#I really really want more from the butches....

[jazzfordshire]

Hello, Jazz! I hope all is well. I just read a book on Libby from Anna Burke called In the Roses of Pieria that, the more I read, the more I realized it's sort of supercorp coded. The main character is named Clara and wears blazers, is blonde, is excitable/emotive, bubbly, intelligent, maybe reads as butch -adjacent, and falls in love with Fiadh "fee-ah" the black haired/green eyed fancy, business-like, short beautiful Irish woman. Anyway I thought I'd tell you about it, if you like ancient languages, academic types, fairy tales, vampires, etc. The author writes a lot of really good stuff (Nottingham is my favorite) and this one just reminded me of your stuff. Actually to be honest it reminds me of your very old writing because your recent stuff is actually better 😁 but wanted to share this with you anyway.

MORE 👏 SUPERCORP 👏 CODED 👏 BOOKS 👏

And also thank you, I actually really love that my recent stuff is noticeably better to anyone but me lmao I appreciate that!!

Hiii chim, I'm sorry that you're going through a rough time, and I hope that things get better for you soon ;^;

also this is kind of entirely random but I've been following you for some months now, but it was only JUST NOW when I was clicking on your blog trying to think of a question, that I took proper notice of the sticker shop banner you have on your pinned (despite, seeing it all the time orz) AND SAW THAT YOU HAD SALLY FACE STICKERS ON THERE!! I didn't know that was something you like/liked!! :D But that's really awesome to see to me ahhhh it's one of my favorite games

also also I absolutely ADORE the design you made for Gilda, it goes SO HARD and it just looks so good I have to do a double take whenever I see her because, gosh, what she does to my heart is unfair >A<

I'm not great at coming up with questions, but, you mentioned in I think the last poll for Randy and Imani about the trope of fretting over ruining the friendship you have with someone when you catch feelings for them, so my first question is: who would have worse anxeity over their feelings for the other screwing up their friendship, between the two of them?

second question, of all the art you've done for The Tenderness She Gives (which, is a wonderful name for it honestly, it hits me in the heart so strongly), which has been your favorite? :3c

Ohh my god that's such a sweet message, thank you... <3

Funnily, the shop still isn't open. I wanna finish 2-3 more stickers before opening up again. But yes, I do love Sally Face and will definitely play when the second game comes out. I actually also drew a lot of fanart for it and probably will again once the next game comes out. The general tag list is here if you're curious.

And thank you regarding Gilda <3 as mentioned, I am really surprised she got such a positive feedback. I like her design but didn't anticipate people going nuts over her lmao. I saw way more tags/comments about her compared to other art.

Regarding Randy and Imani and that trope - god I'm such a huuuuuuge sucker for it... I imagine Imani as very curious and experimental in nature so I don't see her being that anxious about it. But then again, I think I love Randy falling for her pretty early on in their teenage years and covering it with jokes and over-the-top and thus not serious flirting. I can see Randy being anxious for years to not advance anything in their friendship because she can tell Imani doesn't have feeling for her. Yet - because I like to think Imani starts to get flustered once Randy is well-known secure in her job as deputy captain. Honestly I could see Imani need a nudge into the right direction from all other women fawning over Randy. As in, she probably only starts to see Randy's romantic potential once she actually starts paying attention outside of their friendly banter. (I imagine her head is always all over the place so she just doesn't see Randy in any intimate/romantic way before). But after that, she definitely also has anxiety over making a move. Not as much as Randy though.

As for the fave pieces.... I actually adooooore the two butches and have been cursing myself for not drawing them more.

For Imani and Randy I really like the teenage doodle I made for the poll here. I just like their younger versions in the sketch <3

First off this absolutely cursed AU was inspired by Lemonomelette and a post they made -X Secondly I imagine it all being about bots and cons trying to one up each others factions and not actually helping in any serious way because their too busy with their own faction bs.

Think of two rival car dealerships across the street one upping each other to get business and instead of business with cars its interstellar robot fairys trying to woo sm children to let them grant their inconsequential wishes (which may or may not be worth it) instead of the other guy next door.

It’s always so funny to me when someone can’t tell the difference between an actor who’s over the top and an actor who is doing an intentionally over the top performance. The former can be super aggravating, I get it—but the latter can be so goddamn effective. Especially when you know the actor already, know they’re fully capable of giving normal human facial expressions and chill line deliveries. And they’re out here doing The Absolute Most all of a sudden? It’s for a reason, dude. It’s almost always for a reason. And once you can see past the camp on the surface, it’s so much fun digging in to what emotions the character is actually hiding.

venting in tags about gender n shit (long as hell) (u can comment and talk 2 me as always :3)

hm. having a mini gender crisis in the middle of my shift again

[greencarnation]

i wish there'd been a butch/masc barbie. there was weird barbie who i loved but it made me sad that even in this utopia for women butch women are still shunned

[ghoulhusband]

thinking about benny being trans again. benny can you tell us what’s up with your fucking ghost gender please

[dearqueerdeers]

I wanna do gender the way butch women do gender but like in the opposite direction. my ideal gender presentation is like. a femme man. but NOT like a drag queen. I feel like the only options for men are Parody Of A Woman (drag queen) or Slightly Feminine (twink who paints his nails sometimes). like. the way women can take on masculine features without necessarily being immediately perceived as a trans guy or a drag king. I want to be a man who takes on feminine features without immediately being perceived as a trans woman or a drag queen.

lmao... something tells me they wouldn't quite fit together.

[desertdweller]

It’s very interesting how people will label based on their perception of you.

[screamingay]

im gonna b honest accepting some peoples identities IS difficult sometimes. im not throwing fists with someone who says they're bisexual and a lesbian but like i do enjoy words having meanings sometimes. and obviouslyy fighting corporations and keeping the community safe from violence and all that comes first always i just still don't get some people and it makes me feel like old man yelling at cloud ngl
