Note: This is a co-written journal with @Nace Bilby -- originally meant to be a post for a Halloween Party RP. It takes place several months after the Rio Carnival, when the two characters are in a more steady relationship.

Nace Bilby had no idea his jaw was figuratively about to hit...
Was just thinking, when someone says think outside the box....why does it have to be a box? Why can't it be anything you want? Like a closet? Or a door? Hehe
Why did we decide creativity requires escaping from something? Why do so many of our metaphors for creativity imply that ordinary thinking is a restriction?
It's because it hinges on the idea that everyone wants to be ordinary (aka "normal") and that being anything other should be punishable socially. It stems from imperial modes of thinking that harm people not white-cis-straight-abled-perisex-etc because the idea of normal is centred on "some guy"-isms
