For all those people who think the A in LGBTQIA+ stands for Ally...

How is being a descent human being queer??? How is not being a literal homophobe/transphobe/biphobe/intersexphobe/aphobe worthy of praise???

Congratulations, you're not an asshole. That does not mean you're part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

A stands for queer identities which begin with the letter A. This currently includes asexuality, aromanticism, agender, and their respective spectrums.

A does not stand for ally. Did it in the past? Maybe in some circles. Should it now? No. Things change. History is important, but people have to live right here right now. We need to do what makes sense right here right now.

Allies are welcome in some queer spaces, and NOT WELCOME in other queer spaces. Unfortunately, people who cannot come out may be excluded. That sucks. It does not suck as much as queer people being unable to sometimes exclude allies when they need to.

A spectrum queer identities are still facing a lot of exclusion in queer communities. We need to explicitly include them wherever we can. Real Allyship would understand that. We need to talk more about a spectrum queer identities. We need to make it clear that they exist and that they are welcome.

again what is queer about a cishet who needs a bond to feel sexual attraction? what do they contribute to the lgbt community? how do they not oppress lgbt people

okay, so what this is called is aphobia and actually is oppressing lgbtq+ people

demisexual people, on the other hand, are not oppressing anyone by being who they are, and if you believe so, I invite you to either do some research or suck a dogs cock <3

#asexual people are a part of the community whether you like it or not #as are aromantics #if you’re a part of the acronym (including the +) you are a part of the community #a does not stand for ally #asexual #aromantic #aroace #lgbtq #aphobia tw

This is your friendly reminder that ace/aro people belong in queer spaces. Yes, even cishet ace/aro people. Yes, even cishet ace/aro men. And if I see you tell an ace/aro person that hc a queer character ace/aro is infantilizing them, I will take your fucking kneecaps

also obsessed with other queer people or people who pride themselves on being allies who only truly care about the first four letters

#being #this is about being aphobic but also the amount of times ive seen people forget that intersex people exist or just you know queer people is #insane #a does NOT stand for ally #cis intersex people exist!#queer is a valid identity!#fight me ill win cause im RIGHT

Friendly reminder that aplatonics are queer. It’s so disheartening to see so much aphobia be directed towards aplatonics. The A includes all aspecs.

#lgbtq #queer #aspec #aspectrum #aplatonic #aplspec #aplatonic spectrum #aplatonics are queer #aplatonics belong here #lgbt+#lgbtqia #the a includes all aspecs #the a does not stand for ally #aplatonic questioning #of course not every aplatonic may identify as queer but the label itself is very queer regardless #if the person is only aplatonic but otherwise doesn’t I’d with other queer labels they still belong in the queer community #aphobia

sometimes researching for avatar redesigns has you 6 layers deep into the Japan's Meiji era allies wiki

