lemme try this again
Hey Tumblr! I'm writing a book. It's 102k words (and counting) of pure queer fantasy and a year's worth of emotions.
It's about a queer kid finding community and support, and then stepping up to defend the people they love. And it's about falling in love and finding yourself, and it's about trust, and connection, and responsibility, and trying to do good in the world. It is also about gay.
Blurb thing:
Destiny has always been alone, self-isolating so that no one will find out about her magic, the same power that she watched a little girl dragged away for nine years ago. Then she meets Vida, a beautiful fae whose kiss sparks something inside her, and Destiny chooses to follow her.
She's not expecting Vida's family to be a werewolf pack. Or that they'll be so welcoming— she was told werewolves are monsters, after all. She's definitely not expecting them to become her own family.
But when Destiny begins to change, it's the wolves who accept him for who he is. And it's the wolves who are the first to see Destiny's magic and swear to protect them, no matter what. And it's up to Destiny to decide what that looks like.
Even if it means changing the world.
(yes the pronoun shifts in the almost-last paragraph were intentional)
And now a quote:
“Don’t you ever want to do something you’re not supposed to? Love the wrong way, be the wrong person, want the wrong things?”
If this sounds like your cup of tea, rb and let me know! I'm not sure when I'll start posting it, there's still a few edits I need to get done, but encouragement will definitely make that happen sooner~

I’m aware some of those of these ethnicities don’t consider themselves Middle Eastern, so take this with a grain of salt and just an opportunity to celebrate who you are :)

cishet men who complain abt women having high-standards are hilarious to me.
before we even DATED all my partner had to do was hold my hand in a crowd and gently guide me with a hand on my back and i was at home daydreaming. he consistently checked on me in group settings and was always willing to help? SWOON.
its not that hard

i honestly think some people (queer and not) are a bit too comfortable asking others what their sexuality is, that’s something someone can tell you if it’s relevant and if they’re ready.
i was at pride yesterday and a friend of a friend (who i’ve met a few times) straight up asked my friend if she was “going as an ally or something else” and i’m like??? that is NOT an appropriate question to ask someone. my friend is openly bi, but she could not have been? like… some ppl are not comfortable sharing their sexuality openly like that, and someone’s sexuality is basically only your business if you’re planning on dating them or something like that, and even then it’s not really appropriate to ask something like that in a big public setting like that.
i know she meant no harm, but it’s not the first time experiencing something like that and that really makes me think about how some ppl need to start thinking more about how personal of a question can be.
some ppl might not know, some might not be comfortable being open about it in a public setting, some might not be ready to tell people etc. and all those ppl have a right to be at pride and other queer events without being questioned, they should be able to be as comfortable as possible!
#i mean i think allies should be allowed at pride too#but it’s honestly just such an inappropriate question to ask#and i KNOW she did not mean any harm but yeah… it did not sit right with me tbh#queer#lgbt#lgbtqia#lgbtq+#lgbtqi#lgbtqia+#gay#lesbian#trans#transgender#nonbinary#genderqueer#mlm#wlw#nblm#nblw#text#achillean#sapphic#lgbtq#lgbtq community#text post#bisexual#bi#pansexual#pan

Having a twin who is a monster hunter and being mistaken as them. Quickly overwhelmed and knocked unconscious. Waking up all tied up and a monster looming over you. Just barely being able to convince them that you're not your twin, you don't hunt monsters, you deliberately kept away from that world and your twin because of situations like this. They keep you around as a collateral, eventual as leverage against your twin. Taking awhile for both the monster and you to be less tense around each other. They no longer sneer when in your presence. Maybe they offer a little bit more freedom then just being confined to a room. Starting to humanize the other. A week or more goes by and touches start to linger. Gazes are softer. More time seems to pass and they still haven't notified your twin, the monster hunter, the reason why you're here. One night, in a whirlwind of emotion, rough hands grip your thighs. Beautiful marks blossom on your skin. Very primal feelings. Hot breath in your ears, down your chest, in-between your legs. Moans, gasps, grunts echo the walls. The ache of them inside you, taking full control. Dancing with the enemy. With your twin not having a clue.

