Hello, welcome to my blog. You can refer to me as Tobius or Stainy, my pronouns are He/him/his, It/is. This blog is not explicitly 18+ - but I am, so minors please be aware. I will occasionally share suggestive content.
I'm a disabled indiqueer aromantic transmasc artist (art blog @Stainy-Doodles ) who has ADHD and enjoys a plethora of things, and my blog can be a bit all over the place because of that. I have been on tumblr for years now, and it's a place of comfort and community for me. I try my best to listen and learn, and improve for the future. My blog is an important place for me. I want it to be a place to share things I enjoy, share information, and hopefully help people even in small ways. Sometimes I lack the energy to engage in anything besides scrolling and reblogging, or checking on a few particular blogs then leaving. So apologies if you ever reach out and don't get a response. If you need me to tag anything, content or trigger wise, just ask and I'll make an effort to do so for your sake.
androgynous plague doctor whos “mask” is actually just their face. yes they did their own gender affirming surgeries
theyre happy to give you some too, if youd like! just.. bear in mind the fact that they dont know what anesthesia is. also sometimes the leeches tend to be.. well, “handsy” isn’t the right word - given the lack of hands - but its close enough for now
Discussions of trans women in sports often focus on elite/professional sports which honestly I find it hard to care about but the more common scenario of “we’re going to legally ban a high school girl from playing sports with her friends because she’s trans” is just profoundly evil
i remember when utah’s (republican) governor ended up vetoing a law banning transgender students from playing high school sports when he looked at the numbers, and there were only four trans students in the state playing sports at all. he released a clumsily worded but surprisingly compassionate statement about the decision.
I must admit, I am not an expert on transgenderism. I struggle to understand so much of it, and the science is conflicting. When in doubt, however, I always try to err on the side of kindness, mercy, and compassion. I also try to get proximate, and I am learning so much from our transgender community. They are great kids who face enormous struggles. Here are the numbers that have most impacted my decision: 75,000, 4, 1, 86 and 56.
75,000 high school kids participating in high school sports in Utah.
4 transgender kids playing high school sports in Utah.
1 transgender student playing girls sports.
86% of trans youth reporting suicidality.
56% of trans youth having attempted suicide.
Four kids and only one of them playing girls sports. That’s what all of this is about. Four kids who aren’t dominating or winning trophies or taking scholarships. Four kids who are just trying to find some friends and feel like they are a part of something. Four kids trying to get through each day. Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few. I don’t understand what they are going through or why they feel the way they do. But I want them to live.
of course, it didn’t amount to much. they overrode his veto. it’s just so cartoonishly evil. an entire state’s political body so desperate to terrorize this one little trans girl.
I might not fully understand @pangur-and-grim ’s Skeleton x Sentient Sword romance story but it fascinates me and I respect the everloving hell out of it!
It also hit me like a bus with an idea and I had to at least TRY to draw it.
thank you for capturing how viscerally uncomfortable a sexualized sword/skeleton pairing is. like it’s genuinely hard to look at. huge advancement in technology.
Decided to do @color-palettes January color palette challenge, because I love doing limited palette work.

but have you ever even heard of the fynbos biome ?!!?!?!?!
a biome so unique in south africa that it’s earned an entirely new biome classification for itself. so many plants are endemic to this area, and ofc it’s under threat of extinction.
It’s a wonderful place! I had the privilege of visiting the fynbos last year and it was as amazing as these photos show and more!
