closes the baby gate behind me when i log off so none of you can leave

fic writers who make Mace Windu the bad guy in their stories for no reason could at least have the decency to make it funny, like turning him into Sister Michael from Derry girls:

Mace Windu: “I know how daunting Council reports can be, so if anyone is feeling anxious or worried or even if you just want to chat, please, please, do not come crying to me.”

or

Plo Koon: “If that isn’t clear, feel free to say so.” Mace Windu: “But know that you will be judged.”

this pride month, make it clear to everyone that you stand by trans women and will always fight to make the world safer for them

i just think that men with long hair

btw mutuals i imagine you all as really hot and androgynous so don’t even worry about it

“Mooom could you get my toy for me?”

happy pride to bi people, especially but not exclusively to

pride can feel really alienating to us, especially online and especially especially on tumblr. you're loved and none of your preferences, past or current partners, or dating habits detract from your bisexuality in any way. you belong at pride.

I like having curly hair and I like how I look with glasses but having the two traits together makes me look like a librarian. like some sort of poindexter

Someone break into hollywood hq and steal all their waxing supplies if men dont start having arm hair in movies again soon im going to start egging houses

What about women 🤨

I’m a gay man and i’m horny. This aint about misogyny and racism and body policing thats for another post with important political points. this is about wanting to gnaw on mark ruffalo’s forearms like a rottweiler with some rawhide.

fucked up that i can’t listen to a podcast, listen to an album, study, draw, read a book, watch a tv show, watch a movie, journal, facetime a friend, go on a hike, go on a run, and bake all at the same time 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 guess the only option is to do nothing

A heem for the pride pfp <3

can we like…get rid of the so-called leather and rubber “pride flags” ? it’s honestly ridiculous and offensive to the lgbtq community. those aren’t pride flags. 

The leather pride flag is the second oldest pride flag. It has been at almost every single US pride parade and protest in history.

It’s older then you are, it’s older then I am. The leather community is responsible for pride. Leather daddies were the ones chasing away cops when they tried to arrest us for being queer in public back when Pride Parades were illegal in the US. They are still the ones chasing away cops and corporations from smaller pride events and those that aren’t sanctioned by Wells Fargo. The leather community is essential to the queer community and has a long and rich history.

Please fuck off if you’re not going to learn the actual history of pride.

And don’t fucking out your hate in our tags, asshole.

The leather pride flag represents an expression of self which is inherently queer, and a community which has been around for generations. It is not offensive to the LGBT+ community in any way. I have seen cis gay and bisexual men standing shoulder-to-shoulder with trans men, all of them united by their leather community roots. The leather community is more diverse and nuanced than you perhaps know, but that is no reason for you to shit on a community you don’t understand.

Here is a photograph from 1998, displaying the leather pride flag, the bear gay pride flag, and the rainbow flag. This is our history.

Here is a photograph from 1987: three queer women entering into the Ms. National Leather Association Contest, or simply gathering as spectators.

A photograph from 1988: Tony Deblase, the creator of the leather pride flag, and a gay man, embracing a fellow member of the leather community. Over his shoulder is Judy Tallwing McCarthy, a Native American woman who was part of the leather community from 1959. She co-founded the first lesbian BDSM group in Portland, along with her partner, Sashie Hyatt.

Just because you don’t know the history, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Be humble, and always assume you have more to learn. Hatred, and outright dismissal of communities you know nothing about, is the most aggressively anti-LGBT thing I can imagine.

The leather community has always included trans people, lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals. The leather community is global and nuanced. The leather community is where many of us encounter our found families, and our lovers. For you to dismiss that is cold-hearted and ignorant. Just because queer sex is involved, doesn’t make the community dirty or bad.

I’m again fucking begging the baby gays to read/watch/listen to How To Survive A Plague.

Do you have any. Any idea. Any god damn clue. How kink intersects with LGBT and queer community. Queer history. Do you know why the community pushed for, and against, closing the bathhouses during the 80s? Do you know who organized awareness campaigns about HIV, even way back when it was still called GIRD. Do you know who created the safe sex pamphlets, the classes, who pushed for disclosing your health history to partners, who distributed contraceptives and condoms and dental dams at parties and meetings and baths? Do you even know where the safe sex education we have now comes from? Do you know where a bulk of the language about consent came from? Do you have any good god damn idea what the kink communities have done for us, and continue to do for us?

Keep their names out of your mouths because you clearly don’t know what the hell you’re talking about

Imagine when a lukewarm take is so wrong that the author rightfully, publicly drags it....

"Say you've never read Sandman without saying you've never read Sandman."

It's definitely been a week. How did it get so normal and sensible on Tumblr, while the grumpy shouty people are off on Twitter? So odd...

I know I just reblogged this but I’ve now looked at the casting and realised what’s actually going on here - it’s the John Constantine fanboys pitching a fit because he’s been genderflipped to Johanna Constantine.

(Which IMO is a TRULY EXCELLENT DECISION particularly paired with casting Jenna Coleman A+++ will be watching.)

Most of them probably haven’t read Sandman and are only aware of the major Endless characters through DC Osmosis; they’re pitching a hissy fit over the idea of their fave edgy white bro being a girl now and just assuming that anything else on the casting list that looks “woke” is a new change.

WAIT IT GETS DUMBER I had actually forgotten that Johanna Constantine is a character in her own right in the Sandman (she’s an ancestor of John’s) so this isn’t even a gender flip it’s just bringing that character in to fill his role, I would assume.

been seeing too many memes about the fake gaston prequel movie this week that are blatantly ignoring the very real gaston prequel show that’s currently in development

THIS ISN’T A JOKE ANYMORE WE’RE GETTING A MUSICAL COMEDY ABOUT GASTON’S PTSD WAR TRAUMA AND JOSH GAD’S CLOSETED SIDEKICK

The secret to writing relatable characters is to picture yourself in their circumstances, carefully fix in your mind exactly what information would be available to you in that situation, and figure out what the worst possible decision you can imagine yourself honestly thinking seemed like a good idea at the time is.

When people say “don’t write idiot plots”, that doesn’t mean never have characters make stupid decisions: it means don’t have them make decisions that are stupid simply because they’re convenient for the plot. Your characters’ choices should be well reasoned and well justified from their own perspective, and at the same time, from a hypothetical omniscient observer’s perspective the dumbest fucking thing you’ve ever heard.