a silly little sapphic animatic for u :) <3
///
[VIDEO ID: A short clip consisting of four illustrated panels. In the first panel, a woman wearing a purply-orange shirt, a nose piercing, and a pearl necklace looks down and to the side, seemingly deep in thought. She has black wavy hair that comes to her shoulders, brown eyes, and medium-dark skin. In the next panel, her eyes shift to look at the viewer, and she's smiling slightly. In the third panel, the woman has turned fully towards the viewer and is smiling. In the fourth and final panel, a different woman (sketched, no rendering or colour) looks towards the viewer (she's intended to be looking at the first woman). She has longer wavy hair and wears an expression of adoration/reverence. Sketched pink lines extend out from behind the second woman's head. Audio from the Magnus Archives plays in the background: "I never understood the phrase 'like a deer in the headlights' until she looked me in the eyes for the first time". END OF VIDEO ID]

noticed a trend in the lgbt community where women and/or sapphics make something that's meant to reflect a community culture (ex: sapphic as a term + flag, lesbian flag, etc), organize and create community projects (trans women doing this and working towards recognition/acceptance) or creating terms meant to describe misogynistic oppression (you know which ones), men decide that they need something like it In The Exact Same Way to the point of piggybacking off of it or complaining about it. like just blatantly copying it even when there wasn't/isnt historical backing for them having the exact same thing . there's a very "what about me"-ism to it all
#like the whole 'it's just a flag' thing set a precedent that laid the groundwork for unchecked misogyny#the problem wasn't *just a flag* the problem was the blatant disrespect even though it didnt seem like a big deal on the surface#* i wrote women and/or sapphics cause emily gwen is a nonbinary lesbian and i specifically mentioned the lesbian flag#does this like. make sense. this post feels very messy#honestly it could be summed up as 'entitlement from men and misogyny'#with a dash of 'i am feel uncomfortable when we are not about me ?'

lovingly still drawing mlp redesigns in the year of our lord 2024 these are kind of for a very casual next gen au of mine, but honestly i just like imagining ponies in different ways :-) (more info + headcanons under the cut!)
fluttershy: - trans (she/her), sapphic, autistic - she's a deerpony mix, with her maternal grandmother being a deer and her maternal grandfather a pegasus. - has sensory issues with cutting her hair, so she's content to just let it be long. - has large wings, but not a lot of strength. she's better at gliding, and can't really get herself into the air very well. - tallest of the mane six. twilight: - nonbinary (they/she), bisexual, autistic - all ponies have magic in them that can give their bodies physical changes, with twilight being an extreme example. the star patterns on her chest appeared after wielding the elements of harmony for the first time, the stars on her hooves appeared after becoming an alicorn, and the yellow streak in her hair appeared after defeating tirek. - has fairly bad eyesight, but prefers using her glasses rather than using magic to fix her vision. - can't fly as fast as most pegasi, but has good endurance. - shortest of the mane six, although she's only barely shorter than rainbow. pinkie pie: - gnc (any pronouns, but loves being called sister), pansexual - her full name is rose quartz pie, in line with the rock and gemstone theme in her family, but pinkie was a nickname that just stuck. - chiffon swirl/mrs. cake is her maternal aunt, they have more in common than pinkie does with her mom, but pinkie loves them both equally. - her strength nearly rivals applejack, she has super strong legs from bouncing and jumping everywhere. applejack: - bigender (he/she), sapphic - inherited her father's hat and her mother's hairbands - all of the apple siblings have accessories left to them by their parents. - prefers going by AJ or jackie, only granny smith usually calls her by her full name. - ties up her hair when working, and keeps the fetlocks on her back hooves trimmed short.
