Brandon Bowman has something to tell his parents. If he could just stomach the words...
.o0o.
Deep breath in...
Deep breath out.
Two words. That’s it. Technically three, if Brand were to be so picky, but two is all he needs. Two words to free the biggest secret in his fifteen (nearly sixteen!) year old world, to unlatch every rib from his sternum and release the truth bubbling so patiently inside him.
He can say it easily. His lips know the motion of it. He whispered it into his pillow at half past twelve at midnight, traced it onto his wrist in soap suds in the shower, scribbled it onto scraps of paper when he felt particularly daring. (He doesn’t feel daring now. Not at all.) It would be so easy, take two seconds, to just. Say it.
But something about the kitchen table, or the way his parents look at him, buttons back every word from his lips, and he can only stare at the bumps on the dinosaur-patterned tablecloth and curse his stupid mouth for being unable to say two simple words.
“Honey,” Simone says after a while — a statement, a reminder that he is cherished, he is loved, he is safe. He knows there’s no way on the planet his parents would throw all that away just because of... of who he loves. “Was there anything you wanted to talk to us about?”
There is, and all three of them know it. If Frederick’s trio of thumbs up emojis (plus the generic dinosaur tacked on the end) and Simone’s Of course! Hope everything’s okay. messages were anything to go by, they saw his hastily-worded text — Hey can i talk to you guys about something — he sent in a spurt of bravery just after a particularly good swim practice. He curses his past self for such confidence. What was he thinking? Did all the sleepless nights and Am I Gay? quizzes and moments of silence that almost turned into confessions mean nothing?
The word part is, deep down, he knows there’s no point in keeping it secret. His parents will love him, Darius — when Brand explains what gay is, if their parents haven’t already told him — will be a little confused but still love him, God will still love him... So why can’t he just. Fucking. Say. It?
“Brand?” Frederick repeats, a concerned curve to his eyebrows pointing to the unspoken question are you really okay? and Brand realises he didn’t even answer his mum.
“I’m, uh...”
Comments in Christian chat rooms saying I accept I just dont rlly support and Man shall not lie with other men and Jesus loves you in spite of your sins! buzz to the forefront of his brain. He could summon the pixelated font if he screwed his eyes shut and tried hard enough — but then, that would entice more questions, and he wants this over and done with as quickly as possible.
(Just. Say. It.)
“Mom, dad...” Okay. Good, solid start. “I recently realised something... a— about myself... I don’t know if I like it yet, but— but it didn’t feel right that you don’t know. So I want to tell you. Myself.”
They both hold silent, an unspoken invitation for him to proceed. Waiting for him to unlatch his ribs and tell them. The love in their eyes swallows up any thought that they’d do anything but love him unconditionally.
You can do this, Brand. He imagines a miniature cartoonish version of him in his brain, cheering him on with pom-poms and rainbow flags. You got this! Just two words!
Just say it.
Deep breath in...
Deep breath out...
“Mom... dad... I’m...”
All the air rushes out of him, and his shoulders deflate, like all the tense pressure in them deflates like a popped balloon — his lips glue themselves together with his own spit, and he couldn’t get out another word if he tried. He’s never hated himself more.
“We know, honey,” Simone says.
“And we’re proud of you,” Frederick adds.
The breath hitches on a knot in his throat. He dares look at his parents and— God— their eyes are filled with so much love. Suddenly, Brand really wants to cry.
“And we— I am sorry if we ever said anything that made you feel like you couldn’t tell us that,” Simone says sincerely. “Because we love you no matter what. Who you love won’t change that.”
Brand sniffs, gulping back tears that feel like rocks scraping down his throat. It went perfectly. Of course it did. There was no reason to be as afraid as he was — they know now. His chest feels lighter, he no longer wants to break apart his ribcage, and finally, he feels like he can breathe again. It’s like shrugging off his school bag at the end of the day: barely bothering him until he takes if off his shoulders, digs through the four textbooks he was lugging to and from school, and wonders how on earth he was carrying all of that at once.
But the bag is down, dumped by the door of his bedroom, and he can breathe again. He can relax. He can lean into the back of the chair— hey, he’s never properly relaxed into this chair, has he? and know things are going to be okay.
