THIS. This is how you support trans people.
Professor Price | 1/10
Just my vision on how prof!Price from @guyfieriii’s series would have looked like
i hope what people take away from nex benedict's brutal murder is that transphobia affects all trans people, which heavily includes nonbinary people and especially non binary people of color. while people argue over whether or not nonbinary people are trans, we are being targeted by cishets. we are actively being targeted by transphobia. we are in danger of trans panic. we are still trans, and we need our binary trans siblings to stand beside us.
rest in power nex. you deserved better. please fight like hell for them. please fight like hell for the safety of trans folk in Oklahoma. please fight like hell for all nonbinary people. we are trans. we are your siblings, too.
you can help support queer folk living in oklahoma by supporting Freedom Oklahoma, a native-based organization for trans & queer rights in Nex's home state:
How do you draw kissing people? It always seems like magic to me people can do that 🥺
Yes, it's totally spelled "Necesarrily". I must confess I'm not a pro at smooches, but these are the few stuff I think about when I draw kisses.
Hope it gives something, haha ;_; <3
.................................... Then down below is my general advice (with kiss example) about any drawings where characters touch each other. Idk how other people do it, but here's my jam. I hope it's not too messy and weird. Probably is, since I'm messy and weird <3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ~~How objects turn around a focal point~~
So, let's break things down into the simplest shape and... think of heads like balls. In how many places can two balls touch at one go? Just one, right? Like........
BAM. A focal point has been birthed. It is pink, magical, and has the power to bend worlds. ALAS, heads are not balls, and have other shapes to consider. Here's where you gotta think about how the shapes rotate around that simple focal point... Then practice, experiment, scream into the void, and practice some more. A sloppy little neck smooch for example.
The temple of the right character touches the neck of the left - this is how their body parts could interact. There are many combos, play with the balls and find out, ayyy. Have another "in-depth" example with kissing, several shapes:
Focal point set on character "R" --- how do we join "L"?
Incompatible combo, as per my ugly shapes. "L's" nose stabs "R" from cheekbone to the mouth. Ouch. Their foreheads are also inside each other. Superouch --- So, how to fix it?
Initiate brainpower and rotate "L".
Nice, no more nose stabbing the cheekbone. The forehead of "L" is facing away from "R" so they don't touch, cool cool.
I feel like I suck at explaining shit and make stuff complicated
Now we magically have a smooch made from ugly shapes.
GL practicing, fren <3
Pride season is approaching and if I hear ANYONE speak poorly of bisexual women with boyfriends/husbands I’ll pop all your tires okay thx for listeninggg <3
c’mon everybody!!! *runs off excitedly and no one follows me*
so we made some fucking golden trans Scout (and Soldier) headcanons in @jinxhail666 ‘s tf2 chat <3
(keep in mind I am a trans boy and I simply headcanon this for fun, please do not interact if you’re gonna be an asshole about some harmless headcanons on Tumblr~)
if you had asked me as a child what colour the sky was, i would have confidently said blue and yellow. because i grew up on the baltic coast next to one of the most travelled ship routes of the world, and the unfiltered sulfur pouring out of the exhausts of nearly a hundred cargo ships every day turned into a thick layer of sickly yellow laying over the horizon. especially on sunny summer days, it settled of the sea like the cheap imitation of a sunset, out of place during the bright daylight.
then, from one summer to the next, the yellow slowly but surely faded away. because a new legislation passed - one which heavily penalised airborne ship emissions in the area. and while the silhouettes of ships across the passage never became less frequent, their backdrop was now such a pure blue that its hard to imagine that it was ever different.
i think about this everytime someone tells me that climate legislation doesn't work, everytime a new media story declaring our helplessness in the face of certain environmental doom makes the rounds. don't get me wrong - the situation we are facing in terms of climate change and environmental destruction is certainly terrifying. but everyday, people are working tirelessly to implement law and policy that could change that fact. and because of those people, a newly bright blue sky touches down over the baltic sea. and that has to count for something, i think.
