#Got pride ones planned for weeks by now and it's already the 23 and I'm here w okami. Oh well.

[zoekrystall]

Made an okami moodboard for comfort. Such a comfort game since I first stumbled across it. 🌸

Listened to:

番闲 - 仕事してP (Paired wintry wind by Shigotoshite-P)

神のまにまに - rerulili (At god's mercy)

[vaspider]

*exhausted laughter*

So.

I could tell a lot of stories about what got aimed at those of us who simply didn't exclude ace people during those years, but the two biggest ones that stick out to me, beyond what's already been cited, are that I had an older ace person who I'd been friends with for a long time who came to Tumblr specifically to provide cultural context and to talk with younger ace ppl. They'd been part of the queer community for decades and are in their mid 50s now.

They got dogpiled so badly that they quit the site in something like 3 days. Just existing as an older ace was so offensive to people that they started making tons of throwaway accounts to bomb this person with the most foul asks.

The other thing is the constant and consistent harassment I and others got for making Ace Pride items. It didn't matter if you also made other items (especially lesbian pride items, which at the time meant using the ugly-as-sin, hard to make stuff with, made by a racist "lipstick pride" flag that was actually just stolen from a joke "cougar pride" flag made by a morning radio show), if you made ace stuff at all, you'd get a constant stream of harassment.

And for me, it wasn't just me. They harassed my kid, too. At the time MK was 14-17, and they didn't give a fuck that they were harassing a trans girl in the process of coming out. They sent her all kinds of really horrible asks about how she was being raised by an abuser who hates lesbians, a pedophile, etc. She's 23 now, and she learned to let it roll off of her, but she never should have had to go through that.

It didn't matter if you were making free art, or if it were your livelihood. People expected me to spend time making "lesbian pride" art that never sold, and they had no intention of buying, and to not make ace pride stuff that sold like hotcakes. To this day, the ace pride section of our site is one of the top 5 flags (along with Rainbow, Progress, Bi, and Trans). When the Steven Universe episode "Change Your Mind" came out, I was watching it over and over a couple weeks later and made header graphics with the lyrics to the song on it in various Pride colors. I made headers for myself, my partners (including my now-wife who I had just started dating), and my kid, in bi, ace, trans, Rainbow and NBi colors, and put a note on it saying "I made these for me and my partners, I'm going to bed, I'll make some more flags once I get some sleep".

I woke up to a pile of notes yelling at me for not immediately making this free art with the "lesbian flag," even though at that time there were like 8 competing flags, and for making one for "cishet aces". Even though it was in the post that I'd made these with my family's flags and was planning on making others after I, you know, slept. Even though my wife is a trans lesbian. Even though...

It's impossible to underline enough how fucking entitled and cruel many young LGBT+ people were, and how a lot of those people have simply shed their "discourse blogs" like hermit crabs dropping old shells and slid right back into community on here when the ace discourse was "over." None of them have to my knowledge ever apologized, and some of the old bullshit that started during those days still circulates, just metastasized into other, newer bullshit.

A lot of them just turned their ire onto non-binary people or bi people next, when it was no longer "fashionable" to hate ace people.

I don't think younger/newer users fully grasp the shit show that ace discourse was around 2014-17

It was so hostile that, to this day, discussions that begin to derail just enough can make me physically nauseous, some specific mockery trigger crying sessions years later. We lost most accounts with any sort of ace positivity. There was no information, no support, and all this damage was done predominantly by other queer people.

All this to say that you, however you identify yourself, should be engaging with aphobic comments the same way you do any hate. We don't sugarcoat or try to be comprehensive with people who are blatantly racist, homophobic or terfs, so why give it a pass just because it's coming from a queer person? I see how this tolerance goes and it's done enough damage as it is.

