That’s basically a naked woman I’m YELLING
What a pervert. What the FUCK does he not know how clothes work? What the hypothetical fuck is she wearing then if we can see all that?
It’s like how bath towels in comics miraculously wrap completely around breasts. Or how even when injured and dead on the ground women in comics have to be twisted into “sexy” poses. Or how women in comics walk like they’re in high heels even barefoot.
It’s the only way men know how to draw women, because to them female characters are only there to be sexy. They only think of “women” as exploitative costumes and camera angles, high heels and titillation. Sex objects to ogle, plot objects to further male heroes’ narratives and drama, not heroes to cheer for.
I’m sorry, I was labouring under the impression that this was the crowd that thought women should wear what they want..?
And that applies to fictional women who are depicted by men how? You can’t apply agency in the plot to something metatextual when it comes to fictional characters.
Come on, let’s not pretend this is a male exclusive thing.
We’re going to have this argument are we? Not to mention you’re deviating from the original point that attributing agency to fictional characters’ clothing is asinine.
What you have here are images of power, and do you really believe these characters are designed with titillating heterosexual women and bisexual and homosexual men in mind? Because I don’t think you do.
This is why the Hawkeye Initiative exists. Take common female poses in comics, put a man in the role, and see how “empowering” and “strong” it actually looks:
Also:
He got the painting for fighting against ‘censorship.’ Note that they handed him a gross design of a female being objectified, because at the end of the day, that is all they really want, to be allowed to objectify women. They don’t care about censorship in general it is about their ability to sexualise and degrade women without consequence.
You can see her butthole for chrissakes
I think the best imagery I’ve seen to explain the difference between what men think male objectification is vs what women actually want to see is the Hugh Jackman magazine covers.
Hugh Jackman on a men’s magazine. He’s shirtless and buff and angry. He’s imposing and aggressive. This is a male power fantasy, it’s what men want to be and aspire to - intense masculinity.
Hugh Jackman on a women’s magazine. He looks like a dad. He looks like he’s going to bake me a quiche and sit and watch Game of Thrones with me. He looks like he gives really good hugs.
Men think women want big hulking naked men in loin cloths which is why they always quote He-Man as male objectification - without realizing that He Man is naked and buff in a loin cloth because MEN WANT HIM TO BE. More women would be happy to see him in a pink apron cutting vegetables and singing off-key to 70s rock.
Men want objects. Women want PEOPLE.
This is the first time I have EVER seen this false equivalence articulated so well. Thank you.
bro you can literally see every fold of her pussy that just isn’t how fabric works
For non sexualized female characters, may I recommend Gerard Way’s works. The Umbrella Academy and the Killjoy comics are the two that come to mind

Cressie AU Comic Masterpost
Since people seem to get confused with the chronological order of the comics in the Cressie AU, I decided to make a masterpost featuring all of the comics in order.
Disclaimer: The comics listed below do not include paneyneygirl’s, dasketcherz’s, or nomidot’s contributions to the AU.
Current Show Timeline ~ Star and Marco, along with the rest of the cast, are approximately the same age as they are in the show.
The Sudden Death of Moon Butterfly - Moon gets killed by the “The Darkest Spell” given to her by Eclipsa, making Star the new Queen of Mewni.
The Immediate Aftermath - Star mourns the death of her mother.
Intermediate Timeline ~ Star and Marco are young adults. This ranges from their early 20′s to their late 20′s. Pre-Cressida to her birth.
Twisted Warnicorn Horn ~ Star finally decides to propose to her longtime boyfriend to be her future king and husband.
Dearly Beloved - Star and Marco are now bonded in matrimonial union.
Happy Birthday, Moon - River visits Moon in the Constellation, the graveyard of the former Queens of Mewni.
Double Checked - Marco receives unbelievable news from his wife.
Cravings - Carrying a hybrid baby requires sustenance.
Kicking - Unborn Cressie’s quite a kicker.
Little Cressida - Mewni welcomes its first hybrid heir to the Butterfly throne.
Moon’s Eyes - River sees a resemblance between his newborn granddaughter and his late wife.
Current Future Timeline ~ Star and Marco are now parents starting from their early 30′s. Cressida is now born, with some scenarios in her childhood to her current age.
Burrito - Star sings her favorite lullaby to her infant daughter.
First Steps - New parents Star and Marco try to get their daughter to walk.
Reminder - Cressie inherits a rather standout feature from her late grandmother.
Too Eager - Cressie asks her father where babies come from.
Prodigy - Marco gets his revenge on Tom.
Mewberty (Prologue) - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Gifts - Marco receives a present from his absent wife.
Lovey Dovey - Cressie has a very affectionate family.
Caught - Cressie walks in on her parents being intimate.
Hair Down - Star lets her hair down for a change.
Dr. Marco Butterfly, PhD - Cressie asks what PhD stands for.
Hopelessly In Love - Cressie’s parents are the most in-love couple ever, and she doesn’t complain.
Lucky Star - Marco is off-limits.
Cautious - Even the King of Mewni doesn’t take chances when his daughter plays a small match of table tennis with the King of the Underworld.
Princess Turdina - Cressie finds out a rather dark secret of her father’s.
Song Day Trauma - Star and Marco hears a song that brings back bad memories.
Grandma - Cressie meets her late grandmother firsthand.
