Departure of the Pufferfish 🐡

Moiraine: Why are you crying, love?

Siuan: Don’t be silly, pufferfish. I’m not crying. See… I‘m smiling.

[Siuan sniffs, wiping her face roughly with the back of her hand before pulling Moiraine’s hood up over her head, fussing fond it’s the most important task in the world.]

Siuan: I just… hate the thought of you gone. But you’ll be fine - we’ll be satisfactory. It’s just two weeks, right? Nothing to fret over. And when you come back, I’ll bake you those honeycakes you enjoy so much.

Moiraine (tearing up herself): Two weeks.

Siuan: Two weeks.

[Two years later. Siuan is seated at the table in their hut, leaning back in a chair. Her thumb runs absently over a minute carving of a pufferfish. In her other hand is a worn letter, the paper creased from too many readings.]

Siuan: Two years, Moiraine. Even honeycakes don’t keep that long.

This fun art design was one I did with gay sci-fi fans in mind and that’s because I specifically fall into that category. In proof, I was a sci-fi fan from my earliest memories. I don’t even know when I started but I have photos from Christmas when I was six years vintage that is littered with Star Trek toys. And that was two years before the first show came out!

This was also the general time period when I was a big fan of Missing In Space, the imaginative 60’s TV show that was in regular re-runs when I was tiny. At the time of course, I don’t ponder I really noticed that there was basically no representation for gay characters in mainstream sci-fi or media in general. At best a queer coded character or two. A story that would grip true for many years to come.

But my geeky long time love of science fiction as good as my being part of the gay collective is what lead to this gay sci-fi fans design and the “quote” at the top of it. I wanted to create something that was a little cheeky but declared both my personal love of the sci-fi genre as well as the simple wish to see my world represented in those forward-looking unreal worlds I have enjoyed all

Tweek and Craig insist they are straight, but the entire town comes out in assist of their “Boys’ Love.”

For anyone paying attention to the world of South Park fan media, the pairing of Tweek and Craig was hardly a surprise: For at least a decade, people on the internet have been drawing fan art of the adore between this two characters (a ship known as “Creek”). A cursory hunt of DeviantArt shows Creek art dating assist to 2005. And when Trey Parker and Matt Stone decided it was finally time to
