"ill run the risk of being intimate with brokenness" - Son, Sleeping at Last "give us bread, give us salt, give us wine" - North, Sleeping at Last
(ramble below the cut!)
Did a more heartfelt piece today. The shadow figure on the left is named Quyn, who is the "parent" of my sona, Astro. Originally I created Quyn as this embodiment of how I feel whenever I have a breakdown. But then, once Astro (a rejected name for myself) came along, I changed as well. I started drawing myself in a way that let me be happy with my body and my representation. So, in a poetic sense, I decided on the idea of having Quyn being this guardian for Astro. Their parent, their friend, their dad. This made them slowly go from a gruff and uncaring exterior to a caring and light-hearted person. It's nice, because it shows me that I'm not alone in my transition. "Nova" still new. They don't know what this or that is, they're still learning. But I know. I can guide them. I can help him grow enough until I can tell everyone in my life who I am. Until I have the strength to wear trans flags in public. Until I have the courage to do so. And I will happily guide Nova to be my deadname's replacement.
