lol, I remember reading these years ago! Good times.
I stumbled across “Magdalena” just now, and at first I was considering reading it. It’s not that often you find a comic focusing on battle nuns, after all. Our niche is a small one.
But after giving it a glance over, I’m not sure I could stomach it. It’s just so… American. In that tacky superhero-y, overly-sexualized, cheap shock way. I like ridiculous self-deprecating ‘sploitation genres sometimes, but this comic (like many other mainstream US comics I’ve tried to read) doesn’t seem to realize what a parody it is of itself.
It reminds me of my initial side-eye reaction when I heard about Helena Bertinelli, a superhero who I would have loved to associate with (I am also an Italian-American raised Catholic superhero!) but for her horrendous costume:
Auuuugh it’s so tacky it makes me want to claw my eyes out. And again, this is a character who’s supposed to be a devout Catholic. (And as if a rich Mafia-familiy Italian girl would let herself be seen in something so unfashionable, pls.) I’m tempted to try giving her a Mafia!Nun redesign someday.
The only other comic about warrior Catholic ladies I know of is “Warrior Nun Arelea:”
The creator himself lampooned the ridiculous outfits by having a character in the comic buy a book called “Warrior Nun Areola.”
It just makes me kind of annoyed that anytime religious women (particularly nuns) are shown in comics, they have to be dressed in something more akin to “adult costumes” than modest clothing. I’m not asking for realism here, I mean… look at what MY nuns wear:
Putting “nuns” in bikinis isn’t exciting or new, it’s extremely uncreative and completely defeats the purpose of making a religiously devout character. It reeks of laziness and a desire for cheap sex appeal. Just… stop it please.
Have you ever tried Chrono Crusade? It’s a manga instead of an American comic but “nuns with guns” was how I always recommended it to my friends XD
SCHNICKLE-SENPAIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!
Hi.
TUMBLR YOU EFFING TROLL…
No wonder YJ-Robin loves you.
Oh, hi, Randomy! Pay no mind to Schnick’s ranting. She’s just been outwitted… by a website… again.
You’ll get the hang of it soon enough. It’s not nearly as confusing as Gaia could be sometimes… Also, if you post any DK stuff, I’ll reblog it~ ^__^
Woah, is that the chick with the crazy fanfics? Good times, loved your stuff.
For anyone who cares:
dorakishiproject.tumblr.com is a blog in which I write about the process of translating DK chapters. It’ll give a bit of insight into some of DK’s content and stuff that doesn’t carry the same meaning in the English volumes, or just plain didn’t make it into the English volumes full stop. I’m not sure how much I’ll be posting, but if anyone wants to follow, I’ll try to keep things interesting.
What? As your partner in crime I’d like to know why I didn’t know about this blog >o> <o< >o>
Merp, spent the last couple of nights rolling around, attempting to draw things but not really. So now you have a cocky, little, dragon doodle.
I made a bet on LJ that if I got into Otakon I would make a large print featuring most of the characters from the obscure manga Dragon Knights. And they’d be drawn as dragons, naturally. DK fans, I’ll promise at least the knights and officers!
I sort of freaked out because I reread the Otakon rules and realized it was 50/50 fan art and no fan art buttons (oh the humanity!) I think I’ll finish all my wip fan art prints before I start designing more original ones though, or else I’ll just have way too much on the back burner.No fanart buttons only applies to fanart buttons that use official artwork. The banned list includes (emphasis mine):
Buttons, pins, hats, or t-shirts bearing official character likenesses**
At the very bottom, it then says (emphasis mine)
Official Character Likeness: The actual picture of a licensed character, vehicle, etc. produced by the copyright holder. Fan created drawings do not violate this rule.
So we’re good. U_U
(I’m feeling paranoid, so I’ll probably print a set of these rules and bring them with me to the con, hurr.)
Okay, what had happened was Mukki got confused because she thought Chewi told her that last year Otakon staff made her take down her fan art buttons. Turns out Mukki was thinking of Chewi’s story from a different con! So I think you’re right, we should be good :D
If this print is a thing that comes to fruition, you can bet your bottom dollar I’m buying one first day. I did it with Elf Chuchu last year, and I’ll do it with you this year. It will be glorious.
Oh sweet, I didn’t know you go to Otakon :D Yup, I’m working on the print right now! Muwhahaha! It’ll be up by the end of this weekend, at the latest x3
