Not really because I only care about D&D when someone pays me to care about it. I play it maybe twice a year at conventions (or will, whenever conventions exist again) because my partners like it.

If you are not reading @seananmcguire​​, either as Seanan or as Mira Grant, you should do so. Not only is the writing amazing, but you can help her feed her cats. 

If you would like lots of super queer stuff, you should read @thesylverlining​​. Like I could describe it as other things, but it’s SO QUEER and I love it. 

If you want Jewish queerness, and some happy fluffy marshmallow wlw, I recommend @shiraglassman​​. ‘Knit One, Girl Two’ is one of my go-to ‘I need to feel better’ stories, it is a delightful little marshmallow peep of a story and I mean that in all the best ways. 

You could read @thebibliosphere​​‘s stuff on her Patreon.

And lastly, you can get a bunch of queer fiction on my Patreon, too. The entirety of the first book of The Bureau is up there now. :) 

Thank you so much. <3 It’s really an honor to be able to provide something that is so special to the community, and I am really glad that this path opened up for our family. Your kind words are exactly what I needed today. 

Thank you for answering!

Maybe 94?

Oh my gosh I totally missed the notification for this!!

94. Does sex mean love? 

NO IT FUCKING DOES NOT!! Let me tell you a thing: you can easily have sex without love. People do it all the time with hook ups and one night stands. It can also be a really intimate act between two people who are deeply in love. But people can love each other without having sex.

Besides sex, love can be buying something because it made you think of a person. It can be taking out the trash or doing the dishes because they had a long and stressful day/week. It can be cooking their favorite meal or cooking in general. It can be snuggling on the couch or in bed. It can be forehead kisses and muffled giggles into the fabric of shirts.

Love can be hand holding and rubbing your thumb against the back of their hand. It can be a hug that lasts longer than a few seconds and holds them extra tight. Love can be staring at someone’s eyes because you realize more than once how the light shines in them. Love can be tucking a strand of hair that’s fallen loose behind their ear.

Love can be late night conversations or early morning texts. Love can be going on adventures and stargazing. Love can be inside jokes and long looks and the ability to be completely alone when surrounded by a crowd of people. Love can be a package of oreos and a mug of hot chocolate and Netflix. It can be framed pictures and handmade scarves and matching rings/necklaces/bracelets.

Love is thinking of someone even when they’re not around you. Sometimes it’s letting a person go because they need to spread their wings and have their own goals in life. It’s accepting someone for who they are and trusting them.

And in some cases, love means sex and heated breaths and hot touches across skin. It’s sparks of pleasure and quickened heartbeats. It means loving kisses that can get dirty.

Love exists in so many ways. It’s beautiful and breathtaking and can capture everything a person is. Sex does not mean love, but love can mean sex because why would you ever want to reduce something so all-encompassing as love to one moment when there are a thousand different moments love is conveyed and spread throughout the day and throughout your life?

That was deep. The worst and saddest part is that's it's true
