#art#2022#personal#being trans in the countryside is an exercise in eating yourself alive before someone else does#this was a tdov piece but im kind of glad i took longer to get to it .. i feel like the atmosphere on that day is usually hopeful at#the most bitter and i have grown .. very bitter through growing up in isolation in a small conservative countryside town with 0 access to#transition despite trying for my entire teens hahaha#that and being alone through it because every single lgbt even happens hours away and public transport neither comes to or leaves your town#*event#leaves you very fucked up i feel. especially if you don't have cishet people around you either so you're left stewing with yourself#my werewolf thing is very gimmicky and corny but it's very deeply personal to me if not a way to survive#when people lie and talk about trans people and wolves both in the same tone here#(to the extent i fully believed i was a werewolf up until the age where i found out about trans stuff)#SORRY that got very rambly. i'm still ridiculously lucky in a lot of ways and have gotten out relatively unscathed but. i know i felt#comfort when other people in similar situations spoke about theirs. it's so so deeply vital and good and necessary for your health to see#trans people thriving and being able to access transition as much as they want and having big communities and families but i know i felt#like something was deeply wrong with me when i lived in a place where wearing a pride pin got me physically chased in public with nobody#intervening & all of the stuff about trans survival i could find online at the time was about simply walking to your closest lgbt education#centre or such#i don't know if that's coherent .. what i'm trying to say is that my heart goes to anyone in similar and worse and heavier situations#you'll be okay and you'll find community and love and be able to be as open as you'd like in time#even if the gritting your teeth and trying to make it till then part feels inescapable#heavy stuff aside i'm ridiculously happy with this .. i've been struggling with art & adjusting to my wrist and working slower for a really#long time but i genuinely had a lot of fun with this even if it started as vent art#i feel like i've finally reached the energy i want my art to have#& i'm excited to get to drawing again even if i have to take longer breaks now ..#still gotta figure out how to work animating into that but. :-). thanks for the patience and sticking around ..#OH description song is wolfman agenda by shakey graves#i should probably start tagging those when im not just making up captions HEHAHA#tablet
