Also, some applicants had some very good questions about the zine! Here are the answers:

1) We don't currently have a word count in mind for editorial essay/written submissions for the zine but will likely be keeping those at four pages max. 2) If accepted, we ask that you hold off on selling whatever you create for the zine at art fairs, online, etc., until the zine has been up for sale for a decent time (exact timeline TBD, probably a few months) as we'll be donating profits to a TBD charity. 3) The deadline for artwork completion will be October 1st. We will have three check-in dates (May 15th, July 15th and September 1st) to make sure things are on track/review WIPs.

my comic/essay on why I love phantom of the paradise as a trans artist. I may end up editing it and making a zine in the future

Before phantom of the paradise belgium had her own masked 70's hero.

'de kat'

This was a kids show about a guy dressed as a cat who wanted to save the nature in 1973.

You can't find much about these series. Episodes and intro were taken down from youtube because the show itself afther many years can be seen again on tv. Yes i watched some episodes. Their cheesy 70's stuff. We belgian people talked funny back then lol.

I could've sworn I read somewhere that "sweet" in Elizabethan parlance is essentially the Old English version of "queer". I can't find any reliable sources to back up that claim but if that context is to be believed, Faust calling Meph "sweet mephistopheles" gives off the same vibes as "gay bowser"

neocities guide - why you should build your own html website

do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again? try neocities!!

what is neocities?

neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words: "we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."

why should I make my own website?

web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.

what would I even put on a website?

the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !! here are some cool example sites to inspire you: recently updated neocities sites | it can be fun to just look through these and browse people's content! space bar | local interstellar dive bar creature feature | halloween & monsters big gulp supreme peanutbuttaz | personal site dragodiluna linwood | personal site patho grove | personal site

Phantom of the Paradise + Screenshots of Despair.

there's this channel I watch on youtube that is just a guy in his studio with like 30 synths and some cymbals and mics and trippy lights and he posts a new 30+ minute track of ambient synthesizer music. He makes some really interesting rhythms and some bizarre patches and it is absolutely mesmerising to me. Sometimes it'll be spacey, sometimes it'll be some tangerine dream type thing going on, every time it seems like he's just having the most fun someone could have with a bunch of synths and I think that's the best

sometimes…….things that are fanon………are worse

fandom wide mandate that everyone has to re-watch the source material in steady intervals to minimize intense fandomization of tropes and characterizations that happens when people go without new source material for too long

*turns into a fucking

Destiel this, Destiel that, Paul Williams, co-star of the 1974 cult classic Phantom of the Paradise has been openly gay shipping Swinslow since at least 2017

some of the soup recipes ive found remind me of when i was like nine or ten and battling a cold so my tastebuds were off. and i put grape juice in my chicken noodle soup. and it was my new favorite food for about a week

it's hell trying to find medieval western european recipes that are 1. somewhat autism-safe, 2. don't contain nuts or other allergens, and 3. aren't some horrible food crime

though you don't have to tell me that restrictions like these completely defeat the purpose

if one is to prepare a historical meal, one must make the conscious decision to eat something completely rank, get overstimmed and die of anaphylaxis and also tastebud poisoning

i made a thing (title isn't *100%* accurate but i tried my best)

(also the frans hals painting i shopped if anyone wants to use it)
