Please someone take my legs!!!

#the proverbial tide is coming in #I had a decent respite of a few weeks there #but it is getting bad again 💀 #we'll see how bad this wave is

my cartooning advice: -your first foray into graphic storytelling should not be that 900 page epic youve been working on since you were 12 -use whatever crappy art software you have -dont make every panel an illustration -cut more corners -no, more than that -no, more than that -a badly made comic will eventually become good but a never-made comic will never become good

#just reblogging as a reminder to myself!!!

Not sure if anyone can quite relate to this, but it is so weird trying to sim now that I live with my partner. Even though they are supportive, I just feel like I literally cannot sim while they are in the house. Since they've been fully remote for awhile, it has meant that I haven't felt like I could sim for months which has made my BID so much worse and harder to deal with 😬

#I basically only feel like I can sim if they literally leave the house for more than an hour running an errand #otherwise I just suffer in silence and try to get on with my day #🤷‍♀️ #also I am working on drawing and getting comics up again #I really want to!!!! I just have a weird mental block right now

Comic on how my BID manifested as a child, and my lack of awareness of what BID even was.

Hey due to a small rabbit hole I fell down I wanna speak some thoughts.

People with BIID are so fucking valid. I don't have it but like - I want those folks with it to know I support whatever they choose to do.

There's something so odd about BIID discourse and treatments and such. I've only scratched the surface so I can't have much of an opinion but-

If you seek out psychiatric treatments and ways to relieve the symptoms without surgery, I support you. If you are someone who has tried all they can and end up still needing surgeries to feel comfortable, I support you. If you can't do anything about your BIID yet, I hope you're able to find treatments/things to aid you.

And as someone who may be trans and has been looking into bodily autonomy discourse years due to debates - bodily autonomy should be granted to everyone. Even if the decisions make you cringe or you can't understand. Even if they don't make sense.

BIID itself is a disability and disorder. And if we're striving for a world that is accepting of disabilities, we need a world that will openly discuss and help those with BIID.

And to any people who are trans with BIID - I hope you find people who take you seriously and will help you find a suitable way to maintain your meatsuit.

Okay. That's all.

Have not had any time to draw, though I have a sketch of a comic, so maybe I can get it out this week??? Who knows! I hope I do

Just a heads up, but I have to take a couple week hiatus because work has gotten extremely busy and I don't have the time to draw comics for a bit :(

But I'll be sure to return to this!

#I miss drawing :( #work is just so busy and draining #I love my job but I am really playing catch up right now #keyboard legs update

Some days are really like that...

But other days are better.

This comic is on a term that I actually really hate! I have never seen another person with BID use the term to describe themselves, and basically never see it outside of the literature review sections of articles after 2000.

Coined in 1977 by one of my least favorite sexologists (and one mired in controversy to the point where I will not be tagging his name), but an important step in at least describing BID as its own thing. Surprisingly, the two men are written about with sympathy and taken seriously, even if their entire experiences were framed around Freudian psychodynamics (is the residual limb a penis??? the authors thought so!)

*I can generally provide copies of scholarly materials referenced in comics, on request, by the way!

#body integrity dysphoria #biid #xenomelia #bid #comics #Keyboard legs #Lavender art #description in alt text #History of BID comics #my most text-heavy comic yet #notice that I'm not even tagging the term -_- #can't wait to do the other terms that I like more #also yes Freudian shit suffused psychology and sexology well into the 70s and 80s!

[keyboardlegs]

can biid be the next mental illness we spread awareness and acceptance for? im tired of going through the tag and only seeing fetish shit

#trying with this comic at least

Having body integrity dysphoria is like *walks past prosthetic shop* *yearns*
