For this Witch Hat Monday I drew Coco in a Starry Night Dress! It's a continuation of the Starry Night Hat I painted a while back :)

Time lapse below, the full hours long art videos, PSD file and HD image will be DMed on Patreon the 5th of each month :)

As we begin a new month, we stand together in hope, resilience, and pride.

Life in gorom Refugee Camp remains challenging for many LGBTQ+ refugees. Every day, members of our community struggle to access basic needs such as food, shelter, clean water, healthcare, and safety. Despite these hardships, we continue to support one another, raise awareness, and advocate for dignity, equality, and human rights for all.

This month, we ask you to stand with us. Your support—whether through sharing our story, advocating for LGBTQ+ rights, or making a donation—helps us survive and build a brighter future.

🏳️‍🌈 Together, we are stronger.

🏳️‍🌈 Together, we create hope.

🏳️‍🌈 Together, we can make a difference.

Every contribution, no matter the size, helps provide food, shelter, medication, and emergency support to vulnerable LGBTQ+ refugees in gorom.

💙 Support our community

All because some cruel producers hated that it showed queer children we were loved and deserved to love ourselves. Truly, that was it. But the show survived anyways and it's still loved to this day.

More and more recently, I’ve begun to get some people coming to me asking for some clarification on LGBTQ stuff. When I was younger, I had to discover many basic identities and labels by myself, through research of various sources, or pieced together from disconnected blog posts. 

In the year 2019 you’d think we’d have a kid-friendly website that describes all of this in simple terms but… I’ve yet to find one that isn’t primed for guardians/parents of LGBTQ parnets and prioratizes them instead of the LGBTQ kids themselves…. 

So I tried to make a quick graphic to organize everything!

Keep in mind - this is based on MY experience and the terminology I have grown up using. Everyone’s experiences may differ - and I tried to simplify in some places to make it easier to read. (For example… I didn’t really go into detail on non-binary identities… but I may make a seperate graphic for that someday because that’s its own box of pears.)
