#unicorn dysphoria

[eggoatt]

this is true. it was an early idea that i cut because it ultimately didn't fit the vibe when i was trying to manage the page count. it's not the only drawing/idea that i cut but it is the most "finished" one

i was going for something about her being/feeling alien, but obv it's also mostly a joke cuz the idea of swearing on your high school principal's name (or any normal ass adult) is still really funny to me. i might revisit it someday with better art

I was looking through my copy of unicorn dysphoria again today and I didn’t really think about it when I first read it because I was just gushing about species dys/euphoria feelings but are all the pieces in that zine made with traditional media and then like… scanned? I know sometimes programs can mimic the look of paint/ink/other physical media but it didn’t seem like that to me? As someone who loves physical mediums that observation immediately got me PUMPED to make my own project

short answer: yes

long answer:

unicorn dysphoria was made in a fervor while trying to meet a deadline (my partner was tabling at a local zine fest, she said if i made a zine it could be on her table), my computer was shitting itself, and i was in the middle of moving 1000 miles away.

so i did all of the work traditionally in my sketchbook(s), took the best photos i could, and then did a crazy amount of color/lighting correction to make it look like i scanned it. as for specific materials/media, it's a mixed bag: copics, colored pencil, sharpies, graphite, assorted other pens/markers, basically anything i had easy access to.

i would def recommend getting your paws on a scanner to make your life easier, but otherwise i would totally say you should do this. the looseness of traditional media gives sequential work like zines and comics a really unique feel and its also really fun to have the original artwork to look through. usually when i do a big creative project there's no evidence of it by the end, but doing it on paper makes me going insane over a cartoon horse very tangible, like when you walk into a room and see some kind of destruction and you just know Something Happened Here

my unavoidable instinct to have a wolf fursona is so boring and tired of course you’re a wolf i bet you put a moon marking on your forehead or something biiitch. well i cant help it

[socalspacecadet]

feeling really mournful over the files i lost when my computer died. all the stuff from the past year-- some of the best and coolest and most important art i've ever made-- is gone. a lot of them are on the internet but it's not the same

More G1 infection lore

GeluAteKurama over on DA had some questions and I figured I'd post the answers here too:

what will happen to ponies like Pinkie that G1 counterparts had wings or horns??

I'm still undecided on what will happen to pinkie but for now I imagine phantom pain. Her brain tells her there should be wings and there aren't wings = pain. It will be like chronic pain. I'm not sure if I should move a little bit into body horror in that case but I'd rather not. Maybe more feathers are triggered in her coat.

If the pony is a unicorn but their G1 self is a pegasus would they lose their magic and grow wings or just lose magic and be confused as to why they can't fly??

In case of someone being an Unicorn but G1 being a Pegasus, yes, the magic would at least dim to a certain way. The g1 pony wouldn't know how to use the Unicorn magic and might actually have body dysphoria along the way too.

And what about the ponys that don't have a G1 counterparts but do maybe have a G2 or G3, would they turn on one of those ones??

A very good question. I'm not very well versed on anyone outside of the main 6 and the princesses so I'd be curious to know who got inspired by who. The possibilities it would open up!

And the ponys who are completely original to G4, would those be immune to the infection or get some different symptoms??

And yes, those original to G4 are immune to it. They are completely safe and sound. What would be interesting thought, about ponies with similar inspiration. Like Twilights mom who has a coat inspired by G1 Twilight. Mhhhh

Fluid - a poem by me

Six years old in the supermarket

You made me make a choice

A calendar of green or pink

And I dared use my own voice

I said I wanted dinosaurs

You said it made you sad

That I didn't pick the unicorns

So I learned my voice was bad

Seven years old in the playground

Watching all my fellow girls

I suddenly felt lonely

I couldn't live in their world

I turned myself to stories

Because stories weren't real

My friends became the characters

And I refused to feel

Eight years old writing fiction

In the worlds inside my head

I made my main character me

But I was a boy instead

This boy, he had a girlfriend

Beautiful and kind

With fiery hair and a pretty dress

And I never spoke my mind

Nine years old in the classroom

Learning about long ago

I'm told to pick out costumes

So we can put on a show

All the boys get chainmail

The girls each get a dress

And I'm confused, I want both

My head is such a mess

Ten years old and singing

With everyone in class

And looking back on this moment

The closet was truly glass

They split the class in boys and girls

One for each half of the song

I stood in the middle, unsure why

I didn't know where I belonged

Eleven years old and learning

That love's more than black and white

Realising that I'm in love with girls

Led me to too many fights

I learn the word "transgender"

I say "maybe that's me"

But no one will explain it

So I just let it be

Twelve years old in high school

New friends, new life, new games

I learn the term "non-binary"

I give myself a new name

And though I think I'm sure of it

Sometimes I'm filled with doubt

When people deny the things I say

And I want to scream and shout

Thirteen years old and in love

She teaches me so much

I hate myself but I love her

And for now that is enough

Dysphoria is like a plague

Heartbreak is my best friend

I'm too hurt to figure myself out

I just want life to end

Fourteen years old and healing

I'm chronically online

A new family who teach me

What it's like to be alive

I learn a new identity

One that I think fits

"Gender fluid" it is called

And I think this is it

Fifteen years old and still not there

There's so much more to learn

But I've got a life ahead of me

And I've got friends to earn

I'm proud of being fluid, though

The people make it tough

Despite the comments, stares and hits

For now, I am enough

One day I am a teenage girl

One day I am a boy

Sometimes I'm neither, or I'm both

But I am not society's toy

I wear high heels and wear a dress

I get myself short hair

In jeans, a cap, crop top, a skirt

Expression everywhere

this is awful but oh well

Us, Forever Biting Off More Than We Can Chew

There are a LOT of alterhuman related projects we have laying around either our house or in our computer that we keep trying to work on, but... there are so many of them! And none of them are 'small' projects either. These projects include:

