[lycandrophile]

sorry about the out of nowhere ask but i thought id note something minor ive seen around: a lot of the time (especially on reddit) theres a lot of positivity for specifically trans women, and very little for trans men. and if a trans man/transmasc person tries to comment on that they get ridiculed for it. but then if someone posts transmasc positivity at all, people in the comments of that post will talk about how there "isnt enough positivity for trans women" despite the fact that most of the positivity posted is for trans women. i dont know, just something weird (it could also just be because reddit is kinda really different, environment-wise, but considering theres been similar things pretty much. everywhere else. yeah)

i do think a lot of this has to do with demographics – from what i've seen, reddit tends to have more trans women than trans men, so it doesn't surprise me to see more posts that are geared toward trans women there.

tl;dr because this got super long: people are right to say that there isn't enough positivity for trans women, but there also isn't enough for trans men. the fact that so many of us are ridiculed for trying to put more out there is the real problem.

at the end of the day, there really isn't enough positivity for any trans people because most of the world either hates us or wants to forget we exist. we have our little pockets of community where we support each other and lift each other up, but until the rest of society gets on board, it'll never be enough. so even in spaces where there's more positivity for trans women than for trans men, they're absolutely right to say there isn't enough positivity for trans women! and that's why i don't inherently have a problem with spaces like that – trans joy and positivity is always a good thing and always needed, and spreading that for part of the community doesn't take away from the rest of the community, it just means there's some of us are bit closer to getting the kind of love and support they deserve than they were before, and that's a good thing! you can't make everything for everyone, but if we all work at lifting each other up, eventually it'll all balance out and we'll all be better off for it. so if you happen to find a space that's for all trans people but tends to be more geared toward trans women when it comes to positivity, instead of getting caught up in how much positivity for trans women is already there, i think the best thing to do is to add positivity for trans men! we're the ones who lift each other up, so if we see a gap in the support, we're the ones with the power to step in and fill that gap.

and i can honestly understand why trans women in those spaces might get defensive or upset if someone points out the amount of positivity for trans women as if it's a bad thing, even if what that person is actually trying to say is just that they wish there was more for trans men too. i can't really blame anyone for that defensiveness because i feel the exact same way when people point out the amount of positivity for trans men&mascs here as if it's a bad thing, even though i know a lot of them are really just expressing in an imperfect way that they wish there was more for other trans people as well. wanting to defend those sources of joy in a world that offers us so few of them is only natural.

now, all of that being said, what i absolutely DO have a problem with is when that defensiveness gets to the point of attacking trans men's efforts to add positivity for ourselves as well. it perpetuates these false ideas that 1) there's only a finite amount of trans joy that can be expressed and we have to fight over it, and 2) trans men are currently hoarding that finite resource and are obligated to give it up entirely so that other trans people have a chance at getting it. obviously, both of those statements are deeply untrue – one part of the community getting support doesn't take anything away from other trans people because we should all be aiming for more support and positivity, not just redistributing the inadequate amount we currently have to more "worthy" subjects, and it's impossible to quantify how much support each part of the community gets because that's so dependent on the individual spaces you're looking at as well as what you're counting as support. and as much as i can understand feeling protective of our spaces, when that protectiveness leads us to turn on each other and push each other out of spaces that were supposed to be for all of us, that's taking it way too far.

and i also do think there's an attitude in a lot of trans spaces (and in more general queer/feminist/leftist/activist spaces) that trans men are a more acceptable target for that kind of ridicule because we're men and people in those spaces tend to already be very settled into this idea that there's never a bad time to tell men to sit down and shut up, even when the men in question are marginalized and trying to fight against their own oppression. if someone says "ugh there's too much positivity for trans women here," that's going to be met with a lot of people (rightfully) saying "hey, what the hell, man, that's super transmisogynistic." but if the same is said about trans men, those same people have no problem saying "i know, right? men love taking everything for themselves, it's the worst."

and that kind of attitude even extends to trans men simply creating positivity in spaces that don't have as much of it, even if they don't comment at all on the other kinds of positivity that might exist in that space. especially if we dare to add specific mentions of trans men onto an existing positivity post (which isn't actually a bad thing at all! adding more good to a good post doesn't take anything away from the original good!), we're met with a chorus of "wow, why do men always have to make everything about themselves, can't women have anything?" it's a perspective that groups us in with cis men as this privileged horde that talks over everyone else and seeks to dominate every space it enters, completely ignoring the fact that the image of loud domineering men they're invoking is based on cis(het white abled) men who've spent their whole lives being told they're the most important people in every room, which is very different from trans men who were brought up being taught to make ourselves small and be of service to more important people. they forget (or simply choose to ignore) that when we're loud about our needs and experiences and even our joy, it's not because taking up space was a practice passed down to us by our manhood, it's because we had to learn to be loud when we realized that staying quiet meant making it easier for the people who hate us to dispose of us without the rest of the world even noticing our absence.

all of that to say, i absolutely do think you've hit on a real issue here, i just don't think that issue actually has to do with the prevalence of positivity for trans women. it's a lot less about who gets more or less support in any given space, and a lot more about how those spaces react when the less represented groups start making their presence known. and yeah, a lot of trans spaces have some pretty damn awful reactions to trans men who literally just want to lift each other up and feel supported by our community in return.

