raise, she was going to look at what I did for a living and want to know how the fuck I could stomach it. How could I sell her out like that?” Fraction continued. “That conversation is still coming, and I’m bracing for it in the way that some dads brace for their daughter’s first date or boyfriend. I became acutely aware that I had sort of done that thing that lots of privileged hetero cisgendered white dudes do. ‘I’m cool with women, and that’s enough.’ It’s not enough. It’s embarrassing to say, because we somehow have attached shame to learning and evolving our opinions, culturally, but I became aware that there was a deficiency of and to women in my work, and all I could do at that moment was take care of my side of the street.

We came from the sea. The dreadnoughts took Par Vollen at a stroke. We marched on the land called Seheron, then Rivain and the Tevinter Imperium. Our viddathari told us the Tevinter capital of Minrathous was unassailable; though it did not fall, its walls were cracked with steel and baqoun fire. Tevinter saw what discipline achieves.

Principles of Problematic Character Design, the Second
Shrodinger’s Breasts
The tendency of costume designers (esp. of the video game variety) to sacrifice sense & logic in order to show some part of the female breast.
After all, if we cannot see them, are they really there?
——-
We already knew this one, but it’s not a list of problematic character design elements without it!
I’m naming my punk band Shrodinger’s Breasts.
