As a reminder that good exists out there, a coworker recently confessed to me that he found out his child is questioning their identity (kid's gender redacted for this post). The kid is keeping it from him, so he can't say anything to them or show that he knows, but he's doing his best to get mentally prepared and educated so that he'll be ready whenever his kid does feel comfortable enough come to him.

For context, this guy is a big, bulky middle aged dude who loves sports and typical outdoor "manly" activities. As his coworker and friend, I know he's a kind and sweet teddy bear of a person, but his kid probably views him as a stern, authoritarian figure, the way most teenagers view their parents. His family lives in a conservative area, so I'm sure between that, their dad's looks and interests, and the fact that their dad is a Figure of Authority, the kid is worried that they won't be accepted.

But you know what? When he found out about his kid, the first thing he did was reach out to his closest queer friend and ask for resources for parents of questioning children. His biggest fears are that his kid will be bullied or discriminated against and won't feel comfortable enough to be themself. His second action was to find himself a mentor in another parent who went the same situation (kid coming out in a conservative town). The other person is preparing him for some of the struggles his kid may face and the fights he may need to take on as a parent to make sure his kid is safe and treated well.

Something I want to emphasize for people focused on language as the primary method of allyship is that when we spoke, he used some outdated terms and thoughts about gender and sexuality. That does not make him bad. These were the terms and thinking used about questioning teenagers when he was growing up and he never needed to learn more current ones. But now that he does have that need, he's throwing himself in head first because that's his kid and he's darn well going to make sure that his kid feels welcomed and has a safe place to be themselves even if they never come out to him.

Ncuti rly just rocked up trouserless, played a high-stakes game of catch, told his younger self to get some fucking therapy, cloned the Tardis (HELLO?), and left to go clubbing. Iconic behaviour. No notes.

in an ideal tv adaptation of trc there is an absurd number of shots framed like pertinent tarot cards. calla upside down on the aerial silks hanged man pose. adam gets a meticulously framed but ultimately subtle magician card moment at fox way of course. and adam two/eight of swords with the blindfold. the gray man sleeping in tdt chapter 11 with the right number of vertically oriented objects behind him simulating knives in his back for the ten of swords. multiple iterations of the lovers. blue as the page of cups with her apple juice or yogurt cup. put gansey on a horse (metaphorical or otherwise) for death. idk!!!

I really love your fallout drawings! I was in the NV fandom when the game first came out, and one thing I really love about your art is how youthful you make boone look. I can't remember if there's a canon age for him, but the fan consensus at the time was that he was like, 22-24 but your art is the first I've seen where he looks that age. bravo!

thank you so much!! :"D i remember seeing he's 25-26 on the wiki or somewhere but i'm 50% sure that's not confirmed/has no source. while part of it is just my style, but i do love a younger look for him because i think it makes the shit that happened to him worse (emoji where it's the sunglasses emoji but also it's crying.jpg) and hones in on the fact that he's... borderline still a kid. he should be at the club.

anyway thinking about him at the club -> me drawing what i think he would wear on a run to the corner store

I can't wait for Emmrich to make me cry like a baby, I don't know, guys, with what we've been told about him. I just know this man is going to make me sob.

sakusa kiyoomi isn't big on affection.

that's what a lot of people assume. little do they know just how lovey dovey he is behind closed doors, when it's just you and him. his love struck eyes framed behind long lashes, one hand slowly moving up to push a strand of hair out of your face while the other rested on your waist.

he had you situated on his lap, the two of you practically eye level as you mindlessly pressed kisses all over his face with an amused grin after each one. you had purposefully put on your favorite lip gloss before skipping over to kiyoomi and assaulting him with your affection, not that he was complaining.

after you deemed the seventeen (yes, you were counting) soft pink kiss marks on his face enough, you hummed quietly and softly grabbed his chin to tilt his face around and admire your work.

"y'know, you look real pretty like thi-"

"i'm not going outside with lipstick all over my face."

you gasped dramatically, placing a hand over your chest as a look of mock hurt washed over your face. "one, it's lipgloss not lipstick, and two- you don't wanna show the world the artistic masterpiece the love of your life made?!"

"that's practically begging miya to start pointing and laughing." kiyoomi scoffed lightly, bringing a hand up to touch one of the lipgloss marks. you hummed.

"yeah, i'd point and laugh at you too."

kiyoomi stared at you blankly before sliding away from your grasp with a barely there pout, causing you to let out a small noise in complaint. "sometimes i wonder how i put up with you." he murmured, glancing off standoffishly like he was a moping child who didn't get the toy he wanted. without missing a beat, you replied. "'cause you loooove me!"

the corners of his lips tugged upwards, curling into a smile you've decided you never want to stop seeing. "unfortunately, i do."

sakusa kiyoomi isn't big on affection until it's you we're talking about.
