"The Dream Where I am Myself" (3/3)

When drawing that last panel, I was messing with my light settings and ended up with a lesbian light scene.
Me 2 grabs Me 1 by the head with both hands and makes her turn around to look. After, Me 2 points her finger sharply at Me 1, shouting. Text reads: "Don't give me that! We've made it thus long, haven't we? What's one more day or week?" The dream fades away. In the amber hues of morning, I begin to wake up (though groggy). In the final panel, it zooms in on my mouth, a soft smile.

"The Dream Where I am Myself" (2/3)

I kept going back and forth with the colors on the backgrounds here. I'm still no background artist, there's a lot more I could have done, but for what it's worth, I think I did okay.
Me 1 moved over to the seat besides Me 2. Both proceed to have a conversation. Text reads: "...Odd question: Are you me?" "Pretty much, yeah." Me 2 turns and raises her hand while talking. Text reads: "But I'm more like... The way that you want to be. Or, I'm the way we look on the inside. Guessing you know by now this is a dream, right?" Me 1 nods. Me 2 places her hand on the window beside. Text reads: "I imagine it's... Odd seeing me, isn't it? We've never "met" like this before." Me 1 scratches her head. Text reads: "It's really weird, yeah. Being entirely honest, I'm jealous of... Myself? Of how you look." Me 1 then pessimistically looks to the other side while resting her head on her hand. Text reads: "I'd rather not wake up. Then I'll have to look at "this." " Me 2 then turns to look at Me 1, pointing a finger. "Let's look at our hands! Try that instead." Me 2 then opens her hand out. Text reads: "But hey! Now you have an idea of what we'll look like in the future." Me 2 places her hand over Me 1's. There is a soft glow to the panel. The next panel is also soft, a borderless text box in a white and pink space. Text reads: "So do me a favor, and just stick in there, okay?" Me 1, darkened by shadows with a gritty, scratchy, black mat background, just keeps looking away. Text reads: "That... That's way easier said than done."

"The Dream Where I am Myself" (1/3)

This has been the longest project I've ever worked on. But, I felt it was worth breaking my traditional comic format for this. Consider this my late "trans awareness week comic."

#trans
#transgender
#comic
#lgbt
The comic begins with I falling asleep, going into a dream. We start with the top of a roof, looking to the sky. Text reads: "I have plenty of dreams. I don't always remember them, but this one, I do." A view of a city from behind a stop sign with a bus driving through. A zoom in on the bus from the outside. Text reads: "I was sitting on a bus, going to who knows where." Then Me 1, drawn less femininely, turns her head to see Me 2, drawn in how I normally depict myself. Text reads: "Then, I turn my head and see her." Me 1 is stunned at this. Text reads: "Rather, I see myself." Then Me 2 pats on the empty seat beside. Text reads: "Come. Take a seat."

8 games to get to know me!

It should be 10 but I don't exactly play many video games and I wanted to have one game per series (then it would just be persona and pokemon)
10 games to get to know me trend, but there's 8. Persona, Honkai Star Rail, Pokemon, Terraria, Sea of Stars, Minecraft, Stardew Valley, and Yugioh Master Duel

"A bit of Magic"

You know, magic is fun, and so are facts. Especially when I can take the opportunity to mix both of them together, like now!

#trans

Me sitting on a chair in a corner with my magic stick going across it. Text reads: "So I've had this magic stick for a while now." Me standing up in front of the chair, now holding my magic stick. Text reads: "Coincidentally, I also like sharing fun facts I learn." Now up closer to me, I'm holding the magic stick in one hand. Text reads: "So, you wanna see a fun fact I can show you with a bit of magic?" Me shooting off a magic spell that explodes into a giant burst of pinks, blues, and white, with "You're valid!" written near the top of the explosion.

"Feelings of Acceptance"

I showed this comic to an unmentioned friend of mine, and he described it perfectly. When it's cis people, your name comes off as a rule to them, but when it's other, fellow trans people, they understand the meaning behind it.

