#perzine

"but you have to keep living!!" how about you let me live in peace without questioning my mask all the time? how about you let people live instead of alter their existence or stop it completely by letting deadly viruses spread?

as always when i need to vent, it turned into a perzine. it took me forever to make this one because it's digital so of course the opportunity to edit, edit, edit, doubt what i'm saying and how i'm saying it, was too tempting. but i'm throwing it into the world it's a blog post but in zine form (blog posts are actually zine contents put online to me and it's very 2026 to phrase it as if the analog was the one copying the digital ik ik)

a zine about covid, masking, and live since 2020

Yay….!! After just talking about it for years lol I finally opened an online store for my art…! <3

I have lots of stickers, some prints and zines, and the very special long awaited debut of my Doflamingo Perzine, “Pink Cross” which is now open for preorder until the end of December! :’^) It is all the fanart I’ve ever done of Doffy (some old and some never before seen) plus a strange and vulnerable psychological/spiritual deep dive of me trying to figure out why the hell I’ve been so obsessed with the pink menace lol. I’ve been terrified to release it tbh, but it feels like it’s finally time…!!

found out about zine a day may only yesterday but i like the excuse to make silly wee perzines again

i made this zine for uni inspired by the museum of transology and it's my first proper perzine, i am so proud of it

The writing is slightly difficult to read at this size so here is what the tags say in order:

This was the first thing I ever recieved with a chosen name on it and it was given to me by an online friend when bears in trees opened for you me at six at ally pally. I was called moss all day'

From year 9 just before I started to realise I was queer until I left school in year 13 I was part of my school's LGBTQ+ group and it was fundamental to my self acceptance and forming the relationship I have with my queerness. After my A-Levels I went in to help with the pride month fundraisers which included an auction of art made by students where i won this sticker. It was made by a year 8 student who had been out at school since they started. This sticker reminded me at the time how far we had come for kids to be that confident so young. Now it reminds me of all the queer kids who need to be protected during this rise of transphobia and why out teachers are so important in schools. I hope they're okay

This was my first proper binder which I received from a friend who had recently gotten top surgery. He offered some in a discord server we were in and I waited a few days because I wasn't sure if I was "dysphoric enough" to deserve one but the gender euphoria it gave me was incredible. He gave it to me in the queue for a Bears in Trees gig, somewhere I have grown to have as a place I can be truly myself. The whole experience embodies the importance of community for trans people'

Before I knew if I wanted to start testosterone or if I would even be able to, I researched other ways to stimulate facial hair growth and one of the suggestions I found was rosemary oil which I used alongside minoxidil as it was much cheaper. Between the two it started to work but I then got scared of making myself visibly trans so I stopped. I have restarted since being on t
