I was so excited to see sals new design i HAD to make some fanart based on sals new robe design (⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝)

Im so pumped for fran bow 2. I seen a teaser for frans character design on instagram and it looks super cool!!!!! (っ˘ڡ˘ς)

Guess what she’s listening to……hint: starts with an S!!!! ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

Im 5’5 (i typically wear combat steeltoe boots that make me 5’7,, mind u they arent girly and isnt obvious they are platforms.)

never measured my chest but im small enough to know im an a cup, i almost never need to wear a binder/tape.

I do grow fuzz and hair on my lip and face, but i do shave it because i find having peachfuzz shows you arent ABLE to grow thick facial hair. A clean shaven look doesnt leave “can you?” up for debate really.

My voice is deep for an afab but too high for a amab, but i get called “ma’am” before i even open my mouth.

I wear generally masc clothes, boxy shapes and not too out-there colors.

Ive come to terms with the fact i present like a girl, i mean yes it does leave a stinging feeling everytime people call me a girl, but i know im pre-T and that really does play a big part. the female AND male sides of my family are all very haiiiryyy lol so i know when i go on T facial hair is very acheivable for me. So im just kinda waiting it out (been waiting for 9 years tho 0.0)

+ terrifying joey sketch lmao my sketches always look absolutely crazy before i fix them.

Okay but genuinely should i draw russel or 2D next???1?1??1

I apologize for the blurry pictures, my camera quality isnt that good (crazy this is an iphone 14…)

Anyways, everything went generally alright but im puzzled about the beetles I did. They arrived still very flexible, with a weird sour odour. I assumed this was normal, and proceeded like normal by rehydrating with water and a small amount of alchohol to prevent molding. I left them in there for about a day and a half until I noticed the moth was flexible, then pinned per usual. However the beetles didnt actually end up getting stiff at all, staying in the same state they arrived minus the smell. I left the beetles to dry longer than the moth (about a week extra.) and still nothing. I just ended up displaying without it being fully dry, just ever so slightly stiff, so I had to use a pinning pin to add super glue to each leg and position it in place. I was thinking possibly its because it hadn’t been gutted, but im seeing extremely mixed signals about whether or not that’s necessary for smaller beetles as it wasnt even the size of my pinky.

Also, the hawk moth arrived with both antenna fully broken off and missing :(. I ended up getting creative and replaced the antenna with some flower petals, trying to make it look intentional, lol. I feel sorta bummed as I feel like im disrespecting these beauties by not doing them the full justice they deserved. Anyways does anyone know why the beetles wouldn’t stiffen? Im a noob so please be nice, and im sorry if I messed anything up!

my hips are my main huge source of dysphoria. I lucked out genetically with almost every other trait— broad shoulders, long wingspan and small bewbs. I’ve tried every single type of dieting there is and eventually got to a scarily underweight state, and quickly found out my hips are literally large becuz of bone structure :’/ Its so dysphoric how much the
protrude. Ive been working on growing my back and obliques alongside arms to almost give me a tapered look but I fear my hips will forever be like this. worst part is there’s no cosmetic procedures to slim hips, im just stuck in this body.
