ユリの迷路🌕🍓

Without thinking, Idia peeled his hoodie off in one fluid motion— thankfully the inside was still warm and dry— and stepped in close. Riddle blinked up at him, startled, but didn’t move away as Idia gently settled the hoodie around his shoulders.

“There,” Idia muttered, eyes darting anywhere but Riddle’s face. “Y-you can have it.”

Riddle's hands instinctively reached up to grip the front of the hoodie. It was obviously too big for him. He was basically drowning in it, the hem reaching well below his shorts, making him look even smaller. He looked down at himself, then up at Idia. A flush bloomed across his cheeks.

“You’re not cold?” he asked, tilting his head.

“I-I'm good,” Idia said quickly, waving him off. “Still got long sleeves underneath, see?” He tugged at the edge of his shirt. “Awkward outfit choice finally pulled its weight."

Riddle smiled then. A small, fond smile that made warmth bloom in Idia’s chest. Then, Riddle reached up, hesitantly at first, and touched Idia’s bangs where they hung limp and dripping. His fingers brushed them aside, gentle and curious.

“Your hair,” Riddle murmured. “When it’s wet, it looks… less like it's burning. More like it’s… well. Hair.”

Idia stared at him.

“You thought it’d do what in the rain?” he managed after a second. “Like, dissolve? Sizzle off and reveal I’ve been bald this whole time?”

Riddle covered his mouth with his hand to hide his laugh, but it spilled out anyway, clear and bright. It made Idia’s chest ache.

“Sorry,” he said between chuckles. “It’s just a funny image.”

Then Riddle’s smile faded into something softer. His cheeks were pink, his eyes bright. He stepped closer. The space between them felt charged.

Riddle tilted his face up and, voice small but clear, said, “Kiss me.”

step 1: pretend to be a gay lunatic (he already was a gay lunatic)

step 2: throw step 1 out of the window as soon as someone disrespects the lan clan (his life-long crush's clan)

step 3: play the flute (the instrument well known as the yiling patriarch's spiritual weapon of choice)

step 4: summon the ghost general (the yiling patriarch's right hand man)

step 5: play a song composed by hanguang-jun that only him and the yiling patriarch have ever heard

I am begging the UK trans community and its allies to attend the Mass Lobby at Parliament on June 25th, 11am-4pm, organised by Trans Solidarity Alliance.

The new EHRC Code of Practice pushes trans people out of toilets, hospital wards, and community spaces. It normalises gender policing based on appearance and stereotypes. It becomes statutory guidance in the UK by the end of June.

Trans people are now legally their assigned gender at birth and must join gendered spaces accordingly, but if they are perceived as their lived gender, they can also be ejected from those spaces. The guidance says: either break the law, or don’t pass too well.

A mass lobby is where you invite your MP to discuss your concerns with you in-person. Ask your MP to:

Demand full parliamentary scrutiny, debate, and use their free vote on the EHRC Code of Practice.

Support any motions rejecting the EHRC guidance. As of June 4th, Labour MP Nadia Whittome has submitted a prayer motion - Early Day Motion 240.

Write to Bridget Phillipson, the Minister for Women and Equalities about our concerns

Your MP does not have to be an ally, they do not have to respond to your email for you to show up and greencard them (details below the cut.) What matters is that as many people as possible show up.

I cannot stress this enough: Showing up in person matters. It is much more effective than petitions, emails, and letters.

It is a horrible, stressful time, and I am so sorry if you're trans and live in the UK. But I was at last year's mass lobby and the line for greencarding alone stretched around the back gates. It was a record breaking mass lobby and made us impossible to ignore. Let's do even better this time. Details under the cut:
