Thinking About Queer Platonic Relationships

Casually posting this everywhere I post my art because Mx Ma’am (me) needs a new aesthetic and I’m reliving my Cartoon Network dreams era

ITS A ME !!~

all i can draw are my ocs really small and in bubbles. lil pals in a lil bubble.

I drew this on the bus and a randomold lady sitting next to me started questionning me about the ipad i was drawing on ........ (silly comic under cut)

pardon for the french i do not care to write in english (the lady asks: Tell me ... What is that?)

“And now that we’re a part of a Nigerian Prince Scam,

Surprise Surprise it’d end up being a white man.”

Book of Proverbs I believe. Amen.

TRANS WOMEN: HERE'S SOME SHIT YOUR DOCTOR WONT TELL YOU ABOUT HRT

1. Progesterone: not for everyone, but for many people it may increase sex drive and WILL make your boobs bigger. Also effects mood in ways that many find positive (but some find negative). Most doctors won’t prescribe this to you unless you ask. Most trans girls I know swear by it.

2. Injectible estrogen: is more effective than pill or patch form. Get on it if you can bear needles bc you will see more effects more quickly.

3. Estradiol Cypionate: There is currently a shortage of injectible estradiol valerate. There is no shortage of estradiol cypionate. Functionally they do the same shit.

4. Bicalutamide: This is an anti-androgen that has almost none of the side-effects of spironolactone or finasteride. The girls I know who are on it are evangelical about it.

Well this one will be a full render finished piece 👆🏻🐮

And my silly fursona 😽

I’m on bluesky now but like

It’s so intimidating, I have no clue what I’m doing over there. It’s like diving into the deep end without floaties for the first time after having your only experience with a pool being an inflatable one for small dogs. I can safely yell into the void here.

But I’m gonna try to stick with it. I wanna be a semi-professional artist at some point. I need to branch out if I wanna be seen.

Just wish there was a guide book written for me that spelled out in no uncertain terms how to make friends as someone who is both autistic and an artist. How do y’all do it? Why does it seem so easy for everyone but me?

All those questions and more after the break 🎶

additional info:

-> “why wasn’t this book listed?” probably because it wasn’t black sapphic-centric, the author isn’t a black sapphic themself, or i just simply haven’t heard of it! so feel free to add on if it meets those two criteria

many of these books require trigger warnings, especially some of the older ones that are more likely to feature racial struggles of the time. please do your due diligence and search for tws if you want to read them!

please feel free to add onto this list in the rbs or comments! happy black history month
