A quick thing I made with a few of my characters that fit under the label to say
TERFS AND TRANSPHOBES AREN'T WELCOME HERE
If I haven't made that clear before
(Cream Sheep, the one in the middle, is MtF. While both Lorikeet, on the right, and Neapolitan, on the left, are here because they both made the choice to express themselves and their gender the way they want.)

Hey guys, with the recent garbage that's happened at Bungie and everyone feeling so downtrodden (especially the fan creatives questioning their work) I wanted to offer a little piece of hope. I won't be posting this to Twitter, as that should rightfully stay focused on those who have lost their jobs.
So I've been around a while. I remember watching the Destiny 1 beta and deciding to try out the game in its first year, and I've been playing it consistently as a PvE and story enjoyer ever since. As much as I look back fondly at Destiny 1, the recent events with Destiny 2 have brought up some really shitty memories of Destiny 1s years.
The original Destiny was a mess. To keep it short, Destiny's original story was complete, but senior management scraped the story entirely. Expansions did ok at bringing their own stories in, but the narrative foundation of the game was held together with duct tape and dreams. There were many other issues with Bungie, Activision, and senior management that loomed over us, but what I want you to take away from all this is what made Destiny survive.
Destiny survived because it's community thrived. The big YouTubers and streamers that were all just little channels making passionate videos with their friends. The art showcasing the (still beautiful) skyboxes, worlds, and characters of Destiny 1. And the stories! The wonderful fanfictions that took what little Destiny 1s narrative offered and spun life into flat characters, making Destiny's world bigger and brighter. Friends were made, rivalries occurred, but it was because of the community that loved creating and interacting with each other that Destiny 1 survived and Destiny 2 grew into what it is.
I won't lie, these recent events are particularly awful, even when considering Destiny 1 and Activision's history. But if you're a creative who's lost the will to continue with this game we love(d), please take comfort in the friends you've made here, the strong community you're in. This community is a cockroach in the gaming world, we'll survive the disgraced downfall of the game and the company if we have to, and we'll do it together.
If you're stepping away completely, you are well within reason and I'd love to see your next passion take off. If you're staying with the Destiny community out of love, or because it brings in money, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Create for the people that are here with you right now, not for any board room of executives or company making profits.
Anyway, I love you all, take care of yourselves and stay hydrated. I cannot express in words how much I love this community, and how much it has meant to me to be here for so long. I will stay with you all until the end and beyond.
- Near

let this be a lesson to not make your canvas sizes entirely too small that details become completely illegible...
