Stick it to Rainbow Capitalism!

Since rainbow capitalism sucks, here are some small queer shops to support this coming pride month instead of giving all your money to Disney and Walmart!

And finally, it's not specifically queer, but these shops do custom flags!

If you have a shop or know a shop you want to promote, please reblog with a link!

rb to have a very gay 2022

No but seriously as I’ve gotten older I realize more and more that although white gays do face certain levels of oppression they are still white people.....like does that make sense?

Like yes a white lesbian has some form oppression against her but she’s still a white woman..... and the same thing for white gay men and white trans men and women like they’re still white !!!!!!

Like I don’t mean this in a rude way but like if we’re going to be honest about the lgbtq community we should also talk about how the white people in said community oppress poc and it doesn’t change just because they’re in a minority group they’re still white people

And like personally I’ve seen that white lgbtq ppl hate when you bring up that their still white because they’ve separated themselves in their mind as being better but they’re still white!!!

Hello white people should definitely be looking at this and reblogging it lmaooo

 I didn’t know that I had dyspraxia until I was 20. I only found out via google search after a rough day at work. 

I just got diagnosed today, I'm 20 and I had never heard of it. Explains a lot but kind of sucks that I've basically finished my education and should have been getting help a lot more than I was.

Dyspraxia culture is inadvertently performing slapstick comedy as you go about your day.

Me: *wants to try out a new craft that requires good hand eye coordination or good motor skills*

My dyspraxia:

dyspraxic culture is sheer, unbridled stress coursing through your veins whenever you have to walk while holding liquid

dyspraxia things:

the only good thing about troy (2004) is the letterboxd reviews about achilles and patroclus

(+ bonus bc it's sending me)

Concept: The next Iliad adaptation should be a Muppet Movie

Carry On Countdown Master List

I enjoyed participating in the Carry On Countdown this year, even though I didn’t hit as many of the prompts as I intended. My first two fics were written during nanowrimo (my first time trying that) and I may not have hit my word count but I’m content that I managed to write those two stories. Here is my entire list of Carry On Countdown 2019 fics. Don’t be surprised if some of my ideas for prompts I didn’t fill end up as fics this coming year! 

Day 1: Sun and Moon

Always The Sun 

Non-magical AU. In the high pressure world of international fashion Baz Pitch is a well recognised face and name. He finds himself unexpectedly thrust into forced proximity with Simon Snow, the inexperienced model who has become Watford’s new face and director Mage’s new protege. Thrown together for the frenetic events of Fashion Week across the globe, Simon and Baz find themselves spending more time together than either of them expect and revealing more to each other than anticipated. Fluff and mutual pining, soft boys in love. 

Day 2: Role Swap

Mirror Man 

Simon returns for eighth year at Watford but to his dismay the roommate he’s been pining over for three years is nowhere to be found. Simon searches for Baz, avoids Agatha and tries to come to terms with the long-term feelings he has for his missing roommate.

(I fully intend to come back to write more of this one)

Day 9: Pattern

Strangeness and Charm 

Simon and Baz favor the same coffee shop and engage in a competition over who is the most loyal customer. The competition grows heated but so do their emotions. A non-magical coffee shop AU of boys plotting, pining and falling in love.

Day 11: Angst (this fic also filled the Magical Creatures and Carry On Prequel and Parental Figures prompts)

Scary Monsters  

set pre-Carry On. Young Baz deals with his concerns and anxieties about his eventual transition to full vampire state. There is support for him, from unexpected sources, but it doesn’t make the realizations and realities all that much easier to face. But sometimes it’s good to know you aren’t completely alone. Originally written for the Carry On Countdown magical creatures prompt but then it expanded to a Carry On prequel with an added a dash of parental figures to finally end up solidly in the angst category. Consider this a combo fic for all of those prompts.

Day 14: Favorite Trope/Cliche (this fic also filled the Music/Song prompt)

Let’s Dance 

Simon and Baz are old schoolmates, roommates years ago at Watford. They’re both out of uni now and both undeniably single, which their friends find completely unacceptable. Penny has a solution for Simon’s doldrums and Baz was inebriated enough to agree to a bet with Dev and Niall. The boys end up on a blind date for Flirty Dancing and find they are as obsessed with each other as they ever were. But there’s something more there than either of them expect. Mutual pining, blind dates, Dev and Niall banter and sexy dance moves. Simon and Baz Flirty Dancing fic–If you aren’t familiar with Flirty Dancing it’s a UK blind date show where both contestants are given choreography and their first date is a performance of that dance. Look at this video on youtube–it was the inspiration for this fic.

Day 20: Fairy Tale/Myth Retelling

Stand By Me Simon and Baz as Orestes and Pylades, from the Greek myth and play The Oresteia, the story of trials and tribulations of Orestes (the son of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra) and his faithful companion Pylades. Set after the Trojan War.

Day 30: Christmas Celebration

I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm

A glimpse of domestic Baz and Simon soft morning moments on Christmas Eve day, set after events of Wayward Son. Ficlet written for the Carry On Countdown Day 30 Christmas Celebration. Based on art of Simon and Baz in Christmas jumpers by dancingwithdinosaurs on tumblr.
