I Need To Find An Artistic Outlet, I Don't Really Do Much Creative Stuff Anymore

had a dream last night that trucy became like a mainstream celebrity by pioneering a new type of magic show where she would do tricks like normal but every once in a while she would let the audience "peep the horror" and put this like red and black pulsating mass on stage (it kinda looked like an ai generated image) and the whole deal was that everyone who saw it thought it was the funniest thing they'd ever seen but every time she'd show it one audience member who saw it would die

it ended when she showed it on stage and dropped dead. the show was left going for 72 hours to honor her memory, it was dead quiet with just her body and a slowly pulsating red mass on stage beside her

honestly this comic I've seen here and there gets under my skin way more than it should. Like it's stupid and petty of me and the general message of "let your child wear what they want" is broadly good but it just feels like it reduces overcoming the enforcement of gender roles down to "parents permitting boys to wear a skirt if they ask nicely" in a way that feels like mildly progressive parents patting themselves on the back for hypothetically accepting gender non conformity whilst their closeted trans daughter is too scared of judgement from picking the girl character model on halo incase your parents walked in and made a fuss about it

“Don’t play with that, Billy, it’s for girls.” “You can play with whatever you want, Peter.” “Don’t be silly, Billy. You’re a boy.” “Sure, Peter. If you like it.” “You should be ashamed! You forced this poor boy to be like you wanted him to be. Juset because you wanted a girl, I bet.” Follow this link to find a short video and analysis of gender identity and the way society attempts to police it. Source: theweetosdoesart

That boy who was labelled "gifted" in middle school and internalised that if he wasn't smart then nobody would care about him, is actually now a girl who's internalised that if she isn't pretty then nobody will care about her

I never did get to show her…

i’m so glad earth only has one moon, if there were more i’d have to pick a favorite and that sounds too emotionally taxing to even fathom
