IT'S FINE IT'S STILL GOOD

Hello 😇👋,

Our family is facing incredibly difficult times due to the ongoing war in Gaza 💔. Our dreams and future have been shattered, leaving us feeling lost and without purpose. Anas and Ahmad have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help them escape Gaza, continue their education, and support our family.

Making a small donation or sharing the campaign would mean the world to us.

Im not a huge fan of aspec shipping discourse but i have some strong opinions rn. So, ive come up with a hypothetical. Imagine this:

Pretend that we’re back when there was NO LGBTQ representation in media. As in, you could think of literally example of a queer character if asked. (I know LGBTQ rep is still scarce, but not as scarce as it used to be, so just pretend it is that super rare).

Lets say that there is a canonically sapphic character in a show you like, let’s say she’s a girl. You get so excited because there’s literally NO rep in any other shows you can find. Excited, you go on the internet to look for stuff about her. However, when you get onto your social media of choice, all you see is fan content shipping her with a male character.

On the surface, this is completely fine. After all, the show doesn’t exactly specify her identity, she could be bi, pan, etc. Sapphic women can like men. But, you find it odd how the only ship art is with her and a man. She had chemistry with tons of female characters, after all. Why not ship her with them? It seems telling that most people ignore her queerness and just say “sapphic women can still date men” to excuse it, despite that being true.

When you post about how frustrating it is, people start getting mad, saying that you’re gatekeeping queerness. People ignore your points and just say “but queer people can be in straight relationships” even though you know that’s true. People say that “its just fan content, let them have fun.” Most people doing the shipping aren’t even sapphic themselves.

To you, it feels like the only piece of canon representation you have is being ignored completely. You know queer people can have straight relationships, you have no issue with that. It’s the fact that people are basically treating her like a straight character and ignoring her queerness that bothers you.

This is how it feels to see people shipping aro character. I know aro people can date. I’m aro and I hope to be in a relationship someday. Some of my closest friends are aspec and are dating other aspecs. But that’s not the point.

The point is that when aspec characters become canon, which is UNBELIEVABLY RARE, so many people choose to ship them anyways. Not only this, but people’s just treat them as if they were allo, just using “aspecs can date” as a cover for completely ignoring the character’s identity. Aspec relationships have nuance. They sometimes don’t look like a “normal” allo relationship.

You can ship aspec characters respectfully. You can:

Put them in a queerplatonic relationship

Put them in a romantic relationship that doesnt involve sex (if they’re allo-ace)

Put them in a sexual relationship that doesnt involve romance (if theyre aro-allo)

Put them in a relationship that’s sexual and romantic, but acknowledge that the relationship might be different than a one between allo people

Handle the ships with nuance and understand that even in a relationship, the character still isnt allo

And most importantly, listen to aspec people when they tell you something you’re doing is inaccurate or harmful.

Sorry for the rant but just… please listen to aspec people!!! We deserve good representation too

I hope you and your friend are doing well. I hope they can escape that environment soon.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN AND ALL OTHER ASSORTED FAIRYTALE BEINGS, I NEED HELP WITH SOMETHING!

I have a transmasc friend who lives in an unsupportive environment, and I really want to help him out. He isn’t misgendered as female, but is told that nobody should have to use his preferred pronouns (He/They) because they aren’t used to them, and that ‘for good public image’, he should use They/Them only when he ‘must advertise his gender to the public’.

Obviously I’m pissed as FUCK, because this is exactly what I experienced (and still experience) as a young transmasc adult. I know firsthand how shitty it feels to be told that your identity doesn’t deserve respect or acknowledgement because ‘people aren’t used to seeing you that way’.

The main message of this post: ANYBODY who adds a note, whether liking, reblogging, or replying, will have their username written down in a notebook that I will send to him to show his family. If you reblog/reply with a supportive comment or tag, I’ll write that too under your username.

Please and thank you all ❤️

Oh... I'm sorry Hexxie... some people aren't cut out to be parents. You deserve better.

dad's not doing so hot right now so I'll ask you guys!! so what's a condom?

Same person as OP, different account

The Eyes Of Cats OC!

@sm-baby

They're a shelter cat akin to abandoned/abused rescue cats. They're very anxious and attack aliens. Being naturally forgiving, they've given more chances but had too many bad experiences. They most likely do get adopted and end up with lots of siblings the alien adopted. I'm probably going to add more, but this is what I have so far. ^^"

Honestly, I think this whole thing is dumb. These companies are making billions. I'm pretty sure most people look for whatever is cheapest. Also what the hell is Plexiglas??

no idea where i was going with this but i abandoned it at the most disconcerting moment possible

Cat grass is just grass grown for cats. It is helpful with something, but I don't think Red has to worry about it.

Cat grass? :)

Is it like catnip?-

Oh no-

Pour one out for a real one.

Good! Very good! We will blend in perfectly!
