#I DIDNT CHECK THIS FOR GRAMMAR BTW

[emails-i-cant-send]

hey! you totally don’t have to answer if you don’t feel comfortable, but do you think joshua bassett is in a safe place right now? the church is clearly anti- lgbtqia+, and i’m worried abt his safety and well-being, given his past statements on maybe being a part of the queer community himself

Im queer and Christian myself, i think in a lot of situations being queer and Christian can be dangerous but there are people out there who are accepting and don't have a problem with queer people. You also don't always have to practice Christianity within a church, most people do but me and parts of my family practice outside of the church. A lot of queer people do too because of how homophobic the church can be. You don't have to give up your faith if youre queer. And I would also like to mention that Christianity isn't against queer people. A lot of believe that the Bible was either purposefully changed to say being gay was a sin or it was mistranslated. I think he is in a safe place btw. He seems happier now than he has been the past few months. He hasn't shared much recently but seeing him happy at Disneyland with a fan assured me that he's doing better. He has been through absolute hell and back the past 3 years and he finally seems to be doing better. He has a new manager and a new outlook on life. He has tour coming up and possibly an album!! That's for sure when we'll get to see more of how he's doing. I think we should also let him be. I'm assuming you decided to ask me about this because of my post saying to stop making the conversion camp jokes and saying queer people can't be Christian. When i first realized I was queer the first questions that came to mind were "can I be queer and Christian?" There's 2 part to this question. Is Christianity ok with me being queer? I decided that yes God loves everybody and doesn't care if I'm bisexual. The second part made me uncomfortable for the longest time because of how queer people talked about Christianity and religion in general. I understand that many people have religious trauma but there are ways to talk about it and acknowledge that a lot of religions are very harmful to queer people a lot of the time without making people who are religous and queer feel uncomfortable within their own community. As a young queer person I felt so confused and i felt for the people who had strong feelings about Christianity but at the same time I wanted to continue being Christian. I sound very holy rolly saying this but i feel this way because of how strongly it affected me and how much i know it's affected others. I think we need to learn to be kinder and more accepting. I hope josh feels loved and happy and knows everything about his identity is valid. He's had an amazing impact on my life thorugh his music and words. So yeah I think he's safe and in a good place as long as he's surrounded by people who love him <3

Edit: in light of some of his new posts some of my opinions have changed

Based on this post by @modernday-jay. Someone had to make Alfred’s dream of fucking a cat boy come true, right?

-> pet play, Allen’s outfit is Alfred's streamer merch shirt from the drawing + a set of cat ears and a tail with a plug (x), there’s absolutely no plot happening here lmao, this is pretty fluffy I only added little bit of a size kink, and something you could count as feminisation I guess? enjoy!

“This is what you wanted, right?“ Allen carefully lifted Alfred’s chin up with one hand, prying his boyfriend’s eyes away from the oversized t-shirt that barely kept him decent. The fluffy cat ears crowning his head were a little darker than his hair colour, the matching tail tickling his thighs a melange of darker and lighter fur, making it look like it could be an actual part of his body.

Alfred’s hands had both been resting on Allen’s hips while he had tried to comprehend what a lucky person he was, but now one hand slowly sneaked down to play with the hem of Allen’s t-shirt. Oh. Alfred’s breath hitched when he noticed the lack of underwear beneath his merchandise shirt that Allen wore.

“Babe..”

“Hmm?”

Allen swayed his hips playfully and captured Alfred’s lips in a sweet kiss that ended way too soon for Alfred’s liking. He pulled Allen closer and tilted his head slightly, but before he had the chance to steal another kiss, Allen pushed him onto the bed. Alfred didn’t resist at all, he rather welcomed it when Allen crawled on top of him.

“I’m your little kitty tonight, Alfred.”

“God. Allen.. you’re perfect.”

Alfred squeezed Allen’s ass for emphasis, making the boy on top of him gasp when the plug inside him shifted. Slowly, Allen leant down, closing in on Alfred who watched him with hooded eyes, expecting to feel his boyfriend’s soft lips on his again at any moment.

“I’m your cat boy..”

Allen quickly changed his target and instead of a kiss onto his lips, Alfred got little licks on his cheek and Allen pawing at the strings of his hoodie.

“..play with me!”

The sound of Allen’s giggles were overshadowed by a playful groan from Alfred, who quickly pulled Allen closer and rolled them over. As soon as their positions were reversed and Alfred hovering above Allen with one knee spreading his legs, Allen shot Alfred a challenging look. He gave the strings of his hoodie another lazy swat before using them to pull Alfred closer.

"Babe this is-"

"Everything you dreamed of? I know, now play with me."

