happy pride month! tour of my pride den

(wow, two posts in one day? look i just needed to get this one out before june ended)

it's june, which means it's pride month!

i've been making this pride den for about a year, so i decided i'd show it off for the occasion

(if you don't know, pride month is a month dedicated to celebrating LGBTQ+ people and the struggle for LGBTQ+ acceptance.)


first off, we have this (kinda ugly ngl) rainbow walkway made up of a bunch of starfish rugs! there's also a rainbow banner on the front of the den (fun fact: that item was rereleased this june... wonder if that's a coincidence :) )


next up, we've got the first room! there's the progress pride flag (symbolizes the whole lgbtq+ community (along with the rainbow flag)) on the first wall, and banners forming a rainbow on the second wall. there's rainbow pillows on the floor and the first half of the rainbow couches


also rainbow arctic wolf plushies :]


over here we have the rest of the couches, and some more flags! the green one is the aromantic (someone who doesn't feel romantic attraction) flag- that's what i am! (and that's why i have the flag lol)

next is the "gender wall". the top left flag is the transgender (someone who's a different gender than the gender they were assigned at birth) flag. funny story about that one: i was at a den shop w/ pride flags and someone was like "hey do you want this" and gave it to me for free

bottom right is a drawing of juno on top of the nonbinary (someone who isn't a boy or a girl) flag. i think it's pretty awesome that one of the alphas canonically is referred to with they/them pronouns, so i drew that masterpiece a while ago to commemorate it (honestly don't love how it looks anymore but i still like the message)


over here we have some rainbow flowers and foxes, and that's it!


also here's a full map of the house

btw, if anyone has questions about anything lgbtq+ (or about what it even is) feel free to leave them in the comments! 



wildflower75's dtiys entry!

this is an entry for the draw this in your style contest by wildflower75!

barely got this in on time but hey, at least it's still the 30th (in my time zone at least)

for why this took so long to make, tl;dr i couldn't find the sketchbook i made the original sketch in so i didn't want to start the digital piece until i had the sketchbook but then i couldn't find it so i ended up finally sitting my butt down and drawing this whole thing today haha

fun fact: i usually draw humans/ humanoid characters, so this was a nice challenge for me! it was nice stepping out of my comfort zone and drawing animals for once


-------------------------------

also, here's the original! i meant to change the blue fox's position more but i accidentally didn't lol

bonus: the digital sketch

that's it! have a good day/night,
