Johnny and the Rapist -FFF Rating: 1-

Filthy, Filthy Fanart Rating: 1 (Something similar to a pleasant thing)

(FFF Rating explanation here; see gallery folder sidebar.)

On Dec. 4th 2011 at around 7:00 pm, something truly terrible and personally emasculating happened to me. By the morning of Dec 5th, this had come out of me. Worse things have happened.

Shit happens to everyone, and no matter how scarring or terrible it may be, we all choose how to deal with our trauma. Some deal better than others. Sometimes people make awful, immature or even illegal decisions. Me? I chose to draw. I'd like to apologize to Mr. Vasquez if he feels that this is an infringement of copyright, but know that this was never an attempt to make money, ride the pigtails of his genius, or rip him off in any way: This is, quite simply, a therapeutic exercise, and I'm choosing to share the results with all of you.

In closing, I'd like to thank Jhonen for creating something that (despite his worst intentions) was so personally empowering for me. In short, just drawing this made me feel better than anything else I could have done, and if it weren't for Nny, I'd probably still be shaking in a corner instead of laughing.

All copyright, trademark, money and praise to Jhonen Vasquez.

(P.S. In case you were wondering, Nny was totally bullshitting about that whole traumatic childhood thing. He couldn't remember his childhood if he tried.)
