I was thinking of old western posters and rodeo clowns when I made this.

Drawing my celebrity robot OC Morgan again! Compared to other OCs of mine, he has been very popular with my followers and friends. I'm sure he loves the attention.

Illustration for my super creative friend @/alphaori on Tumblr. They're making a fun fishing minigame for TTRPGs, and I got to make art for it!

Hector is an unserious psychology student interning at a sketchy mental health company that works to remove nightmares from people's dreams by going inside the dreams themselves, he hates his job and kind of wants to quit his degree.

Something I had to painfully learn that I would like to pass on to you if you have judgments is that you almost always know a lot more queer people than you think you do, so please be open to learning about how queer people feel before you hurt someone you love.

It took me so long to think about it, I felt very bad because when I was younger I had not been kind to kids who had similar feelings that I did not understand at the time (if you’re reading this, I’m sorry!). It was very embarrassing to have that insight and I was worried that I would disappoint my family and God and somehow betray womankind.
Karma is real because now I look in the mirror and realize I have become the ultimate nonbinary stereotype.

Consider this an official coming-out post since I have avoided discussing it openly before! I totally chickened out posting this during Pride Month.
It would have been so much longer, but I really tried to cut it down.

#lgbt #lgbtq+ #nonbinary #comingout #enby

I identify as agender/nonbinary now with they/them pronouns Happy International Non-Binary People's Day, I wanna talk about it! (and demisexual but honestly that's a whole other conversation I'll explore another time)

While agender can be interpreted in different ways depending on the person, it means to me that under the umbrella of nonbinary (outside the gender binary) I feel genderless. After seeing the president of the United States go up on a stage live and say it will be a policy of the US to only have two genders I realized I couldn't bring myself to wait four more years for the next president to tell anyone and just came out to everyone a couple days afterward.

Most of my exposure to trans people growing up were caricatures online showing them as ugly, loud, and mean people who were confusing and I didn't want to see myself in. Even in positive depictions of trans people, it was usually in the context of changing yourself within the gender binary and described as “in the wrong body” or “I had always known and liked boys/girls things better,” which are valid experiences but not ones I could relate to at all. Especially since I was very much considered a "girly girl" by most people around me growing up.

I had never consciously thought about it before, but my feelings were hiding behind a huge build-up, a giant dam in the back of my head. Once it broke it was all I could think about. For multiple years after this, I did increasingly embarrassing things to "make sure" I was cis including asking every single person I knew if they had thought about being the other gender and taking multiple "am I trans" quizzes online.
My wonderful friends were too supportive and told me that only I could decide if I was cis or not and that no one could tell me who or what I was. Which was amazing but drove me crazy! Ironically now that I've accepted it it doesn't haunt my thoughts constantly anymore and I'm at peace.

Happy Make a Terrible Comic Day today! I decided to make a comic about my sweet cat Misty. Her favorite anime really is Mob Psycho 100, she's very attentive to it.

I wasn't going to participate in the OC Pinup Challenge I had seen around lately until I remembered I had Morgan!

He's a robot celebrity who hates performing for people and wants to try to commit to world domination instead. I am so normal about him!!

I made a new background for posting, but this sleepy Garfield ended up on @garfieldzine.bsky.social's end doodle page!

I made a quick illustration to test out my new digital risograph brushes from Retro Supply, I love them so much so far! I was trying to capture an old poster style in this.