New York Nights (4) (Rosénali)

A/N: hey sexies here's chapter four !! I remember being really proud when I wrote this lol, it's about double the length of regular chapters! also thinking about an anarcia au for this universe (just kidding I already wrote chapter one for it) as always thanks to my beta grammarly originally published: May 23, 2022 ----- Chapter Four: Lucky -- "Okay! Today's lesson is almost over, so show me what you've learned! Micah, you're up first!" Denali clapped, watching the seven-year-old skate forward. She had lessons today with her youth class, and she was genuinely impressed with how much they had improved in a few short months. Today, for example, the kids were able to pick up the small routine she made in record time! One after one, the kids performed the short and simple routine, many executed it almost perfectly, which made Denali beam with pride. If things kept up this way, she could plan more complicated routines for exhibition night in a few months. Exhibition night was for the kids to show off what they've learned, it was one of Denali's favorite nights as she got to see just how much her students had grown. She taught a lot of classes, ranging from beginner to more advanced ones, she had to admit she was pretty good at it, too! Her students always showed massive improvement, and it's something she often boasted about. She could tell it now, as the last kid finished up their routine. She clapped, a wide grin across her face. "Amazing job, everyone! You're all picking this up so well! Okay, I'll see you guys next week!" She waved as the gaggle of children made their way to their parents sitting in the stands.

She heard the sound of blades approaching her, "Your kids are getting pretty good, Foxx!" a voice chuckled from behind her. She turned with a grin, greeted by the local hockey coach and Denali's co-worker, Joey Jay. Joey certainly looked like a hockey player, she had her hair in a short tuft she often dyed different colors and you could see the cuts, bruises, and scrapes from other players. "Thanks, Joey! Your team is pretty good this season too, aren't you guys like, what, third in the league?"

"Second if we win this next game!" Joey beamed, obviously proud of her team. She took a drink of the iced coffee she held in her hand, her infamous pre-practice drink. "I'm sure you guys will win, you've never failed them. You train them hard, I can't tell if those are children or beasts!" Joey laughed, glancing over towards the locker room where Denali noticed some kids emerging. "Well, I'll catch you later! Tell the kids I wish them luck, I wish I could stay for the game but I've got some other plans, text me how it goes!" Joey eagerly nodded, before skating over to the other side of the rink where a small group had formed. Denali approached the rink's exit, stepping onto the floor and swiftly unlacing her skates. She and Joey may not be best friends, but the two certainly had formed a friendship of some sort seeing as they always had classes after the other. Slinging her skates over her back, she looked back towards Joey and the group of older kids gathered. The kids were all energetic, that she could tell. Smiling to herself, she left the rink and walked home.

-

The plans she had mentioned beforehand were Jan, Lagoona, and Rosé's performance. A few days had passed since her return to heroing, and she figured a night of relaxing with Jackie would be a nice reward for herself. Jackie had informed her they had formed a group called Stephanie's Child (no, their mother was not named Stephanie). Jackie told her they would be performing at a sort of talent show in a pretty famous nightclub- needless to say, it was a pretty big deal. Denali had texted Jan earlier in the day wishing them good luck and telling her she'd be there. Jan, of course, replied with a flurry of heart emojis and smiley faces. She couldn't lie, she was excited to hear the three girls- obviously, they all had to be talented if they went to school for Theatre, but Denali wanted to judge for herself.

Entering the apartment, she noticed it was not the clean and neat one she had left earlier in the day. There were clothes and hangers strewn everywhere, shoes flung around, and several pieces of jewelry in places they shouldn't be. The apartment looked like it had been torn upside down. "Jackie...?" Denali called out, followed by the clicking of heels as Jackie soon appeared, "What happened?" Jackie looked around, "Oh," she awkwardly stuttered, "I may have spent all day deciding what to wear tonight...I still don't know." Jackie let out a sigh as she looked at the apartment. "Why're you worried about it so much? I'm sure whatever you pick will be fine." Denali picked up a few dresses near her and draped them over her arm, "What? Are you trying to impress Jan?" Jackie went silent as Denali looked toward her. "You are, aren't you?" Jackie nodded her head. "I think...I think I want to ask her out tonight. I really like her."

