pride flag art (genderfluid edition)
I’m going to attempt to follow along with Tumblr's pride month thing, so here’s the one for yesterday! (prompt on flag and pronouns)
The flag for sexuality and romantic orientation, I may or may not do some art for later, but here’s the one for gender (pronouns he/they/she):
Stellarlune: Linharucarella edit
Originally, the plan was to edit in Dex’s head, but once I saw Maruca and Marella were on the next cover, I couldn’t resist adding our hydrokinetic queen instead.
(thank you, Jason Chan, for the giving me opportunity to procrastinate that ever-growing pile of homework, my professors are going to hate me now)
Linh’s head and the clasps are from the art by Michael Machira Mwangi that goes along with her short.
(the change in Marella’s cape is due to Sophie’s hair not being there to block the bottom, and my indecision over whether to draw the rest of the cape or send it off into the void. Looking at the original picture, I’m leaning towards the void option, but I ain’t got time or patience enough to figure out how to do that, so weird folds it is)
Things that, as a Cuban, I never expected to read:
“After over 60 years of dictatorship, Cubans all over the island, are taking to the streets to protest the regime.”
“Cubans are tired of communists ruining their lives. Protestors are chanting in front of Communist Party Headquarters "Cuba isn't yours!"”
“An unprecedented rising up of the long repressed Cuban people against the totalitarian regime that has run Cuba for over 6 decades, demanding an end to the communist dictatorship screaming “we are not afraid… we are not afraid.”
SHOCKED. PROUD. EXPECTANT.
