My lewk from today. Felt very cute. I was a raccoon! I tried to make it seem like she had collected lots of shiny silver jewelry along her glam raccoon life.

So.. I cosplay most of my OCs.. 🙈
Some of you may know that I'm a make up/drag artist and performer. Some of you may also know that I use those skills to bring some of my OCs to life on my own face.
Anyway, I made a poll of posts I should do and posting pics of me as Kazimier from my story 🌐7 Circles🌐 was the winner. 🎉
I'm flattered and flustered at the same time, but hopefully yall enjoy!
Most of these were shot in '22. Last pic is most recent (oct'23)
Old video of me as Kaz to finish (heads up I'm NOT on tiktak anymore). Ok representation of what he sounds like!
Gods, what a weird looking mf.. and he is almost that animated when he's not hiding who he is. Also his left fang being crooked is cannon lol
Not sure which of you voted for this, but I hope ya liked it?

Super heroes as an allegory for Queer and Trans Narratives
Forgive me if this is a little rambley I have already taken my sleep meds.
I was just thinking about why I like super heroes so much (they have been my special interested for probably around 8 years now) and I think because they can be seen as a queer allegory.
You have a separate life, one that you have to keep separate from your day to day life. That very much feels like being in the closet/mostly in the closet. That secrete life comes with a different name and different clothes. Trans people or Drag Artists anyone? Most of the time super heroes find each other and form a tight community because no civilian will understand their experiences. This mirrors queer people finding and building community. In both Marvel and DC older heroes will take younger ones under their wings to teach them and give them community. Queer people have taken me under their wing and I've done the same for others.
Theres also the isolation. Most heroes are only "out" as heroes to other heroes and maybe a few civilians they really truly trust. Or maybe no one knows. The knowledge that you have a huge secret. You are hiding a big part of your self. Maybe the part that is more you than the you everyone else knows. You know that if you tell or someone finds out, everything will change. Others may or may not except that part of you. You may loose people you love. Maybe the people who are close to you are pro heroes (Ned from Spiderman) or maybe they are not (Foggy from Daredevil) but either way there will always be a possibility of rejection.
The danger of being a hero also lines up. They wear masks, cowls, helmets, disguises etc, to hide their identities because if people knew they and the people they love would be in danger. Heroes who's identities are known (either by their own volition or someone else's) are also in danger. Batman keeps his and his kids identities under lock and key because everything goes wrong when the wrong person finds out. Jessica Jones does not because she's tired of hiding. Queer people weather in or out of the closet are also in danger of being outed. I've been outed before and it ruined one relationship and almost ruined another. I've lost friends and family because of being queer and nonbinary and I'm from a pretty liberal area. Just look up death, houselessness, rape, unemployment, suicide statistic etc. All of them are higher for queer, trans and intersex folks.
The last parallel I can think of is how both super heroes and queer/trans people exist outside of the system/establishment. Heroes and vigilantes work outside of the justice system because in most cases because they see it doesn't work. They are usually at risk of arrest by cops or in danger from the government (the Sokovia accords are a good example of this). Queer people exist outside of many establishments: The gender binary, amatonormativity, heteronormativity, the sex binary, etc. Queer people are also at greater risk of arrest and experiencing police violence.
IDK these are just my thoughts. I hope everything made sense. If you can think of any other ways super hero narratives mirror lgbtq experiences feel free to put them in the notes! (or not its whatever)
So i went to a drag show the other day and one of the Drag Kings was especially iconic
he introduced himself as "Oliver Garden, because when you're queer you're family"
His persona was a blond elvis impersonator/church preacher? (ironic because he's jewish). With the iconic line of "in this church LGBTQ stands for 'LET GOD BLESS THESE QUEERS'"
DID NOT LIP SYNC HIS SONG HE SANG AND ROCKED THAT ELVIS VIBE HARD
anyways i had a blast and fuck yeah Let God Bless These Queers
