mirrors - me and my body over the years.
a short comic i've had bouncing around in my head for a few months.
when i was a kid, every morning felt like flipping a coin on whether i'd feel like shit that day. something was wrong with my body. i didn't know what it was. i was a tomboy and my family wanted me to be ladylike, so i thought i just wasn't femme or white enough.
then i got groomed out of high school, by a worthless excuse for a man who told me he understood me and liked me as i was. i wanted to reconnect with my femininity and asked for help, but he took a mile. he tried to feminize me and neg me into his perfect fantasy bangmaid. every day it was being compared to women who weren't me and being made out to be the bad guy if i didn't cave to one of his demands.
when i got away from him, i could finally examine who i was as a person without anyone else's influence. no family, no high school classmates, no abusive boyfriend. and finally figuring out the answer to that question (what's wrong with me?) didn't make things any easier. turns out i'm not a girl. now i have to live with that knowledge.
i turned 22 this year. i started HRT. i finally have a voice that i like. i have hair on my arms. i have hair on my chin and a little dirt stache. on my birthday, for the first time since i can remember, i saw myself in the mirror and thought "hey, looking good." i think i'm going to be alright.

#674: why's wright dutch
another wright post, it is 1:55am my time and im vibin', so
My girl is dutch/faroese because I cant spell English marine terminology, all Russian words for this came from Dutch during 16, 17 and 18th centuries (and apparently, dutch natives' grammar oopsies sometimes are very similar to those of russian natives); faroese, because when I was presented the life rpg choice for paganism, I chose norse over celtic and am fascinated by the Faroe islands since idk. Not to mention faroese legends include bits about frisian settlers!

Honestly, as much as a love the Gilded Age and glitz glamor of the wealth it shows...what has really caught my attention is the plotline unions and mills
I am once again starting my campaign for Hollywood to create a mini series based on the Progressive era
And I want it as dark, gritty, a realistic as possible.