Alfred gasped when he felt Allen's skilled fingers palming him through his boxers and praised the lord he had been too lazy to put on sweatpants when only his upper half was visible during his streams. He finally had the opportunity to steal the kiss he had been longing for since their lips had parted and immediately took it. Earlier it had been merely a quick brush of their lips, but this time he made sure that it was a lot more than that.

Allen shared Alfred's desire for more, sucking on Alfred's bottom lip and coaxing him into parting them. The light pressure of Alfred's thigh between his legs increased as they deepened their kiss and Allen arched his back, causing his t-shirt to ride up his stomach. The friction of Alfred's bare thigh rubbing against his dick drew a moan from Allen. He quickly slipped his hand beneath the waistband of Alfred's boxers and swallowed the little noise of surprise he made.

"This is so hot. The ears... and tail... and my shirt...," Alfred panted between the open mouthed kisses he placed from Allen's cheek down his neck, "Please tell me you're... you're-"

"Wet and ready for you?" The next words were replaced by little whines as Alfred nipped and bit at Allen's neck, leaving dark marks on his sun kissed skin. "Yes..." Allen managed to speak in a strained voice, "'course I am..."

The prospect of having Allen beneath him, before him, on top of him... no just having Allen with wearing his merch and with the cutest cat ears, little bells jinging with every bounce or thrust..."Fuck..." Alfred bucked his hips into Allen's hand that had a tight grip around the base of his cock.

Allen closed his eyes, focusing on the waves of pleasure jolting through his body from Alfred nibbling his throat and stroking Alfred to full hardness. "Fuck, indeed." Allen’s own arousal grew with Alfred’s erection, the sensation of how big Alfred felt in his hand being something he would never get tired of. Every thrust into his hand only made Allen's craving for the plug inside him to be replaced by his boyfriend's cock increase and he turned his head to trick Alfred into another deep kiss.

"Alfred, please..." Allen ceased the strokes and instead used both his hands to pull down Alfred's boxers in a swift movement. Alfred’s eyes fluttered open as he reluctantly pulled away to get rid of his boxers as well as the hoodie and the t-shirt underneath.

When Allen sat up to take off his shirt as well Alfred grabbed his hands to push him back onto the bed instead, the little bells on the cat ears jingling as his head hit the pillow. “Leave it on, okay?” Allen would have quipped something back, but only shivered at how velvety and deep Alfred’s voice sounded. It was almost a growl.

Before Allen could nod his head, Alfred suddenly took a hold of both his legs and bent them back so Allen’s knees were nearly at level with his head. Maybe on a different day he would have complained, but the way Alfred mustered him, from the fluffy ears crowning his head to the crumpled shirt that had ridden up enough to hardly cover anything anymore, and the little trail of hair leading the way down from Allen’s belly button to his lower stomach where his hard-on was waiting to get some attention.

But the final thing that Alfred couldn’t pull his gaze from was the long, soft cat tail splayed out on the mattress between Allen’s legs and ending in a bright pink butt plug that he was now lightly pressing a little deeper into Allen, making him squirm and moan as he grasped the sheets.

Alfred chuckled and tugged at the plug just to push it back in again. “Does it feel that good?”

Allen tried to buck into the little thrusts his boyfriend gave him with the plug, but Alfred never let him get it in as deep as before. “Not as good as your dick, big boy.” His tone was more desperate than he had wished, but at this point Allen just hoped Alfred would finally fuck him.

“But the tail looks so cute on you,” Alfred gushed, “and you’re my poor little meow-meow!”

Allen let out a frustrated sigh and reached out to grab one Alfred’s wrist, giving him a stern look. “Alfred, I love you, but this ‘little meow-meow’ is going to bite you of you keep teasing.”

Alfred’s cheeks turned red as he muttered an apology and tugged at the plug again, his time slowly pulling it out completely. He watched Allen clench around nothing when it was removed, some lub from putting it in was oozing out of his hole. “Wow, you weren’t lying when you said you’re wet.”

“Alfred..” Allen rolled his eyes with a smile on his lips and pulled Alfred down into another breathtaking kiss. “Please.. Shut up and fuck me.”

Alfred shot him a billion dollar smile as he lined himself up, but couldn’t bite back a witty comment as he finally eased his cock into Allen.

“Anything for my sweet kitty!”

I find it so funny how white people are getting so angry and defensive about the term “Karen”. They’re getting so up in arms about why it’s offensive and rude and deragatory, and it’s such a joke.

White people have never/rarely been discriminated against. We’ve never been put down, or denied basic human rights, or straight up shot just for being a different color. But now that “Karen” exists, suddenly racism and discrimination is such a big deal, and “we should’nt be so rUde to people just because they look different!”

First of all, are you kidding me? Where were white people when this was (and still is!) happening to literally Any Other Race? With terms that, y’know, are actually racist?

