Envy looked up in confusion.

Gluttony gestured to the infant nestled in Envy’s arms.

“I’ve had human before,” they said. “It’s not bad. Like pork. I bet a little one would be soft. Like veal.”

Gluttony ran their tongue over a set of rotten teeth. Gray and emaciated, they always had a pinched, hungry look about them.

“I could take it off your hands, if you want.”

Envy stalked off with the child, unsure where to go next. If this was the advice Gluttony had to give, imagine what Wrath would have to say. Or Lust. Envy shuddered.

Keep up the great work, I see all of the effort you’re putting in and it’s incredible.

homophobia isn’t always “gay people suck”. a lot of the time it isn’t that at all.

it’s “keep it to yourself”.

it’s “you’re straight until proven otherwise”.

it’s straight women claiming that lesbians have it easier.

it’s “I don’t mind gay people, but I don’t want them in the same changing room as me”.

it’s thousands of tiny little things that are varying levels of noticeable. homophobia can be subtle in the same ways as all other discrimination can be subtle.
