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.

Ignore the mask filter, I don't like showing my full face, but this is the current fit, I'm out in public, and I've never worn a headcover like this in public.

I'm super nervous, but I saw one of my buddies, and he immediately cracked a joke to make me feel better. (I'm a Star Wars fan, and he called me darth sidious lol)

But yea, I'm officially veiling in a way closer to what I want outside of work :)

Does anyone know where I can find some pride flag colored headcoverings? I found a couple on Pinterest, but only in rainbow, and I kinda want a nonbinary/genderfluid/or genderqueer one. Maybe I could make my own, but I don't know how to sew.

Might be going to my first pride event this year and I really want to veil if I'm going to be around so many people. I do have a couple of headscarves already if I can't find anything new, but It'd be nice to have more, and on theme.

One of my favorite moments in GtN is when Corona goes “wait wait wait a fucking moment. You’re a GINGER!!” And in order to preserve that beautiful moment I’m gonna need ppl to accept that Gideon is genuinely succeeding at fulfilling Harrow’s early directive to cover her hair for like a third of the book. I KNOW you want to have visual markers to distinguish characters but girlie’s hair is NOT VISIBLE for vast swathes of this shit. Thx I know this is inconvenient 🙏🙏🙏 carry on as you like

I also enjoy modern au goth Harrowhark. But canonically she isn’t alternative. She’s like thee extreme of her cultures traditions and stereotypes I’m sorry. She’s not ur emo gf. She’d be ur classmate who wears brown ankle length skirts and might be happier in a nunnery. She has severe mental illness and it is kissing her faith on the mouth and having neurotic religiously obsessive babies. People would say she reminds them of Carrie white except cold and mean. While u were at hot topic she was reciting the bible from memory in a dark room and abstaining. I want to see modern au Harrow where she veils! I want to see Harrow at uni weirding out her classmates with her unmasked autism and shivering little dog demeanour. Yes yes lesbians want her but gay people understand the allure of an offline girlfriend who collects dead animal pieces and ‘displays’ them in rows on her chest of drawers. She doesn’t wanna look hot!! She doesn’t wanna go to the mall!!! She has never seen the craft sorry lesbians she doesn’t own a tv. She also doesn’t own a laptop (she uses the one at the library or school) and that’s the only reason she’s not been the centre of a tumblr discourse. Possibly about unsanitary bloodplay. Maybe just for being an uppity cunt. I wanna see modern Harrow having the time of her life discussing some deeply uncool academic topic in the corner of the room at a close intimate gathering of friends. She’s having the time of her life. She’s wearing a shapeless beige knit jumper. Coronabeth is there in fashion nova

okay one trend I've seen a lot more is that like. people are becoming more open to veiling. I've seen a number of newly converted (though I believe the term is reverted?) Muslim girls happily showing off their new hijabs, and I've seen people move from hijabs to niqabs very happily too. And now I'm seeing Christian girls start to veil because "their Muslim sisters" taught them how. I've seen that thrice now, which. Okay. Three times isn't A LOT, but it's 3 times more than what I had seen all other years in my life! And I don't know if it's becoming more popular among Jews or not, but I personally am seeing more information about it! If it's not more popular, it's at least being shared more. And that's just Abrahamic religions. That's not even talking about regional cultures! Some have gone completely, like Saxons, but there's still people reenacting! Uhhh I haven't noticed an uptick in dupattas but I still want to mention them bc I think they're some of the prettiest things in the world for REAL.

this post goes nowhere and does nothing, really. i just... am glad to see veiling practices. so pretty <3

having the world's grandest and silliest time in skyrim via bringing 21 and soon to be 22 followers around with me at all times. narrow hallways are a nightmare. sometimes upon entering an area i spawn one to two floors above or below the group. everyone is always talking to each other and to me. i have music on in the background i don't know what anyone's saying to me ever. but they are my friends.

The thing a lot of feminists discuss a lot is what is actually empowerment. Because some will say it's makeup, high heels and generally conforming to the beauty standard, or maybe wearing a hijab or other religious head or body covering. And I just think the word they're looking for is just confidence. It's not empowering to shave your legs or cover up your entire body, but it does reduce shame. I'm also ashamed of walking out unshaved, with no concealer and with dirty hair, so when I do shaving or make up, the lack of shame creates a fleeting but pleasant feeling of confidence. Rejecting beauty norms entirely would be more of an actual empowerment, but I'd have to bear the shame first. And I don't know if I can do that.

Religious queer culture is veiling in highlighter colours

[pomegranatehymns]

I plan to start veiling for some of the goddesses I worship/ am (soon to be) devoted to, and I find it very amusing because it's Hera, Aphrodite, Persephone, and then her husband Haides.

So it's the ladies and the haides, lol.

Just sounds funny when I say it in my head.

I plan on getting a tattoo for Persephone and haides to show my devotion and a ritual before I consider myself an official devote. As like a grand show of devotion, but I feel like they already get special treatment lol.

They have the biggest area of my alter and are the first of the gods I started to worship, so they are very important to me. And dedicating veiling to them feels like a good first step in the devotion process.

Also I feel like ive had more of a connection with hera and aphrodite recently and want to work more with them and goddesses in general.

I've worked more with some of the gods and want to work with some ladies/goddesses right now. i I think veiling for Hera and Aphrodite feels like the right direction to go worship wise.

i remember someone asking you for the second years favorite out of itafushikugi but who do you think the trio’s favorite senpais are?

