Which These Bois Are Gonna Need

Black ppl deserve to feel safe and welcomed on the internet, on fandoms on whatever community or hobbies they want without having to deal with antiblack racist attacks, microaggressions or enablers of antiblackness . And if u genuinely consider urself to be left leaning or an ally or woke you should do and try to unlearn the colorism, texturism , eurocentrism and antiblackness

I think a fandom becomes more interesting when people are allowed to explore uncomfortable ideas instead of pretending they don't exist

Natural disasters! I never see anyone talk about that one and as a result I spent years thinking that watching my hometown get destroyed on the news and subsequently having to uproot my entire life at the age of seven wasn't Real Trauma because there was no Abuser™

even MOVING too many times can cause trauma. source: my therapist whose eyes bugged out of her head when i told her i'd moved thirty times by the time i turned 18 and talked for half an hour about how destabilizing even one move can be for a child, let alone thirty

This is such an important part. I see so much disucssion on this platform on how some people could not have trauma, because they had a perfectly "normal" childhood. As if a perfectly normal childhood in the torment nexus is not already pretty darn traumatizing. The standard way many schools in the world are run is traumatizing to children. And all children experience marginalization. Because children as a class are a marginalized group that is regularly discriminated against and demeaned. I would go out and say that most people are somewhat traumatized. Many from their childhood.

literally just start posting about your OCs. you don’t even have to “properly” introduce them just make them a dedicated tag, tag them on posts that remind you of them, and then start talking about them like everyone’s supposed to already know who they are. i am not joking when i say this method works.

AND CRUCIALLY NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR TALKING ABOUT THEM. IF YOU DO NOT LOVE YOUR CREATIONS ENTHUSIASTICALLY AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY THEN WHY SHOULD ANYONE ELSE!!!!!

adding songs from musicals to character playlists is so stupid like yeah this works just ignore some of that really specific stuff

it gets to a point that is just weirder if they didn't fuck

you did all this and it was not even because you wanted to bang him? weirdo

Actually, I rather like being trans

I suppose being cis would be nice and all, but it doesn’t quite have the same “I will sieze Destiny by the throat and force it into the shape of my choosing” kind of verve
