it's been said a million times but i will never get over how toby fox actually attempted to make deltarune shortly after he got the idea for it (from a fever dream, mind you) but then he was like "hm, the scope of this game seems a bit big for my current skills, i think i should make a smaller game as practice" and that smaller game. was fucking undertale

the-supernatural-atheist

like his "oh let me just figure out this whole making a game thing, little rough draft" was one of the most important and well-loved games of the fucking decade . robert "toby" "don't call me radiation" "radiation" fox, small white dog that you are,

#this is why so many game devs will tell you to start small with your games #don’t jump into that huge project on the first go #make something small that you can learn from and get a feel for what game dev is like #just because it’s not your ‘dream game’ doesn’t mean it won’t matter #plus the skills you learn from that smaller game will serve to make your dream project even better #game dev #Undertale #deltarune #reblog

Having a job is an awesome way to stay hydrated because you get so bored you start drinking water just for a little excitement

#seeing this on my break right as I’ve finished drinking my water #this shit is so boring #reblog

Hot take but I really do think that some of y’all need to consider how/why/when/how often you’re making fun of straight people for being straight

I do it too, I’m not going to pretend I don’t make jokes about the hets, or the down with cis bus, or whatever

But I recently befriended a cis, straight dude and I have watched him be dismissed, degraded, and unambiguously insulted for the perceived “crime” of being straight — all in queer environments where he is allegedly “completely welcome” and surrounded by “friends”

This guy is not a toxic person! But I have seen him be made to feel so small and like his comfort and safety in those spaces are conditional on his silence and acceptance of being treated like a human dunk zone, and I think that some of y’all have had so much shit from straight/cis people that the second you feel like you’ve got an inch, you want to luxuriate in the perceived catharsis of bullying someone who— actually —doesn’t deserve it

And until he very, very carefully mentioned to me in private that it makes him feel bad, I didn’t even clock that I was involved in doing that, that it had become so instinctive for me to make casual jokes like that, and that— well meaning or otherwise —I had been contributing to an environment that made someone I really really like feel like shit

So, I dunno, I think maybe some of y’all should think about that too

Coming back to say that while a lot of the responses to this post have been mainly positive, some folks have an attitude that it should be something that my friend— or any cis, straight man —should just be able to get over, because fuck ‘em, that’s why, because they’re in a queer space and they should shut up and accept it, because you suffer as a queer person and they should have to suffer too— regardless of whether or not this specific person has done anything to wrong you

I’m gonna say this point blank— you’re a tar pit if you think this way

Your suffering does not make you special, you are not granted brand new permissions to be belligerent and cruel because you have been treated poorly, straight people aren’t an oppressed class, no, but they’re people who are entitled to the same amount of basic decency that you, yourself, are entitled to

It feels good when you’ve been treated like shit to then go forward and treat other people like shit. That’s what you’re admitting. Does it make you feel good to do harm? Are you proud of that? Are you comfortable with being that kind of person? Because I dunno about the rest of you— but I realized I wasn’t, and it turns out it’s pretty fucking easy to change

This was what happened to me when I was younger, and I feel the need to emphasize that doing this can hurt other queer folks too.

Before I realized I was ace/aro, I was the “token straight” in an old friend group. These “friends” would constantly belittle and poke fun at me for it. At first I thought it was funny and even joked along with it. But over time, I began to realize that I was the only one that the jokes were aimed at. They never poked fun of each other’s sexualities. Only mine. I tried to tell myself that they didn’t mean it in a bad way, but over time as the jokes kept coming, I just kept feeling worse and worse, and their treatment of me got more vitriolic over time. As far as I was ever aware, I had never done anything to cause this change in treatment, aside from just being cis and straight. I was dismissed for it, excluded from hangouts, pretty much everything that OP described above, and it made me feel so othered among people I was formerly pretty close with.

After I left that group, I genuinely hated queer people. I thought that if that was how I was treated among even people I considered my closest friends, then I couldn’t trust any queer folks to not treat me the same way.

And that entire time, I was still queer. I just didn’t know it yet. The way I was treated actively put me off from the idea of exploring myself and the possibility of not being straight, and it genuinely made me homophobic for a while.

I’m not saying you’re evil for making broad jokes. But just be careful with how you treat individual people and how you view them based on gender and sexuality. Whether they’re cis, straight, both, don’t poke fun at them so much. Hell, for all you know, you might be attacking a fellow queer who doesn’t realize they’re queer yet or isn’t out of the closet. Don’t be so damn harsh on people for something they can’t control. If you wouldn’t want it done to you, don’t do it to them.

This June, I need Gen Z queers to understand that some people are closeted.

canichangemyblogname

I am saying this as a Gen Z queer, before y’all get your guns out to fucking shoot me.

But I need y’all to understand that if someone doesn’t give you their government name in a queer space, it’s not because they’re “mysterious,” and you do not have permission to take it upon yourself to figure out their “real identity” and go digging for them online like a private investigator. First, that’s creepy and a violation of privacy and reasonable boundaries. Second, some of us keep our private and professional lives very separate because we need to keep food on the fucking table and a roof over our heads, and our private life could jeopardize that.

“Why won’t you tell me about your parents?” “Why can’t I know your real name?” “Where do you work?”

1.) Not all our parents would bake us a fucking cake when we come out. Some of us are closeted. Surely you understand this? You also do not need to know my parent’s names or occupations; we are both adults. I do not need nor want to mix you and my private life with my parents and my public life.

2.) Trans people do not owe you their dead name or government name

3.) I’m not telling you for the sake of job security. I am a government fucking caseworker working amidst a fucking lavender panic!

“There’s no way you’re a different person outside this; you’re still you at your core. What harm is there—”

No, I am a completely different person. A different person with a different personality and different interests and a different name and presentation. I am a completely different person because I keep this life and my public life private to avoid fracturing 90% of my interpersonal relationships and 100% of my professional ones.

“You’re not out? But you’re so confident.”

See— that’s part of the issue. Y’all assume someone is in the closet because they hate themselves or lack self-identity. Some of us know exactly who we are, but need to prioritize financial stability or else our entire life gets exponentially harder immediately.

canichangemyblogname

You meet queer people over the age of 40 and one of the first/earliest questions is “who knows?”

I need y’all to start bringing that energy. Because it’s not always safe for someone to be out and not everyone is safe to be out around.

There is a misnomer that “the closet” inherently means “doesn’t know they’re queer” and not “isn’t out widely and publicly.” “Outness” is often a patchwork.
