i was sixteen when i was outed as trans to my parents. it was world-shattering. i've spent the past five years picking up the pieces, building a new life for myself.
last year, i graduated university, surprising myself and probably some of my professors too. last month, i moved states to start a job as a user experience designer. i spent the majority of my life unable to conceptualise a future. now i am living it.
i celebrate this anniversary to reflect on how far i have come. i celebrate it for that small, scared kid, who never thought we would make it this far. survival itself is a radical act.

[Com Wip;; it's involves gore/violence so the uncensored wip is under the cut]
So you all know what I've been up too beyond irl things \o/.
It's a mess but I don't often share darker work content cause I'm scared to do so from folks thinkin its gross/too much/etc so I'm dipping my toes into posting things here....
----- I don't often get to draw things like this for work so I'm having a wonderful time :D
If posting this doesn't get me throttled by asks / anons again thinkin' I'm a bad person for drawing gore then I'll post the finished thing once it's done \o/ then slap that link in the replies of this post [as I've learned to start doing that cause sometimes folk reblog wips and lose the finished one gjfdiogdjgids]

Fic-to-Art #32: Sokka and Azula's first time
This month's prompt was 'intimacy', and my Patrons picked a pretty important scene for that purpose :') I, of course, went slightly out of control and, uh, well... with a prompt like that, it's hard to hold back a weirdo like me, sorry not sorry x'D
In short: the full version of this month's reward is in fact 8 pieces rather than this one. This is basically the only one I dare use here for obvious reasons :'D Unfortunately, my attempt to post this on a separate Tumblr post, under its "mature" guidelines, resulted in a flagged post regardless. The guidelines of this site about art of this nature are REALLY something else, huh? :')
Honestly... this prompt ended up meaning a lot to me because of how many times I tried and failed to portray this scene properly. Especially the bits I drew for it this time :'D It's no exaggeration to say that this was one of the very first scenes I plotted, and also one of the first I tried to make proper art of. Still, I wasn't good enough to pull it off before... and somehow, I managed to do it this time!
Hope you guys liked it! If you'd like to be part of the creative process behind these pieces, a $1 Patreon pledge is enough to make you eligible for joining the prompt suggestion process, as well as reading Gladiator snippets 6 days before each update!
