This is an old family picture.
My family does not support my being in the LGBTQIA community. They actually are opposed to it. They tell me every day that its disgusting and that it’s sinful and I’ll go to hell for liking women.
I moved out when I was seventeen, and in January I moved back in with them because I couldn’t handle everything that was going on. Every day one of my five siblings tells me to go back to Minnesota. My little brother Charlie (the black baby in the picture) is now 8 and he constantly physically attacks me and tells me that I’m not his sister and to leave. My other siblings make it very obvious and clear that they don’t want me here and my parents tell me constantly that they’re gonna kick me out soon.
I’ve been saving every penny for a bus ticket to Oregon to stay with my best friend and today I found this picture in my sisters’ room ON DISPLAY. Not hidden. On display. They cut my face out of the picture.And that… That was just the last straw.
I don’t care if anyone reblogs this or whatever, I don’t wanna get popular, I just want people to know that this is not what a family looks like. This is not something people should have to go through.This is no life.

if I was an actor in something popular, I’d go to cons cosplaying that character
except I’d get a really shitty party wig and sew a terrible outfit out of costume satin
and then if I got called out on how terrible my cosplay was
I’d rip off the wig and tearaway cosplay, revealing my real hair and outfit underneath
and be like
“I AM THAT CHARACTER”

I hate it when people treat being an artist like it’s a privilege. Like it’s just some golden star that fell into my soul one day, and gave me all of the skills and all of the talents and ~why oh why~ can’t I just be happy with my mistakes because some people don’t even know how to get half of the way there.
I am still a student of my practice. I am not even at a fraction of the kind of level that I would be satisfied with.
Don’t tell me not to point out my mistakes.
Don’t tell me not to try and improve.
Don’t tell me not to want to be at a higher skill level than I currently am.
I’m sorry if you decided to pick up art a week ago, and are struggling with how to outline a basic hand, and it makes you feel insecure about your work as I fully shade a piece and talk about how shit it is. But I’ve been doing this all my life, and I have way more investment in becoming better at it than you can probably understand.
Don’t guilt trip me for wanting to improve.

What are studios looking for? How can I get into a good animation school? What should I be studying?
I get a lot of these types of questions now and again, and I never know how to answer them. I can’t be sure of what studios are looking for, I don’t control admissions policies to schools, and I have little idea what makes for a current and relevant curriculum. There are a lot of variables in your bid for a career in animation, and it’s kind of impossible to control most of them. You must be crazy to want this job!
I find it helpful to focus on the things I can control. Among those things are your study habits and how you spend your personal time. It’s good to work hard and have goals—without them we would get nowhere. Study hard and make decisive strides towards achieving your art goals. But in the heat of that pursuit, don’t forget to go out and live your life!
If you spend any amount of time looking at artists online, you’ve probably figured out by now that there are about a million dudes and dudettes in internetville who draw better than you (I relive this realization daily). Once your have done your best to rise to their level, the only tool you have to compete with these crazy talents is your background, your personal character—is you!
Consider developing your whole self with the same raw focus and intensity that you develop a particular skill set. Get focused. Go out, have adventures. Run, jump, skin your knee, fall in love, root loudly for the away team at a baseball game, barely escape a crash of stampeding rhinos, live to see another day. Experience things big and small. Go for a walk. The world is full of wonders.
I know this advice is not particularly animation-specific, but maybe that’s for the best. At any rate, it is something I feel strongly about. Animation is great, and there are few things that I enjoy doing more than drawing and storytelling. But in order to have stories to tell, first you have to live them.
Be good, and see you soon!
PS, if you were looking for advice on draftsmanship you should probably be reading this.

So I looked up the origins of the word “Slut” and it was Norwegian for “mud.” From now on that is how I’m going to use the world.
Wipe off your feet, don’t want slut all over the clean floor.
Don’t go down the dirt road its been raining for days its going to be all slutty.
You’re covered in slut!
Yes. I shall now use the word slut for mud.
YOU DON’T OWE YOUR PARENTS ANYTHING
IT WAS THEIR CHOICE TO HAVE, KEEP AND RAISE YOU BUT IT WASN’T YOUR CHOICE TO BE THEIR CHILD
ANY EXPECTATIONS OR IDEALS THEY TRY AND ENFORCE ON YOU ARE BULLSHIT IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THEM
THEY SHOULD ACCEPT THEIR CHILD AS THEY ARE NOT JUDGE THEM ON A MINOR DETAIL THAT DOESN’T AFFECT THEIR LIFE
DO NOT FEEL BAD IF YOU AREN’T THE PERFECT CHILD YOUR PARENTS THINK YOU SHOULD BE
