So I broke my glasses. Whoops. Good news is that if you want to snag a commission, now's an excellent time because everything's half off while I try to pay for new glasses and an eye exam. So if you want to help a trans man be able to see stuff without squinting all the time, send me a message and we can work things out :)

called an "it" for being trans and queer, called an "it" for being disabled. no matter what we do, we'll always be creepy and scary and gross to people who lack any form of decency or kindness.

and you know what? good. they SHOULD be afraid. part of my intent behind using it/its for myself IS reclamation. people who would call us "it" out of anger or fear deserve to have that (and all) power over us stripped away.

its not just the pronouns for me either, it's the imagery. they want to think of me as something to be feared? ok, i'll fuckin be one! whatever i like halloween bullshit anyway. this just gives me an excuse to indulge in a creepy aesthetic more.

Artfight attacks so far! Characters belong to Velvetclaw33, iitisjaii, @sagewing (my best fren), and @hippie-dingo

Suicidal people will always exist and people who will always be suicidal exist and that is not inherently an issue that needs to be solved. But it becomes an issue when people are forced into it. Currently, suicide prevention involves institutionalizing suicidal people, telling them that they must survive, by any means possible, but so many of them have been told the opposite for their entire lives, implicitly or otherwise. Suicide prevention should involve working to improve society, making it a livable and survivable place for all people. Only then will the autonomy of suicide be achieved. Otherwise, so much of it is social murder.
