TW racism, anti-blackness, and ableism

I didn’t wanna post this and trigger people (especially my black followers) bc there’s enough racist weirdos online but since this person is still floating around I wanna warn you. When I say I’ve been getting harassed and/or tagged in racist shit (I’m not black but they’ve started doing this because I said black people deserve better than their fave racist character) THIS is the worst example of what I mean. Can you all please report this disgusting troll account; I tried blocking but it didn’t initially work as it only blocked them from my main (I’ve since logged in on desktop to block them on here). I think the Applebee’s post is gone from their account bc I reported it for racism when they first tagged me in it last week but I held onto the screenshot in case this account reared its ugly head again and low and behold, it has. Tonight they’ve sent a message telling me that bringing up neurodivergency while I explain to people why I might misinterpret/have trouble understanding them through the internet is “a bit troubling” (but trolling and being a racist online isn’t??). This is obviously upsetting bc the reason I’ve done so is because I’ve felt misunderstood and wanted people to know where I was coming from, and they’re purposely trying to upset/anger/provoke me by implying I’m weaponising neurodivergency. I’m not posting this so yous get into fights or target them bc I promise that’s exactly what they want (one glance at their page will tell you that) so please just straight-up report & block them/spread the word!!!!! I’m gonna delete the app again and take another break but tbh I feel like this is the type of weirdo who’d make more accounts if one gets deleted and that makes me feel so gross and anxious about being on here. Now yous can see why I’ve refused to share my real name and/or other socials (I’ve also deleted all photo and video evidence of myself from this blog) bc there are such creepy weirdos on here and I’m glad they know as little of me as possible. Please stay safe in your interactions and/or with what you share on here (especially if you’re a minor!!!), you just never know what weirdos are keeping tabs on you

 
Here is a long overdue report of my visit at Angoulême Comics Festival this year. 

I attended Angoulême Comics Festival in France for the first time this year. Angoulême is the biggest comic festival in France and one of the largest ones in Europe with an international crowd of about 200,000 people each year gathering into this small town in southwest of France.  I had heard a lot about this festival that had gone on for over forty years and was interested to see it for myself.

I was invited as a guest to the festival as part of Femicomix Finland (Feministinen sarjakuvatoiminta). Femicomix was representing at Angoulême in collaboration with three other organizations from around the world that bring awareness of gender inequality in the comic scene and bring out more female artists. These organizations were Chicago Ladies’ Night Anthology (USA), Laydeez Do Comics (UK) and Comic Book Slumber Party (UK). As a group we called ourselves “International Girl Gang”.

The Mission of International Girl Gang was to bring awareness of gender inequality in the French comic business. Last year there was a scandal at Angoulême Comics Festival because no women were nominated for the lifetime achievement award. The scandal raised a discussion internationally about the position of women in comics. Female creators do not get as much praise as the male comic creators and are often left without publishing deals. There are many great female comic artists so why did the awards not reflect it?

To bring more women in to the eyes of the public visiting Angoulême we had an exhibition at Conservatoire as part of the Angoulême Comics Festival. Many locals and people visiting the festival came to the opening party and saw the exhibition later as well. I had few pages from my graphic novel MOSS DASH exhibited there. We had a table in Espace BD Alternative where all the international artists in the Girl Gang could sell their work and meet people visiting the festival. We also publsihed a zine International Girl Gang Encyclopedia that we sold at our stall. The zine had works from all the four organizations by different artists in the groups. There was also a two page comic about impostor syndrome by me published in the zine.

We held a very popular panel discussion on how to fight sexism in comics that had a huge line before it started. We decided to have the panel two times since there were so many people wishing to hear about this topic. Speaking we representatives from each of the four groups. Johanna Rojola was representing Femicomix Finland in the panel.

We also had a seminar day at EESI with workshops and presentations from the different groups taking part in international girl Gang. I was unfortunately unable to attend this seminar. I was supposed to talk about trans and non-binary representation in comics at the seminar but on the day I got really bad food poisoning and had to spend the rest of the day puking in the toilet. My last few days were a bit of a haze of throwing up and trying to survive. Luckily I got some strong french medicine to help with my sickness and I was able to make it back to Finland without puking on the plane, bus or train.

Our table was in the alternative area comics are of the festival and I really found some interesting artists there and wonderful new styles in comics. Alternative artists as graduates from renowned ÉESI (École Européenne Supérieure de l'Image) in Angoulême were pushed aside to a Spin off Festival near by. The works at Spin Off were very artistic and inspiring. Reminded me most of the finnish comic scene that is ruled by great artists from KutiKuti for example. The comic market in Finland is very much a small niche thing and no matter what you do you will be considered a niche thing. The french comic market is very big and many international publishers head to Angoulême in hopes of cashing in on the large french speaking market.  

