I Was Hanging Out With A Transgender Polycule In Seattle The Other Weekend And We All Looked Like This

Also for all the blueberry posters, I am disabled and in a LOT of pain from doing so much standing today, so there might not be a blueberry post tomorrow, we’ll wait and see.

I was allergic to my carrier oils too and it was BAD, I was so confused because i went to a teach appointment and did injections with saline myself to practice, and it was fine; but as soon as I started T I was having full body allergic reactions and massive sores where I was doing my injections.

Anyway alternatives exist and now im on gel, thank GOD I have an uncle who’s on T injections (he’s cis but has a hormone imbalance) who I could ask advice.

PSA for trans people, trans mascs and fems, and enbies & intersex folks on T or E injections (or injections in general):

Your injections should AT WORST feel like a hard pinch if you hit a vein on accident. It should NOT sting the whole time, itch, be tender for more than a day, and should not cause significant bruising. (Edit!: This is the weekly injections, the monthly or longer lasting injections are sore for a while because the liquid is THICC.)

I was not told this when I started, and missed that I was allergic to my shots for the first 2 months I was on T. There is more than one type of carrier oil, and the type of T they prescribe most often is more likely to have allergic reactions (cypionate with cottonseed oil). You should not have to suffer more just to get your gender juice. You can also gain allergies over time, so if you start experiencing these symptoms, check in with your doctor!

(Another Edit: PLEASE talk to your doctor before assuming stuff, I'm just a guy on the internet trying to make sure that y'all have more info.)

Tips for less painful/irritated injections I've gotten from people (all anecdotal, again, check with your doc):

-Intramuscular injections are usually less likely to be irritated than subcutaneous ones.

-Lightly wiping down the needle you are going to inject with with some rubbing alcohol before injecting. (Make sure it dries)

-Rub VERY hard with your alcohol wipe before injecting to numb up the skin a little bit.

-Make sure to rub the vial between your hands to warm it before using the draw up needle. It makes the fluid less thick, so it’s less painful to inject.

(I'll add more if people share)

im sorry some of you are too blind to realize big tits no bra is a masculine look for the ages. butches and trans men who rock this are by far gds strongest soldiers

I also forgot to mention! The very obvious theme of motherhood here, especially when you look at Sarto’s other works, infants and mothers are very prevalent.

One of the first things I thought when I saw this piece for the first time was the way it feels to raise a child while being surrounded by violence. To nurture a child, but you cannot change what they’ll be exposed to.

Now that I’m looking for common threads between Sarto’s works, consumption and predation are both extremely relevant.

The framing of this piece COULD even be to suggest the woman and baby are also among the meat to be consumed, thus the name— they’re in the butcher-shop as another product, not as predators themselves.

I still don’t understand the frog symbolism, but that’s another frequent mention.

I’ve been thinking about this piece for weeks. I keep coming back to it trying to figure it out. I’ve seen some discussion, but no interpretation has ever really resonated with me.

There’s nothing particularly uncanny about the woman or baby, the surroundings seem normal for them. The lighting is bright, the room is cluttered but not obscured. The meat frames them in, but I’m not sure if that feels like an oppressive force.

The surroundings are visceral, but not scary in any way. Despite the raw meat, there’s no blood in the room, It seems clean.

The only conclusion I can come to is it’s about survival, food, and eating. The baby breastfeeding vs the butchers room. That comes back to the title, though, which doesn’t make much sense to me in that context.

There’s also several feminist and class conscious readings you could do of this; but I’m still not sure.

Please help me figure it out, I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts on this piece!!!

Headcanon that horn color = blood color. Methinks subspaces horns used to be more red, but after he got poisoned, his blood turned more pink.

No idea how this would work with coil, hes an enigma. I looked at gameplay and it looks like only his crystal horn changes color, so i assume its the crystal at work

Also dyeing your horns is more like painting your nails, and you can put fun designs and patterns if you want. Maybe even the glitter clear coat

"And adding to that I also want to say that their bones match their blood and horns. I just like different colored teeth lol"

Everyone say thank you american indigenous people for cultivating corn, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, cacao, pumpkin, squash, and anything i missed. Makes life more meaningful globally
