tw for mentions of sexual assault of fictional characters.
Women in Refrigerators is a trope identified by comic book fan (and now comic book writer) Gail Simone because she was sick of seeing ”superheroines who have been either depowered, assaulted, or cut up and stuck in the refrigerator.”

Today I'm starting a two day docent job for my school's comic book art show, and this trope came to mind. While it refers specifically to comic books, it is a theme that can depressingly be found across most media.
But whatevs, lemme open photobooth XD
LOL here we go!
Fan art is still perfectly legitimate! I always say that old school art was just commissioned fan art of mythology and royals XD
Oh wow, thank you for the comparison :D Her stuff is great!
That comic looks awesome! Thanks for the link. And for the encouragement :) Even my own mom is less than encouraging (though I think it's more cause two of the main characters are gay, in addition to other queer side characters....)
