how would val react to her parents divorcing?
if TCDF were a 90s/2000s cartoon i 100% know the network wouldve pushed for val/flynn and kitty/gibbs but then like 30 years later concept art of val/kitty and flynn/gibbs would get leaked and people would go wild
is flynn still a mutant? if he is then does he have any powers
Opinion on metalocalypse?
what are all of the characters zodiac signs
is it ok to use your art as a pfp? frank kinda looks like me which i love, but it's fine if we cannot :3 just curious
happy birthday to kitty!!!! :D
frank hating himself so hrd makes me sad but relatable... bro keeps himself in the kitchen :(
what is haruka and flynns relationship like ?
it's supposed to say gibson instead of flynn on haruka's reference, that was a mistake on our part ( we were both very tired )! her and gibs have a completely superficial relationship, they're together to look cool in front of their peers - they don't get along and don't have a lot in common. gibs is also obviously in-denial about being gay and thinks that having a chick around your arm is all there is to life. flynn on the other hand has never held hands with someone before, he's too much of an antisocial outcast for that
This is a weird question, but is Gib (goober).. like.. a super hero? I see him hang out with Val, Flynn, and Kitty, whom are (I am assuming) super-hero’s and Villains or sidekicks in training, so what’s his deal???
does the big guy beat Frank or something why is he always injured around him
how would gib and flynns relationship be like. once they realized that they liked each other. would it be toxic or would it somehow be healthy
your story has a pretty fun, jokish tone- but im very worried about Frank. does this world have queerphobia in any capacity? did he find struggle in being accepted as a man? all trans men deserve respect regardless of what terms they prefer to use and their presentation- in one of your comic he was being she/her'd ceaselessly by a gaggle of women, was this before he came out or was the lore changed so that he came out before his marriage? sorry for the loaded question, im just curious and also trans stories mean a lot to me, so if his trans journey has any details i'd love to hear them :) thank you!
yes, the world they inhabit still has transphobia, and the theme of experiencing bigotry is very integral to the story, and to the character of frank especially! i usually want to leave things up to interpretation, but frank was explicitly created with the intention of reflecting some of my struggles, insecurities, and my complex relationship with my own identity.
Frank is not open about his true self, he is still closeted to most of the world – he imposes this situation onto himself out of his own self-hatred. he holds himself to impossible standards, and has a very twisted view on what it means to be a ‘normal woman’. the misgendering he faces in the story is usually unintentional, as he lives a ‘double life’. Francesca to society at-large, Francisco to those ‘who get it’. he trusts Salvador, his kids, people who he deems to be understanding. yes, his identity should be respected no matter what, and in frank’s ideal world, he would be seen as who he truly is, no questions asked
thank you as well for the question! I hope what I laid out makes sense. The story tackles some rougher topics, but I don’t want to be relentlessly cruel either. Frank comes out to Salvador shortly after they meet in college, and he legally changes his name to Francesca. I imagine the name Francesca being a compromise: he doesn’t have to deal with his birth name anymore, and he’s closer to the actual name he desires, while still not outing himself directly. ( also this doesn’t necessarily relate to the question, his family name was legally changed as well. He used to be Ordóñez )
