The internet is slowly being taken over by nutcrackers. Specifically, it's being taken over by Target's new Pride version that comes decked out in the LGBTQ+ flag and a pink beard.
The doll first appeared on social media earlier this month — specifically in a TikTok that's racked up over half a million views, and is beginning to quickly sell out in stores nationwide. It wears a rainbow hat and holds a version of the Pride flag intended to include communities of color.
“Show your advocacy for LGBTQIA+ friends and family in fun, festive style with this Pride Nutcracker from Wondershop,” the nutcracker’s description reads. “Showcasing a man dressed in traditional nutcracker costume ... this decorative figurine helps you get in the rhythm for a fun and festive Christmas. The bright color scheme adds a merry touch to your seasonal display.”
But one artist online decided that going out to Target and buying the Nutcracker wasn't of interest. Instead, they turned it into art.
\u201cWelp. I guess I'm drawing Jack in that \ud83e\udd23\u201d— Oricalcon (@Oricalcon) 1635904477
\u201cDoing the aggressively gay nutcracker Jack. Do I commit to the bit and give him pink beard/hair or do I chicken out\u201d— Oricalcon (@Oricalcon) 1636241509
After a quick query online, the artist known as Oriacalcon turned a figure known as Jack into the queer nutcracker we never dreamed of. The art came complete with pink body hair. And we have to say ... it's beautiful.
\u201cI've made a terrible mistake; I've gotten committed to this stupid meme. I'm actually gonna paint this whole thing. LMAO.\u201d— Oricalcon (@Oricalcon) 1636344918
\u201cOh god it's done. I committed way too hard to this pic, you'll see in a few hours \ud83e\udd23 my whole drawing arm hurts...\u201d— Oricalcon (@Oricalcon) 1636445305
\u201cThe minute I saw that Extra Gay Nutcracker from Target, I knew what I had to do. Tis the season! \ud83c\udf30\ud83d\udc00\u201d— Oricalcon (@Oricalcon) 1636474454
All hail Oriacalcon (warning: link contains some NSFW art) who is apparently available for commissioning if you have any ideas!
