Hi Blue. Do you have any thoughts on Simon's plaid pants?

You know what? Everyone’s all plaid pants this, plaid pants that, and lots of people are talking about how unflattering the plaid pants are.

But I think we may be protesting too much…

ADMIT IT. WE ALL HAD A CRUSH ON HARUKA TENOU IN MIDDLE SCHOOL.

So those are my thoughts on plaid pants. I associate them with Sailor Uranus.

Actual Human Beings can’t queerbait you.

You are not entitled to intimate knowledge of stranger’s sexual orientation.

Forcing people to come out is violence.

The fact that supposed fans of a lead in a series that directly deals with how personal the path to being out is managed to so totally misunderstood the point of the series they claim to love is troubling, infuriating, disgusting...so many words.

It shows a total lack of media literacy.

It shows a total lack of compassion and empathy.

As a fandom old and a queer who came out in a whole different century, I’m genuinely horrified by the way these baby queers are approaching fandom and queerness. It’s being done with a fascistic disregard for the individual and the level of entitlement and privilege that permeates this attitude, combined with the moralizing disguised as representation, and the demands that people expose their private struggles in order to justify their art is totalitarian in its disregard for multiple POV’s and experiences.

No one owes you an explanation for their request for privacy, FFS. You are the bad guys. You are the villains. You are the future fascists and puritans who will force people back into the closet due to your complete inability to accept someone who doesn’t line up in your neat little boxes.

And remember.

For many people, being out isn’t safe.

It leads to material harm.

Stop bullying people and learn how to be decent human beings before you go out in the world and burn it all down in your effort to uphold a fake moral high ground.

I’d like to thank the #CecilSweep for reminding me of when I dressed up as Cecil for Halloween in 2014 as a freshman in high school 😅😊🫶🏻😳😵‍💫

last pic is me on the bus :)

my tbh of the day... get the fuck out of online queer/discourse spaces and get the fuck into things that you enjoy and bring you enthusiasm and inspire you. meet queer people in those spaces. you will be happier btw.

Oh! OH! I went to my village's pharmacy yesterday and they had the Pride Nivea tin!!

[spikybanana]

man I love reconstructing and recontexualizing my life with queer concepts like. this is incredible actually. this brings me so much joy

[stonebutchery]

being ‘anti mspec lesbian’ is just beyond freakishly weird at this point, it’s not 2020 with every terminally online weirdo stuck inside rage-scrolling twitter looking for babyqueers to cyberbully anymore. i mean it definitely wasn’t acceptable then but it’s super not acceptable now lol, you don’t even have a flimsy excuse for this kind of mean spirited asshole behavior anymore. don’t you have something better to do than sending 19-23 year old trans girls with “biromantic lesbian” in their blog descriptions cruel and threatening anonymous messages? like what is the fucking deal… how does their existence materially affect you in any meaningful way…

[deirdreskye]

someone needs to teach these babyqueer cafabs on the apps these days that it's okay if you want to get run through by tranny dick but you neeeeed to learn how to flirt with the girls in a way that doesn't scream "I'm going to touch you like a man and make you fuck me like a man" I promise you the ones who are actually good at fucking will not usually tolerate this

9 People You'd Like To Get To Know Better

Tagged by @visualtaehyun and @thegalwhorants 💕

3 ships

Need to limit myself because there are too many good couples in media! The three I'm most enjoying in what I'm watching right now are:

Qian and Yuan from Unknown

Kazuhito and Natsukawa from Living with Him / Kare no Iru Seikatsu

Aylin and Luna from 23.5

First ship

I've answered this before but I was reading galwhorants' answers and suddenly the words "world shaking" popped into my head, and I remembered that the main site I used to read Ami/Makoto (sailors Mercury and Jupiter from Sailor Moon) fanfic was on worldshaking.net so I looked it up and that site has been rebuilt and some of the fanfic restored! So if you are curious about what babyqueer me was reading ~1997 it's still around and you can go see for yourself (shout-out to the author & curator Erica Friedman who was [and still is] a mentor and community-builder for so many of us; she was the one who organized Yuricon which is still an excellent resource if you want to get into or understand the history of yuri!).

Last song

I'm a quiet TXT fan and I've been enjoying their new mini album; the last song I listened to was Quarter Life (which has the unfortunate effect of making me feel old since I'm long past the quarter-life crisis age lolol but it makes me nostalgic for the pop punk heydays):

Currently reading

I finished book 1 and am chipping away at book 2 of MoDu (Silent Reading); it is such a satisfying read! I need more hours in the day so I can keep reading it.

