Aof writes and directs modern queer fairytales.

"Fairy tales in childhood are stepping stones throughout life, leading the way through trouble and trial. The value of fairy tales lies not in a brief literary escape from reality, but in the gift of hope that goodness truly is more powerful than evil and that even the darkest reality can lead to a Happily Ever After. Do not take that gift of hope lightly. It has the power to conquer despair in the midst of sorrow, to light the darkness in the valleys of life, to whisper “One more time” in the face of failure. Hope is what gives life to dreams, making the fairy tale the reality." -- L.R. Knost

Sometimes I wish my life was directed by Aof noppharnach..so that I can still believe in humanity, the safety of a community, a found family where I don't lose myself for who I am and whatever that is limiting me. He will take me as a whole and fill the voids that are hidden from outside. He will give me some kind hearted people who will encourage me to be better, to do better, to believe in the world. He might make it angsty, but never dark. He will make sure I know that I'm in the middle of a tunnel and is walking towards the light along with others. He will make sure I know that even if I stumble, or fall I have hands that support me. People that I can fall back into, pour my heart out and move forward. A group of people who make mistakes, address it, apologise for it and correct themselves. They will show me that I'm not alone, they are my co-passengers. We are in it together.

He may make me walk through the cold to reach uphill but I won't complain because my heart will be warm to see the anticipated light he promised me. Knowing he won't break the promise. Even if he does, I will be fine.

I want that optimism. That care. The love. The strength.

A space where I'm not judged for my mistakes and limited because of my past. A space that I can call mine. A Home.

#aof noppharnach #and there's actually references to fairytales throughout #wen leaves his badge at Uncle Jim's place like Cinderella leaves her slipper #Phupa is a closed off prowling beast and Tian is a beauty longing for something more in her life #Med is a voiceless creature condemned and restricted by his patriarch like the little mermaid #that's just off the top of my head #Aof knows what he's doing and he does it with so much skill and generosity of spirit
