if you have internalized guilt about hoarding, using neopronouns, xenogenders, microlabels as a whole, or for just being queer:

i love you.

i love you with all my heart; whether you're in an / were raised in an unsupportive environment, whether your friends wouldn't be supportive, whether you simply feel like a faker for identifying the way you do: i love you.

you're cared about. there will be people who accept you, and love you, and care about you — not in spite of your identity — no matter how you identify. you are not dirty, you are not a faker, you are not hurting the community for identifying the way you do.

you use a select few microlabels because those describe your identity well enough? that's great! you use an umbrella label because you don't feel the need for a hyperspecific one? awesome, i do too depending on the part of my identity! you hoard tons & tons of labels because your identity is so vast and / or complicated it can't be described in one or two? i have an entire google docs hoard!

i get sappy and emotional at this topic.

because, when i first started identifying with liomogai terms, hoarding labels & npts: my friend group at the time hated it. they made fun of me behind my back, deadnamed, mispronouned & misgendered me, and refused to tell me why they were acting like this.

i realized i didn't deserve to be treated that way — no matter how much i cared about those people, or how much they claimed to care about me. and, even if i got out of those friendships, i still deal with the internalized guilt today.

the guilt that maybe i am faking. or that i'm doing something wrong — no matter how happy microlabels make me, or how comfortable i feel in my identity, or how much fun i'm having in the community. that i'm inherently wrong for being queer in the 'wrong' way.

i hoarded unapologetically for the first time in months last night. i had fun.

so, what i'm trying to say is: you're going to be okay, because you are loved & there is nothing wrong with you for identifying the way you do. being queer is amazing & beautiful & filled with such vast experiences that i'm a firm believer in there is no wrong way to be queer. i love you, and everything's going to be okay.

aromanticism will win. this is both a threat and a joyous and hopeful promise

AROMANTICISM WILL WIN. YOU CANNOT FIGHT IT. THIS FUTURE IS BOTH BEAUTIFUL AND INESCAPABLE

I have the controversial opinion that maybe, just maybe we stop wanting to go after people with pitchforks for getting characters wrong and not reading the comics inviting them to easy and accessible ways of and making our own content with comic accurate representation

people might feel less anxious about starting comics and misinformation won't spread as easily

me at any given moment: have you heard about medical illustration. Do you know about medical illustration. do you guys know that medical illustration is a thing you can study and do. are you in a troy bolton-esque situation where you dont know if you want to do art or science because if you are then you COULD try medical illustration. just a thought. by the way

LITERALLY been thinking about Mad At Nothing being a song about Pete all week. like on the clock at work feeling like tearing my hair out about it thank you for saying it out loud akfjakfnskgnw

literally there isn't even anything to decode or break down its just like... girl... you said THAT.... and put it on your debut solo LP........ OK

firstly "when you're looking for forgiveness / you can take it out on me" IS CRAZY especially thinking about some of pete's lyrics towards folie era- "to you" and wacd lyrics come to mind- how they've both talked about their friendship getting strained leading up to the hiatus and how pete has talked about how he "knew the band was falling apart, but wrote about it anyway" like kindof hurtling towards a brick wall in terms of their actual friendship/dynamic and trying to find a way to hold it together for as long as he could, how some of it manifested in his words... ALSO: right now you're just sour / but that can sweeten with time / but I'm not bluffing: / you should've been a friend of mine is such a fucked up last verse... can i perhaps throw in a half doomed / semi sweet parallel? i don't know how people interpret the "you shouldve been a friend of mine" but to me it's pretty literal- both of them have talked about how they weren't that great towards each other towards the hiatus and how they would get into fights- it's just that- you should have been my friend, instead of placing all these hopes and expectations on me...

[Image description: a digital drawing of Elia, a blue-skinned vampire with pulled-back black hair from the comic Les Normaux. He's wearing black high-waisted pants, a sleeveless white turtleneck and frilly, wide green sleeves. There are red flowers in his hair, as well as in his hand and at his knees. The beige background is bordered with a red line. End description.]

I was planning to do just a little sketch of Elia because he's my fave (long-haired man, silly, blue), but I lose all sense of control and time when drawing beautiful men (*cough* terminally bisexual) so I ended up with a completed piece! Thank you to @alababwa and @theartofknightjj for creating him so that I may roll him around in my head indefinitely <3

I keep meaning to come on here and get caught up with stuff and go on a reblog spree but I keep falling into art holes instead. One of the more productive holes to fall into sure, but I know I'm missing soooo much good stuff on here while I get hung up on drawing one thing or another like crazy. Will I ever figure out how to balance my time between multiple things? Remains to be seen.

Anyway I'm going to bed shortly but I have to tell you I just found out that one hat Full wears that looks like a mushroom and/or a footstool is apparently catnip to my brain to draw. I'm obsessed. I'm a little half asleep also and that might be influencing my feelings on the matter but this may be the funnest fanart has felt to me in years. I'm ascending.
