Harley Has Thoughts About Everything

they/he/she (not necessary in that order), genderfluid bitch, aggressively aroace, progressive christian, perpetually in a state of casual panic

Hey guys? R.J. Palacio's Wonder isn't very good.

[harleyfallsanddrownsinshadows]

Someone I never told my pronouns/gender identity to made a typo and put "he" instead of "she" and the wave of gender euphoria I got was amazing

I'm high off it now it's the simple things I guess

[harleyfallsanddrownsinshadows]

I came to the realization that I was gender fluid a while ago, and I discovered that self-advocacy is incredibly difficult for me. It's hard for me to go, "Actually, it's they" or "Actually, it's he" when I identify with those gender identities at the moment but am so visually femme. I've been using they/them as a catch-all because I found it was easier to say that instead of stumbling through the explanation that one day I might feel like one gender and the next day I might feel like another.

In short, gender is hard to advocate for

I've started assembling @wearewatcher's The Professor as a Christmas gift for my sister. The Professor's version from a separate universe, perhaps. And one day, all the versions will come together and war to see who is the most ruthless, bloodthirsty Professor of all. And I solemnly believe that my semi-finished puppet will come out victorious. Of course I'm not biased.

[harleyfallsanddrownsinshadows]

The more I think about possibly being aromantic the more right it feels... Is it wrong to say that I'm scared? I guess it's because I've always imagined being married to a romantic partner as a natural progression of life (hello societal standards) and to remove that kind of love from my envisioned future feels sort of like I have to rewrite what I plan to be in life. I'm not sure if this is rational in any sense, but that's what's been bouncing around my brain for the past few days...

tumblr is surprisingly an adequate place to vent lol

I Might Be Aromantic

not quite sure how to navigate figuring that out for myself, but wish me luck as i move towards building relationships that make me comfortable.

godspeed to you as well

i refuse to go back to the void: tv show moments of squealing happiness

I almost forgot lol

But it's exactly 10:30 pm here on the sixteenth, and I shall do my duty to clog up your screens once more

My favorite LGBTQ+ TV moment is probably just... all Willex scenes in Julie and the Phantoms. I know that they're technically not together, but come on. It's adorable.

ShareYourPride rebirthed because I disappeared

So I did like two days before disappearing into a void called ✨school✨ But that's all over, so I'm back!

I'm not going to do all of the days I've missed because that's... a lot. However, I'll do today (the 15th) and also a few select ones that stood out to me.

My favorite LGBTQ+ ships have to be Nico+Will (Percy Jackson lore), Alex+Magnus (Magnus Chase lore, can you tell I'm a fan of Riordan lol), Alex+Willie (Julie and the Phantoms, please make a season two I need more Willex moments in my life), Sara+Ava (DC Legends of Tomorrow), Pamela+Mopsa (Head Over Heels), and just so much more... I love love, y'all

My favorite LGBTQ+ cliché is the classic "bi's can't sit right." Send help for my spine.

I didn't even know that I wasn't straight during 2016. I wasn't quite aware of what "gay" meant and I wasn't caught up on current events. As a budding queer, I have been studying up the histories of LGBTQ+, and Pulse really strikes me. It was targeted, rooted in hatred, and so many people died. I stand with the community as we grieve, remember, and grow. I cannot say much on it because I was ignorant and unaware for most of my life, but if you will have me, I am with you.

[harleyfallsanddrownsinshadows]

ShareYourPride + an unnecessary update lol

Tests suck.

My brain's so so tired and I'm ready to crash at any moment.

Tumblr does a lot of... interesting things but today's prompt something that I sorely needed.

Day 2 is to share something that makes you happy.

Something that makes me happy is the laughter in others. I know it's such a cheesy or cliché thing to say, but seeing others happy genuinely fills me with joy.

Remember, pride is for you no matter what situation you're in. So keep fighting, I love you.

[harleyfallsanddrownsinshadows]

ShareYourPride

I decided to join the #ShareYourPride challenge on the only platform I'm out on (cries in homophobic family). But hey. Pride is for us as well. Even if we aren't wrapped in rainbows irl or even in the privacy of our internet, you are still 100% valid and I love you very much.

Day 1 is my pronouns and flag. I'm still in the process of figuring this out, but for now, my pronouns are she/her and I am a biromantic asexual.

I love you, keep smiling, you are so so so worth it!

[harleyfallsanddrownsinshadows]

So...uh...update. Still can't come out to my parents, so this is somewhat of an attempt to alleviate my mental wellbeing. We're still figuring things out here in Harley-town, but as of now, I think I am Bi-romantic Asexual.

[harleyfallsanddrownsinshadows]

Do you ever just...stop watching a movie/show or reading a book because the second-hand embarrassment's too much?

I ask this and then wonder why it takes me forever to finish things lol

[harleyfallsanddrownsinshadows]

How do you make your parents less homophobic lol

April 24, 2021, Saturday

So, I need to talk right now. Because while many people are calling this 'just a joke', which it's not fucking funny in the first damn place, there are people who are trying to make this a thing.

Warning: Mentions of r@pe, @ss@ult, and h@r@ssment below the cut.

Now, if you haven't heard, which I'm sure most of you have but just in case, there are people trying to declare April 24, national r@pe day.

Most people are trying to play it off as a joke. Which if you are one of those people, you are fucking disgusting. Even thinking about using r@pe as a joke shows how big of a piece of shit you are, complete scum.

However, there are people, who are trying to get it to be an actual day, an actual thing they want to participate in.

I was @ss@ulted as a child and all through my life I have been h@rr@ssed, followed, and threatened with r@pe by grown ass men because I wouldn't give into their desires. I don't know what these men will do with the idea of this day happening.

So please, please be safe. EVERYONE, anyone of any gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, please be safe.

If you can, please stay home. If you have to go out, please do not go alone and keep something on you to defend yourself with. MAKE SURE YOU COMMUNICATE TO THOSE YOU CAN TRUST WHERE YOU ARE.

Period Products should be free. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

TW: SA

I don’t care if it was a “joke”.

I don’t care if it’s “just internet trolls”

All it takes is one “joke” to validate dangerous people and help them think this shit is okay. Internet “trolls” are going to harm real people because there will be people who see this as an opportunity and it’s considered funny and acceptable to them. These “jokes” are never funny and it shouldn’t be joked about at all.

Please stay safe and look after each other. It’s better to be cautious and have nothing happen than to brush it off and be wrong.

TW ⚠️ - r@pe

I’m not sure if anyone on here has heard about it but April 24th is supposed to be “National r@pe day”. A group of boys on tiktok started it and stated that it was only a dark humor joke but now people are actually standing behind the idea and say they are going to participate. I know people will say that it’s “just a joke” and no ones going to actually do it but unfortunately that’s not always the case.

Please be careful!! If you go out please travel in groups and watch everyone around you! I didn’t post this to scare anyone but I just want to make sure that you’re aware of this “joke” going around and want you to stay safe! Also rape is not a joke.
