I’ve had this question asked to me many times over the course of being a Brony musician. I used to see Forest Rain as being androgynous— without a gender. So I used gender neutral pronouns “sie” and “hir” to describe the character. My OC has always been a reflection of who I am. However— people learn more about themselves, and change and develop as life goes on. And this leads me to an important announcement:
I have recently come out as trans.
This may come as a shock to some people, and others may be asking, “What do you mean, trans?” I am a transgendered individual, who was suffering from gender disphoria— I was born as a boy, however I’ve always felt something was kind of off. Through (many) years of self-discovery, I realized I’ve always identified more as a girl than a boy, and I wanted to do something about it.
In this past year, I’ve been undergoing medical treatments to feminize myself, and I’ve finally gotten the courage to come out to everyone close to me— including my parents and boss. This has been an overwhelmingly positive experience for me. Physically and emotionally, I feel so much better than I ever have.
Being transgendered isn’t scary. I know many people like me. I’m not depressed, or confused, or anything like that. I’m happy, in love, and I’m planning to move to the States to be with my fiancé, Rebecca. I’m probably the most normal and boring person you’d ever meet, aside from the stuff that’s happened in this fandom.
Forest Rain, as a personality, showed everyone that a “normal guy” can be a brony musician and make music about love, beauty, accepting yourself, and celebrating differences.
That was one of the things that I was afraid would be compromised if I came out— that suddenly the “normal guy” would become a weirdo, and suddenly Forest Rain would be discredited somehow. But I realized— because of who Forest Rain is— because I celebrate differences, and teach people to accept themselves— it would be disingenuous of me to hide who I am.
I’m proud to be a part of the LGBT community, and I will always stand up for the rights of lesbian, gay, bi, trans, and queer people.
But what does this mean for Forest Rain, the Brony Musician? I’m still working that out. I know I will continue to make music, I’m just not sure exactly how my transition fits into how I make my music. I will continue to be a part of Canterlot Hill, and a regular host on Elements of Harmony, and my Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr aren’t going anywhere!
So, why is my OC a girl? Cuz I am a girl! And I’m proud to be one!
Love,
~Jessie

Wow everyone look at this- this is an amazing tablet, and I wish I had seen it before I just dropped $170 on a small intuos 5This is called a Tursion Huion tablet- looks pretty simple right- kind of like a bamboo
here’s the thing. This tablet has 2024 levels of pressure- that is the equivalent to the pressure an intuos 5 currently has (retail price: $229 for the smallest)
You can get this lovely tablet for under $50 dollars on amazon
Only thing this beautiful table it lacking is a few simple buttons, but still, I mean, its drawing area is even bigger on average then most Wacom’s small tablets- and from the reviews ive seen on it people are very impressed….so just spreading the word around that Wacom isn’t the only one that is making good tablets- the more the company is spread perhaps they will come out with even better products that not only match up to Wacom, but are with in our price range for once!
You an buy one below at the link!
[link removed]
I literately just bought one of these and got it today omfg, its great you guys ok!
Reblogging for my drawing friends.
Reblogging to spread the word, it has good reviews and is a great alternative to WACOM.
I’ve been using a Huion for the last few months and I LOVE it. Mine cost me $75 and it’s comparable to a $200-$300 Intuos). You don’t need to break the bank for the sake of digital art!! Wacom isn’t the only choice for a quality product anymore.Just letting my artist friends know that you get what you pay for.
I saw a post just like this but for a Monoprice tablet. The description the OP gave was just like this if not fucking identical, as well as it had lots of pretty little reblog comments like “Yeah I got this it works sooo weelllll~”
Yeah, no. That shit be a smelly ass scam that is identical to the smelly ass scam trap that I fell into and I want to PROTECT YOUR ASSES.
It didn’t take me ONE MINUTE to google search this fucking tablet, and find already, like, link four on google, WHY YOU SHOULDN’T BUY THIS TABLET. tl;dr, Unlike the Monoprice tablet that I got suckered into, this one actually will install, only you’ll never be able to switch out of it from pen mode to mouse mode, the surface isn’t even usable, and you do not get what is pictured here in OP’s post.
I know Wacom is expensive, but it’s also worth coughing out the extra twenty dollars to get a functional, reliable, and actually-trusted-by-broke-artists-everywhere tablet, than to fall into a scam trying to look for the cheapest thing you can get.
Here, here’s a Wacom Tablet for $66 on Amazon, about the same size and everything, only, hey, this one is usable. Don’t waste your money. I hate wasting money, just don’t do it. You think you’re saving money but you’re not. Just get Wacom.

