Bill Nye for most of his career: Imma do science for kids. Science without politics. Nice, tame science for the kiddos.
Bill Nye now:
sometimes you just gotta forget what society says and push away the haters and do what you love no matter what!
As a trans man, I’ve grown up pretty much controlled by my dysphoria. I wouldn’t touch anything that made me seem less “manly”. I forced myself to give up hobbies and interests and all sorts of things… but after a couple years it got really exhausting… I didn’t want to force myself to act like a cis man x100 just to be treated like a normal person. If a cis guy can like feminine or non-traditionally-masculine things, why can I? Ever since I started thinking that, I started being way more comfortable with myself. I still do things to pass as a guy though, and I still dress very masculine since that is how i am most comfortable. But I won’t let my dysphoria control me so much anymore, and I think that’s an important lesson a lot of trans guys need to hear. Do what makes you happy!! Be proud of who you are!!!
anyway, I made this comic/doodle compilation bc I headcanon a lot of characters as trans like lemmy and roy. it’s mostly a lot of self projecting but…… yeah. I tried to show the Trans Experience with this comic. Ngl, dysphoria got me down a lot when i was younger… the only thing that kept me going was support from my family, and I can imagine the koopalings doing the same. Being trans isn’t just a miserable experience though, I have felt so happy finding who I am and finding people who support me. It’s so amazing and I’m so proud of every trans person out there!
dont tag as ship. also please remember this is just all headcanons
disclaimer: I am east asian. if anyone who is not white sees anything wrong with my phrasing, inaccuracies, or insensitivity, or something I missed, please feel free to add on. I’m just one person with one perspective; none of what I say should be taken as The Singular way to draw an Asian character. if you havent done so already, please take the effort to expand your view of Asian culture outside this one tutorial.
if a white person reblogs this and adds something stupid I’m going to bite and kick you like a wild animal

Writing a story is so much harder than drawing it honestly I don’t know how authors do it