#trans
#comic
#lgbt
#transgender
Three people talking together about something. Text reads: "There's a difference when I hear or read my name. When it's from someone cis, even my friends, there's something about it that feels... Forced? Disingenuous? Something like that." Two of the people are also saying my name, Chloe. Me standing to the side, rubbing my head with an awkward smile. Text reads: "I'm happy when they do say my name. I'm not going to deny it, and I'm thankful they do use my name. But there's a nagging voice in my mind." The thought bubbles read: "It's just for show. They don't actually think that's your name." The panel is split into two halves. The top half is me looking at discord on my phone, focusing in on a message with my name. The second half is me in a discord call with other trans artists/friends of mine, and two are saying my name. Text reads: "But when it's somebody who is also trans, it changes entirely. It feels right. They use my name because it is my name!" Me laying in the grass, under a tree, feeling warmth and bliss. The text reads: "They see me for who I am, not the person I was. And that feeling is pure bliss."

"So-called Ally" (2/2)

This is a responsible use btw
I turn and walk away, holding my magic stick over my shoulder. Text reads: (Me) "Sure, sure, I just needed to make that known. I'm not paying for repairs, by the way." (Fake ally dude, small) "Dick." I used fireball on fake ally dude (: He got sent put of the comic border (: Text reads: (Me) "Fireball."

And on today's episode of "Chloe got a magic stick," I use it very responsibly.

The fake ally man(™️) is sitting at his desk, reading something on his computer. Text reads: (Computer) "A trans woman says she doesn't have dysphoria." (Fake ally man) "Wow, that dude's gotta be faking it." I blow through the wall of the fake ally dude's room with my magic stick. Fake ally dude falls over, out of his chair. Text reads: (Me) "And you're wrong! Just because they have no dysphoria, doesn't mean they're faking." I stand in front of fake ally dude and hold my magic stick next to me. Text reads: (Me) "That's something an actual ally would know. You, on the other hand, are partaking in performative allyship. Which is particularly nasty of you, given everything going on involving this community." (Fake ally dude, small) "You blew up my wall!" (Me, small) "Only a little bit." I continue to talk to the fake ally dude, presenting horrible news articles about the anti-lgbtq+ bullshit going on, specifically in America. Text reads: (Me) "I mean, seriously, would you want to be the target of endless harassment literally just for existing?" (Fake ally dude) "Okay, fine, I get it! Just leave!"

"Vocal fun"

Sorry for not posting any comics during June. I should've done that.

But here's a new comic to hopefully make up for that! I haven't decided if I'll make another comic for later in July, but we'll have to wait and see.

#transartist

Panel one: Me sitting on what looks like a stick flying through the air. Text reads: "I know I'm not the first to say this, but voice training sucks! Pitch this, resonance that, give me gunpowder, and I'm casting fireball." Panel two: I casted fireball. There's a big explosion and dust gets kicked up. Text reads: "I know eventually I'll get a good voice, but I'd like it to be now. Yeah yeah, I know I need to be patient." Me flying down on the magic staff with images of impressions I can do around me, including Mario characters, pokemon, and oddly enough, Master Chief. Text reads: "But also, I spent years trying to make my voice deeper to do impressions. I've always wanted to do amateur voice acting." Panel four: I'm standing, holding staff while looking angry. Text reads: "So I'd love to get away from the squeaky gremlin, and get more to "girl"!"

"Birthdays" (2/2)

Can you tell I kinda gave up with panel five?
Three scratchless boxes, all with me in them. The first one is me embracing a light, the other is me in the middle of a group photo where I am being focused on, and then just me looking happy. Text reads: "But I do have hope, at least a small amount of it. One day, I'll like my birthday again. One day, I'll be the one celebrated. One day, this animosity will be but a thing of the past." A birthday cake with pink frosting that says, "Happy birthday Chloe". Text reads: "But until then, I guess happy birthday to me. The birthday girl."

