look what you did

Y'know, as somebody who only VERY recently learned to... not instantly turn any sort of praise or positive attention- or ANY attention- into instant fight or flight reflex, it still absolutely stops my heart when someone says I helped them or... was some sort of positive influence in their lives.

Sorry if this shatters anyone's like, really cool mental image, but I am simply a round, fluffy beafte on the internet who is really really happy my lil' goofiness and stubborn optimism can do a lil' good here and there- and one who's just gonna keep trying my best to keep that streak going! ;___; <3

First positive thing to happen in 2024, I received my amended birth certificate with my updated name and gender! This was the last legal document I needed updating, and boy howdy did that take longer than I thought it would. Online, they say it can take up to 19 weeks to process and ship out your birth certificate. For me, it was 2 years!

Didn't think I'd have to fight for updates with the state of California more than when I changed my name and gender. Personally, for me, I changed my name first instead of doing the combo of both. It cost more money, but I'm glad I waited. I was originally going to change my gender to man because I was afraid that if I picked nonbinary I would have a harder time around healthcare or just people in general. But I felt that it would be unfair to myself, I don't see myself as a man or a woman, so if the option that fit me best was right there then why don't I take it?

Fast forward 5 years later, I've gone through HRT, and top surgery, and now all of my legal documents have X or nonbinary for my gender. I know I'll still have a harder time with healthcare because of it, but I'm sticking to it. I do like being perceived as masculine and addressed by Sir/Mr. title by strangers in public, even if I'm agender. I'd personally love to go back on HRT again since I had stopped after surgery while recovering. I just can't afford it right now sadly.

But hey, legally nonbinary!!

[ Just in case anyone was wondering,

Our little feral void girl Sage who I posted about a few days ago saying she was on her way out ... we decided to at least try and help her, because we could tell she wasn't ready to go despite all signs, and it was a GOOD call! Little girl has been at the cat hospital for a day and a half now getting fluids and vitamins etc. and she's already improving! She's hissing at them and moving around and eating on her own a little! Unfortunately she has been diagnosed with FIV(Cat HIV) which is manageable, and she may or may not have feluek. It looked like it could be a false positive on the feluek though, so we're having her retested, as if she's negative for it then we'll be making her an indoor cat with our girl Miso. ]

Your art is SOOO gorgeous!!! Your style is so pleasant and I can tell there's so much love and effort put into your work 🥺👉👈💞

Thank you!! I'm super happy to hear it shows!!

My focus is very easily lost so I am slow-paced in both drawing and thinking, but all you see here is coming straight from my heart hehe! It's been a long journey to reach this point where I can actually feel content about my art and ideas, with the help of these two nerdy silly guys and the wonderfully supportive community! Getting comfortable drawing the characters also makes it much easier to experiment and fine-tune my skills even further!

A while back my pharmacist saw my deadname on my profile and accidentially called it out, he corrected and deleted my deadname from the system so only my preferred name shows up now. There was a crowd of people behind me, so as he hands over the pills he apologized, in equal tone and volume as when he called my deadname and lied saying it's been a long day and he didn't mean to call out -his own- name. I quietly told him it was fine and he didn't need to do that for my sake.

His response: "No, it's my name now."

I went to the pharmacist yesterday, his nametag is my deadname. He informed me he's immigrating and in the process he's changed his first name to my deadname to have an English sounding name. That's why he's now able to get a reprint of his nametag to be my deadname. And repeated, with the intense seriousness of someone who is going to die on this hill: "It's mine now. Not yours. I'm taking." His tone indicated that decision is final.

Bro literally deadnamed me once, and has committed to flat out stealing my deadname. It's his now. Legally. Officially. I over heard his co-workers call him by the name.
