It’s shiny.. like the rocks ಥ﹏ಥ ・゚✧
GIVEAWAY RULES:
- Open to anyone anywhere, I don’t judge (except giveaway blogs… not judging you either but yeah sorry)

PRIZE:
One Telluric Runes oracle deck with golden edging (not real gold, I hope we’re clear on that) and companion book.
The runes cards:
PURCHASE INFO: The regular (not-gilded) deck in its new box is available for preorder in my Etsy store (address in my bio/about); I am receiving all the stock this week so it’s not a long wait.
While I’m at it, just a heads-up that I have begun creating the TELLURIC TAROT, in the same vein and theme as the Telluric Runes:
I use the physical properties and symbolic meaning of a mineral and plant to channel the message of each arcana. Design and release of the deck is still a couple of months ahead; I try to post a new arcana artwork here roughly every two days.
OH MY GOD whyyyy did no one tell me you’re supposed to send thank-yous after interviews?? Why would I do that???
“Thank you for this incredibly stressful 30 minutes that I have had to re-structure my entire day around and which will give me anxiety poos for the next 24 hours.”
I HATE ETIQUETTE IT’S THE MOST IMPOSSIBLE THING FOR ME TO LEARN WITHOUT SOMEONE DIRECTLY TELLING ME THIS SHIT
So i just came out to my dad abt being nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think.
He said “Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn’t work for you anymore, you’re not obligated to keep it.”
and i just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that.
Because, tbh the question itself is so hard to answer, mostly because of the way it is phrased. Same with “Am I a boy, girl, or non-binary?” Here I present you some other questions to navigate your gender questioning journey:
Do I like to be reffered to/seen as/treated as a boy/girl/non-binary?
Do I dislike being treated in other ways?
What are my feelings relating my gender assigned at birth?
What are my feelings regarding the gender I think I may be?
Is there a certain gender you lean towards more than others? (For example, it never crossed my head that i may be unaligned non-binary. I would think i was a demigirl, then bigender, then demiboy, leaning away from girlhood and closer to boyhood with time, but I never thought I could be something other than a guy)
One of the moments when I feel the most euphoria is when I see femenine guys. Masculine guys are too far away from me to relate. Does it feel better to see a guy who acts like you, a girl who acts like you, or a non-binary person who acts like you?
How do you feel when you see yourself in clothes of the gender you think you may be?
Do you not want to change your clothes back to the ones socially fitting to the gender you were assigned at birth? Do you tell yourself “just five more minutes” or something like that?
When you see yourself in the mirror with clothes of the gender you think you may be, does that look like you, or a stranger?
Does it look “strange” just because you’re not used to it, or is it so uncomfortable you want to take the clothes off?
Are you scared of this “”“”“trans phase”“”“” being over? Are you scared of going back to identifying as your gender assigned at birth?
What is the main reason why you think you may be trans? Is it related to gender roles? (Ex: liking more the clothes of the opposite gender)
What is the main reason why you think you may not be trans? Is it related to gender roles? (Ex: liking more the clothes of your sex)
Do you think you want to be certain gender because of the “Aesthetic”? (This could be either about the gender you think you may be or the gender you were assigned at birth)
Can you explain why you “want” to be certain gender? Is there a logical reason?
Would you rather get rid of your questioning by having you mind change to fit your body, or have your body change to fit your mind?
If a magic being came to you right now and offered to give you the body that socially fits the gender you think you may be, knowing that you wont regret it, what would you say?
Based on the evidence, what do you think is more likely? That you are cis or that you’re trans?
I wasn’t asked to a single dance in high school and didn’t have a serious romantic relationship until I was 22. And like, yeah that shit hurt when I was younger. I had a lot of fears that I was unlovable and that I didn’t deserve to be happy. And every time I would try to talk to anyone about it, the conversation became, “you’ll find someone”, when it should have been, “you don’t need a relationship or a date, you’re lovable & complete & beautiful on your own”.
So yeah, please normalize young people not dating, and please stop shaming them for it. There’s more to life than romance, despite what the media wants us to think.
You know something we don’t get taught often? Why bodies with uteri often have a slight pouche. You wanna know why? Because the uterus leans against the outside wall of the abdominal cavity. The uterus is literally making that little pouche, the belly that we call fat all the fucking time, and that’s why it’s so fucking hard to get a absolutely flat belly! And thank fuck for having a female anatomy professor who is old enough and feminist enough to not give a damn and cheerfully tell us all the details that a male professor might have thought unimportant. Cause fuck this society that ignores organs in order to fat-shame us.
