Broken Heart of Gold

USERDRAMAS EVENT 25: REFRESH

For our next event, make any type of visual content (gifs, edits, fmvs, fanart, etc.) of Asian media inspired by REFRESH. You can interpret this theme in many ways: water, oceans, rain, breezy coastal scenes, seaside towns; refreshing aesthetics like soft colors, light-filled frames, and clean compositions; or moments of emotional reset, healing, and letting go. It can also be media that feels “refreshing” in storytelling or chemistry, something that surprised you or felt new and alive: unreliable narrators, unexpected storytelling styles, and unconventional protagonists. Or think of characters finding emotional renewal, healing from burnout or heartbreak, or starting over with a lighter heart; slice-of-life stories that feel calming or grounding; stories showcasing vibrant youthful energy, spontaneity, freedom, and movement. Show us anything that feels like renewal, clarity, or a breath of fresh air.

Event entries can be submitted from now thru July 26th!

Do I miss some foods I can't eat anymore without getting sick? Sure, but that's not what really bothers me. What bothers me is being excluded from a huge portion of human social life of which food is a crucial component. What bothers me is the stress and social stigma of trying to figure out what I can safely eat. What bothers me is the amount of extra work and cost that is required of me to identify, obtain, and prepare safe foods. What bothers me is people treating my needs like a nuisance, as though I chose to be like this - as though their brief inconvenience to check an ingredients list is unreasonable, when I deal with this every day of my life forever.

I don't miss the food that much. I miss not having to worry about what I eat. I miss freedom. I miss when trying new foods and new restaurants was fun instead of a minefield. I miss not having to plan my entire life around the need for safe foods.
