#egg crack

Obligatory ping at @degenerate-mystery-inc-whore for her appearance in this comic. The DS2 story is one of her favorites.

Honorable mention to Skyrim as well. I installed a Mod in my PC version that let me access a cave with custom items. One of them was a ring that changed your main character's sex. I would make a new file, head immediately to the cave, and then get the ring and wear it for the remainder of the game.

This led to a fascinating experience wherein I found a letter that an NPC was carrying that referred to me with female pronouns. I re-read that note a few dozen times. It made me feel something.

Anyways. I cracked 5 years later.

Reposted from Cohost. If she cannot hatch from her shell, the trans girl will die without ever truly being born. We are the trans girl; the world is our egg. If we don't break the world's shell, we will die without truly being born. Smash the world's shell, for the Transition of the World.

Yeah this bad boy? This is responsible for about 70% of my personality and influences my taste in music and media to this day.

thank you for drawing newly freshly cracked eggs as not immediately hyper fem and basically passing the way i see a lot of artists do. when my egg had just cracked i saw a lot of transfem egg art that was already so near-passing already and it made me feel dysphoric a lot. so thank you. your art is comforting four years into my transition and it would have been comforting in the first weeks as well

Yeah! I try to stay true to life. Each comic is drawn semi-accurately to my appearance in the mentioned time. You can also see the progress of my transition throughout the TWS series.

I gotta yap about how important I Saw The TV Glow is to me

Sorry if this is, like, fucking illegible.

So, I watched ISTTVG for the first time in September of 2024, when it went to streaming. I had been extremely excited about it because I saw the first trailer, and thought, “Hey, this is some Candle Cove type shit. I love Candle Cove!”

And in September of ‘24, i was beginning to have a bit of an identity crisis…

And I watched ISTTVG…

And oh boy…

It made the feelings sooooo much worse.

I normally watch horror movies as an escape of sorts. They’re comforting. Watching a horror movie is like, “hey, things might be bad, but at least they’re not THIS bad. At least you’re not getting eaten alive by zombies, or getting chased down by a serial killer,” or what have you.

I Saw The TV Glow basically told me, “things ARE this bad. The things these characters are going through? Same as you.”

It put the first crack in my egg.

I cried myself to sleep the night I watched it.

And I was in this awful funk for about three weeks. I didn’t know what or who I was. All I knew was I was not the person I thought I was.

Then I had a conversation with someone who became probably my coolest friend. That talk cracked the rest of my egg.

But I Saw The TV Glow started me down that path.

It’s the reason I am who I am now.

I could probably cite it as the reason I have so many friends. If it weren’t for that movie, I’d’ve probably repressed my identity problems, and I’d never have had that talk, and I’d never have made that friend, or any of the friends I’ve made through them.

I wouldn’t be on Tumblr.

I wouldn’t have all my dreams I have now.

I wouldn’t be happy.

I Saw The TV Glow is by far the most important and influential piece of media in my life. It’s my favorite movie of all time. It sickens me. It terrifies me. It’s beautiful and horrifying and does so many awful things to me.

It ruined my life.

It ruined my life for the better.

And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

THERE WERE NO SIGNS GUYS

I'm not kidding when I say that like a good 5/6ths of all my characters were women for YEARS seriously for years up to my realization I made, drew, wrote about, and ROLEPLAYED as girls!!! It's genuinely so funny to me how long it took for me to figure it out, me and my "oh I have so many female characters because I think they're interesting" and the me always graviting towards girls on the screen.

The version of my sona is actually based on its earliest form pre realization who was a twink you could actually just snap in half and I think I'll keep drawing pre my realization self as that version of Fang.

Maybe I'll do a few more comics like this there's a lot of funny egg moments I could make into one! Also they make me smile a bit in these trying times and maybe they could make someone else smile!
