The Backwards Knight is in here, because The Paladin's iron rule and banishment of magic simply cannot stand.

Oh hey! That's me!

I'm still debating on the different pen name. I have to think about it more.

But, no matter the name, still me!

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Moth related trans art!!
spookyxpickle.bsky.social Author Machelle Berglund 💛🤍💜🖤-Follow Fairy Seasons on Backerkit @spookyxpickle.bsky.social · 1d
I'm so happy to share!

The first piece is by Adrian Day. I have a couple of their pieces. I love their work soooo much! You can find some of their stuff on Etsy under AdriansAnomalies.

As for the others, I actually don't know the names of the artists... I need to see if I can find those.
A beautiful, detailed painting of a dragon-esque creature with moth wings. They are blue with splashes of gold. They are sitting in bare branches and look fierce AF A print of a an art piece featuring a moth and the colors of the trans pride flag, pink, white, and blue. To the bottom of the moth, there is an empty, white space the same shape as the moth. A postcard painting of a moth, done in gauche. The moth is purple with elements of orange and yellow. It is set against a yellow background. An art print of a transgender person with glowing eyes. They're holding up a hand. Above the hand are three glowing moths that are flying. Above the person are the words "I Am Becoming".
