Can We Still Be Friends?

a lot of meta-fandom complaints that i hear often feel like Unintentional Rips on queer people.

"why does every character have to have a Queer Headcanon attached" i dunno, because most of us making them are queer

"why does everything have to be Found Family" i dunno, because most of us are queer without families

"why is everything about shipping" i dunno, because most of us are only having true relationships for the first time in like, our mid twenties

"why are you so obsessed with Redemption and Evil" i dunno, because most of us queers are painted as such by our peers, relatives, and media from the start. in the eyes of the Cishets, at best we have an agenda, at worst we're pedophiles made of hellfire

"why are so many queer adults into this Thing For Kids" i dunno, because most of us queers were so alienated from ourselves during our childhoods (esp us transes) that we're just now rediscovering the wonder in this world

lotta queer folks in the US are orphans in almost every way possible, and have next to nothing to call their own: spiritually, culturally, materially. we're moored to a profound trauma from birth sometimes. being a little passionate and annoying about Fandom is probably better than like, suicide. your friend's trans Three Houses Warrior Cats AU is such a trivial price to pay for their continued existence

Your first pride story was touching and all but you still married a man.

Yeah, bisexuals do that sometimes.

oh yeah i don't think I've said this before but:

i feel like a stranger in my own body most of the time

i know barely anything about myself and what i like

i don't feel like a girl. not fully, i don't not feel like a girl either.

You should put him in tupperware and shake him.

Holy shit I finished this like 3 weeks ago and then completely forgot to post Enjoy the silly block people living in my head rent-free that I draw as an excuse to experiment with design

I wish I could be the hat of a much larger me that is 140 years old.

crazy question but have u ever drawn yaoi where one is a girl? i forget what's it called tho

HETEROSEXUALITY?

sometimes it’s really hard to be trans. i came out to my best friend today, and she’s stopped talking to me and has blocked me everywhere. i’m not out to my family, because it’s honestly not safe for me, and i’m not out at school for the same reason. this is the only place where people know i’m a boy. sometimes it’s really overwhelming to be trapped, knowing that it will be so long until i can be out, if ever. and i’m scared too. the world is terrifying for queer people. i want to have a future as myself, but i don’t know how possible that is in the US. i just wish i could look in the mirror and recognize who’s looking back
