guys ao3 is down- how am I supposed to vicariously indulge in escapism now??

THEY SAID HOURS OH MY GOD I’M HAVING GAY PANIC BUT INSTEAD I’M JUST GAY AND PANICKED

what do you expect me to do, live in the real world?? I haven’t touched grass in 4 years!!

#ao3 #ao3 down #god please save me #I stopped reading on a cliffhanger and I want to microwave myself #how can I live laugh love in these conditions #I am losing my mind and it's extremely apparent #what are the queers supposed to do now?

Bro why you gotta be so anxious?? Yeah, i might not be able to fully understand what you're going through, but the least i can do as a decent person is empathize.

And maybe hold you, if you'll let me. i'll run my hands through your hair and run them down your back n let you rest against my chest so you fall asleep to the sound of my heart.

Maybe my hands will travel further on their own accord, run them along those strong-ass thighs of yours, give em a gentle squeeze, kiss them better, mark up your legs, if that's what my baby wants. I might fiddle with the drawstring on your sweatpants too, and flip us around so you're splayed out against the pillows. Might even pull them off you if you say I can. I could part your knees with a hand while the other is laced with yours, and I'd smile to reassure you that you're gonna be okay. All you gotta do is gimme the word and I'll do it. You're in control, love, remember that.

Remember to relax, baby, that's why we're here. Drop your shoulders, feel all that tension in your back go away as you lean into the pillows. Let all of that go, sweetheart. I'm right here, and I'm not leaving you anytime soon.

Maybe I'll eat you out if that's okay, if it's what will make you feel a little better about all the stuff that's been making your head spin. But don't worry, Angel, I got you :) I'll make you feel good, I promise. Just want you to spread you legs a little further apart and get comfortable, okay? Lemme help out in any way I can, even if it means sucking on your adorable clit until you arch into my mouth and your mind short-circuits for a brief moment.

I just want you to feel good, that's all. And I need you to know that I'll be here for you, for anything you need ;)

Was Anyone But You a good Much Ado About Nothing adaptation? No, not at all, but fuck it was fun!

#y’all know I have many thoughts about this play and these characters #but even though the movie didn’t completely live up to my expectations as an adaptation #I still really enjoyed it!#and I really despise all those people making posts about how sydney sweeney can’t act #idk it seems a little rude #my main problem is how they messed up the benedick and beatrice characterization and dynamic #I love that they played up the ex lovers thing (which is left up to interpretation in the play)#and i love love queer Hero and Claudio!!!#but their hatred of each other didn’t really pack the same punch as in the original #I suppose I wish they weren’t afraid to make the characters bigger assholes?#ya know- give them more flaws?#because right now the enemies part doesn’t really feel believable for big parts of the movie #They really could have leaned more into making Bea a bit of a cold and snappy mess (as she is in the original)#and Ben more of…ya know…actual human disaster who can’t commit #both of their characters in the play are driven by their desire never to marry and their distrust for the opposite sex #They included this a bit with Bea (her not believing in true love and all that)#but her break up with Jonathan (because he was too nice???) didn’t really convince me of it #They also keep insisting that Ben is a fuckboy but we never really see it demonstrated?#I personally don’t mind the fact that they changed up the whole ‘convincing them that the other secretly loves them’ bit #especially considering this is only loosely based on much ado #but I do think they made it a bit messy considering they included the gulling scenes but only as a joke #I wish they’d either leaned fully into the much ado plot or ditched it #I think what a lot of adaptations get wrong is that they’re either too afraid of leaning into their og media #or too afraid of seperating themselves from the og media #oh god I’ve reached the tag limit help #anyways- rant over #anyone but you #maria talks about things #much ado about nothing #beatrice x benedick

about to be annoying but id love to hear about your au sksw link and zelda and all of that.. ik they arent at all in the comic but i enjoy hearing about how you portray characters its fun!

Terrible news Sky Link and Zelda aren't that fleshed out tbh.....I don't have much for them and I wouldn't know what to say that's like....interesting.

