life has become so much better since deciding to consume media with unbridled joy. i don’t care if people think it’s cringe, i don’t care if there are flaws. i can simultaneously acknowledge these faults while loving and consuming media that brings me joy.
Since it’s the first day of Pride Month here’s my current collection of LGBT TSC art. :)
I posted them randomly throughout last year, so this is the first time I’ve put them all together. (In order the characters are Alec Lightwood-Bane, Magnus Lightwood-Bane, Aline Penhallow, Diana Wrayburn, Julian Blackthorn, Raphael Santiago, and Kieran Kingson, Mark Blackthorn, and Cristina Rosales, and Lily Chen
do you ever wanna speak up about an important issue? because i do, but i’m sick of hearing:
“you’re 14 so you don’t know enough, you’re a child.”
“why do you know these kind of things?”
but then proceed to say that teenagers don’t talk enough about important topics. ignorant little shit.
like, i love having deep conversations, i don’t care what you’re talking about. but i’m scared to start talking about certain topics, because ‘it isn’t something i should know’. well, you know what? how about i talk about it, and people actually start caring about a certain topic, like depression, lgbt, our screwed up school system, to just name a few.
we go to school, and stress ourselfs out to the point where we don’t do anything anymore that we like to do. all i do is homework. i am too scared to learn a new hobby, scared of screwing up, scared of being judged. in my mind, it’s only school.
in my dreams, school.
when i wake up, school.
when i come home, school.
when i go to bed, school.
but why? good grades are more important these days than actually learning something. i loved learning, until i got so busy and caught up in my mind, that all the fun was gone.
is that what we live for? going to school, get good grades, find a job, work until we can’t no more and then we die? i don’t want to be a machine of this world. i don’t want to be a robot. i have feelings. everyone has feelings. if you read this, you have an opinion about this. you may agree, or disagree. and that’s okay!
i’m a writer. i write in two languages. i have days where i can write scenes that are, in my eyes, really good. and i have days where i can’t make a sentence in both languages.
