(This is about being rejected by parents after coming out as LGBT+, and now 5 years later the anger is subsiding. The heartbreak is not. ~Nico)

Member of majority does something bad : Oh, this specific person was a bad person

Member of minority does something bad : Oh, every person in this whole minority group are bad people

What even is a "glorified anime transplant"? And it is good she makes a fool out of Vader. That is EXACTLY the point, lol. This comes from some annoying Russian-American Star Wars fanboy on Twitter using the handle SWT_Channel. I just had to laugh at how absurd this is. And clearly, what he is saying is lesbophobic too.

It's fine for your transition goals to be a man who wears dresses or a woman who wears tuxes or a person of indeterminate or queer gender wearing literally any combination thereof (or lack of combination, for that matter)

The point of transition is not to fit yourself into the cookie-cutter boxes. The point is for you to be able to exist as you. There is nothing wrong with being a "stereotype" or looking "queer". You are radiant and amazing <3

👁️HAND OVER THE RENEGADES TRILOGY HCS 👁️

pls

whichever is ur favorite character

gimme

Okay, I have no idea which one is my fav (they're all just too good) (except for Genissa) (fuck that stupid ice bitch) so ima just do a few characters I'm particularly fond of:

Simon has a baby face, which is why he keeps his beard thick and manly

Oscar can touch his nose with his tongue. This is his go to party trick

Oscar is bi and once had a crush on Adrian (Don't ask me where I got this one, I can just see the vibes. Bro is at least a little fruity) (I also have a bunch of other lgbtq headcanons for all/most the characters if you wanna see those)

Callum is a vegetarian

When Nova was a kid/early teen, she made a device that would be able to reach the light switch for what she was too lazy to get up, but she ended up always leaving the device too far away from where she was sitting, so she never ended up using it and it just collected dust until Winston found it and used it a lot cuz he thought it was just really cool

Adrian was a BIG fan of Spiderman growing up and BEGGED his dads for Spiderman themed glasses

Now,,,

this one isn't a headcanon, but an observation: PLS tell me I'm not the only one who sees a LOT of similarities between Phobia and Kurogiri from mha

Kurogiri and Phobia:

Both are considered to be the responsible one/unofficial mother of the group that takes care of the leader that doesn't really know how to properly take care of themselves, both are the most mysterious of their groups, both are REALLY loyal to their leader and cause, both have secret ties to one of the other characters, both conceal themselves with black smoke, both aren't really human and were created by man

I mean just-

THE SIMILARITIES

[historicxllexi]

Update on the CK situation:

I'm shocked I'm saying this but, instead of Carnivorekitty giving it some time to settle down & to use that time to grow . . He just deleted/deactivated his art accounts???

His Tumblr has been deactivated & his Ck twitter account has been seemingly deleted. The Lurking for Love twitter account is still up.

Edit 2: his art twitter is still up but the tag have been changed & the account privated. Any use of the direct link to the old tag doesn't work, hence why I thought it was possibly deleted.

He has changed his now deactivated Tumblr name to "don't make your fanbase on here" which says alot . . .

His Carrd has also been cleared out, including the Toyhouse account. Although his Ko-fi & Itchio are still up. You can see a preview to the old links in the second screenshot below.

Edit 1: his carrd has also been deleted now

He has renamed his previous Carnivorekitty twitter account to yeehawcrow and has privated it.

The background image was changed after the situation. This is just another jab at his fanbase, same as all his other account name changes.

His Niwi account, the one with the transphøbia & -ism interactions, is still up but has been privated.

The name change is still up which shows that he still stands by his views. Do with that info as you will, just no harassment towards said account please & thanks.

I hope this is the last time I have to say anything or update people on the issue.

Some personal thoughts & feelings under the cut ⬇️

I am now further disappointed with Tom. I do not know if he said anything before deactivating, like a farewell or a "will be back eventually".

If he had of simply given it some time, let the dust settle, realign his mental state and then try to figure out why this was so hurtful to his fanbase. He could of had a chance to return & continue on; if he wanted too.

Of course, not everyone would be happy to see him return. Not everyone would even interact with his accounts or be willing to be in the fandom again. But it was still an option, especially if he uses this as a learning opportunity, not just for past fans or present fans, but for himself.