#i mean #they both god some crazy imposter syndrome brought upon by Hylia making every step of skyward sword like #hey so i did all of this so you can kill this guy #all of it?#all of it #i planned just about EVERYTHING #not the bat demon tho.....or the redhead #but everything else yeah!#and sky just.....sinks #like oh. alright even like....my childhood?#y e a h #was zelda even supposed to be like???? a person?#and hylia looks over at her and goes uh......kinda #and zelda is now shrinking #what do you mean we were ONLY BORN TO TAKE OUT DEMISE......#and hylia puts her little wings together and just goes well i dont see what the problem is you both are people with your own lives #but you made that all up for us hylia #shes sweating #hylia not wanting to tell zelda she was a last minute plan because Hylia expected to be ALIVE for all of that but got murdered by her #queer robot son so that fucks

He lost a leg. He had to eat his own toe. What more do you people want.

#actually Ed shot him when he said I have feelings for you. So.#me vs ofmd #ofmd spoilers #I mean I think it was a little weird and I didn't love it but also he's clearly having a Thing #I feel like they did sort of have Izzy do this because he was going to be killed off so of course he had to give Stede and Ed his blessing #also what are we supposed to do about homophobes that come out as queer stone them to death forever #Like Izzy got what he wanted. Ed and Stede broke up. And it fucking sucked for him.#so it doesn't strike me as that odd that he's now supportive of their relationship. Especially after Stede fucking saved him.#and the crew gave him a new leg. Like. Things Happened.

#weve had to go back 3 different times to the cop house to get his ID complications worked out #and then a cop fucking confiscated MINE for being trans so now i have to go back and start #the qhole waiting game AGAIN to get my stupid fucking female ID in the mail instead #and then we have to drive HOURS to go get our marriage license anywhere that isnt HERE!!!!!!#AND THEN!!!!!!! well finally have the fucking PRIVILEGE of paying hundreds of dollars for our passports GREAT #i want to rip my HAIR OUT that there have been so many issues bc ALL of them have been bc of the fucking state troopers office #they have the wrong information on their website theyre mean theyre stupid they delight in shit going wrong #and that sounds like hyperbole but weve both been LAUGHED AT and the cop who told lo he cant have an M ID #like theyre nasty and unhelpful and thats why its taken this long bc lo needed help w smtn they just. wouldn't. help with.#and maryland just. wouldnt. help with.#and its like so what are we supposed to fuckjng do? exactly?#raagahsgsgshgghgg im just so. mad and irritated and annoyed #you wont work with us bc were visibly queer but we only need this shit to LEAVE so GET OVER IT AND HELP!

I really have the two most useless love languages for long distance friendships. What the fuck am I meant to do with acts of service and physical affection?

#relationships #Clskimo the Wifey #my best friend's love languages are gift giving and words of affirmation which work just fine over long distance but i cant match those!!#i suck at gift buying and using my words and she always gets me such thoughtful things that are exactly up my alley but sometimes #i wouldnt even think of them and it just :( she even buys from small businesses cus she knows thats something i care about and #what am i supposed to do?? i cant make soup over long distance i cant cook when shes sick and help her feel better i cant do sht #this sucks :( another one of my friends is having hard time right now and i wanna be there to help but i cant and im not good with words #so i cant even offer help over text #Queer gang

Well so apparently my voice is noticeably deeper, so much so that the drink delivery guy commented on it just now. However since i obviously wear a mask when he delivers as a cautionary measure this made for a very awkward interaction because he logically thought I was sick. So i had to sort of explain to him that while yes my voice is deeper I'm just going through voice drop and wear a mask out of principle, without getting into the whole trans thing during this two minute interaction (as he is on a schedule and i do not have the nerve, especially not sleep deprived and on my day off).

#own post #trans #i suppose I'll have to tell him soonish #however once the excitement of finally not hiding anymore wore off I'm really not that eager on all the coming out i still have to do tbh 😭#it's my grandma too this saturday this is horrible #i also still have to tell my elderly neighbour who's dishes i have and who i like more than aforementioned grandma #but it just feels so awkward #I'm actually not that good at coming out i barely did it so far #i don't know many people and i already told my family and then my non queer friends which went quite easily so it wasn't a big deal #so I really just don't know how to explain 😭#like how the fuck do you gauge how much people know about trans people?#do i start with “so have you heard of trans people?” or do i just default to the baby terms explanation of “so i use a new name because #while i was born a girl turns out I'm actually a man and that's what I'm doing now“ ??????#actually i think I'll do the last one #well thank you to the void for listening bye bye for now #remember to drink water

