gender thingy

acquired taste....

yep... this one’s gender

did whisper or lano tell you about the way our lower chest hair looks when it’s wet... i draw that

oh...not sure...dont think so?

it’s a bit bolder and deeper and it’s very masc 💚

and i like it because it’s on like almost the least masc part of our very not masc overall shape

im still drawing those arm patches too

oh... lol
lano drew this and it’s a redraw of the one you saw earlier, me on a pillow

and it’s the first drawing with those patches. i managed to forget but yeah of course - between that one and the next...

of course those patches are the answer to the question ‘is there something in particular under those wraps?’

and of course lano is the one who asked that

since then they’ve become so part of me that i forgot......

ahhh the arm patches...i remember seeing these and wanting to ask about them but i think last time it crossed my mind we got sidetracked

yeah.........

I mean I'm semi-certain of what they are, I just remember registering the detail. But also dont wanna assume

...whatcha think they are heheh

hrrmm...ah, i wanted to check chat history but i think maybe Lan brought up what I'm thinking of when we were still over on bluesky

I assume it's related to the wraps Lan wears over her forearms though

yup... yeah

like i said, it’s lan who asked, and that’s because she’s got her own... you-know

so my bare arms stood out and she wondered

the truth is though, they don’t really mean anything specific... i have a vague memory

that maybe they grew in all weird like as i grew up / with puberty

and that for a long time it was a point of shame, something i thought was wrong about me that i didn’t have any hope of control over

except to hide it

it’s just a stand-in or symbolic shorthand for my body and gender and, like, more broadly identity stuff, all in all...

in this drawing and maybe most of my art now

it’s like... this is me as i am. and i like me. take me or leave me, eh? 💚