Where was our crying and complaining when Arabs were being called terrorists just for existing? When black people were being called the n-word for simply being in view? When any other race was being called and accused of being something terrible, all because they were there and white people needed entertainment?

Even if you want to use the arguement of “Karen” being used as a blanket term for all white women “because it’s a white name”. What about when every black person was being called Jequande or Ladasha; when every Hispanic person was being called Conseula or Jose; honestly I can go on and on. There’s no end to racism against others by us.

What I’m trying to say is, things never seem to become a “problem” until it troubles white people.

Also, if you're of one nationality and your story is set in another country, do a bit of due diligence about that country's policing/security services medical/fire fighting/ambulance/military agencies if you'll be including them in your story.

So I met this girl on tinder back in January and honestly she was not really my type, but I dont know she felt right on the moment.Started chatting and we clicked immeadiately, we could chat for hours and everything felt right you know. We found out we had mutual friends, had a lot in commom but not too much to be copies of each other. I always had trouble with expectations and fantasizing, so I kept myself in check for most of the time.But our free times didnt really matched, I decided i didnt wanna go to college since my area that really isnt needed (im a graphic designer btw, just study a lot by myself through books and other technical courses), and she was still on School (shes 17 and Im 18 dont worry), our plans never seemed to work out so we just sticked to online chatting.I started to have feelings for her and immeadiately thought I had to ask her that if she wasnt really feeling me anymore, she could just tell me right away, since I was already hurt by people baiting me into "yeah I dont like but was afraid to tell you that so I just went with the flow". She told me she would but probably wasnt going to happen since she really liked meMind You, I never had a relationship, never had sex, never had my first kiss, never really holded hands with anyone (justification for all of that is a story for another day). So this whole thing was going pretty well and I loved itEventually we went on two dates, I was really nervous since I dont really have a lot of experience with this kind of stuff. We didnt kiss because both of us werent really comfortable with it yet. But we talked for hours on end and everything seemed to go fine.A little over a month ago, she messaged me about her carnival experiences and how she felt really bad about her romantic decisions. I laughed at the matter but was a little worried about what she had to say. She told me about always having this "poor taste" in men, since she always liked the guys that were bad people and "good" people she just didnt want nothing with them.At that point I understood where she was going. I then asked "soooo let me guess, i fit the second criteria". She responds with "yeah... quite a lot actually. I dont know, you are just so good and perfect that I dont really feel things for you"My heart dropped in that instant. Completely broken. But I just awnsered "oh, you could have told me that earlier". "Yeah, but I was afraid to hurt you"I cried that day, im a really sensitive dude as you can tell. I moved on but I just wanted to know. What do you guys think. Did she use me or something like that? Did she lose interest along the way but didnt know how to say it? Or she just use an cheap excuse because whatever?I am seeing someone nowadays, but this event keeps reapearing in my sleepless nights.Im Brazillian by the way so if some grammar is f'd up in some way tell me! Thank for your time via /r/dating_advice

ok here's the whole dream post i wrote up when i woke up, with only slight grammar edits

warning for violence, suicidal idealization, unreality, ect.

had a nightmare, woke up, and forgot what it was.

F

NO WAIT REMEMBER.

me and my family were the last "emotional" humans left (at least in our particular area) and the more "tactical" humans were trying to eradicate us like they had presumably killed/converted the rest. I can't really explain what the others were like, but they lacked sentimentality and got mad when I tried to show them a picture I cared about bc they didnt get it. 

My family (btw, not entirely comprised of my real family) has been hidden for a while but they suddenly show up and try to get in. We start trying to find all our weapons. I go up stairs, a girl that i do not know informs me that I boy I do not know (both of whom are presumed family) has died at the window. I take his weapon as the girl runs from the room. I stare one of these "tactical" humans in the eyes as I shoot the one in front of her. They are all inexplicably children.

I head down stairs, the floor is empty. I check every door until I get to the one that is locked--the laundry. My family has shoved themselves into the washing machine and dryer. I try to get in to they dryer and the person who is a stand in for my dad is in there. I force myself in and close the door. I asked the person playing my father not to kill themselves, to let them kill us so that there is not chance we will go to hell. I tell the person playing my father i love them, and then yell it to my entire family.

Then I hear them come into the house--the other humans. I hope they skim past the laundry but that is the first place they open. I hear a voice contemplate turning the dryer on for a spin, hoping it would kill whatever germs lay inside. I think, I don't want to die like this--I wanted them to shoot me dead.

I burst out of the dryer. Then ensues an uncomfortable oddly dehumanizing pseudo interrogation--part way through they give me a bag from my mailbox. It is a christmas package sent by family that lives in puerto rico. I start to cry as i go through it, knowing they are likely dead. The others stare at me, and my mother sends me a warning look. I think, the others might kill me if i get too emotional.

then i think i woke up.