Miscellaneous ~ Comics that are too abstract to fit in any timeline or something that could’ve taken in any timeline, or comics that feature Cressida but are not canon in the AU.
Birds - Eclipsa finds company in the most unconventional kind. (Can be in any timeline)
The Matchmaker AU - Cressie helps her interdimensional sisters pair their parents up together. (Non-canon)
Royal Squire - Marco accepts Star’s offer of being her squire. (Abstract)
Familiar - Stars feels like Cressie reminds her of someone. (Non-canon)
This’ll be updated the more art I upload. Do tell me if I forgot a particular strip.
More of the Hellboy AU because, naturally, I watched Hellboy 2 today. This time featuring Tobes (because even in an AU you can’t split up the brOTP) and bby troll!Jim.
With Jim probably having to live in Trollmarket, I doubt he’d be able to have Hellboy’s gaggle of cats. But based on book canon, all of Nana D’s cats liked to gravitate toward trolls (even book!Aaarrrgghh, even though she’d eat them. But Jim wouldn’t eat Nana’s cats; friends don’t eat friends cats) so he’d probably get along really well with all of the Domzalski cats.
BONUS: because how could I not draw this scene from the first HB movie

Please remember that the very first Pitch Black comic is CANON TO THE MOVIE ‘VERSE. Some have forgotten or don’t know, and it gets tedious to be told “uh this isn’t canon lol”.
Yes. That particular comic is canon. The artists working on the film made several comics they promoted on the Dreamworks blog.
(I know there’s one for Jack Frost and one for Sandy as well, but I can’t find the links rn)
Additional fun fact: Domestic cats have slit pupils, large cats have round pupils. What about in-between cats like the lynx? They’re an intermediate - ovals!
Sometimes cats can’t be explained.
He’s lying on his prey to capture it while it’s dazed (cats do this while playing with mice!). His lashing tail shows he is still very excited. Then, when he moves, it also moves a bit and his sensitive belly hairs detect this. Prey is awake! Play again!
And sometimes, cats can be explained
how do cats even work
Cats:
- A cat can jump up to five times its own height in a single bound.
- The little tufts of hair in a cat’s ear that help keep out dirt direct sounds into the ear, and insulate the ears are called “ear furnishings.”
- The ability of a cat to find its way home is called “psi-traveling.” Experts think cats either use the angle of the sunlight to find their way or that cats have magnetized cells in their brains that act as compasses.
- One reason that kittens sleep so much is because a growth hormone is released only during sleep.
- A cat has 230 bones in its body. A human has 206. A cat has no collarbone, so it can fit through any opening the size of its head.
- A cat’s nose pad is ridged with a unique pattern, just like the fingerprint of a human.
- If they have ample water, cats can tolerate temperatures up to 133 °F.
- A cat’s heart beats nearly twice as fast as a human heart, at 110 to 140 beats a minute.
- Cats don’t have sweat glands over their bodies like humans do. Instead, they sweat only through their paws.
- The claws on the cat’s back paws aren’t as sharp as the claws on the front paws because the claws in the back don’t retract and, consequently, become worn.
- Cats make about 100 different sounds. Dogs make only about 10.
- Researchers are unsure exactly how a cat purrs. Most veterinarians believe that a cat purrs by vibrating vocal folds deep in the throat. To do this, a muscle in the larynx opens and closes the air passage about 25 times per second.
- A cat almost never meows at another cat, mostly just humans. Cats typically will spit, purr, and hiss at other cats.
- A cat’s back is extremely flexible because it has up to 53 loosely fitting vertebrae. Humans only have 34.
- Some cats have survived falls of over 65 feet (20 meters), due largely to their “righting reflex.” The eyes and balance organs in the inner ear tell it where it is in space so the cat can land on its feet. Even cats without a tail have this ability.
- A cat can travel at a top speed of approximately 31 mph (49 km) over a short distance.
- A cat’s hearing is better than a dog’s. And a cat can hear high-frequency sounds up to two octaves higher than a human.
- A cat’s brain is biologically more similar to a human brain than it is to a dog’s. Both humans and cats have identical regions in their brains that are responsible for emotions.
And that’s how cats work.
I learned more about cats in this post than I did in my freshamn biology class in college
Have some cat biology facts.
Three cats died after their owners used an anti-inflammatory cream used to treat arthritis. The Food and Drug Administration warns to keep drugs away from pets; a tiny bit can be toxic.
Important for spoonies with cats!
Creams with Flurbiprofen are fatal to cats.
Brands that use this chemical (Not a complete list):
Myoflex
Traumeel
Capzasin
If you have cats, check your pain relieving cream for this, and keep them from ingesting it, please!
Oh no! Boosting for all cat owners.
The above ointments DO NOT contain NSAIDs. Myoflex contains an aspirin derivative, Traumeel contains arnica and other herbs, and capsaicin ointments are just that. I still don’t recommend you apply these to areas on your body where cats can lick them, but you don’t need to throw away your OTC topicals. Just wash your hands thoroughly after use.
NSAID ointments you actually need to watch out for:
- Flurbiprofen
- Diclofenac
- Ketoprofen
- Ibuprofen
And other ointments that can cause harm to animals:
- Combination NSAID/steroid creams
- Estrogen or testosterone creams
- Vitamin D cream
