RUPERT GILES in BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER (1997-2003)

Being trans is like being given a house that sucks. The pipes are leaky and the wallpaper is so ugly and the beds are lumpy and you feel uncomfortable every time you set foot in there.

Everyone else seems to really like their houses though, and you can’t see inside of them, so you just assume that you’re being weird.

And then you hear about the construction project that’s happening down the road. And you didn’t know that was an option. You can just…fix your house? It can be better? You don’t have to live with the horrible lighting and weird furniture?

But other people scoff at the construction. They complain about the noise. “Why can’t they just be happy? The plumbing is great and the furniture is so comfortable! Why would you change it? And why do we have to deal with all their issues anyways? They could just do it quietly, away from us!” And you thought everyone hated their houses, at least a little. And it’s so much work to renovate. It’s fine in your house. It sucks, but it’s fine.

Then one day you try putting up a new painting. Something small. Just for you. Just to try it. And it feels like you. It feels right. And you didn’t know anything felt that good, ever. So you start to do more. And more. And eventually you might even start construction. And it’s inconvenient, and loud, and people complain, but you didn’t know that it could feel good to go home.

And then, one day, your renovations are done. And you get to have a home like everyone else. And that joy you felt looking at that painting? It’s everywhere now. And it’s normal.

It’s hard to build the home for your soul all on your own. But it’s worth it. It’s so worth it

I love that Paige learnt vocabulary, fairytales, and the rules of chess from Arcturus, and in return taught him sarcasm, pickpocketing, how to make a molotov cocktail, and the various ways to cheat at cards. they are the definition of “I can fix her” boyfriend and “I can make him worse” girlfriend

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! 🌈

To every single person in the LGBTQIA+ community, I am proud of you, you are amazing and you belong here. Pride is for every single letter, not just one or the other.

Even if you’re not out yet, even if you’re fully out, even if you don’t think you’ll ever be out. You deserve to be here, you are loved and you are welcome and deserve to be proud, right along side everyone else.

Let’s not forget that being out and proud is a privilege.

No matter what, I’m proud of you and who you are are, and you are safe here with me.

Happy pride my loves! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Don’t forget, pride is needed because there are still people in our community who think they’re better off dead just because of who they are and existing for loving differently 💛
