Art/Creators Megathread Weekly Art/Creators Promo Megathread

3 Upvotes

Welcome to this Week's Art/Creators Promo Megathread!

Here you can share examples of work and links to creator's profiles (including your own!) as long as it is not on a Meta owned platform (Instagram, Facebook etc.) or Twitter.

Let's help our community artists, authors, designers, craft makers, musicians, singers, sculptors, performers, streamers and any other kind of creator get recognised and celebrate the amazing creativity in our community!

A few quick rules:

  • No AI/NFT Content.
  • Accounts shared must be creating own content, not solely reposting others.
  • NSFW Suggestive art (e.g. shirtless/pin up) is allowed but must be tagged. NSFW Explicit art (e.g. pornography, genitals visible) or NSFW suggestive of real people is not allowed. No links to exclusively 18+ platforms e.g. OnlyFans.
  • Creator must be actively posting on a platform other than Meta or Twitter.
  • Comments from users with less than 50 karma on this subreddit will be auto-removed to avoid spammers. (I will look to approve genuine ones when possible but no promises!)
  • Please respect if a creator says no reposts of their work - just share a link.

The art/work they create does not have to be LGBTQ+ related, we're here to help any creator who is LGBTQ+ promote their profiles, particularly if they're trying to establish themselves on a different one with the recent social media drama!

Looking forward to discovering some new creators with you all!

Need Advice Can a 13yr be Asexual??

63 Upvotes

My friend was talking about her sexual attraction to her boyfriend and I have never felt such attraction to anyone. Obviously I love people romantically and platonicly but I've never felt like, "yup I wanna fuck them". I have a girlfriend and I love her but I could never love her sexually. I see nude bodies more artistic then sexual and don't get aroused from seeing them. I understand I could be young but it's been hitting me recently when I heard kids in my class talking about sex they've been having (which I think is way too young). I'm almost in high school and I'm aware sexual feelings can develop around middle school but I haven't been able to feel anything towards people in that manner. Is it possible I'm asexual or maybe just not fully developed??

me and my friend disagree on transgender people?

32 Upvotes

me and this new friend(?) of mine recently got into a debate of transgender people and the meaning of gender.

he said that he thinks transitioning “has its cons” but he is friends with trans people and respects them. he also views gender as very black and white. i personally, think the opposite. gender affirming care is life saving and gender is a social construct that fits everyone differently.

we decided to agree to disagree, but i still feel weird about it. i don’t want to be friends or ass with someone who is iffy on the rights of trans people.

should i stop talking to him? or do i agree to disagree?

I think my classmates are homophobic

• Upvotes

I never came out to any of them, not even my best friend because it is not that accepted in my country. I thought that my classmates really don't mind but it's just so disturbing to see them being offended when someone calls them a lesbian and they throw a homophohic slur and call them gay. Why is being queer seen as a "bad" thing? I always wonder how the world would be if people started to not give a fuck about others' sexual orientation.

Why do you care so much whether they want a girl or a boy as their life partner? It's not hurting you, is it?

Need Advice Am I actually bisexual, or do I just want to be? (18M)

4 Upvotes

Ok I'm 18M and like a lot of guys here ive been straight my whole life. I've had expereinces with women that's all good. I've also always been that frined that makes loads of gay jokes, and because of it for a loooong time ive gotten gay allegations, most jokingly but i have been paused by my friends and genuinely aksed if I am attracted to them. I've always said no, and my answer is still no. I don't think this aspect has a lot to do with what im struggling with rn, but worth mentioning i guess.

Well since about a year ago the idea of me being attracted to certain men has been floating in my head, and doesn't feel completely unnatural. Weirdly its mainly anime men, like gojo, geto or sanji ifkyk. The problem is that when it comes to real life I extremely rarely see a guy and think 'oh shit' in that way. In fact it's maybe only been about two or three times fr. It's this specific aspect that's messing with me so much, cause even though in a way i feel kinda bi, in practice its rarely feel it. Like at work I work with a lot of guys and not once do i feel aattraction towards them, and i don't feel the constant slight pressure to impress men like most straight guys do with women. Idk I guess it can feel like I'm faking it or that I just want to be bi and am not actually. Also, the fact that im pretty straight presenting makes it harder to fully accept it and I'm also 6'6 and go to the gym so I have a decent build so I'm way bigger than most guys, even the ones that i have found somewhat genuinly attractive, which gets in the way of what i would want when with another guy which would be to feel more relaxed and not have my guard up, unlike when i am with a woman i am attracted to. I guess i just want peoples views on it, and some advice on how to move forward, and wethers its ok to be like 5% into guys 95% into women or something like that?

