The year is 2014. I am over 230 pounds. I am in a terrible, traumatic relationship. I am working 5 jobs, and still struggling paycheck to paycheck. I’ve always had a hard time with my weight, but it seems the only solace I have these days is in food.
It’s strange to look back on pictures sometimes. I still feel so much like this girl, but I know she and I are so different. I wish I could go back and hug her. Tell her it’s all going to be okay in the end.
Today, you can just see the life in my face more. I’m not at my lowest ever weight, but the balance of finding joy off a plate of food is so much easier now. I am surrounded by so much love and support, and I feel so lucky to have been able to discover this version of myself.
To anyone who is struggling, all I can tell you is: you deserve it. You deserve life. You deserve happiness. Don’t ever sell yourself short. You are worth it.

What I love most about Gandalf big naturals is how much it eases my chest dysphoria. I can sleep without a shirt on now because of Gandalf Big Naturals. Knowing that the artist made the original image while recovering from top surgery and said the image was like a final parting gift from their boobs makes me feel even better about the image's effect on me. Men with big naturals makes me feel much more good about my body than those old posts on here that were like "trans men! Some men have pecs!!! So don't feel dysphoric <3". It's much more meaningful to see a hairy, bearded man with a huge H cup rack not letting his tits get in the way of his masculinity.
Most of all, Gandalf Big Naturals helped me love my body the way it is instead of hating something that's a part of me. Of course I still want top surgery but the fact that I can live with my own big naturals until then without wanting to guillotine them off is really important.

“I killed wizard’s filth like you all my life, I killed them with guns, and bombs, and knives, and gas, and when I didn’t have any of those I just got in real close and put my thumbs through their fucking eyes. You can flick that little skewer around all you like, boy. I’ll choke you with it.”

The Meeting on the Turret Stairs but Make It Shadowgast
After more than a year, this painting is done! This is one of my favorite paintings, and it was wonderful to reimagine it to suit one of my favorite pairings. :D This is by far the most I have ever worked on a painting, and I learned so much while making it. Please enjoy all the details I crammed in there to find.
Some close-ups under the cut!
And where it started, the original painting and the sketch:
Cheers, all 🥂💜🧡

Poets, prophets, and reformers are all picture-makers — and this ability is the secret of their power and of their achievements. They see what ought to be by the reflection of what is, and endeavor to remove the contradiction.
Frederick Douglass, "Pictures and Progress (1864-65)"
