#the heartbreaker's handbook

[storytellersumayyah]

usual pinned post!

it's been one year since the heartbreaker's handbook went live. and a year ago, i was still deciding whether or not i wanted to share it with the world. because sharing it meant it was real. it wasn't just mine. it was something that existed outside of a bubble.

but it was the best decision i ever made. it became a fun fact about me. it inspired further pieces of writing- side stories and companion pieces, that i never really hesitated to publish. it allowed me to talk about it as much as i wanted without feeling bad, and most of all, it made me proud. it made me happy. i wouldn't have published it had it not been for all the encouragement i received.

but now it is stocked in homes and two libraries, and it's something to celebrate.

so that's why we're here. this celebration is to make me happy. because that is what art is about. making ourselves happy, and having a release.

it'll run between july 10th and july 24th, and is also open on my instagram (also storytellersumayyah) but all the requests will still be answered here. feel free to send multiple! everything will be tagged as #thhfbp, so without further ado:

everyone:

🥀 the characters as...

🌻 a little doodle of something i associate with a character or relationship

🌼 a song i associate with a character or relationship

🌸 a random piece of information about the characters or relationship

🌺 directors cut of a scene

🍄 a song that reminds me of a character or relationship

🌹 something i want in the hypothetical television adaptation

🌷 give me a scene and i’ll tell you what could have been

💐 ask me anything about the book

mutuals (including if I know you in real life):

🌙 something that happened that i associate you with

🪐 the character you would be if i wrote someone inspired by you

☄️ a random deleted scene/something that i want to write that won’t fit in anywhere else

and if you want to participate, but don't know what to send, here's a character guide! (there are more characters, but these are the ones where's the enough to actually send things about):

tristan: the heir to the nightingale name, the most powerful of all the noble families. constantly described as a natural heartbreaker, everyone seems to forget how he was groomed to become one. but children are not robots, and the pressure of everything he wants and must sacrifice in order to do what is expected is causing him to drown.

camilla: knows why her name does not match her face. she found out she was noble too late for the school to properly did their claws in, and she did not want to be a heartbreaker. but her attempts to prove the system she so badly wants to destroy wrong only seem to reinforce that they were right.

jonathan: is also the heir to his name, and the power that it carries is the only reason he was not labelled heartbroken. his heartbreaks are a performance, and not in the good way. and there is only so much a child can play at being an adult before it all becomes too much for them.

adelaide: has always enjoyed pushing the boundaries and the system as far as she could. but it was always a joke. it was never something she really wanted to change. until it was. but she's spent her life being a heartbreaker and an heir. it's not something she's allowed to actually do.

viola: is a heartbroken who could not care less about relationships. she is determined to change the system, and she doesn't care about who gets hurt to do this. in fact, the more people who get hurt, the better. but in addition to wanting everything to change, she is sad for the people who will never get to know something different.

ellias: is a first-year student, who is already stuck in tristan's web. he always knew he would be a heartbroken, but the evidence is still upsetting. his art is the only thing holding him together, and it reveals more than it hides.

victoria: is tristan's mother, in name and nothing else. she carries the name and power of the nightingale family. that reputation comes before all else. including loving her husband and parenting her son. and she will always teach him lessons in the harshest way possible, no matter what the outcome becomes.

james: is tristan's father in all the ways he is allowed to be, which isn't many. he always knows what's really going. he never helps. he's too scared that if he intervenes, if he chooses his son, his wife will leave. that has always been his flaw. he loves his wife at the expense of his son.

mr carter: grew up in eros academy and returned as a teacher for reasons that he will never disclose. it was the place that made and broke him, in more ways than one. he knows who he is to the students. he knows that they want his validation. he will do his best to save them, but he will be awful if he thinks it's necessary. his thoughts are not always trustworthy.

stefan: is the ghost of tristan's past that haunts his every waking moment. their actions still influence him, no matter how much he tries to redefine them. with soft smiles and gentle words and loving eyes, it should have been simple. only it was life, and the entire thing went in ways the nightingales had not thought to consider.

ari: was camilla's until she told him she was leaving. and then she broke his heart (and hers with it), leaving him to pick up the pieces and do what he could. there was no anger. only a soft sort of grief. and then they found their way back to each other.

rafael: is all tristan wanted as a teenager. they meet as adults, and for that they're both grateful. it gave them time to become the right people. he is stable and gentle and romantic. they know what to say and when to be silent. and despite everything, they never stop looking at the world with love and hope.

