It has been not even 2 hours and -jesus christ- I missed this site, there will never be another website like tumblr

Wow it’s been a year. I doubt that the transphobic moderation has gotten better but I missed Tumblr so here we are I guess

finding sapphic yearning on this site is both a blessing and a curse

on the one hand, it's vindicating to read about people with similar feelings to my own, who can word them so poetically while all I can muster on my own are vague uncomfortable emotions (which is to say, reading posts here help give those feelings release by providing words to them).

on the other hand, it can leave me feeling like a faker because I can't articulate my yearning and loneliness well on my own. it can amplify my loneliness because I know I'm feeling vicariously through the words of others.

I can analyze and dissect what various issues contribute to my isolation, but those problems seem insurmountable.

just want to end the post by saying that, in the end, I appreciate and adore the posts made by the sapphics here who are more articulate than I am.

Hi. Just a call to the void that I’d like to see more lesbians in media. Thank you.

Expecting every trans woman to become a full fledged voice actor to have their gender respected is bad actually

Comic, 5 Panels
Panel 1: A young boy, with brown hair holding a Godzilla toy. He is deep in thought. Caption: I was a perceptive kid. I was pretty young when I picked up on the (terrible) idea that men weren’t supposed to be emotional. Beside the boy, words written on a chalkboard outline his thoughts "Me = Boy, Boy + Time = Man, Man = Don’t Cry, therefore, Me = Don’t Cry"
Panel 2: The boy looks over toward the doorway, as shouting from another room frightens him. Caption: I also picked up on what happened in our household if I didn’t meet that expectation.
Panel 3: Robin, the older, transitioned to female version of the boy sits, leaning against a wall, and says "So, if something was too difficult for me to just deal with, a lot of the time I would kind of… ignore it."
Panel 4: The frame pulls back and we see Robin is leaning on a wall next to a mirror. Her younger, pre-transition teenage self is looking in the mirror while getting dressed. He is shirtless, and looking uncomfortably at his hairy, male physique. Robin, looking worriedly at her younger self, says "Like, say-, a deep, growing unease with my body and identity that came on so slowly and quietly that it’s only in retrospect that I can chart the crash of my self-worth during my teen years."
Panel 5: Closer on Robin, she looks toward the reader as she comments "You know. The usual."
Comic, 6 panels
Panel 6: Teenage Robin puts on a shirt, while Present Robin continues: "I didn’t fully know what I was feeling, but I sure knew I wasn’t supposed to be feeling it."
Panel 7: Teenage Robin smiles into the mirror, while Present Robin explains: "The answer was simple: “Actually, I don’t feel this!"
Panel 8: Close on Present Robin, who looks dead-eyed and remarks sarcastically "Truly a flawless approach."
Panel 9: Present Robin looks sadly downward and says "But honestly? I think I needed it."
Panel 10: Teenage Robin is walking out of the room, grabbing the door handle as he leaves. Present Robin starts standing, as she says, "Don’t get me wrong, I shouldn’t have had to go through it. But, realistically-"
Panel 11: Present Robin looks toward the door, holding one of her shoulders. The door closes with a "click" as Robin speaks, "When I was growing up- where I grew up- I think knowing what was wrong, and being unable to do anything about it, might have been worse."
Comic, 6 panels
Panel 12: Robin, arms crossed, speaks to the reader, "Thinking on my past, there’s a lot of “what ifs” And I can be pretty harsh on my younger self."
Panel 13: Robin gestures to a young version of herself, speaking to other kids with a shitty grin on his face. Present Robin says "Some of it’s deserved. I was kind of a little shit."
Panel 14: Robin is now next to another young version of herself, somewhere in her twenties. He looks troubled, staring down, a hand rubbing his neck as he sits in thought. Present Robin looks down at him, sadly and says "But I also think I can be a little too hard on him."
Panel 15: Present Robin looks up and starts to speak, "He-"
Panel 16: Robin stops speaking, and closes her eyes.
Panel 17: Present Robin looks back toward her younger self, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder as she says "She was doing her best."

Dealing With It

Don't take the final panels as some sweeping statement about how I think of or address my past self. I'll still call young me a guy sometimes, especially when it's funny. But when I think about how I dealt with my feelings, how long I kept everything I felt about my body and identity pushed down out of fear or denial, I try to be kind and think of the one doing that as a scared and confused girl who had so many things working against her, from inside and outside of herself.

I've tried to tackle this particular comic idea a few times now, from different angles and such. Even drew a couple that ended up being cut, rewritten, rearranged, or redrawn into this one, but I kept feeling like I didn't have it right. I think this is pretty close.

being at work while your personal life is falling apart has to be among the top 3 worst human experiences. You’re at your absolute lowest and someone wants to circle back on an email…… unreal
