Veiled Queer People Belong In Queer Spaces Too

I've seen this idea that's sort of ingrained in the queer community that someone who dresses modestly and/or veils is either homophobic or doesn't belong in queer spaces. In reality, there are many queer people that wear veils like hijab/niqab, tichel, himation/tegidion, the list goes on. I think that idea comes from veiling being associated with misogyny and misogyny being linked with homophobia. While misogyny is often linked with homophobia, veiling is NOT a misogynistic practice. There's also this idea that men/nonbinary people can't and don't wear veils and many trans men and nonbinary people feel invalidated because queer and cishet people alike don't know that many religions allow and even encourage men to wear veils. In Hellenic polytheism (my religion) men and women alike have historically worn veils like the himation. I get a lot of people asking me why I identify as transmasc while wearing a veil and telling me that there's no point in me being nonbinary while wearing veils.

every time a love interest is apart of a royal family and has "gold" hair but its just normal blonde and they're just freaking blonde and considered of Noble Blood due to that feature or whatever my eyes roll clear back into my skull and I lock gazes with the hamster running circles in my head and we just Look at each other

theyre like infinity stones to me. useless when apart yet unstoppable when fused to my hand.

probably a hot take but i have this wild theory that the person guiding Deathbed Companions is Marika (or at least, offering them help and shelter)

same front pattern on their dress + the only bedchamber seen in-game is Marika's + the Marika statue in Messmer's boss room is veiled in a baldachin.

i've discussed my theory that Marika's betrayal of Maliketh is that she's been on the side of TWLiD all this time and is trying to help Godwyn gain a second life here (going against the very foundation of her Order for her son), idk it just lines up so many things in the game to me.

there's also Capital Perfumers like Tricia being said to be akin to the origin of Deathbed Companion. Perfumers being a group that could only have be trained by Marika and no other (they originated from the Capital, they are originally blessed healers, they specifically use aromantics made from flowers and are always looking for new flower fields, exactly like the setting of Shaman village).

interesting enough i only knew about the front dress pattern & the bedchamber at first, it's only today i look up what a baldachin looks like & holy hell. literally fell to my knees.

Marika being the Queen of Life (in JP dialogue of Melina, her age is called 輝ける生命の時代 - Age of Glistening Life) and having so many symbolism tying her to Deathbed companions - those who embrace the dead and birth them a new glorious life. i am seeing the pattern alright.

(sth sth the lower arc of the Elden Ring is where its bounty pools as per Rune Arc item description, and in the final cutscene of the game we can see the lower arc is literally in the position of Marika's womb and it's where Godwyn's mending rune is returned to)

🔮👻🎃

Third year in a row spending Halloween on the front stoop, handing out candy to neighborhood kids while blasting Halloweentown on the TV inside. Mr Peach always cooks chicken parm (fun fact Mr Peach cooks 90% of the meals in our house) and then we watch another movie before falling asleep at ten. It’s such a stark difference from when we’d be riding the train home at two thirty in the morning practically cross eyed, but I like it way better. When I was younger, I wasn’t convinced I would make it to the age I am now (the world didn’t end when I was seventeen, or nineteen, twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, etc) and these transitions to the next stage of life get sweeter and sweeter.

Anyway, happy Halloween I hope you’re all doing at least one little thing you love or enjoy 🎃

For as long as the heavens could remember, it is rumored that Hua Cheng has a spouse whose identity is hidden behind a veil.

Good news! You aren't required to make your hobbies and passions "marketable." In fact, your crafts, hobbies, and passions don't even need to be public if you so choose. You don't have to spend all of your energy becoming perfect if you aren't enjoying the process. You are not a product, you are a person, a creative, and your work also does not need to be a product.
