talk/prayer with Ares for today

hey Father Ares...did you see me today? made it the whole day without my cane. well, till the walk home, that's when it started to hurt. i think i'm starting to get a little stronger, no doubt thanks to the encouragment you give me. thank you for all the strength you give me, really...it's helped me a lot recently

[trans-cult-of-ares]

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

⚔️ If you want to read some queer retelling of arturian legends have a look at my webtoon

whenever i see a butch lesbian my heart flutters and i feel safe

this is a trans man and butch lesbian solidarity ask. i love you guys so much.

we are siblings in arms. two sides of the same coin, sometimes even the same side if the gender is weird enough.

i 💚 butches

right back at you buddy. my best friend growing up was a trans guy and he was the one who helped me understand butches could be transmasculine too, at a time when i felt like it wasn't my word to use. meant a lot to me, to hear that from a trans man. love you trans men!

[trans-cult-of-ares]

healthy masculinity exists and it's beautiful. i love when men are able to open about their emotions. i love when men cuddle together. i love when men are confident in their gender and know in their heart that nothing can make them any less of a man. i love when they do "traditionally masculine" things because it's what makes them happy, not because they feel like they have no choice.

and i love when this healthy masculinity is shared with others. i love when a man's vulnerability gives others the chance to be vulnerable too. i love when men become hair stylists and make-up artists, giving others the joy of self expression. i love when fathers teach their sons to be caring and gentle, and allow them to engage in "traditionally feminine" things. i love when men are able to be the representation they needed to see, and find comfort in how just their existence helps others.

i love when men are truly happy - especially marginalized men. there is so much joy in manhood and masculinity - people just need to be allowed to experience it.

[trans-cult-of-ares]

transmasculinity and trans manhood are things to wear with pride. they will never be anything to be embarrassed or ashamed of, or something to be avoided. wear them loud and proud, you are radiant

[trans-cult-of-ares]

i love you bears i love you butches i love you trans men i love you transmascs i love you drag kings i love you masc queers of all persuasions the world is so much better and brighter for the existence of queer masculinity

[trans-cult-of-ares]

idk who needs to hear this but trans men are not only allowed but need to be encouraged to feel proud to be trans men. hell, they should be proud to be men too, not just in relation to their transness. being trans men and transmasculine can be really fulfilling to people. the random trans guy in your high school calculus class didnt invent misogyny the patriarchy, hes still affected by it. grow up

[trans-cult-of-ares]

May the Gods ease your gender dysphoria.

May they bless you with gender euphoria, and supportive friends and family.

May they guide you and help you on the path for your transition, no matter what form that may take.

The most successful people in the world are the people who can self soothe. If you are being triggered and you look outward and you are angry at the person who triggered you, you are manifesting weakness. Instead look inward and recognize "ok someone has triggered me, that means I have an insecurity and I need to address my insecurity. "That is going to put you in a more powerful position moving forward.

The people who are successful can self soothe, they can stay emotionally calm in the midst of chaos. They are resilient and are always looking for solutions. Learn to switch out of problem mode, into solution form.

Most people can only see the problems. Stop focusing on what isn't going to work and start looking for a way that it will work. Do not get in your own way in an ego perspective. Do not stop at failure.
