⋆˖⁺‧₊☾ The world in his arms ☽₊‧⁺˖⋆

Another older drawing I had forgotten to post but it's a must! Nothing beats those sweet soft moments in a Guardian's life. And nothing is cuter that little puggles an I had to include baby Harlan, so little, so teeny, so loved 💖

And then he proceeded to yap about Start Trek extensively all night long~🖖 I always imagined in my mind this is how these two met, since you know...Moonwatcher and Lunama-Re, its almost like it was meant to be~ I love these cuties so much I ended up coloring this old ass sketch in to share the lore 💖 and subsequently stayed in my drafts for wayyy to long oops ▸ 【 Some more about Lunama-Re 】

"Does Knuckles wag the base or tip of his tail-" FOOLS. He wags his entire body, like a large excitable labrador, then gets aggressive like a chihuahua because how dare he look cute even for a second out of pure happiness.

🌈 Seth :3c

🌈 What is their opinion on Pride if it exists in their world? Have they been to any parades, or parties? Seth: Have I ever. I've been attending pride parades ever since they first started happening. Even in old photos you could see how young I looked. I didn't even know how to style my spines or try to dress as much as I do now! Seth: My thoughts and feelings for the event are... my. I can't really put it into. In the earlier days it was more of a protest and in some cases a riot. But the goal was the same, for people to show that they weren't ashamed of who they were even if others thought it was a 'sin' or whatever bullshit they'd spew. They were here to stay no matter what and were fighting for their rights. And even then, when I barely knew much about myself. The very much I knew is that I wasn't exactly 'straight'. So I stood by them, and even as my identity changed as time went on. I'd always go to pride events, even as the event changed too. Seth: I'll always treasure my memories with the pride events, from the very first to the latest ones. Everyone should have the right to be loved and love themselves for who they are. Seth: Happy Pride Loves. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Iris: Happy Pride!!! -waves a little flag around enthusiastically-

Spectre: Happy Pride Month Iris. … …. What’s this?

Iris: Well.. since you all were kind enough to make me a lovely cake last year for pride, figured Thundy and I would make you a little cake to celebrate you this time~

Spectre: Hm?

Thunderhawk: Iris brought up how awesome it was that we were becoming more comfortable in our own sense of identity and how wonderful it was to celebrate that. 

Considering that you made such an important discovery about yourself along the way we wanted to celebrate that, and what a better way to celebrate than making you a cake! -He smiles at his grandfather- we just know how much you looove cake!~

Spectre: …This is… for me?

Iris: Yup!  All for you! -smiles-

Spectre: -gives a small smile in return- You two are too kind, thank you for this, truly. 

Thunderhawk: Oh it’s nothing grandpops, you deserve a bit of celebration too. Happy Pride! And try not to eat all of that in one bite -he chuckles- 

Spectre: … … no promises…

💌Sabre

[💌] Have they ever had feelings for someone else that they confessed, or have they had someone else confess to them?

Sabre has had a rather complicated relationship with love in general. As the Guardian lifestyle tends to come with their own restrictions and weight of expectation, it made the concept of falling in love and raising a family more of an expectation rather than a choice. This made building relationships in general hard for Sabre, especially coming into a culture that wasn’t his own, moving from the Lost Tribe to Angel Island. For most of his life on island he was rather standoffish and kept to himself, until he met Jenna-Lu; with the pair quickly becoming friends and eventually casual lovers. He could tell that she adored him, to his own confusion, and he had a great deal of love and care for her too, even thought it was hard for him to grasp emotionally. Whether it was an immense fear of commitment or a lack of romantic desire it was difficult for him to express or reciprocate love as most individuals do.  It wasn’t until one day that Jenna had the boldness to confess her love for him that made him consider the seriousness of their relationship. As flawed as Sabre viewed himself her love for him never faltered, she always has such a patience for him, and never gave up on him, something he grew to cherish immensely in his life. As much as Sabre struggled with the concept of romance he did have love for Jenna, and her companionship give him a light in his bleak little world. It took a while but he’d eventually express his love for her in return, even if it was in his own awkward way, she just appreciated him being able be vulnerable and express his own feelings openly.

