Strahd & Helene's Snowball Fight

A wonderful gift I received in the Misthoppers Server art exchange Secret Santa from the gorgeously talented @anae-art This scene is so important to Helene and Strahd's relationship and I'm so so so happy I finally have art of it. Thank you. I'm over the moon with this!!! (scene context under the cut. CoS spoilers)

Everyone is free to use these designs on shirts, stickers, pins, whatever they'd like, as long as they are using it for inclusive purposes! Just don't claim it as your own, please.

First up, our simple intersex design! The first is transparent, the second has a background for easier viewing.

Next up, some a-spec designs!

The silhouettes on the background were provided by the lovely Eldritch Dumpster Rat from The Void (our friend, who wishes to remain anonymous.)

From left to right, across the wings, the flags go as follows:

-Ace-spec (asexual spectrum) -Asen-spec (asensual spectrum) -Anae-spec (anaesthetic spectrum) -Afam-spec (afamilial spectrum) -Apl-spec (aplatonic spectrum) -Aqp-spec (aqueerplatonic spectrum) -Aro-spec (aromantic spectrum)

On the head is the analt-spec (analterous spectrum) flag. In the background is the anattractional flag.

I support equality always

Attraction is individual, not societal

Queerness is natural

Gender and sex are spectrums

Racial equality matters

All disabilities matter

[PT: Large Pixel Size A- Flags]

Asexual ~ Aromantic

Aplatonic ~ Aqueerplatonic

Analterous ~ Asensual ~ Anaesthetic

All flags are 3000x2000 pixels.

I regularly feel platonic and/or familial feelings, but rarely aesthetic attraction. All my jokes about the characters my friends find hot being not personally attractive to me fall flat because we're all aroace... but my ability to experience aesthetic attraction fluctuates. Most of the time I simply cannot feel attracted aesthetically to others. Feeling like not even my aroace friends understand my experience has been here for a while, I think, I just haven't gotten to properly write it down.

The Anae, Children of Neocal [text in image below]  - Odd number and shaped eyes - Typically darker tones with red eyes and light blue protrusions  - Tend to be bottom heavy - The fully capped example is how a typical capped Anae would look  - If the Anae themself are light colored, the cap and roots will be daker - Capped Anae are blind but can see Spores* - The Capped Anae act as defenders and advisors in their kingdom  Anae are medium sized creatures of this world, averaging at around 3′-4′. The protrusions on their heads are gifts from Neocal. It is how the Anae are able to reproduce and keep their kingdom going after Neocal seemingly lost their ability to make more spores. 

The Capped Anae are all known to be blind, but they can essentially see the life force of the world around them through Spores, which is this world’s magic. 

Anae who are capable of magic are Capped, their magic, while not confined to any one shape like all magics, is generally defensive. The most common visage of this magic used is by shifting the earth around them to either make pits or walls, while others seem to glow brightly and reflect the Spores of others back at them. 

Their society is completely within the chest cavity of their creator, Neocal, whom now protects them with their life. Their society used to be rather advanced, but Acos’ waters have washed that all away. The Anae collect the remnants of their old kingdom as Neocal travels the earth to keep the cycle moving. 

Since they have no contact with other kingdoms, they don’t have a specialized product they offer for trade, instead the Anae have learned to do a little bit of everything. How to grow fruits under the earth, how to cultivate the soil around them for their every day needs, how to find underground water sources, and how to construct sturdy and long-lasting buildings with limited supplies.