Cartomancy After 101: Developing your own sets of card meanings that you swap out depending on your needs [concepts & tips]

My hypothesis for this post is that most forms of cartomancy heavily rely on the context of the question or situation being read on.

As context shifts, so do the specific interpretations that readers pluck out of a pool of general meaning.

By leaning into the idea of context and building extremely contextual meaning sets, readers can elevate their skills and more reliably produce very specific readings within contexts they have studied and prepared for.

This is going to be a long one, so I'm making sections for readability.

1. Cartomancy Relies On Context

Most "little white books" that come with tarot and oracle decks, and cartomancy websites and published resources, divide card meanings into the general and contextual.

E.g., a tarot card's general meaning usually includes key words such as heartbreak, betrayal, and backstabbing. Then, contextual meanings might be provided:

Interpersonal relationships: Is a relationship about to end?

Business: Make sure any new business deals won't screw you over.

Spiritual: How can you use your spirituality to help with heartbreak?

While these contextual meanings stem from the base source of the card, they aren't interchangeable. Imagine if a querent asks you about their small business, and you reply, "well, have you tried using your spirituality to deal with interpersonal heartbreak?"

Therefore, a major role of the reader is defining the appropriate context of a question.

In order to practice their skills, many diviners offer to do "blind" readings for others. This means that the reader doesn't want any background information about the question at all - but even so, a reader may still ask for the context of a question.

E.g., a reader may say, "don't even tell me your actual question, but just tell me what kind of question it is - if it's about employment, a relationship, etc. Otherwise I won't know how to frame the answer."

[I don't mean to say that all readers always require context in this manner. Many readers do not, especially very practiced ones. But I don't think that means that context is irrelevant, even to very experienced readers who can obtain context on their own.]

2. Developing Meanings for a Specific Context Results in More Specific Readings

The Complete Lenormand Oracle Handbook by Caitlín Matthews begins by introducing the typical meanings of Lenormand cards. Later, she provides a custom set of meanings she personally developed related to her years spent in live theater.

Because of her time spent performing readings for theater workers, and about theater, she had developed a complex and unique system of meaning for Lenormand which, for the purposes of reading about live theater, was immensely more accurate and specific than the general Lenormand system.

While the general meanings of Lenormand informed her custom system, the custom system was not interchangeable with general meanings and was only applicable to a specific context and its related themes.

I discovered the same phenomenon by accident years ago, when I was frustrated with how general and nonspecific my readings had become.

I wanted to be able to use tarot to read accurately for everyday situations. So, over the course of several months, I worked with my primary divinatory ally to develop my own set of notes for the tarot, specifically for reading everyday, mundane situations.

The meanings given for the cards don't work very well at all for mystical, spiritual, or meditative self-exploratory readings. The meanings are things like, "you're the only one putting energy into this relationship," or, "don't go to the party if you didn't receive an invitation."

I use this set of meanings when I want very plain and straightforward readings on everyday situations, which it's very good at. I got what I wanted: accurate and specific readings on day-to-day questions with the tarot.

The meaning set fails at every other kind of question.

Recently, in my ongoing experiments with a custom oracle mashup of playing cards and tarot, I decided I wanted a meaning set that was useful for troubleshooting creative writing projects.

This deck has general meanings like, air/movement/exchange, water/observation/stagnant, and earth/categories/planning.

I developed contextual meanings like, "the dialogue in this scene is doing what it needs to do," "the character's motivations aren't clearly explained," and "the external goals of the character don't match what's already been explained about them."

By focusing on a specific context, readers can get very good at reading certain types of questions.

3. Exploring Specific Contexts Improves Overall Reading Ability in Any Context

By taking the general meanings of a card and developing them in new, unique ways that are still true to that card's roots, you create a huge learning opportunity to connect more deeply with that card.

Not only can you explore the unique evolutions of each card as it intersects with your interests and life, but your understanding of the deck as a whole can evolve.

When I was working with my original set of "everyday" meanings for the tarot, I discovered that many times I developed card meanings that really overlapped each other, making some cards redundant. When I decided to sort this out, my understanding of - and relationship to - tarot rapidly changed. I'm at a new level of understanding that I hadn't been able to achieve just by using general meanings for the 15 or so years of reading I had been doing before that.

