#making a difference

Hey so this is a more serious post than I usually make but I’m hoping to reach a wider community and I know that there are some creators here, but it really makes a difference!!

People adopt behaviors from the media they consume.

Even just a small background moment where a character puts something in a recycling bin, via even just changing one word or the color of the bin depicted can make a difference in people’s behavior and the way they interact with the world.

If you show solar panels in the background, or mention that someone turns the lights off when leaving a room, that can make a meaningful impact on your community’s actions!

It can be so so small that people don’t even notice, but it can make all the difference.

Creators have power to create change, and media, fandom and otherwise, has power to reach people.

The way that the characters we love behave affects our behavior, and we can make the world better through them.

It’s a small way to reclaim power, but it matters in our world.

But after many passing eras, born were many drops of blue.

Inside the red biased pot, those born blue felt very different and in it they couldn't dare find pride. The sense of shame for being born different eating away their inner power.

The drops of many blues, couldn't accept who they were.

All mulled over and over, "i am different. I am different. I am different. " depending on the season the chant changing tones, sometimes they sang with pride, sometimes they sang with dreadful shame. But always, they mulled.

"Why was I born blue in the pot full of red?"

Cried many when shame collapsed their enduring spine.

And a voice from inside and beyond whispered,

"To transform the existence purple."

Sometimes we are different but that when only mulled over, spirals and spirals into a defensive circle, that it in itself creates a laminated effect, the blue doesn't blend with the red because the blue keeps dwelling in shame for being born blue. But when the blue finally stands in its power, in heart full of acceptance and audacity. That is when the different, makes a difference.
