This is my Rose Quartz cosplay. I wore it to AnimeNEXT in June, and have never in my life felt more accepted, beautiful, and at home in my body. I want to thank my cosplay partners,  bunny-speak and elyseexplosion, for their help on this costume, ghostcowboy for calming me down every time I thought I wasn’t good enough to cosplay, and averyfatopossum for being so enthusiastically supportive of me even attempting this. 

This costume was hand-made. Every curl on the wig I put there. Every stitch on the dress either bunny-speak or I sewed. My father helped built the sword. elyseexplosion helped me spray paint. I hand-painted all the details. It took months, but it all came together and to me, it is absolutely perfect.

From the moment I stepped out of our hotel room door, I felt a wholeness I had never really felt before. I felt that people were looking at me and not seeing a monster. Every time someone asked for a picture of me, I knew it wasn’t to mock me later. I could look people in the eye and feel like I was worth something when I was rose. Rose is huge. Rose is beautiful. I am huge.

So, to Rebecca Sugar, and all of the crewniverse, THANK YOU. Thank you for giving me, and anyone like me, someone beautiful and kind and bright and shining to look up to. Someone who isn’t the butt of every joke, someone who isn’t seen as repulsive. Someone who is, most importantly, loved. Thank you for giving us a giant woman who is shown as worthy of love and respect. I’ve never been able to cosplay comfortably before because I’ve never in my life seen a character that looked remotely like me that wasn’t a joke. Thank you for Steven Universe. Thank you for Rose Quartz.

Had we invented the phonograph and the radio, how much more faithfully they would reproduce the special character of our voices and our music. Japanese music is above all a music of reticence, of atmosphere. When recorded, or amplified by a loudspeaker, the greater part of its charm is lost. In conversation, too, we prefer the soft voice, the understatement. Most important of all are the pauses. Yet the phonograph and radio render these moments of silence utterly lifeless.

It would surely have had a tufted end like our writing brush. The ink would not have been this bluish color but rather black, something like India ink, and it would have been made to seep down from the handle into the brush. And since we would have found it inconvenient to write on Western paper, something near Japanese paper — even under mass production, if you will — would have been most in demand. Foreign ink and pen would not be as popular as they are; the talk of discarding our system of writing for Roman letters would be less noisy; people would still feel an affection for the old system. But more than that: our thought and our literature might not be imitating the West as they are, but might have pushed forward into new regions quite on their own. An insignificant little piece of writing equipment, when one thinks of it, has had a vast, almost boundless, influence on our culture.

Like do you ever see Hindus blowing smoke rings around Mother Mary?? No. No you do not, because that is disrespectful as fuck and anyone with any respect for religion would understand that. Hinduism is a living, breathing religion with millions of followers and stuff like this tokenizes people’s beliefs. I’m through being understanding! Also, stop fucking tattooing om symbols on your skin unless you adhere and subscribe to the religion! it’s disrespectful! You wouldn’t respect or like someone tattooing a cross because it’s ~~~spiritual~~~ so fucking stoppppp tolerating when it’s another religion.

On systemic racism, anti-blackness & the prioritization of black struggle–

“One thing that I want to make very clear, whether or not we want to acknowledge it, hear it or accept it as truth is that: the entire system of racism is built on anti-blackness. The entire system of racism is built on anti-blackness."