rainbow dash: - nonbinary (he/she/they), queer, ADHD - like twilight, rainbow has extreme examples of her body changing with magic. her cutie mark got longer after performing each sonic rainboom, and the colors in her hair appeared after she got her cutie mark to begin with. - originally named bluejay dash, changed her name to match her new look. her parents still call her "jay" from time to time. - never quite shook the rainbow crash nickname, she's a great flier but not so great at landings. has a fair share of scrapes and bruises, but they dont bother her. rarity: - cis (she/her), omnisexual - part crystal pony on her dad's side, her mane and coat have a slight crystaline look to them in the right light. - changes her hairstyle a lot, but has it tied up when working in her studio. - crafts beautiful jewelry, in addition to her clothes and accessories.

happy pride month everyone!!!!! have a small selection of little headcanons i have for some of my faves :3
this definitely isn't a full list of all of my personal headcanons, just a few that i really like. i've put the flag names/some thoughts under the cut! these are just my personal thoughts and it is perfectly wonderful if you disagree with any/all of them!
from left to right:
rosie: the rainbow flag. she is an enjoyer of women and everyone woman-adjacent!
henry: bi and nonbinary. i have such a fond spot in my heart for he/they henry!
james: genderfluid and biromantic. collects all the pronouns, with a preference for he and she depending on the vibes of the moment! i enjoy headcanoning james as biromantic and a big enjoyer of romance and flirting, but he is sooo bad at it. he tries out all of his best pickup lines on his friends and they just laugh in his face (with affection and care, mostly!) because she's just so terrible at them. she has never successfully flirted with anyone in her life and i love that for him < 3
emily: lesbian. professional enjoyer of all women. she fits so well with almost every single woman she meets and it is splendid. i really love in the great race how she has little chats with ashima and seems to really like her, it's a really sweet little bit of background interaction i enjoy. also, best engine ever is wonderful and her n caitlin are so sweet. give emily her women!
ryan: aroace. i honestly don't think i have much to say about this one, i just really like it.. though i also like ryan/thomas and ryan/daisy hehe. eh, those can all live in harmony in my brain :3
oliver: gay. professional enjoyer of men and those men-adjacent. i have a little comic planned that i will be making soon with him and douglas hehe
rebecca: omnisexual. i used to have rebecca as pan in my mind, but @togetherness23 (who has loads of gorgeous flags colourpicked from screenshots and is currently running a ttte sapphic ships poll tournament, go check them out if you haven't already!!!) has influences me with a gorgeous colourpicked omni rebecca and now i have to admit i can't think of her as anything else, omni tracks soooo well for her i love it!
anywayss, thanks for reading this if you get this far and have a wonderful day (and wonderful pride month!!) everyone!

MY HEADCANONS FOR TDAC (main cast) CHARACTERS LGBTQ+ WISE cause although I don't find it important per se it still effects the way I look at the characters.
Going in alphabetical order:
Bubble- I don't necessarily see them as anything? If that makes sense. Like just unlabeled on everything, but not even calling themself 'unlabeled'. Bubble is Bubble.
Caine- AROACE. THERE NO WAY BRO ISN'T. My headcanon started immediately when I saw his face with the Moon. The absolute look of fear. That is an ace man if I've ever seen one. "Let's get outta here before the moon starts getting frisky!! o.0 " His desire to keep everything as pg as possible?? I dunno, he just gives me ace vibes ong. AND THEN- I just personally can't see him as being romantically into anyone. Like just an example, the scene in the restaurant. Typically in scenes like that in the media it's portrayed as a romantic evening/date. BUT IT WASN'T. It was him with his fucked up dog 😭 COMING BACK AFTER THE NEW EPISODE?? THAT MAN IS AROACE!!!!
