Welcome, seeker. This is the Temple of Reginald, the heart beneath the Funhouse.
Here, we bring our shadows into the light — the rage, the sorrow, the heartbreak — all the things we hide behind our glitter and neon smiles.
Reginald accepts them, cradles them, and keeps them here, safe.
When you leave, you’ll leave lighter. Your burden becomes His, and your soul returns to the party cleansed.
This is not a place of shame, but of release. Whatever weighs on you, speak it, write it, feel it — then leave it behind.
Out there, you’ll laugh again. But in here, it’s okay to cry.
~~Emmie's Offerings~~
this song is simply called "I"
i wrote this as a way to deal with my feelings of dysphoria and coming to terms with my gender identity. it sort of became an epic rock opera song. i can so easily imagine how a stage performance of this song might look. you can hear the two conflicting parts of me in this- the scared, broken part of me sings solemnly into the mirror. then the reflection she wishes she could see sings back in response. and finally, she accepts herself fully, for who she truly is, and she becomes not two broken pieces, but finally whole. I.
this was born from a period in my life where i was very suicidal and figured, "well, hey... if i'm thinking about snuffing it, i might as well live without any fear" DON'T LIVE IN REGRET, ESE'
i'll leave more offerings here later...