The elements are currently a major part in my practice of witchcraft. As silly or abstract as it may seem, exploring how an oracle card that generally means water/observation/stagnant could apply to a specific type of fiction writing deepened my relationship not only with that experimental deck, but also to my craft as a whole.

As I've explored custom meaning sets in general, my ability to rapidly link abstract symbols has improved. Even if a specific meaning set doesn't apply, just having explored that makes my readings stronger.

For example, if I draw a card and I don't know how to apply it to a certain situation, having different sets of meaning floating around in my head is a little like having three or four helpful aunties shouting suggestions. None of them may be completely accurate, but it's a far better starting place than having no aunties at all.

By investing in very specific sets of meaning that only apply to certain contexts, readers can gain insight and skills that assist them in all types of readings throughout all contexts.

4. Sundry Suggestions for Those Convinced

Here are a handful of tips and tricks I've collected throughout the years. Take or leave them as you desire.

Choose very specific contexts. The more specific, the better!

Well, I'm sure this one is more down to personal preference, but don't be afraid to choose extremely specific contexts.

In my examples above about the creative fiction meaning set, the context wasn't "literary analysis" or "creative writing." The context was, "troubleshooting commercial fiction manuscripts and outlines to be more in line with modern commercial standards."

That isn't great at brainstorming, coming up with story ideas, dealing with literary fiction, grappling with major artistic themes, etc. It does one thing great: helping you workshop a commercial manuscript that you'd like to send to a publisher.

Put thought into what deck(s) you're using.

Even when using general meanings, many readers identify that certain decks are just better at certain kinds of readings. If you have multiple decks, try swapping them out as you experiment and see which ones work best.

Develop not only individual cards, but the deck as a whole.

Depending on your preferences, you may find value in not only developing individual cards, but also groupings of cards.

By taking entire sections of cards (say, all of the wands cards) and linking them to an important concept within your context (say, the behaviors of all the dogs you train), you can make large leaps of progress.

The same could be done for all the kings cards (your mentors in the dog training world), all the #3 cards (they're all going to relate to, say, small change or progress), and you can end up quickly mashing up new meaning sets:

Today's dog training business reading suggests that a Youtuber who's information you rely on is going to release a video about the importance of small behavioral changes.

Assigning broad meanings to different sections of cards is a good way to start exploring specific contexts.

Let card meanings evolve as you explore.

As you take notes, there's no need to settle one one meaning for the card as it is and then avoid changing it.

If your original idea for a card is "stubborn dogs who are not motivated by treats," and you perform multiple readings on it where the card only really makes sense if it means, "this dog will show up super tired and just want to nap," then it's fine to modify notes as you go.

I find that over time, modifications actually end up being multiple possible interpretations, once again deepening my understanding of the card as a whole (this card refers to difficulty inspiring action and engagement).

Often, card meanings come to me very vaguely and are practically stand-ins until I can figure something out for them.

Be mindful of spreads.

I can apply some meaning sets to literally any spread and it'll come out just fine.

Other meaning sets I have don't play great with tons of spreads, and may only work well with small spreads, using signifiers, and so forth.

There's no need to avoid highly contradictory meanings.

If you've got two ideas for a card (the dog is well-adjusted and friendly, or, he's very reactive and dangerous) and you aren't sure which fits, keep both meanings and use a combination of readings and real-world verification to experiment.

Your unique context sets don't need to be congruent with each other.

While I believe it's a good idea to seek fidelity to the original/general meanings of a card, this doesn't imply that the unique contexts you develop have to coincide with each other.

Maybe you have a meaning set specifically for energy work, and a separate one for religious spirit work.

In your energy working set, the wands cards could always relate to fire energy and only ever refer to a spirit if drawn in conjunction with a court card.

But, in your religious spirit work set, the 4/wands might always refer to the spirit of a home, regardless of elemental alignment.

The meanings you develop for one context don't need to adhere to the rules you create for other contexts.

Playing card decks can really simplify the process.

Tarot cards, with their intrusive little pictures, can often impose their own meanings on a context whether you like it or not. Even if horrendous betrayal makes zero sense for your context, sometimes it's impossible to get those ideas of the 3/Swords out of our heads.

If you're finding tarot to be too confining, try experimenting with playing card decks. They're smaller, draw less attention, and most importantly, do away with the art that can anchor our minds to the wrong concepts.

