It's cool that often when an artist does a face reveal, you can see their face or features or style in their art. Like when pets resemble their owners. makes sense that when I most disliked myself, I vehemently hated my artwork and my inability to communicate what I wanted to
Something I've heard tmascs express grief over is losing inherent acknowledgement of (or solidarity over) the pain of childhood once they're seen as grown men and I'd argue that 1. Women aren't actually given much space to process it in broader society
4. The lesson to take from seeing women comfort and heal together is not that it's only possible for them. Or only possible by staying closeted. We have to give it to ourselves. As for anyone who can't stand to acknowledge the reality of our struggles, the fault lies in them.
