i felt like last blog was too heavy so ima do another one rn wishmeluck
i fucking love women, like oh my god what an inspiration. tall women, strong women, short women, middle aged women, old women, young women. i love them all. middle aged women is the flavor of the month for me, as a woman that will be one soon (28). i guess depending who you ask, i could be middle aged now. why the hell do you never see any movies or shows with middle aged women as the protagonist? and all the ones i can think of are comedies or otherwise unserious. nothing wrong with that but speaks to a weird bias that devalues the lives of women post their optimal birthing age lol. aren't they people? aren't they valuable? middle aged women are often the lore keepers of families, collecting photos and recipes. they're beautiful and strong and passionate and funny and charming. i want to make a story that speaks to middle aged women everywhere and makes them feel seen and worthy of love and fulfilling life.
its weird to call myself a woman for some reason. my approach to my gender has always been; "i guess." just cause i don't love labels, but i identify with my womanhood somewhat. i was raised by my dad so i've always had a deep admiration for men and strong figures. so a woman strong figure? we ride.
i used to be a not-like-other-girls girl unfortunately. i didn't like "girly things", i hated pink, girl toys, make up, etc. i have long since learned that that was just an unfortunate byproduct of our misogynistic society. i support women no matter what they want to do, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone or themselves. i've even opened up to a lot of those things myself. i love dresses and pretty jewelry and i've had fun expressing my femininity now that i've kinda woken up to it. i wanna be jacked someday too tho <3
ugh but i hate convention. period. like in art, i've started to get pretty face burn out. i want to see more characters with grit and flaws and sweat.
i had fun with the art for this one.
im eepy so this one is short :P love you

roll it again