(Split the difference by working with a tarot deck that just uses suit symbols for the pips, but has full art for the major arcana.)

5. Hey! Thanks for reading.

I hope you're having a good day ^-^

I want tender fluffy Georgie + Reader but I’m aromantic is it okay if I’m able to ask for Georgie and a fem Reader of color taking care of baby CeeCee Cooper at the Laundromat while Mandy is working? Where they meet and she is able to help him when he is still adjusting to the new routine and they bond?

𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩?

𝙏𝙮𝙥𝙚: 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘴𝘵, 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘍𝘭𝘶𝘧𝘧

𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩: 656

𝙈𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩

“Baby girl, can you please stop crying for Daddy?” Georgie looked at his daughter, begging for the crying and whining to stop. His long sighs and messy hair show how terrible everything is going. He tried to feed her, change her diaper, and sing her to sleep, but she still wouldn’t stop crying.

And it’s taking a toll on Georgie.

The sound of the door opening took his attention away from the child, finally noticing his guardian angel sent to him by God. Or that’s what he thinks after seeing Y/N’s figure and noticing her newly braided hair and golden brown skin that glowed under the sun. Georgie could swear that he could see a halo around her head.

“What in the world is going on here, Georgie?” Y/N took a few steps closer to the situation at hand. The girl looked at the boy and the child back and forth, trying to assess what to do but mainly judging the exhausted look on Georgie's face.

“I don’t know what to do; she’s been like this for like 20 minutes, and I don’t know what she wants. Mary has her work, and she trusted me to handle things responsibly, and now I’m failing everything all at once.” Georgie picked up CeeCee and tried to sway around while shushing her, but she still wouldn’t stop crying, “I’m a bad father.” He set down the baby before sitting down on a nearby chair, rubbing his face together, keeping his head down as he listened to the cries of his daughter.

Y/N slowly picked up CeeCee and gently swayed her while patting her back, humming softly. Georgie looked up when he heard the cries starting to soften into sniffles and hiccups.

“See? I can’t even make my own daughter stop crying.”

“That does not make you a failure of a dad, Georgie.” Y/N smiled at her friend. She knows that Georgie needs some reassurance at times when he finds himself trying to please those around him with his charms and his love for business. The girl gave CeeCee back to Georgie’s arms, who, although a bit reluctant, took his daughter back. He was afraid that she might start crying again.

“All of this is new to you and Mary. There’s no handbook on how to be the perfect parent for CeeCee. Just be as present as you can be in her life.” Y/N put her hand gently on Georgie’s cheek. “You’re a good person and a great father. No one said that this was going to be easy. Know that I will always be here to help you guys out.”

Georgie smiled for the first time that day. Y/N has always been the one to comfort him in his darkest days or when he needs a helping hand to climb up. “Thank you… so much for being here with me.” He then started to joke, “Y’know, you’d be a great mother one day.” It’s not really a joke; he knows that if the girl decides to have a child in the near future, she would be the best parent.

"Oh, please, I’d be an awesome parent.” Y/N then dramatically sighs, “Alas, I still don’t know if I want children for myself, though; I always knew that I’d be this rich, cool aunt who everyone loves and adores.”

“You are cool, and you are CeeCee’s aunt, so two steps closer to your dream. And people do love you, of course, including me.”

Y/N laughs wholeheartedly. Georgie knows that Y/N has experienced more than one heartbreak in her life. Mostly from those people that she meets who claim to “love” her, but once hearing her side, immediately turn against her. It was hard watching his best friend be hurt by those who did not understand her. So it was a good sight to see her so happy.

“I love you too, Georgie.”

i hope this is good, not entirely happy with this one tbh.

i tried to make the reader hint out about her being an aromantic and a person with color. please let me know if it needs some changes to improve the writing. i genuinely do not want to offend anyone with what i write so i make changes as soon as possible if ever it needs to be changed. (and please do so in a respectful way)

thank you.

i try not to be a dick and i understand this article writer probably got paid peanuts to churn out an article for the content mill so i'm not going after them in particular. this is just me venting about meaningless shit

the idea that btvs characters need to be made more "relatable" by turning them into unfortunate victims rather than people culpable for their own misery feels so antithetical to everything about the show. what's "relatable" and interesting about original xander is not his 90s Nice Guy Syndrome it's the conflict between wanting to be liked and being really fucking annoying. it's that he wants nothing more than a handbook on how to be "cool," but if you gave him one, he'd throw it out the window and continue to be judgmental because he can't shut the fuck up. he can be manipulative and cowardly but he can also be brave and loyal. his mouth gets him into a boatload of trouble and causes pain and heartbreak and also it saves the world and his best friend. like i get that the nice guy entitlement is annoying, but turning him into a passive doormat is just. not the same character.