Gangle- That is a nonbinary person if I've ever seen one. Demigirl perhaps?? Either way, I'm jealous of the androgyny that mfka has. I'm not too sure sexuality wise, as a multishipper. (I honestly j consume most tadc media so I'm not sure if that counts as being a multishipper lol) I would like to think that they use she/they pronouns and is maybe pansexual. (:
Jax- I was dreading doing bro. I wanna say cis man?? But I can also see agender using he/him. Gender just isn't something that concerns him. His only concern is being a little bitch. LMAO. And sexuality wise?? He's definitely got some queer flair to him. So imo Imma just say queer. :3 Like he knew he was gay to some extent?? And just stuck with the label. ALSO ADDING ON AFTER THE NEW EP, in my opinion he doesn’t have any interest in figuring out gender or sexuality, he only likes being an absolute bitch LMAO. I like him though so I GUESSSSSS it’s okay. Maybe.
Kinger- OKAY. SO. HE'S CISHET. AN ALLY. BUT CISHET. I personally hate when fandoms see a weak and/or smaller man and immediately label him as trans and/or queer. CAUSE BRO, MEN CAN BE MALEWIVES LET THEM BE!!! He's definitely the typa man to be called babygirl. Like imagine Jerma or Paul Dano, a silly cishet man who is in fact babygirl.
Pomni- BISEXUAL WOMAN. Bros got the bi-haircut. That's my only reasoning./hj But seriously?? As a bi person myself leaning toward my gender?? I can genuinely see that for her. It's canon, trust/j
Ragatha- SAPPHIC. THIS WOMAN LOVEEEESSSSSS KISSING OTHER WOMEN!!!! She loves women so much. It’s always a good day to be gay if your Ragatha.
Zooble- Non-binary. (Duh lol) But I’d like to say sexuality wise they lean more towards women. Zooble loves kissing women. Not as much as Ragatha, but hey, it’s the thought that counts.

Livestream thoughts
This is largely just stream-of-consciousness (and it’s very long) and was written mostly for me, but I figured I’d share it because I always love reading these from other people
Sam’s London Eye bit during the intro is amazing
“One hit, it’s in the hole” I heard your fucking double meaning, Tom
“I’m really French. And because of that, I’m going to surrender immediately.” Who else thought of, “We are French. We are very good at surrendering.”?
“You clutched my foot and stood on my nipple” Sam immediately trying to make that position???
“Now look at me” and then Sam moaning is just so on brand for him
Tom and AJ just almost kissing between scenes for no reason came out of nowhere
Is Angel Station always closed? Because they’ve brought that up in multiple shows now
“I’m still wet—and not in the good way” Sam
Sam fucking with the way Letters works killed me—honestly, I think they should play that way again, because it was great; it was kind of a combination Letters and Timewarp
Also the overstimulated public transport user? Very relatable.
“Oh, it’s one of those letters” got me so badly
The weird incestuous direction of the letter was concerningly not surprising
The immortal economy brothers??? are amazing
“I don’t think you want to say it, do you? But I think I might have to insist at this point. And once I’ve insisted, I might regret it.” I adore it when they break character to fuck with each other
“We get a shovel and a high-quality camera, and we dig up the Queen” Sam is on fire today oh my god
“We’ll do a sepia filter” why????
“Well, I don’t see any problem with that” brilliant, Tom
Nonbinary parrot!
“I’ve never been able to walk ever since” oh my god, AJ, way to raise the fucking stakes
“Next Christmas” TOM
Sam getting to correct Tom’s English? What reversed alternate universe do we live in?
Watching this the same day I finished the second season of Interview with the Vampire, and when Sam is raising Tom from the dead in Puppets, all I can think about is that line about how no one ever asks Lazarus if he wants to be resurrected (I don’t know why this is what went through my mind, but it is)
“I kind of want to see how karaoke goes” Sam’s fucking face oh my god
The sapphic exes in Book Game????
Also Tom third-wheeling the sapphic exes in Book Game (“this is really hot”)
AJ’s character smashing a glass and Sam moaning is, again, so not surprising at this point
Also what British Prime Minister was nicknamed “pretty fanny”????? I feel like I’m missing some context as an American
“…Daddy” SAM fucking hell
“~Funky~” the way he said that????
