It’s so odd to me that some people are like “you can love whoever you want, but I draw the line at changing your gender” as if sexuality and gender aren’t linked at all.
Like, I know a trans girl that was gay when she was a boy, but then she transitioned and found that she began to like women, and now exclusively loves women. I know a guy that thought he was bi when he identified as non-binary, then fully transitioned and discovered that he’s actually aromantic. I myself didn’t realize I was ace until I started questioning my gender, because I couldn’t differentiate between what people told me a crush would feel like, and gender envy.
i've always wanted to try out this trend! i didnt think i drew him that different. i was wrong. very wrong.
hes so baby girl in my style what the fuck. oh i know, i was just drawing what gege meant to draw. dw, i got his telepathic brainwaves 👍
[time lapse + my headcanons for Noritoshi's appearance under the cut]
some headcanons i have while drawing him are semi obvious while others are bc i like it ahehahhaheha
cupid's bow lips!
this was semi inspired by Mizuki Umetsu, the actor for Noritoshi in the jjk stage play! hes so. pretty. perfect guy for the role imo! i was captivated therefore my views changed.
longer hair!
the thought that his bangs(? are the same length, or longer, as the rest of his hair is nice.. it also makes his inevitable haircut much more refreshing! i also just like long hair and its a fucking waste not to do whatever the i want.
thicker brows and visible eyelashes!
i naturally draw thicker eyebrows because it looks pretty, but the eyelashes is so fucking canon bro. dont even fight me on this, you'll lose. i read a fic about Noritoshi where it said he took good care of himself and his appearance inspired jealousy. that fucked me up man, so now i draw him as beautiful as i can.
monolids!
I've looked through the manga and i think its highly implied that Noritoshi has monolids? yk those lines in between the eye and eyebrow, he doesnt have them in the manga. i thought it was because of the expressions he had, but no. the others have them, except geto! so geto also having monolids is so fr in my head. i like that feature abt him.
loose hairs!
the hairs that i draw on his face. they make him look so cute and a bit more relaxed. he's not trying to be perfect nor have a single strand out of place. he's just a bit more at ease... though if there's something important he has to go through, he sharpens up. becomes.. stiffer?
I UNINTENTIONALLY MADE HIS CHEST LOOK A BIT BIGGER IN MY STYLE AND I WANT TO APOLOGIZE, BUT I'D BE A LIAR.
DOES THIS COUNT AS A HEADCANON??? I JUST THINK... SINCE. YK. HES AN ARCHER. AND DOES TRAINING. AND COMBAT. AND DOES ALL THOSE HIGH JUMPS... HIS CHEST. ITD BE A BIT BIGGER FOR HIS STATURE.. omfg. that'd imply that his legs are fucking insane. and his arms too, since he has to pull back all those arrows so quickly.. oh my fuck. this. this is a revelation. what are you hiding under those robes noritoshi...???? one day.. one day we'll see...
oh my fucking god i forgot that i wrote shit while drawing. please ignore my fucking stupid writings AND THE STUPID ASS THING IN THE MIDDLE I FORGOT ABT WHILE DRAWING..
I totally get gendered petnames like dude, sis, bro, and whatever else, and I get why some people might be confused as to why some trans people might take issue with a petname you might think is neutral. However, I do want people to remember that trans people often have different relationships with those petnames because they're gendered, and they might be uncomfortable with those connotations. A trans woman who doesn't want you to call her "dude" is probably not doing it to anger or accuse you of anything, but she might just have a negative relationship with that word.
I get that it can be hard to change habits, but it is worth it to include trans people. If a trans person in your life asks you not to use certain words, I promise they aren't trying to fuck you over or make you feel like you're under attack. They are just expressing a boundary - one that cis people also express.
It’s funny how much handwringing there is in even queer spaces over how HARD it is to write characters as aromantic, esp in fantasy or period piece settings where “they don’t have that term so aro characters cant exist!!”, when in 1891 we got:
It was not that [Holmes] felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise but admirably balanced mind.
"Kingdom Hearts is so complicated" "Nomura made it up as he went along" "KH makes no sense" Have you considered that Riku is 15 and autistic and gay bc if you do I think itll change things
My issues are on full swing tonight I am going thru the motions so can I just say how much this scene BREAKS MY HEARTTTT. I am going to put my head through a wall.
LIKE. Literally all he wants is for his stupid fucking dad to hear him out to have his back to take him seriously. All he wants is his approval. You can even see him like. Hesitate a bit before asking
Like he had to THINK about it. I am so. So certain he knew what the answer was going to be and he still went for it because he NEEDED IT. Like you don’t understand.
AND WATCHING HIS EXPRESSION FALL.
Like. You can literally SEE YOU CAN *SEE* how HARD “you’re bringing your brother down with you” HIT HIM YOU CAN SEE IT. YOU CAN FUCKING SEE IT. He internalized that shit I can TELL. And that quiet little ‘thanks for your support’ before he goes to his room CRYING SCREAMING THROWING UP CLAWING AT MY SKIN I AM SICKKKKKK I am sick. Poor baby :(
there’s a norwegian saying that goes “det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlig klær” which basically translates to “there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing”, and we take that shit serious cause why is there literally a hurricane coming in tonight and they’re still not closing my school for one day. ONE SINGLE DAY
