#monster discourse

[realisaonum]

There isn’t “the art and the artist” and one does not “separate art from artist.” To my mind, that is a broken moral calculus that confuses rectitude for an honest accounting of how we live in the world. The very question is stupid right down to its core. The better question is why do you need to feel comfortable in the rightness of the art you engage. Why do you need to create a safe art that has no harmful valences in it? I know why. You know why. Because otherwise, one has to own up to the knife you hold behind you, ready to plunge it into your brother’s back. Otherwise, you have to own up to the commonness and smallness and the very humanness of monstrosity itself.

Hi Milla! I think you'd be a merperson! Or maybe one of the Fae. Do Fae count as monsters? Idk. ☆

I guess that depends on what “monster” means to you. I would categorize both of those a “magical creatures” but not necessarily monsters.

Thank you for the comparison, though!

the BEST and MOST VALID response to that post is people tagging and publicly outing their monster fucker friends

[crucibleknight]
