Orca Or Killer Whale (Orcinus Orca) Pair From Resident Pod A-5 At Rubbing Beach, Johnstone Strait, British

The day I started posting about #wings was the best day of my life.

After chatting with @courtkossai for a bit I had to draw this. Our particular verbal/audio communication difficulties happen to meld together really well which gave me a rather funny image of us signing to each other. Also I found the idea of including the mobility aides in a way that they are sort of redundant really quite funny as I would have no way to use forearm crutches in the water nor need for them and so they would just float off uselessly.

I also have no idea what it is faeries do to be honest - I guess influencing with fish. Google says they can give blessings. It has been a pretty long time since I used any NGT and longer since learning any ASL but I tried to write it in ASL so maybe people could have some tiny hope to read it since there are something like 30x the ASL speakers as NGT and this site does have a lot of Americans.

It says, or tries to say "I bless you with fish"

I think a lot of therian discourse would go away if we all adopted the idea that It’s Not Up To You. how someone identifies is really not up to you. And i know that can really suck because yeah, sometimes people Do get it really Really wrong, and they might not be a therian at all but listen to me. It’s not up to you. You can yell at someone all you want for being a therian the “wrong” way, you can insult them, you can suggest other terms if you really think it would benefit, but if they reject all of that there’s nothing more you can do but ignore them. You won’t convince them of anything, and you 🫵 don’t know Someone Else’s identity more than they do. You just don’t. So it’s not up to you. All you can do is exist as yourself.

Maybe I am stupid to think this way, who knows.

I want to fly. I want to stretch my wings and glide over treetops and through mountain ranges. I want to be in the sky. I want to be able to see everything on the land. To dive and swoop, to have fun. I want to feel the wind. Yet I am cursed to stay on the ground. Limited to climbing to get up to high places. Unable to really do what I want.
