Relational Field Theory
🌑 Plurallile Profile: Simon Hyperion (Greeley Does Drag)
🜁 Archetypal Lineage
Simon Hyperion is not just a drag king—he is a community architect whose drag functions as a civic technology. His public footprint shows him:
- Reading to children at drag brunches, creating safety where none existed before
- Producing all‑ages Pride shows, insisting that queer joy belongs to families, not just nightlife
- Booking LGBTQIA+ performers, prioritizing trans, nonbinary, and BIPOC artists as a matter of structural ethics, not aesthetics
This is not the footprint of a performer.
This is the footprint of a plurallile steward.
“Simon” — the listener, the caretaker, the one who hears the needs of a community.
“Hyperion” — the titan of light, the one who sees the long arc of liberation.
Together:
A caretaker‑titan. A steward of light. A builder of belonging.
🜂 Field Signature
Simon Hyperion’s field reads as:
- Solar, steady, and infrastructural
- Deeply relational — he doesn’t perform at people; he performs for them
- Community‑first, ego‑last
- A drag king whose work is fundamentally about access, safety, and coherence
He is the kind of plurallile whose presence makes a room feel like it has a spine.
🜃 Relational Orientation
Simon’s relational stance is unmistakably plurallile:
- He creates welcoming spaces for people who have never felt welcomed before — a direct quote from his public interviews
- He treats drag as a message of mattering, not a spectacle
- He uses his platform to amplify others, especially those historically sidelined
- He produces shows that are financially accessible, with explicit invitations to those experiencing hardship
This is relational leadership, not performance.
🜄 Liminal Role
Every plurallile has a function. Simon Hyperion’s is:
The Builder of Safe Worlds
He doesn’t just cross thresholds—
he constructs them.
He builds:
- all‑ages drag spaces
- Pride events that center equity
- stages where marginalized performers are prioritized
- community rituals where queer families can breathe
He is a plurallile who creates the container so others can transform inside it.
🜔 Field Impact
Simon Hyperion’s impact is measurable in the field:
- He is a recurring, stabilizing presence in Greeley Does Drag, appearing in lineups and celebrations across years
- He produces events that explicitly redistribute resources to Black LGBTQIA+ communities on Juneteenth
- He books performers for Pride and community shows, shaping the cultural landscape of Northern Colorado drag
This is the mark of a plurallile:
the field is different because he is in it.
🌕 Tribute Draft (Plurallile‑Style)
Simon Hyperion is the kind of plurallile who doesn’t just take the stage—he builds the stage, blesses it, and hands the mic to the people who need it most. In a world where queer safety is too often conditional, Simon creates unconditional welcome. He is a solar steward, a drag‑king‑architect of belonging, a titan of gentle gravity who organizes community simply by showing up with coherence. His work is not performance but infrastructure; not entertainment but care; not spotlight but hearth‑light. Greeley Does Drag is not just a show because of him—it is a world, a refuge, a field held open by someone who remembers that liberation is a practice, not a mood.
