Someday, I’ve got to try doing some pixel art. It’s got a unique feel all its own that I’ve always liked.

This is neither here nor there, but I am tired as hell of the word ‘maxxing’ and all of its variants. I swear, they put those two x’s in there to make it seem bigger, somehow.

I’m trying really hard to get back to writing and drawing comics, because, well, that’s my thing. Self-validation, and all that.

Really the best thing to come out of the whole Marvel media juggernaut, imo. Tom Hiddleston carries that show, and yes, best production design evarr

I’m working on translating a novella I wrote into comics. I’m still planning out what goes where, without drawing much of anything yet, but I’m finally working again, and the more I do, the better I feel about it.

yeah 💅🏻

The only Marvel thing I’ve enjoyed, start to finish, was the Loki show on Disney plus, and even that had a weirdly bloated second season with several episodes that were just very expensive padding.

No lie, that capsule looks fantastic!

I’d hoped the Strange movies would be better. I always liked the weird trippiness of some of the original comics. The first movie was okay, but the second one’s constant spoon-feeding of plot to the audience, like some lame Netflix thing on in the background, ruined it for me.

I watched the first few Marvel flicks, just out of curiosity. Utterly loathed Tony Stark and his fast-talking patter. Steve Rogers caught my eye, because I always lean towards earnest sincere lawful good types. But then he gave up everything for his one-armed boyfriend, and that was it for me.

The Marvel people figured out how to translate that experience to movies, and boy howdy are they good at it.

I used to read Marvel comics. I gave up when I realized that every issue, every single issue, was just an elaborate trailer for the *next* issue, and a tie-in, a spin-off, a limited series. Characters never grew, nothing really changed. Nobody even stayed dead.

I just took a quick look through your feed, and I can see the difference from just a few months ago. Also, love the glasses. :)

Happy 4/20!

happy lesbian week

Yeah. I’m a fiftyish entry level geezer over here, completely relate

I’ve never been ashamed about being trans. Mostly, I’m embarrassed that I’m doing such a half-assed job of it.

I’m sorry you feel bad, but thank you for sharing those selfies every day. Your expression, be it a positive contentment, or a stoic resignation like today, always cheers me up.

I do feel a lot better that I’m on this side of it, at least.

I still have problems with pronouns. I have a hard time calling myself a ‘she’, even though I’m 100% sure I’m not a ‘he’. It feels weird, like I haven’t earned the right, or something. Cultural brainwashing, I guess.

Sometimes, I feel really dumb. Dumb for thinking I’m anything like the cool people on here, even though I know everything in my head is pointing me in this direction

I’m still in kind of a holding pattern. Taking baby steps, here and there. I look at all the folks on here, and I cycle between amazement, envy, and vicarious joy for others making their goals

When it comes to the trans experience, I was in the ‘I know it but don’t believe it/won’t admit it’ stage for, jesus, twenty years, at least. I finally got to ‘I believe it but not sure what to do about it’ seven or eight months ago.

truly i think my main takeaway is always just that the world is already so fucking mean to trans women we really. really. really. really. really. do not need to add to that meanness towards those who are in the most vulnerable period of their adult lives.

@impossiblephd.bsky.social , this might be relevant to your interests

I've tried sleeping in bonnets and other things to try and fix this, but ultimately, they all either do the same thing or are too tight to be comfy. As such, my bed head continues to reign. Lol
