Howdy, howdy!! Name's Pumnion (he/they/it), I'm a hobbyist artist, career carpenter/cabinetmaker, fanfiction writer, and aspiring animator here on Tumblr. A few of my interests are:
Digital and Traditional art
2d Animation
Woodworking
Video Games
Reading and Writing
This blog is my main blog, and this mostly consists of random reblogs with the occasional post from me. If you want my art specific blog, then @pumnionportfolio is where you'll find me. It has my commission information + previous artworks I've done.
My fandoms include:
How to Train Your Dragon
Wings of Fire
Transformers
HLVRAI
Skyrim
And more. I am socially anxious but I love talking to people ^^ My online situation is hectic at best, so if I disappear for a while, it's nothing against anyone.
I do not support Generative AI/LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, etc) and would prefer my works to not be used to train these models. I also do not support racism or bigotry of any kind, including but not limited to: TERFs, ICE/Trump supporters, etc.

listen. if your mutual suddenly starts referring to The Character with different pronouns, you must go along with it. that character is trans now. theyâre right.
We were doing an activity where the kids got to make a playbill for a musical about themselves and all the other kids were like âcharacter list: mommy, daddy, me, my brother, my best friendâ âscenes: I get a puppy, first day of school, my baby sister is bornâ
But one little girl was like âoh, itâs a musical about ME you sayâ and the character list was all the other girls in the class cast as her body parts, and a story about how her body works.
âKaylee is nice so she will be the heart. Lily is my kidneys. Sapphire is the lungs.â
She surreptitiously showed me that the girl who kept taking the crayons she was using was cast specifically as âleft buttcheekâ and I had to pretend like that wasnât the funniest thing Iâd ever seen.
I haven't seen it talked a lot about, but I think there's more to childhood abuse that haunts us than just "that's who raised you during your developmental years." Like, yes, that person/those people were who were our "pillars" as we slowly became an individual. Sure, the memories haunt us when we think we finally move on, and it sinks into our dreams until we can't even recognize a nightmare simply because "that's just another dream situation I'm used to". Some "pillars" crumble later in our lives, leaving us struggling to rebuild for ourselves. Others have a pillar that was broken to begin with, that was crumbling before you even knew what it meant, where you had to live building your own pillars.
But there's that sickening thing about when your entire person was built on a foundation that refuses to give.
When you laugh, and it sounds like their laughter.
When you say something and can hear them in your voice, your tone, the very way you phrase things.
Hand gestures, tiny habits, all the things that are exactly the things they did. Not what they made you do, but their own unique quirks and behaviors that you imprinted on, and now it's a part of you that you don't even notice until it happens and you flinch from yourself, until you realize what you've done and suddenly feel sick.
Yeah I'm broke asf and I need tires for my truck + some money for my upcoming competition (bc I wanna be able to eat during the five days I'll be there). So! First time ever doing this for actual money. I'll post examples of my art at the very bottom of this, but you can also check out the rest of this blog. I use ibisPaint X for most of my artwork and will be using Toonsquid for my animations.

The rule could have heavy impacts towards trans people across society.
Last week, the Trump administration quietly released a sweeping new federal rule that would use funding threats to force institutions across the country to reject transgender people. The 400-page proposed regulation would codify the administration's anti-trans executive orders into binding federal policy, imposing a blanket prohibition on federal funds going toward "gender ideology"
The proposed rule, formally titled "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance," rewrites the government-wide framework governing all federal grants across every agency. Among its most consequential provisions, it requires that before a federal grant recipient can receive money, the award must pass a "pre-issuance review" conducted by a political appointeeânot a career expert or peer reviewerâto ensure it is "consistent with applicable law, Federal agency priorities, and the national interest." The regulation explicitly instructs these appointees to screen for "denial by the recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic." [...] An institution that acknowledges transgender people existâthrough its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processesâcould be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to âsupport the notion that sex is mutableâ and have its federal funding blocked.
Importantly, the gender ideology prohibition has no age limitationâhospitals could be targeted not just for providing care to minors but for providing gender-affirming care to adults, because prescribing hormone therapy to a transgender patient of any age could be deemed promoting the belief that "sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic."
This is all very bad and horrible, but I want to be clear that itâs worse and more sweeping than just eliminating trans research.
This torches everything. And I do mean everything.
A very abbreviated list of its ramifications include (but are not limited to):
ending funding for ALL DEI related initiatives
allowing the government to terminate grants at any point for any reason
preventing researchers from publishing, going to conferences, and being part of academic societies
requiring that topics must support the presidentâs agenda.
What this means, and if anything Iâm under selling it, is the death of science and research in America. It allows the government to restrict any topic they please at a whims notice, putting officials who have no background in the topic in charge of deciding funding continuity. It controls what gets researched and if/how researchers are allowed to share their discoveries. There are no books to burn if the government never allows them to be written. This is fascism plain and simple.
Please, if you only ever write one public comment, this is the one to do.
Bringing back this guide to writing an effective public comment. This gives you the basics you need to know, what you need to include, a basic outline you can follow, etc.
Public comments are not a vote, it is a chance for you to say "here is an issue with this law I think you need to address" and provide justification for legal challenges if it goes forward:
"Comments raise the bar that agencies have to meet when making a rule; âif an agency fails to adequately respond to significant, relevant comments in a final rule, members of the public may seek to challenge the rule in court on that basis and claim it could be struck down.ËŽ"
But also, if possible, don't stop at writing a comment. Don't stop at calling your representatives. You should ideally be talking to people in your community about this and organizing resistance on-the-ground; there is a good chance people are already doing that even if you aren't hearing about it.
Some added 101-level context from someone (me) whoâs worked in federal grantmaking for 20 years and is literally certified on this document - this is a document that governs all federal grantmaking. Itâs been around for over a decade and is a mega-document that combine multiple previous smaller documents that have been around for ages. It is updated every few years and generally the updates are minor - a notable change in the previous update was raising the small procurement threshold from $10,000 to $15,000 for example. Deeply dry boring minutiae that no one outside of federal grantmakers need concern themselves with. It was also federal GUIDELINES, which means there was flexibility.
This yearâs is different. They are now federal REQUIREMENTS, which means thereâs no flexibility. As was said previously, the 400 pages are not singularly devoted to being absolute shitheads to trans people. Theres a lot of stuff in there, some of which is the standard dry boring grants stuff, some of which is the horrible ideological warfare outlined above.
This document is issued by the OMB, the Office of Management and Budget, which is currently lead by fucking Russell Vought, the principal architect of Project 2025. This is how theyâre going to implement all the horrible shit in there that wasnât covered by Executive Order. Russell Vought is actively coming for my job, my marriage, and my kid, and most of my friends lost their jobs last year because of him. He is the fucking arch villain behind the heinous shit the current regime is doing.
So yes, please comment. You donât have to read all 400 pages before doing so, itâs dry and dense as fuck, but I thought this information might be helpful. Also, while there is a public comment period, this isnât voted on by Congress. The OMB just fucking issues it. Pressuring your elected officials into publicly saying âhey what the fuck are you doing hereâ is good, though.
Please note the comment period is open through JULY 13th, not JUNE 13th. I saw a lot of relogs yesterday saying "last day!" and I just want to say it is very much not too late.
As of today, 7/8/26, we have five days for public commentary on this to go through. I am begging y'all: if you care about independent science in the country that produces the most global science funding in the world, please leave a comment.
