Thinking about my Tief, Rashna who was stuck in Stygia for a few centuries and can't ever get warmer than ice now giving Karlach a hug after they've both had a long day and need a break.
I am influenced by rich childhood experiences in East Africa. In adulthood, I am further inspired by my surroundings, people, places, behaviour and emotion.
My art is a representation of my perception of life—dynamic, complex and yet simple. Vibrant colours are the main substance of my art works. Construct/deconstruct is my process.
My paintings have been featured in 4 Saatchi catalogues,…
Did you make me a buffer? I'll get the key, give it to me. I want to see then leave.
I hate that my distinct hand gesture nowadays is similar to that Cherry.
Did you think that telling me who you are with... It didn't help. Why bombard me with stories about who you with? You didn't say it? Who did aside from cherry? Kuya Mon? Arjun?
The only truth is the one that Rashna announced? If it's also a lie you're with someone new?
Just let me see, so I can move on.
Let me mourn for something that I always cover, brush off or runaway from. Something that I always keep at the middle of my throat.
Kindly remove the anger, let me mourn then I'll move on.
“The child is the repository of myths, the embodiment of narratives of time and place, the persona, the guise, and the pretext ... Children’s literature can simply reflect prevailing ideologies or it can become an instrument for their implementation, an agent of institutional power in itself.”

“I have heard the men wondering about your resolve. Your decision to release the sails, to nearly capsize the ship for the channel… It worries them.”
“It was nothing different than what you were planning on doing.” Val’s eyes were focused clearly on Keant, but her brows were furrowed together.
Keant leaned forward after the doctor had finished wrapping his head. He clasped his hands together. “I am their captain. They will follow me to their deaths. You? You are as unnatural to them as the sea was today.”
“The waves today are fierce, but they are natural. I am the same.”
first impression: i rlly liked your blog for a long time and the first message you sent me had a keysmash so i was immediately comforted by the presence of a fellow gay fsjgdfg idk you seemed very welcoming and funny to me! its still very true but now i know youre also v smart and a good listener and the list goes on
truth is: i dont really know that much about you but at the same time its super easy for me to tell you anything
how old do you look: from what i know youre pretty short so in real life you might look younger but from what pictures ive seen you look like youre between 16 and 19 (thats such a bs range sfjghk im bad at this kinda thing sorry)
have you ever made me laugh: of course!!
have you ever made me mad: youre maybe the most valid person i know and youve never even given me a single reason to be angry
best feature: i think you have such gorgeous eyes and eyebrows! also the shape of your face and your hair are vvvv pretty. overall your whole face: 11/10 angelic kdfhj
have i ever had a crush on you: nah but im full of platonic love
I should learn to draw just so I can make art of grandpa Rashna giving everyone's blorbos and brainrots hugs. I don't think enough OC's have been hugged recently and I feel the need to do something about it.
When you get this you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly. Then, send this ask to 10 of your favourite followers (Non-negotiable, positivity is cool!)

Singh, Rashna B. Goodly is our Heritage (The Scarecrow Press, 2004)
I’m reading this to find information and background for an essay about colonialist identity in children’s literature - this book provides context for how colonialist ideology still inhabits children’s literature today.
Kipling, Rudyard The Gate of the Hundred Sorrows (Penguin Classics, 2015)
Same essay as above - one of the text’s I’m looking at is Kipling’s Kim and I think this very short book will be helpful context there.
Wilchins, Riki Queer Theory, Gender Theory: An instant primer (Alyson Books, 2004)
Different topic! I’m also looking into retellings of fairy tales with specific, overt ideological messages, and I needed more context on what queer theory actually is, beyond just ‘queering a text’. This was recommended from Barry’s Beginning Theory, and I’m finding it very helpful so far.
