Hang on

Now try to use them all in a fic with less than 5,000 words. *spins wheel to assign Fandom* Australian Parliament RPF!

My faceblindness is JUST enough that I'm not certain if this is Hugh Laurie or just a scruffy white guy with blue eyes but he's DEFINITELY doing the Hugh Laurie mouth thing so I'm about 70% certain it is

No that's definitely Hugh Laurie.

still caring about internet friends you lost touch with years ago is so embarrassing. yeah i had a deam we met up irl recently. the last time we spoke was maybe 7-8 years ago. i still wear the laces we randomly decided was a sign of our friendship. i dont know what any of your socials are or if youre even active on any. sometimes i see someones art resemble yours and i wonder for hours. do you still go by that name you chose? whenever i see it i wonder if its you. we couldve passed each other in this vastness a thousand times and not have a clue.

we were lonely kids having fun together. do you remember?

”there’s no glory in suffering” and “sometimes the effort is the point” are two ideas that co-exist but god damn if I can ever tell when’s the time for which

If you’re pining you need to stop and pick a different tree. You know, spruce it up a little

I’m still proud of this post. It’s evergreen

OP do you still have the original image. Would you be willing to share it.

You ever think about many peices of media have zero women and thats just perfectly normal but if a peice of media has an all female cast people get... like that? Women should be allowed to kill over this btw

same but it's black people

That's right

Basically the exact same thing is happening with me rn, but Whirlpool are evil and refuse to send the parts to our local guy so we have no choice but to buy a new one. Which we can't afford. So we're just stuck handwashing everything until something dramatically changes.

the infuriating thing is that there is genuinely so much good queer literature out there, contemporary and not, but there is also a sizeable chunk of readers who think that a book only "counts" as good queer literature if it's a) unproblematic, b) contains romance as its central focus, and c) has the characters state their orientation and/or gender identity directly to the audience using socially acceptable 21st-century terms (as opposed to resorting to cowardly tactics such as Subtext and Themes)

also i'm aware this will make me sound like an utter snob but i'm frankly tired of all these rec lists for "gay books" that completely ignore classic literature and most adult fiction in favour of either YA fantasy or cookie-cutter romance novels. and half the time they don't even tell you what the book is about it's just a list of Tropes and Identities ("grumpy/sunshine enemies to lovers featuring a biracial pansexual MC!") as if the only reason anyone would want to read it is as a box-ticking exercise

steven universe has this thing going on where textually he was 100% assigned male at birth but is also narratively/allegorically transmasculine. he's mtm transgender, somehow.

he also takes shifts at the nonbinary factory for fun and profit and has occasionally shown interest in becoming a woman (giant). steven genderverse.