“I will miss your nipples pressing into my nipples” what the fuck
“You wanted to join the Nazis” Sam “edgy joke” Russell, everyone
Sam standing there with his hand on AJ’s head and laughing before he could get his joke out was phenomenal, but AJ going, “don’t—shut up” killed me
AJ making the bald joke for them never gets old
“There’s a new handhold here” good god, Tom
AJ just jumping on Sam… I’m honestly not surprised at this point
“Listen, Luke—” honestly I really want to know what AJ was going for
“It’s salty” TOM oh my god
“I will give you Sexy Mates” I mean, I’d watch that (I’m so sorry; the joke has to be made)
I so seriously thought they were going to reveal they’d met before in the first scene of the longform
“I’m not good at social interactions” me neither babe
“I’m a mortician” that was so out of pocket
“I’m embarrassed to say this, but what is that?” I feel like that was a genuine question
Sam, I’m pretty sure morticians do not determine cause of death
I feel like Sam was going for his character being a killer at the beginning, which is interesting in the context of the full play
“You’ve not said anything funny yet” damn, Sam
“You remembered my name!” “Yeah.” “I didn’t!” AJ remembered a name that Sam didn’t???
“Why does this always happen?” Tom elaborate????
Tom just having to lie there behind the curtain sends me
“I go inside a lot of dead people” ah, there’s the necrophilia joke we were all expecting
“You make my life better” babe you just met
Sam killing AJ with his horrible French pronunciations took me out
Monsieur Pamplemousse, the Swiss waiter
“I’m just a rat” I love Tom
I love Sam just refusing to help Tom by playing the second driver
Gay train driver husbands!!!!!
Sam pushing the Scottish accent down reminded me so vividly of Caravan
I love AJ not knowing what to name himself
I love Sam forcing Tom to continue talking and then immediately regretting it
“Two sides of the same coin” AJ AJ AJ AJ YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO MY MERTHUR HEART do you have any idea the way I choked when I heard that
The power of Scotland! (Moist and Magical flashbacks, anyone?)
There’s been a lot of audience singing in recent livestreams, hasn’t there?
“Title of the play I don’t remember” SAM
Also okay so this play was amazing but it had absolutely nothing to do with the title
I had an amazing time as always
#all in all 10/10#it was an amazing show#(also if any of my comments could be read as criticism I promise they’re not meant that way)#(this is all very positive)#(I had a great time with this)#(genuinely up there with some of my favourites to date)#shoot from the hip#sfth#sfth patreon#Nightshadow’s watchthrough thoughts

Vivziepop and Queer Rep
As we all know, many fans and media reps alike have commented on the apparent "queer rep" seen in both Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel with many sighting their MLM relationships and use of Sallie May as proof of Vivzie's dedication to queer rep. Yet for how much this idea is spouted across social media, I cannot say that Viv truly cares about Queer Representation in her shows. The apex of this disagreement comes from phrase that man people seem to not remember when it comes down to queer rep: Representation for one is not Representation for all.
In her hyperfocus on thin, cis mlm relationships, Vivzie creates rep for only those relationships, leaving behind countless other queer identities and relationships that also heavily need queer rep. The largest dismissal of queer individuals/relationships in HH or HB appears in characters that fall into one of three categories, The Fat, Sapphic, and The Nonbinary.
The Fat
When some of you look at this, you may be confused as to what fatness has to do with queer rep, I would tell you that it has a lot to do with it. Fat people are not inherently removed from queerness and have been there since the beginning, the creation of the term Bear is proof of that. This is the first strike on HH and HB's records.
As many other creators have thoroughly pointed out, fat representation is abysmal in both HH and HB with either shows either lacking fat rep completely or having fat characters made using more fatphobic stereotypes than I could count. With this poor managing of fat representation, its no surprise that Vivzie pop ignores all possible avenues of queer rep with fat people involved. This also impacts her presentation of mlm ships with all those in these ships only appear as thin cis men, not a single bear or trans man in sight.