Theodore 🎐

[ 🎐 ]ㅤ.ㅤdo they have a sound, like a song or voice, that they associate with peace ?

Theodore thinks for a moment, but it doesn't seem like he's unsure... more just thinking it over, a small soft smile forming on his face. Theodore: (he chuckles) I'm sure due to my musical interests, that I'd be likely to name a type of genre or an instrument. Theodore: But...no. That wasn't my answer. Not even close. Theodore: My wife's voice... Ume. (he smiles sweetly, looking down as he thought of her) Theodore: She was a very quiet woman, her voice soft and gentle. When I first met her she barely spoke a word. So terribly shy, couldn't speak good english... I don't even think I heard her speak to me directly. Only ever heard her speak to her family in her native tongue. Don't blame her one bit, she was far from home and her family had just started trying to build a new life on Angel Island Theodore: But I remember the first time she said something to me. Just saying a goodbye to me. I was over the moon. I was the first person she spoke to outside her family I felt so honoured to get her to open up to me. Theodore: But I especially think of one thing she did... (he laughs softly) With people, she was shy. Even as she got better at talking in english. She was still reserved. But with anything else, little creatures, bugs even her plants. She'd talk to them, even sing to them. So softly and silly-like. It was so awfully cute... Theodore: The happiest and calmest I'd be if I could hear her singing. I knew if she was she was at peace herself, happy and calm. And one of my fondest memories would be when Seth was still a newborn... I'd hear her singing to him. Lullabies in her language... I couldn't help but smile. I managed to get one moment of her singing to her baby on an old film camera. Theodore: She was very embarrassed at the time but she let me keep the footage for myself. That's all I wanted it for. I always told her how much I loved her singing.

Theodore:...I might have to go try to find that film, try and convert the video maybe... what i'd give to hear her gentle voice again.

🎨Thundy :p

Thunderhawk: I’d say I’m Bisexual with a more Achillean lean, meaning I love everybody but tend to lean more towards an attraction to men. 

A lot of people in the past have assumed that I was gay because of the way that I tend to present myself, and honestly I don’t mind the comments, but in a way it was made to discredit the relationship I had with my wife… I love my wife immensely, she was my soul mate and my best friend, to say that I din’t love her or had a lack of attraction towards her would be wildly wrong. 

-He scratches the back of his head sheepishly, reminiscent of something- A-Actually my wife was very supportive of me in general, she would always encourage me to express myself freely and was accepting of who I was. I’m pretty sure she knew I had a liking for men before I did the way she would playfully tease me and encourage my attraction. -He giggles softly to himself- And if it wasn’t for my own daughter being so open minded I don’t think I would have discovered that bisexualism was a thing, as I kinda grew up knowing that there was only ‘gay’ and ‘straight’ and since I did have an attraction to women I din’t think I was ever gay per say. You can imagine my surprise and delight when I found more people that shared my own experience! Even Jan identified as Pansexual as she’s always been a pretty open minded gal with an open heart. -He smiles tenderly-

I feel as I grow older I feel more comfortable in expressing my own identity and openly sharing it with others, its a nice feeling to be authentic to one’s self, and to know that you are validated in your experience is quite comforting. 

Happy Pride to you all! To those who are able to celebrate freely and to those that might need a bit more time to come out of their shells.

🏳️‍⚧️ Spectre :3

[🏳️‍⚧️] What label best describes their gender identity? What pronouns + language do they like?

Spectre: I’ve never really given much of a thought towards my own perception of identity or how others tend to perceive me due to how I choose to present myself. I never found comments about my style of dress to be effeminate or being addressed as a woman to be neither offensive nor unwelcome, I just din’t care for them. 

