not me sending myself to eeby deeby at 5 am by thinking too hard about chorus
#just thinking thoughts...#i mean what's new right. this hasn't happened in a while so it was about time#but i feel like a core concept of it is 'the endlings of suffering'#where you know. when awful things come to an end and things are better for the next generation#but there is that one last generation that gets to suffer. and like how do you cope with that#i think i feel this way a lot with art. born just too late to participate in the traditional manga publishing scene#born just too early to learn the ropes of digital art.#born just in time for everything i learned about traditional art to go obsolete as I'm trying to begin making a living#i feel this way about being transgender too#my generation was probably one of the last to not have trans people#we just didn't know that was a possibility and it wasn't normalized yet#but the internet exploded and became widely accessible to the youth and like. it's socially acceptable to be trans now#it's normal to have some trans kids in your class now#and i wouldn't want it any other way#but i just wish you know. WE got to experience that too. but we were just a bit too early.#we were the endlings of the long loneliness of being different from our peers and not knowing why#i dunno. it's like how my mom is in the last generation of people to have polio.#like there's a vaccine for it now and there are virtually no new cases#it's a specific kind of grief that's like. I'm so happy for you. i just wish i got to partake in it too#anyways. eating sand. everyone ignore me.
