happy friday the 13th! heres my sweet girl pepper at her best. if you have black cats, make sure to give them some extra love and attention today.
Really wish I had the art skills to make a comic about my raider, vehicle worshiping colony who I based off of War Boys and biker gangs who, after defending against a raid, found a fertilized Saurid egg from one of the dead raiders and kept it.
It hatched after a few days, sitting ideally by my researcher and popped out a lil blue Saurid baby who I named Komoda and the entire gang INSTANTLY accepted her.
These badass biker gang raiders whos diet is 50% flake and chemshine all gained full social acceptance of this baby and all pitch in to help play and take care of her, like one big happy fucked up family.
I imagine one of my colonist John, who was one of the first impids to join and the now leader, wearing one of those baby harness things with Komoda in it as they go for a ride to the nearest settlement to trade.
I absolutely love the story telling in Rimworld.
Accepting being a trans woman now is realizing the danger of being harassed, physically assaulted, or ostracized from my family and society never pushed me as far into the closet as the people who pushed me to be a "uwu cute trans girl" did.
I was a feminine man for a LONG time, and forced down a ton of my trans feelings since high school, but I showed many signs of being an egg- until my mid 20s, when I finally cracked.
A lot of the queer and trans friends I did have used to say things as blatant as: "so when are you starting E?" "have you picked a name out yet kitten?" Or my favorite: "you'd look great as a girl… are you sure you're not trans?"
The only reason I was able to finally accept being trans was by figuring things out MYSELF and by having a partner who was both supportive and respectful of my autonomy. They never pushed me to consider myself as a girl instead of just a feminine man, and that gave me the room I needed to breathe.
Don't push that awkward egg to crack. And it's shitty to assume someone must be trans just because YOU think they might be. Don't tell them, "oh you act like this, so stop denying yourself!" Just ask them, "how do you feel about yourself?" It's not your life journey. Let them walk it themself.
I cant even imagine the pain parents go through with goth kids.
Pushing out all those piercings at birth must've hurt so bad.
I love this motherfucker but he dies TOO MUCH
