my name is SEOSAMH SABHRANN DÁIRE. as béarla you can call me joseph/joe. i've been trans forever and i make a million awesome things all the time.

i missed TDOV on here, oops.

• read my two comics SUPERPOSE (made with @kingfisher-cove 🖤) and BIRTH OF THE SUN

• and more at 198X.love/hardpacker

i crunched the numbers and i've been trying to be as Joe as possible for over half my life, at least consciously— lord knows i was trying well before then, too. i conceive of my child self as a boy not because he was treated as one but because the instances in which he could be one were when he was happiest, all those billions of years ago. in 2001, 2002 i felt and saw a brief flash of something while puberty fractured the timeline. between 2006-2009 i tried to and eventually found the words. started T in 2013. started changing my documents in 2014. changed my name again later. and then had surgery... in February 2025. lol.

i'm not even that old, really, but it does feel like it, clawing my way towards myself when no one wanted the same for me. as far as that goes, i regret nothing. but it's hard to come up with something big broad and uplifting! i've struggled not only to escape past abuse, but also financial insecurity, and treatment-resistant depression for most of my life, too. the things i make and do exist within and alongside this, or in windows of time where it's not as hard. i try to hope it's all been worth it. i hope i'll feel like it has been. i hope it won't always be so tiring. i hope for shelter and comfort and relief, time and patience, for me and you.

i didn't make The Vision of Escaflowne, but you can still watch it.

for another queer scifi comic similar yet very different, you might also see: SUPERPOSE

happy tdov. i make stories about trans people navigating harsh worlds big and small and carving out a place together, even when anguish and despair doesn't give way to bright glimmering positivity, you must hold each other close regardless. also impossible machinery (mostly big but sometimes small.)

with the occupation continuing their devastating bombing campaign (as if they ever stopped!) there's also the real concern of being cut off from all contact with the world. i've been talking a lot with my friend and brother Ahmad, and on top of the other assistance his family of 9 (including his disabled parents and his brother's young children) desperately needs, he'd be incredibly grateful if you could help him raise $500 in order to keep his internet connection.

update from Ahmad: giving his thanks for your help and detailing his mother's degenerative illness in his own words,

his whole family is currently living in his destroyed house as they have nowhere else to go. thank you so much for continuing to share and for any contributions. as you know, any amount goes a long way, as well as makes him and everyone in his position feel less alone.

i was really worried because Ahmad didn't message me at all yesterday, and before that, sent me recordings of the bombings, planes, and the harsh winds ripping through his destroyed home. luckily i'm back in contact with him. unfortunately, his account has been marked as spam on bluesky, part of an ongoing pattern of the site & its users going after some of the most vulnerable people who wouldn't be using it for fundraising purposes if they didn't have to! so thank you everyone for continuing to share this, it's a huge help.

edit just got word that the occupation is forcing him to evacuate, again.

i was leafing through some of my traditional pieces and thought to say— i don't have much time to make big lush paintings anymore, and my interest has shifted toward telling the stories in which all those characters, and people like them, appear. my older work is of course still here as well as free to view on my site 198X.love/saint-vagrant

truthfully i never Stop doing anything, i just can't guarantee the same ambiguous/disconnected rhinestone-laden pieces right now. not because i don't like them! and i'm very happy that anyone ever liked them. anka and i have been making SUPERPOSE for [redacted] years, and it, and myself, and the work/intent surrounding it, have evolved in that time (thankfully!) and i think that's reflected in where my attention's shifted. character-driven stories has always been my main passion, my main method of communicating myself, and it's become more and more satisfying to find the ways i want to tell and present them.

so thank you for your support then and now, of any of the work i've done over the years— it's hard to express my gratitude in a way that appropriately honours what that support means to me, but i feel it very much. and i hope you enjoy SUPERPOSE, BIRTH OF THE SUN, and whatever else i do 🖤
