Man I love paratexts. Yessss tell me more about a piece of media that doesn’t exist and that I will never be able to consume in the ways the characters can.

you can make a real life Candle Cove but it won’t be the Candle Cove the creepypasta was about. you can make a real life Navidson Record but it won’t be the Navidson Record House of Leaves discusses. you can make a real life King in Yellow play but it won’t be the cursed King in Yellow play that messes with your head. you can make a real life Goncharov but it won’t be the Goncharov that could have existed.

“it’s weird for queer minors to be friends with queer adults” oh my god. ohhh my god.

intergenerational community support, especially in a community that is split so much age wise as the queer community, is immensely fucking important. get to know older queers and younger queers. this is how communities frazzle out and die to infighting.

the hypothetical queer adult that people are mad over in the post this is refrencing is 35 years old. only 35.

its weird for any minors to be friends with any adults, queer or not. There should be no reason why unrelated adults or minors should be making close relationships in any sense outside of professional ones. I understand wanting education, but they can be taught when they are adults as well.

is this a joke.

If you believe there is something inherently wrong with adults being friends with teens, you've been brainwashed into believing that every adult sees youth as a form solicitation.

This makes you part of the problem.

also its my birthday soon and i stayed up until like 6am yesterday drawing the two pieces i just posted cuz i couldnt let myself go to bed without having done Something about the thoughts and feelings inside of me am i so very sleepy and tired now even though i've slept like 8 hours? yes. do i regret it? not really

I feel like so much slur discourse could get solved by discussing intent. “I’m okay with faggot but don’t like when someone yells it out a car at me.” Yeah no shit. I like physical touch in the form of a hug but don’t like it when it is in the form of a punch. People have said the word “gay” “lesbian” “trans” what have you with the most hateful vitriol they can muster because they MEAN it like a slur. So many of us have heard the tone that may as well make the word a slur.

If I saw a sign that says “I hunt members of the LGBTQIA+ community for sport” it wouldn’t really feel different from “I want to kill faggots.”

Additionally, I LIKE that it makes people cringe. It used to make me cringe. Those words have history for me too. But they also are not able to be sanitized by corporations. Shitlibs who would never rock the boat to protect me are never going to NOT shrink away at me calling myself a dyke and I do not care.

MY intent IS vitriol back, sometimes. A bold statement of attack. But sometimes it’s a joke. “His faggy mannerisms have captivated me.” Sometimes it’s a badge of honor from older queers. Sometimes it’s not that deep. What’s behind the words, what the intent is is everything.
