I just remembered my second Pride, where I made different flag themed daisy chain bracelets/necklaces to hand out. I need folks to understand something:
They were free.
They were fucking free.
They were maybe ¢60 of acrylic yarn each at the most, and the whole ziploc bag of them took 2 hours max.
Three people gave me sad eyes until I took their money.
Someone who was clearly the mom friend of their group made me take a $5 and gave a 10 minute pep talk.
At least four more people insisted on getting change to pay for the, once again, free bracelets.
In spite of all these shenanigans, the absolute best was this one person who I can only describe as, “queer surfer dude who looks like a boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend.” I can remember nothing of the outfit, only the impeccable vibes. I did the same thing I did with everyone else, explaining the bracelets were free, and they nodded along as they took the last 6 strand rainbow bracelet. As soon as they had it on their wrist, they pointed at something over my shoulder and, like a fool, I looked.
Next thing I know, they’re running off cackling, yelling, “YOU’LL NEVER CATCH ME!” and I’m holding a fucking $20. I had to stop at least two people from chasing them, cause they thought the person stole something, and then they tried to give me money cause they thought it was funny seeing me flail over people being Too Nice.
That was the year I got reverse-robbed at Pride. I hope everyone out there is having a good time and, in particular, that queer surfer dude is out there still causing benevolent chaos.
Edit: Happy Pride 2023, everybody! In the spirit of reverse robbery and benevolent chaos, I have a request!
This year, I’d really like for anyone who can to bring some fun things, like a ton of stickers or small crafts they’re okay with passing out for free. I’d also like for them to bring masks to hand out too.
You want a fun free thing? Wear or take a mask and it’s yours! :D
I’d really like to go this year to spread some of the love, but I’m immunocompromised. Could you all do this as a favor so that I can go next year? Either way, I hope you have a happy Pride! 🏳️🌈

i love characters who lose their memories, find themselves a new identity, then recover who they previously are and are just angry because 1. they lost a lot of time by playing someone else's part 2. they embraced mediocrity when they were clearly headed for the big shot beforehand

bestie the only reason i even guessed a MV is because in the moment i couldn’t fathom why they would have ydgtp playing in the background?? 😭😂😂
My brain went straight to tour because they haven't played ydgtp live yet and it's been a while since the album dropped so it never occurred to me they could do another single, but like you have a point. It could be a MV. I don't know what would be better tbh kspsmspakapakak

what if Disney or some other bigger cartoon creator company made a new show about "The strange case of Dr Jekyll and My Hyde"??
like this typical western style animation like Steven Universe, Gravity Falls or The Owl House???
how'd that look like and how would they make the characters more "kid-friendly" and "relatable to younger audiences"??? I'm legit curious now...

which tragic character from ancient greek literature are you?
patroclus
you are patroclus, from the iliad by homer, doomed by fate to be stuck in a love story that has no place on the battlefield. although you always have the best intentions, you have to realize you cannot save everyone. your unwavering loyalty means you often lose yourself in the process of putting others first. take a deep breath, remember who you are, and that you are deserving of the same love you try to put out. you are kind, you are strong, and you give and you give but it is never enough to protect those you love. in the end, it's not even enough to protect yourself.

fascinating how i gave up on my dreams just because i was scared and i had a terrible first job experience in it that crushed any hope i had in myself, the industry and also made me unable to walk for several months but thats that.. also because it relies on making friends out of colleagues and i am severely uncapable of being a social being i guess.. also because i can't concentrate for shit on working on my folio .. also because i want to die generally.. i guess.

Finally tried fairy bread after being so curious about it for years!
Verdict: maybe I'm just an American who is used to extremely sugary sweets, but I was underwhelmed? One triangle was more than enough, lol. Cute name/idea, though.
