nimona

[kossai]

kossai struggle with movies and TV , and not always sure why . but tonight mood strike , and finally sit down to watch ... nimona .
remember when people would talk about how celeste destroy emotions and leave in teary wreck , but kossai did not get that . wonderful game , but in some ways just did not click with madeline's problems like others did .

nimona though ... do kossai recognise that in stories like rusted moss and nimona , nonhumanity intend as allegory ? yes . but just by nature of kossai as physical nonhuman , those aspects feel very literal , and speak to core on that level .

absolute wreck now . need crossover hangout sesh with nimona and fern , stat .

Yes ...

Nimona was the first character who really seemed like me. I don't have the depression over not being liked, but other than that we have a LOT in common. The shapeshifting, the gendershifting, the monkeywrench activism...

hehehe . yeah , that internal conflict is very raw and relatable to kossai - do not need for everyone to like , but would prefer if did not feel like so many people viscerally hate , especially for intrinsic reasons which can not change and frankly would not change even if hypothetically could . exist as faerie , will continue to exist as faerie , and deserve for people to not degrade for that - and part of solution is to question and chip away at systems that hurt so many people for so long .

Would be nice.

>> especially for intrinsic reasons which can not change and frankly would not change even if hypothetically could <<

I learned very early in this life that many people would hate me for many different reasons, most of which had nothing to do with me. I concluded that they were prejudiced assholes that I didn't want to be around. And the other bits? I refuse to change myself for the sake of people I neither like, respect, nor admire.

>> exist as faerie , will continue to exist as faerie , and deserve for people to not degrade for that <<

Sooth. And I'm glad that you do.

We went to a fairy market a few days ago. I think you would've enjoyed it. First place I've been in years with a preponderance of freaks -- I think at least a third of the audience were nonhumans, might've been more.

We do that just by existing, plus whatever more active methods we choose. Me, I like to write about alternatives that people could be enjoying. Sometimes they take bits of ideas and put them into practice.
