Echoes Prelude 10 I'm gonna swap to single pages a bit early since I can get them done in a day. Hopefully this makes it easier to get out pages more frequently.

Happy Imbolc! I know it was actually yesterday, but I spent all day cleaning. I want to get more into the Wiccan holidays since it's technically the ideology I chose. Well most of it anyway.

Not really sure what to say for this one.  We all know what’s happening in America right now and it’s not even a “put your ear to the ground to hear what’s coming” type of situation, there have been executive orders that specifically target transgender people.

The writing isn’t on the wall, it’s on government documents.

The phone call described in this strip happened a few months ago, before I came out publicly.  As you can imagine, it only made me more fearful of coming out.  If this person who I love and trust so much that they were one of the first folks I came out to over five years ago didn’t understand why what’s happening is so terrifying, why this bigotry needs to be completely shut down immediately, how could the bigots themselves understand?

Part of my position was that there were television ads being run showing transgender folks as these disgusting people, something less than human that are deserving of ridicule and are a drain on the country’s resources and a danger to children.

According to them, my terror of seeing me be advertised as that way was just me being alarmist, that the people that I’m afraid of aren’t going to do anything and that there shouldn’t be any fear of danger.

We’re two weeks in, and already there’s legal action being taken to strip me and people like me of not just their rights, but their humanity.

It’s hard.  On one hand, I do understand their position that I should try to be a source of education, to try to bridge the gap to these people.  I agree not in the sense that it should be my responsibility, but in that it feels like the only practical thing I can do.

On the other hand, what can I possibly do in the face of so much hatred?

I have family members who’ve voted for this.  People who might say they have love in their hearts but voted to label certain people as sub-human. 

I don’t know how they can reconcile that.

I don’t know how I can reconcile with them.  I’m not just disappointed, I’m genuinely frightened.  I don’t want to sound like the world is crashing down around us, but in a way it really is.  Many of the folks who’ve voted this way don’t even realize what they were doing, the rest of them knew and didn’t care.

I don’t know which is worse.

Reblogging since it feels appropriate for how things are going right now.

Fashions I know I tend to put my character in the same outfit so I thought Id do a bit of a fashion meme. I also threw in some old outfits just for the shits.

Some really old and slightly less old art of Renn and Ryn thought y'all might like.

Howdy dead eyed army 💜

We have a little issue 😅 my tablet that I do most of my comics on is coming to the end of its life both physically and on the software side, it's getting so bad that the battery won't even last one 2 hours session when it used to last days!

I'm going to be saving up to replace it with a new one that works with my PC rather than IOS!

So I'm gonna do a lil thing

Here is my Kofi! The first 10 people who donate anything above £30 to my Kofi, I will reach out to and offer one of 3 options for some sort of Dead Eyed Fae content as a thank you! 💜 And please don't donate anything if you can't afford it!

Echoes Prelude 3-9

Phew! So apparently making 7 pages of comic takes a bit to do. That said I want to get the prelude done before I go back to work so I can't slow the pace yet. After the prelude though I might slow down to single or double page drops.

Drawing of Kat, who I kind of asked to be my semi-official proofreader of comics before I post them since I ROUTINELY spell stuff wrong.

You pulled the Musician ! Get ready for some noise ! A little participation to the Trans Trading Card Collection trend started by @unholytgirl & @sadcoldcoffee !

[rynwayfarer]

When I started my transition and began to come out to a few more folks than the tiny few that knew about me, there was something I kept saying as a part of my spiel…

“This is what I am, not who I am.”

I think I believed it fully at the time.

But then the interaction in the comic above occurred this past summer and completely changed my mind.  Sure, being trans is something that I just am, but it’s also something that can be part of who I am as well. 

Seeing that kid completely light up the way they did sparked in me a desire that I really didn’t think I’d ever have.  Suddenly, that kid made me want to be visible.

Like the comic says, I wasn’t ready to be publicly out so I felt safer lying about myself at the time, but I truly hope that the next time I’m up there they have the opportunity to see me…

…a transgender person who’s included and having fun, just like we all should be.

@logicer16 thank you for your donation to @liddimothie. You had requested a pink slime, with a bow, located someplace outside. I hope your enjoy your newly adopted creature.

She is quite large, but that just means there is more of her to love! She can also be convinced to lay waste to your enemies should the need arise.

Enjoy!

Two faces being part of an indivisible being: You pulled The Moon

You've drawn the explorer!

Leaving what's known, whether by choice or by being driven out, you set your eyes on someplace else. Perhaps the place you find may be your new home, or one day you might return to claim the life that should have been yours.

A Card in the Trans Girl Trading Card Collection, that was started by @unholytgirl and @sadcoldcoffee!

I tend to use heroforge for character design, so here I am with a map and a dream. In setting out to create this, I was really split on this idea or one that I called "the sisterhood", which would have a bit about shared bonds and struggles and the fact that I've got some type of DID, but in the end this one was simpler (and Aaliyah didn't care about this little project) so it's what I went with.

You pulled The shifter!

A card in the Trans Girl Trading Card Collection!

Wanted to draw something for this trend started by @sadcoldcoffee and @unholytgirl. So, I present the shifter. Pretty self explanatory as I am a shapeshifting kitsune.
