I will never not be delighted by the first English description of an opossum:
“An Opassom hath an head like a Swine, and a taile like a Rat, and is of the bignes of a Cat. Under her belly she hath a bagge, wherein she lodgeth, carrieth, and sucketh her young.”
So first of all - You know how everyone says they’re coming out of quarantine a different person? I thought I’d take that to the extreme. Over the course of last year I came out as trans-masc, and started going by Jake. Jake really fits. I couldn’t tell you why. When I hear it, I know it’s my name.
Anywhoo. That’s the big news. Other news is that I quit the comic book store, and don’t have anything to do with comics as an industry or a fandom anymore. I casually consume movies and tv shows (the new marvel stuff is p dope!), but the print industry isn’t something I can give my emotional or physical stamina to anymore. And that’s okay!
These days, it’s all K-pop for ol Jakey. I drank the BTS koolaid last year, and that’s where I devote my fandom energy.
I’m trying to get back out into the world. I shut myself off for a long time and all it did was destroy my mental health. But I’m out of my coccoon now, and beautiful butterfly etc, and I’m ready to roll.
So! If you want to stick around, lovely!! I’m starting to draw again, and hell I might even post some of it. There might be a little comics fandom, but not much.
If you want to unfollow, I completely understand, and I hope you enjoyed your time with me (in the before-fore-times). If you’re as thoroughly entrenched in k-pop as I am these days, PLEASE let me know, I am looking for folks to follow.
Also I have no idea how to use tumblr anymore.
Okay! That’s it! HI EVERYONE WOW 2020 WAS A YEAR RIGHT.
Flatbear! You're back! That's wonderful! I hope you've been doing ok!

Hello wonderful anon! I hope you’re well also! I’m okay, I’ve been through it, but haven’t we all? I should probably make a little post about the ~changes in my life but the important shit is I’m here, I’m healthy, I’m happy more often than I’m not, and I wish the same for all of you <3
Hello. I hope you are doing well. I booted up and old laptop and found some of your old artwork and it made me smile after I very rotten day so I thought I'd stop by and say hi. I don't have tumblr anymore but your posts used to make me happy.
That is SO lovely to hear, thank you! I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to hear that my old stuff has bought you any kind of joy <3 I’m slowly slowly getting back to art (ty bts for giving me my inspo back), so hopefully I’ll be around a little more!
I hope you are doing well also, anon, and that one day I can put out something that will make you smile again :)
Flatbear! You’re back!
I think….I might be? Slowly? Yeah!! Hello! How are you all?
I really do hope that they never find the woman who ruined the Tour de France this year. I hope the international manhunt gets them nowhere and this woman becomes the D.B. Cooper of bad cardboard signs
For those unaware: A woman holding a single handmade sign up to the cameras at the Tour de France accidentally knocked a cyclist at the front of the pack off of his bike, causing a pileup that became the largest mass crash in the race’s entire history. She fled the country and there is now an international manhunt to find her and sue her.
