Bisexuality isn’t exclusionary of nonbinary genders, pass it on.

Although “bisexual” is sometimes interpreted as “attracted to people of two genders” it can equally be read as “attracted both to people of one’s own gender and of other genders,” with the binary being between “same” and “different” rather than “men” and “women.”

i think the biggest way you’ve inspired me with my art is pushing me to the realization that all art is valid. that applies in the big ways, like subject matter, but also in the small ways. like now when i’m working on something i no longer think that “thick lineart isn’t the right way to do it” or “shading isn’t supposed to look like that and that’s not the proper way.” obviously there’s a level of more realistic or not, but now i’m comfortable in deciding where on that line i want to be

I don’t know your skill level obviously, but I get so many messages from young or beginning artists who are so consumed by the idea that they can’t be an artist until their work looks like someone else’s; essentially, they want to stop being themselves, and they won’t believe they’re valid until they can’t see themselves anymore. And it’s very heartbreaking because it’s so ubiquitous and such a hypnotizing fear that people can’t see how simple it is to escape.

So it’s really really nice when I get a message like this. ?
