Drawing LGBTQ+ Characters Every Week for Pride Month! [PART 4 - Trans + Nonbinary Umbrella]

[@MRY_was.here0]

I yelled from joy when i saw Barney.

[@cudalynns]

YAY I love Barney 😭🙏

[@vstro_i]

SAME I just showed my sibling all of dead end and they loved it

[@ary_e_martinez]

I love Yamato so much, especially as a transmasc person who often presents femme and doesn't pass. Him just being accepted by everyone in canon is just so uplifting. I also love how Oda put him in the men's bath (and Kiku in the women's) after the fandom was arguing about his gender the entire arc

[@delrodriguez9422]

I love how Sally Mae is so short I forgot for a second that shes an imp and probably like 3ft tall 😅 especially next to Yamato

[@cudalynns]

Bro, I struggled SO BAD 😂Why is this man so large lmaoo

[@Gumbear-artstuff]

omg i frgot that imps were that small 😭

[@caracaracat2958]

I love Double Trouble so much, they’re such an ICON

[@sophiarafferty]

I feel like a lot of gender ambiguous anime characters cause a lot of debate for some reason, even when it can be read as a straightforward binary trans person people argue about it. I think its because labels are rarely used in anime and you have to interpret whats on screen, I don't know why people cant have a friendly discussion rather than an aggressive argument. First time I heard about the one piece character, its nice to see a character who identifies as a man but presents more typically "feminine", don't see that often! KNow all the other characters though haha

[@cudalynns]

Yes, why does there gotta be so much backlash 😭😭 And why do people have to be so hateful and aggressive, it's horrible And I'm glad I could introduce you to Yamato! He's amazing and I adore his design 🥰🥰

[@skootergirl22]

Gay forward ypu mean?

[@CanisTheCanister]

I WAS WAITING FOR THE TRANS /NONBINARY ONE! I wanted to see which characters where :D

[@cudalynns]

YEAHHHH I was so excited to make this part!!

[@Auspop]

Love it, despite being straight-coated I am an ally and apart of the LGBTQ community, being basically the definition of pansexual, gender doesn't matter, or tho I am more leaning into panromantic with my attraction, IRL not feeling attracted to people in that... way, whether wanting to befriend and get to knowing the person first.. lovely drawings btw

[@gretazimmerman8299]

Dead End needs more love!

[@cudalynns]

AGREED! I love Dead End 💜💜

[@Radom_lobbyhoe]

Oh I'm so exited!! As a Trans guy myself I'm always on the edge of my seat cheering when a show I love also has good trans/nonbinary representation. Seeing you draw those characters and talking about them is just such a comforting thing to watch while drawing myself. Also I'm inlove with the way you drew Rain, they look so good in that shirt!

[@cudalynns]

Oh my gosh, that actually makes me so happy to hear, thank you for that 💜😭

[@jasonroper1337]

I Love DOUBLETRUBLE'S OUTFFIT YOU DID AMAZING WORK ON IT!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@delrodriguez9422]

I wanna mention some characters that people didnt know about or didnt make the cut but are also trans or nonbinary First I wanna mebtion Isabeau from my favorite game of all time In stars and time hes a great trans himbo and he has a cut scene where he talks about transitioning that made me cry Slso wanna mention Gwen from spiderverse who isnt confirmed trans but has enough evidence alongside a trans flag in her room Also for some trans headcannons Jenny the teenage robot, Scaramouche and Otis from barnyard For some nonbinary reps loop and bonnie are great also from in stars and time and bonnie also made me cry Frisk and Kris are really fun and I also love Chaos from hades especially in there new fit Also wanna mention Crona from Soul eater probably my favorite character in that show. Hope someone found some new fun characters to give some love.

[@cudalynns]

I knew a lot of these (Crona's also my fave btw 🙌), but a few are new! What kind of game is In Stars and Time? Might wanna check it out 🤔

[@delrodriguez9422]

It's a time loop found family 20$ RPG where every time you die you loop to solve puzzles it has the best writing in any game I've ever played it's also very pretty and pretty decent length around 20 hours up to 40 if you 100 percent it also has very simple turned based combat that's very easy to get into. And every character is queer in some way whether trans, ace, Demi gender, nonbinary etc. It's on PC switch PS4 and ps5

[@JAYDEN140-v4k]

I saw Barney and screamed!!! I RELATE TO HIM SOOO MUCH!!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@StoryTeller796]

