“Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” 36 years old, she/her pronouns, asexual

it's so Weird how ppl STILL make fun of the idea of alcohol-free queer spaces just because an asexual teenager suggested it in 2015. it was odd then and it's odd now. Why are you mad at the idea of a coffee shop for queer people. don't answer that i do not gaf

[coconutcows]

I work at a cafe that is overtly queer friendly and it is the most amazing place. Before I started the owners hosted a drag brunch. After I started they hosted a queer prom. My boss wants to host another drag Tea for Halloween. There’s a little dish of pronoun buttons on the counter where you pay that are free to take, my boss makes them herself.

So what I’m saying is that asexual teenager in 2015 was 100% right about queer friendly alcohol free spaces

sometimes pre-ts zoro is just so very Nineteen that it makes me emotional. he's reckless. he's vulnerable. he's never worried about wrecking his body because he's young and strong and he can bounce back. (or maybe it's that he's kind of suicidal.) he's lonely. he laughs at stupid things. he acts older than his friends who are barely younger than him. he completely overestimates his skill level. his guiding philosophy is "fuck it we ball." his sleep schedule is just whatever happens. he has not been held in a long time. he can barely contain the love he feels. he is so so awkward about showing it. he's sure of what he wants. he thinks he's much closer to it than he is. he really really needs a damn hug.

A lot of ppl are reblogging this saying they miss the pre timeskip characterization and he doesn't feel like him anymore he's not silly anymore etc. and what they're noticing is true but I'm not sure it's a writing flaw like everyone seems to think. I think actually Zoro's post timeskip behavior is a very realistic trauma response.

For one bright, shining moment in Zoro's life he wasn't alone. He was surrounded by family and love and laughter. And then he couldn't protect them. Even after wrecking his body in every possible way it wasn't enough. He lost them. Luffy, the man to whom he swore he'd never lose again, nearly died and Zoro wasn't there to help, because he did lose. Helplessly, brutally.

Then he spent the next two years doing nothing but fight and train and wonder if his friends were okay, aware even when he returned that he's still not the strongest fighter out there. That he still might fail and lose them all again if he's not careful. He had basically no social development at all during that time with only Mihawk and Perona to keep him company, both of whom are awkward loners themselves, really. All he had to occupy his mind with was grief, shame, and determination to be stronger.

So yeah he acts tough and stoic and he doesn't laugh as much anymore or goof off in the middle of fights because now he knows the cost. He knows what could be taken from him at any time. He is not going to let his guard down. If keeping his family safe and together means he doesn't get to feel as carefree anymore, he'll choose that in an instant. He will always choose the option where he takes on a burden and carries it as well as he can so that no one else has to.

In short, he's terrified. This is how Zoro acts when he's afraid and refusing to show it. And I don't think his characterization will stay this way forever. I think sooner or later he's going to break.

Women can write m/m. Men can write f/f. Asexuals can write filthy smut. Lesbians and gay men can write m/f. It's all arbitrary anyway. Who give a shit.

listen. i am obviously a leverage ot3 fan and i do think all 3 of them are good for each other in different, distinct ways, However. i do also think hardison deserves a medal for dealing with, quite possibly, the two most emotionally repressed people in the universe

"Scrooge learns the true meaning of Bisexual Awareness Week" Make Some Noise Season 3 Episode 11

[vigilantsycamore]

Concept: one of those standard plots where a magic user and a tech expert are arguing over whose purview the weird thing of the week falls under, but it's the magic user who's insisting this has to be a science thing and the tech expert who's insisting it has to be a magic thing, because they're not arguing over worldview, they're arguing over jurisdiction and neither of them wants to be the one who has to deal with it

"Look, it's a circuitboard. That makes this tech - your territory"

"That 'circuitboard' sure looks like a runic circle to me. Your territory"

"Look, it's an evil lab! That's your circus!"

"Yeah, and there's a demon inside! That's your monkey!"
