Happy Independence Day, Estonia!

sadie the sapphic puppy :3

need to find out whatever stranger things costume designer made the choice to have eddie munson flagging in rural indiana in 1986 and shake their hand, send them flowers, maybe even kiss them directly on the lips because hey? that's so funny. it's made even funnier that he COMMITS to flagging so hard to the point that he at one point asks max if she has a mask or bandana he can wear as a disguise despite having one in his back pocket. yeah he's wanted for several murders but god help him if he's going to risk another fag seeing him and not knowing he's gay. the only time it comes out of his back pocket is when they're actively going into battle in the upside down, where there are no potential gay hotties. my personal hero.

RavenBarley hypokits?

you just know they'd be the overly encouraging "YOU CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANNA BE" parents

i've seen a few people draw hobie with the unlabeled pride flag which i feel is maybe a bit antithetical to his whole view. he just slaps whatever flags he can find on his jacket & lets people make their own assumptions while he goes about his day unbothered like g-d intended

I don't want to be annoying or anything but could you maybe make a trans bandana dee? I hc them as trans. You don't have to do it if you don't want to

You ask and I shall deliver, your wish is my command

what's this? me changing my minecraft skin again? yeah

ladies and gentlemen its over

We are making cowboy ken happen

Its always "Eddie is flagging, he's a sado top" or "Eddie is a sad little virgin man" and never

"Eddie is a sad virgin, but he's snatched enough skin-mags and had enough elicit fantasies that he knows he's into some wild stuff, and he thinks it's absolutely hilarious to flag in Hawkins, where nobody knows what it means. Until one day Steve calls him out on it (Steve visited a gay bar with Robin to be her supportive bestie, and a very helpful drag queen taught him all about flagging) and Eddie finally had to deal with the fact that he's signaling being a sadistic Dom, when the only time hes even touched another man, let alone slapped one around, was in his fantasies."

New icon for pride month! 🐶💗

hbd queer people, here are some trans flag crochet projects i just finished! 🏳️‍⚧️

I’ve been working on the next batch of pride pups and I thought it’d be fun to share some progress pics and behind the scenes! The four that I’ve got something to show for rn are kirby, pretzel, salad, and bacon! samples are still in progress for butterscotch, abbie, and gigi.

these are wips, so a few of them are not final! Specifically kirby and salad are getting some changes I’ll go into :D

in the original artwork for kirby, they’ve got a little curl on their head. I didn’t want to try to make this 3D because I knew it’d be hard to get it to look as cute as it does in a flat drawing. I like the idea of the embroidery showing the curl, but I decided I need to change the shape to make it read a little better.

salad is the pup that’s getting the biggest changes, and by biggest I mean editing their light green color by a few shades lol. This green seemed a bit yellow and bright in comparison to the aro flag, so I wanted to tone it down just a little. decided to go with the same green used on cookie (#48), which hopefully will feel a bit closer to the source :)

especially with these pride pups, I’m really particular about color, so sometimes it gets down to the excruciating details of choosing between two shades that are barely different. It’s hard to tell sometimes as lighting plays a big role in how these colors look and I can’t always see them in person. I also like the puppies to go together well as a set, so I try to consolidate the pallet of the collection as a whole so that they go together cohesively i.e. using the same green that’s used on cookie here on salad, or the same blue that’s used on cookie on pretzel and bacon, or the same pink that’s used on beau on kirby.

The nice thing about this puppy collection is that since we already have the shape pinned down, that’s never a concern for revisions - that’s typically the hardest part 🥴 

lmk if you like this type of post! I sortof want to make them as a journal more or less but I’d also be happy to answer specific questions ppl have about plushie design through asks and stuff if you’re interested!

goodnight, lil music man
