Not sure I've ever done a picture of yosh that was just a sketch. First time for everything. Including drawing yosh in girly clothes. Never did that before. Isnt yosh adorable in them
Visual description: (sketch) yosh, a young dino duck, probably about four years old here, stands facing foward and towards the viewers right head held a little low in shyness, fluffy arms behind the back. Yosh wears a short sleeveless dress with a bow on the top of the chest above two little buttons. The center of the bow is a heart. Yosh also wears Mary Jane shoes each with a bow on the strap, over socks and a bow on their top head spike. Yosh has a shy awkward smile on thier beak and thier eyes look up to the right, legs apart facing opposite directions, a bit wide suggesting there might be a diaper or pullup under the skirt though it does not show so it could also just be the way the dino duck is standing.

D'aww. This is very sweet, Saphy. It is certainly a part of Yosh's development as he struggles to comprehend the whole 'for boys' and 'for girls' thing. He doesn't understand why his sister gets to wear things he is not allowed to wear. He also is unhappy with how boys his age treat him compared to how he gets a fairly warm reception by girls.

On a more personal note, I've been really happy to explore this aspect of Yosh. It is, for my human self, giving me such a look into how silly 'social norms' are. Little ones, particularly prior to being introduced to 'for boys' and 'for girls', do not concern themselves on living up to an expectation.
As you remember, I was super into MLP when I was 4 years old. I can actually remember the tantrum I threw when my parents took the VHS for 'Rescue At Midnight Castle' back to the video store. I can also remember my older cousins, boys, really seeming awkward as, for my 5th birthday, I got 'Rescue At Midnight Castle'. The intro showed a bunch of balloons for one of the teams involved in distributing the production. My cousin said, "Look, Matt. Balloons.". I do not remember them saying, or being around, after that point.
A major regret is how, after being programmed into 'boy mode', I made fun of my sister for liking MLP when there was always a part of me that wanted to play with them. (I was really into Transformers, but so scared I would break them that I seldom did the transformations. Not to forget that, after being set into 'Boy Mode', I was huge into 'Care Bears' and remember pleading to get 'Friend Bear' and, once I knew of him, 'Bright Heart Raccoon'.)
*Sighs* It's awful to see how we are forced into fitting in when, truly, we only fit in if we can be ourselves. I believe a lot of mental trauma for a child could be avoided if they were not always told they absolutely had to behave according to a social norm. Growing up feeling like you are 'different' and wanting something that has long been told is 'not for you' is painful. It sets up, in my case, for my late teens and twenties being spent miserable for who I was for my inability to do as my gender stereotype expected of me.

Again, thank you, Saphy. This is very kind, thoughtful, and allows me to really see just how I got to where I am today and why, where possible, I try so hard to help Peep not fear his true interests.
