A thank you message to all of those who have donated, commissioned, or spread the word on THIS: http://irishime.tumblr.com/post/119063740350/irishime-okay-guys-so-look-i-really-hate-to

Please continue to help support us in any way you possibly can. Reblogs and donations of any size are greatly appreciated. Evios is also nearly through his current commission cue as well.

[Different guys have different sized dicks - and that’s fine. People talking about ‘small dicks’ in general isn’t a bother to me. Except that it’s usually used as an insult in order to put a guy down.

What is bothersome is seeing this little ‘gag’ running in multiple circles, about Kaz having a small dick.

First of all, it feels racist as fuck to be like ‘ha ha Kaz obvsly has a small dick, because he is half-Japanese’. Yeah, real classy.

Second, Kaz is kind of an effeminate man in a lot of ways - he’s got long pretty hair, thick eyelashes, (handsomely) beautiful eyes, and rosy full lips. It makes me feel comfortable that one can have all these attributes, and yet Kaz’s ‘maleness’ is never put into questioned. Because, these are a lot of the things that I worry about not being able to pass because of. So people suddenly throwing out there things like ‘Kaz has a small dick, pass it on’ and ‘it’s no bigger than my pinky finger’ and ‘I can’t even feel it when he puts it in’. YEAH. That stuff is fucking triggering. I shouldn’t even have to explain why except;

Third, getting anons asking “is it really that small?” or “how do you please a woman if it’s really that tiny??” is the last straw. This is where I draw the line. Because obviously it’s moved from ‘Some Kaz muse out there has a small dick, pass it on’ to ‘So I hear /YOUR/ Kaz muse has a small dick??’ - which is, not okay by me. Not okay by me at all.

[ Just as an FYI, the “Kaz has a smoll dick” joke isn’t funny.

For someone who is still trying to navigate transitioning to male ( and RPs as Kaz ) it is actually incredibly triggering and makes me feel dysphoric as fuck.

The day before yesterday I actually broke down crying because of this business, on top of all of the other crazy things going on in my life.

Okay guys, so look - I really hate to ask for donations, but this is super important. The very very short version: TWO TRANS YOUNG ADULTS NEAR HOMELESS HERE!

It’s only just struck me how dire of a situation I’m in. Currently I am finishing up the last 3 months of a BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) in Illustration. After that time I was originally slated to move home and live with my parents for a few months until I can get a job and on my own two feet.

I am planning on flying out to help my boyfriend ( evios ) pack up his things and move here, to Idaho, with me. Here’s where the plan hits several snags:

1) I have very limited funds, I am a college student, and I don’t have a job at this moment. School is my full-time job. Once I get a job, I wont be able to take the time off to fly down and help him pack up. I am going to try and buy my tickets within the next few days but even buying tickets TODAY for around AUGUST is going to cost about $1000.

2) I was JUST informed my parents are moving to an apartment in 2 weeks, and WILL NOT have room for even me, much less my boyfriend and myself. In short. As soon as I graduate, I am literally going to be homeless. I have no car, and no license. I cannot drive. I don’t know where I am going to go or what I am going to do.

My boyfriend ( evios ) is currently living in a very toxic environment. His mother constantly misgenders him, in spite of knowing the way he identifies and which name to call him. His father is currently unaware because evios is afraid that if he finds out he’ll throw him out of the house on the spot. His mother is being very manipulative about trying to keep him there, in-spite of the living situation causing him to feel frequently suicidal.  His parents WILL NOT HELP with the moving costs, at all. They will refuse to send him things in the post, and possibly even deny taking us to the airport so we might have to hail a taxi. evios himself does not currently have a job (largely because he has no transport, his mother sabotages opportunities for him to get a job, and writing down “female” on applications makes him extremely uncomfortable). I AM ALL ON MY OWN in paying for this.

I, myself, am bigender and am currently wanting to present as predominantly male. I can’t start transitioning just yet however, due to going to a religious school. I just have to wait it out for three more months. I am out on tumblr but not on DA or even to my family just yet. I don’t exactly know how all of them are going to take it, but... I DO imagine that my father’s side of the family is going to write me off completely. I pretty much know that for a fact.

If I scrimp and I save, I can possibly cover the airfare. But that is it. We will have no money, no jobs, and no home. This is why we need help.

==================== OUR GOAL IS $1000 USD====================

With $1000 we would have enough money to comfortably fly him here and out of my own pocket I’d have enough money for rent in either a very small house or apartment. I am going to see about contacting the local LGBTQ Resource (“The Community Center” aka TCC - http://tccidaho.org/ ) in trying to rely on their help for home and job placement, but - we cannot do it alone. your donations/commissions would SERIOUSLY be such a help in giving us a chance at starting out our life together.

My commissions have been closed due to college, and I am not eager to open them back up again when I do not have the time to work on them, currently. I am going to open up slots for this however, but mind you I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WORK ON THEM UNTIL JULY 24th!!! (The day after my graduation):

EVIOS IS ALSO OPEN FOR COMMISSIONS!! He is available to take work on RIGHT NOW!! Check out evios’ prices BELOW:

+ Paypal for either one of us is: [email protected]

+ Message either one of us on tumblr or DA (DA handles are the same as our Tumblrs).

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING. EVEN IF IT IS JUST $1 WE COULD DESPERATELY USE THE CHARITY!! We are human beings, not machines. To reach that $1000 goal, we are going to need to rely on the kindness of others, and not just commission work alone.

[email protected] is my paypal, and the money in it is ONLY going to be used for “Operation move Evios to Idaho” from here on in.

A FOR THAT RAFFLE BIT: FOR EVERY $100 I WILL RAFFLE OFF A SKETCH BUST OF UP TO TWO CHARACTERS!! So that means 10 lucky donators will get a free sketch out of gratitude!!♥

I will keep track of our total funds for everyone to see, here:

Thank you very much for considering and, if you can’t spare even just $1 PLEASE spread the word like wildfire.

[Can I just take a moment to talk about how happy I am with my new chosen name? I muled over it for a long time, debating with myself about what spelling I wanted to go with, but, I think I’ve finally found it;

I’m going with Eron (variation of my birth name, Erin) Cayden Stark.

Eron is Hebew, just like my mom’s name, Adah, which I thought was a nice homage. Furthermore, “Erin” has two or three meanings, but “Eron” only has one: it means PEACE☮.

Cayden (used to replace Caitlin) means “fierce warrior“, and my last name, Stark, means “strong; to be firm and unyeilding“. So, altogether the meaning of my name is:

Peace | fierce warrior | strong; firm & unyeilding

While talking about it with my boyfriend, he said "Sounds like Kaz, honestly.“ To which, I have to laughingly agree. I am really happy with it though. It has a lot of significance and meaning to me.
