Hii! I loved your ghost pride drawing!!
Are you bi? And why ghost?
alsoooo random follow-up bc i keep thinking about it...what’s up with the hand on Ghost’s neck?? is it symbolic?? romantic?? threatening?? 👀 bc it’s kinda giving “queer intimacy meets war trauma” and idk if that was on purpose lol
asking respectfully of course! <3
Hi anon!!
Yes! I am bi (I never actually ‘came out’ in the sense that I told people, I just accepted it for me and tell ppl if they ask) and proud!!
Ghost b/c to me he is more than a character, he’s a symbol. He wears his anonymity like armor and doesn’t let anyone in. He’s what it looks like when you build a whole personality out of protection, when your softness lives so deep inside you forget it’s there. So drawing him in pride colors was kinda me reclaiming my identity
*sighs in projection*
OK IMA RANT NOW:
First of all “queer intimacy meets war trauma” is WIDLY accurate and ima steal that
the hand is doing a few things:
It’s part connection, part control, and part grounding. Like it’s softly intense. It’s not gentle in the traditional sense but it’s like someone is forcing his identity out with his consent. It’s messy, it’s complicated and maybe haunted. But I liked the idea of someone (me) touching him like he’s real…
Idk im delulu fs…
I appreciate the respectful chaos!! 🫶
