Sorry I haven't been very active. I know I said I'm here to make friends. There's just a lot going on right now. Friends coming from out of town, college crap, Halloween... A couple nights sick from feedings gone a bit overboard... I've just been very busy. I also have no freaking clue what to post on this account. I can't very well use my old OCs, though I'd really like to. And a lot of my high-quality work, fanart included, goes on my main. And, if you watch me, you might know I don't want anyone from my main knowing this exists (save for a few select people). I'm thinking about just doing fanart for DA artists I enjoy, but I hate promising stuff 'cause I have a bad habit of not following through. Any ideas?

Out
So I'm not dead. I'm just barely on DA anymore. But I do have good news: Over the last week, I came out to my parents, or at least Mom. I think Dad might already know, but IDK. ~iminconspicuous (https://www.deviantart.com/iminconspicuous) was visiting and I had him help me. And it went shockingly well :D . Mom doesn't totally agree, but I'm fine with that. Point is she isn't hashing over it or anything to me. And I'm really happy to not hide it anymore. If I wanna wear a trans pin or colors, or if I want to dress like a boy, I can do it now without having to explain myself. And it was a very casual coming out, not overly emotional or anything, which I am so thankful for. Mom actual
Help - cross-dressing and genderqueer
So I've just been feeling really discouraged lately. I've tried lots of things to pass, and I still don't feel confident that I can make it as a guy. I've got a binder, I've followed many make-up tutorials, I've tried putting on fake facial hair, I follow body-language tips. I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing. But I still can't fool people. It's still blatantly apparent that I'm a female. And I'm just starting to feel really cruddy about myself and cross-dressing. I feel like I can't and won't ever be able to pull it off.
Does anyone have any tips? Anything? I'm trying really hard, but I just can't get it...
Well, on a slightly l
Cross-Dressing in Public?
So I've been struggling with this for a while. I really want to be able to dress as both genders when I go out. But I never feel like I am really convincing as the opposite sex. I also have the issue that I live with my parents, and they don't know that I do this. So when I do, I have to take my makeup and "fake parts" and whatnot with me everywhere when I plan on doing it, so I can do it while I'm alone. And, I know it's not supposed to matter if you're "convincing" so long as you feel good about it. But, I don't really feel confident unless I'm REALLY making people think I am what I want them to think. It's that anal perfection from me cosp
Fan or Fandom?
Just a question out of curiosity. What, in our opinion, makes a person a part of a fandom?
I'm watching Frasier at the moment-- one of my favorite sitcoms. However, I've never identified as a part of any "fandom" for the show. Perhaps that's because there's isn't much of an organised fandom for this show. But I have the same feelings about other shows I watch. And it got me thinking: what's the difference between being a fan of something and being part of the fandom?
For me, I've always thought of a fandom as a network of people who like something. So in my eyes, you are part of a fandom when you actively participate in enjoying that thing
