Why yes, I am already working on my Evershine Governor. Meet Calliope -- 'Callie' for short!

I’ve been thinking a LOT about her lately and I wanted to make her buns look like four leaf clovers, one of her favorite plants. One of her favorite ways to unwind is to just sit in a field of grass and look through the clover for four leafed ones.

I’ve been studying proportions and anatomy for faces. I needed a better reference of her hair for myself to draw and this is what I needed up making. Idk, i feel like this is one of my better pieces so far and I’m really proud of how it turned out, that’s all 🥺

Art fight of some Sandrockers and Evershine ocs I drew!!

i guess logically on some level i knew that trans fem OCs in fandoms are pretty rare but the number of trans masc OCs i see in the tags of, like, 'stardew valley farmer' and 'my time at sandrock builder' and 'coral island farmer' just bc those are current fandoms on rotation for me... i mean, it's wonderful! it's wonderful that people are creating and sharing these OCs!!! but seeing the trans flag on, like, a character profile someone's made for their oc is 99.9% of the time gonna be showing me a trans masc / tme oc !! and obviously like... the ratio of cis to trans/non-binary/third gender OCs and self-inserts is an even bigger disparity im not here to, like, BLAME trans men or anyone making trans masc ocs it's just the thing of like... oh i noticed it once and now i cannot stop seeing it.

trans women, trans fems, im so sorry. i wish these spaces were more welcoming and respectful and kind and safe for you. i wish that for all areas of life and the world, but this is a little fandom blog and this is a woefully overdue kind of 'clicked into place' realisation within fandom/oc-creation space. i would love to hear about your self-inserts and your ocs !!!

anyone who has trans feminine ocs in these lil farming/building/village sim cozy games, i want to see them i want to know them, i want you to have a space to share them and your ideas and passion. real trans women, their safety and comfort and voices, have to have to HAVE TO come first, but they're not the only ones who can have trans woman ocs !! and creating a safer, more welcoming environment for them has to happen though the rest of us - as TME fans, players, creators, bloggers whatever we might be insulted or hassled for a CHARACTER we've created, but a trans woman with a trans woman farmer in stardew valley is going to draw attention with that OC and then, in the current online and fandom climate, violently harassed and reported until they're banned. we GOTTA be a buffer we gotta make these identities more common and normalised so when a trans woman does share her own it's not some great outlier with a massive neon sign in the tags saying "TRANS WOMAN SPOTTED" for the transmisogynists to instantly target !!!!!!!!

idek where im going with this anymore and i have that luxury because im a cis woman like !!! wtfffff !
