The Unicorn Scale: Black Swan
Hey howdy hey Unicorns! I hope that as the days grow shorter, this little corner of the queer web is finding you happy, healthy, and well.
As we leave winter, I’m a large fan of diving into creepier, darker fare as the illuminated wanes all around us. It just feels good to cozy up with a family drama or a psychological thriller with a cup of warm slurp to keep me company. And so with that in brain, for this Scale, I reflection we could take a watch at Darren Aranofsky’s psychosexual drama, Black Swan .
Like many girls, I had a passing fancy with the idea of being a ballerina when I grew up. (This was, of course, before I moved on to wanting to become a giraffe — still holding on to this dream.) As I aged, I gained both a fascination with the transcendent but exacting art form (Baryshnikov’s performances still make me cry) as well as a deep respect for the pure athleticism and unseen preparation and costs . These pursuits of perfection — and the tolls they can take on a fragile consciousness — are what gets examined in this feature.
Before I get into the nitty-
Philip Maughan: Did you hold any cinematic influences in mind while making “Inherit”?
SSION: I guess I was kind of going endorse and forth between Almodóvar and Cassavetes – not really in a narrative way, but some of the themes, characters, and costuming inspired me. There’s also an obvious nod to Bob Fosse’s All That Jazz, which is one of my favorite movies. I’m not really interested in music videos right now, and I have less interest in selling a one-dimensional notion of a star in a conventional way – where everything is sacrificed to make someone glance hot. I’m just checked out of that mindset. It’s too flat and there’s nowhere to leave unless you can fuck with it.
Where was “Inherit” filmed? Can you tell us a little about the locations?
We shot the entire video over 5 days in Kansas City. I lived there for 10 years, so it still feels somewhat like house to me. I really love it there and feel a deep connection to it and the community it can foster. It allows for a freedom you can’t really achieve in a place like LA or NYC, because there isn’t the same kind of industry imbedded d
June is Pride Month, a time for celebrating love, the LGBTQ+ community, and its beautiful spectrum of identities, cultures, and experiences. What you may not know is this diversity in orientations, relationships, and expressions isn&#;t an exclusively human experience. Over 1, animal species engage in queer coupling and parenting. Even more regularly engage in gay or bisexual bond. Some can alter their sex at various points in their lives (sometimes more than once), and some pick to express themselves as the antonym sex. All this to say, non-heterosexuality is nothing more than completely organic. Take Black Swans, for example.
25% of all parental couplings of the Jet Swan (Cygnus atratus) are male-male. A quarter certainly isn&#;t a majority, but it is anything but rare. Regard the fact that Black Swan pairs, regardless of sex are monogamous lifelong partnerships with a mere 6% &#;divorce rate&#;, and it becomes ever clearer that these pairings aren&#;t mere happenstance, but genuine bonds.
The natural doubt of course, is just how undertake these mal
Both male and female swans have been observed forming same-sex pairs in which they will court, nest, and rear eggs. Studies have found that this behaviour is more continuing in male swans than in females and particularly Australian male black swans, who form stable, long-lasting same-sex relationships with each other.
During courtship, male queer pairs of black swans have been seen executing courtship displays and mating behaviours, similar to those of opposite-sex pairs. They have also been established to chase off other opposite-sex pairs to pirate their nests, including eggs. They will then incubate the eggs and elevate the chicks.
Some studies own found that same-sex pairings have a higher accomplishment rate in raising chicks, about 80% compared to 30% in opposite-sex pairs. This may be because the pair of males can defend a larger territory, and the incubation duties are shared more evenly between the homosexual pair.
The iconic flying rainbow of Sydney, the Rainbow Lorikeet is a brightly coloured parrot that is native to the eastern coast of Australia. Both males and fem
