EDIT: Changed Penny the Braixen’s teeth to a fang. The fang version is in my deviantART gallery. For their clothes, I tried painting (with watercolour) more creases and wrinkles than ever before, which I’ve not really tried all that much before, so I’m happy the creases turned out OK! 🎉👕👚💖 I think? 😅

- This picture was requested by terjeaasheim! He requested that his OCs, Lucas the Lucario, and Penny the Braixen, are dressed in bunads and holding flags of Norway in celebration of Norway’s national day, with the words “Happy 17th May” at the top! And that Lucas has his arm around Penny, and he wanted the picture to be done in the same style as one of my old fanarts; “Pocky Day 2023”!

A different spot and pose version in my Stash: https://sta.sh/0c5jx9a7d35

I might edit this picture in the future, if I do, the final version will be at my deviantART gallery.

Youthful freedom and responsibility

Norwegian youth spend more than four hours a day on social media,according to a study.Some believe it’s a waste of time but I understand why we do it very well.Society is straightforward on social media.Where you can just log off or block everything you don’t like.Today, we celebrate our constitution.It says that everyone has equal rights and that humans are born free and shall remain free.Free to be on social media for four  hours. Free to get wasted and fuck around. Free to use 900.000 for Russ bus.

Norway isn’t the same country as it was when the Constitution was written.Norwegian society is constantly developing.Today thousands of refugees are coming into Europe in search of peace to live.Those are people from different cultures than us. People whose values we may disagree with.Some are afraid they will threaten our Norwegian values.It would have been best to have the Facebook function to just block them but that’s not how it goes. So on this day when we celebrate our Constitution, we shall remember that we celebrate. If we believe in the values it is based on.If we agree with the idea that all people should be free and have equal rights,it’s not our responsibility to fight to persevere the values for all people.It’s not there to open doors to strangers who want to threaten our values.But it’s there to not open the doors for them.

We live in a society because we need each other.People need people.It can be tiring to deal with others especially the ones you disagree with.Those who think differently from you, whether some are from another culture or a girl who’s a lame Facebook friend from elementary school.In a peaceful society with equal rights we have to manage to listen to and try to understand each other.Perhaps it’s easier to understand if we focus on what we have in common rather than the differences.Look for what we agree with instead of what we disagree with. Maybe if we see the worst in others, it’s exactly that what they will show us.

We have the right to waste four hours on social media every day.Because some before us have fought for the freedom to do so.Soon it’s us who will take over this country. It’s up to us which values we live by the future.I hope equal rights and freedom for all the people of this world is a battle we are ready to take on completely serious.If not we who are raised in the world’s most free and richest country.If not we choose generosity,patience and openness. If not we choose to look for and believe in the good in each other.if not we can fight for righteousness .Then who would be able to do it?
