[bramblepurr]

hi tumblr this is me using this word in a good way hehe <3

been thinking about hair i want and clothes i want and how i’ve been scared away from it bc ppl have been weird about it to me. i am very much so a binary man. i don’t want my fun fruitcake-ness to allow people to covertly misgender me either out-loud or in their minds or to see me as less binary for whatever reason. anyways here’s willow about it

[bramblepurr]

never posted this zine i made for class! it’s about music and served as a sorta “what do i want to do for this course” experiment :)

[bramblepurr]

i made a zine for uni!

this is the manifesto of the band my ocs r in - charm! i’m currently working on playlists for all the members + the band itself :] teehee

ig version

reasons behind each point below the cut!

MAKE BAD ART. NO, WORSE THAN THAT. (don’t stop yourself from doing something out of fear of being bad at it/not having a perfect product)

STOP MAKING SUCH SAFE, UNTHREATENING ART. (inspired by a journal article i read! be authentic and unmarketable)

PROVE THAT YOU EXIST. THE TRUE YOU. (don't live a lie or a half life - also be transgender)

IT WON'T BE PRETTY. AUTHENTICITY IS EVERYTHING. (authenticity and actually saying something important over marketability and appeal)

KILL YOUR IDOLS. KILL YOUR FANS. (don't force yourself to be someone you're not or hold too high a standard - but also refuse to be idolised and don't do something for the sake of idolisation and continued support - again, authenticity and not bending to the will of marketisation)

DON'T WAIT FOR A SIGN. THIS IS IT. (also inspired by the sentiment of 'don't die wondering' - don't wait around for something to give you permission to do something)

STOP FUCKING DESPAIRING AND MOPING. GET UP, COWARD. GET YOUR HEAD OUT THE SAND. GET RADICALISED. (they want you to think you're powerless, not rock the boat, fear things getting worse - resist that, stop helping them. also u should be a communist)

wanted to post images. i drew my cat on christmas eve and saw some company with a triforce logo when me n fern stopped for food on our way back to leeds on the 30th :)

[bramblepurr]

you there! read my comic! 🫵🐱

[id: the cover for op’s comic, rosetinted. the background is a pale pink, with the foreground being op’s character, beau, looking around his shoulder with a star next to his face, looking a little worried. beau is a chubby asian man with long fluffy hair.]

rosetinted is a 26 page comic by ME! it is my final project for my final year doing my bachelors at uni!! it’s once-removed autobiographical, as in using an oc i project a lot onto. it’s mostly about dependence: on compulsions, on habits, on others, you get the idea. but it’s also about hope. you’re not doomed.

as it is a 26 page comic - i’ve been struggling to write image descriptions. so i guess this is also an appeal for help with that? but yes - unfortunately i don’t have descriptions for it yet, hence why i’ve only posted it to insta right now!

here’s the link! (split into 3 parts)

[id: a standing full body reference of juno lovelle, op’s oc. she’s a chubby transfem that wears a striped brown sweater, a long dark brown skirt with a white lace hem, white socks, and black boots. she has pale skin and dark ginger/red hair in a wolfcut style at shoulder length. she also has rectangular glasses, a slight tooth gap, and freckles.]

🌗🍊 my take on moonpaw!!! v v excited for her :] i love torties/calicos so she’s right up my alley design-wise <3

[id: a coloured digital artwork of moonpaw from warrior cats. she’s a young, fluffy chimera tortie she-cat. she has a white muzzle, front paws, chest and belly. the right side of her face is black while the other is ginger with a white patch. her body is mostly black, her tail entirely, with some ginger splotches. her left eye is green and her right is amber. she’s pictured on a simple blackground of a cloudy blue sky and grass.]

💕🃏 t4t zelink dooble i did while working!! had to redraw tarot cards :] i’m acc pretty happy w how this turned out considering the limited materials i had ehe

[id: a traditional coloured pen drawing in pink, light and dark blue. the piece is a redraw of the ‘the lovers’ tarot card. the trans symbol is in the middle at the top of the card, shining like the sun. link and zelda stand on grass, link on the left and zelda on the right. the two are reaching their hands out to each other. link is a transmasc and zelda a transfem]
