Happy hecking pride, everybody! Shoutout to everyone under the queer umbrella, which absolutely includes aro and ace people too!

I also appreciate my ally friends, so much thanks for the meaningful support! I'm really happy that I'm naturally bi, with my attractions involving men, women, and all other genders; contrary to some negative stereotypes, my attraction isn't limited to just men and women, although I personally consider myself bi rather than pan since I feel that the specific ways in which I'm attracted can differ by gender. That said, all queer identities are totally valid, and I'm definitely fine with someone preferring one label over the other for whatever personal reasons they have. My only regret is that I didn't come out to myself and others much earlier in my life, but my lengthy time in this community has helped me explore myself to the point of eventually finding Glass, my eternal partner who I love so much!

As for this fantastic icon from the equally fantastic Combat Raccoon, this is actually a different take on an older pride icon that I got from her years ago, albeit with a different art style, more casual hairstyle, and darker colors, all of which I'm really happy with! The face paint looks really authentic too, and the bandanna around my neck is so freaking cute! My eyes also glow really beautifully here... just a wonderful avatar all around. Thank you so much, Combat, and everybody else please be sure to check out her other artwork and Patreon page when you can! She's a great friend who deserves all the commissions.
