Every so often I come across people going on about 'queer is a bad word, I'm not a terf but we shouldn't use that word in community/academic/etc settings, don't call me queer' and just

Okay

You're not queer

I won't call you that, no one should call you that, and anyone that does is being an asshole regardless of their identity or minority status. It doesn't matter what reasoning you have behind not wanting to be labelled as queer, what trauma you may or may not have, what you've identified as in the past and present, and whether or not your preference just comes to not liking the vibe of the word for entirely inscrutible reasons. No one has any right to pry.

If you say you're not queer, then you're not queer, and that's okay.

It just also means that if I, a queer person, talk about the queer community, then I'm not referring to you. If an academic refers to queer history and queer texts written by queer people about other queer people, they're also not talking about you. If a corporation starts using 'queer' in their ads then they can eat shit because fuck 'em, they have no fucking right to use our words when they aren't and have never been one of us, but if a well-meaning ally uses 'queer' as a one-syllable shorthand for LGBTQIA+ in a verbal conversation, then there's no reason for you to get any more annoyed at them as you would if they used the word 'gay' instead.

You have every single right to be labelled or not labelled as you like, and I will stand behind you all the way. If someone is trying to shove 'queer' on you when you really don't want it? Then I will happily, metaphorically, deck them in the face for you. We are still family, whatever you choose to call yourself, and it's important that we stick together.

But

If you aren't queer, and you get frustrated when you see queer people talking about the queer community, take a deep breath, and consider:

They aren't talking about you

This time, I'm doing my best to write the top three, starting from the top result! If I can, I'll do more. Bottom line: If someone wants to read it, I'll do my best to write it! 🌅

The works selected are for 4 different fandoms, with some AUs sprinkled in. You can try to guess which is which, or you can go by what sounds most interesting a concept 🌹🧡

One last quick note - Thank you so much for participating! This poll system has helped me a lot in the past. The idea that I'm writing something people might want to read has been incredibly motivating - that's also why I'm trying to write as many the fics as possible. I hope that doesn't make the poll system boring, but I do want all of us to have fun (and tbh of course I like all of the concepts, I came up with them and I'm excited to share what I have in mind🌹✨). Thank you and I really hope you'll enjoy the end result♥️

Hey here's a question I'd like to ask: why do LGBT+ people in stories NEED to have a romantic partner in order to be validated as good representation?

The value of gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, polysexual etc. characters and their representation is often through whether they get a girlfriend, a boyfriend, a partner, etc., and I feel like that's kind of a limited way to view representation, you know?

And when people think of representation, they almost always picture relationships which obviously is understandable, but then they forget about transgender people, and they forget about aromantic and asexual people who may not have any interest in relationships whatsoever.

Or if they don't, trans people are viewed in the value of being a good romantic or sexual – typically sexual – partner, and if they don't cater to those fantasies, they get degraded and tossed out. Aroace people are vilified for not wanting to have relationships and called inhuman. Whether intentional or not, we get excluded for not conforming to the norm of our identity being based on relationships.

I'm obviously not against having LGBT+ romances like hell yeah, but just like how straight people can go through their entire lives being single and still express their sexuality, we can go through our lives being single. And is that such a bad thing to show in stories?

I think being able to normalize singleness and not prop up romantic relationships as the ultimate endgame can really help with the acceptance of aromantic, asexual and aroace people more and in general bring less judgment and more acceptance for those who don't fit the mold within the community.

I can imagine Soshiro going to pat Skully's head for some reason or another.

I also think Skully would greet their usual babysitter (besides their Mama, Kafka) as "Oki", short for Okonogi. I feel like I've heard that before.

And it might be cute if Soshiro at some point began to spot Captain Ashiro near a certain region of the base a little more often. Just enough to notice, but not enough to be suspicious.

One day he enters the surveillance room and Skully is humming and wiggling in their seat, doodling on some paper at their Oki's desk. Okonogi Konomi is supervising as usual: Her hands are clasped and her neck is craned to get a better look at the drawing, but she's otherwise just smiling and letting Skully do their thing.

She points at the paper and asks Skully a question. Okonogi always interacts with Skully in a sweet way. Aside from her initial fright at a Yoju up-close, Soshiro figures her scientific curiosity was piqued, and it's only natural for a human to treat a baby nicely. And Skully is such a sweetie, even as creepy a baby as they are. This time, though, Okonogi practically sings the question.

Skully's reply is short, so after, Soshiro casually asks, "Something good happen, Okonogi-chan?"

Skully reacts to Soshiro's presence, yipping "Papa!" and zipping out of the chair to run at him, page and crayon in hand. Meanwhile, Okonogi addresses him as Vice-Captain.

