i have not! though im not a fan of shipping shiro with the others :P 

Literally thought I had IBS but noooo just anxiety

Unless you’ve noticed excessive heating in the mouse pad area, a general slow down in performance, or another problem besides just the track pad, then I don’t think there should be any huge concern

Dude i woke up two nights ago with one partially down my throat that had somehow come undone from the hooks like idk

They looked up at the sky, letting their face be illuminated by the moonlight, relishing in the beauty of the clear night sky. Their hair blew gently in the wind, auburn waves flying in front of their face like ocean crests, and they moved a hand through it in an attempt to tame the wild locks. Their eyes were wide with curiosity, the light blue irises looking as if they held the stars from the reflection of the sky.

I just have to say for all of my fellow pans struggling to come out to family members that i completely understand, but i did it. I came out to my first family member, my really close cousin.

She is 24 and she was taking me to breakfast. As most older relatives do, they tell you humiliating stories about their teenage years as a comedy life lesson. My cousin was talking about how while abstinence until marriage is bogus, you need to be comfortable and a lot of the times, men don’t take that into account. She said the whole ‘don’t waste your time on boys’ spiel, and gosh dang it, i saw my chance.

Now, mind you, i was planning on telling her almost three months before this point, but social anxiety and the stress of labeling myself anything other than heterosexual in a very strict family was terrifying. But when she said that, i knew what i had to do:

“Well, i sorta.. Like girls too. Equally. As well as any gender.” (Im a cis female so it was already assumed i liked males)

And guess what? She just rolled with it.

“See, thats great. Stick with somebody who wont get you pregnant.” And she went on talking from there. I was in shell shock, expecting some sort of interrogation or at least some questions! But she adapted instantly, and i am moreover grateful.

I know for a lot of pans and other LGBTQA+ people, coming out to family is an entire world different from friends. You’re stuck with family regardless of what they think, and you love them dearly. I also know that i am extremely fortunate to have such an awesome cousin. But, if you’re trying to gather up some courage to tell somebody you love, consider this a little push. I know you can do it.
