Introspective Sad Soft Boy Postcard

Oh, Introspective Sad Soft Boy...

Have one of these soft boys in your life? Gotta collect them all!! 

I started drawing these lil' trading card inspired illustrations to show my gratitude to the boys in my life who are very soft and trying their best to distance themselves from toxic masculinity. It is a HARD THING TO DO, especially when being toxic is still pretty rewarding in our society (but less so~~~ and changing~~~).

This series is also an effort to encourage dewds (and friends of dewds) to please continue to go against society's "manly man" expectations, support marginalized groups, and be good allies. We really do need you to continue to challenge other dewds to adjust their outlooks since we sometimes cannot reach those types of people alone.

So, thank you to the soft boys out there! I see you and I want you to stay!

Paradise Lost: despite being successful and well-liked, this boy is just one NY Times article away from a complete breakdown.
Egyptian Cotton: is genuinely confused when people still want to be his friend even though he is extra awkward in social situations.
{Obliviously charming, well-intended worrier, very soft. This boy can stay.}
