[For when the canvas expands]

Big Original Boykisser

There are not nearly enough boykissers up until now. To fix this, I propose a fairly big boykisser for when the canvas doubles. This is the original version of the boykisser, back when they hypnotised to viewer. Assuming that the canvas will double to the right at 06:00 CEST (in 5,5h at time of writing), here's a possible Template:

To discuss the making of it, I've created a Matrix Room:

• Group name : Feditrain
• Project : we build a long train or several one, and put our avatar above it. The train will run on flag. Think it as a train that transport us and our message through ActivityPub road.
• We leaved matrix for Zulip (better thread support and organization. But no federation between servers). So no group yet.
• Snoopy has plenty cool picture allowing an endless gif to express our feelings and he is a warm type writter

I need to draw the template and test the train scale so our avatar won't be very small.

Some picture. The train model (we could choose multiple model and it is a solarpunk idea) :

And above that train, on each wagon, we put our avatars in pixelart. For example, i will draw this snoopy :

(Not So) Fun Fact: 5.8 million dogs and cats were put up for adoption in 2024, and in the same year, there were only 4.2 million adoptions. Consider a shelter animal rather than a breeder for your next pet, and consider donating to your local animal rescue.

Anyone else making furry or generally animal themed art is more than welcome to drop their own art in / around these. If you've got something you're planning to draw, and want to pop into the above linked Matrix chat, we'll try to integrate it and update the template.

Fun fact: the Flag of Europe in the middle of the template is way older than the European Union, from 1953.

Note: The flags for this year were not selected by me, but are those that people drew during Canvas 2024. I reorganized them to reduce the number of places where identical colors touch. I also reserved a spot for up to 4 newcomers.