As a non-binary transperson I am always trying to search representation of queer themes and artists in comics. At the festival I didn’t see many queer artists. I met one trans artist stco-19 that had many great zines about trans and queer themes which I was very happy about. The publisher LGBT BD also had many comics about queer themes. I was really happy to find them as well. But that was about it. Maybe if I understood more french I could understand the comics more, now I was mostly limited to understanding the comics that were in english. The french culture is still very conservative when it comes to LGBTQIA+ issues. So for these themes to hit the mainstream and be in comics more widely might still take some time.

I saw some women creators and artists at the stalls. Still the mayority was men in the creators, publishers and sellers. The french comic scene is still very much ruled by old men making adventure comics for other men. While women make up a large portion of the comic consumers, not many comics are made by women or for women.

Overall I had a great experience. I want to give a big thank you to all of the wonderful people of International Girl Gang and to Kone Foundation for giving us funding for the trip. Hope to go to Angoulême again but not next year since I got a little bit traumatized by my food poisoning there. And it was so hard to find vegan food there. Maybe I can go back in a few years and see if things have at all improved in Angoulême in regards to gender inequality and vegan food.

So pleased with Emily’s report today,considering she had time off when it was Greg’s funeral as took a while to get herself to a point she felt she could go back I really think she has done amazing,one very proud mum

–in Chiba, Japan, from the pov of an American Cosplay Photographer

This is a write up I’ve meant to put up for a while from my first impressions of Haco Stadium, a special cosplay-focused studio space in Tokyo. (Its not really in Tokyo, it’s in Chiba, but so close it might as well be Tokyo.) The Chiba location is now the largest of this kind of cosplay studio in the country. 

So here we go, 

My cosplaying friend had gone to the smaller Ikebukuro studio before, so she had a membership set up already and was a little bit familiar with their process. She graciously reserved our tickets online for us. You can purchase a ticket at the physical location on the day you’d like to use it, but there’s limited space and a chance for tickets to sell out. You can either buy tickets ahead at the counter or online. The online booking system is in Japanese, and requires some Japanese knowledge to navigate.

In general, that’s the thing. You really should have some amount of Japanese to access this, and you do need a Japanese address. This is not something designed for travelers from out of the country, in any way. I currently live and work here, so it wasn’t a problem for me, but. Anyway!

The ticketing system works by giving you access to specific time slots. There are three options: All Day, Morning, and Afternoon (3:00 pm to 8:00pm). We chose the Afternoon 5-hour Slot. We met at a middle point between us in Tokyo a little earlier in the day, got lunch, and then got on the train to get to Funabashi.

Luckily for us, the trains were convenient and we had little trouble with my cosplayer’s suitcase and wig case. In Japan, you don’t go to a location or event in cosplay. Props are also hidden or covered. Instead, you need to bring all of  your materials with you and change once you get there in provided rooms. This is meant to cause as little bother to the people in the area as possible and is standard for almost every event in Japan. This mean we were navigating with a full suitcase, wig box, and my own photography bag, and it still wasn’t terrible. Our only trouble was at Keiseifunabashi, where we couldn’t find an elevator, but between us we got everything safely down the stairs and to the street. On the way, we spotted quite a few people with rolling suitcases and suspiciously prop-shaped bags, which made it easy to find our way up the street to the Vivitt.

The Vivitt is essentially a large mall, and its extremely easy to find. Haco is on the third floor near the front of the building and takes up a giant amount of space. While Haco is just one floor, it has over 15 different locations inside, and you really don’t get a sense of the size from outside. It’s a very nondescript space when you approach it. All you see is clean white walls, the Haco Logo, a line, and some workers waiting behind a counter. It sort of reminded me of approaching an airplane counter. You’d never know what the shop is for by looking at it, and that’s the point.

When we arrived, one of the staff caught us outside of the line to the registers to make sure we had all our tickets, memberships, etc in order. Haco Stadium requires that you make a membership account with them in order to use their services, so I had to fill out some forms while we waited to get in line. While initially we had wanted to get to Haco a little early for our time slot, we ended up getting there exactly at 3:00. On that day, that didn’t turn into a problem.