me 🤝 mike

trying to make ourselves like girls

#ih and internalized transphobia has an unusually strong grip on me the past few days I’ll be normal soon #anyway working on my current analysis…. the butterfly imagery around Mike makes me INSANE #the duffers really said ‘we are going to show that Mike is trying to make himself like girls & that other people are trying to make him like #girls by paralleling it to some stuff in one of the most horrifying ways possible’ like they rlly. did that #cannot wait to elaborate on this in the analysis because……. now that I Know what the butterflies mean for Mike…… head in hands #LIKE THE DUFFERS JUST COULDNT HAVE DONE IT ANY OTHER WAY HUH??? like it makes sense and it’s lowkey brilliant but. Jesus Christ that’s dark #I’ll explain the full thing in the analysis so this probably doesn’t make sense without the contex but just like. damn #like yes 99% of the time I love being gay but also…. we rlly do live in society…. and then medical transitioning is stressful #like I’m doing it but like. time. money. fear of surgery yk #don’t mind me ranting but like. the ‘trying to make urself’ like girls thing with Mike hits me like a brick every time bc while I Know #lesbians do Not have it easy & im not saying they do but growing up I knew that with where I lived etc while being a lesbian would’ve been #looked down on compared to being straight it wouldn’t have been seen as nearly as ‘bad’ as being trans yk #like that’s just the case for my circumstances and just. even trying to force myself to be bi and feeling like I Had to be into girls bc no #guy would ever take me seriously as a guy and that dudes were supposed to be into girls and if I wasn’t then I was just actually a straight #woman/not queer at all and just. a whole fucking mess like seriously I spent so long Trying to be into girls both as a girl and as a guy

OMG DID TOU READ THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES HELLOOOOO I FUCKING LOBE RHAT BOOK

I DID AND I AM STILL SO FUCKING MAD ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO SEJANUS HE DESERVED BETTER HE DESERVED THE WORLD AND CORIOLANUS TURNED THE WORLD AGAINST HIM OUGH FUCK SNOW ALSO THE ENDING MAKES ME GO INSANE LIKE SNOW MY MAN WHY DID YOU GO DOWN THIS PATH YES I KNOW YOU WERE DESTINED TO BE AWFUL BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I LIKE IT HOW DARE YOU HOW DARE YOU HOW DARE YOU

#now i'm thinking about the meanings behind the title...ough #sejanus was my BABY. also he read as kinda queer for coriolanus for a while ngl #and then suzanne collins had them going 'you're like a brother to me' and i died inside #to me the best part of the book was once the games came into play really #and then when the whole 'and then coriolanus signed up for the peacekeepers before the end of the day' thing when the games were over #made me go. WHAT #because WHAT #which was intentional but still #tbf. the jabberjay scenes were good. well used plot devices and characters #OH MY GOD I WAS SO HORRIFIED W/ SEJANUS' DEATH THOUGH #BECAUSE LIKE. WHAT. HE WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE SENT BACK TO THE CAPITOL WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S GETTING HUNG #AND THEN THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS LIKE CORIOLANUS YOU'RE GONNA SAVE HIM RIGHT?? YOU'RE GONNA DO THE RIGHT THING RIGHT???#AND THEN SUZANNE COLLINS SAID NO AND I WANTED TO CRY #all in all it's an interesting example of a negative character arc #though i think the ending was. a bit out of nowhere. a bit rushed. a sharp left turn where there should've been a curve if that makes sense #everything else was good though. the plot was great up until the end for me #ask #skylilac #...i need to be yelled at to keep writing the keefitz fic smh

