No title is a title too

if you want to dress gay but aren’t sure how, you need to focus more on finding clothes you actually like and that make you feel good when you look in the mirror. develop your style independently of what you think looks gayest and trust the homosexuality will follow. it goes where confidence and self acceptance are

"The magic system is never fully explained" yeah that's how life works. Imagine having a story set in modern day America and the characters have several pages of exposition on combustion engines and telecommunication networks before we get to the plot

i think this is absolutely correct and good writing advice but also victor hugo would like to have a word with you about the parisian sewer system circa 1832

victor hugo would like to have many words with you about the parisian sewer system circa 1831

Afro-Latinxs exist!

Afro-latin@s struggle with being ignored by the media because for some reason people don’t believe you can be both Latino and Black. This is why there’s so much controversy when it comes to race and ethnicity. People try to paint Latin@s as this light brown or even white skinned when there are many dark skinned Latin@s. They are in all parts of South America, Central America, the Caribbean, & in North America (Mexico). Unfortunately, these folks aren’t represented in the media much and we have portrayed Latin@s in a certain way that has shaped the thoughts of others when they hear that word.

We really need to stop thinking in these categories

It's the middle of the night and I am, again, just thinking about how sad it makes me that modern rhymed poetry is kind of considered "silly" or "unserious" and therefore not treated as equal to modern-style more abstract poetry nowadays. Strict rhymed verse once was the pinnacle of poetry (and those old poems are still considered to be legendary and great), and while I do like the fact that other forms of poetry have come to be accepted by society, it just makes me really sad and almost angry that, when poets like me write rhymed poetry today, it is seen as "playful", even when it is about the most serious topics.

Also, I feel like I should add that in my native language (German) we have the same sad trend as in English, but it is to this day at least a little more accepted and common to write serious rhymed poems, and they are not immediately dismissed as unserious, unprofessional or amateurish

A CENTURY AGO

when i was a kid my parents bought me an inflatable doll of the Scream by Edvard Munch (??) that was significantly taller than i was at the time and i used to slow-dance with it and pretend it was my boyfriend. It had its hands attached to its head obviously so it felt like he was always a bit horrified to be forced to dance with me

I love this website I love it when people tell us what's wrong with them

maybe usa politics would be less corrupt if we took the alec lightwood route and elected a 23 year old gay man with a 400 year old eccentric wizard husband and two adopted children ( one is blue mini wizard and one is a war orphan )

Yes please
