Successful Trans Men

Successful trans men

I wish I knew about men like these growing up, I wish I knew that trans men could be successful after a lifetime of never seeing anyone ‘like me’ excelling in life. So here are some trans men - some that you may have heard of, some that you may not - that are successful in a range of careers. Never let being trans hold you back, never think you can’t do something, never think there is not a place for you.

sherlock holmes deduces you are trans before you've figured it out yourself and refers to you with those pronouns and then when you look confused is like "ah...had you not arrived at that conclusion yet?" and wafts away in his dressing gown to smoke seventeen pipes, leaving you in a gender crisis

a page of digital drawings of Shirahoshi and Fukaboshi. The drawing on the top left is a bust of Shirahoshi holding a tiny standing Luffy with both hands, she's pouting and starting to cry. The drawing on the bottom left is of her with her fists buried in her hair, slightly bent over with her tail curled behind her. There are black lines emanating off from her head to represent her distress. The drawing on the right is of Fukaboshi holding his trident, looking intimidating. There's a school of smelt-whiting above Fukaboshi swimming towards Shirahoshi. There's a zebra shark below Fukaboshi, swimming to the right. There's a small bust of Luffy in the middle with the text "space filling Luffy!!" around him. The entire drawing is just black lines with the different values hatched. There's a pink blob as a background behind the bust of Shirahosi and a blue blob behind Fukaboshi. The fish are also fully colored. There's some bubbles above the fish
a page of digital drawings of Queen Otohime and Madam Shyarly. The drawing on the left is of Otohime holding a bottle of wine in one hand and holding her other hand over her chest. She's crying, and her tail is swept behind her. Every individual scale is hatched in a gradient. The drawing on the top right is of Shyarly sitting, her tail curled around her orb. She's holding a pipe in her left hand with smoke filling the space above her. The drawing on the bottom right is of Shyarly pondering her orb, Luffy looking evil surrounded by fire is in it. The original meme is in low opacity under her. There's a drooping orange blob behind Otohime. There's a rising blob of greyish blue behind Shyarly. A Mako shark is swimming down between the two, its head turned towards Shyarly, who is looking at it. There's a goldfish above Otohime's tail, looking at her. The fish are colored in and there's some bubbles above them

cleaned up my fishman island sketches because i quite like them :)

a digital illustration of Donquixote Doflamingo sitting on King Riku's windowsill. the lighting is dramatic, with the moonlight illuminating doflamingo ominously from the top and sides. One of his hand is in string manipulating position and the other is resting by his side. One of his legs is going down to set foot on the floor, and the other is bent and relaxed. He has a devious smile. There is a moon centered in the sky and the curtains are blown back, with the moonlight passing through them like silk. It's based off the scene in dressrosa where Doflamingo blackmails the king.

All he wants is a small loan of 10 billion berries 😊

timelapse under the cut :D

How does David, a jacked metal boned monster of cyberware and rage not beat Adam Smasher, but a half dead exhausted mercenary surviving on good will, pure adrenaline and probably an unhealthy amount of caffeine with a psychotic rocker boy screaming in his head does?

Cyberpunk is fuckin wild, man

Day 1 - As A Cat - Adrian.

Day 1 - As a cat - Adrian.

Long story short, a while back I decided to pick up a 100 day oc art challenge, of which I promptly fell off of on day 8. However, I got a new art software which I'm using to remaster some traditional art, so I decided, fuck it, why not try and get through as many days as possible before I burn out, and post the results to tumblr? This one is a redraw, and is mainly just me dicking around with some of the features. There might be other installations but don't hold your breath.

with how we're all aware of how toxic masculinity leads men/boys to harass, assault, and abuse other men/boys, you'd think the fact they can be harmed by patriarchy and misogyny wouldn't be a controversial statment. *especially* marginalized men. but alas, many people have taken the "identity" in identity politics so literally, they just end up ignoring and reinforcing the harmful things they claim to be against.

also if you think the pain of the men harmed by toxic masculinity isn't a big deal because they're men... that is. that is literally you believing in toxic masculinity. like i thought we all knew part of toxic masculinity is that men shouldn't feel pain, they shouldn't cry, they can't ask for help or be truly hurt, etc. etc. and if they do any of these things, then they're not real men and not only deserve to be emasculated, but deserve to suffer. you just switched it to they are real men so they deserve to suffer.

and even though again, this is extra harmful for marginalized men, i shouldn't have to say that for you to care. if you only give support to people harmed by these systems when you think deserve it, you're always going to end up propping these systems up at some point. maybe you should stop that.

also. to any man reading this who feels like their pain doesn't matter: it does. you deserve to exist in a world where you're safe to be yourself and feel emotions, and get genuine protection and support. we all need to exist in that world. none of us deserve this hell.

It's a commission sheet with the text "Commissions for Palestine!" written at the top with the artist's sona holding a stylus and a Palestinian flag next to it. There are three style examples listed; chibi/doodle, portrait/torso, and full body. The text below it reads, "The more you donate, the more effort I put in! Specify what you want: characters, poses, on model or with my head canons, etc. I also do meme redraws. I will not do: gore, NSFW, fetish."

Commissions are open for Palestine!

The pricing is undefined, but the more you pay the more effort I put in! Minimum donation of $5, which will get you a cleaned up sketch.

Send me proof of donation of any fundraiser off Operation Olive Branch that has been done later than 9/17 and I'll post your finished drawing and @ you!

I'm busy with school, so I'll open 5 slots at a time. I hopefully can get done with the art quickly and not sacrifice quality :)

Slots filled: 0/5

My art tag is #my art if you want to go through my blog and look at my styles. I'm cool with most fandoms you could request but you could probably catch a pattern with the ones I'm going to be most proficient at doing fanart for (one piece, jjk, loz 💀)

If I'm not comfortable with your request I'll just politely ask you to choose something else for me to draw😊

She's wearing her post timeskip Sabaody outfit and her tattoo is extended down her arm with visible scars from cocoyashi. She has freckles all over. Black text at the top reads, "Day 27: Navigator"

I am Abood from Gaza, I am 17 years old. The circumstances here in Gaza forced me to enter this application, perhaps someone can help me. My story is that I am a high school student because of the war in Gaza. I was forced to leave school because there were no safe schools during the war, and thus I lost my dream of completing my studies, as I was one of the diligent and top students in my school and I dreamed of a promising future, but this war stole everything from me, even my home and many, many relatives and loved ones around me. I hope that someone will put himself in my place and help me survive outside Gaza and complete my studies to achieve the dream that I have always dreamed of. Please help me 🙏 🥺
