god like nobody talks about just how traumatic puberty can be for trans people. it isn't just the typical "my body is changing", it's "my body is changing in a way that does not match how I see myself. every day I look at myself and i see less and less who I really am. there is nothing I can do about this and (likely) I don't know anyone going through the same thing." the helplessness of it all and the way that people start treating you even more differently, and not being able to express what's wrong- it's hellish. it compares to body horror, almost. it's traumatic, and i hope that one day no other trans person will have to suffer as much.
i wish there were more stories that used typically romantic tropes in a platonic manner
fake dating, but its just two mates who find it hilarious that everybody thinks they’re into each other
only one bed, and its two emotionally inept people who end up cuddling and get very embarrassed in the morning that they actually have human feelings
soulmates, because YES they can be soulmates without falling in love and getting married, but just be friends or queerplatonic partners instead??
love triangle but its just three aroace ppl pretending to have crushes, and they all end up mates instead
my partner & i recently transitioned to being best friend platonic partners and romantically separated (due to some simple romantic incompatibilities) - we're both very happy with and excited about this change and most importantly we think it is VERY funny and gay to continue doing everything together and living together as exes

“Speak not of what men deserve. For we each of us deserve everything, every luxury that was ever piled in the tombs of the dead kings, and we each of us deserve nothing, not a mouthful of bread in hunger. Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think.”
— Ursula K. LeGuin, The Dispossessed. (via outlawpoet)
Neil Gaiman on why he cast Michael Sheen as Aziraphale:
"Michael had said he wanted to be in it from the very start. Around 2014ish. We both assumed he'd be Crowley. Except as I wrote it, I kept thinking of the Michael I know: an incredibly sweet, sensitive, funny man determined to do good and to do the right thing, and I kept thinking of him as my Aziraphale."
My Aziraphale.
