Not only this but also the fact that while we celebrate the representation made by this big monopoly corporations, the work made by the people they are supposed to represent still flops.
to be honest i feel like discussions about Representation need to come second to discussions about dissolving corporate media monopolies. i don’t care how diverse the characters in a show are if the system in place still demands that art has to be palatable for the masses and filtered thru a corporate assembly line just to exist. its crazy. its craaazy how far people will go to defend the honor of corporate media. i guarantee whatever Creatives are responsible for the representation in your favorite piece of corporate media could have made something better, realer, and more valuable if they didn’t have to sanitize their shit for the mass market. i guarantee there are a million people out there who would make stuff you would love but the fact that media is treated as a product and not an art form means theyll never get a chance to do anything at all.

I know it’s a bit late for both chapter 90 and Kyu’s birthday, but here’s a project nonetheless! It picks up after chapter 89, so manga spoilers if you haven’t gotten that far.
Happy birthday to Kyu, and infinite thanks to @kgin-art and @iami12 for doing the art!
ive seen people say that will was insensitive and too demanding when it came to nico not sharing enough with him, which strikes me as an odd complaint, because he had multiple moments throughout the book of reassuring nico that he doesn’t have to talk about painful topics, and nico appreciating that but insisting he’s ready to share:
There was the one moment where will snapped at nico by saying “(i don’t know what you’ve been through) because you won’t tell me!” but this came up because nico was expecting will to be sensitive about things he didn’t know of, which is a point of growth for nico in the book.
will never pressures or guilts nico into sharing more than he wants to! but at the same time, he can only be sensitive and responsive to nico’s trauma if nico talks to him about it. nico learns to adjust his expectations of will AND he gets to a point of being more confident and comfortable opening up to him. it’s a nice arc for their relationship development that’s worth appreciating

I actually really liked TSATS preview. 🤷♀️
Idk if its because of Mark, but I really feel like a lot of the criticisms Rick got for how he handles trauma were listened to, and I really think Nico is going to be a great protagonist.
