Exactly. I have had arguments in activist spaces against the rhetoric of "labels are for soup cans" because I believe in labels we can choose for ourselves. Labels that will change and shift and merge and flow as time passes.

My generation watched helplessly as our loved ones died during the AIDS crisis and we were just figuring out our identities while feral politics sought to literally suppress our freedom to be open. Sounds familiar.

We have always been here. Words or not. We will always be here.

I'm not going anywhere.

If you were really born in 1979, you’re far too old to be calling yourself this bullshit, “Panromantic Demisexual. Nonbinary Femme Demigirl. Fae Cryptid”. Sad to see adults acting like the worst type of teenager.

*turns to my mutuals* And here we see someone who doesn't want me to have fun. Sad anon, you probably need a hug. And a clown nose. It makes a honk noise, isn't that silly?

Seriously, where do you come from? You're in your 20s, aren't you? You should be doing fun adolescent stuff. You're sniping at a middle aged cripple on Tumblr for finding joy in being. Please go find your joy. Somewhere far away from me.

What I think is funny is everytime I visit someone's profile after seeing their take on the Octavia and Stolas situation I notice something

If their take is that Stolas is in the wrong and is a bad dad, OP is often a teenager, which makes sense because a teen is going to sympathize with another teen and see their perspective

If their take is that Octavia is in the wrong and is a niavs, spoiled, entitled, ungrateful brat, OP is often 35-40+, which makes sense because an adult (who is old enough that they likely have a teenage child themselves) are going to see the perspective of a parent of a teenager and sympathize more with them

And if their take is that neither are in the wrong, they just have different perspectives which are both valid and that they just need to communicate, OP is often in their 20's or 30's, which is also interesting that this (ie: the most healthy take on the situation) is mostly seen in the generation that's all about healing and breaking generational trauma
