#meltingpot

Coloring him, I was struck by the sudden realization that he's a he/it non-binary

@whitestreamrct2 here's Meltingpot. I, uh, sorry for how complicated its design is, but he's my baby. Lmao.

Did the base two times so I could show both sides of its body, note that because of the way the base has its head turned, the top one shows the left side of his body but the right side of its head (and ofc the other way around for the bottom)

Called this spot the melting pot come in many walk out one Was the lie we bought We're frogs in cool water With no idea it's getting boiling hot

Come in you tired you huddled you poor, came in many but walked out more. Come in you yearning, you lost, you sore, Segregation spread before we reached the far shore.

Promises made as plans were laid, Freedom shouted in brogue and drawl, a hanging tree remembers being loved for its shade.

Called this spot the melting pot, started off broken, afraid of all we were not. Come said they, white wig and pomp, distractions from their sins and rot, still broken, say we, cracks still growing shot after shot after shot.

Cooked we've become, forgetful lot, never complained loud enough wasn't that hot, we thought. Boiled our fears, stole our voices, it's too late to remember what we forgot. Started out many, now we're more, wasn't this spot the melting pot?