Last movie

I just finished the short Burmese film Khar Taw Mi (another Trust Entertainment work centered around Thingyan, this time around the cultural performance aspects rather than the water party parts, so lots of traditional music and dance). If we're talking feature film, hmm, I think it was either Doi Boy (2023) or Past Lives (2023), I can't remember the order I watched them in; I watched them both in March (and both were very good).

Currently craving

Honestly, what I most want right now is spoons to do the things I've been dragging my feet on doing. Food-wise, I was giving a colleague tips on visiting Newfoundland and now I'm craving soft-serve creamsicle ice cream, which I've only ever had in St. John's.

No-pressure tags! And if you've already done this one tag me in the comments: @lurkingshan (since we fought over ships last time); @happypotato48; @sorry-bonebag; @my-rose-tinted-glasses; @telomeke; @waitmyturtles; @bengiyo (especially for the movie question); @thisonelikesaliens; @hyeoni-comb

y/n is a babyqueer and roy cohn takes you to studio 54 but the night takes a strange turn when roy has too much to drink and confesses he’s in love with you

[thevoicefromthestars]

@allidreamedup replied to your post “so i'm trying to come to terms with starship iris...”:

i remember listening to the first few episodes on family vacation in italy as a babyqueer who liked linguistics and had never listened to audio dramas before, and i am so so glad tscosi was the first one, I've listened to it so many times and it still feels immersive and comforting and it will hold a special place in my heart forever 💖

​i love that! thank you for choosing to try something new when you started listening, and thanks for sticking with us all these years. i really hope we can send it off in a way that feels satisfying and does justice to the memories and feelings it holds for you <3

in my experience, a majority of effeminate men with high pitched voices or stereotypically girly mannerisms are in fact straight, it's just that harmful stereotypes about queer men continue to persist. not to mention the masculinity that gay men (like bears for example) exhude is either overlooked because they are ''straight passing'' or it's demonized even in more progressive communities.

If you go back through my asks tag to about a week ago you'll find a post where I discussed what it was like for me, a very masculine intersex bisexual/gay man, and a very masculine FTM bear at a queer event we showed up to.

Cuz I'll tell you. Weren't fun. He almost left because of how shittily they treated him—especially the younger transmascs—for his masculinity and 100% passing for cis. Both of us was demonised but him, bearded and tall and fat and hairy and balding, got the worst of it by far.

The queer community resents masculinity, end of. Even if you're an FTM you're resented unless you're putting on the uwu softboy aesthetic. This is also why there's so much push to convince transmascs not to go on testosterone—"you'll get hairy" "you'll be ugly" "it'll make you mean". This community hates men and masculinity and DESPERATELY doesn't want trans men to actually transition or look like cis men.

Also babyqueers ignore the fact that like 90% of queer stereotypes are stereotypes put on us a century ago by non-queer people. They need to ask themselves if gay men are by default effeminate or if the only gay men heteronormative society could identify AND PUNISH for being gay were the effeminate types who made it very clear what they were. The cowboy or businessman in a suit or mechanic or what have you, the masculine men, passed for straight so nobody knew they were gay. How are you gonna stereotype something you don't even know exists?

So of course all gays must be effeminate, because those are the only gays the people making those stereotypes SAW AS GAY.

As a closeted trans, I actually don’t feel attacked by you. Weirdly, though, I do feel nervous about the trans people who are so aggressive towards others who make mistakes or say something wrong that they would spend hours raging at anyone who ain’t trans in the right way with the right language

i do think it’s funny that people will see me word something poorly/incorrectly a week ago and try to ides of March me for it.

I finally looked back at the original reply I had made and had to laugh because they were foaming at the mouth over the fact I more or less said “afab chests are over-sexualized by society when amab chests are not” and are to this day heated.

The way they were obsessively sending asks for hours had me thinking I must have said something truly terrible and forgotten somehow, but no. That’s all the comment amounted to and yes it was still not fully inclusive but THAT is what people are this upset about? THAT?? That comment was me “mass misgendering” and committing violent transmisogyny??

I think I said it last week but my god babyqueers touch a leaf of grass challenge I’m BEGGING you.

Genuinely queerness and queer history the moment you bother to actually take a step back and read real life and historical documentations of who we ware as a community directly contrasts the heavy sanitization and strict boundary lines and labels that the modern age internet has advocated so vocally to put in place. It is ironic and disheartening with how many babyqueers I see today who genuinely eat up everything queer separatists and transphobes in general spout online, just because these influencers care to say they are “trans friendly” or “against trans medicalists” when they pretty much 100% of the time are those very antagonizers that would’ve balked at the sight of a hairy queer clad in leather fresh out of the 70s. The way the internet so heavily advocates for this idea of being “anti-intellectualist” with how folks prefer to listen to people who they trust to be smart to relay real-world information over to them rather than literally just reading is always bothering me. Am I making any sense here.
