five years later, my body is a map of compromises

(personal art)

Hi! So this is a very personal piece. I haven’t drawn a self portrait in a good while and wasn’t really planning to but with the date I felt like I should do it. i was very hesitant to share this, but I feel that the benefits of baring my heart far outweighed my fear of being seen.

Two years ago, I claimed I got top surgery. This is only partly true.

Five years ago, in the middle of the pandemic, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

I’m not going to share a lot of details, just that it was a trip to go through as someone who identifies as transmasculine, having been diagnosed with a disease that is very gendered in a country that still doesn’t recognize transgender people as who they are.

There has been, and still is, an amount of disconnect from my body, whether that’s from my impossible aspirations for it, or that it had been poked and prodded at for so long it no longer feels like me, I couldn’t tell you. Regardless, it’s mine, and I have to live with it and shape it in the capacity I’m able to, within the limits of my health.

Every body is unique, and i try to make my self and my body in conversation with each other. Instead of having expectations, I let myself be surprised by what my body is capable of despite of all that’s happened to it.

I had always been reluctant to share this, since it’s very often that I will be recognized for the cancer first before my transness, but just like I am slowly accepting my body for what it is, I have to share this on my own terms.

As an artist I put myself in my works all the time- if you ever wondered why some of my characters have unusual scars… well hahaha. This piece was hard to work on, but in some way, I hope my message comes through, or it resonates somehow.

So hello! I’m a trans guy, and I had breast cancer. I’m still alive.

a scratchboard artwork
on the lower portion of the image, we can see the tiled rooftops of medieval houses - in the bottom left corner, a little character wearing a black coat and a floppy little hat is sitting on top of a roof
far in distance, a huge castle rises above the scene, four towers on the very top of the castle seem to be supporting a giant, gleaming obelisk
behind the castle, in the sky, a giant winged creature comprised of round turrets and rotundas emerges from the clouds

pride is next week

pride wasn't brought to you by delta air lines, microsoft, coca-cola or even the democratic party. it was brought to you by trans women throwing bricks at cops and lesbians taking care of gay men dying of AIDS during reagan.

do not forget where we came from. now more than ever.

Now Is Later | PAGES 34 - END :'D

WOO! Long canvas time! I couldn't fit in everything on just four pages lmaoo. BUT WEEW! JUST KISS! 🫠

#ghostsoap #soapghost

Simon fiddles with Johnny's (HIS) sleeves while Johnny insults his big ass once again after Simon says hes SWIMMIN' INNIT.
Soap: Aye, cuz I'm not the wideness of a Humvee bumper
Ghost: two-for-two callin me fat
Simon is doing something behind his back, what the fuck ever could it be.
Ghost: Got a problem with my "wideness"? Johnny looks a wee bit dazed but internally hes remembering getting a spoon to his noggin, and also hes a good boy he wouldn't mind that wideness on his , uh, person.
Soap: NOPE. yer a big sexy bumper I'd gladly jump in front of (smooth)

Simon ties Johnny's sleeves around himself and pulls him close with a pleased look on his face
Ghost: Tell me more how wide I am~ (hes a :^) man tell me otherwise)
Johnny's face softens and he sweetly tells Simon
Soap: Pure braw Simon, truly spectacular wideness.
Ghost: You absolute gobshite, you're just butterin' me up

Johnny's got the heart eyes motherfucker.
Soap: Enough butter for a kiss, ye reckon?

Oh sweet sweet lad. He never needed any butter. Although its a plus though. Simon will eat you up RAW like a semi frozen slice of un-toasted bread.

Simon leans in and presses his lips against Johnny's oh so gently, as the kiss deepens Johnny starts fiddling around in his hoodie confines and pops his hand out of the collar hole and starts fiddling with Simon's 50% baklava (i know its the wrong spelling but im a just shit lol)

So Simon starts to stick his cold cold hands up under johnnys hoodie.

WHOOH. COLD HANDS. Makes Johnny gasp and Simon takes the opportunity to eat his face (im a simple woman, i love a good gasp kiss tongue action). I don't know how else to describe this AHAH HA...

After a good bit of saliva swapping and lip succ, Simon holds him close and turns Johnny's face with his and starts kissing down his cheek to his neck, pulling the offensive hoodie away from his neck.

Johnny is murmuring and stammering something but is caught up in the goods to verbalize nothing like the feeling of stubble tickling his neck meats, while Simon retorts with varying degrees of "MMGHM??" cuz hes busy... Eventually he finally blurts UNTIE MY SLEEVES

The extra long page I cloudnae fit all the things I wanted and blusky only allows FOURR images so here we are lol.

Simon does a british "alright" to initiate untying the sleeves, but Johnny doesn't miss a beat to shove his finger in his nose.

Once Johnny's arms are free Simon shoves them sleeves DOWN, and NOBODY will believe me when I say it was completely subconscious, I made Johnny yell FREEEDOM while Simon holds his arms up.. (only after a while I realized oh, braveheart....)

The pair look out over the, winterscape, because, i... didn't uhm.. oh there was a background there FOR SURE. Its just a blizzard!!!!! (I almost made Simon say "whats the matta clowny bawbag you not find any skill to draw a background?" LOL)

Ghost: Bloody hell, lets get outta this shit
Soap: DO LETS.. Time for breakky aye? Thinkin about butter & toast something FIERCE (cuz he buttered up Simon, eh he...)

Johnny gives Simon a quick mack on the cheekie, because I don't care they are big shooty bang bang storng manyl mans in the military. Humans kiss each other : ) my brother says there's too much "female gaze" in my drawings but like, lmao, sorry you never been kissed bro. Oh wow we got personal down here.

SIMON then throws snow down the back of Johnny's hoodie, because he was thinking about it for like 8 panels.
Johnnys full rant is like, about how hes gonna put snow in every hole. Damn I make Johnny rant a lot lmao, hes a very thoughtful and tactful guy I hold that true, but he just lets loose for Simon because he loves him alright.

We need more 'wrinkle' mods, we need more scars, we need more beards, we need more vanilla upscales, we need more short hair/long and WILD hair 😭 sometimes I feel so creatively stifled in XIV vanilla and modded...but maybe I just gotta accept the game and community lean towards smooth aesthetics
