HI I haven't posted art in SO long because all I've drawn for the past 2 years have just been the characters (especially the main character, pictured above) of my boyfriend's @asingularstar book that they've been working on.

However! They finally decided to post part 1 of it publicly, so I decided to start posting my art about it too!

So I decided to start with the one they used as a cover! It's a wonderful story that I haven't been able to stop obsessing over for two years now, so if you're ever interest in checking it out, you can download the pdf for free in this link :)

And I'll be posting my art about it under the tag The Star's Shadow, which is the name of the book.

things not to say when someone tells you they’re having a baby, from a transgender autistic guy named Algernon who has experienced a lot of trial and error:

Why? I know this is the question you want to ask. You are not allowed to ask it. I’m not sure why it’s frowned upon but you can’t.

You should name it after me. Not funny. No one laughs. A selfish statement that takes the attention off the pregnant party and shifts it to you. This joke is a flop, save it for the next pet they get.

Is it mine? It’s not mine. I have no testicles. If there is a possibility it is yours, they’ll tell you. Probably. No one wants an interrogation in this moment.

my dear legend Algernon, just "Why?" is actually hilarious and i promise it will be used

I think it's actually essential to children's moral development to be exposed to short stories moderately beyond their reading level where a bunch of fucked up shit happens and then instead of offering a moral lesson or any sort of emotional or narrative resolution it just ends.

personally I am of the opinion that vegans who are like “the way our food system currently works under capitalism on a large scale is exceptionally cruel to all animals including humans and is not sustainable, so I’m doing what I can to make the most ethical choices available to me about what I eat and encourage others to do the same” are generally very reasonable people who I agree with in spades. but vegans who seem to think human beings are not themselves animals who are ultimately also part of the food chain but instead some kind of other paternalistic higher entity that can never engage in ethical and sustainable hunting practices (and especially the fringe I’ve seen who think other carnivorous animal predators are also evil and need to be eliminated) are people I regard as foolish at best if not actively anti-indigenous and racist