We got our lanyards with our locker keys, and we were inside. Our membership cards went into the lanyard, just like at a con, and we had to have them on us somewhere visible or attached to a bag while we were walking around. Obviously cosplayers don’t want to wear it on their costumes, so it was really the photographers who needed to be tagged. You want to keep it with you just in case (and also for the key). I was often carrying the one for my cosplayer.

The first thing you see walking in into the space is the equipment and prop rental counter. To the right of that is the small cafe area and store with plenty of seating for waiting photographers or resting cosplayers. They have a wide variety of equipment available for rental, from flashes to cameras to shoot-through umbrellas, and they have a basic range of cosplay supplies if you’ve forgotten anything. Of course, Haco is in a mall, so if you need something you can probably pick if up from one of the surrounding stores. There’s also a Swallowtail Wig store nearby. The problem is that you must grab what you need before you go inside. Once you’re in, you can’t leave.

We had everything we needed and a full schedule in mind, so we went straight into the changing area. There’s a separate men’s and women’s locker area and changing area, with the lion’s share of the space given to the women’s section. The changing area is basically one large, open room with carpet and has full length mirrors available on the walls. Everything is shared and there are no privacy screens. Its clean and neat. There’s also some basic cosplay supplies in carts for everyone to use. There was nothing complicated available, but they had brushes, tissues, wig spray, lint rollers, and things like that on hand to use for free. Most people just choose a corner by the wall and start getting into costume. It wasn’t terribly crowded on the day we went, so it was easy to claim a spot by the wall for my cosplayer to get ready and I didn’t cause any issues also being present to help her. Because the mirrors are also shared, its a good idea to have a self-standing mirror for putting on makeup. There are no tables, so a lot of people end up propping things on their suitcases or bags as they work.

Once we were set to go, we headed into the locker room to put away our bags and jackets so we could start shooting. The lockers are spacious, big enough for your standard carry-on rolling suitcase with a little extra room left over, and they locked with the key they gave us at the front. From there, we could use any of the studio spaces in Haco as we pleased.

The layout of Haco wasn’t what I was imagining. It is a series of connected rooms, hallways, and back-corners of differently styled areas that you can freely use to take pictures. Everything is shared between all of the cosplayers and photographers currently inside the space, but there are so many places to choose from that we rarely had to wait long or look far for somewhere to start shooting. A lot of areas can be easily shared between more than one set of people, so it was only a matter of trying to be polite and staying out of everyone’s way. Some areas, like the stage, were in high demand, and we just had to wait our turn or use some of the wall space nearby to shoot until it was free. I never felt too frustrated waiting for different areas. Every single space, including the connecting hallways, are decorated and free to use. Even the stage had a stage curtain backdrop, and behind the curtain there was a narrow black hallway with some chairs that could be used for ‘backstage’ shots.

The biggest challenge is the lighting. While I’ve been calling Haco a 'studio’, in terms of lighting it isn’t. Most areas are only lit by over head recessed lighting in the ceiling, although some areas had extra lights you could turn on or off as you needed them. None of the areas are lit to a real photography professional’s level, and if you don’t have flash, don’t have reflectors,  or if you are in one of the darker areas, it can be very unflattering. Essentially, the lighting is meant to provide some ambient light that doesn’t compete with a flash or other photographer’s tools. You’re really intended to adjust it or add fill with additional flash.

This was one of my primary frustrations, since I had less of a lighting kit than I could have liked with me. But with a little bit of time and creativity, we were finding a lot of fun ways to use the light we had with some simple flash fill. Having a fast lens was incredibly helpful, too. If someone goes there without much lighting, or without renting any of the flashes available, there are a large number of mostly-white rooms that can give you a nice beauty lit look with little effort, and some of the areas do have interesting or specialized lighting available. But thank goodness I had my flash.

There are a few free things available around the space for the struggling photographer, too. There are silver reflectors (about 2 ft diameter) and a large number of step ladders available for everyone to share. I didn’t end up using either of these because reflectors are awkward and annoying without a secondary person around to hold them, and I was plenty tall enough for my shots, but its a nice thing that they have available if you need it.

Between the three costumes my cosplayer wore that day, we ended up using a wide variety of the available locations. In particular, I had a lot of fun using the more abstract sets that are incredibly hard to replicate or find. The 'future’ rooms were classic music video backdrop spaces themed to black and white, and they have a prison area and several culturally themed rooms too. There was also a full replica of a Japanese classroom, a winter snow set, a classical gothic area… any character could find a decent backdrop with a little creativity, and I never found any of the areas too narrow to navigate lighting equipment, cosplayer, and my camera bag. The big key to working in them was to remember it was a shared space, to clean up everything after we’d used a space, and to respect all of our fellow photographers and cosplayers. A little bit of politeness goes a long, long way, and even though we stood out as the only foreigners there that day, everyone was nothing but polite and occasionally excited to see us.

