This comic has been living rent free in my head all day. And not just due to all the likes I've gotten, genuinely just been like "this, moments like this make me glad to be a transfemme. And to be doing what I love as a historian."
Kindle the flame of empathy, and keep looking to the future to come.
Kid of an archaeologist here, currently working w/ archaeologists. This argument always pissed me off so thank you for this! They look at so much more than just your bones but also at any and all context they can glean from it. (And also future ones will have much better records to reference too!)
This is great! Is there any centralized place that you've uploaded your art to? I'm a bit surprised at how little stuff there is on your account here considering you're very clearly experienced.
thanks for the reminder! i haven't done much with this account yet so i forgot to put my linktree in my bio
i'll usually crosspost my art on twitter, tumblr, and here! no centralized place i guess, though i may start using webtoon or something similar for future comics ^^
In my elaborate fantasy in which my partner and I can eventually retire and buy a hobby farm I still want to make and sell bespoke booby trapped ossuaries because of that joke, though.
I want to ask any bozo who gives the skeleton argument to give me their life story, but only include information about their height, birth gender, heritage, and if they've broken any bones, because apparently that's the only thing that matters.
I'm mad at my brain because I know I would've loved this before I had a specific piece of fiction shoved into my brain during a breakdown In a discord that *fuck* took advantage of (J.) And now it makes me insanely uncomfortable and ITS SO CUTE AND WHOLESOME BUT my brain sucks ughhhhhh godammmnnnnnn
I know you're getting a lot of comments like this on both here and on Twitter, but this is great. I really hope you decide to continue this as a story. I'd love to see her navigate her new life in the future.
This was beautiful! Oh god, I love sci-fi like this!
Particular detail I love is that, yes, archaeologists would be able to test for the presence of hormones in the bones! So, to those cis knobheads who say, "An archaeologists would misgender you," no, they would not. Eat it!
Praying for you that if the heart condition claims you prematurely this happens to you. Unless that's a weird thing to say. Then I'm not doing that. (I'm autistic please don't get mad)
oh my goddd this is so CUTE but the dialogue writing is also really good? like even when the scientist lady is just expositing, the dialogue is still full of character and I love that
Oujhghhgh I just saw this on Tumblr earlier... Time to make it blow up over here too!! Such an excellent comic, I adore the future archeologist's whole design and vibe aaaaa 💚✨🏳️⚧️
Please understand that being the archaeologist here and being able to deliver this experience to everyone that needs it is one of my ultimate power fantasies the JOY IS SO DHDJNXJSJXJSJNFIXUEIDJAKSKXJSUFJWKFOOACJIEHFIDKZ
This is really cute! But now I'm sitting here pondering, "Now why are future archeologists going around resurrecting random people from centuries past?"
Our protagonist seems to have retained her memories; maybe she'll be asked to share information on life in 2025? Implying there are others...
I never got the idea of the whole "future archaeologists" thing anyways, I guess it's meant to be some scary final word of gender essentialism, but if it's "archaeologists" digging up your bones they'll have no real attachment to you.
They're not labeled by name, they take vague potshots at what the people they were within were like, and it's always given a disclaimer of inherent inaccuracy. If that's something meant to scare us evil transes congrats cis people are not immune to that whatsoever. You, too, will pass.
Lets also not forget that cremation is a pretty popular option across much of the world as well anyways. So the whole "hurr durr, yurr bones" thing doesn't fly because alot of folks probably aren't going to be put to rest in any kind of way that leaves much for archaeologists to examine.
And for those that are, well, we're not in an era of haphazardly dumping our dead anymore. We have dedicated sites (cemeteries) for them now, and we're good at record keeping these days. I doubt our current, living generations will have much to teach archaeologists of the future, bluntly.
Barring an apocalypse where our current world is ended, I do not see a future where a modern office worker of today finds themselves passing tomorrow and being dug up a thousand years in the future, like a Viking warrior from a thousand years before them, frankly.
Also, of course, there is just the matter of how I doubt many, if any, trans folks care one whit about these hypothetical archaeologists of the future perceiving them anyways. I expect they're more concerned with their present than this hypothetical future like these ridiculous scaremongers, lol.
So I wanted to have at least my head if not my whole body cryogenically frozen so this might happen one day. Then I realized I couldn't wait untold years and just became me the hard way.
I don't usually get emotional at just reading comics like this but that last panel killed me. Immediately got choked up. Absolutely wonderful little journey. 💗🏳️⚧️
So glad this popped up on my feed. Love this so much! Got me in the heart, and really needed to see and hear that with all the bad going around at the moment.
Thank you so much ^^
I absolutely LOVE "You look great by the way! Very young!" like that hasn't occurred to dead girl at all while science girl is all stumbling over her words,,, so great
I know a lotta people (myself included) will be liking for trans rep, but it's also fascinating as to how far science will progress in the next few hundred years in Developed countries (sorry America).
Comments
also. the scientist is so real about the suit thing. when are we gonna see the two kiss.
This is so beautiful and legitimately gave me hope, thank you so much 🙂↕️🙂↕️💜💜💜
I LOVE THEM BOTH SO MUCH
AND SHE LOOKS AMAZING WITH THE SUUUUUUIT
I was about to go to bed when a friend shared this on Discord. As a transfemme historian.
Thank you, I needed this. Badly. Thank you Thank you. Imma gonna go sleep with a smile. I'm about to bawl for joy.
Yes I played Helltaker.

very big fan of this comic and your artstyle.

I actually want more of this
And I have a little soft spot for the topics tbh~
Please tell me you plan to do more works like this!!!
They are great!
📌
also, echoing what others have already said: you HAVE to make them kiss at some point, it's...it must happen, it just has to, okay
Particular detail I love is that, yes, archaeologists would be able to test for the presence of hormones in the bones! So, to those cis knobheads who say, "An archaeologists would misgender you," no, they would not. Eat it!
(This is beautiful)
💖
legit crying now, thank you.💖
Thank you for making this
This hit me like a freight train, damn
It's beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
(the whole comic is also really good)
I'm happy she got a second chance!
Present day archaeologists are already considering gender-diversity; just imagine what they'll be capable of
The future is going to be great
Our protagonist seems to have retained her memories; maybe she'll be asked to share information on life in 2025? Implying there are others...
Liked the way you talked about it, well done (-v-)
I wish to someday see such a future. If not for myself, then those like us!!!
THANK YOU FOR THE GORGEOUS ART!!
I adore all of this, even the slightly thirsty scientist XD
(This trans char also doesn't die. Not completely.)
But I needed to see this.
I love the facial expressions and body language throughout, your style feels so lively! And my HEART THIS IS ALL SO SWEET
i love it
Thank you so much ^^
I need more of this story!!!
thank you for this little comic
Am
NOT
Crying.
Either way, I must say she has good taste~
I'm more curious about the brain being intact enough to have memories. Does the soul exist? That's neat! Good for her
Though I guess they can be brought back now.
is this standalone, or part of a whole setting??
Just so totally beautiful. 🏳️⚧️
great art and story, very liked.
I'm just gonna be thinking about having this happen to to me as I go to sleep tonight, that's all.

We need more positive things in the world and this is 100% one of them