& who do you think the adults (nanami gojo shoko yaga) favorite students are?

I'm assuming we're talking about the sea glass gardens universe for this and not canon.

Megumi: Yuuta. No competition. I'm pretty sure this is straight up canon with his comment that Yuuta was the only one of his senpais that he actually respected. He and Yuuta have a special relationship, even if Megumi isn't aware of his Boyhood.

Barring Yuuta, Maki would be his favorite. They have identical bitch instincts and are always on the same wavelength. They wander the world as these beautiful judgmental assholes and it's their ideal existences. Soul siblings.

I see Maki as sort of slowly growing into her place as Megumi's family. At the start, neither of them were exactly looking to forge blood family ties, what with their history, but I think they both understand what it's like to have the Zenin lurking on your periphery in a way no one else does. They look out for each other.

Nobara: Maki. I also can't debate canon on this one. Nobara simply adores Maki. And has a crush on her the size of Jupiter. She doesn't know Yuuta and has sworn revenge on him for winning the last Goodwill event, so Yuuta's out of the running, and Panda and Inumaki are her constant torments.

Still, were it not for her appreciation for Maki as her senpai (re: rampant Homosexual Desire), I think Panda would be her favorite. They have identical asshole instincts, not that Nobara would ever admit it. Remember them teaming up during the Goodwill event? Nobara secretly has a soft spot for Panda, except for all the moments where she wants to beat him with a hammer.

Yuuji: I think it's actually Inumaki. Maki and him get on great because they both can compete athletically, but Maki's disposition is more suited to Megumi. She's harder for him to connect with for him on a personality level. Inumaki's also very athletically inclined, and I see them becoming jogging buddies now that Yuuta's in Africa.

I see Inumaki looking out for him a little when he first arrived, the way he did for Yuuta. Yuuji's not the sort to be phased by the difficulty communicating, and I think he respects the hell out of Inumaki as a jujutsu sorcerer.

If we count the Kyoto students in this, his favorite is Todo, but that may or may not be Stockholm Syndrome. He. He got swept up in it. It happened so fast. He doesn't know how this happened or if he's allowed to leave. It kind of scares him.

Yuuta is not even in the running for Yuuji's favorite. The thought of Yuuta torments him. He's just all sparkling and perfect in Africa, what with his curse-free existence and unstoppable power and having Megumi as his boy and what not. Just. Fuck off.

Adults

Nanami: He has no favorites. He cannot play favorites. He has raised one of these children, as adopted another, and has played a very large role in teaching a third. It would be wrong to select favorites out of them.

But also it's Yuuji.

It's not that he actually likes Yuuji better than Megumi or Yuuta or any of the others; it's more that Yuuji's his student. Megumi's practically a son to him, but Gojo was the one who took the lead on raising him and training him. And while he will always do his best to support Yuuta, by the time he met Yuuta, Gojo had already become the sort of adult pillar of support in his life.

Yuuji's the one he took the lead on training. He was there when Yuuji first had someone die, first had to kill. And Yuuji reminds him so much of Haibara that it hurts sometimes. He has a soft spot for him.

Gojo: Gojo will play favorites. It's Megumi.

Sue him. His kid is his favorite. That's his little boy. He watched him grow up from the angriest first grader he ever met to the angriest high schooler he ever met. He's always gonna have a bit of a soft spot for his Megs.

If he couldn't pick Megumi, it would be Yuuta.

Again, sue him for playing favorites, but Yuuta's someone he's just endlessly proud of. He watched Yuuta go from being curled up on the floor of an execution chamber to being the most promising sorcerer of the modern age. Yuuta really gives him hope for the future and the next generation. He just adores the kid.

Shoko: If we're talking sea glass gardens, I think Megumi would win by default just because she has less face time with the kids and Megumi is the one she helped raise. She's his wine aunt. She's always gonna wanna pinch his cheeks and harass him about his hair. But if he's out of the running, it's Nobara. She reminds her of her at that age. Mostly in the fact that she's endlessly suffering from her two idiot best friends's mutual homosexuality. Shoko relates to Nobara on a spiritual level.

Yaga: Panda. That's his little boy. I'm pretty sure this is canon too--Maki explicitly states that the principal plays favorites with Panda in JJK0. He raised Panda and thinks of him as his own son. He adores the kid.

If Panda's out of the running, it's Megumi.

This is also because he remembers when Megumi was a little kid. He didn't help raise Megumi the way the rest of them did--he got cut out after the Zenin incident--but he remembers before, when he was trusted with Megumi. A part of him is always going to remember Megumi as the quiet little boy who used to hide under his desk to read.

I also just see him as keeping more distance from the kids. he's not as actively involved in their teaching. it's partially an act of self protection to have distance--a lot of kids don't make it to graduation. So his favorites are going to be the one he spent the most time with--namely panda and Megumi, just by pure default.

I've asked about this before but I couldn't find it in the google drive and I think you mentioned something about running out of drive for requests around that time so I thought it would be okay to ask again. Would you do an emoji for catholic veils? i know it's not super common but it would be really great for my friend to have

IDs in alt

appreciate patience anon!!! and appreciate sending in ask reminding. goes for anyone, always welcome to send in ask reminding selfves, because helps with motivations and sometimes selfves forget

several variants of Catholic veil, did infinity scarf style since works better as emoji. ones on left are less transparent, ones on right are more transparent, for whatever works best on your device. some with flowers some without, some with white lineart and some with blue

let know if need edit or other emoji!!! thanks again for reminder
