This Is Has Peak GoLisa Energy.

I don't usually get personal on here, or discuss discourse or anything like it, but I find so hard, as poc to simply enjoy media featuring characters that are also poc without everyone, including fellow poc, and their mother ripping it apart because it's not absolutely perfect. Can't we have fun fantasy, action adventure featuring people of color without having be bogged down by constant themes of racism, slavery, microaggression, historical accuracy, and enjoy media by poc without having to bitch and moan, tear down because it's not equivalent to freaking Shakespeare.

Y'know guys we can have fun with are media too.

"Milk"

Summary: Milk is a symbol of fertility, once thought of as the food of the gods and a nurturer, the lifeblood and lifeline that connects mother to child. And child to mother.

Chapter One: The First Nights

Canon-Divergence/Canon-Complaint/Post-Canon/Non-linear Narrative

Reality is stranger than fiction, they say, and he was inclined to agree. Life was indeed filled with one oddity after another.

He remembers a story from his youth.

A story, that was ancient he was told, passed from the old to young about a Clan Leader of their own who had taken a human as a mate.

They had a child-who they called, the meaning of an end in the old language. Someone who should never have been-

An abomination-

The child was cursed. And because of it, she cursed the land. Cursed her clan that lamented her existence, cursed the humans who condemned her, and cursed her parents who had birthed her into a world that knew only hate and fear.

They called her- Hillevi.

Goliath never took the story seriously; he knew the ploy by then. The line drawn in the sand, humans stayed on one side and they stayed on the other, they were never supposed to cross it.

Well, he had never been one for superstitions.

Through The Looking Glass by CinsAngel

Storyboarding the opening sequence of Gargoyles for a class assignment! I watched the sequence a couple of times and wrote down the beats before jumping in. I stopped at 40 sec though, but I might come back and do the rest of the sequence if I have time. Alas, back to my grad project/portfolio!

- There’s so much water. It looks like a sea. 

- What’d you expect after all that rain? I’ve gotta get out of this place. Someday I’m getting on that train.

He does not know what I lack or how I am incomplete. He sees me for what I am, as I am.
