🖤 DNI / BEFORE YOU FOLLOW 🖤
I usually don’t talk about being an atheist or my very angry thoughts about Christianity (and religion in general) because I thought I’d be taken too "seriously." But honestly? This is my blog. If I want to be political one minute and completely silly the next, then so fucking be it.
I want this to be a safe space for people to be whatever they want and voice their opinions freely, especially if they live in places where they can't. This is my little corner of the internet to figure out who I am, what I identify as, and who/what I love.
DO NOT follow or interact if you are a Christian who:
Believes LGBTQIAPD+ identities or relationships are a sin.
Pushes complementarianism, purity culture, or traditional gender roles.
Identifies as a Christian conservative, Nationalist, or fundamentalist.
Uses your religion to justify racism, sexism, ableism, or xenophobia.
Blatantly ignores the (many) very real, systemic problems and issues your religion causes.
Plans on using my ask box, reblogs, or comments to debate, preach, or try to convert me.
I'm not even going to lie and pretend I respect you guys. If you hold these harmful beliefs, I think you're pieces of shit who don't get called out enough. Just block me. Pretend we aren't on the same app.
If you are highly devout or your blog is heavily Christian-themed: To be better safe than sorry, let’s just not interact. In real life, I am forced to go to church and attend a Christian school with terrible, rigid teachers. Tumblr is my absolute escapism, and I really don't need reminders of the harsh reality I can't escape from yet. I’ve literally had to silently unfollow mutuals before because they snuck "LGBTQ+ is a sin" into their intros with a passive-aggressive tone. If that's your vibe, save us both the time and stay away.
One of my MOST HATED tropes is Token Diversity, which is basically where minority groups are added in for the sake of adding and usually fall within harmful stereotypes. I think we have all seen it. Black characters that always get the same personality. Autistic people being infantilized. Disabled people always being the victim...
One particular branch of token diversity I hate is when, because a character is from a marginalized group, they are essentially perfect and devoid of flaws, because the writer or creator is scared to portray the group that character is from in a bad light. That sort of sensitivity check is NOT inherently bad (and is of course needed) but it does become an issue when you are ultimately sabotaging the character because of it. I've seen this a lot with queer characters. Queerness is not a character trait, both gender and sexuality. Yes, it is fundamentally a part of a person but it does not dictate what that person will be like personality-wise.
You are allowed to make your villain gay. You are allowed to make your nonbinary mc a not-so-flawless person. You are allowed to give a character a toxic ex or abusive relationships that's of the same sex. Queer people are also humans and like humans, we go through a lot of shit that is not always because of our sexuality or gender. We are always saying that writers are allowed to make unlikeable characters, so that should also extend to queer people and other marginalized groups as well.
Before I thought soulmates had to be romantic, had to be married, be a full blown Disney movie
But...
When I found my people, I felt whole, I felt like kissing them on the cheek in the most platonic but still loving way ever cause to be understood is all I wanted 💖
I see the stuffed bunny in the remains of the house.
Its ears are knotted, fur covered in dirt and ash. I don’t see a brand name so it must be homemade. I take the device out of my pocket and type in the info along with a photo.

Sitting on a nearby bench, I watch the loading screen. I’ve returned over three hundred toys over thirty eras, risking my life in a few of them.
We write because it’s nice to look back and see proof that we existed in that moment. Old drafts are embarrassing, yes, but they are also little fossils of who we were. The jokes we thought were funny. The wounds we kept circling. The tropes we were obsessed with. The sentence we clearly thought was devastating because we used it twelve times. Looking back at old writing is like meeting a younger version of yourself who was trying so hard. Be kind to them.
I just had a brilliant idea that I wish I had thought of earlier.
I SHOULD POST MY STORIES ON INSTAGRAM!!1!!
It honestly feels like a perfect opportunity since I've pivoted to short fiction. I don't know if it should be named "little things matter" or "little stories matter" because the latter is actually also the name of my potential TikTok account and inspired by how little things could point at bigger pictures, like how a little moment could absolutely show how someone in your life sees and/or treats you (I have A LOT of those moments). And it could be a double meaning also since short fiction (like short stories, flash fiction, micro fiction, drabbles and six word stories) are very popular in the writing community and don't nearly have as much content as writing books for obvious reasons.
I could maybe pay for Canva premium and use Pinterest or royalty-free images to make them ✨ aesthetic ✨
Describing clothes can actually matter when clothes reveal strategy. Is the character dressing to disappear? to intimidate? to look richer than they are? to seem effortless after forty minutes of effort? A jacket can be armor. Lipstick can be a warning. Ugly shoes can be financial realism.

I hate how Christians dismiss certain Bible verses like "women aren't allowed to teach in Church" or "you aren't allowed to wear two different clothing" but still wholeheartedly believe that being gay is a sin.
Like, I'm so sorry, they are all written in the same fucking book. Dismiss ALL of them. It's 2026. You can learn friendship from My Little Pony just as well from "love thy neighbor". Please kindly grow tf up.
I feel like if God really didn't make mistakes, people wouldn't be born into bodies or social roles that don't fit who they are. and more than one sexuality would be accepted...
