Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let Down Your Hair

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair—

Fair as a maiden, bold as a snare.

Grew up under yonder witch’s care,

Harken, momentous dwelling in her lair.

Pails from the well, dragged with pulley flare,

Adventurous explorer, nature’s ware.

Skimp barefoot in moor-grass blades,

Growth spurts from the day’s old gates.

Out-willed free will, gifts grown determined,

Sacred or profane, her hunger untamed.

Femininity is brave.

Shrill screaming dressed in melody’s praise,

Precociously tying herself down in braids.

Enthralled mane petted by the dumb and lame—

Eloped with a changeling, darting dame,

Found family in exiling ail.

A modern fairy tale.

Rapunzel’s happily ever after

concludes with cutting it short.

Dream Girls

Sometimes really good friends are better than lovers

Celestial girls who reach down my throat and into my lungs Breathing life back into me patiently, methodically

Angel girls who summon supernatural forces to bid revenge Armoured in friendship bracelets and whispered promises Stitching my wounds with rainbow loom

They do not ask for my heart or my hand They already hold it in their palms

They do not demand my love They have always known it Woven into their consciousness And sealed with a pinky promise

Another piece from 2022.

When I was little I had a collection of tiny Disney books, and one of them was Sleeping Beauty. I read these over and over again - I was just in love. I actually watched the movie when I was much older and I appreciated it differently.

You may wonder why is Sleeping Beauty lost in a reverie in a modern kitchen, with a cat? :) Because this was part of that “finding your voice” experiment, and I wanted to mash up in one painting two themes: “slice of life” and “6 year old tattoo”. (More about it in @andyjpizza ‘s class on Skillshare).

For the “6 year old tattoo” you had to go back in time and think of a tattoo that you liked when you were little, but you would still love now (for me it was Disney princesses - Sleeping Beauty).

The “slice of life” refers to your everyday experiences. Sometimes, as a break from work, I love going in to the kitchen and just daydream, look over the window or just look at my favourite teapots and jars (it might be boring for some :)) but for me it has a calming effect :))

modernfairytale replied to your post: Did Framework!Fitz’s dad raise him alone, and his...

He dropped a line about “I should have left you with your mother” which makes me think Fitz dad still left but took Fitz with him

It definitely makes you realize how much a parent can influence their children. It doesn’t excuse their actions in the future, but it definitely explains it to a degree. It just makes me happy to know how much his mother influenced him in their real life because seeing his dad and seeing Fitz like this really makes me feel for him.

Iain did an incredible job because I usually don’t notice subtle things like the flinches until after I’ve seen the episode again, but this time I noticed it on the first try.
