“Keep descriptions short and don’t use poetic/flowery language in a novel” “if a scene doesn’t advance the plot cut it” “avoid complicated symbolism and hinting at things, just say what you mean” “too much worldbuilding is distracting” bites you bites you bites you bites you bites y
when i call myself queer, i don't mean queer as in watered down to fit cishet tastes, i mean:
queer as in not your token gay or your gay best friend,
queer as in more bite than bark and proudly so,
queer as in the only thing you need to know about is the pepper pray and switchblade in my pocket from years of fear of the streets at night,
queer as in loud and proud and shouting out fuck you.
my identity is not water color so diluted you'd never know it's there without being told, my identity is spray paint on city walls that makes you wonder how it got there,
my identity is drag shows and men kissing men with passion,
my identity is not going to taste sweet in your mouth,
my identity is sour and bitter and bites back harder.
i do not exist to fit within the confines of boxes drawn by the hands of cishet bigots dreaming of crossing out my life, i exist at riots and rallies and pride parades along side allies; i exist in strength and pride earned by bricks thrown and i will not be silenced:
my trans body deserves to occupy space in any situation and my gay heart deserves to beat without fear.
are u a “I can only have 4 tabs open or I will spontaneously combust” person or a “I have 83 tabs open and at least 12 of them are exactly the same” person

reblog to send three ghosts after elon musk
he really likes ice age. i have proof that came to me in a vision. sam winchester is canonically not with dean while 4 of the films are playing in theatres and you see what they are trying to tell us is that while he is not with dean, sam will pay money to go watch ice age at the movies.
ice age (2002) comes out while sam has run away to stanford. ice age: the great meltdown (2006) is airing while sam and dean separate in the scarecrow episode. ice age: dawn of the dinosaurs (2009) is in cinemas while he and dean have their big fight in season 5 and sam works at a bar. ice age: continental drift (2012) is out 2 months after dean goes to purgatory.
it is unknown what sam is up to when ice age 5 comes out. my guess is that he pirated it on his laptop in his room at the bunker after getting tortured by the men of letters. if you even care.

actually im just gonna make my own post about it: please read more webcomics. please try them. every time people make posts about “aw man i wish SOMEone would WRITE about FLAVOR OF QUEER THING/TRAUMA OR ABUSE BUT IN SPECIFIC WAYS I CAN RELATE TO/WHATEVER” and then it gets reblogged into a giant thread of people agreeing with it and demanding Content i die because whatever it is is definitely being painstakingly created by an indie author who would really like for people to consume it and every time i point this out people suddenly can’t read lmao
it is out there it is free it is being made from firsthand experiences by people who care very very deeply who would be DELIGHTED to hear that it’s resonating with anybody at all, please throw some of that enthusiasm and support at people who will actually appreciate it
if you’re an indie comic person and any of this applies to you i encourage you to reblog this with a link to your comic and a short synopsis so people can browse the notes and find shit they’re looking for. or make your own post on your own blog if you don’t want to fool with other people i don’t care this is a sign from the universe that you should be louder about what you’re working on because people can’t fucking find it apparently.
i’ll go first i make kidd commander and it’s about an ensemble cast of queers on their way to kill god, they live on an airship and they’re all too pissed off to die. it’s free to read and it’s in the middle of its third arc right now. it lives here http://kiddcommander.com/
go go go
i may be physically deteriorating, but at least i’m mentally falling apart
