https://kolektiva.social/@Kyler Kyler @Kyler@kolektiva.social Not being or becoming, but embodying the remainder. This a a paraphrase of a quote from Lee Edelman's No Future (pg 24-25): Thus, queerness could never constitute an authentic or substantive identity, but only a structural position determined by the imperative of figuration; for the gap, the non coincidence, that the order of the signifier installs both informs and inhabits queerness as it inhabits reproductive futurism. But it does so with a difference. Where futurism always anticipates, in the image of an Imaginary past, a realization of meaning that will suture identity by closing that gap, queerness undoes the identities through which we experience ourselves as subjects, insisting on the Real of a jouissance that social reality and the futurism on which it relies have already foreclosed. Queerness, therefore, is never a matter of being or becoming but, rather, of embodying the remainder of the Real internal to the Symbolic order. One name for this unnameable remainder, as Lacan describes it, is jouissance, sometimes translated as “enjoyment”: a movement beyond the pleasure principle, beyond the distinctions of pleasure and pain, a violent passage beyond the bounds of identity, meaning, and law. the only hint i have for the hands banner is that the original unedited image, which is just a normal black and white manga panel, is titled 23523. i have another edited version up on https://anilist.co/user/DrearyWillow pfp is Tōka Takanashi from Love, Chunibyo & Other delusions with sparkles and a collar n shit
