This got pretty long, so I’ll insert the rest beneath the cut!
“I’ve grown up seeing the pros and cons but I love it and I’ve always wanted to act. Throughout all the rejections at auditions, and especially when I finally did get something, both my parents have been so supportive and always told me it is all about passion and, if I was doing it because I love it, there’s no wrong choice.”
“let it go, let it go!”
There are a hundred million things wrong with this but it’s 108 layers and it took around fourteen hours so I’m a little bit beyond caring. Sexswapped Elsa, obviously. Took a hell of a lot of reference from the actual ‘Let it Go’ sequence, and was inspired by this cover of the song.
i finally came to the conclusion that hair, for me, was a symbol of strength. It was a symbol of commitment to my power. of connection to my ancestry. of recognizing my natural beauty. that which exists without chemical dyes, or hairspray, or scissors. a symbol of my sovereignty. of my humble desire to feel grounded within my own skin.
