featured above is chloe misseldine, prima ballerina of american ballet theatre, as odile in ‘swan lake’.
the thirty-two fouettés in swan lake, and the embodiment of odette and odile as a whole are considered a stepping stone into a ballerina’s career as a prima. a debut is ultimately a test, a deciding factor in whether a company decides to promote a dancer or leave her alone. the fouettés of odile are difficult, requiring much strength, stamina, and training, performed during the coda after a lengthy pas de deux and variation. the legendary pierina legnani was the first ballerina to accomplish this feat in 1895, the fouettés being added just for her by choreographer marius petipa.
misseldine is the most recent ballerina to join the ranks of principal in the company: her promotion was on july 3rd, 2024, after her performance of odette/odile at the metropolitan opera house in manhattan, new york.

My trauma is not something for you to use to get internet points.
My trauma is not for you to tell me if it did or did not happen.
My trauma and my memories are not for you to tell me if it’s a delusion or not.
My trauma and survival does not give you a right to categorize my morality as wrong or right.
My survival gives you no right to judge me or demonize me because of what I had to do to live.
My trauma does not give you any right to tell me that I’m “wrong” and that it “doesn’t exist.”
I do not owe you my trauma. I do not owe you my memories.
I know my experiences and my experiences give you no right to deny them.
You have no right to tell me that I need to be quiet and let others speak when you won’t even hear my voice.
Just because you have a voice does not give you a right to silence me when I and others are clawing to be heard and believed.
What will you do if your children go through the same? If someone close to you has children will go through the same? Will you tell them that it isn’t true? That it isn’t real? That they’re making it up? That you just think it’s some conspiracy theory? Will you tell them that?
Or is it because you’re hidden online that you feel you can get away with telling traumatized individuals that what they experienced doesn’t exist?
So many systems are fighting for their voices to be heard and they’re being silenced.
There’s so limited communities because the amount of people that get attacked and harassed for even trying to make a safe place for those people. Some of the people that have those spaces can’t even keep up with them with so much going on.
We shouldn’t be telling traumatized individuals what we think was and wasn’t real regarding their trauma. That’s so messed up. We should be banding together to make a space for everyone to be able to go to, not use others trauma as a weapon against people.

Idk if anyone would remember me but I used to run a decently large mogai/ queer centric discord server called Cringe Culture Reclaimed. I think I went by the name Crim or Crimson if that sparks anyone's memory.
I'm just making this post to come clean about my sudden disappearance (ik I shoulda made this post ages ago shhhhh) and update people on where I am now with queer stuff and stances and all that.
I started to grow tired of modding CCR and became less and less active since I felt kind of excluded from the community I had made, as my opinions were rapidly changing and I was becoming more and more proship, pro para and pro transid, and feeling forced to ban anyone who was a big 3 paraphile, proship or used any sort of transid label just to keep the community happy.
I'm not blaming anyone in particular, but once you have a big community, you can't just change your opinion on something and expect everyone to go along with it and support it without backlash.
But yeah to update ppl on where I'm at now with my identity and stances and all that, I just ID as queer as in weird to encompass all aspects of my identity. I've also come to the realisation that I'm profiction and a paraphile (anti contact), which I had suppressed since I had been surrounded by antis and felt I wasn't allowed to think for myself. The paraphile part may tie into my queer identity. And well, I just think if someone labels themselves queer, then they're queer. So simply being weird or having a strange non-normative identity can be queer. Including objectum, fictophilia and any other kind of attraction or paraphilia. Including feeling queer about your age, species or anything else. Basically I've become more radqueer aligned, however I am still critical of some aspects of the community. I have my reasons for my beliefs but I don't want to make this post longer than it already is or go off topic, but feel free to ask me abt them
I know this is gonna make some people mad, but I just wanted to be open about where I am now. Post is written poorly but I can't be assed proof reading it at 1:30am lol
