I recently just finished watching the colour purple, a movie centred in Georgia as a social commentary of normalcy on life.

Well as normal as a day in the life of an Atlanta pedestrian can be, juxtapoxistion, maybe, take that as you will.

When I say “life” I mean, race, gender, and environment, the subjective jelly inside of our donut which dictates our flavour.

I’m kinda like popmerknickle

There’s an idea that the “jelly” of life is separate from the donut, and that’s so fatal to the causation of real trauma people experience everyday. You can’t define your life’s experience with a thesaurus no matter how hard you try to in your tinder profile. In the same way this thiny veiled film of outwards perception doesn't begin to summarise the joy of taste that is you.

The sanctity of your flavour must be kept sacred babe.

However, we still try to define life’s experiences, under hegemony right. This is where we get theory from, this is where we get nuanced subjective experience in the framework. Metaphorically speaking, the social relations you make in your day to day life, the act of caring for yourself or others, the complacency of normalcy you partake in whatever way defines your act of “life”.

It’s important to ask what our sense of “normalcy” within community contributes to. I’m under the impression that we’re all flowers, one of my friends is a tulips that sparkles blue, one of my friends is a dazzling yellow chrisanthemum, I’m a cactus.

The way we water each other and ourselves changes because we’re not all the same flower, we have different needs, different ways of watering each other situated around those needs, my photosynthesissss, needs a cuddle night sometimes and that’s okay.

And although our inter-communal interactions can be beautiful, ignoring the reality of how they came to be is a disservice to the love given to me. If I did that I’d only be watching myself grasp in failure and agony at a sliver of an aesthetic of love I’m comprehending on their surface.

I’ve been thinking a lot about trauma and what that means towards community, because we’re so much more than just the good moments of our lives right, we’re also the horrible, the beaten metaphorically or even literally generation who are coming to an age of adulthood. With that maturity comes the ability to form your own reality. As someone who’s had a shonen father and yandere mother who lusts for my downfall. The sanctity of chosen relationships has never been this cemented in my life. Afterall we don’t choose our circumstances, we’re born into them.

"I think us here to wonder, myself. To wonder. To ask. And that in wondering bout the big things and asking bout the big things, you learn about the little ones, almost by accident. But you never know nothing more about the big things than you start out with. The more I wonder, he say, the more I love."

~ Alice Walker in The Colour Purple.

Round 2, Bracket 5

Propaganda under the cut, feel free to add more in comments or reblogs (Trigger warning for the colour purple, non-con things mentioned)

The Prince and The Dressmaker – Prince Sebastian’s parents are looking for an eligible bride for their son, when this is the furthest thing from what Sebastian wants. During the day he plays the part of a diligent, loving and somewhat bored prince for his parents and people, but in the night he is Lady Crystallia, the height of fashion. Only two people know his secret, his secret that makes him feel so confident in his body.

The Colour Purple – This novel depicts the life of African American women in the 1900s in rural Georgia. Celie and Nettie are sisters who were separated at a young age and are unable to see each other for multiple decades. (TRIGGER WARNING FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT AND NON CONSENTUAL BODY CHANGES) Celie writes in the book about how her “father” sleeps with her and touches her, same with Nettie. Tashi undergoes “surgery” which mutilates her genitalia. Celie is also abused by her father, husband and step-children. The Colour Purple has very heavy topics around WOC struggles in the early 20th century.
