#my pride mention

[ihopesocomic]

Do you think you would've enjoyed My Pride more if it hadn't leaned so heavily on "realism" to explain the more gruesome and harsh aspects of its lore/story? One of the main things I enjoy about this comic is that, while you both keep things simple with no accessories on your lions (aside from Periwinkle's collar, which seems to be a plot element), you're also not trying to be painfully realistic. Gives me a Warrior Cats feel when it comes to the "looseness" of the world, if that makes sense?

Most likely not as there was also the complete mishandling of the "disability positive" and "LGBT+ friendly" aspects of the series. Amongst other things... like Hover. Just Hover. lol

It certainly would've been less damaging to its child audiences if it didn't tout itself as being about "actual lion behaviour" while getting 99% of its "facts" completely wrong, because now you have its fans legit believing that - for example - lionesses don't care when their cubs are killed by rogue males when there's footage demonstrating the opposite. Another thing is that the inclusion of religion to explain these "natural" behaviours was confusing as well as being borderline offensive to those who are religious. Why use a human concept like religion to explain what you perceive to be a lion's "natural" behaviour? Especially the more brutal aspects of said behaviour. If your whole deal as an atheist is to be scornful as possible towards religion and try and paint it as the source of all issues in the world by doing so with your fictional world: leave that shit be.

So, yeah, the show would've been slightly less problematic without this aspect of its lore but it still would've had the glaring issue of falsely presenting itself as empowering to minorities. And thank you, anon. I sorta get what you mean. We do try and give a lot of leeway to folks who wish to play about with our worldbuilding, we just draw the line at interacting with humans and getting human trinkets. I hope that Periwinkle's backstory and the whole thing with him being a former pet will make our stance more clear but yeah, humans should leave wild lions be. - RJ

anyways happy pride to all my high risk queers out there, to all my disabled queers for whom events aren't accessible to, to my immunocompromised folks who can't risk attending events where people aren't masked or taking covid precautions! happy pride to my fellow cripqueers that want to be out there fighting and celebrating with their friends and family and can't because it's not safe for them to do so– you're not alone and you deserve to celebrate too. we all do.

#s.txt #okay to rb by the way #ngl this is mostly for myself but it's also something i feel strongly about #especially given everything i've seen lately talking about weighing risk vs pleasure as if they're mutually exclusive #or that there aren't high risk queer folks that deserve to access queer joy as well #i would literally kill to be able to celebrate pride with my queer fam this year and i can't bc i can't afford a reinfection #and it makes me so sad #queer #pride month #covid mention #covid isn't over

the thing is you have to get a good grade in being an art commissioner. you cannot be a bitch when paying for art. you have to be patient and nice. i have not been perfect in my years of paying other furries for art of my funny animals but i can, with confidence, say ive gotten a good grade. artist friends of mine agree im awesome and fankly the Keys to being Awesome at being a commissioner are just like. being nice and recognizing artists arent machines. theyre people who have their own lives and are not infront of their tablet drawing for everyone 24/7. youll find them posting about some game or movie when youve been waiting three weeks for something and thats fine. youll find them having difficulty getting something exactly like how it is in your brain because, like all people, they cannot read your mind. you gotta have everything ready and upfront and be ready to answer questions. its fine to be a little nitpicky and a little "sorry im not quite sure on this pose, could you do X Y and Z" and not be an asshole about it. after a certain number of "can you do X different" you have to realize its either not going to be exactly how you want it to be or the artist is going to want to kill you with hammers. and thats fine. i think artists have every right to want to kill you with hammers.

#barks #rambling sorry #im friends with many artists and have the privilege of sometimes hearing them bitch about awful clients #and i take such pride in so far not being one of those #ive had my moments. i will not say im perfect i have for sure pissed of friends of mine being nitpicky #but in pieces where i want a high level of finesse and specificity ive always mentioned that from the getgo #and offered to pay past a certain amount of fixes #this isnt on my mind for any particular reason im not between many comms atm #idk just. be nice to artists #if youre an artist friend of mine and yo uwant to leave any notes or anything in the replies please be my guest

last year at pride fest i saw the most lovely lady ive ever seen and i actually think about her all the time, i hope shes thriving.

