cheeseloon angst!
one-sided love
yes it is :D
Right, considering the current state of corporate politics on this site, and that it seems that only those affected seem to be actively speaking on the matter, it is up to I, the only fucking cishet on tumblr, to drag this out to a wider audience.
We need to show these higher ups how much we truly value them.
been doing some toyhouse forum art games lately, here’s another drawing I made for someone on th :D
i love the art! (i commented more in the tags :>)

i like to imagine akari got to wear the uniform he wanted after the end of the manga. (who is this? pokemon history under the cut!)
for those of you who don't know, this is akari from the manga 'how i became a pokemon card (1999)'! (bulbapedia link)
he is a trans boy, and to my knowledge is the only canon trans boy in all of the pokemon franchise among the small handful of canon trans characters.
this manga never got an official localization, so how some chose to translate the matter of akari using different pronouns differs from translation to translation. the sentiment stays the same though - akari is a boy, though he was born a girl.
this and the tension it causes with his mother is the main focus of this chapter of the manga. i would even say the subject of dysphoria is communicated pretty decently for how old the manga is, though usually through the metaphor of pokemon!
though the ending for the chapter is kind of ambiguous, so i wouldn't call it a perfect representation, its still pretty cool to see a canon trans character in a manga thats almost as old as i am. thank you if you read this far, and please give this manga a read!
Disassembly Drone Body Langauge part 1
Mostly wings and some tail
probably gonna add some more unique ones once i figure this out properly. hrmmm
my important ones are the upwards wing pose being territorial / courting, and the tail wag being happy or on edge.
Some extras that i might draw later if i figure out how idk:
They will naturally wrap their tails around people they like in a wide arc. It’s something that could go unnoticed, even by the DD, as they just do it subconsciously. You can figure out who a DD is protective over this way.
Pointing their wings outwards but flattening them (rotating them into a horizontal pose instead of a vertical one) and crouching down a little is seen as being submissive. Dominant ones will normally have their wings positioned wider and vertical.
Also some elaborations because i like talking about shit i make up:
Sometimes when courting they’ll shake their wings a little bit to make them appear glittery or more flashy, which makes some soft clinking noises.
Their tails abide by dog and cat-like mannerisms. They wag when happy, tuck them under their legs when scared or worried, will slowly wave them around when agitated.
N does this unique (and cute!) thing where he holds his tail in his hands when he’s worried like some stuffed animal. kind of
anyways i love non-verbal methods of communication and i will do this again
colon three!
