In ~these Times~ It Is Important For Queer People To Be Reminded Of What "coming Out" Originally Meant.

In ~these times~ it is important for queer people to be reminded of what "coming out" originally meant. "Coming out" did not mean telling all of your co-workers something super stigmatized and vulnerable about you, wearing your queer status on your sleeve in public, informing the police or government institutions about your sexuality, or even telling your parents. "Coming out" meant venturing out into the queer community; being among other queers as a queer yourself.

Coming out isn't about telling the entire world when doing so is not safe for you, it's not about arming your enemies with information they could use against you. No, coming out is about making a fulfilling queer life possible for yourself through participation in the queer community. It is about escaping the restrictions and dangers of the cisgender heterosexual world by rooting oneself more deeply into the queer one.

And you can always do that. No matter how oppressed we are. No matter how much the culture shifts and policies are enacted to terrorize us. We are always able to be ourselves when we are amongst each other. And living our queerness has always been a collective social project, not just a matter of personal exposure.

ethics of making AI images aside, I do find a bit amusing the kinds of sob stories and mental gymnastics people make up to pretend like drawing is this super technical skill with an impossibly high barrier of entry when its like one of the first hobbies toddlers pick up

suddenly a lot of people think they got the next Lord of the Rings in their head but they were never able to turn their stories into anything tangible because the evil elitist artists are hogging all the talent and skill and they need a bajilion years of training or something as if one of the most popular manga and anime of the past decade wasn't made by a guy that draws like this

I Love Stained Glass.

I Love Stained Glass.

I love stained glass.

This was largely inspired by this collection of photos; I'd been wanting to do a redraw of an old stained glass founders drawing from a while back and it was such a perfect reference I knew I had to give it a go. It kinda fits into my medieval au, although it's a lot more extravagant than is probably realistic lol.

Some fun things to note:

It's based off of the ending of The First Battle with the founders swearing their devotion to Starclan. It's more supposed to depict how the modern clans (or kingdoms) remember the mythology rather than being an unbiased depiction of events.

It's displayed at four trees, hence the oak leaves bordering each window.

When Sky's Kingdom left the forest Cloudstar broke Skystar's window in anger. Rather than repair it the other monarchs just removed the window entirely.

The two skeletons represent Jackdaw's Cry and Falling Feather; I imagine they're remembered as a cautionary tale about the dangers of sharing blood across kingdom borders (as well as representing the mass grave buried beneath four trees)

Storm is remembered as the first angel of Starclan and is said to be the one who covers the stars and moon with clouds to show Starclans anger.