Denali could see how nervous Jackie was, she sat the dresses down and put a hand on her friend's shoulder. "I don't think you have anything to worry about, have you seen how she looks at you?" Jackie let out a small laugh, "Here, I'll help you pick something out." Jackie and Denali spent the next two hours finding something perfect for her, finally settling on a gold cocktail dress. "It's simple, but I think it's effective." Denali explained as she curled her friend's hair, "She's gonna love it." Denali noticed her smile in the mirror, a soft smile gracing her own face. She believed it would go well, she really did. Jan was going to love Jackie, and Jackie would do the same in return. She was undoubtedly excited for the two.

Next, Denali herself had to get ready as Jackie agreed to clean up her mess. After briefly scanning her own closet, she chose a sparkly dusky pink bodycon dress and complimented it with a simple silver necklace and some rings. Her eye makeup was simple, light pink eyeshadow with eyeliner, nothing too fancy. Looking at herself in the mirror, she smiled. She kept her hair down as she already didn't have too much time, but it ended up going great with the look. She shot herself a wink in the mirror as she left her room. In the living room, she found Jackie already finished cleaning up and adjusting her necklace. She caught Denali's eye and cooed, "You look so good! I'm sure Rosé will love it." She shot her a wink, and Denali was suddenly reminded of the girl she would have to see, dread filling her body. It took every fiber in her to not audibly groan.

'It won't be too bad,' she thought, 'I just have to play nice. That can't be too hard!' Collecting their things, the two were quickly out of their apartment and off to this club. Jackie briefed her a bit before they arrived, the club was called 'Lucky' co-owned by two women named Symone and Mik, whose names Denali vaguely recognized. Jackie took the liberty of briefing her on the two. Symone Avalon was a famous actress and was currently one of Hollywood's most booked. Mik Gottlieb was the twin sister of Kade Gottlieb, a famous fashion designer. Jackie described Mik as a gorgeous model who had walked in several big-name fashion shows and was signed under the infamous Violet Chachki. Due to their status, the two were very rarely in town to run their club, leaving it to their second in command, a woman named Kandy Muse.

-

After Jackie finished giving Denali the proper amount of exposition, the two reached the club. It was a giant building sandwiched between two others with a neon sign above the door. In a nearby window hung an advertisement for tonight's talent show, showcasing some of the performers. They were fairly early (aka 3 hours early) so the line was next to none, only a few people ahead of them. "Jan gave us some kind of special tickets, I'm not sure what they do, though." Jackie pulled her purse open and dug around, pulling out two silvery glitter tickets after a few seconds. She handed one to Denali, who carefully read it. 'Performers Guest', she read, she flipped it over to read 'free drinks and free entrance'. She showed it to Jackie, who grinned, "I'll have to keep an eye on you," she laughed, "we both know how you get with alcohol in you!" Denali rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah, whatever." Soon enough, the two reached the front of the line, Jackie showed the bouncer the tickets she had, and he pulled out two wristbands the same color as the tickets. They thanked him and quickly escaped inside.

The club seemed larger inside than it was outside. The stage was decently sized, and she spotted several people messing with technical things. There was a giant dance floor in the middle and booths around the edge of the club. The bar also looked expensive- it was glittery silver with a large collection of alcohol on the shelf behind it. Denali promised herself she wouldn't drink too much that night, but that bar might have just changed her mind. "Damn, this place is fancy." Denali exhaled, glancing up at the glittering chandelier, "Is this even a club?" Jackie nodded, also impressed. "I feel underdressed," Jackie whispered to her, pulling her dress down, Denali glanced down at her own garment and felt the same. "Could you move that a little to the left?" A voice called out from somewhere around them.

