'partial dissection of the chest of a man' by jacob roux, 1822 in the art of medicine: over 2000 years of images and imagination - julie anderson, emm barnes + emma shackleton (2011)

[havinganidentitycrisis]

hello. I think that the minotaur is a transmasculine icon for reasons that are difficult to articulate. A heavy lumbering "spliced" creature sealed for the crime of his creation, he is a monster and he is a child, the bull a symbol of violence and masculinity but also fertility and prosperity, a being of great suspicion and veneration. A body seen as unwhole and offensive. A body that is hairy and hot and fills the dark winding halls of the labyrinth with its smell and its breath and its voice. The horns and the eyes and the blood, the soft ears and curling tail and thin dainty hoofed legs. I also feel like being transmasc and not having top surgery can feel like being an awkward top heavy uncomfortable sort of creature? Always hunching and curling to try and make space in the uncomfortable constriction of the flesh. Does this make sense.

You, dear anon, are a visionary.

Do not think for a moment that this admin is only going after trans folks. They are ultimately going after the whole LGBTQ community. They start small, like getting rid of a hotline option, then go BIG.

☆ | SOUL EATER ◇ PROJECT ARCANA | ☆

Cards 1, 2, and 3: Death, The World, and Temperance

☆ Wanted to go back and update each of my three cards, to make sure all of their colours popped out more and looked more visually appealing and unified when put together.

☆ This project is by far my most popular series thus far, and I sincerely appreciate everyone who is patiently waiting for the next card. As previously mentioned, Project Arcana will be my biggest and longest project to date, with a whopping demand of 12 personalized tarot cards in total. I've been sprawling the workload out between other personal artwork in order to keep myself from becoming too burnt out, and after i complete a commission i recently just recieved an order for, I will proceed on with the fourth card for this project.

- Our next character certainly wouldn't mind the wait, just as long as his long awaited arrival to the scene is as bright and bold as he is... ⭐️

a transmasc person going "i hated being a woman, i don't understand why anyone would want to be a woman, and anyone who actively chooses to be a woman is making the wrong choice" is obviously in the wrong right. so why do we keep letting people get away with saying the reverse. just because masculinity was a prison for you doesn't mean it isn't freedom for others

don't forget to be the way you are

my first commissioned work! thanks so much to my client who had great ideas that matched my style. hope you enjoy the artwork! if anyone wants a commission hit my dms :)

🌈 👁 RANCID RAINBOW 👽⚡️| Mayhem West - 2025 Update

(character pronouns: he/they/it)

☆ it's been ages since i drew this character, but for those unfamiliar, Mayhem West was originally an OC i created for MHA back in 2022. Mayhem is entirely based around weirdcore and early 2000's scenekid fashion, and has a body horror-based mutation quirk, meaning he can mutate its body in any imaginatively gory way they see fit, though will often be seen with eyes in the back of his hands as their default form.

☆ there's something so alluring about his brightly coloured rainbow hair that's always immedietely drawn me to their character design, so i finally decided i had to sit down and draw him again. And i'm so glad i did, because i love how this piece ended up looking!!!

☆ and omg, i actually drew the background for once!!! it's been ages since i had enough confidence to draw backgrounds, because they can be so tedious and difficult to get right. i'd always opted for some creative way to get around backgrounds, often incorporating a very photoshop/mixed media look into my style, but this time i really wanted to challenge myself. I got really drawn to the idea of placing Mayhem into one of those heavily graffitied, grungy, nasty nightclub restroom stalls, and while i still feel i personally could've done better on the graffiti, i'm very pleased with the final results. :]

sorta funny how many cis people seem to think being an ally just means like. not actively commiting hate crimes. "i'm an ally i'm just worried that hrt is dangerous and i dont like when they shove pride right in our faces and i think all this sjw stuff in movies is unrealistic and im worried about the children-" okay. so i dont think you know what that word means,