i have the most insane fucking news

#fafsa got reprocessed they gave me a pell grant and my college saw that and gave me 20 fucking thousand dollars of grants #i’m in a special club now too with a special name for Scholars with Exceptional Financial Need #i fucking THOUGHT so. was terrifying when they gave me zero dollars and i am so glad it was a mistake #anyway i told my teacher this and he says it’s cause i manifested it….#i would say that my anxiety around the matter was not the kind of energy that brings in good things. but maybe i was secretly being positive #idk shdhdf it did arrive like five seconds after i decided i should commit anyway and figure out how to make it work #so then the universe said oh you’re actually gonna do it?? maybe i’ll save you from the hundred thousand dollars of debt actually #maybe college can be actually a possibility for you without ruining your life forever #so anyway everything is freaking incredible now and everything is okay #and i needed this. cause things have been getting worse and worse at home so like. positive news from an outside source is very much needed #i fucking knew i qualified for a pell grant and financial assistance i felt like i was being gaslit #they literally just miscalculated my family contribution. thought my dad must be funneling his income into something illegal cause we do not #have the money that the fafsa told me we did. but it was literally just fucking wrong and everything is okay #and my dad came into my room crying a couple days ago saying he wants to do everything he can to help me with my loans as soon as he’s done #with paying off his own or once they get forgave in a couple years. so arthur supportive father arc i guess. SHDHDHDF #that graph benji made about my dad getting less transphobic over time it’s coming true. guy put prefer not to answer in the gender section #of a form and he HOVERED OVER THE TRANS BUTTON. that’s insane coming from having screamed at each other about trans issues since before i #even knew that i was trans my dad and i had gotten in screaming debates about queerness and now he keeps saying weird stuff about how he #wants my life to be good. which is fucking baseline father behavior that’s what you’re supposed to get out of a dad but like. i have always #felt like i’m either drenched in expectations or that he just can’t wait for me to leave. so this is really good progress. and with the #financial aid that means that he’s actually going to be able to help. do you understand what this means my dad can help pay off my couple #thousand dollars of loans that are gonna be left over (cause now that they noticed i need aid it’s so fucking cheap) and do you fucking know #do you know what this means. i’m sorry for swearing i don’t know why i am. but what this means is. i won’t be in thousands of dollars of #debt when i graduate or i will be but the monthly payment will be so low and. i can get fucking top surgery is what this means. and go on t #i thought i was gonna be in so much debt that i couldn’t. but its gonna be like. a couple thousand dollars a year something insane like that #so foreseeably i could be getting top surgery by the time i’m 24. that’s insane i can’t even imagine #so anyway. just. everything is going to be okay and there’s actually hope in the world and i’m going insane #obviously saying this can very easily jinx me to literally never ever be happy. but i’m gonna take the manifesting route actually shdhdhf #my life will be So Good Forever. i Believe This Wholeheartedly. Good Things Will Come To Me #anyway i’m gonna run out of tags in a couple seconds but i really needed this you have no idea. i hope everybody is doing well

Kinda wild going on twitter, and seeing people with BOTH rad inclus and terf DNI

Like damn, as an inclusions I just block on sight, but like.. isn’t it kinda telling?

Like you have such a narrow idea of what other people’s experiences and labels could be, that you’re adding radinclus right next to EVEN MORE EXCLUSIONARY AND VIOLENT THING THAT HAS NO COMPARISON TO IT

It feels very centrist, like.. “I support lgbt people, but not TOO WEIRD I want respectability in how other people identify so cishets understand us”… like fuck offf….

#lgbtphobia #discourse #rambling i guess #tw: terfs #man I hate twitter why do we have to deal with discourse again during pride month #I’ve b]just been blocking tons of people lately for hating bi lesbians and it just makes me angry #I’m starting to question if I might be a bi lesbian myself and I’m really struck between being unsure if I even like men #so bi lesbian kinda describes me at the moment I suppose #I’ve never really wanted to use the term lesbian because it felt gendered #but now it’s like #you know.. seeing how many stone butch lesbians and butch nb lesbians I relate to and feel a kinship with #as well as hearing a definition that defined a lesbian as having a queer attraction to women with nothing to do with someone’s gender…#I’m thinking about it… really thinking #that’s what I’ve really liked about the term good faith in a way #like I am sitting here thinking about how my sexuality and gender interact in good faith #like we’re human beings at the end of the day #and we’re gonna be complicated or simple or change how we identify multiple times in our lives #I think sitting down and really listening to what bi lesbians say about their own experiences has just opened me up to the possibility #that I might be one too… and that the line between one identity and the other can be hard or it can be soft #it can be malleable.. you get what I mean? hope so..#sorry for the tags ramble ^u^;

Literally if reading Homestuck gave me nothing else then at least it gave me the concept of moirails (and using quadrants for all other media)

