#muremzaMargot #muremzastopbzdurom And we reached the final amv for this project. I assume you want to know what was this all about, so open the rest of the description box and let me tell you a story. I'm gonna delete all hateful/homophobic comments, no questions asked. Consider yourself warned. A week ago (09/08/2020) there were protests for Margot, a non-binary person who was taken by the police to spend 2 months in jail for hanging pride flags on monuments and statues in Warsaw. A lot of people was angered at this and went to protest, because Margot's arrest was preceded by months and months of constant dehumanization of LGBTQIA+ people in Poland (for example there are trucks driving around Poland that are painted with anti-LGBT agenda coming from the speakers and false information about homosexual people, claiming that they are ped*ph*les. The trucks belongs to far-right organisation Pro-Prawo do życia and were delegalized by the court back in 2019. Despite this these trucks are still driving around polish cities, now often accompanied by police force). I couldn't take part in protest in my city, so this set of little colorful edits is my contribution to the case. Update: Yesterday three people were attacked - one gay couple for holding hands in public and one girl for having two paper pride flags in her backpack. On 13/08 there was a spontaneus action to stop the homofobic truck in which several people got hurt when the police came into acton. Please, stay safe everyone. A little bit of history regarding my feelings, colors, songs used in the project and stuff, you don't have to read it if you don't want to. Picking colors and characters responding to them was easy. I had more difficult time picking the right songs, so I'd like to talk about it for a minute. For Robin I picked Down by Nevertel mainly because it reminded me of how I felt when I was an early teenager, still discovering and learning who I am. I grew up in a very conservative home, so I didn't have anyone to talk to about my non-traditional feelings for other people. I didn't feel good with myself because of the things my parents said about homosexuals at the time - that they are not humans, they are degenerates that prey on children etc. I think this song is very fitting for Robin, but in a different context - he prefers to hide some things from others and sometimes he takes extreme measures when he's in despair. Starfire got Best I Can by Art Of Dying. I wanted it to be the one with cheerful melody and a deeper meaning hidden in lyrics. Star is an alien - sometimes she doesn't quite understand what others mean or others don't understand her way of thinking. This song has a little bit of hope in it - you're not alone, no matter what. I had my beloved friend during my teenage years and I'm still friends with her to this day (hi, Jester! :D) who I can talk to abut everything. There are also so many lgbt+ communities on the internet - it's easier to find someone who understand you these days. Terra with Fugitive by Halflives is a little bit personal for me and involves really hard topics that I don't think I'm ready to talk about with anyone yet. I don't have to explain how the lyrics relates to Terra, it's obvious. Kwiat Jabłoni - Dziś późno pójdę spać (Beast Boy) is a polish accent in this project. I hope you weren't too confused by my poor translatory skills :). It describes what I felt a week ago - I was scared of the world and the country I live in. I dream of the world in which I won't be afraid to fall asleep. TBH I'm not quite sure why I picked BB for this one - it just fits for some reason. All eyes on you (Cyborg) is also quite personal - it has to do with how I was raised as a competetive little know-all lady. I had to be better then kids at school, better than everyone else. I was constantly compared to everyone else by my parents. As long as I provided good results, I had some value. As you can image, being non-hetero was definitely a minus infinite points to Gryffindor. Ironically, it's also the one edit I'm not proud of. Oh well. And the last one - our beloved goth girl. It was the first edit I made for this series, when I didn't even know that it will be a series, oops :). This song (Demons and angels) is quite literal for Rae and it reflects my teenage feelings really well. When you grow up in a conservative home, your mind tends to battle with itself. When you hear from all the people around you that bi people are evil/unfaithful/can't decide and the only answer is God, you tend to wonder if you'e the devil. And then one day you may also discover that being the black sheep you want to be is more valuable than being an anxious angel.
