I drew a spoilery Tav/Shadowheart/Halsin picture and took a little unspoilery bit of it to make an icon of the friendly little brain creature Us using its tentacles to play with the cat Grub.

I really liked the idea of having a bg3 icon with a non-binary character in it, but didn't want to use any of my PCs since that felt too specific. But Us is universal :D

Finally got around to deleting/editing all my gendered icons. I kept telling myself I could just not use them, or not think of them as implying I'm a woman, but it bugged me.

This one used to say "expressing my femininity with an axe". And I still have femininity! That I might like to express with axes! But this version makes me happier. Especially since it's in a more readable font now.

That's me, by the way, many years before I realised I'm non binary, dressed as the bearded dwarf Cheery Littlebottom from Discworld, not that I'm very recognisable under all that hair :) This was at Swancon, and Elizabeth Moon admired and briefly wore the helmet, which I'd painted with pretty pink flowers.

EDIT: Took off the text, now I can also use it when fandom is wrong about fanart, female characters, etc :D

Inspired by the latest Homestuck update (in which the pictured character, who is inclined to make detailed shipping charts about everyone she knows, feels sad about one femslash ship being sunk and another being underappreciated)

I don't know if I'll ever actually use it, but it was fun to make :)

(Nb the icon will only show up on the dreamwidth version, sorry for the extra click lj folk!)