A tear splashes onto the dinosaur tablecloth, right onto a blue brachiosaurus.
“Oh, baby,” Simone says, the gentle nickname rolling off her tongue like drops of water from a leaf, sweet nectar dripping out of a tree, and Brand starts crying even harder.
Two chairs scrape the slate floor, and in a heartbeat, his parents are hugging him — holding him, shushing him, rocking him somehow in perfect sync — and he’s made of long limbs and tough callouses and brave words, but now... he feels like a little boy again.
“We love you,” Frederick whispers into his hair. “So much. And we always will, no matter what.”
“I— I thought...” His words evaporate and wither on his tongue — because what did he think? That they’d renounce him? They’d tell him he’ll burn in hell — he’s heard it before, in webpages and churchgoers he’s had the good sense to close down pretty quickly — and that God will never love him? Brand might not be perfect, but being gay... he knows it’s not worthy of that. He can’t change it (and believe him. He tried).
But he can’t stop the sickening thought sliding off his tongue — “I was scared God wouldn’t love me anymore.”
Frederick lets go, Simone following suit, and for a second Brand fears the absolute worst. His eyes — usually pinched with laughter and brimming with a knowing sparkle — are as serious as he’s ever seen them.
“...Dad?”
“Brandon.” And man, does that one word — the full name, only reserved for the most serious of occasions — hurt like a gut punch in his chest. “Why would God put love in your heart, only to tell you it’s wrong?”
The words ring around him, crashing with the force of a wave breaking onto the shore, soaking dry edges of untouched sand in pure, utter relief. “I...” Brand shakes his head, his hands shaking even harder by his sides.
“We are all God’s children, honey. Including you,” Simone says, her voice butter-soft. “He made you perfectly.”
“Even if you don’t love yourself right now, we love you. And God loves you too. That’s kind of what religion is all about.”
Brand is openly bawling now, his throat growing salty and thick with tears. He can barely press his lips into a wobbly smile, but he manages, and his parents give him smiles of their own. It feels like being handed a small part of the universe. A star he can cup in his own hands and call it strength.
“But,” Frederick says, a jokey warning in his tone, “Door open when guys come over, alright?”
“Dad!” Brand complains, but he’s laughing.
“And whoever you end up with had better treat you right,” Simone adds, her voice playful but Brand knows she’s being dead serious. He feels like there’s a giant shield around his entire body. Nothing can hurt him with their arms to fall back into. For the first time in his life, he feels something good inside him and calls it power. Not the vicious, sharp stuff that pumped through the veins of a scrappy teen whose boots were too big to hold him. He’s growing into who he is now, slim wrists filling out into strong ones. His jawline sharpening into a face he’s proud to say is just like his father’s, his eyes softening into ones just like his mother’s — and a smile entirely his own.

When my family first moved to the UK, we faced a similar risk to our wellbeing & safety as many are facing now, albeit for different reasons. in light of everything happening in Ireland & the tensions increasing in Glasgow, and the perennial England, here’s a list of actionable things to do for people who may be targeted & anti racist allies.
MY HOME IS ON THE LIST/LIKELY TO BE TARGETED, WHAT CAN I DO?
* it may bring you peace of mind to have a go-bag ready, just in case. A go-bag is a bag with everything in it that you need to get out a volatile situation quickly. Any bag that can be secured (buttoned or zipped) will do. In your go-bag, you should include;
- any shelf-stable medication (tablets, inhalers etc.) if you are on medication that needs to be refrigerated, leave it in the fridge until you have to leave
- Sanitary items; toothbrush, toothpaste, sanitary pads & tampons, deodorant. If you have very young children with you, you may also want to take your nappy bag.
* If you have to leave, a go-bag is a convenient way to ensure you have everything of importance with you.
* If you are being supported by an asylum seekers or refugee charity, or are a member of a gurdwara/temple, mosque, synagogue or church, reach out to your religious leaders. They may be able to provide direct support, or put you in contact with organisations or other congregants who can help. If you are friendly with your neighbours, it may be worth contacting them too.
* IN THE EVENT THAT “PROTESTORS” DO COME TO YOUR HOUSE, CALL 999 IMMEDIATELY, AND FOLLOW ANY INSTRUCTIONS THEY GIVE YOU. MOVE AWAY FROM ANY WINDOWS. DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY EMERGENCY SERVICES.