Loki Season 2 – Episode 1 RECAP

HERE WE GO AGAIN! FINALLY! LET’S DO THIS, SHALL WE?

As always, HEAVY SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 1 BELOW THE CUT!

Also from now on, as usual, in addition to the keep reading tags, I will tag posts that contain spoilers with the hashtag "#loki season 2 spoilers" and "#loki spoilers" so you can filter them from your dashboard until you're ready!

Did I stay up until 3 a.m. to watch the first episode again? Yes. Yes, I did.

We are starting off so damn STRONG. Damn it, I just wanted to hug Loki so bad. He’s been through so much shit and he was so heartbroken and desperate! Imagine you get to cup his face and just tell him to take a deep breath with you! What made it even more painful was the moment he fully realised that Mobius didn’t recognise him—his one friend, the one person who likes him for who he is… and he doesn’t remember him… and then the relief on his face when was in the right place again!

Loki was so panicked about the impending war. For good reason, obviously but it truly shows that Thor: Ragnarok lied. Loki wouldn’t be a bad king, now hear me out—in The Avengers, Thanos had the upper hand. You all remember that one scene where he sort of backtracks and says “It’s too late… it’s too late to stop it…” but can’t join forces with Thor because The Other was watching him? Loki understands the sacrifice for sure and in the first Thor film, when he tried to wipe out Jötunheim, what I believe is that he wanted to prevent the war that Thor himself had started by attacking those Jötuns. Loki’s not about violence and causing pain and destruction, he just got caught in the middle of it several times, and circumstances forced him into choices that were not heroic. We knew that already, of course… but it’s nice to see that reflected in the series. Besides, we don’t need him to be a hero. We just need him to be Loki. 🥰

The jokes were spot-on, not too silly, not out of place, in my opinion, but sprinkled in just right so far. Skin? Also, can we please talk about the warning on the floor that said Spaghettification? Come on! 😂😂😂

Now in that sense, O.B. is indeed brilliant. A lovely and light addition to the serious bureaucracy of the TVA for sure!

I really wasn’t worried about Loki making it back safely, somehow. Let’s face it, they wouldn’t have killed him in the first episode of Season 2. With that being said… I hope for their sake he stays safe at the end too, otherwise, I will hurt a lot of people! 🙂

X5… X5, what are we gonna do with him? I hate him. Of course, I do. He’s got something about him that just makes you want to slap him in the face. 😒

Now there are two questions we immediately ask ourselves, right? Where, or rather, when did Sylvie come from? And who pruned Loki? Was it another Sylvie, or another Loki? Another Mobius? B15? An antagonistic character who realised their wrongs? A new character? A Kang Variant? They’ve definitely left us some loose ends! 🤔

And lastly… it’s absolutely heartbreaking to see how much Loki cares for Sylvie despite what happened at the end of Season 1. She basically betrayed him! For reasons Loki understands, of course, but still… it broke his heart… and hence it broke mine. He was so ready to stop the others from going after her even though he was facing the very gruesome time slipping problem. 😭

If you’ve seen the video I posted earlier, you’ll know that I have already seen Episode 2 as well today. I won’t lose a word about that one until next week though! 😉 All I’m gonna say is that we’re in for a treat. 😏

PS: I want that TVA handbook as a notebook for my writing.

[ariesbilly]

Its even worse if Billy knows that Steve is a cop. Can smell that polished, preppy, try-hard just blend in from a fucking mile off. He's a goddamn bloodhound for it. Its part of why his boss likes him so. Points him at anyone who wants to get close and says sniff, boy. Find the rat.

And Steve. Steve's so goddamn obvious its a wonder he wasn't shot on sight. Even the generic twerps who man the doors could've seen his too-styled hair and his poorly concealed handpiece. Could've. Should've.

Didn't.

And, what the hell. This one's pretty. Snarky. Kinda the most fun Billy's had in months and he's caught between gagging for Steve to slip up and hoping he doesn't. Wanting to see where it goes. How long Steve will carry it until Billy has to put it down.

