totus mundus agit histrionem

What humans see:

What Vulcans see:

Elizabeth: what about my family?

Darcy:

Also yes, queer is more inclusive! Especially coming at it from an academic standpoint, people didn’t always use or identify with the terms we use now and you can’t always try to cram them into our modern perceptions of sexuality. We can argue for years about whether a famous historical figure was gay or bisexual or straight and trans or whatever, but if we can all agree that they were somehow queer then using that term allows us to move past the debate and into productive discussion. And not everybody everywhere shares the same terms for sexual and gender identity, or even the same concepts of those things, so queer really is a more inclusive term in a lot of cases.

Your words are slurs, too. Why do you get your words, but I don’t get mine? What makes you so special?

every single one of our labels has been used as a slur against us.

terfs and -phobes are always going to try and hurt us with what we identify as. but the fact remains these are OUR labels and always have been.

It just baffled me that people would think an identifier is automatically a slur just because someone uses it to mock someone. If we did that gay would be a slur. Stupid would be a slur. Autistic would be a slur.

And this means that after half the population got dusted, Lil Nas X was like you know what people need? A hip hop country song about a horse. And he was right

I've been playing around with these designs in my freetime since a while and now they're finally done! Essek and his mother Deirta and brother Verin, as I imagine them ✨

Hot take: Verin is basically Essek + Fjord + maybe a sprinkle of Jester, so Caleb never really stood a chance at resisting. Verin is probably (definitely) a little too strong anyway. 😏
