Hello! I’m not sure if you’re taking requests for pride icons, but if you are, may I please request Amity Blight from TOH with the Thistle Femme and Hesticarn Lesbian flags?
Amity Thistlefemme + Hesticarn Lesbian icons!
Thank you for the ask, these were fun icons to make! I’m honoured you wanted hesticarn icons! I’m v proud of the hesticarn flags I made :)
Hesticarn, bi hesticarn, lesbian hesticarn, and sapphic hesticarn flags (in that order)
Hesticarn is a mixture of butch, femme, and futch, at an almost even balance, but is always/often incorporating a sparkly, pink, or typically feminine aesthetic
Hesticarns might feel liberation from wearing pink dresses but with sneakers, being a motherly/maternal figure to others but like in a fruity big bro sense, doing traditionally masculine activities but with a girly aesthetic like working out but with pink weights or pink gym clothes, dressing completely masc but with glittery pink lipgloss, and redefining what a mix of butch and femme means to them. It’s giving Barbie Butch. Think pink suits and ties rather than pink dresses. Or pink dresses but with hairy legs and “sitting/behaving masculine”. It’s however a sapphic transforms butch and femme identities while always/often incorporating girly/pink aesthetic in some form.
The name is derived from Hestia, the Greek Goddess of the Hearth, and Carnations, a flower (which is also the flower on the sapphic hesticarn flag!)
Why is the in-general hesticarn flag (for bisexuals, lesbians, all sapphics) almost identical to the bisexual hesticarn flag? 1. The crescent moon on the bi hesticarn flag will tell them apart and 2. It’s okay for different identity flags to look similar, the genderfluid flag would basically be the asexual flag if you swap the pink and blue with the grey, 3. Bi women are pushed out of butch and femme spaces so much I wanted to create a butch/femme identity flag that was centred on bi sapphics, even though it does represents all sapphics!
Flags open to all sapphics! Bisexuals, bi+ wlw, lesbians, unlabelled sapphics, nblw, etc!
The Hesticarn flag can be used by any sapphics, so I used it on the left side for all characters, and on the right side is the specific hesticarn flag depending on their sexuality! (hesticarn bi, or hesticarn lesbian) and I used the hesticarn umbrella term sapphic flag for Melody :3
Hesticarn: (I used the Bi Hesticarn flag specifically, the same but with the crescent moon symbols) When someone alternates between butch, futch, and femme, but always incorporates a pink colour/pink “barbie aesthetic alongside their presentation!
Biphoria: When someone’s sexual orientation of bisexuality gives them euphoria, is a factor in their presentation or style, and/or is intwined with their femme/futch/butchness! Especially- but not exclusively- genderbi’s/genderbisexuals!
Note: Biphoria is already the name of an organization that supports bisexuals, and this term is a nod to that! Their organization is spectacular, and I do not mean to redefine their title, it simply overlaps with it as both their organization and my term is bi advocacy!