Fucking Tumblr has ruined me.
There is an Easter egg in Skyrim and it’s a skeleton arm in the middle of a lake holding a sword, a reference to Arthurian legend. It looks like this:
You know what I think of when I see it? Not The Legend of King Arthur. Oh no, I think…
EN GARDE FUCKBOY.
Really? My first thought was “Is it a bug or a feature?”

Boy am I sure glad
She’s frozen in there
And we’re out here
And she’s the sheriff
It is so exceptionally hard to pull off that cartoony look, but this chick like… knocked it out of the park. Perfection.
OH MY GOD THIS COSPLAYER
seriously JUST BROWSE HER GALLERY
Hollywood: “But we can’t make the costumes look like they do in the comic books or cartoons! It’s too unrealistic!”
Me: “Lies!”
Hollywood: “It won’t look right!”
Me: “LIES!”
Hollywood: “Fans demand realism!”
Me: “YOU SIT ON A THRONE OF LIIIEEESSS!!!!!”
holy
There is so much talent! She does plushies and wigs and costumes and makeup and, like, i just really appreciate cosplay i want to cry.
She’s everything I aspire to be

Submission: “I thought you might appreciate this. In supreme irony, some people STILL managed to get offended at a blank square that was specifically calling out people for censoring things that offend them.”
Bloody fuck, tumblr did find a way to be angry at a blank space.
YES TUMBLR SJWS ACTUALLY GOT OFFENDED AT A BLANK IMAGE
THEY CALLED AN EMPTY SQUARE WITH NOTHING IN IT “BIGOTRY”
THAT’S HOW DESPERATE TO BE OFFENDED THEY ARE
THIS IS IT PEOPLE
THIS IS THE SMOKING GUN
They didn’t get offended at a “blank image,” you elephantine dingleberry. The artist is literally claiming that they can’t think of a cartoon that doesn’t put somebody down for their race, gender or religion. You don’t have to be an “SJW” to find that a fucking pathetic message.
I think it’s pretty funny that these guys consider any sort of criticism just “people getting offended”, even mocking criticism like the stuff in the image. Do you think that when these guys get a low score on a test they’re like “damn, it seems my SJW teacher was offended by my answers”
You are all literally making this a self fulfilling joke I mean the whole point is “you can’t make a comic that isn’t going to upset somebody” and you’re all getting upset by it
dragondicks continues to not know when to shut up
OMG YES THANK YOU, THIS IS WHAT TICKED ME THE HELL OFF THE OTHER DAY (Reblogged on the same day that the Paris incident happened btw, which shows the poor taste this people have).
I’m so glad that people GET IT.
Urggggggh, and I also love how they are like LOL LOOK AT THESE SATIRIC ARTISTS NOT BEING ABLE TO DRAW ANYTHING WITHOUT HAVING TO MAKE FUN OF SOMETHING.
Yeah because Satire is jokes about rainbows and flowers…
Oh wait, no it isn’t, satire is making fun of shit by highlighting flaws in society and higher powers (religions, governments, corporations, extremist movements, etc.). But nope, let’s live in a politically correct world where fun is not allowed and self reflection through humor is the worst thing ever.
A world where getting offended for a cartoon justifies the killing of people.
Fuck this people.
The point of the comic is to make fun of how overly sensitive people are. I mean, there is a line somewhere, but it’s not where many SJW say it is. No matter what is drawn or said, someone somewhere will find it offensive. Proof of the fact is that people are getting offended by a blank picture that was made to call out people whining about the littlest details and seeing connections that aren’t there.
