I think Tumblr sent a PM reply I drafted out five times, all differently worded as I tried to calm down, collect my thoughts and revise over and over for every error message

I’ve learned not to let this affect me as much as it used to but this is probably going to be a cause for random bouts of anxiety in the near future, I can feel it. Social Media and PMs are Hard

this is kinda a weird question but have you ever considered making an artbook with your concept type art? your oc designs really inspire me and i would love to own a book of your stuff

I might need more material for it, but I’m honored you’d think so!

Hello japhers! Uh, do you know a lot about tarot cards? I did the little tarot card birthday thing and got 2 cards i dont understand, and my friends keep teasing me about them but i dunno why

I usually just know generic meanings, though- ones that can be researched online! If you need expert advice on how they might relate to each other it might be best to approach someone else, but if you really just need surface-level explanations there’s Wikipedia and BiddyTarot for card meanings!

SOOOO ive been following u for a while and im just wondering if youve ever posted a selfie?? and if not would you? :0

I have!

im asking bc im just genuinely curious but ur faq says ur a cis guy, so how come u use he and they pronouns? :0

gender and presentation are all fluid and sometimes I don’t feel as much of an attachment to masculine pronouns as I feel that I should!

I also can’t deny that I still heavily lean towards being cis and that this sorta thing comes with privileges I have to check and views I have to reflect on once in a while, so I go with that :>

I've seen examples of Lolita fashion!! It looks so elegant and wonderful, I had no clue there was a subset of it that looks a little more masculine! I mean, as much as I love the poofy dresses and intricate outfits, I think it'd be a little weird for a trans guy to be wearing them. Especially around friends who think showing one sign of liking 'girly' stuff immediately disproves me actually being trans. So thank you a bunch for introducing me to this style!! I'll have to learn more about it!

aww fam I’m glad to have helped! maybe someday all trans folks will finally be able to wear clothes they like without having to worry about dysphoria or being invalidated by peers but while that’s still not a thing in most places I’ll be here to help out however I can on the fancy fashion department ^u^

Oh wow, you look really lovely in shades of dark blue and black!! What style of clothes is that? It looks really interesting, I'd love to see more examples of it! :D

thank you ;///u///;

it’s Ouji fashion, which comes as a subset or sister style to Lolita fashion (which is in no way related to the Vladimor Nabokov novel). They are Japanese fashion subcultures inspired by Victorian/Rococo period outfits and with the fashion slowly getting western and global fanbases I guess it’s safe to say the influences have gone full circle!

the black and blue’s just a personal preference- I wanted to make sure I could match the stuff I bought with a lot of the stuff I already have on hand so I could mix the items around a bit ^u^
