One of a kind

...so to heck with it. they fell through a time portal or something. it's not important, don't worry about it ⏳

yes mr of the torch please do illuminate the way to everyone's satisfaction

Yuu, who cowers when Riddle starts to go red.

Yuu, who hates the feeling of sand and avoids brushing shoulders with Leona.

Yuu, who panics when they’re too deep in the water, never trusts the Leech twins at the beach, and get scared by too many limbs.

Yuu, who shrinks away when Jamil looks them in the eyes a little too long.

Yuu, who rushes to compliment Vil, lest he get upset.

Yuu, who clings to Grim a bit tighter and doesn’t like going to Ignihyde alone.

Yuu, who stays awake until they physically cannot because they’re scared they won’t wake up.

Give me the boys feeling genuine guilt over what they've done and how they can't fix it

Give me the boys knowing that no matter how they may change and grow they've permanently scarred someone

Thanks! Here you go 🥰

Some other additions:

Inspired by @unicorn-in-the-library:

And because @surfs-up-roxy wanted an ace one:

I didn't want to make the message ace-specific because I wanted to make a point of how all of the above include aspec people, but I tried to use an ace colour palette for the background :) I also think the message applies especially (even if not exclusively) to the ace community!

I played around with the concept a bit, I hope you like it anyway!

I feel like this also needs to be said:

Image 1: (in white text, on a background of rainbow watercolors) Gatekeeping hurts queer people who are questioning.

Image 2: (in white text, on a background of rainbow paint strokes) Gatekeeping hurts more queer people than it protects.

Image 3: (in white text, on a background of pastel watercolors) How about you let people question their gender and sexuality in peace.

Image 4: (in white text, on a photo of the rainbow pride flag flying in a blue sky) People don’t owe you a chronicle of their life experiences and feelings for you to decide whether they belong in their own community.

Image 5: (in white text, on a marbled pink background) I don’t know how to tell you this, but you are not the queer police.

Image 6: (in white text, on a background of multicolored textile) Stop siding with our oppressors.

Image 7: (in white text, on a photo of pieces of chalk arranged in a rainbow on asphalt) Not every queer person’s experiences need to be like yours.

Image 8: (in white text, on a background of shiny, rainbow chunks of metal (?)) Mind your own damn business.

Image 9: (in white text, on a mottled black & rainbow background) Let people change labels.

Image 10: (in white text, on a photo of a full moon in a dark sky) There’s no such thing as not being queer enough.

Image 11: (in white text, on a background of paint strokes in pink, white, magenta, purple and dark blue, the colors of the genderfluid pride flag) Vocabulary is designed to be constantly reinvented as human societies evolve, and labels aren’t the exception.

Image 12: (in white text, on a background of pink, purple, and turquoise) Gatekeeping is a product of privilege.

Here's one more addition per @secretlycrazyhummingbird's suggestion:

[ID: (in white text, over a black background with striking rainbow lights) gatekeepers are nothing but bullies. End ID]

And I'm really glad this post has helped so many people feel a bit less alone in their struggles. Bullies have made a LOT of damage in this community—have made so many of us feel like impostors, like trenders, like maybe we were making up the things we were feeling—and it makes me so happy we're all pushing back against their hateful, narrow-minded, queerphobic rhetoric.