10 Pantone Colors of the Year, in fashion 🎨🌈

Time to update my Pantone fashion series with this year's color! Every December, I design an outfit inspired by Pantone’s Color of the Year. For Viva Magenta, I wanted to do something inspired by fireworks and celebration - especially because it’s my 10th design, which means 10 years of drawing this series!

It's wild that it's been 10 years of the series! It's somewhat nice to see my art improvement over time, but I still don't feel like I'm where I want to be at artistically :/ I will keep working at it!

hi! can I request Tom Kaulitz x male!reader who's insecure about his looks and Tom comforts him and reassures him he looks perfect??

TOM KAULITZ X MALE! READER: PERFECT

tw: insecurities, tom is too hot i want him oiled up on my lap

・you are gorgeous, readers! always remember that 💚

You knew Tom loved you for who you were, not strictly drawn to just your body. Sure, he loved to wrap his hands around your waist or run his fingertips down your chest. But he was truly drawn to you strictly from your personality, which stood out to him among others.

You were perfect in his eyes, and he always made sure to tell you every day he possibly could. The constant words of "You look perfect, baby." or "You look so handsome in that outfit!" would be said over and over, and it made you smile each and every single time.

So why couldn't you actually believe his words? Each time he complimented you- or anybody else for that matter- you always seemed to take it with a grain of salt. Whether it was on looks, smarts, thr way you dressed, you could never seem to be...content?

You said thank you to each compliment, offering a kind smile and sometimes maybe you'd even get a little flustered.

But here you were, sitting infront of the bedroom mirror and staring blanky at yourself. You took in every little feature, hoping the ones you deemed "imperfect" would go away. You knew deep down it wouldn't, couldn't work like that. It wasn't that easy. But you'd do it alot, it seemed to take up a lot of time.

Sometimes you'd cry a bit, the salty tears flooding your eyes and rolling down your cheeks that were now slightly red. You'd wipe them with your thumbs, sniffling softly. But your eyes would remain fixated on the mirror, taking in your face, body, hair, shit. Everything you could see.

You jumped as Tom grabbed onto your shoulder, a sleepy grin on his face. "Wha'cha doing, baby? It's late." He murmurs, letting out a soft yawn as he blinks wildly to stay somewhat concious. You gave him a smile, tearing your eyes from the mirror. "Sorry, I got distracted. I'll be in bed in a moment." You say to him softly, watching as he raises an eyebrow and looks into the mirror. He gently turns your chin so you look at him in the reflection.

"You're s' pretty." He mumbles softly, his voice low and quiet from his tiredness. A small frown tugs on the corner of your lips, yet you instantly correct yourself with a smile. "Thank you. You're pretty too."You tease back, watching with a small laugh as he rolls his eyes.

He frowned, noticing how your eyes were slightly tinted red. "You high?" He asks softly, watching as you chuckled and shook your head. "No, no! Not right now."

"Mmmm..." He hums, his fingertips running along your cheekbone. "You're so handsome, my baby." He whispers softly, noticing the way your eyebrow slightly raises. "You think I'm lyin'?" He asks playfully with a grin, yet it falters when you actually seem to be debating it.

"...I dunno." You mutter softly, getting up as your fingers reach for the lightstwitch, Tom's hands suddenly grabbing yours and stopping you. He turns your head back to the mirror, his chin resting on the top of your head.

"Why would I lie about that? You're perfect." He whispers, his fingers gently brushing over your cheeks. "Your eyes, your lips, your nose...sweetheart you have the prettiest face ever." He says softly, smiling at you through the mirror. "And I would never want you any other way."

His fingers wipe at your waterline when he watches tears pool, threatening to spill. "I'm sorry. I'm being stupid." You whisper, voice slightly trembling as you sniffle, shaking your head. "You're not stupid. There's no reason to be sorry," he answers, voice gentle but firm.

"You're perfect, baby, perfect. Everything about you is exactly as it should be. I have no doubt in that."

Mushy May Day 11: Papa Time

Touring takes its toll, but there's nothing a ghoul pile can't fix.

Thank you to @forlorn-crows for putting Mushy May together, and to @ghuleh-recs for making the dividers! <3

If Copia wished to know anything about touring before he had become the frontman of the Ghost Project, he wished he had known just how exhausting it was.

