Celebrating 2 years on HRT today! My transition isn’t quite done yet (curse this wait for bottom surgery) but my face is my own and people see the real me. I’d do it all again in a heartbeat. If you’re questioning, start the hormones!! it’s life changing

this was the first one i did, and one of the most cathartic

Heated metal waiting to be forged,
yearning to become its true shape.
Etchings of discomfort everywhere
burn relentlessly until relief is found.
It will be beautiful.
It is beautiful.
But it is not yet complete.

this one was partially inspired by @catbus.phd 's squares (hope it's okay to tag, your art matters to me)

things constructed,
underwater, under pressure
can only be salvaged
by diving farther
than you can
bubbles at the surface
show it's still alive
you hope

fuck it, posting more of that abstract art i've been doing

a burning light, exhaled
the searing fear, expelled
grown tangled, twisted into something new
glowing incandescent rage
now peaceful steady resolve

a lot of my art lately has been pretty abstract and emotional so I haven't posted it here bc i haven't known what to do with the alt text, wonder if this is works

Eruptions like wings out of bark.
Blooming beautifully, a parasite.
Attempting to thrive
harming the wood
it's taken root in.
Life, doing its best.
Cannot see its own consequences.

I finally caught up on/finished The Amazing Digital Circus and had to type up my thoughts because OW (spoilers, obviously)

The Amazing Transgender Circus

l knew Jax was trans because my entire bluesky feed had spoiled that for me at this point. And like… yeah. She’s fucking trans.

She’s also really fucked up. Given how many trans people I know and have known, I can’t help but feel the reality in that. None of us get where we’re going without some deep trauma, and hurt people hurt people. There’s a balance I’m personally still trying to find between:
- being traumatized does not excuse the decisions people make or absolve them of their responsibility for the harm they inflict
- people whose psychological responses to their trauma are hurtful and cruel are still deserving of kindness and empathy
- the people that they hurt do not owe them forgiveness and there comes a point where continuing to extend that grace becomes enabling of the harmful behavior

I think TADC is very thoughtful in how it approaches the complexity of this. It hurts like hell that Jax abstracts off-screen. It’s so abrupt, and… that rings true. Often no one sees the depths of pain someone is going through until the worst happens.
Her actions are not forgiven and forgotten, and she never gets the chance to become a better, truer version of herself. But the people in her life still mourn her loss, recognize her humanity, and value her for who she was. It’s complicated, because people are complicated. Especially ones who have been through hell and harden themselves to cope.

The thing I hadn’t heard is just how thoroughly trans the theming of the entire finale was. Seeing the world fall apart around you, realizing you can never go back to the life you had before, losing people who used to mean the world to you, and seeing the paths to the dreams you used to hold blocked off… it’s all stuff I’ve been dealing with and have watched others go through.
And in the end, the “answer” to these crises is very real: Love and hold onto the new little family you find because Each Other is all any of you have left. And, while you grieve what you lost, do your best to build a new world for yourselves where you are. Find joy in a life that is so, so deeply different from what you imagined, but allows you to be who you are.
This entire show is really, really trans. It destroyed me and I love it. And it’ll probably be a while before I’ve fully processed everything it did to my brain.
Gooseworx deserves all the praise in the world and also a nap.

high heels and overalls is an unusual choice for dungeon delving but if it works it works

An elf has been added, sitting on the stairs just above the one wielding a rapier. She's wearing high-heeled shoes and overalls, and is tossing a potion nonchalantly over her shoulder towards a horrible owl-monster with proportions like a cricket.

look i don't even know what's up with this one

A creature of some sort has been added. It has an indescribably misshapen body, with the head of a barn owl at the end of a long lumpy neck. It flies on two very small insect wings, and in its talons is a large trident.

An elf has been added on the stairs. She wears a striped turtleneck sweater, and she wields a rapier in her left hand while holding a bubbling potion bottle in her right. She has a focused, slightly worried expression.

So thaaaaat's what those potions do

Another Terrible Owl has been added behind the one that had gotten hit with a potion bottle. The new owl has several bits of its body disintegrating, as it flees from the Potion Elves in terror. It has a slug tail instead of legs. On the ground beside it is another broken potion bottle.

I guess the theme of this month is just gonna be potions and the most horrible fucked-up owls I can conjure

Two owls (?) have been added to The Scene, attacking the knight with the big shield. One is airborne, with most of the body upside down but the wings upright. A head with eyes sewn shut dangles limply below it, while talons holding eyeballs sprout from the top, looking forward.
The second "owl" is large and quadrupedal, front limbs like talons (one of which is swiping ineffectually at the knight's shield), and the back limbs like wings, but being used like a seal's flippers.

An elvish knight has been added. She has a large shield, defending the other elves present. In her other hand she holds a spear, held at ready to stab over the top of the shield.

It's a horrible day in the dungeon, and you are a lovely goose.

A February Room has been added above the January Room, with a color palette reminiscent of Valentine's Day. Two new combatants have been added. Details in the other images.
