this year while we all celebrate pride month and celebrate ourselves as well as those who came before us and paved the way for us to do so, we must also think of those in gaza, queer or not, who live every day under a brutal occupation and donโt have that same privilege. happy pride, and may we see a free palestine in this lifetime.
Thank you dear supporters for all the help you are offering the people of Gaza in this dire time. I am a father of four tender babies who are paying much of their childhood and innocence in this unfair war. Please do whatever you can to help me save my family till the war ends.
Despite the suffering and hardships of this fierce war , your support and assistance ease us and grant us power and patience. Your contribution keeps a whole family safe, that is why i am asking you to donate whatever you can of at least share my link so that other donors can know about my tragedy and pain.

A lot of people on twitter wanted me to explain how I draw expressions, so here you go
Unless you're drawing explicit realism, in my opinion, expressions should be exaggerated to some degree. If you aren't doing a 1:1 recreation, the point is to get the FEELING across. Try making the expression you want to draw and feeling how your face pinches and stretches.
Skin doesn't just "disappear" when your face moves it around --- that's where wrinkles come from! Pay attention to where your skin creases when you emote, and use it to your benefit. It's a fine line between overdoing it and underdoing it -- find your own balance.
Ultimately, every expression has a little bit of push and pull, unless your face is completely neutral (and even then, there are still some wrinkles...). Learning to think of expressions as actions and reactions is VERY helpful in learning to draw them without needing a reference, and in learning how to stylize and push expressions based on references as well!
I think a lot of people end up with stiff or unexpressive emotions in their art because they're just trying to recreate a picture instead of understanding WHY and HOW the face is moving --- and it's a tough thing that takes a while to really pick up and learn. Hopefully is helpful in showing a way of thinking about it that can influence your process and approach to emotions!!!
Also, bonus: even without the lines, the planes alone still show a LOT of emotion.
Urgent help ๐ ๐ฃ
I stand on the rubble of our home, but my heart is filled with hope. I need your help to leave Gaza and complete my education to build my future. Every donation, no matter how small, will help me achieve my dream. Join us on a journey of rebuilding

Daily update(18)๐ต๐ธ
this pride month can we please at least listen to intersex people. for example
people who claimed intersex people didn't want to be included were largely perisex bigots
stop using amab/afab to refer to or infer sex characteristics and life experiences
stop using transfeminine/transmasculine to infer someone's agab (and subsequently their sex characteristics and life experiences)
stop using tma/tme to mean "trans women"/"everyone else"
man and woman aren't opposites, gender isn't binary
male and female aren't opposites, sex isn't binary
"contradictory" labels aren't the death knell of queer people
intersex people aren't "sexually disordered" they are fucking intersex
"intersex" is not a thing you can transition to be
intersex people don't owe conformity
intersex people don't have to tell you shit about their bodies
the "cis kids being given hormones" a lot of people mention in their trans activism include a lot of intersex kids being medically abused
can we all understand this like really really quickly. is any of this very hard to wrap your head around ?
i wrote trans boy toga and ochako cutting his hair :)
theyre the same character i swear
