sometimes i just want to go up in someone's face when they ignore me
i'm sitting on the toilet thinking about how fear could have been our first emotion but love could have been too. fear to keep you alive, and love so that it was worth staying alive. so that the people around you know how it is to be held, how it is to be nursed back into health. so that those after you will remember, in their blood, what it means to love. because you loved. and will love.
i am not saying female characters cannot be homophobic, and neither am I saying all fics are like this. But if you just target female characters for the purpose of fighting homophobia you're either being lazy or misogynist. Gay people are literally being shunned around the world by religious bigots, toxic masculinity, the law system and politicians but the only cause of homophobia you could come up with is.... women. nice.
i know you guys are going to kill me for this but,,, When people write gay fiction on heteronormative shows e.g Sherlock, the female love interest is villainized or dumbed down. You try to show that homophobia and queerbaiting is bad but you just end up decimating female characters on the basis that they're 'coming in between the main ship' . Why. Aren't there other ways to fight homophobia other than just being wildly inaccurate or just plain mean about female characters? I can see this crap with Sharon Carter and Molly Hooper on this site.
For all the nerds, geeks and book lovers and library-sitters who are always left out.
This is for you.
My grandparents bought this for my mother during the 90's- they're stored in excellent condition! Not a page torn or out of place. They smell ancient and I think I sniff at them more than I read them.
i don't know what this means but i feel it
they don't tell that it really is you and your fuckass lil croissant against the world
i feel like will graham would be the average ao3 author. the kind to leave the work for two years and then come back like oh yeah:) sorry about that:) i had a bit of an episode and got stabbed in the gut by my therapist:) but now i'm back :) (they fuck in this one by the way, sorry for the wait)
absolutely love it when a man has a shadow. that's my opaque king
