It's been a while... my new job has been a lot to get used to, so I haven't really been able to finish any pieces recently, but here is this. I've been meaning to catalogue my gratitude for my low-dose T. Before I went on hormones, I had been fighting my body in the background for so long without noticing, and T made me realize it only after it stopped really being a problem.

And while I am not transmasc, of course people who are transmasc can (and likely will) relate to this! I added that second panel because I want people to stop calling me or my experiences transmasc in my notes when it is incorrect and makes me uncomfortable. Thank you.

ID below thanks to @/rjalker!

[ID: A comic done in mostly black and white, titled, "A Love Letter To What Testosterone Has Given Me" with four hears in the colors of the nonbinary flag, yellow, white, purple, and black, lined up vertically next to it.

The panel next to the title reads, "A note: I am nonbinary, genderqueer, & maverique. I do not identify as transmasc or relate to transmasc experinces. Please don't refer to me as such!"

The five remaining panels are the comic itself:

The first panel shows a drawing of a person mostly offscreen, black shirt, dark hair, sideburns, and glasses just visible, and reads, "To the sideburns I knew I wanted since I was 14."

The second panel continues, "To the arm hair I never knew I needed", showing a light arm with dark hairs on it.

The third panel continues, "To the broader shoulders", showing a bare-chested person from behind with arms partly lifted.

The fourth panel continues, "& thin mustache", showing a smiling person's lower jaw and neck, covered with sparse hairs.

The fifth panel concludes, "& to the realization that people don't have to spend their lives fighting their body for peace.", and shows a person wearing boxers and a bra, with hair legs, arms, and belly, one hand on hip and looking with a small smile towards the camera. At the bottom are two small trans and nonbinary flags.

End ID.]

It started as a simple brick design but the homeowner demanded a fireplace worthy of the dog.

A hearth in the kitchen can offer a comfortable place for one or two people to sit, out of the way of food preparation but close to the center of activity.

Self Portrait '23 10" x 8" Gouache

A loose still life of my packer and my man juice 🤠 The colors in the actual painting are way too vibrant for my camera to interpret correctly and despite painstakingly adjusting the colors in ps, every digital screen I've viewed the images on look significantly different so 😂hopefully it looks okay on everyone else's end. (This and CBT were both made for an art show about penises in case anyone is sensing a theme lol.)

#hehe yes thats what i look like wdym #*record scratch* yeah thats me. you're probably wondering how i ended up like this #coming this summer: help im pebis #jk theres actually a lot of thought behind the title but i still laughed when i decided to name it that #maybe i'll actually rb with an explanation of the meaning behind this piece but rn its silly goose time #packer #gouache #testosterone #transgender #masculinity #gender #hrt #hormones #needles #painting #traditional art #original art #transition #trans art #queer art #cw needles #cw genitalia #cw nudity

i think "nonbinary" can be useful but a lot of times the way it is being used isn't helpful to actually discussing nonbinary people, especially since it is a HUGE umbrella term with very few boundaries. like there are nonbinary men & women, so positioning "nonbinary" as something intrinsically separate from man/woman isn't accurate. or there are times where it would be more useful to name the specific group (like multigender people, androgynes, abinary/aphorians) rather than a much vaguer term

in general the problem is that our language to describe nonbinary existence is basically some scraps held together with duct tape. there's sooo many ways in which nonbinary people are erased or binaried through language. not just through the lack of gender neutral options but the la of blatantly genderqueer ones.

i kinda feel like as of right now, nonbinary-ness is pretty slapdash & all over the place and it would be helpful to have a large-scale discussion on what terminology would be best for discussing things like exorsexism and it's various aspects, and how to talk about nonbinary people without homogenizing us, while ALSO acknowledging the need for umbrella terms that can cover a range of individual identities, even if people don't personally identify with the umbrella term itself. & on that note we should also probably discuss the issue of. like. perfectionism wrt nonbinary language & the way that potentially useful terms get lost bc of it. I don't think nonbinary people can really achieve meaningful equality and inclusion on the same level until we are able to have equally diverse and useful ways of describing ourselves, and a stronger understanding of how we relate to each other as a community.

#I've been chewing on this general topic for a while #bc I'm realizing that I don't like identifying as nonbinary specifically bc of how ppl often use that #to just mean ''gender neutral'' & often exclude androgyne multigenders by assuming nb can't be men/women #even trans theory so often just groups nonbinary people in with whoever feels the most relevant and is uninterested in exploring exorsexism #outsidr of it's connection to other issues #there's an assumption that nonbinary experiences can be more or less grouped in w binary ones without missing out on much #it's just frustrating. same w when people assume that all transitions end w people looking cis-passing #and ignore the difficulties that can come from things like non traditional bottom surgery! #there's next to no resources for salmacians and virtually none for agenital prople #which y'know. might be important for things like urinary/genital care #or sex work or anything #hell so many people have argued that exorsexism doesn't exist because all nonbinary oppression is ''just transphobia'' #so many ppl are completely uninterested in looking at nonbinary people separate from binary ppl & binary experiences #m.

people talk a lot about how zun's early windows portraits (and move to new drawing software for clip studio paint in MoF) were rough but the more i look at art of anime girls from the early 00s the more i think "hm. everyone was absolutely Struggling getting them off of paper and onto a screen huh."