#im trying to mess with some of the stuff that feels weird about the ways the fire nation is depicted idk #like i do not feel optically it is good for like them to be so heavily based on japan's imperialist actions #while dressed in clothes that come from places japan colonized #but i dont want it to just be solely japanese though i did draw zuko and azula in hakama but its largely cause i wanted to draw hakama #and like the only place with strong japanese influence being kiyoshi island and my own frustration with the modern day samurai depiction #i think fundamentally it isnt a choice that had as much thought as i am putting in put into it but it does raise an eyebrow for me #anyway i think keeping the thai influence is fine despite the brief invasion japan had into thailand due to thailand then allying with japa #and further allying with the axis due to allying with japan #ugh and ive been told not to think this much about it because its fiction but its also fiction so so so heavily based on real places #and when you base fiction on real cultures you fall into some unintentional pitfalls #i also fucking hate the royal fire nation robes they look so meh and the most costumey out of everything in the show #they look like heavy blankets despite being a supposedly hot nation #theres ways to have heavy robes (heian era japan) but they look like i make them out of fleece and velvet blankets #back to kiyoshi island i think the really only aesthetically japanese reference in the show being an island of noble warriors is lame #plus over done #it feels like nowadays theres a lot of people who get all whiney about people saying fire nation is based off japan #but like dude the creators in the comics and korra like go even more into the japanese influence and clearly it was the original intentions #also i do think you could do some pretty interesting world building by having say there be an older cultural influence on kiyoshi island #from the fire nation especially if the place is established as a central port area then you tie in some okinawan or even hawaiian reference #and gives an explanation that makes sense to why kiyoshi stands out from the rest of the earth kingdom you have long term cultural trading #and it establishes interesting relationships even pre kiyoshi time thereby drawing back onto some real historic references #cause for awhile ryukyu china and japan used to be this trading triangle which could explain some of these various influences going on #i think you can get a really interesting harmony when you create the fire nation out of a mix of japan and thailand #i mean both have these floating buildings due to living on some pretty wet lands and theres harmony in that mix #god i did see one person go like “fire nation is more based on china because theres a lot of red and red is important in china”#my brother in christ red is also important in japan #red is important in like many many asian cultures #i mean of course a lot of that importance stems from china and cultural exchange with china but idk kinda silly to say with your whole ches #like if you want to bring china in then the dragons are the biggest thing like sure some mythos has dragons in japan #but a lot of those comes from china in some way

i’m confused. isn’t it bad that amber settled?

i don’t think so!

it offers her a chance to finally be rid of her abuser, once and for all. she will no longer have to suffer through his legal abuse and she will not be forced to relive her trauma again for the public or for anyone. she will be able to move on with her life, her activism, her acting, and raising her beautiful daughter!! hopefully this can begin to officially be behind her and she can move forward in peace 💕

#also now she can speak about the case and her abuse freely which is so great too!!!#essentially it’s sad to see her lose the legal fight but she’s really won in the end bc she gets to heal now and make that active choice!#and i can’t wait to see what she does next she will always have a fan in me !!!!#i stand with amber heard #allie answers

Holding hands

Skipping like a stone

Burn the witch

Burn to ash and bone

Would That I, Hozier / English nursery rhyme / Things We Lost in the Fire, Bastille / Andalucia, Lisa Marie Basile / Take Me to War, The Crane Wives / Curses, The Crane Wives / Burn the Witch, Queens of the Stone Age

#the owl house #philip wittebane #caleb wittebane #emperor belos #wittebros #web weaving #*sees all the fire imagery surrounding philip and his brother* what does it MEAN what does it ALL mean #witches were burned at the stake #and yet it's that very fire that tempts caleb toward magic and away from his brother #it is fire that surrounds him as he dies in philip's memory #and it is fire that surrounds belos as he stands triumphant against the owl lady and her allies #much to think about #and yes there's twice as many crane wives lyrics as there was in my last one #I am not sorry

Ohh so that's where the "she's dead, scar. you won" screenshot that people go insane over comes from feeling really normal about that one 👍

#sorry but the way he didnt even realise hed won #theres LIGHTNING it's not exactly subtle but he keeps hunting he keeps going for the kill #and then grian tells him shes dead. he won #and he stops. he starts laughing and it sounded surprisingly close to crying #he stands still in shock while a zombie hits him over and over and he does nothiny #he didnt want to kill pearl. he refused to turn on her until they were the only players left #'how did this happen?' he asked 'how did the guy with no friends win'#well he killed th only friend he had left #as happened time and again in the season. every ally he made he eventually turned on for a task or because he wanted to win #but he wanted allies he wanted friends #and he didnt even realise it was over when it was. he was still going #and he goes back to the secret keeper and succeeds his task. and he gets a new book #what does it way? 'win secret life'#as if it's never truly over as if scar never truly won as if it keeps going forever with no rest no peace #im so ill right now #secret life #what the fuck... ough #storytelling masterpiece and it was like. improv but even less planned than improv #girl
