Husband and I just finished the series "Dead End: Paranormal Park", and loved it. I'm also considering reading the graphic novels ("DeadEndia"). Multiple trans and queer characters. "Two teenagers and a talking pug work together to fight demons in a haunted amusement park. The two slowly start to grow into themselves as they face zombies, game show hosts, witches, and crushes."

We also liked "The Hollow". "Three teens work together to find a way home after waking up in a mysterious realm filled with magic portals, strange puzzles, and nasty beasts."

This is great news. Feel proud about your courage!

Another vote for Affinity! I use it for making designs for my Cricut and even as a starting point for machine embroidery files.
