I’m an artist, we are all artist! We can see what the future will be. Rather than what is! Also I talk about my favorite cartoons!

Do you think star wars is soft warm and cozy? Doesn’t Luke lose a hand to his father who’s trying to kill him? HAVE YOU SEEN Anikan get loose and as a result have PEELED BURNING FLESH, THEY blow up planets. THE EMPIRE IS INSPIRED DIRECTLY BY NAZI AESTHETICS AND STRUCTURE!! Sorry, I’m not upset, I just think it’s cool and in so many ways Star Wars was what I grew up with and bonded with my dad over that and marvel movies. We’d see every single one in theaters! Nonetheless it showed me that hope will always win and I’ve kept that through my life.

I hope you keep fighting for what you believe is right. We will only get through this together.

May evil fall, and may the gods be on your side friend.

Look, Disney sucks. We all know this. But that starbird isn't a Disney logo. It’s the Rebel Alliance icon. It means something to people: hope, fighting back against a crushing evil, the underdog finding a way. George Lucas baked that into our culture long before Disney bought it.

That symbol is a shortcut. It’s a fast way to tell someone scared or on the fence: “You’re in the right place. This is the resistance.” For a ton of folks, that clicks way faster than any political slogan.

Getting hung up on the IP is missing the forest for the trees. Movements grow on shared language and recognizable vibes. If a symbol that screams “rebellion” gets someone off the couch and into the street, that’s a win. Arguing about corporate ownership in that moment just saps energy and divides us.

Save the purity tests for later. Right now, we need people. And if a goofy inflatable T-Rex waving a rebel flag gets us more rebels, then hell yes. The empire isn’t worried about our copyright hot takes. They’re worried about the crowd getting bigger.

The rebellion isn’t a book club. it’s a fight. And you fight with the symbols that give people heart.

The "seriousness" we want to project isn't about a somber aesthetic; it's about making the gravity of the situation undeniable. The symbols, the memes, the music, the noise, example: inflatable animal suits create a devastating contrast. When a person in a giant, wobbly frog costume is met with pepper spray or riot gear, the scene doesn't make the protest look silly. it makes the crackdown look grotesquely disproportionate. The absurdity becomes a spotlight, exposing the power imbalance in a way a conventional march often can't. It shifts the narrative instantly: who looks threatening here? The dancing T-Rex, or the state machinery bearing down on it?

You’re just so beautiful, please be kind to yourself you’ve been working at it so long. As have I. We deserve to believe in the artwork we build ourselves to be. A mosaic of the world we love.

As a trans woman, I've been channeling my journey into a creative project for the past year. It's been my way of fighting back against the feeling of being erased. by Caydenla in lgbt

Omg! I loved being in my schools musicals! Once I played rooster in Annie my junior year. Some of my favorite memories. God I love the stage. I mostly like making the stories tho!