I wish I had a device that could tell me all of my psychological and personal traits in the most explicit way possible. Being trans and autistic, ADHD, having a dissociative disorder, or schizophrenic, whatever I think I may have or don't know if I have it or not, I would like for a blinking light or a sign from God painted across the sky telling me who I am so I don't have to constantly worry and question my own sanity every single day. I mean, being a girl would sound really nice, I do have brief periods where nothing seems real and I can barely feel anything, I get lost within my own mind and in its own little wonderland where I see and hear things and think about what I see and hear, both real and imagined, in ways no one else can interpret them. I also do have radical shifts in how I view myself, not in terms of personality or who I fundamentally am, but when I'm uncertain if I should say or do something stupid, and then later on think about it hindsight becomes 20/20 and I realize that I should've done the thing instead of not doing it, I dodged a bullet, I regret doing something, and just a whole load of other things that just go with how rapidly yet compartimentalizingly I think about things. One moment, I'm applying one set of logic to things, and then the next, everything dramatically shifts because I realize changing circumstances, or I've been taken out to very different social circumstances. I don't know. My brain feels weird compared to other people, even people who consider themselves to be pretty weird or quirky. I just have such a specific range of emotions that create a very specific yet confusing type of person that's constantly grounded in morality and expanded through the chaos of creativity. I'm basically a spectrum of two very different people, a person who sees things in black and white "right and wrong" morality and a person who just embraces reality and how beautiful its chaotic side can be. Both these two people have, unfortunately, repressed themselves because of outside social pressure and, at their biggest extremes, have effectively adopted incredibly either "The Ends Justify the means" for the moral part, lending that side to become so hypocritical and so fundamentally broken minded that I would not ever want to stay with that part of my mind as it is literally straight up hell to stay in, and the other end, which is just such a happy-go-lucky, "Don't care about the consequences of your actions, after all nobody can get hurt because your actions never mean any harm." I want to someday find the perfect balance between the two sides, and I have, but it barely lasts because both ends start to slowly manifest and I start to slowly lose my mind once again, and it hurts me all of the time until the pain stops. I don't know how people can live normal lives. How do people like you just live like normal people?

[@carolinecheney]

Here's a character from a video game that fits in the LGBTQ+ community. Her name is Mangle, he's from Five Nights At Freddy's 2 (will hopefully be in the movie sequel), and their gender is yes. Here's the backstory. Mangle was originally named Toy Foxy, but was introduced to us in a mangled state. Phone Guy said on Night 3 that the kids couldn't keep their hands to themselves and kept breaking her, up to the point where the employees got tired of fixing him, since they were doing the repairs at EVERY SHIFT. So they made them a Take Apart, Put Back Together attraction. She can also scale the walls to look creepy and unsettling in the darkness. He is also theorized to be the culprit behind The Bite Of '87 (an animatronic in 1987 bit someone in the head causing brain damage and the person survived). That's all for Mangle!

16:12 thank you so much for putting this here in the video😭😭😭 hate of any form sucks. Thanks for making it a safe space.

[@AmbrosiaMooshine]

Yo this is a great video I loved it :)

[@cudalynns]

Thank you! 🥰

[@AidenDesventurecamp]

Yamato is a character that I found out about in this video and it made feel so good about myself because am trans ftm and I present more female

[@cudalynns]

I'm so glad I could introduce you to a character that could bring you some comfort/confidence 🥺💜

[@pixelysandwich]

I really love Kaoru Kurita from Wonder Egg Priority but he’s not very popular 😅 ALSO BARNEY??? Hello??? Amazing

[@YourLocalBoofer]

Im glad to see that theres a lot of good lgbtq representation in media!! (my parents wont let me watch any shows with that) but i do create ocs, and one of my ocs is trans, but he appears feminine like yamato. I was a little worried that since i dont know much about different types of trans people, it would be weird to have him dress more feminine. But my friend at one point thought they were a trans male (they were still figuring it out back then, but she currently identifies as female now to my knowledge) and they would dress feminine too. Thats where i had the realization that being trans is just an identification, not necessarily having to do with how people dress :D

[@skootergirl22]

Not much neurodivent

@@skootergirl22 yeah.. I think there is at least some though

We love Double Trouble here

[@Jazza07]

Im kinda questioning my own sexuality as i typically lean towards girls over boys, me and friend fake married like we fake rings and wedding but we are only friends. I brought this up once infront of some of my male classmates and he's like "ewwww wierdo" i ignored him and curse him out under my breath id prefer to keep my anger under my breath😅 thought this would be a safe place i hope it is❤ edit: LOVE THE ART

[@cudalynns]

Hey, it's totally normal to question thing like that. Take your time and maybe do some research to see if you relate to different sexualities and identities - it might help. Eventually you'll find your answer, I promise 💜💜 Also, I'm so sorry about your mean classmate, that's really hard to deal with. Especially in the unsure period of it all 🥺 Just know he's wrong for that and you're totally valid. As I said, it's natural to have those feelings and thoughts. I'm really glad you felt safe enough to share. And thank you for the compliment btw! 🥰

[@prageruwu69]

i love non-binary rep but i wish there was also more of binary trans rep too. i guess it might be rarer because it's not as easy to play that off as "that's just how this nonhuman species is like, they aren't *really* trans"
