White Fang, by Jack London, 1906
Bought from my local thrift store. This is one of my favorite stories, and one of very few that I remember very well and can even quote passages from. As such, I want to collect just about every copy possible lol, at the least for the varying cover art and any art within the book itself.

how and why is there discourse about whether or not certain queer identities exist/if people should be allowed(???) to use them. why is "people know their own identity better than you ever could, and they're the only one who get a say on what they are" such a tough concept to grasp
i think if you find yourself offended by the label someone uses (especially if they're a stranger) or think it invalidates your own, it's a good idea to look inside yourself and question why that may be. more often than not, it's a result of insecurity or uncertainty of your own identity (or many other things, but i won't make a whole list here). whatever reason it is, until you resolve it, you shouldn't take it out on people for having an identity you don't understand
many have said it before but it's worth saying over and over. infighting only helps our oppressors. conservatives don't care if you're a cis gay or a xenogender aegosexual aplatonic lesbian, they hate all of us either way. trying to fit in by going for people who are easier targets for them isn't gonna help you, it'll just alienate you from your own community, and you're never gonna please them. the momentary rush you get from hearing you're not like "one of /those/ gay people" is not worth it and is gonna do more harm in the long run, i assure you
also, it is important to me to say this, but having some less than nice kneejerk reaction caused by confusion about an identity you don't understand doesn't mean you're a bad person or anything. as long as you aren't mean to that person, and you take a second to think smth along the lines of "wait a minute, this isn't any of my business" after having said reaction, you're good 👍 a lot of reflexive reactions we have to things are ingrained into us simply by. well. living in a society 🤡 and you're not terrible for having those thoughts. it's your actions that matter, and your second thought (the "wait, why did i just think that?") is more defining of your actual character and morals than your reflex. i know that having thoughts like this, even tho they're unwanted, can very easily make one spiral, so it's important to me that whoever needs to hear this knows this doesn't make you a bad person 🙏 you're good, keep taking actions to be good, accept other people even if you don't understand them, and you're on the right track :)

Welcome to Starlight Farm!
Howdy folks and welcome to my humble lil' farm!

🔮 Submission & Request Guidelines ☀️
Feel free to ask me questions about any of these rules or just in general!
If I am uncomfortable or don't like your idea or submission for whatever reason, I'm allowed to decide not publish it & I do not have to disclose my reasons for deciding that or even blocking you.
Credit me "RoseMultiverse" (alternatively my main @r0semultiverse) or this blog if you repost to other sites.
Spicy submissions & requests are allowed of Rose Lalonde (post-scratch AKA Alpha Rose) & the Beyond Canon versions of Rose. Have an age/age range in your bio or pinned post to interact with those spicy posts specifically. Block the "homestuck nsft" tag if you aren't of adult age or just don't want to see it. I’ll censor submissions or requests as I see fit because I'm not trying to lose any of my blogs or their visibility.
Things like Rose being on Homestuck pages she isn't normally on are allowed along with adding clones of her onto pages she's already on. A clone of Rose or a different instance of her isn't suppose to be on that page with the other instance of Rose; so, it counts as her not being where she's supposed to be.
Cross fandom posting is also completely allowed, put any version of Rose wherever you want & send it in or make a request!
Please properly source or credit as necessary in your submissions using sprite rips, background images, etc. No uploading stolen SWs content & slapping her on there, that should be obvious, but I figure I should put that clearly in text.
Things like Rose wearing a hijab, being different skin tones, or even a different gender identity don’t count. Things like Rose wearing a hazmat suit or a fur suit do count! Also feel free to tag this blog in any posts you feel like would belong here! It’s anything not seen in source canon (within the rules of this post obviously).
Fanart & drawings are also allowed via submissions or maybe I'll even answer requests with doodles at times.
It's okay if the edits and/or art you send in aren't "perfect."
If you don't specify which version of Rose, I will choose to edit and/or draw whichever one I want at the time of seeing the request.
Sometimes I may make act or role-play like Rose in response to your submissions just for fun, but don't expect that as a default for every post.

My 67 year old mother watched RHRN for the first time last night. I thought I would share some gems that came outta that:
Her: "He doesn't actually... that's not how he actually talks is it?"
Me: "No no. Just imagine a Swedish dude, speaking English, pretending to be Italian."
Her: "Oh, so that's why he sounds annoying. Ok!"
Her: "....is he gay?"
Me: "No, he's married and has kids."
Her: "Do his kids know what he does for a living? Can you imagine at school: 'My dads a firefighter, my dad's a doctor, my dad's a paramedic.. my dad's a satanic cult leader!' "
More below the cut!
*After If You Have Ghosts*
Her: "Ok, that song was reaaaaalllyy pretty. I really liked that. He did a really good job."
Me: "You hated it when I played it before."
Her: "Yeah well... I don't actually like Ghost, so."
Her: "I know that one is Mountain, and there's a Swiss, and a Rain... cause every time I open the fridge to make a sandwich, or it's raining outside I'm reminded."
Me: "I'm so proud. You're only missing the two guitarists." (She only likes the ghouls... don't come for me)
Her: *Very confidently* "Alpha and Omega!"
Me: "Um..."
Her, laughing: "...no? Wrong era?"
Me: "Phan–"
Her: "PHANTOM! And the angry one I can never remember."
*Copia standing next to Dew*
Her: Wow, he's really small isn't he?
Me: Who? Dew or Copia cause either one would be an accurate observation.
Her: "Is he wearing contacts?"
Me: "Yeah just the one, the white one."
Her: "I just noticed."
Me: "........... you JUST noticed?!"
Her: "Only cause it's up close!"
Me: "I hate to blow your mind.... but ALL the Papa's have a white eye. Even Nihil (her fav)"
Her: "Really 👀 ?!"
Her: "Huh..."
Me: "What?"
Her: "I just noticed they have horns."
Her: "I think his pants are my favourite part about him."
Me: "You just like the crotch corset."
Her: "Nooo.... He has a nice ass too."
*moments later*
Her: "Why can't the ghouls have tight pants?!"
Her: "Don't their helmets ever fall off? Y'know when they start gettin into it, do they ever just 'whoops!' "
Her: *Sitting on the couch, humming, dancing and tapping her foot to Spillways*
Me: I thought you didn't like Ghost??
Her: *Immediately stops* Well... y'know
*starts dancing again and singing the correct lyrics*
Her: "Thats the end? They're not going to do right here, right now?"
Me: "You mean Square Hammer?"
Her: "Yeah the right here, right now song. Whatever it's actually called."
Me: "When have you ever heard of a band not doing an encore?"
Her: "Oh good. I was about to get upset. I love that song!"
*after the post credits scene*
Her: "Wait, so thats it? Do we know who the new Papa is?"
Me: "No! Thats the worst part about it!"
Her: "Maybe it'll be a Mama instead"
Me: *dies of laughter*
---
Anyways, Ghesties please protect my mum. She's trying lol
If I can think of more moments from last night, I will add them!

For context:
This is for my Villian Mikey AU! I know I never post about it lol.
After opening the portal to save Leo, Mikey's powers start freaking out whenever he gets really emotional. He tries to deal with it on his own for a while, but eventually, he caves and asks Draxum for help.
I tried to explain a little bit about how mystic powers work for this au in the comic cuz it'll be important later. (if I ever get to "later" lol)
Also, in the au, Splinter died during the invasion, so Draxum kind of has to step up a bit more as a father figure here. Mikey and Draxum got closer between the end of s2 and the movie but Draxum is still not that great at being affectionate.
Lmk what y'all think I'm trying my best with this. 😅
