"A bit of Magic"

You know, magic is fun, and so are facts. Especially when I can take the opportunity to mix both of them together, like now!

#trans
#transgender
#comic
#art

Me sitting on a chair in a corner with my magic stick going across it. Text reads: "So I've had this magic stick for a while now."

Me standing up in front of the chair, now holding my magic stick. Text reads: "Coincidentally, I also like sharing fun facts I learn."

Now up closer to me, I'm holding the magic stick in one hand. Text reads: "So, you wanna see a fun fact I can show you with a bit of magic?"

Me shooting off a magic spell that explodes into a giant burst of pinks, blues, and white, with "You're valid!" written near the top of the explosion.

And then when called out, they play the victim card

Chloe @chloestransart.bsky.social · 17d

"Live and let live", Yeah if you're talking about what game is better. This does not apply on people's rights. It's the same as "agree to disagree."

So true chiitan, very cool

Chiitan🌈ちぃたん☆ @chiitan.love · 28d

Chiitan loves all transgender people.
I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.
Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like.
love you all 🤍

"Feelings of Acceptance"

I showed this comic to an unmentioned friend of mine, and he described it perfectly. When it's cis people, your name comes off as a rule to them, but when it's other, fellow trans people, they understand the meaning behind it.

#trans
#comic
#lgbt
#transgender

Three people talking together about something. Text reads: "There's a difference when I hear or read my name. When it's from someone cis, even my friends, there's something about it that feels... Forced? Disingenuous? Something like that." Two of the people are also saying my name, Chloe.

Me standing to the side, rubbing my head with an awkward smile. Text reads: "I'm happy when they do say my name. I'm not going to deny it, and I'm thankful they do use my name. But there's a nagging voice in my mind." The thought bubbles read: "It's just for show. They don't actually think that's your name."

The panel is split into two halves. The top half is me looking at discord on my phone, focusing in on a message with my name. The second half is me in a discord call with other trans artists/friends of mine, and two are saying my name. Text reads: "But when it's somebody who is also trans, it changes entirely. It feels right. They use my name because it is my name!"

Me laying in the grass, under a tree, feeling warmth and bliss. The text reads: "They see me for who I am, not the person I was. And that feeling is pure bliss."

"So-called Ally" (2/2)

This is a responsible use btw

I turn and walk away, holding my magic stick over my shoulder. Text reads: (Me) "Sure, sure, I just needed to make that known. I'm not paying for repairs, by the way." (Fake ally dude, small) "Dick."

I used fireball on fake ally dude (:
He got sent put of the comic border (:

Text reads: (Me) "Fireball."

"So-called Ally" (1/2)

And on today's episode of "Chloe got a magic stick," I use it very responsibly.

#trans
#comic
#lgbt
#transgender

The fake ally man(™️) is sitting at his desk, reading something on his computer. Text reads: (Computer) "A trans woman says she doesn't have dysphoria." (Fake ally man) "Wow, that dude's gotta be faking it."

I blow through the wall of the fake ally dude's room with my magic stick. Fake ally dude falls over, out of his chair. Text reads: (Me) "And you're wrong! Just because they have no dysphoria, doesn't mean they're faking."

I stand in front of fake ally dude and hold my magic stick next to me. Text reads: (Me) "That's something an actual ally would know. You, on the other hand, are partaking in performative allyship. Which is particularly nasty of you, given everything going on involving this community." (Fake ally dude, small) "You blew up my wall!" (Me, small) "Only a little bit."

I continue to talk to the fake ally dude, presenting horrible news articles about the anti-lgbtq+ bullshit going on, specifically in America. Text reads: (Me) "I mean, seriously, would you want to be the target of endless harassment literally just for existing?" (Fake ally dude) "Okay, fine, I get it! Just leave!"

"Vocal fun"

Sorry for not posting any comics during June. I should've done that.

But here's a new comic to hopefully make up for that! I haven't decided if I'll make another comic for later in July, but we'll have to wait and see.

#transartist
#comic
#transgender
#lgbt

Panel one: Me sitting on what looks like a stick flying through the air. Text reads: "I know I'm not the first to say this, but voice training sucks! Pitch this, resonance that, give me gunpowder, and I'm casting fireball."

Panel two: I casted fireball. There's a big explosion and dust gets kicked up. Text reads: "I know eventually I'll get a good voice, but I'd like it to be now. Yeah yeah, I know I need to be patient."

