Queer Who Loves Stories

Made some little guys <3

Usually I hate *insert animal here* but yours is nice

*Insert animal here* are so gross/icky/ugly but this is a nice photo!

Usually I’m terrified of and will kill *insert animal here* but that one is pretty cute

Basically anything about how gross, nasty, creepy etc that specific species of animal but oh, no, it’s okay that I called them a horrible little monster because I also called them cute!! uwu

How to compliment someone’s pets that are “creepy crawly” type animals:

The same way you compliment a dog or cat? Literally just say something nice? It’s not that hard??? 

Like I don’t care if a snake killed your aunts cousins brothers nephews dog, there’s no excuse for telling someone that their animal (you know, the creature that they love and care for) is ugly, nasty, etc

Seriously if someone left a comment on a picture of your dog like “Usually I kill those on site but yours is kinda cool” you would be fucking outraged, so why is it okay to tell that to someone who has a pet snake?

are you a teenager? do you wish you had the space & resources & organization to do a thing, whether that's an anime club or a movie night or a big craft workshop or creative writing group or literally whatever? would you like to do your thing totally for free? yes?

okay, then bring it up to a librarian

seriously, teenagers are the absolute hardest group to engage at most libraries & we'll often organize programs that absolutely no one will show up to & it sucks. if you go up to a public librarian & say "hey, some friends & i want to do this thing. does that sound like a feasible teen program for the library?" most people will move heaven & earth to pull it off for you because we know there's an interest in our community. we will go balls to the freaking wall to make it happen