An interactive list/archive of all the alterhuman related media out there (and most of which we have archived copies of). It includes academic books, dissertations, academic journal articles, survey results, books, documentaries, recordings of interviews, recordings of convention panels, magazine articles, newspaper articles, recordings of radio broadcasts, links to websites, novels, comics, movies, and more.  But we're just one person system with one body. Its a monster of a project because every entry has a summary, a list of relevant pages if the entity of the thing isn't about alterhumanity, tags, and the like. Its taking forever to do and do right.

Our own online comic. We already have several comics complete with outlines for more. We just need to complete the WIP comics and actually make a place to share comics made.

Earth Listener's book. Yes, book. Earth Listener started work on her own personal essay, but when she passed 20,000 words with still more to go she was like "why not?" and has been working on a whole ass book focusing around her personal alterhumanity. She's already passed 30,000 words actually written and she's still not done. She's made art, diagrams, and figures for it. If/when she completes it, its gonna be a monster, and the rest of us are in a terrified state of awe at it.

Complete the writing of all these essay/document projects:

The A-Z of Alterhumanity

An Introduction on Fictionkinity

An Introduction on Otherheartedness

An Overview of Being Transspecies

An Overview of Clinical Lycanthropy

The Shifting Dictionary & Guide

A Timeline of Mentions of Those Who Are More-Than-One Who Do Not Attribute Their Existence to Trauma and/or Do Not Attribute Their Existence to DID, OSDD, DDNOS, or MPD

A Timeline of the Tulpamancy Community

What Is Species Dysphoria?

Fix and update all of these complete projects we feel could be so much better now that we have more experience:

A Timeline of People with Nonhuman Experiences & Related Subjects

A Timeline of the Alterhuman Community

A Timeline of the Fictionkin Community

A Timeline of the Therianthrope Community

A Timeline of the Unicorn Community

... We love working on these projects but we feel bad they aren't done, available, and useful in the present, and we feel very bad and guilty about that. We feel bad for being so slow at making things. ~ Sky Singer (he/him)

[dragonlordazuroth]

Had an idea for an oc for @captainzigo's Equestrian Civil War au. Ended up making 3, lol. Patch'O'Clover (he/him) was a unicorn that was kidnapped and experimented on by the North Wind. His brother, Bright Star (he/him), and their best friend Gabriel (he/they) tracked Patch down and broke him out from the facility. (It's a miracle that they all made it out mostly unscathed (aside from Gabriel losing his right wing).

Patch had a really hard time at first dealing with his body being so drastically changed against his will (especially since he already struggles with gender dysphoria), but the love and support from his brother and his best friend has really helped him be able to handle it.

Also I tried to make Patch'O'Clover vaguely look like a triceratops I really hope people can tell that lol

Dissounicorn

Pt: Dissounicorn :end pt

A Dissospecies term describing a involuntary disconnect one has with their species, caused them to feel they are, or should be, a unicorn. This is for non-harmful transition and dysphoria relief.

Coined for day 5 of @page-of-void-mogai's coin war event! With the Apollo prompt of mythological creatures!

Mentions / Tags: @radiomogai, @dissodic-archive, @kiruliom, @smilepilled

Banner transcript: This term was made by an Endogenic. Anyone can use it however (So don't repost or recoin, ask before adding to wikis) :End Transcript

The dysphoria I feel is the same as Amalthea from The Last Unicorn when Schmendrick changes her.

Has anyone ever talked about dysphoria and The Last Unicorn?

I mean specifically when the Unicorn is changed into a woman, and the distress she feels. Even long before I realised I was trans, something about her transformation spoke to me.

[immeasurablesaladagere]

haii could I have either headcanons or a fic about little transfem House and how she deals with dysphoria when regressed n how wilson helps her :3

- @tummy-rubs-for-wilson-pup

Here you go!

House and Wilson have nail-polish-parties! Wilson paints House's nails and House paints Wilson's and demands he leave on her masterpiece and wears them to work.

She gets all the colours and the glitter. It gets everywhere all the time because she doesn't like to sit still. Always gets patterns of different colours.

When she's feeling old enough she and Wilson practice makeup with those "girl's first eyeshadow, etc." kits.

On bad dysphoria days Wilson really ramps up the fem nicknames. He calls her honey, darling, sweetheart, angel (House thinks this one is funny when she's big because haha, no), and princess.

They cover mirrors with blankets that have stars on them.

Wilson took her out to get the girls toys she missed out on growing up like Barbies and the pink version of things like doctor playsets. House loves making the Barbies ride her monster trucks and crash into each other. He also ordered her dress-up outfits like princess dresses, crowns and tiaras, a toy magic wand, and fairy wings.

A lot of the ways Wilson helps House with dysphoria is with providing a lot of "traditionally girly" activities because she doesn't accept verbal reassurances very well. They watch DVD Barbie movies, My Little Pony, and Strawberry Shortcake, she colours princess colouring pages, they bake sugar cookies with pink frosting on them.

Fun socks and footwear have been extremely helpful! Long, short, fluffy spa socks, unicorns, bright colours, butterflies, a pair of pink slippers, the works.

Wilson reminds her to take her estrogen :)
