IDK I think if cis men are being told that being fat will lower their testosterone and make them Insufficiently Masculine, and cis women are being told that being fat will raise their testosterone and make them Excessively Masculine, and fat trans people are being denied the right to medically transition if they're fat, and thin trans people are warned against HRT because it will make them fat (and this is said about both testosterone and estrogen HRT), and androgynous-presenting people are told that only thin people count as androgynous...

Then maybe...

Maybe...

Maybe the weight loss industry is just using Gender to enforce fatphobia.

When I was 16, I went to the doctor for widespread, full body pain. My doctor took one look at me and dismissed my medical concerns as a purely hormonal issue. According to her, my natural, unshaven legs were "abnormally hairy" for a girl my age. She ignored everything I had to say and ignored me to a gynecologist.

Just hours later, I was hospitalized for my pain, which was now accompanied by a fever and a heart rate of 160 BPM. I was confused and disoriented, and every blood test pointed towards high levels of inflammation. The doctors, in their report, attributed my symptoms to sepsis.

That wasn't my first time experiencing transphobia in American healthcare hell, but it is by far the most obvious example. My doctor didn't care that I was in pain. She only cared that I, a nonbinary teenager with an F on their birth certificate, didn't meet her expectations of femininity.

This is why it pisses me off when people tell me I'm not really trans, or that I don't experience transphobia as a nonbinary person. I could have fucking died that day, purely because my doctor couldn't see past my nonbinary identity and gender expression.

I wanted to do something with an even tinier babier Skully, except I couldn't figure out how to lead into it...

...so to heck with it. they fell through a time portal or something. it's not important, don't worry about it ⏳

[egophiliac]

I don't how long it will take for someone to ask and I'm already holding back the laughter as I'm typing... is Goodman Timothy named like this bc of Tim Burton?

no shade to Mr. Burton, I just needed a name and his was right there for the taking! 🤷 and isn't taking things thematically appropriate for them anyway?

that segue worked better in my head

[egophiliac]

Awww baby Skully is so cute, but what about Swing now, we deserve to see his little form too 😭

au where a little fantasy-puritan boy wanders into the woods and meets a scrungly fae, Halloween will never be the same 🎃

re-emerging from the underworld like a Cerberus 🐾

fantastic. i love it. i posted this after my wife said it yesterday and as i was doing it i was like "this can't be an original thought. as soon as i hit post someone's going to say 'you stole this from a tweet from 2014' and i'll say 'no, i stole it from my beautiful wife.'"

[egophiliac]

Is Swing an orphan like Skully in your AU? Because I really wanna know what happened to Swing’s parents (or if he even had them)

honestly, I feel like any attempts at a Swing origin story should answer nothing and raise more questions. the only concrete part is that it involves a lot of bugs...somewhere...in there. the rest? maybe it's better we don't find out.

It's hilarious just how badly Lilia's plan to Run Away and Die Alone backfired

you gotta wonder what exactly he thought was going to happen...

I really love the npc's in the newest update, and i was wondering what you thought of them! I love your art of certain npc's that catch your interest

what a fool I was for saying we weren't going to get any new characters in chapter 3, because those were some A+ excellent supporting mobs. they deserved sprites. >:( ...although that does mean that there's nothing stopping me from adopting Clair and Taris (Talis?) as the IgniPom duo from the 2024 New Year Beyblade Tournament. that's them to me now. congrats on getting screentime and voices, guys!

[egophiliac]

less literal than it maybe should be, but there was a bunch of stuff I wanted to try to get in there, and eventually I just had to call it done. :U (...for now) (we'll see how it goes)

anyway I'm continuing to enjoy this RSA time! they really are on a totally different plane of emotional existence than we're used to from these guys, aren't they.

a night on the town, terrible roommates edition

(the senior citizen discount joke was originally going to be about kids-eat-free instead, except then I realized that there was no way I could picture them running that scam except this:)
