Little-alienated - Local Cryptid

A relic from the Holy Catacombs of Pancratius

Your disability/illness/disorder is NOT “an excuse”, it’s a reality. Having limitations does not make you lazy. You should never feel guilty because you have limitations.

a thing that annoys me a lot nowadays is the way the average person unceasingly consumes art in the vast ocean of information that is internet - especially young people.

most treat art as it is some kind of disposable and throwaway thing that serves ephemeral delights and put no effort into understanding it; it’s all about aesthetics and catchy visuals with no real depth or actual meaning.most of us nowadays don’t care who put effort into art - we don’t care who’s the person that manages to evoke and transmit all these feelings. it’s just an endless need to be aesthetic, beautiful and in-tune with modern standards consuming pictures like we consume our food and all the materials that we need to make ourselves “happy” but in the internet it comes for free; we don’t even have to try. 

makes me think the way we praise and give so much credit to older artists like picaso, warhol or dali after so many years but give no respect or visibility to modern artists that struggle to be relevant and the least succesful, in an institution that has done almost everything and drained itself out of ideas and original concepts. “there is a deeply ethical appeal in the desire for a more inclusive representational landscape and certainly under-represented communities can be empowered by an enhanced visibility, the terms of this visibility can often enervate the putative power of these identities."

Second attempt at Cirrus - November 2022

He got turned into a pretty boy yay! The previous design didn't match his personality at all. At this point he's still a sorcerer, but that changes later too.

The LGBT+ is not a club. You can’t purchase or be allowed access. There is no stamp you have to get to be able to get in the door. Its not even one single community.

The LGBT+ is an ALLYSHIP. Its a coalition of a lot of smaller communities who found a common enemy and recognized their forces were more beneficial when put together, and that no matter differences in experience, they were all unified against the same enemy.

Every letter added to the acronym stands for another group fighting back, arm in arm. Not someone joining the cool kid club.

And you as individuals do not have the right to veto allyship just because you can’t personally understand the reasons why a group is fighting your shared adversary. You as smaller groups don’t have the power to deny allyship to any given group when the larger groups are holding their hands and standing side by side.

Grow up and stop behaving like toddlers who had to share toys with a kid they don’t like. Get over yourselves. Get over your bigotry. See the bigger picture.

Care about the groups you’re affecting. Care about the actual necessity of the LGBT+, the main goal, and the realities faced by the smaller communities more than you do about keeping your ideological concept of the community “"pure.”“

Stop looking at the LGBT+ like some treehouse that you own and get to decide who gets entrance to. The LGBT+ are so many communities, all working together, and you don’t get to decide for all of them who they want to align with, who they want to help and share experiences with, who they want to identify with, who they overlap with, who they share resources with. You speak for yourselves and that’s it.
