Un Jour Je Serai De Retour Près De Toi

they're very friends

i've realized that a lot of the things people who abide by the social expectations say are from their own perspectives and they cannot be accurately applied to my trans experience.

'don't transition, you're just insecure/mentally ill/traumatized(/whatever other reasons they have)' are all the failed attempts of a cis person empathizing in a way that ranges from inconvenient at best to transphobic at worst, depending on where they take their assumptions, and these perspectives don't take dysphoria (or euphoria, on the contrary) into consideration as a reason someone might want to transition, because cis people don't know the extent of our dysphoria, as well as the other experiences that we experience alongside it.

this attempt shouldn't be taken too seriously; it happens with many other people as well. 'you're just lazy' (against disabled people) 'you'll meet the right one someday' (against aspecs) 'just go outside, you'll feel better' (against mentally ill people and those facing worser issues besides mere depression) 'just go ahead and try it' (against neurodivergent people as well as those with physical disabilities), 'you'll be grateful when you get older' (against people who faced parental abuse), do these perspectives sound familiar? they all come from the people giving you advice in a way that worked for them, as a person abiding by the social expectations; many people aren't sure what empathy really means, and ao they empathize by giving eachother advice. those answers genuinely work for others like them; they won't for us. in worser scenarios, we're judged or hated because of their failed empathization. and because we're kept near the sidelines, and they manage to help eachother, anyone who doesn't empathize in the way they do is thrown out. people with low empathy and those expressing it in different ways also suffer from this. but even those who abide by the social standards aren't entirely accurate with their empathy, if they have it.

and i just wanted to share this, for anyone who's suffering from internalized transphobia (and perhaps other self views about other parts of your identity), in case it might help you distance yourself from it and worry less about whether they're right. they're not, because they're judging you from their viewpoint as a cis person. try not to take it to heart; you're fine the way you are, i promise.

Hey, here's the full set of the brand new Disco Elysium pics!

Prints are available, and maybe these work well in poster format (which inprnt started doing a while ago)?

I'm sad I didn't get to draw any cars, would be nice to do 1 more, but I need to move on... Also, there has been a promo on all summer at inprnt that might end soon, so these are at 35% off right now!

oh no now his hairy boobois are out

Green light as the meaning of life

(Kim why are you so good, I love you)

Every time I walk by my roommate playing Disco Elysium I see this creature roaming the wet streets, soaked with tears and woes.

Kim taking notes on how quickly Harry tired himself out this time. (They spoke to 20 different people and tried on sunglasses and played boardgames and started a nightclub, but where is the murderer? A mystery.)
