The art of being political or even acting throughout politics–an imaginative element screaming the insecurities of power dynamics, upheaval of strategy, while infusing the unexpected. Ultimately, survival. And not always of the fittest.

From monarchy to aristocracy, the meticulous layers of a republic or democracy. The institution. A simple pecking order. All taking a backseat to perceived morality and ideology for the advantageous.

The realism often may lie in the art of debate. Cunning, mystique, or pageantry can recenter culture. From hyper-personal to hyper-sexual, navigating a curated space is as conceptual as the mindfulness (or lack thereof) applied to a goal.

One doesn’t have to reimagine his or her portfolio for acquisition. The collective of relationships and civil discoveries through achievement. Salute. A win, at the cost of a soul. Or a heart. Not considering the many impacted. Empathy becomes rebellion. Consideration a systemic barrier. And sympathy for the weak.

Having regard to the danger of one’s own chess move is playing chess. Abreast of these movements being allegorical and anarchial at a table that can be turned, or a castle burned from dragon fire above. Neglect of the deep roots from the Children of the Forest or the grimoire boasting barriers of protection – only feels like the wrath of an Ice Queen when more heat is preferred over the rigid chill of the North.

In a world of magic, mayhem, myth–and make believe, political acumen is in safety. The wisdom to live another day comes through the imagery of humility. Often, invisibility. The quiet whispers in the background guiding the Colors of the Wind versus being the wolf crying to the Blue Corn Moon.

The jewels of a crown are like an Infinity Stone carrying the connection to a vine. While alchemic structure is merely the gauntlet. One must navigate and conquer to align them all. Be wary. With conquests come challenges. That then began a saga. Ending with heroes and those on the right-side of history telling the story. To what end, even Anti-hero’s get happy endings.

Performative and performance. Similair origins. Lived out differently. Every layer of the tower must always yield to the support of the foundation. Or there is nothing a all.

What destroyed whole dynasties? Politics. P*ssy. And Power. Simply put, the realism of it all.
