Take the outsider. Whiten the outsider. Take the violence. Aestheticize the violence. Corsets. Flower crowns. Latex. Softcore pornography in ribbons. Plunging necklines. Take the mud the dirt the miremuck of disgraced colonial history. Make it editorial. Make it swing flaccidly towards camp, yes mama boots the house down. Take the class rage. Sell it as background atmosphere, thoughtful addendum, glorious footnote of gold. Take the gaping racial wound. Disappear it. Call its absence “modern.” Then stand there, powdered and well-funded, asking why everyone is being so dramatic about the missing body.

THIS was the image that haunted me as it just screams hellcheer! a major thank you to @endlessdreamerxoxo for finding the original for me 💕

OR the special project I’ve been spending months on is finally here!!! I hope you’ll like it! I’ve tested it on Safari/Chrome, but I have no idea how it might behave on different browsers... if you experience any difficulties let me know so I can see what I can fix!!

you will not get butterflies if you kill all the things that turn into butterflies! what are you doing!

getting a lot of responses to this going 'ok but it would be good as a metaphor though' so I will accept a metaphorical interpretation as long as you ALSO (!) promise to be considerate towards larval forms of insects specifically and biodiversity in general, deal?
