Wow, this... makes me feel things. I'd name the feelings, but emotions are tricky. It's very beautiful. <3
💜💜💜
One of the best compliments you could give me is that my art makes you feel things. Thank you
this one is nice!
long jackets are kinda cool. they need to at least go over your ass.
Thank you :)
it’s a reference to this song Short Skirt / Long Jacket - CAKE
and also this photo from before I transitioned
i fuckin love that outfit, damn <3
awww thanks. The first time I ever went out in public not as a man was when I wore that outfit to a club
wow, this makes me feel... nostalgic? longing? i'm not sure, i can't quite put my finger on what emotion it is, but i absolutely love this. it's very clear why this would be important to you :)
thanks for sharing!
p.s. i think your name is common enough that you don't have to worry about anything :3
I realized today after posting this that I feel like I’m embodying the girl I was depicting in the zine for what feels like the first time :)
Thank you for opening your zine for us, it speaks volumes about your journey and is so special and precious. Really hits me in all the right places and the art style is really neat.
I love it!!
What a nice compliment :)
Girl I fucking love this. I read your post about being anxious about revealing your name but I'm so glad you posted it, it's so beautiful and it just made my cry instantly.
I’m glad I decided to post it too :) Life is too short to worry, and I feel i’m finding a good community here so the risk is worth it
I’m happy you connected with it 💜
Is the way I’ve included alt-text good?
yes i think so. i can read it by hovering over the image (in lemmy web UI).
yay :)
That’s so cute, I love good vibe zines.
Now this is good art! Fantastic work, Vivian. You’re also now a member of the first name crew, and myself, Brooke, Nissa, and a few others are glad to have you.
Never stop making art.
Thaaannnnnkssss 🤭
This made me all giggly and blushy. I appreciate the compliment
Wow what great company to be in! First name crew ☺️
I don’t plan to stop :) Maybe I’ll post some music sometime
Awww, that's real nice :3
Took me a second to realize what a pan might do there x)
Might encourage me to share some myself.
I hope you do share something if that feels good to you :)
I cracked like an egg into a pan LOL 🍳
Nono that’s a joke I actually just love getting down and dirty with cookware
Haha, oops, thought it's just playing on pansexuality, move along 😅
that’s what it was I’m just being a goober
Ah, gullible me strikes again :3
sorry sweetie 🤭
A while back, I learned about all the discord girls having their preferred colors for heart emojis. Is yours also purple (as mine is)?
My favorite color is green, followed by gold, followed by purple :)
💜💜💜
Very regal!
this feels powerful holy shit
I didn't even know what a zine was before this, very unique :)
Thanks! They’re very fun to make, especially in a group with friends. My YDSA chapter has had a few zine making workshops (I made this at one) and they are great for distributing art and political education to a lot of people!