#ah yes this is for me its mine now #my aroace ass looking at the romantically coded friendship and going #ITS ABOUT THE LACK OF SEX ITS ABOUT THE TAKING CARE OF SOMEONE ITS ABOUT VALUING THEM #ITS ABOUT THAT QUEER SPACE BETWEEN ROMANCE AND FRIENDSHIP #.... yes i was reading about cDrunz as moirails shut up dont perceive me im a weak person #emotionally i cannot handle the concept of quadrants here because of fucking course it means Dream would have none #congrats hs the only thing (besides Gamzee) that you gave me was new ways to explore relationships #and of course thats all anyone ever gives a damn about /hj #anyway fucking. Dream starting with his quadrants at least partially filled. George in hearts Sapnap in Diamonds #Wilbur is waxing Something for him but its vacillating between red and black at all times WILBUR PLEASE #but dethronement happens and whoops now Dream has lost all his red and all his stability what will he do #Punz. Perfect Diamond. Best Pale friend. Please for the love of god give him a hug #Also gives Sap and Dreams relationship another facet of 'you were supposed to be there to calm him down to keep him from going this far'#its a palemates job to keep each other balanced and controlled so even if Dream is faking his general villainy #it still gives off the impression that he lost his diamond and Went Off The Fucking Deep End (aka Sapnap failed his job)#So Sapnap going 'Ill be the one to kill you' is actually a sort of last ditch pale. Or an attempt at forming clubs with Dream+Server #You could possibly see Techno and Dream in prison as a pale patch depending on how you characterize diamonds?#only a patch though in canon. For a multitude of reasons #yes nobody knows what Im talking about no I dont give a shit #i mean i do a little having someone to talk about this with would be nice #but thats irrelevant to me getting my thoughts out #anyway. Dream is what happens when you take the conciliatory quadrant and make it fucked up #Man's trying to vacillate the entire server to such an extreme that he's actively damaging himself and other people

#aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #remember when I got to listen to music? or watch things? or read things? or-#every month of every year it gets worse and i always tough it out and tell myself it’ll get better ‘soon’ but it’s been years #it’s been fucking years #im not even conscious for my own ‘existence’ anymore #at least i had some agency in my oppression before but now i have to commit myself to it just to stay alive and i see no end in sight #i’ve had to give up listening to music multiple years. fucking m u s i c .#i used to have music and books and manga and movies and shows and writing and drawing and editing to feel even the slightest bit alive #but every year things only ever get busier even when I can’t imagine things being any busier and year after year one by one i’ve had to drop #each and every thing that gives me life and i just cant take it anymore i cant fucking take it anymore #and i know im working this hard to secure a path o u t of my family situation so I can at least have one less thing to worry about but #but when everything always only gets worse year after year ‘even when surely i cant possibly get more worn down than this’ i just #how am i even supposed to hope that things could possibly get better when every year that hope proves to have been in vain?#im so tired…#and i can’t help but hold onto just a little bit of hope that things will turn up as soon as this happens or that #but im scared I can’t hold out much longer #i hate money… i hate that it literally dictates whether I live or die…#and i hate that having it is so dependent on who you’re related to and whether they like you…#what’s a queer to do //jester hat jingles softly as i sigh in profound melancholy #free time #let me in #homegrown memes #family #work #working class #lgbtqiia+#tag rambles

convinced kpop fans don't know what queerbaiting is actually

#turning off rb bc im not trying to start shit just wanna rant👍#like people calling be mine queerbaiting... literally just an mv about two guys in love #they basically kiss at the end too?? like what more are they supposed to do #none of them have showed anything but support for queer people afaik #is it queerbaiting bc none of them have come out?#if they all came out tomorrow would thay retroactively make them not queerbaiting?#theyre playing characters in a music video. like.#like obviously theyre doing it somewhat for profit i mean. its a business industry ultimately the goal is to make money #but theyre very involved with the music they produce....its obvious they care at least a little #also they receive homophobic hate for it? like ive seen death threats and shit and its like. idk man #like. idk if any of this even coherent #tldr is i love ooo a lot they make banger music and a #positive and realistic portrayal of the queer experience through their songs and mvs is more important to me #than worrying about whether theyre doing it solely for profit (which i think is pretty clear by now theyre not)
