And I was never ever happier
Than in the arms and in the charms of her
Serena/Usagi, from
Sailor Moon, who ranks in as my second most favorite character in the show, remains an ever present inspiration in different ways. One of the biggest is how hard she holds on to her innocence and her belief in love, her friends, the world. The showcasing that to do these things is an hard, but rewarding, struggle.
And I was never ever happier
Than in the arms and in the charms of her
Katina "Katchoo" Choovanski, from
Strangers in Paradise, my second most favorite comic series/franchise and my favorite character therein. The clip is from an art pieces which was a book cover and the words are from the poem/song about "Baby June" from the series, also. There is a beautiful mixture of things in her character, her history and the story of what it takes to grow from who you realize you are into who you want to be.
Little Sister is watching.
Kabuki, both the name of the girl and
the comic, are quietly, deeply loved by me. There is so much art and music and beauty in this world, even when mixed with the dystopic pain and horrors. I own this whole set signed, and beautiful art works from it. It's also my music is all that exists in my mind icon, which I need because seventeen years of soprano training has left music part of my soul.
A beautiful piece of art by Audrey Kawaski. I like this piece so. It's a compelling cross for me between my writer's icon about it being both mask and unmasking, and on others it reminds me of myths. The multiple layers of ourselves. Who we present ourselves as, and where we come and pull it all away. Like this place is for me.
"Careful," Lye said. "I am fragile."
"That's all right," September said. "I'm not."
Oh, September of the orange dress, and Catherynne Valente, you have such a way with words. This is an icon from during being part of the audience for the serialized
The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making. But this quote especially stuck both like a thorn in my skirts and a song I'd learned too well, while I lived in Korea. It’s such a deep truth to what will happen, and such an important thing to forget when you set out.
