Slight expansion from this post as I chew on it further
#my art#stanford pines#stanley pines#trans headcanon#gravity falls#it mentions on stanford's little tidbit that he does DIY HRT but honestly#i dont doubt the concept of him getting a proper prescription for T once hes in gravity falls#more money and whatnot#but once he fucks off through the portal i feel like stan would jump on the T prescription like a vulture#“easy and consistent access to HRT? sign me up!”#he didnt even have to have a therapist sign off (VERY thankful. for many reasons)#of course this is all IF ford would bother with such things#its very likely that once he has a solid recipe for how to do it himself that he just like#made a lifetime supply and used that#and didnt bother with the doctors

"Oh no, someone's attracted to the aesthetics of my -punk movement but doesn't know the praxis and history behind it like I do--"
OK. Tell them. Make it a teaching moment. Everyone who's in your movement learned the background from somewhere at some point, maybe this is that point for that person. Give them a jumping off point that they can dive into later.
"Oh but I shouldn't be responsible for teaching baby -punks about the history and the how-tos and--"
OK. Then don't tell them. You don't have to be responsible for teaching people with a budding interest in your group the ins and outs and how-tos. That's fair and valid! It can be a lot of work. Someone else will handle it
"But I'm annoyed that they would try to claim to be part of/be interested in my community without knowing all the details that I know after being in it for months/years/decades, they're dumb, they're posers, they're--"
OK. Then don't engage with them, if it's that bad. Maybe someone else will come around and tell them the history, maybe they'll pick it up on their own, maybe they'll just enjoy the fashion elements for awhile.
"But they shouldn't claim to be part of the -punk community if they don't know the--"
I feel like we have a few options here. People can either talk to them, share the history, share the values, share the praxis. Or they can just chase off anyone who even thinks about dipping a toe in their community, and then wonder why it's dying off later down the line.
I dunno, maybe I'm too naive and patient or whatever. But if people are entering your -punk spaces without knowing The Rundown of what you feel they need to know, maybe being nice about it and informing people instead of immediately assuming stupidity and malicious intent could help you make a new friend. Even the loudest voices in a space had to learn from somewhere, and not everyone has the luxury of being in the space as the History was Happening--whether it's an age thing or a not being aware of the space thing. Or maybe I just don't see what the big deal is behind people hating people who like the aesthetic of something and don't know the behind the scenes history about it yet.
Because I believe in the word 'yet.' No one comes into this world knowing everything about everything, and we're all constantly learning new things. I'm not gonna degrade someone and call them a poser for not knowing what I know. Because if it were me, interested in a scene but getting chased out and called a poser? I wouldn't hit the books and study up, I'd go 'that fuckin sucks, those people sucked' and then avoid anyone and anything having to do with it.
So chase people off and call them posers if you want. But if your community starts dwindling, don't be fucking shocked.
#out of queue#ani rambles#punks and posers#i cant even call this a 4am hot take because its 7pm but like#idk i keep seeing posts about like 'how DARE people think I bought my punk clothes how DARE they not know the how-tos and DIYs'#or 'ugh people only care about the ~aesthetics~ of my movement if you don't know shit get out of here' and like#maybe I'm just a shy ass introverted nerd whos scared of social rejection! but I avoid that shit like the plague#so if someone were to reject me based on not knowing about something I'd never even heard about? something i was JUST getting into?#there's a high chance I'd just scram and never look back. i don't wanna be the one who causes that emotion in someone else#granted this is coming from someone who STILL doesn't know how to make her own patches or worked up the courage to do direct action praxis#outside of offering neighbors to my tomatoes and trying to talk to people about what I'm passionate about#but still imo unless someone's a malicious intentional bad actor i dont see the point in scaring newbies off#thats how movements die imo#i know this is my solarpunk blog but its not a solarpunk specific thing#i think the main post that inspired this was about store-bought versus self-made spiked leather jackets#which honestly just feels petty to me but who knows.#might delete later

can't stop thinking about a shadowgast "i'm not looking to fuck do you have a screwdriver my bathroom is flooding" grindr au
#essek's the one with a flooding bathroom because 1. he's a shut-in who wouldn't ever talk to his neighbors and 2. probably has#either extremely reactive experiments going on in his kitchen or classified documents he brought home to work on#but he wouldn't have a screwdriver#and caleb 'diy wizard' widogast would a. check grindr regularly and b. have a full toolkit#caleb sits essek down and shows him how to fix it. you'd think it turns into a porno but between essek's demisexuality and caleb's#all-encompassing excitement over Doing Repairs that I know that nerd would have. they don't get that far and caleb leaves quickly bc he#has papers to grade. a week goes by. essek starts breaking things on purpose. it slowly dawns on caleb that Shitty Pipes Guy doesn't#actually have shitty pipes it's that he's Lonely. and that's endearing. is this mic on#caleb teaches physics at a community college and essek is some skeevy government official with a phd in astrophysics