He knows the moment Steve's given the order to try and use Billy as a step-ladder. The moment Steve's told to take Billy's sordid flirting and run hell to leather with it. The awkward dismissals of his advances become slightly less awkward reciprocations, cheesy one-liners spat right out of a how to make him like you gossip rag article. Lingering hands that dip an inch too low to be respectful. Its almost as funny as his piss-poor I belong here act.

Almost.

If it wasn't for the fact that Billy's all but fucking drooling for it. Toted along by an invisible leash. No longer sniffing for a rat but for that musky, earthy, rich scent in the crease of Harrington's thigh. The slope of his neck. The dip of his sternum. If he wasn't so ready to sit, stay, speak for reward of Harrington's tongue up his ass in a way that makes Billy think that, actually, there might damn well be a God.

They're on a timer that looms over both of them, an eclipse blocking out any light for a future where one of them won't be staring down the open end of the other's gun, bleeding out and done for. Because Billy won't go down easy and Steve's probably got the damn copper handbook tattooed on his ass, and walking away isn't an option for either of them. Its a one or none kinda deal.

But shit. The way Steve looks at him? The open-mouthed divine reckoning of his adoration when Billy's sheathed on him and bouncing like he's paid by the lift-sink of it? Its worth it. Worth any and every possible bloody, raw, heartbreaking outcome. Every brutal way this can end.

Because fuck. Steve kinda looks at him like its real, sometimes. Like if Billy asked him to stay he'd take off the badge, bury it in the dirt with the other bodies, the other past lifetimes. Looks at him like Billy would be worth it. And that? That's nothing Billy's ever had before.

six words

tw: toxic familial relationships

"I think I'm a bad son," Tristan whispers, not looking at his face, even if he knows he can hide.

"There is no wrong way to be a son," Jonathan tells him, eyes full of sincerity.

"But-"

"There isn't." His friend is soft, so he believes this wholeheartedly and all Tristan can do is nod and turn away again.

-

"I think I'm a bad son," Tristan tells him because he's asking what's bothering him.

"I think every heir has felt like that at some point," Mr Carter responds, aiming for neutrality and failing so badly that Tristan feels bad for him.

"Then how do I stop?"

"You prove you aren't to the only people that can confirm you're not." It's not quite an insult, but it's very close.

-

"I think I'm a bad son," Tristan says, staring past her.

"You are a Heartbreaker. That's all that matters," Adelaide tells him, face hardened because she knows what he really means.

"Is it?"

"You know it is." She is the only heir, so she knows this with everything she is and all Tristan can do is try and seek comfort in this truth.

-

"I think I'm a bad son," Tristan states, trying to keep his voice completely even.

"Why?" James asks, but the fear is obvious.

"Because I love you more than her."

"I know. But one day you won't. She will make sure of that." His faith in this fact is so strong and matter-of-fact that Tristan feels that age-old sympathy for his father who is met with mediocrity for a woman he loves more than his son.

-

"I think I'm a bad son," Tristan murmurs, too warm because of the duvet covering his torso but he doesn't want to get dressed just yet.

"You're a good person," Stefan says, as though it's the simplest and most obvious thing in the world, even though his goodness is buried under everything else.

"They aren't the same."

"Aren't they?" He wonders if Stefan is saying this because he sees himself as a son and a person simultaneously, whilst Tristan thinks he can only be one or the other at any given time.

-

"I think I'm a bad son," Tristan confesses, looking at her hands and how they compare to his.

"I think they're bad parents," Camilla tells him, eyes burning with a rage she will only tame because she doesn't want him to flee.

"No, they aren't."

"They were bad parents who did good things." She comes from a family of good people who did bad things and she is so capable of love that he tightens his grip, as though that will stop her walking away.

-

"I think I'm a bad son," Tristan sobs, on his knees because maybe this will earn him some kind of forgiveness.

"I know you are," Victoria tells him, not even trying to hide her disgust.

"I think you were a worse mother."

She doesn't say anything.

Which apostle do you believe cares most for LGBTQ rights?

That's a difficult question to answer because I don't really know.

I've heard a few rumors and a few things shared by people who've interacted with various apostles. I'll share the little bit that I've heard, but keep in mind most of this is 2nd or 3rd hand stuff and therefore maybe isn't reliable

President Nelson is noted for being the first president of the church to use the acronym LGBTQ, but unfortunately did so in an address at BYU to say that the 2015 policy of exclusion was done out of love, and that God established marriage between a man & a woman in the Garden of Eden and we should respect that.

