The painting, is complete :3
but what’s in the middle
i feel so absolutely terrible asking for donations, but my situation is getting worse by the day and there’s only so much i can do
despite my compromised immune system i work part time (i’m an essential worker) but i make very little due to few hours.
i’ve lived with my mother for my whole life and she has always been incredibly emotionally and verbally abusive. since the start of the covid-19 pandemic, her treatment of me has become something i am unable to tolerate without shutting down. i’m at the point where it’s hard to function. each day is a battle with her that leaves me wondering if suicide is the only way out. she’s begun wildly gaslighting me and triggering shutdowns and dissociation. i’m so tired from both work and doing everything for her + my emotional exhaustion that i can sleep all day (and i do).
i have actually started a profile for affordable living for my boyfriend and i today, but nyc affordable living is a lottery you must apply for. my boyfriend is also a trans man and lives out of state, but was put out of work by the pandemic. his home life is also not ideal. at this moment in time, neither of us have the savings or income to even apply for housing. all that i know is, my mother is telling me i need to leave asap.
please, if you can, donate to help me, my boyfriend @dadbodsarehot, and my pet rescue duck into a better and safer situation. i didn’t know where else to turn.
please reblog this if you can’t donate. thank you so much, everyone.
here’s a picture of my duck, paz, to make you smile (you may have seen her around social media)

update 3: just a small one because i’m so tired of just everything. the house my one bedroom apartment (which i share with 2 family members) is located in now has bed bugs. mattresses and blankets are getting thrown out. who knows if we can afford an exterminator. i’ve lived here without a space of my own since i was 13 and i don’t care anymore about saving it, i need to get out.
my boyfriend sleeps on a recliner and it’s now broken. he has painful problems with his back and trying to use his roommate’s old bed is causing him immense pain affecting his sleep. long story short: we need to get a place asap. i’m always at work and half my minimal paycheck gets taken by by mother. please please please help. if we had a dollar for every note we’d be set. reblogs help so much if you can’t donate. thank you

why do grooms get one boring black jacket and brides get the most jawdropping gowns ever like when i get married i want pearls and lace and a train is that too much to ask??
Hnn could you imagine.. a suit embroidered with baroque pearls… a LACE CAPE gently floating behind the groom… a fuckin sword..
oh my god…. your m i n d…. the wedding industry is quaking
YO, there are SO MANY great groom outfits around the world where he is dressed all in silk, lace, gold, pearls and glitter, with capes and scarves, hats and stitchery and I find it so sad that most of these countries switch over to “suit”. Like, look at these handsome boys!

damn you western marriage culture
“Why do you beat yourself up so much over little mistakes?”
This is such a good illustration of emotional abuse
Just a reblog to spread the most UN noticed abuse, be aware
and reminder for everyone to be patient with your loved ones who apologize constantly, or have a really emotional reaction to something that seems insignificant to you.
In a nutshell
Guys, seriously. It will not get them to like you. It’s not flattering. Keep your mouth shut. Simple as that.
