(idk what im doing i hate rendering)
random musings: whenever i draw 2 characters with different color palettes i get so confused abt what to do with the background and i think it's still kind of janky but can't be bothered sorryy. Clawdeen didn't change that much but Draculaura definitely did. I like the bat eyeliner from the sketch but went with more of a puppyliner, which i also like. also open mouths and lips are hard.
having one of those executive function days where everything is too many steps
heyyy guys id like to get commissioned
also heres my roxane wolf fanart that i havent posted anywhere yet
Kinda fucked up and nasty how vampires drink blood, imo. Like. Pepsi costs a dollar seventy five
Okay. I have a semi serious comment. On they/them pronouns & assuming pronouns.
So we as people tend to use they/them if weâre certain we donât know someoneâs gender.
Yâknow. The telemarketer, the person who left their keys at work, the person who forgot their coat at school, the person who left a package at your door...
& we do it naturally. ÂżYea?
You (/general) donât find it âconfusingâ to use they/them for people youâve never met.
But when you meet someone in person...
You look at their hair, their face, their clothes, & go âyou MUST be a boy & use he/himâ or âyou MUST be a girl and use she/herâ (/srs).
How bold of you. (/snark)
How bold of you to assume you know that person already.
How bold of you to forget tomboys (masculine women) & femboys (feminine men) exist among the cis population.
How bold of you to forget that even you have had longer âfeminineâ hair or looked âfeminineâ when you shaved your face.
How bold of you to forget that even you used to have short hair & used to hate dresses/skirts/blouses.
ÂżWasnât it still uncomfortable when someone called you âÂżmaâam?â/âmissâ or âÂżsir?â & got it wrong?
How bold of you to assume based on YOUR idea of what a man should/has to look like that they were a man.
How bold of you to assume based on YOUR idea of what a woman should look like that they were a woman.
You were forced into a box of man/woman growing up. I know.
But you donât have to fit the box either. Itâs okay if they put the wrong label on your box.
You cannot force those who donât fit the box to fit. You cannot force them to become small & Perfectâą.
There are masculine people who use she/her or they/them.
There are feminine people who use he/him or they/them.
((Usually people joke/comment that feminine men âhave a baby faceâ or masc women âlook masculineâ. It happens even among cis populations.))
So how bold of you.
You assume to know them already. To know their gender at a glance.
If even cis people can be wrongly identified, Âżwhy do you still assume youâd know the right pronouns for trans people?
This is why we ask.
This is why we ask.
Even if you are cis, I may not be able to tell for sure because presentation does not define identity.
Presentation does NOT define identity.
Just because you wear a business suit doesnât make you employed/a businessperson.
Just because you donât wear a wedding ring, doesnât mean you arenât actually married.
Just because you have short hair doesnât mean youâre a man (or a lesbian - straight/other LGBT women can have short hair too)
& just because you have long hair doesnât mean youâre a woman (see goth men, emo men, & any other community with long hair).
Just because you wear a name tag doesnât mean youâre actually employed (or on the job).
Just because you paint your nails or your face doesnât mean youâre a woman (plenty of men do it too)
So why do you assume to know? (/rhetorical)
I know you may be scared to question these things.
Itâs okay to be scared. Itâs not okay to try & control other peopleâs identities because youâre afraid to question your own.
You are allowed to question these things.
If you feel like you need permission, I am giving you permission.
Question & explore your gender identity.
Change your gender presentation.
Wear a dress/tux. Wear a chest binder (if you safely can). Wear makeup. Wear a cloak/cape. Wear Victorian clothes or a corsette. Explore.
Use different pronouns wherever you safely canâwith new friends, new coworkers, online if you feel safe
& explore names wherever you safely canâ a Starbucks you rarely go to, a store you rarely shop at, anywhere that asks for a name for your order.
Explore your identity. Youâre allowed to change & youâre allowed to uncover parts of your child self or younger self you hid long ago.
Break the binaries. Expore nonbinary identities & experiences.
You do not have to stay stuck.
Whether youâre 13 or 65 or 100+ or whatever, it is never too late to rediscover yourself.
& Âżif the people around you (family, friends) refuse to accept your true self, your newly affirmed identity?
Find new ones. Find people who will accept you. Theyâre out there; your people may still be out there.
It is okay to leave a marriage, to outgrow family members, to leave behind people who deny your gender, your sexuality, your entire identity. If no one else will give you permission, I am giving you permission.
& if no one else accepts you, I do. I may not be able to be your crutch, but I see your true self & embrace all that you are.
You ARE nonbinary, you ARE trans, you ARE whoever you discover yourself to be. Free yourself to accept & grow into yourself.
It can be scary to question these things society has tried to/has embedded in everything.
But youâre allowed.
Find a safe place to explore & rediscover. You still have time.
Both for those who are too afraid to question & still assume at a glance, & for those who are starting to wonder, I see you & you are allowed to start a new journey.
From a nonbinary demiboy & a system of many, we accept you & good luck. (/genuine) đ
