🌌 The Twinkling Graves 🌌

The source of light setting over the top half of the floating island, only to rise over the bottom half. Two separate, but beautiful ecosystems. The sky lit up purple by a distant planet, turning the entire land around purple as well. Everybody living there treats it as if it were sunlight - as if it weren't the most beautiful thing ever to other eyes.

The Cluster of Rest - an entire continent/planet sized area devoted to sleep, rest and recovery, as well as holding the Graves' own Graveyard, and Queen of Death. The capital city, Insomne, celebrates death by dancing the bodies of the deceased through the streets, letting the bodies themselves lie in their graves. Those graves are open graves, allowing the bodies to cultivate crops.

A sack cloth man, with button eyes and a stitched mouth, his belly prominent over his pants and under his night shirt and long nightcap, known by some as Father Midnight. Highduke of the Cluster of Rest, he handles the sleep aspect.He bleeds golden sand, and dreams.

A fey prince who wears pauldroned pink robes, a swirling, crystalline mask and a black under suit, a master of druidic magic, who seeks only to protect a legacy he does not understand. Chantac, the Mournful Heir, sits in a lonely throne, awaiting the truth.

A city built on floating adamantine cubes, run by dwarves and gnomes, technology flourishing with artificers, the cubes never hitting one another, infrastructure built on the switching of gravity.

An entire Cluster devoted to entertainment, bards, dancers, magicians, parties, plays, balls.. all of it. Vegas-style arcana, with beauty in every street.

A Cluster that trains druids and rangers to combat or control insects to prevent the crops being destroyed, as nothing in the Twinkling Graves ages beyond peak maturity. Immortals, all, even the bugs. Even the plants, and people.

Two dead gods, holding each other in a final embrace, the fate that met them millenia upon millenia ago lost to time, palaces built on their bodies and light from their loving forms shining upon the orbiting clusters. After all, the Twinkling Graves has that name for a reason.

"art is about Love--" maybe take a look at some art that explores the deep cruelty and violence of the human condition, feel your soul shudder in your chest, and develop a greater appreciation for the vast world we live in

L + ratio + you are arrogant enough to presume that every single piece of art made across the eons must adhere to your narrow and self-centered view of what it should be

#as a writer#my art is between love and pain#the love of heroes towards the world they wish to save#the pain of knowing that one day it will be destroyed#and the knowledge that even if it will#it's still worth saving#because love deserves to blossom all the way until the end#and pain is just another path to love#the monsters who want to hurt the world will never win#because they don't see that the world deserves the love they're taking away

there is no medical component to a trans kid transitioning

if a little trans boy comes out to his parents & is like 4 all youd do for his transition is cut his hair, buy a new wardrobe, & switch pronouns & possibly change names

no one is gonna put a little 4 year old on testosterone OR puberty blockers until theyre actually about to start puberty & then they give them a few years to really decide if they want to start hormones

a trans kid existing isnt “child abuse.” child abuse is refusing to let your kid live their lives as they truly are & forcing them to present as a gender they arent

radfems who interact with this post will be blocked & your argument will not be read or even considered. i do not care about the opinion of a transphobe & my original post still stands.

a few years ago a kid in my preschool class transitioned socially and the only consequence was that as soon as her best friend discovered that changing your name is allowed she wanted to change hers to Detective

So stay with me here, but fun ballet fact: part of the reason you’re supposed to start ballet young is so you stretch and hold your joint in certain ways regularly enough that your body grows different. You know how men who do ballet look only sort of muscular but then like lift a whole ass person? Their muscles are trained to lie flat like that for flexibility, they don’t bulk up. Girl in your class who always stands in turnout? It’s likely not just habit, her joints probably sit like that now.

I started ballet when I was six and stopped after three years. I then took a break for three years, and came back and did jazz ballet (which has most of the same body mods but without turnout) and tap for another couple of years. And every physio who works on my body looks at my feet, hips and calves and goes “oh you danced”. I was never even flexible enough to do the splits, but you best believe I stand in turnout. I never went en pointe, but I’m 95% sure tap is the reason my feet have random spasms if I don’t take to them with a tennis ball once a week.

When I said I wanted to be a dancer at six years old, adults took that to mean I’d want certain permanent alterations to my body. Unlike with young trans kids, no one was looking to make sure I fully understood what I was getting into. And unlike with young trans kids, these changes were not reversible when I changed my mind. There wasn’t even a way to delay things to buy time (like puberty blockers), it was all or nothing. If I wanted to be a professional dancer, my normal ass joints were a ticking timebomb.

So like ~cis opinion~, but I really don’t have a lot of time for people getting feral about trans kids socially transitioning or going on blockers or even (when they’re old enough for it be relevant) hrt. Me “identifying” as a dancer at six years old was more physically impactful and less informed than if a six year old changed their name and grew their hair, but you don’t see any of the adults in my life getting accused of child abuse.
