Pride Spotlight - Cironus

Added 2025-06-30 20:40:38 +0000 UTC

Here is the last spotlight for this month but certainly not the least by any means - Cironus!

While researching orca behaviors when first setting up the zorca, I learned they're polyamorous. The zorca follow the same behavior, where they meet with other pods and pair off. Sometimes it's with the same partner, or a different one, or there is a polycule of consenting individuals. Some examples include Lurona with her two partners Kamion and Fat Fin. And with Cironus, he's in a relationship with Sidon and Yona <3

The dumbest (and yet not surprising) issue regarding poly-relationships is the discrimination against fat people and poc in said relationships. As far as Ive seen the idea is that they don't fit in the ✨aesthetic✨ of what's considered beautiful (i.e. thin and light skinned 🙄) Fandom wise, Ive come across the occasional Sidon/Link fan who said Cironus was weird, and when I'd ask why it was very obvious they wanted to say its because he was fat.

Whether in real life or with OCs (like it was with me and Branka, you may discover something about yourself or use them as a platform) marginalized people deserve love, dignity, and a safe place just to be! ✊Despite everything, you're still you, and I hope you can love who you are and be around people who love you as well!