"Birthdays" (1/2)

Birthdays I feel are generally hard for a lot of trans people. My feelings on mine definitely aren't the most positive

#transgender
#transcomic

#trans
A lit, melting candle in a dark room with scratches covering the upper and lower ends of the screen. Text reads: "It's my birthday soon, it's this Friday - 16th of May. But I can't say I'm excited. I haven't been excited for them in a long time. Sure, I like gifts and wishes." A person resembling me with their face scratched hard, wearing a party hat. They are in front of a table with bland cake that has "21" on it. Text reads: "But I'm not the one being celebrated. It's him that is. Not me, I'm just faking it. And I'm reminded of that every May. The celebrations never feel genuine. No matter how much I could plead, I just know I can't have that one wish granted." Three individual bubbles with a lot of noise. The first one is that same scratched out person nodding and bowing, the second is the scratched out person accepting a gift, and the last one is me, by myself, just laying on the floor defeated. Text reads: "But I nod. I say, "Thank you." I accept his gifts. They are mine, right?" Three people, including myself, sitting around a table, laughing hard over a game of Cards Against Humanity. Text reads: "It's not even that I hate birthdays. They can be really fun! I enjoy celebrating my friend's. I just can't find a reason to justify my own. That's some imposter syndrome right there."

Me standing in a kitchen grabbing something from a cabinet. Text reads: "Being real has its perks. I like being able to reach the top shelf with no effort." Me standing in a hallway with really tall heels. Text reads: "On top of it being some unavoidable dysphoria, I would die in heals! Emotionally and physically!" Me tripping on some stairs after hitting my head on the ceiling. Text reads: "Needing to duck everywhere is also annoying. I'm only 6'0!" Me looking very small on a pink blanket holding a spheal plush. Text reads: "I alto want to be small. My mental image of myself is a lot smaller than I actually am."

Spoilers for the minecraft movie, BUT

This may have been the funniest experience I've had with a movie. The way the audience (and myself) blew up at the chicken jockey scene was astounding. It isn't trying to be a masterpiece, just a fun time. This was an insanely fun time

Also like I gotta bingo

"Noise"

CW: Negative thoughts

I truly do despise listening to my parents talk to each other like the walls aren't paper thin. I know I'll get out of here eventually, so for now I'm just bearing with it
Me sitting on my bed, leaning against the wall listening to my parents on the other side talking. Text reads: "Rfk said... Trump's finally..." Negativity begins closing in around me as I listen to them more. Text reads: "God those people... They're so sensitive." The image gets much more gray and bleak as I slump over and lay down. Text reads: "***** should just..." Finally, the negativity and the noise becomes too much and I cover my ears, just hearing what they're really saying. Text reads: "We want to to die."

Me noticing a certain gem name and walking up to it in awe. The name reads "Chloe". Text reads: It took me a while, and I still, at least for now, use that name. Me holding the right name stone, happy. Text reads: Bur after a long and confusing journey, I finally found who I am, too.

Me walking up a hill, holding a pickaxe. Text reads: "You have no right to change your name, we gave it to you." See, you did give me it. Some may call it your "first gift" to me. Me standing in front of the entrance to a save labeled as "The Name Mine". Text reads: But that's your name for me. One chosen before I could speak, before I was myself. Me exploring the mines, passing by several gemstones with names in them. Text reads: My name, the one I chose, is not a declaration of hate. Nor is it throwing away the good you've done. But ****** isn't me, it never was. Me mining up a name gem that reads "Claire" and looking at it questioningly. Text reads: I know who I am now, I can speak for myself. My feelings are not tied to that name. They're tied to the actions you've done.

Panel one, showing an unhappy "boy" wearing clothes. Text reads: "There were no signs" until I hated wearing boys' clothing. Someone asks, "Do you like it?" The "boy" responds, "Uh... yeah..!" while thinking "Why do I feel so wrong?" The same "boy" laying in bed at night. Text reads: "There were no signs" until I fantasized about being a girl. The "boy" says, "If multiverses exist, it'd have been cool to be in the reality where in a girl. Maybe I'd be happier?" Two characters, one resembling the "boy", wearing read, and a girl not resembling anyone, also wearing red. Text reads: "There were no signs" until I rp'd as a girl any chance I could. Text boxes also read: "My first oc, hardly used later on. Based on "me"," and "Oc made years later, always used. She hates him." Me, finally as a girl, just sitting on a couch, saying, "Somebody telling you, "you had no signs", is simply crap. Simply sanding to be something different is a sign. Enough said."

Happy new year everyone. I hope this year, for what it's worth, is better.

2024 was really my best year, art wise. Even disregarding my comics, I drew more this year than I think ever, almost every piece I made for myself, I changed my style and even made a new one.

Overall, I'm happy