The Sapphic
The second largest and arguably most obvious strike against Viv comes in her disturbing lack of sapphic relationships in both shows. While HH has at least one sapphic ship (Charlie and Vaggie), HH has none to speak of. As a result, Viv's ratio of Sapphic to Achillean relationships is heavily one-sided.
It shouldn't take me having to say this for many of you to realize that you cannot claim to have true or complete queer representation when you ignore a whole side of the queer community. While this issue in sapphic relationships likely tied to Vivzie's smaller amount of women in her stories, this does not excuse it. Having one or two of these secondary characters be in a sapphic relationship (especially Sallie May) be shown or even mentioned in passing (not random background shoots) has having a girlfriend would fix this issue, but we cannot even get that.
The Nonbinary
The final strike against Vivzie's queer rep comes in both shows ignoring the existence of nonbinary characters as a whole. While we get some presentation for the binary trans community (even though most are background characters never seen again besides Sallie May), we have yet to see a single nonbinary character in either show's canon.
This is honestly fucking ridiculous. To ignore an entire gender identity because its easier or you simply don't want to is ridiculous and should strip any claimed queer rep media from their title. Nonbinary people have always existed throughout time in different countries and cultures. To think that they're wouldn't be a single nonbinary sinner or demon in hell after all this time does not make sense.
Trans people on the binary and nonbinary side have the right to representation equally, and even if we were to ignore the concerns about Viv's current trans rep, trans people deserve more rep than random background characters and a one dimensional trans woman.
The Finale
As I end this essay, I do want to say that I wanted to discuss HH and HB's treatment and ignorance of asexuality and aromanticism as they are both highly relevant to the discussion. However, I need to do more digging on Alastor and his ace situation first before I do so in order to prevent spreading misinformation.
But even without this section, I still stand on my belief that neither of Viv's shows should be paraded around as good queer media or as truly supporting queer rep. While HH has a little more leeway with Viv's only sapphic ship, HH and HB still ignore large sections of the queer community. It feels more like Viv is picking at the parts of the community she likes more, grabbing at the more marketable identities and appearances until she has enough to call her show queer.
I hope one day Viv will listen to her fans and critiques about this lack of other queer identities but I will not hold my breath. All that is left to say is that queer people deserve better especially in adult shows and in animation. Picking and choose what queer people you include in your media simply because you like one more is the farthest thing from queer rep.
#I am all of the mentioned things so please don't say Im coming from a place of ignorance here#queer rep is important#and it is not only mlm ships that you can make cutsey fanart of#nor is it only skinny people#helluva boss critical#hazbin hotel critical#vivziepop critical#hazbin hotel criticism#tw fatphobia#helluva boss criticism#The floor is open for questions and discussion#yall should tell me your sapphic headcanons#in the comments

[TW: homophobia, threats of physical violence, SA, gun violence]
IMPORTANT: do not interact with the person mentioned below. please do not send hate or harass ANY of the accounts mentioned. the point of this post is to warn the community of a serious threat, not to dog pile or stir a hate mob. his accounts have been reported and local authorities have been made aware of his potential for harm. Last updated: 01/30/2024. New information begins close to the bottom, starting at the red text.
Some of you may already be familiar with the homophobic incel that was previously filling the Ahsoka & Sabine Wren tags with vile misogyny. He's gone by many names due to banning and deactivations: @sabezrastan01, @longlivetheemporer, @imperialloyalist01, @standorando, and @imperialsycophant. Here's the guy that gave us this classic:
Now, as meme worthy as that post was- it's unfortunately just the tip of the iceberg. Despite his exile from this social media site, he continues to be active on Instagram and TikTok. He also continues to get support from some of the same folks that have been painting sapphics and wolfwren shippers out as vicious bullies.
I didn't intend to find everything I did, but this man constantly comments under official Star Wars media posts calling queer women "degenerates" and "beasts," so it's been hard to miss. It honestly hurts to reread this shit again, but I want to warn anyone who 1) may interact with him without realizing he's a incel neo nazi 2) may be harmed by his continued harassment.
