These look awesome, ty so much for doing so many of them! I now have to decide which to use as backdrop when there are 3 that i would love. I really appreciate the hidden disabilities backdrop, too. Maybe I can get the 3 and rotate through them for however long they last.

I wonder how long we will have a backdrop for. Will the event last longer than a backdrop lifespan? If so, it could encourage people to choose a different second one. Hopefully they won't be too expensive will they sit in our inventory like some have in the past?

Wow, these are stunning! I don't know which ones to use anymore. I was going to go with aroace or aro one, but now I'm going back and forth on whether I should use the hidden disabilities one, since so many people in my life have them (all my siblings, various cousins, deceased loved ones, close friends) but I'm not sure if I should use a flag that isn't representative of me specifically. If anyone has advice on it would be appreciated

Thank you so much @/Mistreil for all the work you put into these! They're amazing

I can't speak for everyone, but I don't see any issue for rockin the hidden disabilities flag even though it isnt representative to you specifically. It spreads awareness and also supports your loved ones who it does specifically represent. People without the disability or illness will never fully understand what others do through who have x and vice versa applies too!!
Although it isn't talked about very often, disabilities of any kind has an effect on people around the disabled person. It isn't always easy living with someone with limitations, and people who live with them sometimes need support too during difficult or frustrating times. There are different responsibilities, fears, frustrations, and hurtles for each.

Spoiler: Example scenario

Sometimes additional help isn't always available, like say if you need a motor cart for example at Walmart. There are only so many. Someone not effected by x could still shop no problem and not have to worry about motor cart availability. However someone effected by x will have to have plan b, and even sometimes plan c before even leaving the house for just that one thing. Loved ones who go with them may feel frustrated about the lack of motor carts too. Not because they would have to push thier loved one or do the shopping for them, or it makes the trip longer, but thier loved my suffer because of lack or motor carts if they don't decide to just go home, and feel frustrated about that because a motor cart, that one thing, would make it so much easier at the store or they feel frustrated they can't just browse the store with their loved one together as a simple slice of life enjoyment.
Sometimes there may be fears with using a motor cart at all because a disability is hidden and the public is judgy and nosey.. and with limited motor carts that increases tensions.
Hopefully this makes sense.

Just my opinion, but I think it would be fine. I tend to think of it as an ally or representing loved ones, which imo is awesome. Sometimes, you can help spread awareness that way as well. And, it's bee-autiful with all the sunflowers.

(I meant to type beautiful, but my auto correct turned out into bee-autiful, meh, might as well leave it that way lol. )

I like the regular design the best. It’s not so light that you can’t see anything and not too dark that the text can’t be seen.
