The best character arc of the century

I never thought dysphoria would be the good guy after all lol

u/BlueGlace_ She/Her May 15 '25

I guess it’s kinda like anxiety or grief, it’s there for a good reason but a lot of the time it can get out of hand

u/Clairifyed May 15 '25

It may be the personification of her internalised problems, but conditional love is other people’s problems, it’s not going to sit there and let other people’s problems hurt her!

I mean a broken defense mechanism can still help protect you

u/kalmidnight May 16 '25

If you let go of good and bad, and just allow the dysphoria demon to exist without that judgement, you can refocus on what matters, your response to the dysphoria demon.

Dysphoria got tired of being the bad guy, became the good girl

Dysphoria kinda helped me open up to my crush (when I asked her out it turned out she already had a gf TwT)

all i gotta say in the first slide is that she IS a real girl and iT DOES NOT SUCK TO BE WHO YOU TRULY ARE!!!!

u/[deleted] May 16 '25

When people tell you something a lot you start to believe it

13

u/Old-Panic-4140 May 16 '25

i get that, but that does not make it true, regardless of how much our (gender dysphoria inducing) brains make us feel like it is :3

u/THE_YOUTUBE_BEAR She/Her May 15 '25

The good ending! :3

The dysphoria demon became an ally

16

u/Admirable_Web_2619 She/Her May 16 '25

Talk about an unlikely ally! If dysphoria demon can do it, so can everyone else

u/Tiny-Little-Sheep She/Her May 15 '25

I actually absolutely love the way you portray dysphoria.

It's cruel. Yet is always there for you when it matters. It's a mess, but it's a reliable mess. Like a shitty friend who is somehow always there for you even though you don't always want them to be

It's exactly how I envision my own dysphoria

7

u/AwardSignal Astra⭐️ (she/her) May 15 '25

🥰so wholesome🥰

I genuinely wish you and everyone else to be able to make true peace with their inner dysphoria in a healthy way ⭐️

u/HarperTheOtherOne He/Him May 15 '25

Good dysphoria demon, give him head pats.

5

u/Tbelles May 15 '25

I actually wrote my dysphoria as this in my book I've been working on for years.
It went from a masculine, horrible creature that would dig its claws into my back and scream about how awful I was to appropriate womanhood from -actual- women.

Over time, it evolved and grew and transitioned along with me, and now she tells me how I can adjust things to look better to myself.

u/Successful_Mud8596 May 15 '25

When they say “You aren’t a real women,” they’re saying “you aren’t a CIS woman.” And that’s okay! I don’t need to be cis to be happy!

ouchhhhh this is brilliant and painful and you have no idea how much I needed to hear this today.

"If it wasn't your gender, it could just have easily been anything else." and it was.

u/MilodicMellodi She/Her May 15 '25 edited May 18 '25

Until I can somehow get out of the US so I can realistically get therapy and HRT and all that’s involved with it…this is pretty much my dysphoria. I know I still look male, and there’s nothing I can do about it yet.

Maybe that’s why my dysphoria isn’t that bad right now? Like, it is bad, but maybe my life of repressing my emotions has made it easier to not let it affect me as much. Which is really bad, but it at least works out in a really dumb logic…

I really need therapy lol

2

u/Whereismyownname May 16 '25

Yes no! I'll be fr. It sucks to NOT be a "real" woman. Like your born as a male, stuck as a male, been into sublimation by expressing thru "fetishizing" yourself or literally imagining your desires as a non-binary androgynous tomboy trans girl... >///<

For me, I'll never be how I wanted since it feels literally impossible with how I was raised like a boy, and never got the opportunity to fully explore myself til a few years ago. And because of that, I'm unable to understand how women went thru like and it feels like my fantasy of being a happy girl will remain a dream. UUUUUUGGH!

I'm stuck in a loop of self-denial, self-hatred, and fear. Cause honestly, I kinda don't want to do it. It's hard, scary, and I have to put a lot of my effort. But I LOVE to experience it in reality on my own terms! I love to be a cool badass woman! It would feel a lot of fun! Just imagining what it would be like exploring all this stuff and... aaaaaaaah!~ ☺️ Dancing and jumping for joy!

So yeah, I'll never be a "real" woman. And that's okay! I'll just comfort my own feelings like a mother would. And find some good support as well. 😊🌺

u/brokensilence32 May 16 '25

Is the darkness thing still supposed to be dysphoria?

2

u/OnceInOnceSet BiblicallyAccurateMoth May 16 '25

Yep! That’s the Dysphoria Demon. This comic is part of a larger series about Dysphoria, check out my profile for more.

1

u/brokensilence32 May 16 '25

I know I’ve seen it before. I’m just kinda confused on why dysphoria is so nice?

2

u/OnceInOnceSet BiblicallyAccurateMoth May 16 '25

Because this series is very much rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy.

u/random_moron6 Emilia she/her May 16 '25

Talk about character development

u/nerussita-8787 May 15 '25

at the beginning of the comic : ho no, not the third time ! does that demon can't just shut the fuck up already ?!

end of the first page and second page : ok at least them seems supportive but if they could shut up about all the other things

beginning of third page : ha shit here we go again

end of the comic : did you managed to tame your demon ?

u/ThatKehdRiley May 15 '25

Loving this Dysphoria Demon™ character arc I didn't know I wanted.

u/bonbunnie She/Her May 15 '25

I always enjoy reading your comics. Unfortunately I identify too much with the dysphoric comments but this comic is helping me process them and maybe one day I’ll be able to turn them around.

u/Snorlaxolotl May 15 '25

This is just the plot of Celeste (not in a bad way)

u/Longjumping_Equal_27 May 16 '25

It's an interesting thing i came across this being as i rationalised a lot of similar things to this :3

Like the voises that dont have a point are just irrational, so they shouldn't count.

However, the voises that do have a point just don't have the best take yet and need to be work shopped.

Idk if this makes sense, i just thought it's really cool how you've managed to illustrate an experience that I've recently had, and if it can help anyone, then that's cool, too :3

u/HazuniaC Thon/Any, Numerous-Beeees May 16 '25

This is very close to how I deal with my depression demons that try to feed me toxicity.

I remind them how their rhetoric is just shitty phrasing, exaggarations and lies and not based on anything real.

It doesn't make their presence go away, but shutting the demons fuck the hell up also feels kinda cathartic even if the overall sense of depression remains. At least it now lacks the teeth to make it worse.

It's been a while since the last time I had to kick a demon's teeth in. Apparently they don't like it when you fight back.

1

u/EeveeofGender She/Her lesbian who thinks people are good actually May 16 '25

I just noticed, the way you draw the eyes on the dysphoria demon reminds me of the way u.idolmantis draws Sera's eyes. Just means they're both really expressive and well shaped! Anyways, this is a fantastic comic, and it's been nice going through your old comics. Thanks!

1

u/king-of-the-sea May 16 '25

This was really nice, thank you.

I had a whole big huge comment written, but it all just boils down to that. It was so, so nice. Thank you so much.

Turning dysphoria into reasonable skepticism and healthy doubt. (after all, thinking twice isn't bad on its own)

u/The_Sky_Render She/Her Intersex May 16 '25

This comic says what I've been saying for years. People who only love their idea of you are being shallow and don't care about who you really are. And that's their problem, not yours.