First thing to remember about him- he doesn't just complain about shipping, he has wished death and harm upon multiple people. On top of the two screenshots below, he also discussed wanting to put a bullet in Dave Filoni's head (the alt account was taken down before I thought to screenshot):
He wrote "these people need to be beaten" on a dozen anti-wolfwren posts before his most recent account was taken down. He has embraced the common anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric of queer people being pedophiles and rapists:
He repeatedly brings rape up unprompted, especially when talking to nonbinary folks and women:
Plus buys into the "woke agenda" causing queer relationships to happen in media:
You'll notice the irony of him "worrying" wolfwren shippers are going to threaten the actors, despite him previously threatening to kill Dave Filoni and beat wolfwren shippers. He seems to be projecting a lot of his own desires and wishes onto other people, which will become even more obvious further down this post.
Now, thankfully his last tumblr account was taken down for inciting violence, but as i mentioned before, it's hard to miss him on other platforms:
Out of morbid curiosity I clicked on his account, and it's unfortunately what you would expect for from an incel. His follower and following list is littered with white nationalists, militia groups, tactical gear stores, weapon vendors, alt-right religious orgs, and 4chan neo nazis.
Instagram Followers:
Instagram Following:
It's clean he's unhinged and a danger to those who don't share similar interests. He seems to make allowances for anyone who ships sabezra, but otherwise is a diehard supporter of alt-right Christian nationalist beliefs.
One of his previous account names on Instagram was @cajunminuteman, with a confederate flag as his pfp. In current alt right groups, a minuteman is a person who is ready to pick up a gun and fight on a minutes' notice, typically in a militia against the government. His previous account also followed a number of Christian Southern Nationalist accounts:
There are a number of shippers that continue to interact with this man. Most sabezra shippers I've chatted with are very sweet, some of you even share discord servers with me and have so much love for this fandom. I'm only asking those of you who choose to ignore this man's threats of violence to revaluate how far you are willing to go to support a fictional ship.
Wolfwren shippers have bore the brunt of fandom hate and harassment since Ahsoka started airing. We continue to get called degenerates, rapists, pedophiles, and threatened with physical violence. This is not the same, or in any way equivalent, to silly jokes made about fictional ships being made canon. It's exhausting to get constant harassment in real life AND online.
Are there mean wolfwren shippers? Absolutely. I'm sorry queer people sometimes cheer on cishet ships not becoming canon, I know it sucks when it's over something you like. No, enjoying cishet ships doesn't make you any less queer, and I'm sorry there was an asshole out there that said that shit. But can we PLEASE stop acting like sapphics and wolfwren enjoyers are ALWAYS bullies? That we're somehow always the ones threatening people? It plays into the alt-right rhetoric of the LGBTQIA+ community being predators and I'm so sick of it, especially when there is so much outright vile hate for queers.
If there are any wolfwrens sending hate and/or threats, I am begging for an example or name so they can be reported properly. None of us condone any of the nasty shit that's been sent, we deal with enough hate irl. This man's closest friends aren't much better, joking about wanting to hurt wolfwren shippers and how the LGBTQIA+ community is a bad thing:
The most recent return to tumblr was under account @imperialsycophant where he tried to pretend he wasn't the same incel loser:
He eventually went mask off, realizing that most people weren't foolded:
On January 24 2024, his most recent Instagram account (@imperialloyalist01) was taken down. Less than 24 hours later, a sabezra shipper DM'd me asking me to delete this post. I explained to the shipper that the point of this post was to warn the fandom as a whole of this guy's behaviour, and at multiple points I make it clear everyone should stay away + not engage any of the accounts involved.
Everything included in this thread is public information taken from public posts or public accounts. The shipper who DM'd me still demanded I remove this post, as it could "hurt their friends."