Also this is a bit early but HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF TRANS VISIBILITY!!!! Ilove all my trans friends sm you guys are lovely

(just for confirmation, yes, this drawing is heavily inspired by the lady i saw at pride, though it was like 10 months ago, so it's obviously not an exact copy of her/ her outfit, cause it's based on my memory)

#art #drawing #draw #character art #trans #transgender #trans femme #international day of trans visibility #pretty lady #she’s so pretty #i wish i mentioned something to her #cause idk if i’ll ever see her again #:( #she’ll just have to live in my memory ig #original art #pride #lgbtq pride #lgbtq positivity #i’ve genuinely think about her all the time #trans artwork #transgender people #trans 🏳️‍⚧️

[todaysbird]

#asks #idk why she barely gets mentioned here but she is my pride and joy :! #:) #Rory dog

Getting tired of seeing “I Hope So is too similar to My Pride :\”. Like first of all, no? It’s not? Its story and lore is all different. Second of all, I feel people say this only cuz the main character of I Hope So is disabled and gay. Which pisses me off cuz like. What, we gatekeeping what disabled queer creators can make? Are we limiting what they should make cuz it’s “too similar” to something else? Just cuz something is inspired by another doesn’t mean it’s fucking copying. My Pride doesn’t own the concept of a disabled queer protagonist, and neither does I Hope So. “But they’re both lion stories”, So? Oh no, it focuses on the same species of animal, it’s clear copying 😱 /s. Some people are even grasping at straws just to have other excuses that aren’t the bullshit “both main characters are gay and disabled”, like I saw one saying that Storm looks too much like Hover? What??? Yeah only in their coloring I guess but. Like come on, you’re lying if you say you can’t distinguish the two. On no, Storm’s a grey lion, can’t have that since My Pride owns grey lions 😱 /s. Haven’t you heard originality is dead? My Pride isn’t even original. Let content creators be inspired by something and create what they want to see using the same basic concept. And I say “basic” cuz the basic concept is “disabled gay lion protagonist who lived in an abusive pride”. Neither My Pride nor I Hope So owns that concept. I’m not saying you should enjoy I Hope So or you’re a bad person. I’m saying that if you think it’s too similar to My Pride then there’s clear problems with that sentiment, for reasons I’ve already stated.

vvv I Hope So Spoilers vvv

Does Nothing change her shitty ableist name to something less shitty? No, she keeps it cuz an able bodied little shit told her to cuz “well it doesn’t mean that anymore 🥺🥺🥺”. Hope does tho. Did Nothing 100% choose to leave her pride? Nope, she was left to die by the rest of her pride, even her shitty girlfriend, and had no choice but to leave. Hope does tho. She had complete agency in what she wanted to do and she wanted out of that damn pride. Does My Pride’s lions have figureheads they look up to that aren’t confirmed to actually exist in their world and it’s all based on the characters’ beliefs and nothing more? Nope, they’re religious and the goddesses they worship actually exist in their world. I Hope So has the figureheads (no religion) The Great King and The Traveller. And they’re never confirmed to actually exist, same with the reincarnation I Hope So’s lions believe in. Does My Pride have plot points about a lion that collects prides and rules over them or a pride that is a cult? Nope. Sure that second one could be but here’s the thing. ALL of My Pride’s prides are cultish. I Hope So’s isn’t. It’s just the Red Stone Pride that’s cultish. Does homophobia exist in the world of I Hope So? Nope, cuz it doesn’t need unnecessary conflicts when the existing conflicts are already enough. Jasper’s already a shitty guy, he doesn’t need to be homophobic to “make him shittier”. Does My Pride have a pride like The Thundering Mountains Pride? Nope. Only thing I can think of is The Shifting Place which is a supernatural magical area or the Emerald Valley which was scorched by one of their gods ages ago. The Thundering Mountains Pride is just a really big pride, nothing magical or historically legendary about it. So I’ll say this again, just let content creators be inspired my things and make their own stories out of this inspiration. My Pride isn’t even the only thing it’s inspired by anyway. You can dislike something without making up a “problematic reasoning” to “justify” it. You can dislike something without being a total prick. Besides, you can enjoy both. If you think I Hope So is great but it’s just “too similar so I don’t like it” then you’re just making things harder for yourself lol. You can enjoy both, it’s fine. Not all the points I brought up about My Pride are bad, btw. Like the goddesses actually being real or having magical elements in that world. Just cuz I used those as examples of their differences doesn’t mean I think they’re inherently bad. Just wanna clarify that rn.

