you'll just be minding ur business and then suddenly the air smells like an august evening in 2005

I never know how to say this without sounding condescending but when it comes to social media you can simply choose not to be around people who make you unhappy.

80% of "passing" is having enough money to purchase the clothes and services that will allow you to pass. Please stop holding being able to stealth up as the pinnacle of trans achievement. That place belongs to surviving. It belongs to finding joy. It belongs to love and community, not people who are rich enough to have professional makeup artists and tailors.

The rb > like thing to me isnt about clout, but its qbout just encouraging people to be a bit more interactive on the site. Of course you don't have to say snything in the tags, but if you have something innyour mind you want to say, its a thousand times better than not saying it at all to the artist

I've started to get over the whole "likes are terrible" thing, even if it still annoys me it doesnt hurt me. I just wish people spoke to me more on this damn website

soooo i heard ova is coming soon???

(I don't think tumblr has many straight trans guys but maybe they are hiding somewhere. Straight trans guys where are you)

Favorite thing about renaissance faires is that they have fuck all to to with the renaissance. This thang is not about historical anything this is about dressing up like a fairy and watching a joust

hey has tumblr.com as in like the actual website itself been running like dogshit lately. load times have been atrocious. stuff just isn't working. etc.

okay hey wait art suggestion time. stop locking yourself in to an art style. especially if you're anyone whos still in/under highschool. but even then stop fucking doing that.

theres nothing wrong with having a preferred style to draw in (clearly as a guy writing a multi book comic i know. trust that i know) but if you catch yourself thinking 'i cant draw that its not my style' or 'i want to learn to draw like that but its not my style' you gotta knock that shit off

you are not a brand. you are not a company. you are a person learning a skill and how the hell do you know what 'your style' is without trying to learn to draw in different ones? please do style studies. please try drawing realism even if it looks like shit at first. try doing abstract works. you dont have to like them but im begging you at least to try, because the things you learn carry over into your main body of work. and youll see yourself grow in ways you didnt think you could 'in your style'.

sunshiney characters who adore the mean grumpy character, platonically or romantically, but not DESPITE them being mean as if that isn’t who the other “really” is deep down. they love it. they think the other is the funniest cleverest most delightful person alive

Today in another lesson on why it is important to be calm and patient and kind, I met a very large and scary looking angry pierced and tattooed man who I thought was trying to pick a fight until I though "oh, you're probably just being extra defensive because you're used to people looking at you, seeing that you're a large and scary pierced and tattooed man, assuming you're an agressive criminal, and treating you like the enemy" and you know what once we talked things out he was a really cool and chill guy

thoughts suck

unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.
