Azure Lorica has refurbished
its programs for a generation
that’s survived an extraordinary
era of technological revolution
and social reconstruction. They
are college students, parents, and
aging in a world where the word
“opportunity” does not mean to
work regular office hours. They
have endured the harshest of
mental awareness, taken on various
levels of political challenges,
and have built a virtual economy
that may aid generations to
come. They are the warrior, the
dragon, and the storm. And we
are their ally.
When we began, in 2010,
we knew the world as a frightened
creature, unable to stand
against the failing economy and
their family’s dual values. We
wrote plays, produced theatrical
productions, and welcomed the
unwelcomed to our box office. It
took us time, and plenty of moving
about Los Angeles County, to
finally find ourselves online, and
at the edge of the San Gabriel
Valley.
As we await for the return
of business in our local Cafes,
Libraries, and Community
Centers, we are proceeding our
anti-bully society’s work virtually
on zoom, facebook, instagram,
and further. We believed it was
like starting from the ground
up again, as many changes our
humble organization has gone
through, but instead, it felt more
like growing with a family member
you rarely see. Much like
a childhood friend, we caught
up on things, such as facebook
groups and ebook publications,
and are now taking on the challenge
of seeing if we can get

back on lost hobbies, and make
it something more relevant to
us both. We may be different
people now, but our friendship
is stronger now that we’ve had
enough time to be away, during
our awkward phases, which we
just laugh at, now that our angst
has subsided.
What used to be intense
productions, to somehow become
a professional writer someday,
such as our anime convention
and cosplay magazines, are
now book publishing and film
festivals online. It may not be as
flashy, but it helps people at an
international range. Rather than
inviting locals to understand the
misunderstood, we now translate
philosophies for those willing
to read a book from end to end.
Foreign films produce Avenger
fanfilms, US Artists are reaching
Japan and Sweden, and our hope
for a liberal lifestyle no longer
feels so small.
A LIBERAL WORLD
Now, we’re reaching out to a
world that welcomes transgenders
and physical consent, aiding
those with mental health issues,
and inviting allies to make everyone’s
life experience as safe as
possible. The only challenge now
is how to house our growing
number.
Today, we have those that
are learning how to create a safe
space, and those that are teaching
about safe spaces. It’s normal
now, but anxiety may come,
and friends and family may not
always be there. And a stranger
may just be the remedy to one’s
mental health.
Not everyone has the
time to be a committed Guardian,
in our anti-bully society, so
we encourage everyone to create
art. Art carries a story, and
stories are philosophy-practiced.
Let everyone know that this is a
normalcy for many of us, and we
hope that this may allow the
public to understand that people
of any color, within the gender
spectrum, and in and out of the
status quo may never feel in danger
wherever they may go.

THE SOIREE
This inspiration must be
accredited to Professor Elemental.
This UK steampunk rapper
gave a speech at our impromptu
production of the Professor
Elemental Soiree. It was by his
request that we made the concert
happen. We had only six weeks
to prepare, including his friend
Countless Thousands to open,
the order was a tall one for just
two producers. But he was surprised
that we found a way. Stefanie
Warner and Eugene Cordell,
the founders of Azure Lorica,
were not new to underground
parties. They’re quaint people
now, but if you ask them to make
a Tokyo Tea cocktail, they’ll not
only teach you how, but also
pair it with their favorite meal
and tea. So, when the Professor
asked to be taken seriously as a
professional rapper, they went
to Highland Park, and turned
the concert so underground, the
fire department came to shut it
down.
Before this one night’s
end, back in March of 2019,
Professor rounded his audience
together, after a series of his
popular songs, and claimed that
we, as Geeks and Weirdos, were
being distracted from being
ourselves. We are not supposed
to be victims, or strangers to
discrimination. We are large in
number, and allowing an old
society to tell us how it used to
be was just silly. None of us are
children anymore. We have inherited
the world, and to pretend
that we had no power to change
it was obnoxious. The rest of the
world has moved forward, and to
step backwards made no sense.
With women losing
access to medical aid for their
physical health, removing their
right to equal pay and a voice
in politics…we should’ve been
extremely worried. And that was
only the beginning. Ultimately,
we made the choice to do something,
and it worked. Because we
worked.
And due to that, Azure
Lorica wants to keep this story
alive. We want this to be a legacy
worth fighting for. We did it.
As a society, we made equality a
reality in the US. And the world
followed too.
