Sensory overload & binding

The problem as a trans person with a really big chest (which I’m now gonna just refer to as my pecs), I have to bind every day. And I have methods to help with binding so I’m flatter like wearing a tank underneath so that my pecs don’t like overflow by my armpits and stuff. Basically its a lot of layers, and my biggest problem with being autistic is how bad my sensory problems are. Mine is connected to touch, and literally anything that touches me wrong can cause a sensory meltdown.

Then there’s like certain times where binding actually causes me to have a sensory meltdown. Especially when I am man-struating because my pecs are bigger and hurt; everything feels awful, so much that I would rather not bind, but I can’t do that either. I don’t have a choice. So I just have a sensory meltdown and a breakdown at the same time and I honest to god just don’t know how to deal with it. I can’t please them both. One part of me will suffer. Maybe I just need a different binder idk. Maybe the tank ones. Anyway I just wrote this after having experienced that again. It sucks. Everything sucks.

Some days binding is bliss and is the best thing in the world for me. Other days it is the source of my problems just cause I have overlapping issues and I just hate it.

Your Name

I originally did these for the League Big Bang, which I posted on Twitter~ It was a collaborative community project for League of Legends, and I was paired with a wonderful writer who wrote JayVik as a Your Name AU! I got to draw the artwork for it so I redrew some screenshots from the anime with these two~ You can read the fic here!: https://archiveofourown.org/works/39325170/chapters/98411499

The original Twitter post where I’ve tagged the writer as well as the collab is here: https://twitter.com/SelcricArt/status/1531350254951489536