The two glanced to their left as a Puerto Rican woman walked toward the stage. She had gorgeous wavy blonde hair and wore a simple yellow dress, cinched at the waist. "Is this good, ma'am?" One of the men on stage called. The woman gave an approving nod before she glanced toward Jackie and Denali. "Oh! Welcome to Lucky, my name is Kandy Muse, I run the club when Symone and Mik are gone!" Kandy made her way over to the two, shaking their hands. "We never really have people come in this early!" Jackie laughed, "Sorry about that, I'm Jackie, and this is Denali, some of our friends are performing tonight. We wanted to make sure we got here early!" Kandy grinned, "That's lovely! Who are you supporting tonight?" "They're called Stephanie's Child if I remember correctly. Hi, I'm Denali!" She introduced herself to Kandy. "Oh! We love them! We've had them perform a few times before, always a delight!". Somewhere else, a voice called for Kandy, "Well, I better go. I hope you two have fun tonight! I'll be hosting, so I hope I'll see y'all around!" And with that, Kandy was off to whatever she had to fix.

"She seems very nice, very professional," Jackie commented, Denali nodding in agreement. The two chose a booth and chatted for a while, after an hour more people began to show up, and the tech crew finished setting up. "You excited?" Jackie questioned her, "I am. I wonder who else is here to perform." Denali replied, looking towards the stage. "Well, we'll find out soon enough. We've only got...an hour and a half until it starts." Denali let out a sigh, twirling her hair on her finger. "Oh, c'mon, it won't be that bad! If we talk to each other it'll go by fast!" And so, they did. Jackie rambled on about her recent favorite show for a good while, with Denali nodding along even though she didn't know much about Star Trek.

-

Soon enough, more people began to fill the club, and it became 30 minutes until the events start time. A bit before, Denali and Jackie had made their way toward the stage and settled themselves into the crowd. The two danced with each other, having fun and letting go of their worries. The lights were off now, and blue and orange spotlights turned on in their place, filling the room they were in. The two lost track of time, losing themselves in the environment around them. It made Denali realize how much she missed going out. She was teaching Jackie a dance move when all of a sudden, the lights cut out for a second, then reappeared on the stage in front of them. In the spotlight stood Kandy, now changed into a sparkly yellow tank top and yellow flare pants.

"Hey, yall!" Her voice boomed from the stage, and all of the patrons around the girls started screaming and going wild. "Who's excited for talent niiiiiight?" The crowd screamed again, Denali and Jackie joining in. "Okay, that's what I like to hear! Well then, without further introduction, here we have our first act- Bosco!"

Kandy Muse disappeared off stage as a tall woman sauntered on stage. She had short black hair and wore a rose dress. Some people from the crowd seemed to recognize her, loudly cheering when she appeared. She waited until the crowd had quieted down, and with a snap of her fingers, the once yellow spotlight had changed into a soft white one. Soft, sensual music played over the speakers as Bosco began a burlesque number. Denali was enthralled, but Jackie was less interested. There was no denying it, though, Bosco was certainly good at what she did. Each piece taken off gained an even louder amount of cheers, the loudest of which came at the end of her performance as she revealed her last trick.

Denali clapped and hollered with the others as the woman made her way off stage, sending a wink toward someone in the crowd. Kandy reappeared once more, giving the crew time to set up for the next performance as she entertained the crowd. Denali and Jackie were having a fantastic time, Kandy was a great host, and the acts were just as good. Several more performed, including a magician that pulled Denali on stage to demonstrate a trick. She loved it. Before long, Kandy announced the seventh act: Stephanie's Child.

Pink, blue, and purple lights flooded the stage as Kandy left. She saw three women make their way out, Denali and Jackie screaming the loudest they ever had. The lights came up as the girls got into position. A girl with blonde hair and blue streaks held a white electric guitar. Denali assumed this must be Lagoona, the middle sister. On the left side of the stage was Jan, her purple outfit standing out against the white drum set she was stationed at. She heard Jackie gasp beside her, as she grabbed Denali's arm to steady herself. In the middle of it all, at the mic, Denali found Rosé. Her pink hair was pulled into a ponytail, and her matching suit complimented her body in all the right places. Denali felt heat rising to her cheeks, she couldn't even deny how good the other girl looked. "How's everyone doing tonight?" The crowd screamed in response. Rosé laughed, and Denali's heart fluttered. "I hope you're all ready to rock-" another cheer interrupted her, "well, without further ado, TAKE IT AWAY JAN!"

