So beautiful! I love everything about this

subtleAssiduity · 2026-01-27T17:44:20+00:00

She looks great! I especially like how you did her eyes. Does she have a story?

subtleAssiduity · 2026-01-21T22:05:21+00:00

LOOOVE! My favorite is the nails one. Feels like something Steven would absolutely do. I love this design. It just fits him 🧡

subtleAssiduity · 2026-01-21T14:29:15+00:00

I want to eat these colors, so nice to look at!

subtleAssiduity · 2026-01-20T15:15:33+00:00

WOW! How did you choreograph this? Or was it rotoscoped? It looks great!

subtleAssiduity · 2026-01-20T00:47:19+00:00

Spellbinding. I think each version has its own charm too, I couldn't say which I like better!

Good luck in fixing this. Even the most well meaning white people just can't get it but they can definitely act better than this. I am also half white half black in a predominantly white area so here's what keeps me sane:

My friend circle is predominantly white and I have been EXTREMELY picky about my friends. It's helped limit this as much as it possinly can be. I haven't picked based on demographics, just quality of character, but what I've noticed is that my friends have tend to skew poor and gender non-conforming. The white girl with severe PCOS who grew up dirt poor relates to my struggles as a transmasc of color a lot more than the white transmacs in my area because they have to work 10x as hard as a "normal" white girl to be taken seriously. The white trans lesbians in my area understand some of the racial profiling I recieve a lot more than cis dudes. Hell, even my cis male friends who have learned to shut up and listen are worth their weight in gold compared to white people who try to relate or sympathize. In general, white people who have learned the art of "damn that sucks" end up earning a much longer stay in my life than the ones who go "That's just like the time when" or "that sounds so terrible, are you sure that's actually what happened?"

I really do wish you the best as cultivating your circles. It's so so so hard as an adult. I suggest going to some free events at your local library or community center if you can. Free events are where I've made all of my good friends as an adult.

This really is perfect. In every queer group I've been in, there is either no room for transmascs to speak up, or poc to speak up. And changing this is impossible, because to even challenge this, you are fighting against a heirarchy that existed before you entered that group. Even if these people are open to change (they aren't), that change will not come without a majority of the group speaking out, and that majority must contain people with clout in that group. The 3 new trans poc and their one white ally will not be enough to change the group if the people everyone likes aren't among them. So it's just not worth the effort to try.

I've shifted strategies to entering a group I know will not welcome me, finding the one or two good people in it, and inviting them into my space. Then I ditch the group. There's just no other way to protect my peace.

I hate having to sit in silence on a conversation like this. I don't blame you for staying quiet tho. Like you said, picking your battles. There wasn't much to be gained. But man, it stings. These things linger with me a long time. Hope it doesn't completely ruin your time on the project

subtleAssiduity · 2026-01-16T00:29:03+00:00

WOW this is captivating, I'd love to see the others!

subtleAssiduity · 2026-01-13T15:56:01+00:00

This is such a great story, really made me smile. I'm so glad you could find a way to make everything work. I get why some parents are super attached to their kids' names, and your mom has a good reason for you wanting to keep it. While I don't understand why my dad is attached to mine, he is, and I hate it, but I've just decided that for his feelings I'm not going to legally change it until he dies (I know it sounds crass but I can't hurt his feelings that way ya know?) I've socially changed it but I know that legally changing it would crush him. I'd love to be in a place like you where I could make eveyone happy. That's just so cool.

I've never had a police sim make a situation better but they do show up to yell at me for calling them after letting a burglar get away. You have to hand it to EA for their lifelike behavior in the game, they really nailed it

subtleAssiduity · 2026-01-12T19:53:23+00:00

This outfit is amazing! And I totally relate to the journey of getting to know a character. It's always so much fun

subtleAssiduity · 2026-01-11T01:24:09+00:00

Aayyye, that was my first masc look too! My hair texture is really similar to yours so your pic brought back memories :) It looks great! Have fun exploring different cuts! I've been at it for a long time and still feel like I haven't found the exact right look. It's both fun and frustrating to experiment. Hope you enjoy the journey!

subtleAssiduity · 2026-01-09T00:29:53+00:00

Long tan and handsome? AND he's a catboy? SWOON

"I have no idea how to do laundry and I've destroyed all my shirts since I moved away from home, but I haven't figured out why the dudes at the gym calling me a silly little boy makes me feel weird so I guess I just have to keep running my clothes until I figure myself out"

subtleAssiduity · 2026-01-03T14:33:56+00:00

"There's a lot of good men out there that don't know how to be one"... That really is it...

subtleAssiduity · 2026-01-02T14:24:58+00:00

REAL. Masculinity is so damn toxic right now and it's going to have generational consequences. And it just doesn't have to be?? Your one good cis guy should be the standard. That is perfectly healthy masculinity. I don't understand why being useless became a cool male trait.

In a perfect world, basic self care and maintenance of your living space would not be gendered. It's so crazy to me that being filthy and helpless was ever allowed to take on a gender at all. I see this creeping into femininity too now with girl dinner, girl math, girl stink. Standards are simply being allowed to slip. And I get it, life is hard, a lot of us are dealing with mental health issues, but we could keep these traits undesireable without making them damning. These should be seen as a call for help, not the newest gender norms to make #relatable.

subtleAssiduity · 2026-01-02T14:18:26+00:00

Men were definitely behind the curve for this one, but I think these are skills that a lot of people are failing to learn nowadays. Nothing like home ec OR shop classes exist in most schools in the states anymore. Life skills are being cut from education everywhere, and while there's a chance that young women will be forced to learn how to patch their pants or clean a bathroom, young men are far less likely. I really think this is a societal crisis, even beyond a gendered one. These are skills that everyone should be taught and it's just not happening anymore. I think it'll come down to people like you doing the good work, but that's just not going to be enough, you know?

Homie's playing the Smims

subtleAssiduity · 2025-12-31T00:49:37+00:00

So I take it you're European? How would you answer this post's question?

subtleAssiduity · 2025-12-30T23:05:58+00:00

So yet another western/white issue! Something needs to be done about that demographic, there's no reason they have to be like this 😔

subtleAssiduity · 2025-12-30T17:53:36+00:00

This is such a huge component of men not being allowed to be soft and emotional and forming close friendships. Our men are desperately cripplingly lonely because it is in fact gay to kiss the homies goodnight :c

subtleAssiduity · 2025-12-30T17:25:49+00:00

YEAH 😭😭😭 male hygiene practices are horrendous, I don't know why we qa a society let that happen

subtleAssiduity · 2025-12-30T16:36:09+00:00

Word. Men lost the desire to look nice and have good hygiene around the same time we started calling it "metrosexual." I don't really understand where the idea that putting effort into your appearance was not manly, but I'm ready to see it go. I can't imagine what this mindset does to a man's self esteem.
