since pride month is coming to an end soon, i wanted to reblog this absolutely amazing list of lgbtqia+ books that i really love <3

favorites of mine are kitchen by banana yoshimoto, call me by your name by andre aciman, and the picture of dorian gray by oscar wilde. i highly recommend reading kitchen by banana yoshimoto if you can get your hands on the english ( if you cannot read japanese ) version as it has such deep and profound characters !!

Can you give me some LGBTQ+ book recommendations? Thanks x

i love the character building we see for nick in heartstopper comics because it’s not like alice oseman is trying to make the comic merely romantic and merely centered around lgbtq+. i love how he has a sexuality crisis which leads him to discovering that’s he’s bi. i love how nick will never stop standing up for his friends and charlie when they get bullied or called slurs. i love how protective and loving and soft nick isn’t afraid to be with charlie and how wholly he loves the other.

and yes it’s a comic series about a pair of in-love teens, but it also brings up issues of eating disorders, body dysmorphia, and what it means to truly be yourself. it encompasses every hardship every teen probably faces and still lets the queer couple HAVE A HAPPY ENDING !

stan alice oseman, people ! ( and tao xu ofc )

[loveliing]

siri , play “ paper rings ” by taylor swift—

[loveliing]

so adorable and for what ?!?!? 💀 my standards are now way too high and i’ll probably be single forever but fuck it, i’m not gonna lower my standards. why should i when couples like nick and charlie ( albeit fictional…BUT STILL—) exist ?!

[loveliing]

the prettiest, most gorgeous, siren-eyes sweetheart trans bby other than dylan mulvaney on tiktok , like lOrd have mErcy—

[loveliing]

i just want someone to remember me this way i swear, when nick looks out that window and pictures charlie’s smile, my heart hurts.

i know that nobody will ever look at me or remember me that way, with awe in their eyes, like you’re gold and silver and silk and gems all connected into one. like you’re the center of the universe. it’s all so terribly romantic and unrealistic ( for me at least ) but i love this comic series with everything i have in me <3

[loveliing]

he looks just like a dream 💭

( i hate that people are shitting on Joe Locke like shut up, he’s such a sweet looking person who hasn’t done anything wrong .)
