I'm sorry you're having to deal with so much discourse, especially during pride. I hope people start thinking before they send an ask and say something completely uninformed. Thank you for running this blog, and making your gorgeous aesthetics. I hope your day gets better and that the rest of pride is everything you hope it will be!!

thank you so much for your kind words anon! they completely lifted my spirits! i hope i don’t have to deal with much more of it during pride month bc this is a month for me to openly be proud of who i am. i am completely aware of the fact that lesbians, gay men and bi men and women were also there and also fought for us but people have a habit of excluding trans women and this month it’s important to remember everyone who fought for us and carved the path for us to gain rights. 

i hope all of you have a wonderful pride! if any of you need help or advice during this month or any other time, im here for you, I stand by you and support you!

i’ve deleted all of the ace discourse asks from the blog bc this blog isn’t for discourse and honestly? ace discourse should have stayed it 2010 if we’re being completely honest. y’all know my stance on it and if the fact that i think cishets don’t belong in the lgbt community (a community that was created because we suffer at the hands of cishets and it was a community where we could be around people that have been through the same things we have and where we could be open about who we are and a place where we could fight for our right (u know the rights that cishets denied us)) bother you, unfollow and block me, i don’t care, this is a safe space for all mlm and nblm, that is a fact that i will stand by forever. 

now, im going to go take a nap bc i have not slept yet, im still taking requests for name aesthetic so send in yalls names, nini!

in future reference i’ll try to keep any and all discourse off of this blog bc it makes me very uncomfortable and anxious but all mlm are welcome here (the only exception is people who have nasty ideals (ex: transphobes, transmisogynists, lesbophobes, ableists, etc, any bigotry is not tolerated). we love all of our mlm followers and ur all so wonderful!

not to be high key discoursey…… but….. we should really stop calling ourselves achillean…. achilles was a fucking bad person in history…… we should find another term….. apollonian would be better honestly….

yeah this! although… I remember seeing a post saying that we (mlm) should avoid Ancient Greek terms in general (ie achillean) since, while the ancient Greeks were indeed Gay™, the men of the time were highly misogynistic (among other things) & that’s not something we want to associate with

then again, you can argue that Sappho herself wasn’t perfect (I remember hearing she wrote poems encouraging relationships between adults and children/young teens? but I’m not sure). but the fact it’s ancient history so there’s fewer sources & it’s harder to tell the intentions or context of her work

still… Apollo wasn’t a real person so there’s no real world baggage

yeah! men in ancient greece were highly misogynistic and it’s really ugly and if possible, we shouldn’t even give ourselves a term based off of greek figures. we only brought on achillean bc wlw coined the term sapphic. 

us calling ourselves achillean, while achilles himself was a rapist, murderer and was an awful person leaves a really bad taste in my mouth.

if youre a shitty person and gay thats valid

literally.... that is not how it works.... we brought upon the term achillean bc wlw coined the term sapphic. 

achillean raped and killed people, he was not a hero or a good person. we shouldn’t be calling ourselves achillean because he was a fuckign disgusting person.

people who are are out and comfortable with themself and proud of who they are and express that in this month for than ever are extremely valid and important and i wish you the most happiness.

people who can’t come out because of homophobic and transphobic environments are extremely valid and i wish for you to find yourself in an accepting environment soon because you deserve to be happy with who you are and you deserve to be surrounded by people who accept you.

you are all valid and braver than every u.s marine.