I’M AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT/CARE WORKER/NHS WORKER, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
* Contact your student welfare office/NHS Trust/agency for advice, support and referral to organisations that may be able to provide assistance
* if you live in or commute through an area that is likely to be targeted, contact your lecturers and your faculty to find out whether remote study is possible; if you work in care or as part of the NHS, find out if it is possible to change shifts.
* If it would provide peace of mind, prepare a go-bag as listed above
* Reach out to your the uni society or student’s organisation for international students or students of specific ethnic origin; they may be able to provide you with direction to resources and peer support. If your university has a Marxist or Socialist society, reach out to them for mutual aid with a travel buddy etc., for getting to and from your place of study/work
* If you are a member of a gurdwara/temple, mosque, synagogue or church, reach out to your religious leaders. They may be able to provide direct support, or put you in contact with organisations or other congregants who can help.
* If you are friendly with your neighbours, it may be worth contacting them too for assistance with travel to & from work.
* Report any racism or racialised violence you are subjected to. NHS staff have a right to refuse to treat patients who harass, abuse, threaten or insult them; if a patient is racist to you, where possible, ask another member of staff to take over their care.
PERSONAL SAFETY:
* do not leave your home unless strictly necessary. If it is necessary to leave, don’t do it alone.
* use NextDoor, WhatsApp, social media and word of mouth to avoid commuting through “protestor” road blocks, areas of active conflict etc.,
* When travelling, use Share My Location or Life360, and keep at least two people aware of your expected time of arrival at your destination with instructions to contact the police if you do not let them know you’ve made it safely
* do not directly confront any individuals involved, or allow them to bait you into becoming confrontational
* only record if it is safe. Do not record individuals directly/from up close
* Do not directly intervene. If you see violence occurring, contact emergency services and if safe to do so, record what’s happening.
ALLYSHIP & HOW TO HELP:
* if you have neighbours, friends, coworkers or acquaintances form targeted communities, reach out to them. Ask them what you can do to help them feel safe.
* If you live in an area likely to be targeted, reach out to any vulnerable people you know. If safe and possible, offer to let them shelter with you in the event they need to leave home
* If you see any incitement to violence online screenshot it; it may prove useful in the event of individual “protesters” being prosecuted
* If you see any specific areas being discussed as targets, alert anyone you know at risk in the area
* Reach out to local refugee & asylum seekers’ organisations, to organisations supporting foreign national care & healthcare workers, and to churches, mosques, gurdwaras; they may be looking for short term assistance in helping to provide for vulnerable members of their community
CHARITABLE ORGANISATIONS FOR ASSISTANCE & TO SUPPORT:
* NASC Ireland; refugee & asylum seeker charity
* Doras.org; migrant, stateless persons, refugee and asylum seeker rights advocates
* Jesuit Refugee Service; religious refugee & asylum seekers charity
* Irish Refugee Council; supporting stateless displaced persons & refugees in NI & ROI
* International Student’s House (IE & UK WIDE): provides hardship funding and help to international students
* PathFinder (UK WIDE); supports international students
* Care International (GLOBAL); global carer’s charity
* Choose Love (IE & UK WIDE); charitable organisation supporting refugees and asylum seekers
* Praxis UK (UK WIDE); supporting refugees & asylum seekers
* The Runnymede Trust (IE & UK WIDE); antiracism education charity
* Migrant’s Rights Network (IE & UK WIDE); advocacy and support for migrants and refugees

CHAOS THEORY FANDOM ATTENTION ATTENTION *alarm bells and indominous rex roar*
If you come across a fic on ao3 or wattpad titled Jurassic World: Edge of Extinction, THE AUTHOR USES AI. I came across a tiktok of the author advertising it with the fic's character designs and they admitted to using ai after someone in the comments pointed out Darius's face looking different. Kenji also has a completely different hair color and texture. Unfortunately I scrolled too fast to take note of the author name. (Ai is so stupid all it did was lengthen Brooklynn's cc hair, make Darius face wonky and change his jacket color, and turn Kenji into a straight up anime character)
Instead I have some great anti ai author recs!