The context of who the incel associates himself with is helpful when conveying the severity & underlying motives of his actions. There are approximately two non alt-right/neo-nazi accounts in the following/follower lists I shared. Those who were following @imperialloyalist01 up until January 24th were both privately and publicly made aware they were following a person threatening harm against others, but they continued to like, comment, and follow the account. This does not mean any of them should be harassed or bothered. It simply provides additional context to the situation and will hopefully aid others in forming their own opinions on who they wish to befriend.
When I reminded the shipper who DM'd me that their friends were continuing to make jokes about hitting/hurting wolfwren shippers, AND tagging wolfwren in those edits, I did not get a response. However, what I did get was mass spam reported.
Shortly after I sent the above message and the sabezra shipper realized I would not be taking this post down, my account was hate reported and temporarily terminated. Tumblr has an automated feature that bans accounts immediately (out of safety) if they are reported by a large group of people at the same time (which is fair, say someone posts torture or something terrible). Thankfully, after I emailed the abuse support team and explained the situation, they reinstated my account:
I will not be sharing the name of the sabezra shippers who tried to take down my account. I already get harassed enough, and I don't want anyone to go through the same shit. Please remember that a small group of bad people do NOT represent an entire community. There are plenty of sweet sabezra shippers that do not support this kind of disgusting and hateful behaviour.
Key takeaways: don't send hate or threats. Let people have their fun online while they attempt to avoid the Horrors of real life. Please don't support people spewing vile hate JUST because they like the same fictional ships as you.

(Feel the need to state this up front: I'm bisexual, afab, kinda cis but also kinda trans, nonbinary isn't the word I'd use for myself but... alas, it's the only one people recognize as a general consensus)
I've started to understand why the term sapphic is more appealing to some people, but it still really bothers me as a descriptor/category. When talking to a friend about it (she strongly prefers Sapphic as a term), I started to sus out why:
The vast majority of my initial exposure to the term was always attached to something... aesthetic? Stories or art or music, but of a specific *type*. To the point where it gained a hyperspecific meaning of a period or historical setting, "gay woman trapped in comphet marriage and needs to be saved by bold lesbian", young girls fooling around with girls with no need for commitment because everything is fleeting and nothing is permanent and choices dont matter... on their own, these are perfectly fine narrative choices and are fun to play in sometimes, but they sure start to just seem... repetitive and restrictive and borderline fetishizing. To me, it reads as a term specifying that the love women feel for other women is the only kind allowed, that it's true and pure in a way the love a woman feels for a man isnt, and that her true self can never be realized without admitting she was in love with women since the beginning and was always supposed to be. Achillean gives me the exact same vibe.
On the other hand, my friend feels the term is *less* specific, and to her it allows *more* room for people who don't identify strictly as feminine or as a lesbian, for her it just is a broad umbrella term that allows for any variation of girl-identifying-person who likes girl-identifying-people.
Ultimately, I don't think she's wrong, and I don't know that my interpretation is right. But I think I've been exposed to a.... imma call it a "hyper-aggressive romanticization" of a particular way of existing that just puts me on edge in a way that's hard to explain to people who don't feel the same way about it. I don't think there's anything wrong with romanticizing something like that it's just that... for me, who still identifies as a woman despite being om T, who is married to a cis woman, etc... it feels ironically exclusionary and fetishizing, and mostly feels fantastical and escapist, rather than grounded in anything real.
TL:DR, it feels like a book genre, not a usable term/identifier
Ohhhhh okay I see I wasn't sure if there was something actually problematic about the term that I wasn't aware of, that sounds like it's just a preference based off of the vibes of the way some people use it
honestly I prefer sapphic and achillean because the terms "wlw" and "mlm" are so clunky and hard to say and sound goofy in my brain lmao not to mention the fact that mlm has a separate negative meaning that gets mixed up a lot
and the term "lesbian" is very specific and doesn't apply to all women who are attracted to women
so like....... idk I guess it sucks that some people have given the term sapphic a bad association for some but I'm gonna keep usin it if that's the only reason why bc I don't really care about all that and if ppl know me then they'll be able to tell that I'm not being a weirdo about it lol
