It Was Worth A Wound—it Was Worth Many Wounds—to Know The Depth Of Loyalty And Love Which Lay Behind

The other Sisters are made from me, in part. As they grow up in Rapture, I feel it all. When you were with the little ones, they trusted you as their Father, because of me.

“You know how long it took me to save that money?” “Exactly! Which is why a little woman of your background would have had her hands full, trying to run a big business like that. No, you’re better off where you’re at.”

What Tiana has taught me, quite sadly (and probably what Disney didn’t really intend) was that hard work wasn’t good enough to overcome systemic racism. Tiana got a feel good ending, but I feel like her story has been told many times in real life without a happy ending. There are people who work extremely hard, but never being able to catch up due to the color of their skin.

So here is Tiana, muscles tense with labor, tired and contemplative, and struggling against the system that prevents her success.

This is probably the most symbolic of all the Disney paintings I’ve done so far - the verticality of the walls, the position of her shadow looming over the segregation signs, Tiana sitting right between the divide, and the nearly imperceptible lean of her body to the right.

Tiana is the ninth in my Disney Woman Series.

Dan: I like your new pants!

Phil: Oh, uh, thanks! They were 50% off

Dan: I’d like them better if they were 100% off

Phil: The store can’t just give away clothes for free

Dan: No, that’s not what I meant-

Phil: That’s a terrible way to run a business, Dan!

So rare and beautiful pairing ❤

Afterwards when Stiles was asleep in sheets still damp with sweat, Scott carefully brushed the hair from the other man’s face and traced the swell of his lips with one finger. There was always something similar about Stiles no matter what shape he took. The way he held himself, the stupid sense of humor, the hard edges and darkness inside of him even when he could be gentle. It was the way his lips would quirk when he was thinking, the restlessness in his hands, and how he could make Scott feel human again more than anyone else could. 

Scott loved him already, or maybe loved him still. Always.
