At the heart of Milady there is an identity crisis. A psychological splitting spread throughout the culture. An insight once revealed, obvious. An insight frequently made among Milady’s, behind closed GCs or on dance floors at Milady Raves or in backroom cabals. An insight rarely uttered publicly on the TL. In breaking this taboo at the heart of Milady, Mibera awakens from hibernation. Hibernation because she was there at Milady’s genesis and has been here all along. Where is the art criticism Remilia asks? From within Milady, by Rebased Retard Beras, ofc.
In my lands we keep our true names hidden all our lives long, from all but those whom we trust utterly; for there is great power, and great peril, in a name. I spoke your true name. It's not what I thought it would be. And I don't feel easy about it. As if I'd left something unfinished. But it is your name. If it betrays you, then that's the truth of it.
Milady’s Identity Crisis can be represented most simply in the dialectic of opposites. By considering Milady’s shadow sides, we find Mibera. For inside each Milady, Mibera has existed since her inception. The primordial force from which Milady has found form, and to which she can return at any time. cute/acc without a shadows embrace risks being yet another shade of toxic positivity. The ying of Milady can be explored in the yang of Mibera through the following Trinity:
HONEY: Clear pill vs rave pill
BERA: Kali/acc vs cybernetic psychedelia
BGT: Network Spirituality (Spirit) vs Network Mysticism (Soul)
