Concepting outfit for chapter 3 and practicing coloring/lighting so I can help because coloring is wicked behind on 2. I kinda hate the process of it? But I might have to deal. #ocsky

I hate to use my bsky for this but a rude comment was made at my partner & I want to prove a point. #transmasc #transman #mascNB bsky: are you comfortable with being called a femboy? If there's more you want to say let it rip in the comments. strawpoll.com/7rnzV9qL6nO

For the trans people who has been lucy enough to avoid chasers- a chaser will not be gender affirming if you do meet one. They want to control your presentation. Treat you like fetish fuel. Every conversation will remove your agency. Attraction does not make one a chaser. Chasers are specific.

Normalize asking your trans friends if theyre comfortable with titles like "twink," "femboy," "sissy," "butch," or "tomboy" before just using them. THIS INCLUDES YOUR ANDRO + NB FRIENDS, NOT JUST BINARY TRANS PPL. And SUPPORT your peers who use these words themselves. Consent is important here.

This chaser weve been dealing with at work has been really fucking taxing. This isn't anything to do with the community idgaf what other people do.... But chasers have a place in hell waiting for them.

This poll is open for anyone who identifies on the masc spectrum. There will be no masc bashing. If you are okay with being called a femboy that is valid. I'm trying to prove to a co-worker that trans people are not a monolith because that seems to be the issue.

Coworker's neighbor abandoned their cat for a dumb reason (cat pooped on the floor after a major surgery). But hes fixed and has his shots so were gonna try and rescue him with our coworker. Unfortunately this neighbor doesnt want to help us. She says she feels guilty but clearly not enough.

More context. He had one small, enclosed litter box. We tried to push her to buy a larger open box before she dumped him. She decided that a 20 minute drive down a busy strip of road would be easier for her. Makes me fucking sick.

I love doing stuff like the left using tendrils (Im doing one with tape worms coming up here soon 💀). I'll use abstract imagery to represnt how emotions feel while manic. Sometimes I need to tone it down because if you run many abstract pages in a row it fucks with the pacing. The intent is impact.

Krispy@feathernotes.bsky.social

Comic tip for artists who struggle with layouts or making each page not so same-y: be less literal about where your characters are sometimes. Become more artsy with emotions they feel or information they share, you don't need them standing in the same room/position like a scene from a movie

I got the courage to talk to one of my cis coworkers about it and he confirmed that, yes, the dude chases and is a lot more open about it to cis guys.

Friction (Emergency Comms)@frictioncomic.com

I feel like it's extremely hard to prove that you're dealing with a tguy chaser to anyone outside of other t mascs. Chasers never ask. The never discuss relationships with gender even when you try to open that dialog. They have an image of what THEY want and will insist they know its right for YOU.

A lot of my friends who ARENT tguys assume infantilizing is ok because some trans men are into it (kink) but struggle to understand that you cant talk like that outside of those spaces without making everyone feel uncomfortable. The ones "into it" would agree that hes a no good chaser.

Idk why I encounter so fucking many. This one isn't chasing me specifically? (For once!) I can tell by how he addresses me vs when he talks abt other tguys. I dont like the language he uses for these tguys. Its kinda infantilizing. He seems afraid of me. I can be very authoritative irl.

But just because i scare him and hes too off put by my masc interests doesn't mean I want him creeping on my trans bros. If I could find his dating profile and warn every tguy in the county i would. Unfortunately the friend group doesn't understand that hes chasing.

I don't apply to Fan Expos because all my stuff is OCs and original stories and I don't think it fits the vibe. If I got in I'd be taking a table away from someone who has awesome fandom merch to sell. It should be the same in the other direction too.

This. People will boycott better written shows for less atrocious crimes. But the second its Harry Potter it's "muh nostalgia!"

logic or it didn't happen@antifunkaf.bsky.social

It's pointless to just *not watch* the hairy potter show; we need to *BOYCOTT HBO*. They pay rowling a ton of money, and she invests it in hate. Boycott is a real thing people can do, they did it with Disney+ in support of Jimmy Kimmel even.

I don't eat fast food a lot so sorry if this is old news...... Taco bells hot sauce isn't spicy? Diablo is the only one that has any heat and its closer to Frank's red. Flamin hot cheetos are hotter than their Fire sauce. So what the fuck is the point?

I'm not into the pain olympics/posturing that a lot of people do with their spice but if I'm having spice cravings I want my nose to run. I want to feel it in my throat. I don't need to shit flames or get ulcers. Idk man....