Over the five hours, we managed to shoot three costumes. Three required that we stay on the ball with our timing, but it was entirely doable as long as it didn’t take too much time to switch from one to another. I didn’t particularly notice anyone else doing multiple costumes over the whole time, but that’s mostly because its a pain to do! Somehow, we pulled it off…. It was great, because each costume was distinct from the other, and we were able to use a wide variety of locations. I didn’t notice the location starting to really get crowded until about 4 or 5 o'clock, really, so there’s a number of people who don’t use the full five hours. A lot of cosplayers seemed to have come to work with a specific photographer, as I saw a horde of them waiting inside in the cafe area, but plenty were cosplay duos or trios that used remote timers on their cameras or took photos of each other.

At the end, they gave plenty of announcements to let us know when to start heading back to the front and turn in any rentals. One at 30 minutes and one at 15. We were frantically working until the last second, but headed back into the changing area at 15 minutes to get ourselves back together and out the door without getting into trouble. Good thing we headed back a little early, too. By the time it was ten minutes 'til, the changing room had gotten a little crowded, but it was never so crowded as to be uncomfortable or inconvenient. 

Unfortunately, due to our schedule, we didn’t get a chance to try out any of the other services inside of Haco. I was curious about the cafe and the cafe prices, for one. For the all-day pass, you’re pretty much stuck inside, so it only makes sense they offer food and drink to their captive audience. Outside of the food, they also have a small anime merchandise corner and some phone charging stations. There’s also a computer so that people who rented a camera or memory cards can move the pictures onto their own hard drive, or share pictures with everyone. There’s only one, so if someone needed it, they would probably want to try to use it early. The one thing I didn’t really see was outlets for charging batteries, phones, or laptops. The only ones I spotted were covered and marked 'Do Not Use’. I imagine they probably have something, somewhere, but I didn’t see it. Luckily, when I used up my one camera battery, I had my backup charged and with me as per my normal routine, so there wasn’t a problem.

Once the day was over and we had turned in our lanyards, which took all of two seconds, it was 8:00 and we had managed to survive the day with some good shots and a good experience. The Vivitt mall basically shuts down by 8, so all the restaurants and stores were either closing or closed by the time we got out. It’s not in a major tourism area, so the town around us was also closing down as we headed to the station. I spotted a few cosplayers heading to some of the nearby family restaurants as we left, which would be a nice idea after a long day to grab some dinner before heading home. They’re super convenient, and if you do one of the morning sessions or leave an hour or two earlier, the whole mall is available for eating or shopping afterward. I and my cosplayer decided it would be best to head back to Tokyo and find dinner there before taking our trains home, so we went straight back into the train station and were back at Akihabara Station by 9 pm.

Most of Japan starts to close down by nine on a normal day, but the Gundam Cafe was still open, so we ended up there for dinner. As we ate, we went through the shots from the day, and I have to say I’m pretty pleased with what we managed to get. It was worth the late night and heading home on one of the last trains back to where I live over here, and it was definitely worth the ~2500 yen we paid for the holiday special rate. If you don’t need to rent anything, its a steal, and if you do need to rent things, I don’t recall the prices being all that terrible. While Haco is located near a convienent train station, its not a major tourist area, so for most people Haco would be the only reason you’d go there. But it is convienent to Tokyo, so that makes things a lot easier, and for me, its not a bad day trip at all.

All in all, it was a great experience, and I’m excited to go again and try to use some of the areas I didn’t shoot in this time. I really want to fill out my light kit, too, so I can take better advantage of lighting my cosplayer better (and I need some things anyway.) Ideally, I’d really like to go in with an extra hand, but I always like having someone to help with lighting and reflectors and throwing things when I do shoots anyway, so that’s pretty standard for me. But for a first time in a new location, I was pretty satisfied with what we were able to do, and the entire process was smooth and easy to understand. Once inside, its just a matter of working with what’s available. 

Even though methane is a far more potent greenhouse gas, it remains in the atmosphere for (only) about 10 years, making it a more approachable target in the short-term fight against climate change.

While CO2 does remain the more prevalent culprit, its effects are to be evaluated in the long-term. Because it lasts for hundreds of years once in the atmosphere consequences are to be expected in the second half of our century.