Elder Oaks is infamous for his anti-LGBTQ bigotry. As president of BYU in the 1970's, he defended efforts to entrap gay students. In 1984 he wrote a memo that laid out the plan for the church on LGBTQ topics. As an apostle he seems to be obsessed with speaking on queer topics. He worries that queer rights limit the rights of religious people and institutions. I know how he makes me feel, so it was heartbreaking to learn he has at least one gay grandchild who heard his grandfather saying such things.

It's hard to know where Elder Ballard stands. He seems to support the idea we have more to learn, that we need to listen to queer people share about their feelings & experiences rather than listen to non-queer people tell us about queer people. He's also expressed the idea the church hasn't done well in the past and needs to do better to make itself a spiritual home for queer people. However, there's no explanation of what changes he suggest the church make.

I know a gay man who was invited to meet Elder Holland a few times, and was treated very well by him. I've also heard that the November 2015 Policy of Exclusion was voted on and inserted into the Handbook while Elder Holland was on assignment overseas, and that was done purposely because they thought he'd oppose it. The story I've heard is upon returning, he was so upset that Elder Holland threw books off the shelf and declared if he becomes president of the church that his first action would be to reverse that policy. He's also said nice things about gay people in General Conference. But I also understand he's willing to go only so far, he wants queer people to be treated nicely, but doctrinally doesn't see a way for the church to be accepting. Of course, his reputation was tarnished after he gave that musket talk at BYU. I've heard that he wishes he phrased that differently, that he's sickened at how that was interpreted. However, if that's truly how he feels, he could've clarified but has chosen not to.

It seems everyone assumes Elder Uchtdorf is probably the most queer-friendly apostle, but I've heard while he is gregarious and the most liberal of the bunch, queer topics is one area where he doesn't have much of an opinion, that it's an area where he doesn't have a lot of interest.

If I had to guess, it would be that Elder Cook cares the most for LGBTQ rights. He was a bishop and stake president in San Francisco in the 1980's & 1990's, and met with many families of queer people. I've heard he often met queer people who grew up LDS, many of whom had AIDS and were declining, and that he was empathetic in his interactions. Here's a quote from him:

“As a church nobody should be more loving and compassionate. No family who has anybody who has same-gender [attraction] should exclude them from the family circle. They need to be part of the family circle…. [L]et us be at the forefront in terms of expressing love, compassion, and outreach to those and let’s not have families exclude or be disrespectful of those who choose a different lifestyle as a result of their feelings about their own gender…. I feel very strongly about this…. [I]t’s a very important principle.”

I've been told that Elder Christofferson gives the BEST responses to letters he receives from LGBTQ Latter-day Saints. He's done more to move the Church forward than the others as he shared that his family always included his gay brother & his partner, that no one was outside the circle of the family's love (which is in direct contradiction to remarks that Elder Oaks has made). He also says that when someone comes out that in that moment it's critical to express love for them. Elder Christofferson is also the apostle who said that a member of the church can support gay marriage and still qualify for a temple recommend. But I'm also told he doesn't believe LDS Church doctrine can include gay marriage or sealings.

Elder Gong has a gay son, and while many hoped this meant he'd be more sympathetic to wanting queer members to be welcomed & embraced by church, that doesn't seem to be the case. His son has said that if he & his boyfriend meet up with his parents, that Elder Gong asks for no pictures to be taken and worries such photos would be used to indicate he supports queer people

I've actually met Elder Renlund twice and had conversations with him. He doesn't contradict what the church teaches, but he said it's wrong to bully queer people, and people should attend the wedding of their gay family & friends, and celebrate with them the milestones of their life.

I haven't heard anything that might indicate how Elder Eyring, Elder Bednar, Elder Anderson, Elder Rasband, Elder Stevenson or Elder Soares feel about LGBTQ people and our place in church or society or about our rights.

I wrote this a month ago, on a day when I needed to express some of my feelings about my gender. At the time I was certain that I would never show it to anyone. But all day I've had this nagging feeling that there is someone out there who needs to see it. If that person is you, I hope there is something in this that helps. Know that you aren't alone.

In terms of poetry, I don't know if this really qualifies. But hopefully it makes some kind of sense.

