Soo I just saw 7x06 and WHAT THE HELL? (aside from everything that happened and a lot happened) I WASN'T IN ANY WAY PREPARED FOR BUCK TO WALK BACK INTO THE HOSPITAL ROOM ALL SMILEY WITH TOMMY IN TOW AND SOOT COVERING HIS MOUTH🥹
I love your art so much and would absolutely love to get a paperback. Unfortunately, I haven't exactly come out to my parent's yet 😅 and it might look weird ordering this, so I'd have to explain. Thier very supportive and I'm sure they'll support me, I'm still just very scared. Do you have any advice if you've done this before?
Hi!! And sorry for the late reply TwT
I think with my parents it happened kind of in that way for me! I started wearing aro/ace pins since my late teenage years (shortly after the ace flag became a thing hehe) and my parents just sort of... Noticed over time, I think.
My mom was the only one who commented on it (my parents are separated so interactions are separate). She wasn't very understanding at first (she is super understanding and supportive now, which I also pin on her being in a much better place in her life), but back then whenever she would express the usual "but isn't that sad" concerns, my two ever-supportive brothers would laugh it off like "no it's not sad / why are you even surprised she's made it obvious for a while". It helped me a great deal.
I guess one thing to keep in mind is there may be an initial lack of understanding, there's always a risk (though it's much lesser if your parents are supportive already!), but you shouldn't let that get to you, as much as you're able. Unless your parents actively try to force relationships you don't want on you (which would suck for anybody in any orientation), they can't do anything to physically prevent you from living as who you are. In my younger years I tended to shrug off a lot of people who didn't understand my orientation. I knew who I was and that was all I needed. I know I make it sound easier than it is probably TwT But I hope this can help anyhow!
EDIT: I almost forgot to say! I've found that even though she didn't understand much at first, my mom was quick to ask questions and lend a listening ear to understand better, so in my own experience, you shouldn't be afraid of responding to questions from your parents openly! If they're supportive, they won't be like those people who just ask stuff to "negociate" you into actually being straight or indirectly make fun, it'll be out of a sincere will to know you better, and it can be really sweet.
I wanna come out to my parents about being transmasc but the first time I tried telling them I was part of the LGBTQ+ Community they said "No you aren't" But I just kinda wanna tell them so I feel more comfortable
(I almost accidentally outed myself to my sister.)
My sister is fantastic, but I’m not out to her (yet), because like me, she’s from Generation X, and we didn’t learn about asexuality. I’m still new enough to all of this that I don’t want to mess up explaining it to her, and and and.
Anyway, I was talking with her about planning a group trip with her and her partner to go see England. To help sell them on the trip, I shared an album of all the photos I took in England in my trip there this April.
• Tons of scenery. 🏞️
• Shots of all the cool places. 🏰
• Video clips of how fun the trains are, 🚅
• A photo of the asexual pin I bought at a queer bookshop in York. 🏳️🌈

Reporter: What do you have to say to criticism that for years, the Robin role was filled solely by straight, cis white males?
Nightwing: I’m not white.
Red Hood: I’m not white.
Red Robin: I’m not… Well I’m white...
The camera lingers for an awkward moment before an offended Spoiler jumps into frame and protests girl-Robin erasure.
Later, someone puts the short close up of Red Robin’s response in slow motion with rainbow filters and dance music, and it‘s a viral joke in Gotham for two weeks.
It’s mostly forgotten for years until Red Robin goes to Pride and casually mentions that he’s already come out years ago. The clip resurfaces and people are like, “Wait, that was it??? That was real???”
Because Tim Drake has extensive media training but Red Robin is a chaotic bisexual disaster with no filter.
And that’s my headcannon of how Red Robin comes out in a way that’s so dumb, most people don’t even realise he’s done it.
(Bonus headcanon: Bernard was the creator of the original viral clip and was infuriated at the time because people thought it was a joke but it was SO OBVIOUS that Red Robin was coming out. Why couldn’t everyone see it?)
(EDIT: This recipe can also be used for gay, trans, or ace Tim - just adjust the ingredients to your personal preference.)
At 250 notes on this, I'll come out to my parents.
Edit : I did come out, it went well except for some aphobia but they were supportive. I came out in French so I couldn't use either "the only lust I feel is bloodlust" or "this bloodline ends with me"
obsessed with the way Eddie is about to look back down on his phone but in a split second recognises from Buck’s face that something very serious is happening and immediately gives him his whole attention.
it literally took less than a second for Eddie to read Buck and he immediately responded accordingly. it was so fast, blink and you’d miss it.
i’ve said it way to many times before and i’ll say it again: they’re soulmates in the most beautiful way. idc about “romantic” a “platonic” how about written in the stars
