Remembering the time in college when I had thought the girl I was hooking up with was aware of my trans status

Releasing Nimona on the last day of pride month 2023 was such a great move because it’s a really needed piece of media right now. Lots of countries that legalised gay marriage years ago have been grappling with this rising TERF narrative of “if you’re gay it’s whatever but if you’re trans, non-binary or gender non-conforming in some way you’re a PERVERT! A MONSTER trying to GROOM CHILDREN!” The outrage against simple things like pronouns and drag events, and the movement against gender affirming healthcare have reached a terrifying peaks for contemporary times.
So a kid’s movie set in a fictional country with controlling government officials with personal agendas, with an openly gay couple but also a shape-shifting kid who cannot even be afford to be out is our reality in the US today. Nimona’s feelings about her vibe, body and form, her insistence that she is only “Nimona” no matter what she looks like and her aversion to “small-minded questions” together forms such a beautiful allegory about trans, genderfluid individuals.
Ballister asks her to be a girl, but for whose sake? It’s only for the comfort of people who refuse to understand her, and would rather see her die than let her be herself. And it’s this widespread rejection and loneliness that has eventually made Nimona indifferent to pain, that makes her feel suicidal.
In the end, it is another member of the LGBTQ+ community that truly sees and accepts Nimona for who she is. And that should be a reminder that we cannot let them divide us. Trans people stood up for the rest of us and made historical change happen, and we need to do the same for them. Besides, cis queer people are only the “good ones” until they’re done with trans people and then will turn on us.

ELF HRT (ft. @onkarlos5)
Inspired by @ayviedoesthings (dragon hrt, and they started the thing iirc), @kaylasartwork (bat hrt) @nyxisart (puppy hrt), @welldrawnfish (fish hrt I think), and many more!
I also originally got the idea of elf hrt from @squiretilde and it reminded me of my old elf oc from a rp sooooo :3

i think it would be funny to see your take on this style of comic
i really don't know who it would be but it would be amusing
Actually I always wanted to do it give me some time
It's been in my brain for too long...
