9/20 is World Children's Day. Just sayin'...

the 'all marriage is gay as far as im concerned' except its me watching a man and woman character in a show i like and accidentally saying 'theyre so gay' because i literally forget thats not the word for romance because to me all romance is gay

it's incredible that tumblr fandom went from DESPERATELY trying to see ANY sort of queer love in the shows we liked, to having shows—high budget, well-made, interesting, mainstream shows staring known actors—that are ABOUT queer love. explicitly, without argument. and just ten years later.

i saw (and reblogged) a post about how GO, ofmd, and wwdits are the new superwholock and i havent stopped thinking about it. cuz i was there, i was in the trenches back in the day. i was there when the writers and actors made fun of us for seeing on screen chemistry and perfect stories to set up romances. they all humored us then shat on us and saw us as a joke. a bunch of weirdo faggy teens that don't think two men can just be friends.

and now look at us. we're seeing the on screen chemistry and it's REAL. it's ON PURPOSE. these ARE romantic stories about queer people. we're not projecting or have wishful thinking... it's TRUE!! it was written and directed and edited and acted that way in earnest. i will take NO SHIT regarding these shows and people's love for them.

and do you know WHY these shows are being made now? these well thought out, feels-real, non-pandering queer stories? it's BECAUSE OF WHAT WE DID ten+ years ago. a lot of queer media never got the green light to be made because execs don't think there's enough of an audience. that more people will dislike the gays than like them. and we've shown them that that's unequivocally untrue. the outcry we had for all those years, the reviews we left, the statements we made, the backlash, it gave show runners ammunition to say "hey. people will watch this. they will like it. let us make it."

this year I will become a powerful lesbian

Two words you might not expect to share an etymology: faggot and fascist. Linguists have a few theories about how a word meaning “bundle of sticks” came to be a slur for gay men—probably a connection to back when gathering small sticks to start fires with was a light chore delegated to old women or young boys—but as a word for a bundle of sticks it’s a diminutive of fascis, the big bundle of rods used as a symbol for strength in unity (as pictured on the US dime)

(I really hope Tumblr is mature enough to handle a linguistic discussion of a slur……)

As I was browsing my copy of the latest Daydream Hour for reference materials, I came across this illustration. Since I don't remember seeing it shared around, here!

Soooo I doodled future Donnie (good one) together with the amazing people on Discord. I started with a base and we moved on from there

The prosthetic leg was a small debate but the tail was decided upon rather quickly wheeeze.

@intotheelliwoods added wings and I love them so much look at him

It's a crime that pulling Gale out of the portal doesn't land him right on top of the player character, accidentally pinning them to the ground, with their faces just oh so close together

your f/o(s) noticing you feel / think badly about yourself, proceeding taking your hands in theirs, scooting a little closer and mumbling sweetly about all the things they so love about you.

Sensitive Self Shippers, this one is for you <3

💫 They’ll always be around to comfort you, no matter what upset you. They’re ready to listen.

🌙 They’d never tease you if you were uncomfortable with it. Your f/o(s) would never push your boundaries.

☀️ You’re their sun & moon, if anyone made you upset they’d be there to help pick you up (and maybe beat up the person who upset you idk)

🪐 And they would never ever think you being sensitive is annoying. They love you so much and they hate to see you cry.

Pr/oship dni please
