Here’s the thing: antis think that pro-shippers want everyone to enjoy the same things as them. They think that we aren’t allowing them to dislike things. That’s not the problem here. You can dislike my ships all you want. I don’t care. I don’t want to force something on you that makes you uncomfortable. We’re not telling antis to get over their dislikes and their discomforts. Those feelings are valid. What we want them to do is to stop coming into our spaces and telling us we are wrong. Cater your own internet experience. Use the block button and filters. You’re allowed to dislike things and be uncomfortable with things. You’re not allowed to harass people over said things.

Hey everyone! Been messing around with this app called Gacha Studio. Been messing around and making one of my stories using it called "Skylar and the Guardians". It's not perfect but for someone who can't draw worth crap it's a nice medium to use! The photos on here are from chapter 2 but chapter 1 of "Skylar and the Guardians" is on my YouTube channel "Sorax Kingdom" if anyone wants to check it out 😊. Hope everyone is having a great Black Friday and being safe! #CustomCast #gacha #gachastudio #gachaverse #customcasted #gachastory #gachaedits #storytelling #CUSTOMCASTAPP #customcastgamer #gachaedits #customcastavatar https://www.instagram.com/p/CWwRgRFrXQ1/?utm_medium=tumblr

Tried to see if I could make a human form of Mikey from TMNT in Custom Cast. I think he turned out pretty adorable, don't you? #customcastavatars #CustomCast #customcastedit #TMNT #humanTMNT #customcastavatar #customcasted #Michelangelo #ninjaturtle #humanMikey #Mikeytmnt #CUSTOMCASTAPP #customcastingitup https://www.instagram.com/p/CWsixfyLJDG/?utm_medium=tumblr

I know people use phrases like “he’s changing the game” and “nobody’s doing it like him” a lot for musicians, but I don’t think this is an exaggeration at all when talking about Lil Nas X. 

When I first saw the music video for Montero (Call Me By Your Name), I just kept thinking about how I had never seen a music video like it, ESPECIALLY from such a well-known artist. I’ve seen plenty of videos where a man is being sexy, but never in the way that Lil Nas X does it in that video. He sings about riding dick while giving a lap dance. I’m sure there are so many music videos where a male singer does this, but I’ve never seen them because gay men who express their sexuality in that way are usually prevented from becoming household names.

And he is getting a lot of pushback for it. People are saying that he’s trying to indoctrinate children, that he’s pushing an agenda, that he’s part of the ruination of society. Gay men are seen as sex-crazy predators, and so are androgynous men. For him to make this video expressing himself and his sexuality in the way HE wanted to, knowing how people would take it, especially as a black man, and then attaching his real name to it?

It’s trending at #1 on youtube and there’s been a huge positive response to it, but he’s risking a lot by releasing this video. The whole theme of the video is religious persecution, and we’re seeing that exact thing happen to him in real time. He’s being called a sinner, he’s being told he’s going to hell, he’s being told that god doesn’t love him. 

This song and video are resonating with SO MANY people. People who grew up with a religion that teaches that people like them are wrong, with parents who seek to destroy what they do not understand,  who have had a closeted partner who only told them they loved them in private, who told themselves that they would never come out to anyone, with people who have struggled with internalized homophobia. 

Since the world already has their eyes on Lil Nas X, he’s decided to represent himself the way he wants to and tell the stories he wants to tell. From this video to wearing a bright pink leather harness on the red carpet to doing drag on halloween, he is showing everyone that he is not ashamed of who he is and he’s willing to put himself and his career at risk to be that person. By doing this, he’s showing others that people like him exist and it’s ok and it’s good.

Lil Nas X is changing the game. His success will open doors for more artists like him. I believe he’s going to help change the public perception of what hip-hop can be, and maybe even what a man can be.

Side Note To Fan Fic Authors

Here’s the thing.

I read a lot of scripts.  A lot.  From professionals to aspiring writers to complete newbies.  Features and pilots.  Specs and treatments.

And 8 times out of 10 the fan fic that I’ve read over the last, oh, 15 years is leagues better than this stuff.  It’s more inspired.  It’s more compelling.  It’s genre bending and creative and heartfelt.  It’s well-paced and intense and funny and sexy and meaningful.  It’s smart and thoughtful and good.  It’s novel-quality.  Better than, sometimes.

Rare is the script I don’t want to put down, but how often have we stayed up until 3am to get to the last chapter of a 100k fic? And it’s not even a fan fic author’s day job.  This is what they do on the side.  In their spare time.  For free.

So my point is, fan fic authors, you’re good.  You’re good writers and great storytellers.  I know it doesn’t always feel like it, especially if you’re one of the authors who’s not a BNF and doesn’t get the notes/hits that a few do.  And  because some people still view fic as “not real writing.” You guys know the shit that gets made into movies.  You’re better than that.  So be better than that.  If writing is what you think want to do, then just know you’re already doing it.   You’ve already started.

And you’re more talented than you might think.

“not everything has to be gay” it does actually

[soraxkingdom]

We need to normalize reading fanfiction. Sure, a lot of it happens to be very horny, but so much of it isn’t and I’ve read more than a few masterpieces on AO3.

Praying for the day that I can tell someone I read an incredible story and when they ask what it was I confidently can say it was a 500K Enemies to Lovers Slow Burn
