Happy New Year!

Description

Ok so this year was SOMETHING, ALRIGHT.

It might've been utterly awful and traumatic, but it was also kind of... good, actually, for me.
I finally came to terms with my gender, realizing that I am, in fact, a boy (more specifically a demiboy). This took a long time, and it was rough and tough, but I'm finally happy with who I am and with how I identify.
I also started watching (and later on reading) Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, which, surprisingly (shonen is not my favorite genre in the slightest tbh), is something I absolutely fell in love with. Upon watching Jojo, I bumped into Josuke Higashikata, a little punk boy with a questionable fashion sense and a waist to hip ratio like the damn Pyramids of Giza. I saw this boy and I immediately fell in love with him, not only because of his personality, but also because of his figure - I'm a stereotypical Brazilian, so I've got a tiny waist and pretty wide hips, so seeing an obvious boy with a body just like mine made me feel much better about myself. I hold Josuke as a role model for that, and also, this boy is a boy whose soul isn't aggressive in the slightest (his stand is a fucking healer, for Christ's sake), who is kind and gentle and always willing to forgive and forget, but he still finds ways to make his gentle soul into a warrior, a weapon, he weaponizes his healing abilities whenever the people around him are in danger. I think this is the most wonderful part of his character: sure, he is gentle and kind, but if necessary he'll rip you apart unapologetically. I've never been a sucker for noble characters, but always been a sucker for characters who have flaws, who aren't 100% good, and who are human in every sense of the world.
Josuke is everything I aim to be, he's so, so very important for me, so I drew his stupid pretty face, because not only he was the reason of so many of my smiles and tears this year, he's also part of my resolution for 2017: I want to aim towards becoming more kind, more gentle, but also stronger, I want to be able to protect myself and stand up for myself, I want to be able to take no shit but still help old ladies cross the street.

Random rants apart, Happy New Year, everyone! May 2017 be a better year for all of us!
