CHRISTIAN PLEASE WE NEED YOU

[inkskinned]

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.

trans women are everywhere and are so eager to be seen and heard but only if they feel safe around you. if you hardly ever have trans women interacting with you, especially online, then consider there might be a reason for that and you should address it

iwtv fandom constantly arguing about who the real bad guy is when shit hits the fan like oh its lestats fault or armands or actually louis is the real villain!! IRRELEVANT. disregard. the reason everything always goes to shit in this show is because unfortunately louis and lestat do match eachothers freak and the resonant harmony of their freakiness sends pure unfiltered wavelengths of suffering to every single characters vampire brainstem and ruins their lives. in this business we call it the invisible chord.

how it feels when you meet someone irl who watches agatha all along but theyre a casual enjoyer and you’re actually like clinically insane over it

if you're a white person taking pleasure in the idea that Trump voters of colour are experiencing racist violence from white trumpers because "they got what's coming to them" I don't think you're anti-racist at all, I think you were just waiting for an acceptable target, and you're also fucking weird.

Bad Person Deserves Punishment For Their Sins give me a fucking break and get yourself out of the fucking catholic church. you're all prison abolitionists until you see someone you don't like.

i vote that next year instead of reading Dracula we do a Jeeves & Wooster Book Club. those two never got the rabid tumblr shipping fandom they deserved (disqualified for the sheer technicality of being published a century too soon). we must correct this injustice

I'M LOSING MY MIND what is the point of "dig in there mr. spock" ? why did they write that??? spock regularly gives jim massages? in public? on the bridge???WHAT? whY? why does he stop her when he realizes it's NOT spock???? it's somehow more professional that way?! was it for laughs?? IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY!!!! WHY!!!!

[ineffableteeth]

This has been said to death but not only was this reaction completely unwarranted from Aziraphales response, but Crowley was so unnecessarily close to him

He pressed his entire body against Aziraphale and STAYED LIKE THAT, he didn't just push him to the wall, he PINNED him

And Aziraphale didn't even attempt to struggle or push Crowley away, even when he was distracted

So there’s only one logical explanation for this

They were both into it and everything about this interaction was intentional

Ballad of the fox

[jingerpi]

does anyone have resources on transmisogyny in nazi Germany? I was looking into it briefly and it seems relatively clear that the persecution of queer people in nazi Germany was very transmisogynistic. cis lesbians were never outlawed or explicitly targeted (instead classed under asocial), and some trans men apparently had their "transvestite certification" renewed (permit that gave permission to crossdress), where on the other side, gay men and trans women were explicitly targeted by Nazis and labelled with the pink triangle and often castrated or worse.

the thing is I'm struggling to find actual information on a lot of this, in particular the transvestite certification, there are many individual examples of trans women being harassed or killed specifically for having them and this article specifically mentions a strange exception where a trans man was not persecuted for his but rather had it renewed, but I can't find information on how common this was, perhaps this was a rare exception with no relation to agab as the article seems to think, but I can't help but wonder if it may be reflective of wider transmisogynistic forces.

It seems like a bit of a trove of historic information for analysis but surprisingly I can't find anything talking about Nazis and transmisogyny, only their general homophobia/queerphobia.

I would really like to read more about this so if anyone has resources or just personal study they'd like to share please do send it my way

why am i drawing the dancestors? i don’t even like any of them, except maybe damara

i don’t even know if aranea would even do this. i just thought the post was really, really funny and i wanted to draw something for it

horuss and rufioh would be the annoying pda couple that blocks your way when you’re trying to walk

sorry if i’m completely mischaracterizing everyone. i haven’t read openbound since i read homestuck.

this thing about josh saying all that about not judging people over the way they've acted when they were closeted, and the way buck reacts to initally finding out...and something about the whole way that there's this underlying thread of eddie's sexuality being closeted and repressed and how that affects the way he interacts with women in real time but that's something buck takes in stride until it gets serious...something about josh sowing those seeds in the image of tommy, but that could very visibly apply to eddie "i'm straight" diaz...and something about them making tommy almost an older mirror of eddie...like???? there are dots and i am connecting them

INSANE about your artstyle. May I request that you draw Fiddleford helping Ford make some disaster fashion choice

i know you requested a disaster fashion choice but i accidentally made it a cunty fashion choice, so you'll have to accept this instead

[tahopo]

we truly regressed when people started buying into the genderbending is inherently transphobic thing. yeah that twelve year old being inquisitive and having fun on deviantart was your enemy all along.
