EGO RENEGADE THING

whenever I tell a story I feel like Uncle Colm from Derry Girls

tshd started out as a seemingly sad manga about a gay teen who lost his best friend and now has to experience the Horrors then BOOM! you were wrong. it's a hopeful story that tells you that there's always a way for you to be happy AND queer. you have a way out even in the worst scenarios. you deserve hope and happiness and to be with who you love. you deserve to exist without hiding. happy pride to yoshikaru

Basically I think a lot of White ppl think the antithesis to racism is "Black people are inherently Cool, White people are inherently Lame" and it's just very hard to convince them that this is also extremely racist lmfao

It's the combination of "seeing a racialized group as Fundamentally Inherently Good is still dehumanizing and you aren't seeing them as people" and "your self-flagellating White guilt is extremely annoying for the people of color around you to deal with"

suddenly realized that cheating as a fun sexy fiction trope holds zero appeal for me for the opposite reason that most other people usually have for disliking it, namely that I am simply too polyamorous to feel in any way emotionally moved by the taboo and thrill of breaking exclusivity. it's just nothing to me, it's a magic circle I've never stepped in, and the narrative usually expects the audience to already implicitly understand why this conflict matters and thus doesn't spend time getting you invested.

pulling yourself up by your strap-on or whatever they say
