FEMALE HEAD, LIGHT REFERENCE TOOL, William Nguyen

After the success of the first one, I decided to create another version of the lighting tool. So this is the Female simplified head version.

"Midnight" is one of my favourite episodes!!

thinking about the disney princess debate again and it’s kind of messing me up because i’m thinking. cinderella is wish fulfillment for every abused person. cinderella is being hopeful about your situation by thinking ‘what if there was this girl who was just like me and was trying her best but nobody cared and even took advantage of her trying her best and mistreated her because they could. what if someone helped her get out, what if someone saw her and noticed her and fell in love with her, someone who wouldn’t mistreat her and would show her the kindness everyone deserves, what if she could get out of her abusive home without being haunted or harassed the rest of her life over it.’ it’s a happy ending most people don’t get. it’s imagining that everything goes right, that everything goes the way it should be. i don’t call this a coping mechanism, i call this a glory, i call this a testament to the strength and goodness in people that when they suffer cruelty they make up a story where that doesn’t happen and people are good. it’s not demeaning. it’s empowering.

I'm genuinely curious

I had this idea because I realized I definitely had a year where everything bad seemed to happen and I'd call it my worst, but I don't know if other people have years like this.
