Bitches love reblogging this post every Tuesday the 18th
Spin this wheel twice to figure out what they are!
my mom made me watch the last part of stranger things w her last night and she kept getting frustrated that i was laughing every time the evil villain guy showed up because whenever he’d come onscreen i’d think abt this video of his actor in prosthetics trying to drink a bottle of coke and fucking dying and she was like WHATS SO FUNNY HE JUST KILED SOMEONE and i couldn’t form coherent words for liek 10 mjnutes the noises THE NOISES
do you have any advice for drawing kitties? I would love to start my own clangen blog but the actual art is my final hurdle
honestly the biggest advice i have is that references are your best friend. find good drawings of cats and trace them to figure out the shapes, observe the way that the muscles twist and the joints bend, eventually you'll start to figure out the shapes on your own--though i think that references will always be important, no matter how good of an artist you are
my second biggest advice is do it bad. draw it and try not to care about how it looks--because it WILL look bad sometimes!!! and you will never stop having art that sometimes looks bad. it will never come out looking exactly the way you want it to, and spending all your time doing sketches that don't work the way you're hoping will only leave you with a hundred half finished drawings. do it bad

gender euphoria be upon ye

this isn't something that exclusively affects nonbinary people, but for reasons i'm gonna get into, we're disproportionately and the most obviously affected by this.
whether we'd like to admit it or not: the trans community has a problem with bioessentialism and is at times just as obsessed over genitals at birth as cis people are.
it becomes really obvious when you look at how nonbinary people are grouped into amab and afab, transmasc or transfem. for trans men, everyone assumes they were born with a vagina, for trans women, everyone assumes they were born with a penis. with those terms, it's easy for people to make assumptions about "where they came from", i.e. what genitals they were born with. of course in these ideas, there is no room for intersex experiences.
nonbinary is more vague and doesn't have "built-in" assumptions about AGAB or genitals at birth. and people hate that. i believe it's one of the main reasons why people are obsessed with dividing us into amab and afab.
but many people have realised that this isn't a good look, so instead they divide us into transmasc and transfem. if trans men are assumed to all be afab and have vaginas at birth, then so are all transmascs. of transfems are assumed to all be amab and have penises at birth, then so are all transfems. (note: this is not at all about people self-identifying as transmasc or transfem, but rather about people using them as collective descriptors.) nonbinary people are constantly confronted with questions like "are you transmasc or transfem?" by other trans people, trying to figure out "where we came from". nonbinary people confuse most people, and most people can't sit with that at all. transmasc and transfem as collective terms like this are considered less bad than amab and afab, because at least they don't refer to agab anymore, so we're not allowed to say anything. ignore the fact that these terms are misgendering many of us and painting a linear picture of the gender spectrum.
i'm very sure that this is also why people hate afab transfems and amab transmascs so much. if transmasc no longer automatically means afab, and transfem no longer automatically means amab, then these terms have supposedly "lost all meaning", because whatever will i do if i don't know what genitals someone was born with.
because let's be real, that's what the obsession with AGAB comes down to. you were born with either a vagina or a penis and that will shape all of your trans experiences. once again ignoring intersex people or any sort of diversity in people's upbringing. it's bioessentialism.
and because nonbinary as a label is free from agab assumptions, we're called by these extra terms that we may or may not identify with way more often. not only are we reduced to our bodies, we're also misgendered and/or consistently related back to our agab in the process.