The three launched into their first song, the crowd eagerly cheering. The song was upbeat, with Lagoona leading the vocals. Her voice was amazing. Denali was blown away by all of them. Jan was fantastic at the drums, Lagoona was excellent with the guitar, and Rosé- even if she wasn't the featured singer- sounded amazing. Denali and Jackie screamed along as the song continued, only stopping to catch their breath once it was over. Jan and Rosé switched places, Rosé now fiddling with some part of the drum set while Jan adjusted the height of the mic. In a few seconds, Jan led them into a soft and hearty slow song. Jackie and Denali danced with each other during the song, others in the crowd either doing the same or swaying. "Damn, Jan's a good singer," Denali said, looking toward Jackie. However, Jackie was looking at the stage, "Yeah. Yeah, she is." She breathed out, and Denali could practically see the adoration in her eyes.

After Jan, Lagoona took the mic to sing, Jan was now on guitar. Lagoona had a stunning voice, they all did, but this song especially complimented her own voice. It was beautifully written as well, Denali was hooked in an instant. The song finished far too soon, the girls taking in the applause before Lagoona spoke. "Alright, you guys! We've got just one more song for you all, are you enjoying the performance so far?" The crowd went wild. "Well, that's great! Rosie, come do your shit!" she yelled, switching places with Rosé.

"This song is dedicated to my favorite double date partner, so everyone, have a good time!" Somehow Rosé found Denali in the crowd and sent her a wink. Her face flushed as Rosé began her song. The song was sultry and, well, sexy. Denali hated to admit just how much she enjoyed the other girls singing, worsened by the fact that the song was dedicated to her. Jackie was freaking out beside her, shaking Denali as the girl hid her blushing face in her hands. "Denali! Oh my god!" Jackie cried out in excitement. Denali lifted her head from her hands, eyes glued to the stage as she watched Rosé perform. She couldn't deny it- Rosé was hot. She moved her hips in time to the music, making Denali even more of a mess. She couldn't think straight, entranced by the other woman. The worst part was that she was watching Denali the whole time, evident when she shot a smirk at her. She didn't know how, but to Denali, it felt like the only people in the room right now were the two of them, despite the hundreds of other people around her, she blocked them out. The fluttering feeling in Denali's stomach returned as she looked toward the girl on the stage.

'Oh, shit.' she thought, 'I like her, oh god.'

'No you don't,' she argued with herself, 'she's just hot. You can't have a crush on someone who's a villain.'

-

The song ended soon after, but the butterflies in her stomach still persisted, despite her internal fighting. 'You just feel sick,' she rationalized, 'that's all.' There was one act after Stephanie's Child, a girl named Olivia Lux playing a few songs on the piano and singing. It was a nice decompressor for Denali, giving her a chance to calm down from earlier. Soon the talent show ended, and Kandy announced their local DJ would be taking over, thunderous applause for her as she left the stage. Denali and Jackie made their way back to their booth to wait on the three girls. It didn't take long for Jan to find them, shortly followed by Rosé. Jan quickly took the seat next to Jackie, the two girls chattering on and on, showering the other with compliments such as 'you sounded so good!' 'you look amazing!' and more. "Ugh, gag, right?" A voice behind her laughed, and turning her face she was greeted by Rosé.

"I think they're cute," she defended, "maybe a little mushy, but cute!"

Rosé laughed, the butterflies making a return, much to Denali's annoyance. She remembered she had to play nice while the other two were here, she gave a small exhale before pushing down her 'sickness'. The other two didn't even acknowledge them, so Denali turned to Rosé, "You guys were great, I didn't realize you all were so talented!" That wasn't a lie, they were all extremely talented, and even though she disliked the other girl, she couldn't deny it.