CW for mentions of periods, heavily implied gender dysphoria, strong gender stereotypes

How To Be Me

When I was born, they told me I was a girl.

When I asked how, they said I would know.

It’s easy, when you’re little

They dress you up in frills and bows

They’d coo over me as I cradled my dolls

What a perfect little mother she’ll be.

Tiny girls get to play in mud, put stains on their shorts

Tiny girls get to play all the games, before “games” becomes “sports”

When I went to school they told me I was a girl

When I asked how, they said I would know

You don’t get a choice when they give you the uniform

Tiny skirts that don’t touch your knee

Because why would a girl want to be free

All my peers seemed to be following guides on how to be

“How to be a boy” “how to be a girl”

But whoever handed them out had missed me

They put me in ballet, in ribbons and tights

And I loved it, the spinning and twirling

I wasn’t good at it, but I was me, and there, that was enough

Enough for the little girls in their pink skirts and shoes

Enough for the little boys, bucking social norms

Enough for my teacher, who saw past the stumbles

Saw past the wrong steps and wobbly legs

Enough to give me stickers for knowing big words

They put me in ballet, then they put me in tap

Where I didn’t have to be soft, graceful, pink

Where I could be loud, sharp, wear t-shirts and leggings

They put me in song and dance, and I got even louder

Because when you’re a clown or a Who

You’re not really anything but you

I’ve put it all away now, the tutus and shoes

But I won’t forget that feeling, the freedom to choose

I kept getting older and the gap got wider

Between who I was and who I was supposed to be

All the little girls who once were my friend

Turned their backs when I couldn’t keep up

I was the girl who followed all the boys

Who dug in the clay, filled her pocket with rocks

I shook off the rumours, the giggles and laughs

Why couldn’t I hold the hand of a boy who was my friend?

I remember being excited when they sent the boys away

They told us about periods, about pads, about tampons

I was eleven, and I thought that I had been given the book

With my little pouch of supplies I thought “not one of the guys”

So I waited and waited, breath in my throat

Through bras, pads, love and heartbreak

The book was there, just out of reach,

A roiling mess of hieroglyphs

I remember thinking “I’ll know when”

When my curves grow in, I’ll feel feminine.

When my period comes, if I learn to do makeup

The milestones passed, one by one by one

I watched, as my sisters grew, secure in knowledge I wasn’t given

It wasn’t their fault, that the pages they showed me were blank

That the book they held out slipped through my grasp

I watched as they followed a path I just didn’t have

They told me I was a girl, there was no other choice

They told me I should know, that was my job

They watched me struggle, told me I’d find it in time

They added more labels – woman, Mrs, wife

Buried me under a pile of norms and expectations

That no one taught me how to meet

Just a late bloomer, a tom boy, unique

They told me there was only one way to live my life

But I know who I am now, out here on my own

Not a boy, not a girl, not even in between

I’m a them, a they, an “I love their style”

For the first time in my life, I almost feel seen

But how do I tell them – all the “binary” thems

That “she” never existed, that I finally feel free

That I did get a handbook, that day I was born

They gave me a handbook called “how to be me”

Silvery barbs baby!

(I love silvery barbs I used it a few sessions ago to stop someone ripping off our barbarian’s arm and I hadn’t told the dm that I took it in our last level up so the look on his face was delightful)

“This ancient mall” as if this is not an incredibly new development

Emily what are you about to do

Clap if you believe in fairies

Yeah the statistics on that weren’t great.

Brennan said skanking in the most pensive voice

“I’m done talking to you” gorgug is excellent

Oof. That right there is what we call an oof.

(Listen the drawback to dating people with good music taste is sometimes you want to still listen to their playlists after you break up. It’s fine.)

I love it when gorgug tries to reason with unreasonable people

How many different Cassandra minis??

Anger is so powerful and it can be so destructive or helpful depending on so many awful factors aaaaaa

The thousand yard stare

GSA STRONG

Through fucking gritted teeth ‘I love my friends. I love my friends.’

What the fuck is going on

‘Religious awe’ wild way to put that Brennan

What the FUCK man

He’s too buttery!

Sooooo much property damage

Kristen is so goddamn traumatized and everyone is having a weird time.

So next week looks fun. I have no idea what thoughts are in my head right now. Gonna need to rewatch that tomorrow and see if I can pull some coherence from it. Most of it seemed to make some kind of sense at the time.
