if you’re (rightly!) pissed at Firefox for doubling down on AI nonsense, as a web developer I would humbly request that you consider trying Waterfox, Orion or Safari before you move to something based on Chromium; Google are already too powerful, don’t hand the web to them

In Alcadia they're treated well.
Cal in his culture is very much a spiritual leader because he's "both male and female"
Elves have a whole ring code for gender. Canonically a trans elf becomes the monarch for the desert elves.
More than a handful of pirates fled gender based persecution elsewhere

THIS. Frustration tolerance is the key to getting good at anything at all, not just art. Socials media makes it so easy to compare yourself to others, but you just have to ignore that and have fun with your little drawings. Do it enough and you'll eventually get better through trial and error.

In Linuria, the seasons correlate with one of the two moons.
Rose moon - Light rains. Everything is in heavy bloom. Life is good. Late night revels all of the time.
Ghost moon - Heavy monsoons. Its basically winter for them, and everyone tries to avoid being out after dark to avoid ghosts.
