Hey everyone

We are currently expanding our little collection of pride-themed Coats of Arms and were currently looking to design a cool motif for genderqueer and queer.

We have been able to come up with three interesting ideas for the heraldic beast of queer, but wanted to ask for some feedback or ideas on what would actually fit best.

The candidates currently are:

• The Cockatrice: A strange mix of a rooster, snake, and dragon/bat, a cockatrice is a fun chimera from France, resulting when a rooster lays an egg, which is hatched by a toad. This one is often similar or associated with the basilisk and is said to be able to kill with either its breat, touch or gaze alone...strangely not against weasels for some reason...weasels always own them in battle...
• The Qilin: A mythical and powerful entity, the qilin only reveals itself to those pure of heart and intention. It cannot be caught, it cannot be harmed, it cannot be sought. It will come to you and bring wisdom and fortune. Also, what I think is fun is that nobody seems to have a common consensus on what it actually looks like; there have been many differing depictions of it, and sometimes they can vary wildly, from a scaled horse to a serpentine dragon...horsething with a big old horn/2horns? Yet it always stands as a symbol of justice and benevolence.
• The Manticore: Well, not much explanation needed. Described as a mix of a lion, a goat, and a snake, this was a beast of legend known for old Greek myths, an agent of chaos born from our good old boi/ unfathomable entity Typhon.

Feedback is highly appreciated, as always :D

I've heard that feeling like this is normal.

didn’t expect an aro meme to blow up on a non-aro subreddit though! so that’s something..

was told to post here :] i may be fictorose but i'm sure some folks can agree, i'd rather have The Character (applies to any character no one else shall have the mimic grrrrr)

Hello everyone! We just launched our Kickstarter campaign for Coat of Pride, aiming to turn all of these lovely designs into actual pins, and we already funded the 5 base designs in like 4 hours! Now we want to see if we can't unleash the dragon and get the Ace, Sapphic, Achillean, Genderfluid, and Intersex ones unlocked!

Many of these designs have been directly influenced and shaped by the input of this lovely community (especially the ones who just screamed „DRAGON!“ when we asked which mythic creature you would like to see on the Asexual Coat of Arms), so we are really hyped to actually have them made as a real pin you can hold and gift to friends and family or just hoard it to yourself like a real dragon >:D

So if you are interested, curious, or wanna support our gay evil cause, come back us over here on Kickstarter.

Your kind words and encouragement already mean the world to us. We are not full-time professionals, just some silly guys who want to make some silly, lovely art happen, so all the love and input you guys gave us really did make this project really possible to begin with.

So let's see where this takes us :D

Take care, everyone

Cheers!
