#jesus loves the gays

hi chat is funny time

SO some of you might remember the Roblox (yes we're going there) group 'True Colors' which was a support / hangout group for queer roblox players. A lot of the players were closeted and did really need a space to be queer. Or at the very least be able to say they were queer. (This was important because for trans Roblox players, having an avatar that slightly aligned with your true gender could be seen as suspicious to family members, so if you did do that it'd usually have to be a character from a media. and with modern day Roblox, your nickname usually would have to be set to a name that aligns with the gender you're pretending to be. So having a space where you could be called the right name and pronouns was important for trans kids on Roblox.)

'True Colors' has been around for a LONG time. It's not a new group by any margin and a lot of old, inactive accounts that belonged to queer kids are in that group. I know my ex-boyfriend's account is. And Roblox groups, for those who are unaware, function like forums. So people did make friends on there, friends that did matter to them *a lot* and that went from online to irl friends for people who are now adults.

Hell, a lot of members in that group *are* adults now. That's how long it's been around.

HOWEVER, recently, like a month or year ago, something BIG changed.

People who were in the group woke up to a pretty nasty notification on their accounts that was alerting them that the name of 'True Colors' had been changed, now being named 'True Colors in Christ.'

For a lot of people they'd click on the group and at first assume there's been a hacking. Changing queer online groups to be all about Christianity wasn't new at all. Trolls would spam the boards with COMPLETELY random Bible verses, like, COMPLETELY random. Not just the usual ones queerphobes quote. Just random shit.

BUT here's the thing, it *wasn't* hacked. Admins and the owner herself confirmed that this was a deliberate decision made by the owner, VeganEmpress.

Now, Vegan had slowly changed during the groups lifetime. She had gone from queer-accepting to only tolerating queer people to barely tolerating them at all.

She had, at one point, identified as a queer woman. But she had these two friends who, somehow, managed to convince her she was straight. Now I'm not sure if she actually is straight but their involvement says otherwise.

Those two friends both were EXTREMELY Christian and got her DEEP into Christianity. And they were the hateful type of Christian. At some point she gave ownership to someone else and said that she would keep the group as being about pride, she just wouldn't be the owner anymore.

But then at some point AGAIN those friends got her to change the group to be about Christianity and had a lot of control. It became VERY tolerant of queerphobic Christians and queerphobic beliefs, making a lot of queer people have to leave the group.

It was pretty shocking for everyone from the outside, as Vegan had said over and over again that she wouldn't change the group or put her own beliefs into the group.

So a lot of former members are very obviously upset with Vegan. She had sold merchandise that had queer flags on it, and it felt like to a lot of people she had just profited off of people she didn't support at all. True Colors *was* their safe space and it had been turned into just a bigoted echo chamber.

Now here's the thing... On the surface, the group states it's accepting of queer people. That they're allowed to be in the group and participate on the meetings the group holds on Sundays. Despite that the mods and group as a community hold the opposite sentiment.

MEANING

former members aren't banned and can still join the group and the expirences the group owns.

Idk how to segueway into this, but a lot of members have a plan to take back the group and restore it to its final state.

The plan is called "Project Color" or "Reclaim Our Safe Haven" because duh

The basic idea it has is that Roblox players will enter the games on Sundays and act like the group never changed. As in, standing around the map and just talking about gay shit. No raiding spamming messages, just group conversations about queer topics.

Which means yes, the plan is to stand in the church and talk about the bicon that is Kit Connor or queer shit you personally made. Including books, arts, series, basically anything queer that you yourself have created.

Dew it. You know you want to.

we might not have got a destiel kiss but now every time a fictional guy that people gay-imprint on gets to gay kiss someone on tv, destiel and supernatural trend on tumblr in a tribute to those who paved the way. and so the cycle repeats and castiel’s final words live on.. maybe happiness isn’t in the having after all

American Television after 5 years of pushing for queer representation: I hope you wanted unnecessary drama, angst with a maybe resolution, and three unfulfilling seasons of questionably written flirtation. And that all comes before anything is half-confirmed with a singular lukewarm kissing scene between two conventionally attractive, white bisexual women!

Thai Television .3 seconds after they figured out queer content is marketable: Did you want something kinky, soft, or stupid? Did you want cat ears? We’ve got cat ears! We’ve got safe/sane/consensual OR off-the-charts bad etiquette BDSM. We’ve got college students out the ass! As long as they’re an engineer or architect, choose your flavor. Do you want an age gap or classmates? Something for adults? Teens? Everyone was childhood besties, how about that??? This is a short order restaurant and I will flip you some gays like they’re hotcakes, just tell me what you want.

I saw a video of Norman saying Daryl and jesus almost got together, but it didn't happen because, if I understood right, fans didn't like the idea? I'm genuinely so upset that didn't happen because I would've loved to see that.

BY THE WAY THE FACT NORMAN WAS MORE THEN HAPPY TO PLAY ANOTHER GAY CHARCTER IS SO SJDNDBSBNEEMJEK I LOVE HIM SO MUCH ☹️

(Here's the video, I had to screen record it so forgive me for the quality 😭)

You know what we should bring back?

Older christianity. I mean the anti government, anti military, community based christianity. The one that cared the most about peace, equality, mercy, kindness, and radical love. The one with shared property. The one that didn't conform to society but instead existed mostly outside of it. The one where noone considered one sin worse than another because in the end, we are all sinners trying our best to be better.

I love how the musical theater community occasionally looks at a supposed villain and goes "hear me out... What if he did it cuz he's a gay disaster?". Fr Judas Iscariot? Nah he was in love with Jesus and so worried about him getting hurt that, in true Greek tragedy fashion, ended up being the one hurting him and upon realizing that he hanged himself. Salieri? Nah you don't get it he had a full bdsm gay awakening because of Mozart and became so obsessed with him that he destroyed his career and felt so bad about it he couldn't look at himself in the mirror.

AND IT ALWAYS ENDS UP A FUCKING MASTERPIECE

ID: two digital colored illustrations featuring legolas, gimli, and aragorn. 1) legolas and gimli riding a horse together, with gimli sitting behind legolas in the saddle. legolas is a pale, skinny elf with long pale blonde hair, a big pointed nose, and long pointed ears. he wears green layers and a grayish cloak that matches gimli's and aragorn's. he's holding the reins and looking ahead with a deeply flustered and slightly bewildered expression. gimli is a short stout dwarf with ruddy, long curly hair and beard. he's wearing a helmet, red sleeves, matching cloak and an axe on his back. he grips legolas' sides for stability and looks away in the opposite direction with an equally flustered expression. 2) two drawings of aragorn on his horse. he's a slim man with tanned skin, stubble, and dark brown jaw-length hair. he's wearing a matching cloak and silver vambraces. he's holding the reins and looking behind him with narrowed eyes and an expression of annoyance. the second drawing is him in the same position with the same expression but he's rolling his eyes. end ID

re-reading the two towers again and decided to dig up and color these old sketches

Thinking about the Bible verse that Jason quoted to the people in Hawkins during the Hellfire Club witch hunt, which was Romans 12: 21 aka "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good," and also thinking about the fact that Will Byers was the boy who "came back from the dead" so to speak and the fact that he is always connected visually and symbolically to light and the idea of being a light in the darkness, more specifically Mike's light. Also thinking about Joyce in s1 and Hawkins gang in s4 literally using light to communicate with each other and the fact that they only thought of doing so because Will did it first. The idea that light overcomes darkness, which has been present symbolically and visually since the beginning of the show, and the way that the light that has the power to overcome the darkness is literally WILL BYERS.