Thank you

Few points of interest:
- I have bisexual friends telling me that to them I am clearly in denial HAHAHAH
- I have pecked a guy friend whilst drunk on various instances

- I have fantasized about getting with guys, wether that be having sex or just making out, but when I look around at real guys I don't super rarely see anyone I'd actually want to do that with

I finally came out to my parents but now I feel a bit vulnerable

• Upvotes

So I'm bi and have known for years, and last night I came out to my Dad in the car on the way to a football game. He's always supported gay and trans rights and I remember him bollocking my friend years ago for a homophobic comment, so I knew he'd be chill about it but it still felt scary for some reason

His reaction was basically "fair enough, how long have you known", and when I said I used to feel ashamed he reassured me there's nothing to be ashamed of and said he's there for me. And within 10 minutes we were talking about other things and went back to normal. Which for me is kinda perfect. I don't want it to be a big deal, and he basically said I'm the same person and it's not a problem, and then we just carried on talking about football and stuff. And we went on to win the game for an added bonus

So I'm definitely glad I told him. He said "looks like you've got some confusing times ahead" and made it sound like I can figure things out without feeling the need to hide it anymore which was nice

I came out to my mum years ago but said I was confused rather than saying I'm definitely bi. But recently I've realised it's definitely not just confusion, and I told her again so she knows properly now. Her reaction was very similar. I'm lucky with my parents as they're both pretty liberal when it comes to people being who they are and neither has ever had any issue with sexuality. They used to go to the rocky horror show when they were younger and dressed up in fishnets and makeup and everything. So idk why I even felt scared to tell them lol

So yeah I'm definitely safe and accepted, but for some reason I still feel vulnerable about it. Like this is something I've carried on my own for years and felt a lot of shame for growing up, and now suddenly the 2 people who raised me know about it. I know I shouldn't feel vulnerable and I want to shake it and be more comfortable, but I'm not sure how long that's gonna take

So I guess I came here to ask if anyone else has felt like this after coming out and see how they managed to feel comfortable with people knowing. And I suppose I feel a bit guilty for feeling vulnerable when I have accepting parents, as I know a lot of people will have homophobic parents and genuinely feel unsafe, and I feel like I shouldn't be having issues when I've grown up in a safe household. So just tryna feel comfortable and be myself without feel off about it

And I also just wanted to share as I am also quite excited about it. Like I can really be myself now without hiding that part of me!

I don’t know what to do anymore. It’s painful not knowing what the right thing to do is.

8 Upvotes

I’ve come across people who claim that transgender people who haven’t undergone gender-affirming surgery are “fake,” or that they have “internalized transphobia.”
And it’s not just one or two people—quite a few people seem to believe things like this…
That’s not true, is it? It’s perfectly okay to be transgender without undergoing gender-affirming surgery, right?
There’s so much criticism that I’m feeling completely overwhelmed and distressed…
Personally, I believe that if someone identifies as transgender, then they are transgender, regardless of their body, appearance, or whether they’ve had surgery. I also believe that gender-affirming surgery should not be a requirement for someone to be recognized as transgender.
But there are so many people criticizing others for this (or maybe they’re just the loudest voices?) that I’ve reached a point where I don’t know what to believe anymore.
Please, help me…

Need Advice Mother bought and ripped up a children’s book with queer parents

34 Upvotes

My mom bought this children’s book where many different types of parents were portrayed. It talked about how some kids have one parent and some kids have gay parents. But also it never explicitly said these things. I didn’t get a good chance to read it, she let me look at it shortly. But it was like just the kids saying things they like to do with their parents like playing baseball and it would say, I like playing baseball with my dads. At first when I asked my mom why she bought it she said the illustrations were cute. The next day she said the book was evil and went against the Bible. About a week after this I find the pages ripped out from the book and set in a stack on the table. My mom claimed that the book had gotten wet and the pages ‘fell apart’. Yeah sure they fell apart in perfect pages torn from the book. So now she has the pages stacked and she took them and put them somewhere but did not throw them away. It’s super weird. I’m wondering if maybe she’s going to burn them? I love my mom and I knew she was homophobic but this is strange even for her. Sometimes she has these weird weeks once every couple of months where god “tells her” to do things. I’m wondering if this is one of those times. One time I got a comic book that featured a sapphic couple and she found it and read it and said god “told her” to get rid of it as it was very evil. And this was maybe two years ago. But she’s back at it again. Then she had the audacity to ask me why I was acting weird but I felt super awkward and upset. Sometimes I forget the fact that if they really knew me they would hate me. I just need to vent so I’m not really sure what I’m expecting here but I’m just so frustrated and unable to move out at the moment.

Need Advice Don't feel good in relationship

• Upvotes

I'm bi and now in relationship with a gay man. He is kind to me and understands me, and I love him—but we only ever talk when I reach out first. Because of this, I feel like I’m begging for his attention; sometimes he won’t reply to my messages for 6–8 hours. I don’t need him to text me constantly or respond immediately, but it would mean a lot to me if he initiated the conversation at least occasionally. I’m hesitant to bring this up with him, though, because I’m afraid it might lead to the end of our relationship—and I don’t want to lose him. Need your advice

Need Advice Can’t figure out if I’m gay or bi

11 Upvotes

I’m a 17M and In the past year I’ve realized that I find men attractive. I’ve never been that into girls my whole life, I can definitely recognize that some are really good looking but they just don’t make me feel how others I’ve talked to describe it. I’ve tried talking to girls in the past and could never get into it that much, I just felt like something was missing. While with men on the other hand it feels different, like it’s something I actually want instead of what is “normal”. I force myself sometimes to watch straight porn to try and see if I enjoy it, and the whole time I feel miserable and stressed out. The whole time I can only think about how I don’t want to watch it, and guys I think look attractive. The thought of being with women in general kinda stresses me out while with men it’s the opposite. I try to fantasize about women but I genuinely just feel kinda uncomfortable the entire time. I feel like part of me must like women tho since I keep watching straight porn to see if I’m attracted to the women in it, even though it makes me feel really bad. Is there any questions I can sit down and ask myself to figure this out?
