Finallly getting around to watching Hostel: Part III, because I'm curious and needed something low effort to watch. I promise I'm fighting my instinct to like it, because I loathe Hostel, and I've heard that Hostel fans don't like this one.

Words can't describe how much I resent having to "read in between the lines" for queer representations in mainstream media. Especially given how the very little mlm shit we get is purposefully designed for gays to notice but make us look delusional to cishet people when we point it out.

why do you think I don't see it? did I not spend years telling you I wasn't getting better enough for you, and then I let you convince me otherwise? no, I don't think that's your fault. it's all my fault. I fucking know. I haven't asked for your pity, I haven't asked for forgiveness, I've left you alone as much as I possibly can. agonizing daily on how to limit my impact on you. I tore myself apart and looked inward to see what was left. "I think I'll be alright" is me saying I won't end my existence with the hope that I can become a better person. I want you to be okay, I want you to be happy and to leave behind everything I gave you. I wish I could tell you all this but it'd just confirm what you think of me. It's okay, if that's what gets you through. If that helps you leave me behind, good. Please just don't treat me like I'm less than human if you're there that day. I've spent the last year keeping my head above the water, and wondering if I deserve that effort. you don't get to decide that I don't deserve to grow. I don't want anything from you except to be humane. put me down like a dog in your mind, but don't treat me like a corpse in real life. I don't think you will, but I've never been on your other side before. I never meant to hurt you. I will regret it forever. I've never lied to you. you know me well enough to know I'm telling the truth, I think. you're the only person I've never lied to. if you believe me one more time, let this be it. I've made so many mistakes, and I'm sorry that you were subjected to so many of them. I'm sorry. I can't make up for it, and I know that. I don't know why I'm writing this. I'm sorry. I'm not angry with you, even if you think I am. I'm not mad. I don't think you owe me anything. I don't feel like the victim. I'm trying, and I don't know if you'll ever know but I do it anyways. you didn't deserve that, you're not crazy. thank you for being braver than me. I wish the best for you

No I haven't watched or played TLOU and I don't plan to, I just feel moved by the love story between two middle aged men who found love and life and freedom when the rest of the world was struggling to survive, it is a queer (and in particular gay) victory of love conquering even the end of the world, and I am very happy this story exists

semi-famous people who get accidentally pregnant going through the ringer trying to talk their followers into being happy for them while simultaneously clearly trying to talk themselves into being actually happy about being a single mother by REPEATEDLY posting about how great they feel and look and how they were meant for this.

He's never happy

she's singing in another room and my dog is asleep at my feet. my grandma asked me why i haven't found a man yet and i laughed. oh, you know. i like my house clean.

my girlfriend is also my man is also "my partner" if i'm in a professional setting. yesterday we went to a ren faire and a man mimed at me - you're together? and at my delighted nod, his baffled, you're gay? made me laugh. a woman with rainbow hair said i love the two of you together. you're both so beautiful it's absurd.

my dad introduced my partner as my "..... friend. or whatever" the other day. he knows we're dating. in the same way, i was never able to get my sister's husband to stop saying that's gay like it's 2008. he still uses the word fa***t, and my sister's defense of him has always been well, he's just kidding.

my lover and i dance to old music in a tiny kitchen. we judge new music together and take food critique very seriously. we watch love is blind before we fall asleep and agree that if they had a queer season, it would be bloody but also make for excellent tv. of fucking course queer people would know someone for only 2 weeks and agree to get married. what are you saying.

at a bar with friends, a man puts his hand on my wrist. got a boyfriend? and yes, i do have a boyfriend, she's amazing. i am texting her while i wander around a gas station named after geese. i am visiting a swing state for a wedding. in the candy aisle i overhear: she's actually like a lesbian it's disgusting. two teenage girls with packaged sandwiches in their hands, giggling. no literally, like. i'm not, like. okay with her being there while we're all, like, naked and changing.

my girlfriend and i tailgate, drink gin and cider out of cups. from the frat group beside us, a man corrects himself with one of his friends: bro, i mean, nonbinary entity, and it makes everyone around him laugh, myself included. he razzes his friend the same way i would have killed for at 19 years old - like nothing happened, he continues: you apply sunscreen like an alien. he does a little sassy (and fairly accurate) dance interpretation of the motion. his friend is laughing so hard they're crying.

i am lucky, i live in a safe neighborhood in a safe state. my masc passenger princess comes up from DC. i drive her for an hour to where all the leaves are a violent arrangement of color. we walk along the trails, letting autumn into our blood. in this part of the state, there's a lot of pickup trucks and trump signs. when we chastely kiss before getting into the car, i accidentally make eye contact with a woman holding her child's wrist. she looks disgusted. she looks fucking pissed.

two hours later my girl and i are eating dinner on a patio, soaking in the last warmth of new england sun before the chill of winter sets in. we are giggling and trying to talk through plastic vampire teeth. at another table, i see a young woman sit up straighter. i watch her watch us. she blushes and takes her partner's hand from across the table. shy, like the taste of evening has just become something deeper.

it's worth it for this moment, i think. my lover is still humming the same song she's been singing for four days straight and i don't want to kill her for it. her guitar is beside my bed. her toothbrush is in my bathroom. in a few moments i will make us lunch. we are lucky enough to have found each other. it is lucky enough to be in love.

People liking your personal OCs is still such a crazy feeling, I've been doing this for years and ppl asking about them still fills my entire heart with warmth and idk how to handle it

You enjoy this fictional guy I made up for fun?? Whose only content is random artwork or writing made by me and a handful of other artists at most? They have no show/book/game with a large fandom, it's just one person with an art blog?? I love u

These guys deserve the World Series title. I love these two in particular. If the Yankees couldn't win, the Dodgers were my second choice. I knew that we'd face them in the World Series. Congratulations 🎊 👏🏽

You guys played sooooooo well. I'm happy for you. I guess that I can take off my judge's robe and wig. 😄 See you next year. I'm gonna boop my brains out to get over this 🤪

I am incredibly serious right now when I beg you all, please, and if you have Twitter or Tiktok or whatever to please spread the word: click on an author's profile on Ao3.

You want to know if an author has written more? Want to know if they're still writing? Want to see more from them? Want to know if they've written a trope or kink or sex scenario you enjoy?

Click on their name. And look at their profile.

I cannot tell you how many times in the last six months someone has read a new or newer fic of mine and said they (a new reader who has read nothing else I've done) "can't wait to see what you do next!" I've written 50+ fics and over a million words already.

"I don't know if you're still writing..." click on my profile. I am. I literally wrote a 128k+ fic for that ship last month.

"Would you ever do X?" "Please do Y!" I already did. Click on my name and look at my works.

Archive of our Own is a library. It's an archive. Not social media. It is your responsibility to fight back against the laziness that corporate algorithms have trained into you.

Click my author name. Just click it. Just click it.

Before you demand more, or ask if a writer will do XYZ, or wonder if the author still writing, or anything - click on their profile. Click on the author's profile.

I'm not trying to be mean or condescending or anything like that. I'm just exhausted. It's disheartening and frustrating to repeat myself ad nauseam, because someone couldn't take thirty seconds to do the tiniest bit of work to see if I've written lately, if I've written more for their ship, or scan my works to see if I've written what they're asking for. Please. Please. I'm begging.