#kirby#daily kirby#my art#digital#hal laboratory#nintendo#so like aliexpress used to have a terrible reputation in terms of like quality and truth in advertising and such right#but like. amazon and etsy are swamped with bootleggers and dropshippers now too#so I figured like. can't be any worse right?#besides I know how to double check descriptions and measurements and examine images critically#I've shopped shady sites before like back when banggood was the only place to get those cute diy miniature kits#(now you can get them at regular craft store chains which is Wild to me)#but I have never opened aliexpress because everyone was always just like 'Never Go There'#(but then again these days folks are doing massive temu hauls left and right)#(so clearly norms have changed even if common perception of aliexpress has not)#I open it up and I immediately find the rug I spent an entire day hunting for unsuccessfully earlier in the month.#and a ton of incredible bootleg kirbs.#and a style of hair clip I've been hunting for for *years*.#soooo I spent the entire day in a pastel fugue lol#(I have not spent any money yet but I'm probably gonna)#(so like I can't confirm that you're not gonna get scammed or whatever just like. use common sense.)#(don't trust sale prices read descriptions/reviews when available and try to avoid work stolen from independent artists)#(that's usually gonna be on printed stuff like phone cases and posters)#(and tbh I have no qualms with stolen official art as long as the quality is as advertised)#(but there's a big difference between stealing from Multinational Corporation and stealing from Some Guy)#anyway done rambling now <3#favorites

never underestimate the joy of crafting a shitty pin 😊🉐
literally the only rin merch i can buy around here is a funko pop, only good for gathering dust on a shelf. obito is slightly less rare (endangered -> vulnerable leap in conservation status). how do i express love for a character without inviting people into my room?
+ bby team 7 & some evil obitos >:3
#naruto#naruto fanart#sketch#nic art#rin nohara#obito uchiha#team 7#sasuke uchiha#naruto uzumaki#sakura haruno#juubito#sai naruto#sai yamanaka#diy button pins#crafts#merch options: akatsuki cloud. konoha symbol. overused official art. a.i slop (can't even get naruto's 3 whiskers right). funko.#yes my girl rin is extinct in the wild (funko pop is a conservation effort)#and -- for example -- sakura is near threatened (group shot presence only)#sighing and doing everything myself#when i was 10 i had a book called “how to draw chibi” or something#just one of those numerous anime drawing books for kids. i desperately want to find it again#nowadays kids have youtube and tiktok. back in my day i carefully wrote notes (in pencil) in the book & even took it to school

"just go on hrt!" THAT WOULD BE FUCKING NICE WOULDN'T IT
#sorry I'm not angry I'm not but the amount of posts i see here that say “just go on hrt!”#truly I understand and adore the sentiment but like. some of us live places where there's a 6+ year waiting list for an INITIAL APPOINTMENT#or people that say there's no rules about going on hrt you don't have to be a binary trans person you don't have to be out#you can just do it if you want to#like yeah idealogically I agree but also some of us live places where there are rules for how you have to be if you want hrt#“DIY” “go private” WITH WHAT MONEY#sorry rant over I'm just. hough

I may not be a professional but I am neurodivergent and have watched at least one (1) YouTube tutorial video
So I will DIY it even if it kills me
#this is how i acquired most of my craft hobbies#i will begin doing upholstery this year and noone (not even god) can stop me#bookbinding#crochet#knitting#sewing#crafts#my diy mentality#buying something new is expensive but spending 2x money on supplies is definitely not

You can be opposed to taking DIY hormones yourself, but don't treat trans people who DIY like they're stupid or they're uneducated. Oftentimes, people DIY because there are no other options for them. What you do about people who DIY is basic harm reduction - that means educating as many people as possible about the safest ways to monitor hormone levels, how to inject safely if they're taking injectable hormones, teaching people about common signs of hormone imbalance, among other things.
DIY hormones already have risks, and people who DIY know that. The least you can do is not shame them or treat them like they're stupid because they DIY. Again, people will often DIY as a last resort because trans healthcare is rapidly being targeted.
#trans#transgender#lgbt#lgbtq#ftm#mtf#nonbinary#also like... DIY testosterone is already a felony for those in the US/UK/many other countries so there's huge risk#it just blows my mind how heartless people get about DIY hormone users. do you not get WHY people DIY?#i don't DIY but i understand that *need* to have medication and how hopeless that feels to not have it available#i hate when these discussions open back up because people go for the throat it feels like

*pokes my vest with a stick* into the Dye Baths with ye......
I haven't been super happy with this guy in a while, esp since I started work on the green one & its been coming along soooo good lol.... so this week I finally decided to just rip off the bandaid (aka all the patches ive painstakingly put on rip) and get the base to a good starting point again :)
next up is putting in these side panels for some more flavor & comfort when wearing over warmer clothes
(red will be facing outwards, shadow puppets on the inner face to reinforce the cotton & because its rad)
#battle jacket#sewing#diy punk#i tried to do some little wrap-up things on the top half like tyedye but it just came out looking like fucked up kissmarks lol#crafts#yeah im doing this instead of things i should be doing how did you know???

there is something I find inherently funny with Lucy's design. why is she so sexualized. why do u have pronounced metal tits. why do you have a BELLY BUTTON? what is the purpose of all of that maam.
#atomic heart looking ass design#lucy#reverse 1999#certified storm moments#was she created by some other person and they made her look. like that#did she pop into existence looking like. herself#or did she look different and one day decide. 'hm. adler get me a sledgehammer scrap metal and a welding machine.' diy breast implants#oh god i just got the worst idea rn. be glad that i don't know how to draw it into existence and that im busy even if i wanna attempt it#sorry for this godawful post i have to do something to stave off my enroaching existential anxiety

You'll never believe what time it is again
I was experimenting with a few things, mainly adapting my kitten body pattern into a full plush. The proportions are bonkers but it's very pleasingly bean shaped nonetheless. But I think I like the head shape of the last dog better 🤔 the middle gusset never holds the right shape for me.
#I painted the ears with watered down acrylics bc nowhere near me had the exact right brown fur#I'm... not sure how i feel about it. The color definitely took though so maybe i just need to experiment more#artbyrom#the little creature coterie#diy plush#custom plush#homemade plush#'rom why do you keep making tiny effigies of your childhood dog'#well because it's been four years and I still think about him every day and it makes me happy to have tiny replicas of him. what of it
