Vivian Goode! Oddly enough I had yet to get around to drawing her. I kinda needed to make a decision asap since the next Snoodetober prompt "Feast" features her. So I thought my fellow "Snoodists" lolz...would enjoy a look at the character building process for @rose0jam 's Vivian. Aka: best Mum!

JaNUARY THIRTY-FIRST

I FEEL LIKE THERE IS A STIGMA AROUND LOVING SOMEONE THESE DAYS AND THAT A RELATIONSHIP IS SEEN AS A BAD THING. WE HAVE SO MANY OPTIONS OPEN TO US, WAYS TO FIND NEW PEOPLE, TO FIND ATTENTION AND AFFECTION FROM SO MANY SOCIAL OUTLETS. WE POST, THEY PRAISE, WE POST AGAIN, AND WE HAVE NAMED IT SELF-LOVE. WE SEARCH FOR IT EVERYWHERE, TO FEEL VALUED, BUT WHEN SOMEONE COMES ALONG TO LOVE US SOLELY IT IS NOW SEEN AS A RESTRICTION. THAT YOUR FREEDOM IS NO LONGER THERE, THAT YOU WILL BECOME TIED DOWN, BUT NO. A TRUE LOVE IS WHEN YOU FIND A PARTNER WHO LOVES YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE, WHO DOESN’T WANT YOU TO CHANGE, JUST GROW, GROW INDEPENDENTLY AND GROW TOGETHER. SOMEONE WHO WILL PUSH YOU TOWARDS YOUR DREAMS BUT ALSO BE THERE TO CATCH YOU WHEN YOU FALL, ALL JUST TO HELP YOU LEAP AGAIN. I WISH WE DIDN’T NEED TO BE ADMIRED, TO BE ADORED BY A FOLLOWING AND THAT WE WERE STILL JUST HAPPY FINDING ‘THE ONE’.

WhERE IS THIS WORLD TAKING US?

WhAT ARE OUR RIGHTS?

JaNUARY TWENTY FIRST

SOME PEOPLE HAVE A CAUSE, A DRIVE WITHIN THEM TO ACT. TO SEE SOMETHING THEY DON’T AGREE WITH AND FEEL SO STRONGLY THEY GET UP, GET OUT AND WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THEIR ACTIONS CONTRIBUTE TO CHANGE, TILL THEIR VOICE IS HEARD.

A TRUE FORM OF PASSION; A FUEL SO POWERFUL THAT WHEN AN IGNITION IS MADE A FIRE BELLOW FROM WITHIN.

I ADMIRE THE COURAGEOUS NATURE.

A friend of mine asked if I wanted to go and see the ‘Women’s March of London’ that took place on Saturday twenty first. I am intrigued with days like this, to see people come together for a shared interest and fight for a change. So I said sure, not really knowing what women were actually marching for I searched, and reading their website I was still unsure.

I walked through Trafalgar square, pushed my way through the crowd and to be honest, I was still unsure and I wasn’t entirely convinced if some people actually knew themselves. I saw signs for women, for black lives, for politics, for trump (anti trump obviously), I saw a lot of people taking pictures, but were they taking it all in?

I decided to make my way towards to the podium, to try and grasp the core message of the day, and yes it was about Trump. When I finally heard the speakers I understood; I heard the passion, the worry, the strength, the empowerment, the conviction and I finally understood why they were there and I was happy that I was there too. I listened to the injustice, the highlighted concerns for me was hearing how he has already removed gay rights and climate change from the White house website which angered me and made me want to listen further, to find out what I could do to help.

I FELT THEIR OUTCRY AND WANTED TO BE A PART OF A CHANGE. THE IGNITION HAD TAKEN PLACE IN ME, I UNDERSTOOD THEIR FIRE.

So… the day was to define feminism in the face of a bigot with a bad fake tan and dodgy hair, also now known as Mr President. It was a day was for women, for men who support women, but still even with a turnout of 100,000 people some still are eluded to what ‘feminism’ truly means. I left the rally and walked to the nearest underground station and I heard two men talk.

‘It’s usually not this busy, but I think there is a lesbian march going on or something…’

LESBIAN (eyes roll)

It always strikes me as strange that something that means so much to one will have no regard to another, we only seem to care about our own life but if we took the time to look out for each other it would be a step in the right direction for us all. If we brought compassion and consideration to the top of our lists then maybe marches like this wouldn’t even need to be walked.

That should be the only ‘Right’ that we need.

I am glad I was there to witness the day, the behaviour of so many and how it has affected me.

Here’s to change.
