Sometimes dysphoria isn’t clawing at your skin, wanting to rip it off to reveal the reptilian scales underneath, sometimes it’s just like “who tf is this ugly ahh monkey in the mirror ☠️”

A comic about the spectrum of responses to stress - we talk alot about the more extreme ends of this and trauma, but the more subtle and every day responses can be harder to spot. if we can understand our own and other’s responses better, problems Are easier to confront and blaming is less likely to happen :) hope it’s helpful!!
can I come over and look at u like this
just a reminder that dragon tummy is 1) fluffy and 2) free to rub. the dragon will appreciate it and purr and hug you
Confessions of a Rotten Girl is one of the most pro/darkship coded songs ever but yall ain’t ready for that conversation

Never unironically use “😂” or “🤣” instead of “😭” in a sentence I will absolutely make fun of you for it
hi!! just want to announce that requests are open!!!
I’m happy to draw ocs or canon characters :)
quick note: things might be a little slow because im juggling prep for artfight and school, so have patience!
Would you like to draw my sona? I can send you more refs if necessary! She's a silver-scaled ice dragon, pretty close to an icewing but she's got gills and a mane of fluffy silver hair. I'd love to see her in your style!
she’s so pretty!! thank you for trusting me with her, I hope i did her justice ^.^
OH MY GOD I'M GONNA CRY THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING I'VE EVER SEEN 🥺 THANK YOUUUUUUUUU
You 100% did her justice, this is gorgeous
shoutout to the words "overmorrow" and "ereyesterday". english losing these words was stupid. "the day after tomorrow" "the day before yesterday" clunky-ass constructions. revolting. i'm bringing overmorrow and ereyesterday back in my idiolect and there is nothing you can do about it
okay but the way shipping culture has gotten so bad to the point where people are literally AFRAID to say that they like a ship out of fear for their safety and possibly LIFE is truly saddening .
antis are really fucking funny i mean you'll be shipping adults😭😭 ADULTS and they'll be like UM THIS CHARACTER IS TEN YEARS OLDER SO LET'S NOT👆🤓. THERE FUCKING ADULTS😭😭😭
friendly reminder:
you are not a bad person for what you consume in fiction.
consuming fictional content does not mean you think the actions shown are okay to enact in real life.
you are not evil for reading, writing, drawing, watching, or otherwise engaging with dark fiction.
if you can separate fiction from reality in your mind, then you are not a bad person for consuming that fiction.
dont let anyone tell you you're gross, bad, weird, toxic, evil, predatory, or disgusting for exploring taboo topics in a safe setting.
good morning to everyone ever
even those with evil in their hearts? even them?
maybe if i say good morning enough the evil will leave their hearts,..
this is what it feels like to open your notifications after you posted what u thought would be a banger but youve only gotten 1 like
TRANS PEOPLE CONSIDERING SURGERY- READ THIS PLEASE GENUINELY I AM BEGGING YOU IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE
If you are getting gender affirming surgery, especially if it’s your first major surgery, PLEASE be aware that you can become SEVERELY depressed afterwards ESPECIALLY if you have a history of depression or suicidal ideation.
Post op depression is a natural reaction to the crazy mix of hormones your body goes through after major surgery as well as the stress and anxiety of recovery. Think of it like an adrenaline crash, but dragged out longer.
For me it kicked in about 6 weeks after top surgery and the worst of it lasted until about 10 weeks post op. EVERYTHING felt IMPOSSIBLE. None of the skills I’d been practicing worked. I thought everything was going to be bad forever. I didn’t attempt, but I was in the hospital. If it wasn’t for my support system I probably would have attempted.
This is not regret, but it can feel like it. I remain happy about my results to this day (going on six years later).
This is not you failing to maintain your mental health, but it can make you feel like a failure.
Things are not hopeless, but through the haze of this depression they can feel hopeless.
It can be terrifyingly sudden or it can sneak up on you. I didn’t even realize what was going on until after the depression finally passed and my mental health went back to normal.
I am writing this post because nobody told me about this before my top surgery. I was caught completely off guard. For my subsequent surgeries being aware has made all the difference. Being able to treat those symptoms as an expected and normal part of the healing journey has made them far easier to deal with. Because even when my emotions go to dark places I *know* they will pass. I have been able to tell the bad thoughts to take a bad seat and focus on healing.
PLEASE have a plan in place for if this happens. I know that this topic is taboo because of how often our mental health is weaponized against us, but I desperately want every single person getting gender affirming surgery to be aware of, and have a plan for post operative depression.
