Happy Spirit Day!

Actually, I should be one day too late with this, but dA turned purple today so...I guess I'm not? o_O

This was the main reason for my poll before, I couldn't decide which of my OCs I should draw, so I let YOU decide for me! 8D *lol* I wanted to make something for this day, and....yeah....this was really fastly done, but I didn't really have much time to make it!

Oh, Mai. You look so handsome when you sleep. :'D *lawl* And yeah, he's dreaming of a llama...as did I some nights ago...

Enjoy!

What is Spirit Day?

The idea behind Spirit Day, first created by teenager Brittany McMillan earlier this month, is a simple one, not dissimilar to the idea of "Spirit Week" held in many high schools, and can be summed up in three words: Everyone Rally Together.

Spirit Day honors the teenagers who had taken their own lives in recent weeks. But just as importantly, it's also a way to show the hundreds of thousands of LGBT youth who face the same pressures and bullying, that there is a vast community of people who support them.

Purple symbolizes 'spirit' on the rainbow flag, a symbol for LGBT Pride that was created by Gilbert Baker in 1978.

As one of the event's Facebook pages says: "This event is not a seminar nor is it a rally. There is NO meeting place. All you have to do is wear purple."

Wearing purple on October 20 is a simple way to show the world that you stand by these courageous young people and a simple way to stand UP to the bullies. Remember those lives we've tragically lost--including Tyler Clementi, Zach Harrington, Asher Brown, Seth Walsh, Justin Aaberg, Raymond Chase, Billy Lucas and Cody J. Barker--and show your solidarity with those who are still fighting. 'Go Purple' today!
