Im Pidge / Sol, a queer autistic librarian who likes telling stories. Im a debut author and have a duology series named ‘Probe Of Gaia’ (the first book will be named 'Grave Experience’) that i am currently working on.
It involves active parts Past, and Future of colliding into one Present. A true mix of past hubris, present discovery, and future greed from characters and world. Below is a Synopsis, Table of Contents, and a link to the (3 page) foundational Prologue. (looking for agent)
drop kicking in to counteract that kink shaming anon to say that i think it's actually super cool and awesome and really helpful that you draw tranmascs pregnant as much as you do
growing up on the internet in the early - mid 2010s my only exposure to men being pregnant was mpreg... and i'm sure we all know what the majority of that was. it made me see men's pregnancy as inherently sexual and fetish-y, and thus as a sex repulsed ace the whole concept made me extremely uncomfortable, even when it was painted in a normal light.
but you're the first artist i've personally seen draw characters that are masc/androgynous and treat it as just... a normal and casual thing that happens. i don't know the character that the other anon was talking about, but seeing your pregnant raine drawings has helped me get out of the mindset that transmasc pregnancies can only be sexual (and obviously it's fine if a transmasc gets pregnant for sexual reasons but still)
i never wanna get pregnant (not even just cuz of the possible dysphoria), but i can at least see transmascs be pregnant and not get immensely uncomfortable. still got a bit to go admittedly, but your art's been really helpful. so, y'know, thanks for that ^^
My husband’s job primarily employs adult men but there is one (1) teenage girl and my husband said originally he worried she might be a bit of an outcast but instead every man on the crew was like “huh guess I am a dad/older brother now.”
She was in a car crash on the way to work one morning and called my husband to let him know she’d be late and he was like wtf guess I’m gonna be late too because I’m coming to pick you up and then he told his team and they were like I think you mean WE are coming.
Imagine you are a teenage girl probably rushing to get to work and you crash your probably new car and feel absolutely miserable and now you’ll be late to work but then suddenly in the distance a car full of all the adult men you work with just pulls up and is like “we came all the way here to pick you up” the mental image right now is fr.
Apparently she tried to call her dad but it was 3am and he was obviously sleeping so she called my husband and he not only came to find her but fished her glasses out of the hood of the car (she’d dropped them while looking inside), drove her to the hospital, and told her to take the day off. She insisted on coming back to work so he used his lunch break to watch TV with her to make sure she didn’t doze off (concussion risk).
You’ve heard of the Mom friend but my husband is very much the Dad friend. He said when he answered the phone she said “hey please don’t be mad” and he’s never felt such powerful Fatherhood energy in his life.
Girl: *calls for aid*
Every single dad packed into the car:
This is possibly my favorite response to this post
People don’t go to youtube to see their grandma’s latest thought, they go to facebook. people don’t go to twitter to see unrealistic beauty standards, they go to instagram. people don’t go to tik tok to sell their old couch, they go to facebook or ebay. variety of platforms is important. you can’t have an “all in one” because then your main purpose will be abandoned so you can focus on other features and then people will inevitably move to a different platform where they actually focus on the features that they came for.
trans people i’m happy you’re alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i’m so glad you’re here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! keep doing your best!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
