#but that too is a learning experience!

[bhaalble]

Like in general I just need it beamed into the minds of everyone posting in the Astarion tag: not all sexual trauma manifests in not wanting to have sex forever. Not all sexual trauma manifests in only wanting soft loving sex! And it is not actually that strange for a guy who has been routinely forced into submissive positions against his will to prefer to be dominant in sexual encounters he has control over! You have to actually listen to this man not talk past him!

#he doesnt always know how to set his own boundaries #but heres the thing #having bad sex is not actually the end of the world #sometimes you push yourself into something youre not ready for or dont actually want #and it sucks #but that too is a learning experience! #part of having agency over your own body is being able to make mistakes! #please stop acting like youre the only one who knows whats best for him!

how do transmascs not want to kill themselves all the time honestly

#i experience transphobia and hardship in my daily life #and then i go home and go on my computer and learn that i dont experience any of that actually #im just pretending. and i shouldnt talk about it because im just a fake trans #who wishes his experiences could even measure up to a crumb of what real trans people (women) have to go through #ok cool. #testosterone is a controlled substance did you know that. my state is actively making it harder for people my age to access hrt #but i guess since im transmasc i dont actually have to worry about any of that! im fine! #i didnt have a 3 month time limit before it would be illegal for me to access hrt! im transmasc im too privileged to worry about that! #transphobia #transandrophobia

oh my god i forgot to post my absolute favorite strip from gay comix (issue #2, 1981)

#this collection is full of so many hilarious vignettes #between the fictional and biographical they range from hilarious to saddening but theyre all candid looks at #lgbt life in the 60s 70s and 80s #id recommend it if you're interested in older underground work #edit: for ppl who notice the opening blurb i will say this: #1. Many artists in the underground comix scene (yes the lgbt ones too) delighted in being overly provocative for the sake of it #hence the cringeworthy 'political unity is not the goal' line #2. i worried abt this too when i started going thru the issues but there are quite a few strips and comics focusing on the trans experience #that said. there are unfortunately not a lot of transgender artists involved in this collection #3. given the preceding two points i think its fair to say that a good chunk of the strips in gay comix just. Suck #but like they actually said it's important that we're capable of recognizing that a full 40 years down the line #so we can actually learn something from the life experiences the mistakes and even the lack of perspective tht sm of these artists displayed #nocturnal writings

of all the good reasons to have an ace headcanon for him, why would you land on this

#not maintagging this #and I wish I could say this was a singular instance #but sadly it isn't #people can be uninterested in sex without being reduced to children or having their intelligence insulted #not even mentioning that a-spectrum experience is so varied in general #the two sides of terrible asexual generalisation: unfeeling robots and children #if you say someone is too dumb or emotionally immature to understand sex #you imply that if they just grew up a little or learned a bit more they would change their mind #ace people get that kind of patronising enough we don't need the call to come from inside the house as well

I fuckin’ love meshed together taxidermy like this.

Kinda wish I did something like this with the first deer mount I got from my first buck kill. Woulda been waaay cooler.

#I especially love the first one #so cool #imagine bagging a deer and coyote and just goin to a taxidermist and be like #‘i wanna combine these two into one mount :)’ #idk as a taxidermist i’d see that as a fun challenge #I considered and still wanna be a taxidermist #i just really wish i had someone to teach me it vs learning from youtube or something #i wanna learn more than just step by step #wanna get that experience and life stories too y’know? #also i dunno if i should put any like content warning tags so lemme know if i should tag it anything specific #so that the people who don’t wanna see this stuff can avoid it in the future #taxidermy #taxidermy deer #deer taxidermy #deer mount #gator bellows

Chuuya who doesn’t let himself want things because he has to put everyone and everything else first, who feels like his own wants shouldn’t matter because he has power so he needs to be responsible and prioritize those weaker than him.

Dazai who doesn’t let himself want anything because the moment he gains it he will lose it, who can’t handle opening himself up to that kind of pain and vulnerability because he’s been taught that that is a weakness.

Both Dazai and Chuuya whose experiences tell them that the moment they want, everything begins to go wrong and they’ll lose the things they care about.

The absolute biggest thing I've learned as a trans guy: there is nothing more masculine and manly than not caring about looking or acting masculine or manly. Growing your masculinity or manhood takes time and care - you have no obligation to let the world water your garden when you can do that just fine (and you can, even if it doesn't feel like you can!)

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #nonbinary #trans advice #got a stereotypically 'feminine/woman' piercing and. i feel like a man *inverted shania twain riff from man! i feel like a woman* #nothing affirms my manhood more than not caring about the genuinely toxic imaginings that the world has about manhood and men like me 👍 #yes it can be a struggle ESPECIALLY if you're somebody who actively has to defend your masculinity/manhood... #...it's hard for me too sometimes. i had to not only build my manhood but jealously defend it from the 'phobes... #...but i am all the better for it because this is MINE. i have never truly owned something in this way... #...i don't own other people nor my cats nor even my material possessions - not in the way i own my manhood... #...i own it like a tiger owns his territory and i defend it similarly... #...i do not WANT to own my loved ones or possessions the same as i own my manhood and masculinity. this is special to me #my manhood was *made* for me to be owned anyway. i feel that applies to every trans person who hasn't felt able to own themselves #this is in the same vein as learning to cast aside the cissexist views of bodies&experiences that can make dysphoria worae

Trying my hand again at some digital art once again cuz I really wanted to draw Gem with her season 10 aesthetic :) I’m really excited to do some watercolor pieces of her base too!

Here’s a version with no fish:

#hermitcraft #hermitcraft season 10 #geminitay #my art #this piece is also dedicated in part to my sibling who I managed to get hooked on gem’s videos :3 #I want to play around with gem’s design at some point too it’s on my very long list of things to paint #I think her aesthetic this season will be a good challenge for me with dull colors and learning to paint buildings and water #also ma look at me doing digital art! I’m slowly getting more used to it and finding a process and style similar to my traditional one #this fish seem like a very psychedelic thing so I also want to experiment with that and I would love to do an animation with them
