Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them.

The current climate is especially accelerating this.

Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves.
Let's all join hands and change the world🫶🌏🫶

SIGN UP FOR THE TRIPLE LAUREL 🐴

@dukenmaverick.bsky.social and i are hosting an umamusume tournament series called the triple laurel on october 18!

trainers can choose to race in one or multiple events with a 3-uma team mirroring recent CMs - no grade restrictions.

🔗 forms.gle/ijN5AaAs5ZJj...

TITLE: "Tourney Format (1/2)"
BODY: "The Triple Laurel is an Umamusume tournament series consisting of:

The “Viper Cup” (aka Taurus Cup): Tokyo Turf 2400 (Medium) Left / Spring / Sunny / Firm

The “Bronco Cup” (aka Gemini Cup): Kyoto Turf 3200m (Long) Right / Outer / Spring / Sunny / Firm

The “Billy Cup” (aka Cancer Cup): Tokyo Turf 1600m (Mile) Left / Summer / Sunny / Good

Trainers will run a 3-Uma team with no training grade restrictions. Each event will consist of 3 rounds, and the first 10 finishers in a race will receive a scaling amount of points based on their placement.

If more than one of your Umas places, each of their points awarded will count towards the trainer’s final score. The trainer with the most points at the end is the winner for that event!"

TITLE: "Prizes (2/2)"
BODY: "The winners of each event will receive a custom 3D-printed Triple Laurel trophy (model by @AnuraLitho).

As a bonus, each winner has the option to challenge one of the hosts in a single-round 3v3 “Legend Race” with the same racetrack/conditions for their corresponding event. Victorious challengers will receive an additional secret trophy!

We can only ship within the United States, Canada, and select international countries. Winners will be contacted via social media.

All trophies are custom-printed and hand-painted, and will be shipped out before the end of the year. Details are subject to change."

Let's respond to hate with love.
Let's respond to love with big love.

To those who are anti-transgender, Chiitan isn't asking you to understand transgender people.
I ask that you quietly watch over us.

Transgender people just want to be happy with the people they love🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

should probably clarify that figtree ISN'T the font the cygames folks use for official graphics, but it's a similar-enough dupe~

LUMINA✦VIOLET 🐱💖 (moving hiatus) @luminaviolet.bsky.social · Sep 13

i've been slowly working out the details for this for about a month now and i'm SO DAMN EXCITED ABOUT IT

also this made for a fun exploration in imitating the uma graphic design style and idk i feel like i nailed it 👉👈

i also don't wanna gatekeep so the typeface is a google font called figtree

y'know thinking back i just wasn't passionate enough so that's obviously why saber wasn't coming home... next time i'll shout EXCALIBUR on every 10-pull

LUMINA✦VIOLET 🐱💖 (moving hiatus) @luminaviolet.bsky.social · Aug 3
