kosmo because that’s what the subtitles had it as and because canonically, keith, upon having his dog unwillingly named for him and having to witness weeks of comms where everyone spelled it with a C and being in possession of numerous monogrammed dog items given to him by the team would absolutely leap at this one chance to fuck everyone over.
Heyyyyy how do you feel about the whole lea/Kira thing? Idk if you’ve answered another ask about this but I wanted to know your opinion. Personally, I think it’s really offending what they’re doing right now (like,,,,, they made the galra mus/lim,,,,, a religious group that has currently been under a lot of attack,,,,,,,, is the species that has mostly (with exceptions) been portrayed as the bad guys,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,)
I’ve been avoiding talking about this for lots of reasons, mainly how much it bothers me and I’ve been trying to keep my blog more safe and chill lately. I don’t know everything that going on with this thing because I’ve been trying to very much avoid it, but every time I hear about it, it’s somehow more offensive and racist than the last. This post makes all these points better than I ever could, but it’s just…I can’t believe no one looked at it was like,, “hmm, even though we’re claiming to be progressive, isn’t this a perhaps a terrible thing to do??”
hello i am here today to not lose track of the art cheats i have discovered over the years. what i call art cheat is actually a cool filter/coloring style/way to shade/etc. that singlehandedly makes art like 20 times better
This is the second-to-last zine-related post. Every zine is at its home now, and with nothing else incoming, we figured we could ramble a little about things we learned. Because we can!

Back in late September 2017, Mod D made a throwaway comment about how cool it would be if Matt, her favourite character, had a whole zine of his own. Mod E (whose fave is also Matt) saw that comment and, said this:
And then…
…We’ve come a long way since our initial conception.
Hey so … do people actually know the difference between queerbaiting and queercoding? The past few days, it seems like people have fundamentally misunderstood these two terms, thus leading to quite a bit of distress and aggressive behaviour.
Queerbaiting is when a piece of media strings along viewers by injecting gay subtext without actually intending to ever go through with it. The characters are not queer in the eyes of their creators. Queercoding is when the text introduces gay subtext fulling intending for the audience to read it as such, but are restricted by what they may or may not show, thus making an explicit representation impossible. These characters are queer. Thus, the two are not the same thing.
While it is completely inappropriate to treat anyone the way I’ve seen particular EPs treated in the past few days, it is doubly unfair to treat the producers of a queercoded text as if they’re queerbaiting, because it’s likely that they’ve fought very hard to get whatever gay subtext into said media in the first place. With queercoding, explicit representation is something out of their control, so how does it then follow that they get harassed for something they’ve fought for, that they want explicitly in their media too, just because it wasn’t completely explicit?
Sincerely, a queer woman who also wants representation but has realistic expectations.
