new commission stuff because i am getting top surgery and its a bad financial decision

sorry my comms sheet is so ugly i am genuinely very bad at these things. maybe one day i will have a very pretty website set up for commissions but until then i use procreate like glorified google slides.

If you don’t feel like commissioning me but would still like to support me, i also have a kofi!!

i know folks are gonna call me a pedo for this one, but i grew up seeing my mom and grandma naked. they had health issues and at times needed care and help showering. and i truly think more kids need to be shown the nonsexual reality of naked women at a young age. there is nothing sexual about my grandmothers breasts, they were simply body parts. more women die of heart attacks because people are too afraid of breasts to do real chest compressions, because they are scared to touch their breasts. the sexualization of our bodies literally kills us. i need people to be more normal about naked bodies and i'm 100% serious.

#i grew up around a lot of casual nudity personally #it was never a big deal #still isn't #i don't bat an eye when someone removes their shirt or something #i absolutely agree that more families should treat body parts as what they are #body parts. nonsexual #the idea we must cover ourselves up brings upon too much shame #like not to mention all the women who neglect gynelogical problems out of fear or shame #or even just blatant misunderstanding on how their bodies work. because not everyone knows enough!!#hell i have gynelogical issues i wasn't even able to talk about out loud until a couple years ago #and i didn't even grow up in a shame breeding environment at home

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

the belief i have in my ability to carry any amount of stuff home if i am equipped with my backpack and two reusable totes is hubristic to a degree that the achaeans fighting at troy could only have dreamed of

Falin!

I wanted to try this thing with monthly fanart polls. For now the polls and suggestions are only awaible on my telegram, but I'm planning to make this thing exclusive for my patreon followers. But it needs time, since there's not so many people yet, so I'm like testing it! ^^
