Don't wake me up from this dream (Sketch) (Part 3) + Update
🕑 Added 2023-08-16 23:58:34 +0000 UTCPrevious part
Depression has been throwing rocks at me lately u.u But I'm doing what I can ^^
For a while, I've been developing a new character who is a transgender woman in her 30s and isn't as passing as Avelyn, to explore a lot more about dysphoria and depression (I'm still giving her a nice ending, but she'll go through a lot more pain than Avelyn does). I love Lynn so much, still, there are a few things that she (thankfully) didn't go through as much as other transgender women and I had to, so this woman (I like the name Magnolia for her, tbh, but I still haven't decided it xD) will be an outlet to a lot of more negative emotions. She's bitter and tired and may speak without thinking sometimes, but in the end, she's a good person who, despite feeling a lot of envy for Avelyn, is happy that Lynn is doing what she wishes she could have done younger.
I still haven't designed her, but let me know if you like the idea of her being part of the story!

Thank you so much! I think so, I plan on having Magnolia and another trans girl to represent different experiences, but the one I personally can identify more with is Magnolia, definitely, and I want others who can't identify as much with Lynn to have someone closer to them aswell (I just hope all that negativity doesn't end up making them feel worse TTnTT)

Thank you! ^w^ Yeah, I know that Magnolia's experiences will be a lot more like my own experiences than Lynn's are x)

Yes, I like the idea. I've been lucky to be in a good enough place for myself (despite transitioning at 37), but I've seen the pain of other fellow trans who haven't had as much luck as I did, and I think a character who represents a closer reality to them would be a nice way for them to identify with and feel seen and let them channel their sorrows at least a bit

Wonderful sketches! And I love the idea of Magnolia being part of the story. I think it helps show the variety of experiences we can have as trans people. And it helps a lot that you plan on giving her a happy ending. ^^