#rant post #text post #My Pride mention #long post #I’m just mad I hate when people think they should gatekeep creators like this #I’d bring up another webcomic as an example but #I don’t wanna plant any bullshit arguments in the minds of any shitheads #cuz idk if people already feel similarly to it too so I’ll just hold back on that

happy pride to people still in the closet. happy pride to people who used to identify one way and are now identifying another. happy pride to every person who feels alienated and estranged from the community. happy pride to people who still feel shame and guilt about their sexuality. happy pride to every person that has felt like they don't fit the image - not thin, not white, not "classically pretty".

happy pride to every person who feels like they're not "gay enough." happy pride to people who "look" straight, or appear to be in heteronormative relationships. happy pride to every person that is "too" gay, the "flamboyant" ones that are even mocked within the community. happy pride to butch lesbians and twee bisexuals and people that don't medically transition and to every gender-neutral-nature-based name - happy pride to those of us who are usually the butt of the joke.

happy pride if you're still confused. if you used to identify as bisexual but now are going by lesbian, bitch me too. if you aren't sure if you're genderfluid or just having some Gender Feelings, that's cool too. if you feel like you know you're not straight, but you don't know what you are - you're safe.

happy pride to every person that has felt like they don't belong in this community. i promise you do belong. there is a place for you, and people that will love you. it's your celebration too.

#if you're not mentioned in this assume it's happy pride to you too okay #just take a deep breath and be like ''she probably means to me too'' #''but what about!'' yeah them too #wITH 1 exception: bigots can have my personal wrath instead of pride #my gender neutral name is rowan lmafo #ps im in boston & about to turn 30 come date me im hot!!!

Love the idea of collective Jedi parenting. Like technically I only have one padawan but my friends' padawans are also coincidentally my padawans. My padawan’s friends are also my padawans. This padawan who got separated from their master? My padawan today. This other padawan who needs to learn to pilot but their master is afraid of flying? Now my padawan twice a week.

#chit chat #kit fisto: hello i am master fisto this is my padawan bant and this is obi wan who is also kind of my padawan #plo koon: hello i am master koon this is my best friend qui gon and this is our kid obi wan #not to mention obi wan to anakin: OUR padawan #count dooku still probably has a spare anti-ox mask on his person just in case something happens to his extra padawan #and quinlan prides himself on being 'the cool master' to anakin and barriss

yuuta exhibits such previously abandoned, recently adopted dog behavior. incredibly anxious all the time, even though nobody’s out to get him or leave him behind. waits for you to return home or from school or from work excitedly, just to see you when you walk through the door. follows you around senselessly, hovering in your space just for the sake of companionship. initiates affection in prodding ways—starts off next to you, then a hand on your thigh, then deems it safe to lay all the way down, then slowly pushes his head into your lap. gets up whenever you need to get up, and resumes his position as soon as you’re ready. brings you gifts as a sign that he’s thinking of you, and maybe because he likes the affection it brings out in you, maybe because he likes the gentle affirming touches of a hand in his hair or a pinch to his cheek. rests his head on your stomach or his chin on your shoulder when he’s sleepy, stays there, immobile, and will not move unless absolutely necessary. sometimes he gets surprised when he hears you calling for him, there’s a moment of disbelief as he thinks “me? really? you need me?” but it’s very quickly overshadowed by this compulsive need to show up, to please, to do anything for you, which is why he always answers when you call. he doesn’t realize that he has puppygod eyes, especially when he’s excited or confused, but he does and it’s incredible endearing. very reluctant to share your space or attention after a while, considers that to be sacred and he won’t risk being let go or lost again, so as a safety precaution, he keeps himself right by you, waits for you always.

Are we ever going to see any prides led by Queens or a Queen?

Probably. c:

It’s also worth noting that 1) males can adopt the Queen title and 2) Kings and Queens are equal in power, they just share different duties.

Again, there’s a common misconception that because My Pride (inaccurately) portrayed lionesses as being subservient to males, we’re after doing the same thing. Except Vanish could canonically beat Edge in a fight - whole reason he fell in love with her - and the plot is still developing so it’d be nice if folks could let us show things first before assuming Vicious’s situation is the norm for all lionesses. c: - RJ
