this is a shitpost funni and its good
but it also got me thinking about the concept of kintsugi as a human experience and i like it a lot. life leaves us broken and scarred but we put ourselves back together, the visible cracks lined with gold, not detracting to our beauty or value but adding to it, telling our history, the ways we've changed, survived, grown.
"Kintsugi is the general concept of highlighting or emphasizing imperfections, visualizing mends and seams as an additive or an area to celebrate or focus on, rather than absence or missing pieces. "
It makes me think about all the wonderful transmasc fursonas I see with top surgery scars proudly on display as a celebration of trans joy, stuff like that
hell my own face irl has some pretty nasty scars on my nose and stuff and it took me a long time to accept them and internalize them as a sign of the ways i've grown and survived rather than something to be ashamed of. its nice to recontextualize that way
iuno im no scholar thinker type im just a dumm fishy but there's somethin there