When Skully reaches Soshiro, Okonogi murmurs, as if keeping a secret, "I just saw something cute today."

Soshiro crouches to pat Skully's head, saying "Ah, little Kaiju~ You get bigger every day! What are we going to do with you?" which is, of course, an exaggeration.

Skully lifts themself on their toes to happily meet his hand in the greeting. But then Soshiro makes a slight face and rubs his fingers together. Something sticky or oily? He inspects his hand and notes a sweet smell, and the substance is clear and shiny.

He holds out his hand in front of Skully's face, curious. "What's this?"

Skully sniffs it, then happily hums in response to the scent. They look down at their paper with a kind of smile, their body wiggling, especially the tail, and something about their demeanor suggests they're blushing right through their face-plates. They croon a little when they say, "Pretty Ma-" but they stop, suddenly bewildered. "Ma?"

I don't really understand your pinned, are they not the same ship?

Sorry i cannot figure out how to answer this privately on mobile but uhhh

by common (east and often south-east iirc?) asian shipping standards they are completely different ships, and telling a JP or KR dnkb artist you like their kbdn would probably confuse them, if not offend them and earn you a block. they’re basically rival (heh 😏) ships and separated at offline events and everything too. from a western fandom view point it’s confusing and feels a bit archaic if not just stupid, i know lol.

I’ll read/look at dnkb too (very picky though) but i won’t really draw it. i’ve posted maybe 2? 3? things meant as dk on this account ages ago but anything else, especially if it’s been on my main twit or bsky, is not and i do not want it passed off as if it was. i have (had? as i wiped it and am planning on deleting it) a separated dk twitter so if it was on there it’s fair game though.

OC Trivia Bingo!

Send me an ask with a letter and a number, and I'll tell you a random fact about one of my ocs!

How it works

I assigned each of my ocs a random letter, and also written down 15 fun facts about each of them. If you send me a letter and a number from 1-15, I will send you the respective numbered fact from the respective oc. Example: You send me "A" and "12". The character "A" is Chara Kuter (not a real oc), so I will go on their fun facts list and pick the one numbered twelve, that in this fictional example says "she loves oranges!"

Rules

- You play this by sending me both a letter and a number (eg. B and 6) from the list below

- If you have an specific oc in mind you want to send the ask about, just send their name (eg. Meine) and the number (eg. 6)

- You can send in asks more than once

- You can send in multiple letter/oc + number pairs in a single ask (although I would prefer it if you keep it under five, but it's not against the rules to have more in a single ask)

Characters

A/Kaiki

B/Olamina

C/Meine

D/Totsuka

E/Ceres

F/Lucy

G/Vaiva

Numbers: Currently from 1 to 15

Congrats on 3k! Can you do Asmo and y - yours?

🎉3k celebration 🎉

y - yours, what was it like when they realised they were in love? what were they doing? how did they react? 

Asmodeus has been staring at you a lot lately. Although you have only just begun to notice, due him becoming more blatant and unapologetic about doing so. You ask him about it one time, and he claims that it’s because he thinks you're so cute when you turn to catch him staring at you, only to turn your attention away quickly when he winks at you. You joke one time that maybe he should get a framed picture of you on his desk at RAD so he doesn't have to keep staring from across the room. "Only if you promise to get a picture of me on your desk." He replied, not expecting your quick reply. 

"I'll make it take up half my desk so everyone knows when I'm thinking about you." Or his own reaction to your words, his heart doing a small backflip at the thought of your mind drifting off lost in thoughts about him. He plays it off with a small laugh, saying with a wink that he has a huge selection of photos you can pick from. But now that he thinks about he shouldn’t be surprised by his own reaction, given the epiphany he had about a week prior to that conversation. 

Asmo loves you. He knew the moment his fascination about your immunity to his charm turned into a curiosity about what you being in love would actually look like. Only for that train of thought to escape him one night as he laid wide awake, questioning himself what would it feel like to be loved by you? His conclusion after imaging a confession from you, and contemplating different ways you might say the three magic words, envisioning how nice it would be to be freely affectionate with you he likes regardless of any of his brothers' protests. And the idea knowing that when your stare softens and you smile widely when your mind drifts that you are thinking about him. 

Is that he wanted all of that, and just the concept of all of those things made him giddy. 

He’s been staring a lot lately, because he's planning on confessing. But he's daydreaming thousands of different scenarios of ways he wants to do it. You deserve only the best, and he refuses for the moment he does to be anything less than perfect.

not to live up to OCD stereotypes here, but coworker/inventory lead said that there was "no point" to alphabetizing these bins full of parts that almost all have similar sounding names, took a part from what I was alphabetizing, and then just dumped the rest back in.

anyways, it's been nice talking to y'all but i have a murder to plan xoxox /j