#2009~ is where you start seeing them look actually decent rather than supremely oily and covered in gray shading #90s anime girls look fine 10s anime girls look fine #it's just the digital transition #i think his traditional art has basically always been good

◦ I started properly getting into astrology in 2023, after superficialy dabbling in it since 2021. Iniitally, I looked into it to debunk it. However, through approaching it with a critical lens, I came to realise the truth and significance behind it. What previously closed my mind off to ever taking astrology seriously was the garbage pop culture astrology permeating the internet, and its modern day link to spirituality and understanding it solely as a psychological tool (more of this will be disucssed in the first post). ◦ As I've been learning, I wanted to create a place to consolidate my thoughts, hence me creating this blog. The information derives from an amalgam of different sources, and I will try to cite where necessary/possible. I consider myself a forever student, however, and it is still very much early days in my astrological knowledge. ◦ Below is a list of the content I plan on writing about as I continue to learn. The titles will be clickable links when they are done. ◦ P.S. I use the tropical zodiac, whole signs, traditional rulerships, and practise by using a blend of traditional and modern techniques and ideas. All my information is taken from various sources e.g. reddit, tumblr, tiktok, discord, websites, youtube etc.

that one arashi post about presenting her as overtly feminine in fan media but not in a "trans women are only valid if they conform to traditional femininity" kinda way and more in a "happyele are a bunch of pussies for having a trans woman imply/state she wants to be more feminine in every sense of the word and then never letting her do so beyond socially" kinda way

#i cant remember if i rbd that on my old blog or this one?? #but i am Thinking about it again #its smth i always try to be conscious about?? bc as a more man-leaning person i do not present masc 90% of the time #and i rlly dont feel pressured to present a certain way since im kinda all over the place when it comes to gender #and with arashi its like. the opposite?? like she feels pressured to present more masculine bc of her public status #but she WANTS to wear cute dresses and flowy skirts and big puffy blouses with obnoxiously large bows #the long hair is non negotiable i give all my faves a mullet whether they want it or not #i blame axel kingdom hearts for starting that trend #ensemble stars #enstars #arashi narukami #AND SOCIAL TRANSITION IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS ANY OTHER KIND #and for a lot of trans ppl thats enough! #but she is v clear about wanting to fit a more traditional feminine image bc she WANTS to. NOT bc shes EXPECTED to. #ok thats it i always get defensive for literally no reason whenever i draw her #i think its bc hiyori is there too and i feel like i dont make her as fem looking??? i just suck at drawing women idk man #if youre not androgynous/slightly fem looking or literally built like yoshiya kiryu i cannot draw you sorry #iamtryingforchiakiiamTRYING

Just a Pride Month pic I had really wanted to do with them!! I saw that shirt and knew I needed to put him in it lol These are just based on my HCs for Jayce and Lucy, but I'd like to think they aren't the only ones!

It’s a modern fantasy setting where magic is hidden and whatever, but I honestly don’t think anybody at a NYC Pride would give a shit about a demon showing up lol They’d probably be thrilled even.

Hail Satan I guess! #he doesn't have traditional scarring bc magic methods were used for his permanent transition top and bottom (before the demon stuff lol) #it normally might not leave much scarring at all but this fucker also basically did a very complicated spell in his basement as a teen so #modern fantasy can still have modern solutions

yall are willing to die for trans women and not trans men and we should talk about it actually

#transandrophobia #you'll do anything to protect trans women but dont have that same energy for trans men. interesting. #anyways i think the reason this is is bc ppl like this think bc we're men we dont need to be helped or protected #that somehow we should have figured out how to do this on our own. that we dont need community bc we're already solid and tough enough #which is weird like. how are you trans friendly but then you dont do any other basic progressive shit like #getting rid of gender roles entirely instead of now instead applying them to trans people also? ?? #like you dont get to be all 'men should express their emotions and be vulnerable' and then reinforce the traditional gender roles on- #trans men still. like have you or havent you decondtructed that shit in your head or did you iust see someone reblog something that seema #correct w/o even doing any critical thinking or self reflecting or anything on your end at all #i didnt suddenly become made of rock and become invulnerable when i transitioned. bc that narrative for men in general is inaccurate- #and harmful. and even if i did become super buff and capable of mowing down my enemies that wouldnt mean i dont suddenly need community #that doesnt mean i become immune to bullets or that i dont need a space to express my emotions regarding being trans n shit #like yall really just want to leave us out here to die it seems like. we have nowhere to go. no real community bc yall wont give us the #time of day or compassion or anything. you think 'men bad' and thats the deepest your political analysis goes as far as im concerned. #and if thats the case how much better are you than a terf who just decided they were 'okay' with trans women? #p sure this post was inspired from a trans guy literally being a meat shield for other trans ppl and no one gave a fuck.

Books of 2023. FLIGHT & ANCHOR by Nicole Kornher-Stace.

Sooo I have a Murderbot hangover (shocking No One), and when that sort of thing happens, I try to thread my way out with book worlds that are Close But Different. This one is short, and very corporate hellscape, and also escaped modified supersoldiers, so I'm hoping it's a nice transition!

#books #books of 2023 #flight & anchor #nicole kornher-stace #book photography #my photography #this is part one of Trying To Escape Bot btw #part two will be witch king (which i'll use to transition to bitch queen lmao) #(not me relying on martha wells to help me escape martha wells lmaooo) #i feel like i'll have to ramp up to bitch queen i'm such a coward about big fantasy series #i don't know why i'm like this and i do read Fast but. hnngh #idk i'm much more likely to read sf/weird than traditional fantasy
