That one day kids at preschool thought I was cool haha. Playing make believe as a kid was the best. I think a huge part of why I like storytelling now is because of that. What kind of make believe games did you play as a kid? Or any fellow Sailor Moon bbs out there? :D me and my childhood friend had a whole fantasy universe figured out for our games. Maybe I’ll draw comics about that as well.
You guys have been asking how me and husband met- here’s the beginning of it, haha. I was very determined to focus on my studies and it didn’t go as planned. Being extremely shy - I proceeded to crush on him from afar and then he asked me out on a date.
True story. The first place we ever rented had a super thin wall in the living room and we didn’t realise for a while because the neighbour was apparently away most of the time. Luckily we didn’t live there for very long .
I was (like most kids) a child with wayyyyyyy too much energy which promptly disappeared when I got to my teens. Now as a perpetually tired adult I wish I had a bit of that bounciness back XD
Hi new followers, there are a lot of you, so hello!
a few quick notes:
Maia is pronounced like the name Maya
Maia Kobabe (@redgoldsparks) and I are not the same person! (But if you don’t already know eir work, definitely check em out – eir graphic memoir Gender Queer is life-changing, and I’m not being hyperbolic)
I’m ace, queer, and genderqueer, and I’m making journal comics about my life telling the kinds of messy queer stories I needed to see when I was younger <3

to all my fellow chaos queermos & gender explosions: when the terfs and transphobes show up tryina make you hate yourself, just imagine me whackamoling every single one of ’em. I gotchu. your messiness is welcome here <3
(the dETERMINATION is there, even if the actual sword skills are not) ((you hold swords like baseball bats, right??)) (((I’m not even the type of gay that knows how to hold a baseball bat lmfao)))
[image description: a cartoony illustration of the artist, wearing blue glasses frames, black jeggings, a light blue t-shirt, and classic chuck taylors, wielding a big and probably hilariously inaccurate sword like it’s a baseball bat. She has light skin, short messy brown hair, and a big ol’ scowl]
(also, bbys, you have a right to bodily autonomy, make yrself at home in your body however that looks for you, gender is a choose your own adventure and I’m rooting for you, ily)