I personally won't be supporting Tom unless some serious growth & acknowledgment is shown. Unfortunately, I don't think thats going to happen any time soon due to the examples & links above. It might never happen or it might take months/years.

I hope Tom is safe & I hope everyone else is safe aswell. Make sure to look after yourselves & reach out to those you trust if you're not doing too hot xx

For now I will change my hyperfocus from Jacob & co onto other games & characters. It hurts to do so but there are so many good peeps out there & we shouldn't be afraid to trust them. I hug anyone who now is because of this situation 🫂

I will forever be into Milo (@/solarchaotica's oc) & will be getting back into LoveLock so I can bully my fave character Walter even tho Seb is the fan fave lol

My personal feelings on all of this? It's shitty.

People defending all of the horrible evidence, without saying they don't agree with aspects of these "questionable" simply because they want to defend CK; is shitty.

People putting things in other people's mouths, is shitty.

People burying their heads in the sand because they want to ignore it all; is shitty.

People giving excuses, even excuses as to why they are ignoring this issue or ignoring certain parts of this issue, is shitty.

People who genuinely support these types of beliefs, only joined in because they're genuinely phobic & aren't even in the L4L/murdersim community; is shitty. (& Yes I've seen it happen)

People who harrass anyone involved, Tom himself, is shitty.

People who use this as evidence to defend other past users actions, is shitty.

People who lash out their hurt through nasty words & ill wishes upon others, is shitty.

People who say anything about Tom or others ky$-ing themselves, are super mega shitty like wtf??? Don't do that???? I only saw one person but still????

It's all just super mega shitty and I hate it so much and it hurts so much to see other people be so so hurt and just aaahshsgskxbdjfb. I cried the first day, not because of my personal feelings, but because of others talking openly about how hurt this made them. Seeing my friends be hurt. Strangers be hurt. Mutuals be hurt. I could still cry if I let myself dwell on it for too long.

I wish things could of ended up better. When I posted on the situation I tried to tell peeps to keep an open mind & to look after themselves. I just hope this is a learning experience for alot of people.

there really does need to be a queer person in the writers' room on every show with queer characters, if only to explain how to better describe 'profound' relationships.

bc this happens all the time with showrunners fumbling for ways to describe a not-necessarily-sexually-prioritized relationship between same-sex characters

it's like somewhere in our evolution 'straight' men forgot that you can express your Profound Emotions with sex or other physical ways just to experience closeness and love.

like sexual attraction can evolve from profound emotions. they aren't inherently mutually exclusive. you can have two people who aren't initially attracted to each other and then over the course of knowing each other attraction blooms from simply caring for that person.

it's wild that ppl don't get that. is it a straight person thing? Do you have to be horny for a person from the go or it doesn't count?

like i'm absolutely serious, there needs to be studies on this phenomenon. there's something here in the miscommunication of what love can look like that is fucking fascinating.

Seeing this in 2024 is actually sick

[orchidvioletindigo]

A bill requiring age verification to view "material harmful to minors" in Indiana has been signed into law by the governor. SB 17 goes into effect the day after Pride Month ends this year.

[englishflagcumrag]

is it not fucking bonkers to anyone else that for a while on this website asexuality was like a silly cringe punchline even to people who were ostensibly cool about aspec people as a whole. like even though i think we've abandoned it for the most part, i don't know that the dust has really ever settled. the idea of calling this tendency aphobia even in retrospect feels frivolous and childish to me because that's how talking about aphobia was seen for a very long time even though that is DEFINITIONALLY what that is.

[redheadbigshoes]

Sometimes it feels like y’all talk so much about [insert phobia] that whenever we want to talk about homophobia (against specifically gays), lesbophobia or acephobia we don’t have space for that.

It’s like we’re not listened to and people inside the community think 1) lgbt people can’t be homophobic, lesbophobic or acephobic 2) and they seem to think us having like 2 seconds to talk about the prejudices of those identities means that we don’t care about other phobias in the community…

[awakefor48hours]

"This character isn't good rep because they were only confirmed to be queer/trans after the story ended." No, we are not doing this! Stop it!

[queerasf4ck]

Some of you are so weird about labels. You’ll be like, "We must maintain the purity of this label by policing how others use it." What are you, the Catholic Church? Chill.