"Mom made sure we all knew several instruments, I took to some more than others. Not to brag, but I'm quite good at the guitar." Denali rolled her eyes, as Rosé boasted. "What? Don't laugh! I am! Just ask Jan," she turned to her sister for support, but Jan and Jackie were completely enamored with each other, "okay, never mind there then. I could totally serenade you! Seriously!"

Denali burst out in laughter, "I'd love to see you try." Rosé gasped in fake hurt, "I could! Please, you'd love it, I saw how red you were when I was singing!" Her voice became low and teasing. Denali choked, the heat in her face rushing back. Rosé grinned, satisfied, and she turned to Jan. "Jan, Denali and I would love to talk to Jackie too if you don't mind." Jan turned away, flustered, "You could've said so earlier!" The table, minus Jan, laughed. Denali noticed how flustered Jackie looked though.

"Hey," Denali piped up, "where's Lagoona? I wanted to compliment her on the performance!" Jan and Rosé looked at each other, Rosé giving her a small nod. "Goona's busy with something at the moment, she said she'll be out soon!"

True to their word, Lagoona made her way over to their booth about five minutes later. "Lagoona! It's so nice to meet you! You did fantastic out there!" Denali beamed, standing up and offering a handshake. Lagoona accepted, "Oh, you flatter me! Thank you, I assume you're Denali? Rosé talks about you quite often." She saw Rosé roll her eyes, making a face at Lagoona. They all sat down at the booth and talked for quite a while, Jackie occasionally making a run to go get them all drinks. It was fun, the group setting eased Denali's stomach and edge as the group settled into a rhythm.

"Oh my god, I love this song! Jan, come dance with me!" Jackie suddenly piped up, grabbing Jan by the hand and dragging her to the dance floor. Knowing what was probably about to happen, Denali mouthed her a 'good luck!' as the two became lost in the crowd. "Who do you think is gonna ask out the other first?" Lagoona asked the two of them.

"Jan."

"Jackie."

Rosé and Denali replied, the other glancing at the other. "You're both wrong! They're going to do it at the same time, duh!" Lagoona teased. The three of them continued chatting before some of Lagoona's friends dragged her over to dance with them. So...now it was just her and Rosé. Denali adverted her attention towards her drink, trying to ignore the woman sitting beside her.

"I haven't run into you in a while," Rosé began, forcing Denali to shift her eyes to the woman next to her, "scared I'd kick your ass again?" Denali groaned, "No, I've just had better things to do. My life doesn't revolve around you, despite what your ego might tell you." Rosé laughed, "Feisty, I like it! How'd you like it if I treated you to a dance, hmmm?"

"I'd hate it."

"Aren't you supposed to play nice with me? I'll show you a good time, doll, I promise. Just one, our friends are expecting it!" Rosé pitched, standing up and offering her hand to Denali. The girl considered for a moment, before reluctantly taking her hand. Rosé grinned as she pulled her to the dance floor.

-

The two danced for a few songs, and Denali reluctantly had to admit that she had fun. Rosé was a great dancer, almost as good as herself! Denali even forgot for a moment that she was dancing with someone who had knocked her out a week prior, but all of that seemed to disappear. Was she becoming soft on her? She didn't know. Eventually, the two were joined by Lagoona, who excitedly told them she had been right, Jan told her the two had confessed at the same time. The rest of the night was a joy, Jan and Jackie eventually returned to the group where they drank, danced, and talked the rest of the night.

-

Jackie and Denali returned home around 3 in the morning, both extremely tired and delirious. Jackie immediately made her way to bed, wishing Denali goodnight before she passed out. Denali herself was only barely able to get ready for bed before passing out in her own bed. However, in her tiredness, Denali missed a letter for her on the counter. Sealed in a simple white envelope addressed to her in simple handwriting was an urgent message from Katya Zamolodchikova, the mayor of New York City.
