I also grew up in post Soviet Russia and I had so much toxic shit internalised.
And yet, here I am.
People do change and a lot of stuff they think is their opinion is just something they wer told when they wer young by those they trusted.

OMG I hear you.
There was a time in my life, VERY long ago, when I genuinely believed that transmen were men who were bad to women in their past life, so now they need to learn how to be a woman.
I caught that from another very religious person who was my friend.
And I genuinely told myself that
Oh thank you!!!βΊοΈ
TBH, my artistic range and style variation make me scared that people might accuse me of using that art theft machine, but thankfully, I was all this all over the place with my drawings since forever, and LONG before all this fuckery started.
"How large is your artistic range?"
Me: "ouch"

A paperback copy of The Voice of Wild Places on a fallen log, situated in a ray of dappled sunlight that falls across the characters faces. The cover of The Voice of Wild Places by Noah Hawthorne. Two men stand on mossy rocks, surrounded by ferns and other tropical foilage. Blue butterflies are perched on the rocks at their feet. The man on the left has a cane tucked under his arm, and he stares at the world around him in wonder, an old 30s era camera held in his hands. He is dressed in boots, slacks, and a button down with rolled up sleeves and suspenders. His black hair is cut close on the sides, and long on top. He wears glasses, and has a joint dangling from his lips. The man on the right has a map stretched out between his hands, but he is staring at his companion with a fond and excited look on his face. He is dressed in boots, slacks, a button down with rolled up sleeves, and a waist coat. He has a satchel slung over his shoulder, and a knife strapped to his belt. He has short but shaggy brown hair, and is missing the tip of his left pinky finger.

We need this in EU as well.
I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"
Absolutely
Itβs something you get to get used to if youβre an artist
OMG this image is PERFECT. like literally the embodyment of a feeling...
Thank you so much for your support!
Thank you so much! After I got my MS flare I recovered enough to do work art without missing deadlines but personal art is something that feel impossible to do on the level Iβm used to. And itβs a very sad feeling.
Thank you so much! In fact, it always helps to get such lovely support. Yes, my brain is in denial of what you say is true, but my heart feels warmer anyway.
Right?!
And no matter how many times you've been through this, no matter how much you tell yourself that it's normal, it happens to all of us regularly, it will pass etc it still feels awful. And there's tull that little voice on the back of your head that says, "and what if this time it's true?"
Oh yeah...*hug*
