#Introductions !
Hey! I'm Ren.

I'm a grey fox, an artist (primarily with watercolor, ink, and acrylics), a nonbinary trans girl, and I dabble in just about everything creative. I also struggle with severe depression and use platforms like this to discuss and process it.

I have a terrible tendency to avoid initiating social interactions, but please, feel free to talk with me! I'll open up rather quickly.

Heya!
If you like my art and want to show some support (or even if you like my ramblings), I have a Ko-fi!

Any contributions are greatly appreciated!
And if you want to show support in other ways, boosts, likes, and comments are always welcome!

Thanks,
Ren

Depression is starting up extra early today, and I don't really have the strength to deal with it right now...

I would like the chance to start over - with a different body, different experiences, and a stronger mental constitution.

So why didn't the Death Star break apart when orbiting Yavin (or later Endor) so closely? It was probably well within its Roche limit.

I sincerely hope that internet comments sections are not representative of the societal whole. Because if they represent the thoughts of the average person rather than selecting for only the most extreme ideologies, then the world isn't going to last much longer.

Anyway, I'm tired and I got little done today other than depressive sleep (I've been worried about the general downturn in mood that I have had lately).

So goodnap, and may tomorrow be better.

The trans "egg" narrative isn't quite for me.
My feelings have never been so strong or immutable as to inevitably lead me here, and saying otherwise seems a bit presumptuous.

Of course, for those who do feel as though their identity was always a part of them waiting to be found, I can see the comfort that might be taken in it.

My personality has had enough plasticity that I might have ended up any number of different ways, and I cannot say that this is who I will stay or this is who I was "meant" to be. I am happy with who I am now (mostly - there are always things to improve), but I am no more or less a complete and developed individual than I was before.

Note to self:
Choose style of glasses that my eyes can resolve when I'm not wearing glasses.

Me on a good day:
Everyone is cute!

Me on a bad day:
I am part of everyone. I am not cute. Therefore not everyone is cute.

That's... usually about as mean as I care to get.

MST3K, also known as Mystery Science Theater 3 & Knuckles.

Foxes:
Are they just tiny, wingless, non-magic, fluff-dragons?
The answer may surprise you.

Oh wait, I've met a winged fox before. They are definitely magic too.

I live for the a-paws! A-paws! Live for the a-paws paws! 🎶​

Awakeness has been forced upon me. I really should work on getting back to sleeping in one solid block rather than during the day and at night.

Though it is kinda cool to be crepuscular like a real Pinocchio. I mean fox. Like a real fox.

As has been the case recently, after opening an art program and looking at the picture I'm working on for a while, I lose focus entirely and feel like I need a nap.

Well, no point in forcing it.
