I Just Remembered My Second Pride, Where I Made Different Flag Themed Daisy Chain Bracelets/necklaces

I just remembered my second Pride, where I made different flag themed daisy chain bracelets/necklaces to hand out. I need folks to understand something:

They were free.

They were fucking free.

They were maybe ¢60 of acrylic yarn each at the most, and the whole ziploc bag of them took 2 hours max.

Three people gave me sad eyes until I took their money.

Someone who was clearly the mom friend of their group made me take a $5 and gave a 10 minute pep talk.

At least four more people insisted on getting change to pay for the, once again, free bracelets.

In spite of all these shenanigans, the absolute best was this one person who I can only describe as, “queer surfer dude who looks like a boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend.” I can remember nothing of the outfit, only the impeccable vibes. I did the same thing I did with everyone else, explaining the bracelets were free, and they nodded along as they took the last 6 strand rainbow bracelet. As soon as they had it on their wrist, they pointed at something over my shoulder and, like a fool, I looked.

Next thing I know, they’re running off cackling, yelling, “YOU’LL NEVER CATCH ME!” and I’m holding a fucking $20. I had to stop at least two people from chasing them, cause they thought the person stole something, and then they tried to give me money cause they thought it was funny seeing me flail over people being Too Nice.

That was the year I got reverse-robbed at Pride. I hope everyone out there is having a good time and, in particular, that queer surfer dude is out there still causing benevolent chaos.

In some black communities there’s still a stigma that kinky or coarse hair is “bad”, which couldn’t be further from the truth. There’s no such thing as good or bad when describing someone’s natural hair texture or type. To those struggling to love and accept their natural hair because of societal pressures, remember this - straight, curly, kinky or wavy, it doesn’t make a difference. Embrace your hair the way it is, no matter what society tells you. All hair is good hair. It’s your Crown.

I tried drawing my MC Aster from @fallenlightsif with her brother Ezrah. I'm not entirely sure how old they'd be in the picture, but I think Aster would be 5 or 6 ish?

Anyways, here are the adorable siblings! The line work isn't quite right, but I can't really fix it so I'll pretend there's nothing wrong (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

I didn't use the right tag originally... oops

Every adventure family has a himbo:

two mean bisexuals:

an even meaner lesbian:

He/They:

She/Theys:

an astrology bitch who knows everyone’s star chart:

a token straight capitalist who’s on thin fucking ice:

and two short kings:

My OCs (unorganized list)

I figured I should probably write down character names here because otherwise I will just not share/draw them. Almost all of them were originally D&D characters, but I got too attached, so they will have a comic at some point. Anyways, here they are (Name, pronouns, some things)

Madeline Wright (she/her)

Human/Werewolf, alchemist, poor little meow meow, likes tea parties

Lorelei Lunaris (she/her)

Moon elf, sorcerer, she who orders for the group, gold star

Griffin Oakman (he/him)

Half-elf, half-mad scientist, tall enough to hit door frames, BOOM

Lynn (they/just ask)

Genderfluid water genasi, florist, expert at making flower crowns, aloof

Nimani Lunaris (she/they)

Moon elf, wizard, nerd, good at maths

Gregory (he/they)

Human/Werewolf, ex-cultist, touch-starved, unconsciously quiet to the point of scaring people

Other Notes:

Lorelei and Nimani are cousins and are from a noble family.

Madeline and Gregory are half siblings, but don't know it.

Griffin's family owns an alchemy shop and has fey ancestors.

Lynn kinda just crawled out of the river one day. They might have parents, but they don't talk much.

Lorelei is the only extrovert in the group.
