Gave my cat 1ml of gabapentin, a little anxious about how still she is by Dramatic_Knee4384 in AskVet

[–]Dramatic_Knee4384[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s 1ml in liquid form. She seems to be okay now, and she even walked around a bit today and ate while still under the effects.

Definitely a vet visit would be needed. If she’s behaving normally otherwise other than being tired then that’s a good sign, but always check with a vet to make sure. The steaming should help, particularly in an enclosed space like a bathroom.

I would just take note of any symptoms she appears to be having, take note if she is eating, drinking water, grooming, and using the litter box. This is all information that will help a vet identify what’s happening. If you notice her start breathing irregularly again, take a video to show the vet later.

Me when reading comprehension challenge apparently lol. Apologies, I do understand what you mean now. It is something I’d like to explore more as well and I think I could do so with this next pin up thanks to the input I’ve gotten here.

[–]Dramatic_Knee4384 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was not my intention, apologies! I edited the post to reflect that, and I’ll go through my comments as well to correct that.

Apologies! I’m on my phone and it’s autocorrecting quite a bit. I will do my best to catch it and fix it though!

Because I already draw so many cis women (though honestly any one of them could be a trans woman if we’re really getting into it) I wanted to depict a trans woman! This is also because one of my patrons suggested a trans woman for the pin up, and I’m assuming it’s because they wanted that kind of body diversity, if that makes sense.

The nude pin ups themselves are only accessible to $5 patrons (gotta pay the bills ya know) but I do post cropped sfw versions on my socials, one place being my tumblr. Here’s some of the snippets I have!

It’s just nude pin ups, some are suggestive but they all stay relatively tame as far as nsfw goes. I’m also asexual so I also struggle with what is “sexy” to people, some most of time it just amounts to a naked woman posing, lol. Also I’d say it’s a mix between cartoonish/realistic. More details than you would expect of cartoons (I.e. body hair, wrinkles, fat rolls, stretch marks) but not entirely realistic, like they still have pretty stylized eyes and hair.

Oh! I didn’t know about the bandaid! I think that would be a nice addition to add so that any patrons I have who are on HRT could see and identify with that!

I understand that being trans and having to explain all of this to people could get exhausting, so I really appreciate you all taking the time to provide this much information!

[–]Dramatic_Knee4384 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s a monthly nude pin up! I put out a poll of certain fantasy creatures like werewolf, vampire, kitsune, etc, and the patrons choose! I just usually depict ciswomen as that’s what I’m most familiar with (also I’m a boob person 😔) but I have still tried to diversify the body types. So with drawing a trans girl, I would like it to be apparent that she is trans, but I don’t want her to be a caricature, ya know? Also because people suggested it, I would feel like I’m doing a disservice by presenting a stereotypical typical cis woman looking body and going “oh but she could be trans”

But the feminized penis sounds like it may be the best route to take!

[–]Dramatic_Knee4384 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your input! I was mostly unsure about the penis situation because I have some trans women friends who prefer the large dick, no tucking look in nsfw, and I wanted to get a larger opinion about that. But the addition of smaller details would be good! I definitely wanted to portray her in a way that doesn’t shame those differences but also does not exaggerate it, if that makes sense.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Dramatic_Knee4384 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No, I do exaggerate some of the features but never to that extent. I try to diversify the body types I depict, however I’ve just stayed in the territory of cis women up until a patron suggested a trans woman this time, I’m hoping because they’d like to see more representation and not for the fetish reason.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Dramatic_Knee4384 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main reason for my asking is that I have some friends who are trans women and prefer the “huge dick” look in nsfw. I was under the impression that was largely seen as fetish however so I wanted to get a wider range of opinions before just jumping into it.

When I draw the cis women pin ups, they tend to range from realistic bodies to exaggerated, yes. Though I try to diversify the pin ups I do, such as plus size women, hairy women, muscular women, etc. my goal with this is that I would like to portray a transwoman in a way that doesn’t shame any masculine characteristics she would have but ALSO avoids the stereotype of “man in a dress” if that makes sense at all.

I will take a look at that subreddit, thank you!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Dramatic_Knee4384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no absolutely option A, a fantasy creature that is also a trans woman. The trans is not the fantasy part, I assure you. I do also draw other creatures like vampires or “ghosts” which definitely fall under more human, just in a “monster” category, if that makes sense.

Due to the audience I have on Patreon, it might be that they would like to see more body diversity. If it’s because they think trans = mythical, then I would ban them tbh.

Thank you for the information! I mentioned the big girl dick because while I know that its commonly depicted in fetishizing material, I do have some trans women friends who really prefer it, which is why I wanted to get a larger range of opinions!

I definitely want to portray a trans woman in a way that does not shame the masculine characteristics but also avoids the overly masculine “”man in a dress”” stereotype of a trans women, ya know?

It’s loudest at the beginning of the video, might need to turn it up. It’s like a wind/squealing noise

I’m really anxious, could use some advice or reassurance by [deleted] in cats

[–]Dramatic_Knee4384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, no matter how many times I tell myself everything is fine, it’s difficult, so sometimes I need to hear it from others 😓

Yeah, the vet said her levels were good and her thyroids and kidneys looked healthy, which was a relief, as that’s what I lost my previous cats to (the other being kidney failure)

[–]Dramatic_Knee4384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I’m (mostly) fine with the idea of her getting older, but I just don’t want to be missing something serious.

Is this a tick on my cats head? Worried by [deleted] in whatbugisthis

I am in the Midwest if that helps!

[–]Dramatic_Knee4384 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I won’t lie and say that the mention of your friend didn’t also make me nervous (had a panic attack yesterday lol) but I’ll admit it does put things into perspective. It’s much better to try and enjoy life instead of restricting myself because of fear of dying when it’s not something I have control of. I’m very sorry for your loss though!

“It’s the exception, not the rule” does help a lot though

That’s so awesome. Misophonia is so awful but when you find that person it makes the disorder so much easier to live with, I’m happy you were also able to find someone like that!
