I feel like an unhealthy mix of Edgar Allen Poe and Frida Kahlo and...

... I'm not really mad about it...

I just dont understand why the universe RNG-ed me into being this way...

... I hope I make it past my 40s...

💯 or the gpt-gnarled, bastardized, regurgitated version of it

I weep for the eventual (very possible) downfall of humans.

As a sci-fi / cyberpunk / endstage dystopian writer

It displeases me greatly that my strangest nightmares are leaking into reality. I wish more people were wise to this.

I legit gasped out loud and thought to myself: marble shaped people stuck in chairs from Wall•E.

Same, too, do not want this timeline.

I haven't had the courage to label a sketchbook since I changed majors from animation to English.

This is the first hardbound I've owned since 2010, guys...

Gonna start with the basics (self portrait) and see where it takes us...

Today, despite my best efforts, will be difficult, and that is okay.

Every day, moving forward, will be difficult, and that is okay.

I am not my illness, and I am capable of thriving.

It's going to be okay.

We're going to be okay.

I am going to be okay.

One of the worst parts of being ghosted by someone you considered your best friend (as a disabled homebound person) is the idle time between messages that you've come to expect...

Who am I supposed to lament with, now?
Who am I meant to send this meme to?

I hate my autism for making me this way...

Blazed sky high tonight, chat.

So Happy #NationalComingOutDay. I AM TRANS; all my trans siblings are my family, now. I will FIERCELY protect every person who believes people, no matter how they identify, deserve to thrive. I'd rather be loved & accepted than rejected & edited.

WE WILL NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT.

I say all of this to say:

It has been liberating moving to Michigan & escaping the hatred the south perpetuates.

Everyone deserves love & visibility; just because the only family member I--foolishly--keep in touch with refuses to know me for who I am, where I am, does not invalidate me.

I didn't want prayers. I didn't want to be told that I was going to hell. I didn't want to be told "I'll find my way back to Jesus," because of his blind faith.

I just wanted my only living parent to love me. To accept me.

And his authority--wreathed in fear tactics, emotional manipulation, willful ignorance, and malicious intent--was predicated on the fact that he is older than me, therefore he has lived more life and is far more wise than I.

I still want(ed) my father to love me, unconditionally.

He--of course--completely ignored the fact that I had the audacity to be brave enough to challenge his world view (of which, he has lorded of my head--my entire life--that is the "one, right" world view because of a holy book written by flawed men), & continued to call me by my deadname.

"excuse" as to why people were lazy, or unproductive, or otherwise down on their luck. It was toxic. It was dangerous (complete with physical ab*use & mental denegration). And it was cruel.

So when I came out to my father with the truth that not only am I AUTISTIC w/ ADHD, I'm also TRANS

I grew up under the thumb of religious tyranny, overprotected because I was born AFAB in the 90s, and then forced into familial servitude as a caregiver of a disabled (bigotted) father.

Mental health was not only NOT recognized in my household, it was grossly chided and made to be an

For context: I am--currently--identifying as a demiboy (with a goal to find GAHT in the next few years, finances willing), and I escaped the south so I could thrive in a place that will view me with passive indifference (which is all I need to create worlds and make art).

Since my father refuses to acknowledge my journey on this planet & continuously refers to me as "his daughter," to his hundreds of youtube viewers, I'd like to make something abundantly clear:

I am queer.

I really need to find another d&d group... I miss shenanigans and hijinx.

And the inspiration to draw our crew doing those shenanigans.

Nerd culture is so goddamn inspiring.