@sparkshock sparkshock on ao3, she's writing an AMAZING fic titled Art of Evolution that's a reimagined Camp Cretaceous
@emberphoenixisgoingtolivee Double Trouble86 on ao3 (i think that's your user correct me if I'm wrong), fire makes great fics exploring the camp fam's relationships throughout the shows, if I had to recommend one its the Bowman Christmas Fic
And me! Vampsaurus on ao3, I write a mishmash of stuff and have been on an indefinite hiatus but heavy focus on Benji (with post-epilouge disabled Ben) and trans, autistic Darius
oh thanks for the shout out! :3 go check out their fics y'all these people are SO talented!
Also, I found the individual in question: their user is wynn_a_story on Wattpad and WebNovel, and WynnAstra on Ao3. They're posing the fic in all three of these places, not sure if it's anywhere else.
There's really no way to be sure if they are using AI in the writing, unless they accidentally leave in a prompt from whatever generator they are using. But they are 100% using AI-generated pictures to advertise the "fic" on TikTok, and that's telling enough. If they're using AI to generate pictures for advertising (I refuse to call that shit "art"), they definitely have zero qualms about using it in their writing.
I encourage everyone to block this individual on whatever platforms you use. Don't go harassing them in their comments; that will only boost their engagement and push their crap to a wider audience.
To end this on a more positive note, here are a few more JWCC/CT authors that DON'T use AI in their work! Support real writers/artists everyone! Like Tristan said, AI has no place in our fandom!
@patchodraws, aka Patcho418 on Ao3, has quite a few oneshots and wips for you to check out! She does INCREDIBLE character studies, and I'm quite a big fan of her Brokerlynn content!
@raptorladylover6969, aka Elenas_Wife on Ao3, has some amazing oneshots for Chaos Theory, as well as fics for other fandoms! Recently, he's been working on a very interesting crossover with Carmen Sandiego and Jurassic Park.
If you are a fic author or know of any, shout them out in a reblog! And as always, FUCK AI!
more shoutouts to @throneofrayllum and @vahleeairbus-a330neo - both amazing fic writers!! throneofrayllum focuses on dinostar and Vahlee writes a lot of yasammy (but other gyrosphere pairings as side characters) and her writing is very sociopolitically aware and informed, it's exactly my thing!
Under this new ruling, multiple vulnerable groups will be impacted across social care and healthcare sectors. If an autistic person with high support needs, someone with a serious mental illness, or a person with a severe learning disability is locked in a care setting and sedated, but does not actively protest, they will no longer be considered "confined" by the state. They will lose their automatic right to independent reviews, a legal advocate, and protection from closed care cultures.
This ruling states if someone is sedated and does not instigate a complaint regarding their circumstances while ACTIVELY SEDATED, then they have no right to legal checks and balances to preserve their wellbeing??? Is this correct??? The UK is falling apart.
As far as I can tell from reading the statement by Mind and the BBC article, this ruling states that people who don’t have the legal capacity to understand why they’re being physically or chemically restrained/ kept in a locked care home or ward etc. are still able to give “consent” to that treatment in a way that it doesn’t count as a deprivation of liberty.
So if someone is chemically sedated, doesn’t understand that’s what’s happening, but doesn’t complain then they could be seen to be “consenting” to that treatment. That’s true even if they don’t know what the medication is, what the effects are, how long they last or that there might be other options.
Because the presence of “consent” means that a restriction wouldn’t be considered “Deprivation of Liberty” it means these people aren’t entitled to deprivation of liberty safeguards, which including having independent checks to make sure that any restrictions to their freedom is proportionate and that they’re not being abused in that setting.
One of the reasons the ruling was made is that it placed an “undue burden” on local authorities. Basically local governments were like “hey we’re massively failing our legal duties to protect incredibly vulnerable people from abuse, any chance you could let us off so we don’t have to do it?” And the UK Supreme Court agreed with them.
The other hugely chilling “reasoning” behind this ruling (other than finances) is the idea that disabled people cannot be deprived of their liberty if they can’t understand that’s what’s happening. It’s absolutely disgusting.
Today is the first day the FIFA World Cup. We should do everything in our power to boycott it!
