Week 7 Story: Queer Worlds

         This story is now on my portfolio


      Once upon a time, there were two drag queens who were named Izanagi and Izanami. These queens longed to create a world that they could live in. They decided that they would build a staircase that would allow them to travel to the worlds from the drag queen spirit realm. Now the queens were so bored as they had no one to entertain, so they created a substance for them to produce great things from. This substance was a glittery rainbow-colored foam that they would use to create a wide array of queer things. The two queens came down the large glitter staircase that they had made and began their creation of the worlds. “Hunty this world is such a drag! Why don’t we create another queen?” one of the queens said. “Don’t you start telling me what to do you, dirty queen! We will create them, but we have to create a place for them to become creative in their drag.” The other replied.  So the queens created a land that was made of glitter and rainbows that would harbor creativity for the queens that would be created. “We should create a world for those who fit into the category of dirty sex. A world that while there their wildest fantasies would become a reality.” Izanagi said. “Yaaaaaassss queen. That world would be perfect of course we would have to create the idea in their heads of consent.” Izanami replied. So the queens made a world for BDSM and Leather with a bridge that was half rainbow and glitter and half red and black leather.
          The bridge allowed for safe travel between the worlds so that the queens could entertain both groups. The time finally came for them to create the people who would inhabit these worlds. The queens created many different people and created them based upon type. All the gays who fit into the categories of the glitter realm were created, and some were curious about the realm made of leather and wanted to experiment with it. So the Queens showed these individuals the bridge between the two worlds and likewise the same came from the gays who fit into the world of leather. The worlds continued to live in harmony for many years, and the drag queens couldn’t be prouder of their created world. So the queens would come down from the drag queen spirit realm and would entertain all the queer people they created. The queer people fell in love with each other, and they all lived happily ever after.

Authors note: I began by looking at how the worlds were created and looked at the gender roles of the story. The worlds were made of a foam which had no other description which led me to be able to get creative about the color and description of the foam. I also pulled from the queer culture which was difficult at first to write about because I had to avoid all talk of explicit sexual fantasy, especially when writing about the taboo subject of BDSM. I also wanted to show unity between the worlds and by creating the staircase and the bridge this was accomplished. The staircase was also in the original story I read. I made the stairs my own by making it rainbow and glitter color. This story was enjoyable for me to create and I will continue to make more queer content in the future, but I figured why not do a fun story with drag queens
