25 for pride asks ^^
25. What queer discourse frustrates you the most??
“saying queer is a slur is a terf dog whistle” no it literally is not, queer is a slur, it has been reclaimed by a lot of people and a lot of people do find comfort and power in it but it is still a slur and you cant force a word onto people who aren’t comfortable with it. a word that ALSO holds a lot of significance in our community! NONE of these ideas are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE!!!!!! if someone tells you not to call them queer, literally just DONT!!!! i personally have never identified with the queer label, im uncomfortable with being called queer, and that’s a personal choice but not wanting to be called a word that i personally dont feel comfortable with reclaiming for myself because of its history and use as a slur does not make me a fucking TERF, my GOD.
but also most flag discourse <3 like i have my own opinions on different flags and versions of flags and stuff but like. most of it just does not matter and we’re fighting over stuff for LITERALLY NO REASON!!!!!
Pride asks for fun:
- Which labels do you use?
- Do you like to use the term queer for yourself? Or just LGBT, etc?
- Which pronouns do you use?
- Are you "out" to your family and friends?
- Are you "out" publicly?
- (If you're out) do you wish you came out sooner? Later? Or was it the right time?
- Are you the "token" queer person in your family?
- Describe your gender without using any words traditionally related to gender:
- When did you realize you weren't cishet?
- Something that gives you gender euphoria (whether you're cis or trans):
- Favorite (or just one you love) piece of LGBT media?
- Name some queer artists/bands or songs you like most:
- Do you choose to reclaim slurs, why or why not?
- How do you think other factors like neurodivergency or upbringing have impacted your identity?
- How has your identity changed over time?
- Do you attend Pride in person every year?
- Have you ever attended Pride in a big city/ large metro area?
- How old were you when you got to attend your first Pride? Who did you go with?
- Do you feel safe and accepted in your local community?
- Do you feel like you "fit in" with the queer/Pride community overall?
- What message would you give to your younger self?
- How do you usually celebrate Pride month?
- Do you prefer loud parties or quiet?
- Do you practice any religion, if so how does it play into your LGBT identity? Do you feel welcomed by your spiritual community?
- What queer discourse frustrates you the most?
- How do you feel about the term partner rather than husband/girlfriend/etc?
- What gender-neutral terms for yourself or others do you use (i.e. joyfriend)?
- Do you experience both romantic and sexual attraction? Do you experience them the same across any gender(s) you are attracted to?
- Are you currently partnered, or if not are you interested in having partner(s)?
- Are you monogamous or polyamorous?
- Post a pic in your pride gear (or it can just be a selfie or anything else lgbt):
- Do you do arts and crafts? Post a pic of a project you've done:
- What about your LGBT identity do you feel proud of/ want to recognize/celebrate?
- What are you needing most right now (what would make your life easier or more fulfilling in regards to existing as queer)?
- Anything else you want to ask during Pride:

CARRYING THE BANNER INTO PRIDE 2023‼️
so magical how there was no leadup to the release of gollum, no advertising no warning it just came out and was bad immediately.
Your fat body is not a placeholder for a "better" you. It IS you. And you deserve love and respect NOW.
Being older is weird - so let’s play a game about it!
#i wanna say call my bank but thats an incredible cop out answer for me (i…. work there)#so i gotta go with ikea cabinet#ive put so much ikea furniture together it’s not even funny but like. it’s not hard#we’re in that position of ‘make enough to get new furniture from ikea but not enough to get it from elsewhere’
"If you smile too much you'll get laugh lines!!!!!" what a horrible curse, to be afraid of having happiness permanently placed onto your body
someone put this screenshot in my notes and i wasn't gonna put the op on blast but i cannot stop thinking about it. this is up there as one of the funniest doubling downs i've ever seen. "it's called craft. it's called storytelling." is going to enter my meme vernacular and no one is going to have any idea what i'm talking about. the count of monte cristo shows a clear lack of craft in its wordcount. if only ernest hemingway's editor had killed more of his darlings while he wrote for whom the bell tolls. readers and editors alike are always complaining about how fucking long to kill a mockingbird is.
Valid Jane Austen Novels:
- Northanger Abbey
- Persuasion
Kindling:
- Sense & Sensibility
- Pride & Prejudice
- Mansfield Park
- Emma
I sometimes think that people who have never had to do this for a living think of 100,000 words the way I thought of $20 when I was twelve (and sometimes do, when I'm broke and hungry). That is So Many Words! Sooooo many words!
It is not that many words.
A short urban fantasy is going to be somewhere between 100,000 and 110,000 words--and that's about the minimum. Any shorter and people start getting mad at the cover price. A meaty thriller or modern fantasy will be closer to 150,000-175,000.
You want books under 100k? Young adult tends to run around 80,000, and there are always novellas.
"it's called having a brutal editor and kissing their feet for the vital work that they do"
Look bud your kink is emphatically not my kink, and you need to respect that.
(Did you know? I post daily comics on my Patreon! I’ve posted more than 100 comics there already, so please consider subscribing if you’re able! It’d make me very happy and it also helps me pay for food, bills and other necessities for both of us :D)
what are you wearing rn and is it representative of your style