He rubs at his temples, slumped on his back on the couch in the front lounge of the tourbus. It rockets down an American highway, one that he can't remember where it starts or ends up. It's late, a tear-down run late, another run of Rituals upcoming. The rocking of the bus, usually soothing, is enough to shift and rattle his protesting brain.

Copia's subconscious tells him he needs to ask Aether for some healing quintessence, but then he remembers he's back at the Abbey, helping to pick up some slack in the infirmary, taking a step back from the spotlight. Aeon is a skilled guitarist, but needs some more time and teaching to get a handle on their magick.

He tries, Lucifer he tries to sleep, he knows he needs it, but the headache pounds on the inside of his skull like a kick drum. Copia huffs, slinging an arm dramatically over his mismatched eyes in a pitiful attempt to block out the light, already turned down for the night.

He's just managing to slip into a restless sleep when a tiny hand touches the sleeve of his tracksuit. Copia grumbles, blinking blearily up at his smallest ghoulette.

"Come join us, Papa?" Aurora asks, voice melodic even when she's just speaking. There's traces of Ritual paint still smeared around the corners of her mouth, the fine lines around her eyes.

"My ghoulette," Copia hums, trying to keep his voice down. "My head is not agreeing with me currently. Perhaps, eh, a rain check?"

Aurora's dainty fingers, clawed with sharp nails even in human glamour, curl around the cuff of his sleeve. "Papa, we all want you to join us. Come join the pack. Promise we'll make it better."

He cracks a smile, and she's been wrapped around his little finger from the moment he helped her stand after pulling her through the brimstone of the summoning portal, and he lets her pull him up from the couch. He groans as his back creaks. Aurora leads him back to the back lounge. As they get closer, the sound of seven purring and chuffing ghouls gets louder and louder. She slides the door open, and seven pairs of glowing eyes snap open.

Copia's eyes adjust to the darkness, watching as all of his ghouls sit up, expressions brightening at the sight of him.

"You got 'im, borealis," Cirrus says, her feather tipped tail swaying lazily where it's wrapped around Cumulus's thigh.

"Did'ya think I couldn't?" Aurora giggles as she leads Copia to the ghoul pile, snuggling up in between Swiss and Dew, who nuzzle up to her. Cirrus reaches over and ruffles her bubblegum pink bangs.

"Never doubted you for a second."

Copia hesitates, eyes darting within the mass of limbs and tails, trying to figure out where he'll fit in best. You've been in ghoul piles before, his mind oh so helpfully provides. Just get in there-

Before he can spiral any more, two big hands shoot out of the pile and wrap around his wrists. Mountain and Rain, in sync, pull him gently into the pile with an oof.

"Evenin', Papa," Mountain purrs sleepily, helping him arrange himself comfortably in the pile.

"How long were you waiting for me?" Copia asks, hoping he hadn't kept his ghouls up any later then they'd wanted.

"Not really that long," Rain shrugs, nuzzling up to Copia's side, skin cool against his warm, human body.

"Just didn't feel right without you," Swiss says, glowing gold eyes blinking shut in the darkness. "Me, Bug, and Rory all could feel it, your mind racing. You need some juice, Pop?"

Copia hums, headache just barely beginning to subside, knowing how safe he is, in the middle of his pack of loyal hellbeasts, ones he trusts and loves. "Eh. It would not hurt, my ghoul."

There's a flash of teeth in the darkness, and Copia fights the animal impulse of fear at the sight before Swiss reaches over, touching his temple. There's a shock of something tingly rocking through his nerves. The ache and pressure eases, and he sighs in genuine relief.

"Grazie," he says, sinking further into the pile of limbs and tails and bodies. Something deep inside of him relaxes, finally at ease.

He rests his head on Mountain's chest, listening to the deep rumble of the earth ghoul's purr. Aeon shifts in the pile, resting their head on the soft pudge of his stomach, chuffing happily and wrapping their arms and tail around him. Copia reaches down, playing absentmindedly with their white forelock, and the chuffing gets louder. Not overly so, definitely soothing. The warmth and contact and the bone-deep, draining exhaustion of touring all creeping up on him.

"Sleep, Papa," Cumulus hums, voice trilling softly. "We'll be here in the morning."

He smiles, reaching to pat her arm fondly before he falls into a much-needed, restful sleep.

took some creative liberties with this lol but i love them 💗

technically they both knew each other since 2000, but there was no records i could find on how they looked at that age 😭😭

this is the oldest photo i could find of mats, at 17 and 20 (so he didn’t have his long hair at 17, sue me)

you can obviously see which one was more referenced but leave me be!!

thomas was a little more painful to find but thankfully he looks pretty similar lmao but i mostly looked at snapshots from this video and these photos

he looks so cute :,)

this is half for future reference and half for my own entertainment 😭 i feel like i’m going to draw these old men more now bc this was too fun!!