Me flying down on the magic staff with images of impressions I can do around me, including Mario characters, pokemon, and oddly enough, Master Chief. Text reads: "But also, I spent years trying to make my voice deeper to do impressions. I've always wanted to do amateur voice acting."

Panel four: I'm standing, holding staff while looking angry. Text reads: "So I'd love to get away from the squeaky gremlin, and get more to "girl"!"

attraction. (feat. @chloestransart.bsky.social)

i’ve had a bit of trouble figuring myself out recently, yknow, considering i’ve claimed to be bi but not very attracted to masculinity (i’ve said i have a soft spot for fem guys, that’s the furthest i’ve gotten). but i’ve kinda got it figured out now

"Birthdays" (2/2)

Can you tell I kinda gave up with panel five?

Three scratchless boxes, all with me in them. The first one is me embracing a light, the other is me in the middle of a group photo where I am being focused on, and then just me looking happy. Text reads: "But I do have hope, at least a small amount of it. One day, I'll like my birthday again. One day, I'll be the one celebrated. One day, this animosity will be but a thing of the past."

A birthday cake with pink frosting that says, "Happy birthday Chloe". Text reads: "But until then, I guess happy birthday to me. The birthday girl."

"Birthdays" (1/2)

Birthdays I feel are generally hard for a lot of trans people. My feelings on mine definitely aren't the most positive

#transgender
#transcomic
#comic
#trans

A lit, melting candle in a dark room with scratches covering the upper and lower ends of the screen. Text reads: "It's my birthday soon, it's this Friday - 16th of May. But I can't say I'm excited. I haven't been excited for them in a long time. Sure, I like gifts and wishes."

A person resembling me with their face scratched hard, wearing a party hat. They are in front of a table with bland cake that has "21" on it. Text reads: "But I'm not the one being celebrated. It's him that is. Not me, I'm just faking it. And I'm reminded of that every May. The celebrations never feel genuine. No matter how much I could plead, I just know I can't have that one wish granted."

Three individual bubbles with a lot of noise. The first one is that same scratched out person nodding and bowing, the second is the scratched out person accepting a gift, and the last one is me, by myself, just laying on the floor defeated. Text reads: "But I nod. I say, "Thank you." I accept his gifts. They are mine, right?"

Three people, including myself, sitting around a table, laughing hard over a game of Cards Against Humanity. Text reads: "It's not even that I hate birthdays. They can be really fun! I enjoy celebrating my friend's. I just can't find a reason to justify my own. That's some imposter syndrome right there."

"Tall Girl Problems"

I would much rather take a step stool over these annoying things any day of the week

#trans
#transgender
#comic
#transartist

Me standing in a kitchen grabbing something from a cabinet. Text reads: "Being real has its perks. I like being able to reach the top shelf with no effort."

Me standing in a hallway with really tall heels. Text reads: "On top of it being some unavoidable dysphoria, I would die in heals! Emotionally and physically!"

Me tripping on some stairs after hitting my head on the ceiling. Text reads: "Needing to duck everywhere is also annoying. I'm only 6'0!"

Me looking very small on a pink blanket holding a spheal plush. Text reads: "I alto want to be small. My mental image of myself is a lot smaller than I actually am."

It's never shown on screen, nor is it mentioned. My guess is it was some, in this case, literal movie magic letting him have elytras (or at least "lesser type" of one) for that scene in the movie

Chloe @chloestransart.bsky.social · Apr 5

It's not trying to be a literary masterpiece. It's just a good time and, if you have good people to go with, you'll have one too

Chloe @chloestransart.bsky.social · Apr 5

Spoilers for the minecraft movie, BUT

This may have been the funniest experience I've had with a movie. The way the audience (and myself) blew up at the chicken jockey scene was astounding. It isn't trying to be a masterpiece, just a fun time. This was an insanely fun time

Also like I gotta bingo

"Noise"

CW: Negative thoughts

I truly do despise listening to my parents talk to each other like the walls aren't paper thin. I know I'll get out of here eventually, so for now I'm just bearing with it

Me sitting on my bed, leaning against the wall listening to my parents on the other side talking. Text reads: "Rfk said... Trump's finally..."

Negativity begins closing in around me as I listen to them more. Text reads: "God those people... They're so sensitive."

The image gets much more gray and bleak as I slump over and lay down. Text reads: "***** should just..."

Finally, the negativity and the noise becomes too much and I cover my ears, just hearing what they're really saying. Text reads: "We want to to die."
