Off to northern sweden, innit
In northern sweden, innit

First things first

Jen has needs

N E E D S

Just a queer swedish northerner in traditional dress (Norrbottensdräkt)  
We as humans deserve death
When you're not streaming (cus you're in sweden) and your twitch mods collaborate to make this work of art (which summarises my whole vibe and now needs to be a new alert gif for SOMETHING)
Loooleäälveenn

Buried treasure from childhood home
EDIT: It's one of my brother's stuff, not mine! I was only allowed near bubble bobble 😂

(If you're wondering why my Sweden posts are so brief, it's because I can only type when I'm on the toilet. KIDS EVERYWHERE here. My family multiplied a lot)

Pyttipanna 🇸🇪

#vegan

Off in a campervan to visit dead relatives further north (and maybe a couple of alive ones)
Seeing all the sights - mainly trees and water
Fika, the feral way
Nommed some berries on an island where some of my relatives are buried (including my granddad who passed away before I was born)
Kukkolaforsen - complete with rapid spooky river currents, old buildings precariously close to the edge, a man catching fish with a stick and a swede looking over the river at Finland thoughtfully while eating vegan cheezdoodles

Going through more granny research and apparently she found out about the gaschambers in Germany while she was on a train in Sweden and someone showed her an article from "GHT" (Göteborgs Handels och Sjöfarts tidning) that had reports about it.

We don't know the dates this happened or what article it could've been. Which is a shame 😟
This did make me find out about Togny Segerstedt tho! Dude was super anti nazi when Sweden was anything but.

It's always sad to see a bunch of old buildings up north that either appear totally abandoned, or at the very least someone's not able to keep repairing them.

Lots of villages here that look empty.

I'm finally gonna be able to bring this original article about the nazis from ww2 home!

A super kind twitch subscriber translated it for me a ~couple years back ❤️

We've apparently exported Kevin McCloud to Swedish telly and I'd like to apologise for that 😂

Amazing food at the newly opened sushi place in my hometown - I will deffo go back!

Even tho their fish with stockings fuck me up a bit  

#vegan

Hope to get this done and uploaded on my patreon/site while I'm here in Sweden  

Doing some diary comics that are loosely connected to the granny research

No thoughts
Head empty

Uploaded to my patreon/studio with a bit of bonus info about the granny research!

Thank you for supporting me!

#Comics #TraditionalArt #Ink #Sweden diary

9year old nephew looking curious: "what kind of comics do you make when they're all for adults?"

Me:  "I make horror stories and... stuff that's not very exciting. It's all cringy stuff for old people"

*Nephew loses interest*

Me:  phew

Me: *red-faced from beer and wine at family bbq*

Nephew: "oh no are you allergic?"

Me: "Yes, let's call it that" *clearly tipsy*

Only dog

(Working on the next diary entries)

My twitch mods are at it again

You reckon they'll sponsor me?

Got a little time to work on the next diary, before I'm off to fika with more family  

I really hope I can get at least one more comic diary uploaded before this month is up

I'm too work-damaged for these kinder egg toys

Look, I don't want kids and I can only cope being around them for a short while, but having one of the youngest nieces shyly ask if I can come and pick her up from daycare tomorrow was so *disgustingly* cute that I will move mountains to make that happen.

So tomorrow I'm picking up a child from daycare.

Presented without further comment

Uploaded another diary snippet to my patreon/studio! (Thank you for the support!)

I have a whole other page, but getting time to sit and draw without interruptions is proving... difficult.... so I uploaded this in case I don't get a chance to post before the end of the month!

I wasn't a nerd as a kid in the 90s, how dare u

I wasn't bullied in school for being a nerd in the 90s, how dare u

(Rough translation for old diary entry I just found: "I went to school and was met by a sad sight: my desk cover was vandalised. Someone had written J.G = Nerd. I was hurt. It ruined my day")

Fuckin hell
I'm a smuggler of valuable goods
Packing to leave northern Sweden innit
Wish we had invented teleporters for goods.
I went to say hi to gran a couple of days ago too.
Felt a bit eerie to hear the military planes doing their practice flying overhead while visiting grans gravesite.
❤️

My "certificate" to teach 7 year old kids how to handle 💾 in school (I was 10 at the time) 😂

And a diploma for dog sledding from the same year. 

Tfw your hometown airport proudly shows its.... tractor 
Leaving Sweden, innit

back in Yorkshire, England, making coffee, innit

(And also where I shall end this thread!)

@JenJen are you returning to home, svede home? hm.
@JenJen You match with the green and with the black wingtips though ;D That's true hometown pride.

@JenJen My kids needed an explanation from their teacher what that icon meant since it's still used as "Save" to this day.

Dog sledding seems so cozy but since you took the hard course maybe you didn't really have time to appreciate the scenery. More like trying to steer straight with all the snow blowing in your face 😄

@JenJen
Snyggaste spinnrock jag sett!!!

@JenJen Plopp! I haven't had it in soooo long - they do a vegan one now!?

Havreboll and Chokladboll is my favourite though, when I was in the UK I was able to get an accidentally vegan one from Ocado on delivery. So goooood. Easy to make too tbh, I'm just lazy.

@christian sadly no vegan plopp yet! The moment they get that, I'll be jumping all over that 😻
@JenJen omg Jen
@feff I'm like a teen gay jake hager
@JenJen I can't unsee that now 😂
@JenJen Oh my gosh, so cute! <3
@JenJen
You weren't bullied because you were a nerd.
You were bullied because some people are bullies. 😤
@JenJen Mitt liv som nördbarn
@JenJen I’m so sorry. I’ve been there too.
@JenJen Got to have the eraser marks. Price of writing it *prettier*
@JenJen this is really lovely. Comic reporting is my favourite.
@JenJen the Swedish comic artist in her natural environment~
@JenJen That is heckin' sweet, tbf. Even my ice cold, child hating heart thawed a bit at that one.
@helenmclaughlinart she also whispered to her dad (my bro) "is auntie Jennie sleeping over at grans and grandads tonight?" Basically checking if I'm staying one more night or of I'm off home 
@JenJen one of the reasons I don't want kids is their apparent mind control powers!