It wasn’t until I talked more at length with Iris that my lack of care in my definement of my gender identity was something they resonated with as a non-binary individual. As they also don’t care about how others perceive them, as it doesn’t change who they are internally. 

It gave me much to think about when asked how I would identify myself. Upon further research on my part and some introspection, I can say that I too shared in a non-binary identity such as Iris’s. I’ve always had a non-conforming appearance and lifestyle, so my sentiments towards my gender identity resonates equally.

If I were to describe my gender identity it would be Non-Binary in a Agendered sense, being a lack of sentiment towards a particular gender, feeling neither a strong sense of masculine nor feminine. I don’t care for being addressed in any regards pronoun wise so He, She, They is acceptable to describe me, and don’t take offense to being perceived in any way wether masculine or feminine, all is welcomed.

🎨 Marcello

🎨 What labels, if any, would they use to describe themselves?

Marcello: It took me kinda a while to figure it out myself. I dunno why it just kinda wasn't something I dwelled on a lot. And for even longer, nothing really felt right for me?

Marcello: But now I kinda do have some that feel just right for me! :D

Marcello: I found out there was this term called Demisexual, which means I only really feel sexual attraction when I've made a bond with a person already. That felt really accurate to how I am, it's kinda why I only really had such a close relationship with my wife. I just hadn't had such a bond with anyone else since.

Marcello: But for a while before, I used to think I was Pansexual. Cause I didn't really find the idea of dating anyone else, guys, girls, anyone in between. I didn't really mind the thought. I just didn't feel the desire to get with anyone.

Marcello: So yeah! Turns out I'm Demisexual and Panromantic! :D Those feel the most right for me! And gender-wise. I'm happy as a guy. Pronouns I'm just happy with he/him. Easy as that. :p

Marcello: Happy Pride, you guys! ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

😘 For any of them

Mod: I actually do have ONE picture that was made for Pride Month some time ago. I know. This needs to be changed. ^^; I wanted to a simple pic of Shepherd with his pride flags kinda realising a part of himself after so long. Look at his cute little face...

🌱 Sorrel ^^

🌱 When, if ever, did they first consider their sexuality/ gender?

Sorrel: Hm... thinking back, there were signs. I could see them now but y'know... didn't know much better. But man so long ago... lemme think. (he scratches at his chin, his foot tapping slightly as he thinks back to his childhood...) Sorrel: I... I actually think it was when I was with my great-grandpa, Chase. It was the time Dad had started trying to introduce me to the extended family on his side, since I had only known my grandparents and my grandma's family. I had only met him I think...twice. Three times. It wasn't a lot so I didn't know much about him.

Sorrel: I don't know what started our talk, I remember we were outside, I was in kinda a shit mood. I wasn't in a really good state of mind at that time for... well-obvious reasons now. Puberty had hit me hard as a teenager and I was in the pits of despair. Sorrel: (he looks off as he thinks back) At some point I had grumbled or something about how much being a girl sucked, and Chase just started laughing and had said, much to my surprise. "Oh yeah, I remember that garbage. It SUCKED. I don't miss it at all". Sorrel: Immediately I started asking what he meant, and he just told me very simply that... he used to be a girl. He was born female but similar to me, he was VERY unhappy. He figured it out at a very young age. He was saying how adamant he was that he was meant to be a boy and he'd even swap clothes with great-grandma, who was born a boy... Sorrel: (he chuckles) I was completely in shock. That the idea that... I could actually change that... it was unreal to me. I didn't say it out loud, but I think he could tell something clicked in my brain. Maybe he saw a bit of himself in me and that's why he opened up... it took me a while to actually come to terms wit hthe idea but, that definitely got the gears to start turning... (He sniffles and wipes a tear from his eye) Sorrel: I'll always be thankful for grandpa Chase. He was a huge anchor of support when I started to transition, as well as dad of course. Funny enough it took me a bit to actually come out to dad. Ironic I know. HIM of all people...

Sorrel: His way to support me was an immediate shopping spree for more masculine clothes. I had never felt happier...
