THE BLANKET THAT CAN NEVER BE DRY

Hi! I'm Liz. I'm an angry white queer from the U.S. and I post basically whatever catches my interest. Mostly fandom stuff these days (Homestuck, Legend of Korra, a lot of other things.) A lot of text posts. Also I'm genderqueer, they/them pronouns please.

I AM TAKING COMMISSIONS!

My art tag (mostly fanart)

Sketches tag for things I don't want cluttering my art tag (also mostly fanart)

Work I do for school, stuff that's not fanart, etc.

It's sort of a random question, but do you know what the "*" in trans* stands for? Google and Wikipedia aren't helpful. Also, keep being awesome, Liz c:

ah well from what i’ve understood it’s supposed to be a way to make the term a bit more inclusive for everyone—that is, people who identify as non-binary, transgender, trans man/woman, transsexual, etc.  it’s a nice catch-all.  obviously not everyone needs to use it in all situations but i enjoy it because it is generally the most inclusive term.
