this was supposed to be  a three part piece with these designs being the last small doodle part but as per usual i spent way too long on these and didn’t have the energy/patience to finish the other two drawings (in which these two are very close and intimate 😔) (obviously not nsfw)

i forgot the trans pin on trixie(the rat girl)’s bag please don’t smite me

rose piper -- "young woman's blues" (ca. 1947)

"for many of the disadvantaged today there is little or no belief in the promise of a better life. for many, escape to 'freedom' or 'paradise' is drugs, short term riches, and violence" … rose piper

"woke up this mornin' when chickens was crowin' for day and on the right side of my pillow, my man had gone away by his pillow he left a note readin', 'i'm sorry, jane, you got my goat no time to marry, no time to settle down'" … bessie smith

"when a woman gets the blues, she goes to her room and hides when a woman gets the blues, she goes to her room and hides but when a man gets the blues, he catches a freight train and rides" … trixie smith

"'scuse me, but i gotta train to catch" … al janik