FIFA (International Association Football Federation in English), like many organizations, is corrupted. Here are some of the few things it has done over the past couple of weeks:
1) "FIFA president Gianni Infantino has fended off concerns over ongoing visa issues for players and officials entering the United States for the World Cup, saying the global football body’s executives are not “kings of the world” and cannot override government decisions.
Infantino, facing questions from the media on the eve of the tournament on Wednesday, said that FIFA is focused on being a “sports organisation” and will not intervene in helping the US determine approvals for entry into the country" [Al Jazeera].
2) "FIFA is banning spectators at World Cup matches from bringing reusable water bottles into its stadiums, after initially saying it would allow them.
Just three weeks ago, FIFA updated its code of conduct policy for North American venues, stating that “empty, transparent, reusable plastic bottles, up to (1 litre in) capacity, may be brought into the stadium,” Reuters reported, but backpedalled Thursday, saying they were no longer allowed and that fans will now have to purchase bottled water on site" [Global News].
3) "FIFA President Gianni Infantino defended World Cup ticket prices, saying Wednesday "if we are doing something wrong, everyone in North America is doing something wrong'" [CBC News].
As a sporting organization, it is okay with harming the local economy, the environment and does not extend its influence when it comes to the people! (Which is nothing new!)
At the same time, 'Canada' has denied entry to Palestinian Football Association officials during the pre World Cup meeting? [The Guardian]. Eventually, visas are granted after pressure from the public [Palestinian Youth Movement], but this is how you know that FIFA is a platform for Zionists!
So please keep talking about Palestine. Boycott, donate and protest! Consider helping my friend, Suad (@stillwritingtoday) [#279 in the vetted spreadsheet by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi. @/nabulsi has written multiple posts for Suad, with the latest update here].

also shoutout to the guy in the row across from me having his own little dance party to his music. i smiled and danced in my seat and he smiled back , it was so sweet
shoutout to the homeless guy i met in london. fr one of the nicest strangers ive ever met. he told me about his dog (and i got to tell him about my snake) and how he lost his job after a really bad construction accident, and how tough it is being homeless. how he's been begging for money all day and im the first person (at 3pm) to speak to him or give him any kind of grace. how no one ever cares. how the heat makes it worse - you get blisters and sweat sores, and it's so hard to sleep in the heat. all he wanted was £18 to stay the night in a backpacker shelter and all i could give him was £10. we sat and chatted, and i taught him what nonbinary was, and he said i was the first non binary person he'd ever met and that he was very privileged to meet a nonbinary person. he was so appreciative of what i was able to give him and kept asking me if there was anything he could do for me, and i felt so bad i couldn't do more. he said i was one in a million, and that my mother should be proud of me (to which i said i don't really get along well with her and he went "that's her loss" lol XD). possibly my favourite part of this whole interaction is that he said he felt he could approach me (above other people) because i had a very easygoing vibe about me (which is honestly every goal i ever have appearance wise). amazing to meet you Matt i truly won't forget you, you're one of the nicest strangers ive met, and i hope you find stability and housing soon ❤️
i always get such a shock hearing The American Accent out in the wild, like. what are you doing here? how did you break containment? what are you doing in england?

CHAOS THEORY FANDOM ATTENTION ATTENTION *alarm bells and indominous rex roar*
If you come across a fic on ao3 or wattpad titled Jurassic World: Edge of Extinction, THE AUTHOR USES AI. I came across a tiktok of the author advertising it with the fic's character designs and they admitted to using ai after someone in the comments pointed out Darius's face looking different. Kenji also has a completely different hair color and texture. Unfortunately I scrolled too fast to take note of the author name. (Ai is so stupid all it did was lengthen Brooklynn's cc hair, make Darius face wonky and change his jacket color, and turn Kenji into a straight up anime character)
Instead I have some great anti ai author recs!
@sparkshock sparkshock on ao3, she's writing an AMAZING fic titled Art of Evolution that's a reimagined Camp Cretaceous
@emberphoenixisgoingtolivee Double Trouble86 on ao3 (i think that's your user correct me if I'm wrong), fire makes great fics exploring the camp fam's relationships throughout the shows, if I had to recommend one its the Bowman Christmas Fic
And me! Vampsaurus on ao3, I write a mishmash of stuff and have been on an indefinite hiatus but heavy focus on Benji (with post-epilouge disabled Ben) and trans, autistic Darius
