#bright eye

I wasn't sure if or when I'd post this, but I finally gained the confidence to reveal who I made be Audrey in my Hater's Shop of Horrors AU!! 'It’s none other than Elora Fancypants herself!!!

I had spent a lot of time hokey-cokeying in-and-out of the closet in the years running up to it, like Mike Wazowski trying to fill up a scream canister. I often found myself needing an outlet - either consciously or subconsciously - for my identity, and with the gift of hindsight I think I used music as this outlet a huge amount. Sometimes this was in the form of character/fan mixes (I have a whole article about this filed away somewhere from before I came out that I was too chickenshit to publish at the time), or in the form of projecting myself onto stories that didn’t quite fit.
