the death of fëanor
can we like…get rid of the so-called leather and rubber “pride flags” ? it’s honestly ridiculous and offensive to the lgbtq community. those aren’t pride flags.
The leather pride flag is the second oldest pride flag. It has been at almost every single US pride parade and protest in history.
It’s older then you are, it’s older then I am. The leather community is responsible for pride. Leather daddies were the ones chasing away cops when they tried to arrest us for being queer in public back when Pride Parades were illegal in the US. They are still the ones chasing away cops and corporations from smaller pride events and those that aren’t sanctioned by Wells Fargo. The leather community is essential to the queer community and has a long and rich history.
Please fuck off if you’re not going to learn the actual history of pride.
And don’t fucking out your hate in our tags, asshole.
The leather pride flag represents an expression of self which is inherently queer, and a community which has been around for generations. It is not offensive to the LGBT+ community in any way. I have seen cis gay and bisexual men standing shoulder-to-shoulder with trans men, all of them united by their leather community roots. The leather community is more diverse and nuanced than you perhaps know, but that is no reason for you to shit on a community you don’t understand.
Here is a photograph from 1998, displaying the leather pride flag, the bear gay pride flag, and the rainbow flag. This is our history.

Here is a photograph from 1987: three queer women entering into the Ms. National Leather Association Contest, or simply gathering as spectators.

A photograph from 1988: Tony Deblase, the creator of the leather pride flag, and a gay man, embracing a fellow member of the leather community. Over his shoulder is Judy Tallwing McCarthy, a Native American woman who was part of the leather community from 1959. She co-founded the first lesbian BDSM group in Portland, along with her partner, Sashie Hyatt.

Just because you don’t know the history, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Be humble, and always assume you have more to learn. Hatred, and outright dismissal of communities you know nothing about, is the most aggressively anti-LGBT thing I can imagine.
The leather community has always included trans people, lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals. The leather community is global and nuanced. The leather community is where many of us encounter our found families, and our lovers. For you to dismiss that is cold-hearted and ignorant. Just because queer sex is involved, doesn’t make the community dirty or bad.
I’m again fucking begging the baby gays to read/watch/listen to How To Survive A Plague.
Do you have any. Any idea. Any god damn clue. How kink intersects with LGBT and queer community. Queer history. Do you know why the community pushed for, and against, closing the bathhouses during the 80s? Do you know who organized awareness campaigns about HIV, even way back when it was still called GIRD. Do you know who created the safe sex pamphlets, the classes, who pushed for disclosing your health history to partners, who distributed contraceptives and condoms and dental dams at parties and meetings and baths? Do you even know where the safe sex education we have now comes from? Do you know where a bulk of the language about consent came from? Do you have any good god damn idea what the kink communities have done for us, and continue to do for us?
Keep their names out of your mouths because you clearly don’t know what the hell you’re talking about
If there is one thing I could say to young queer folks, especially young queer folks in the U.S. who are coming of age in a world that is more accepting than the one I knew growing up, it’s this:
Don’t be so quick to sanitize your queerness and make it corporate pride daytime TV-friendly. Don’t be so quick to jump on the purity bandwagon. Don’t be so quick to speak on what your community should look like before you’ve actually learned the history of your community, and always be aware that there are things you probably don’t yet know.
These things will not protect you. They never have. And all you’re doing is isolating yourself from community, from support, from the strength we all have when we stand together in a world that would gladly pick us off one by one.
Queerness isn’t as hidden or embattled now (in some places) as it once was, but make no mistake: when our existence was illegal everywhere the people you have this knee-jerk “hide the weirdos” reaction to are the very ones who would’ve had your back against the cops and the gay-bashers.
The people who made me feel safe to come out in my 20s flew the rubber and leather flags alongside the rainbow flag and often the trans flag as well. You don’t get to tell any of them they don’t belong anymore just because you don’t understand.
Rip this from my cold, dead hands
I always want to be clear when reblogging this that OP no longer holds this opinion.

“Again therefor in his pain Maedhros begged that he would slay him; but Fingon cut off his hand above the wrist, and Thorondor bore them back to Mithrim.”
Silmarillion – Of the Return of the Noldor
…idril the king’s daughter, who sat beside him; for she was as golden as the vanyar, her mother’s kindred, and she seemed to him as the sun from which all the king’s hall drew it’s light. (the silmarillion, pg 131)
…and with idril celebrindal he set sail into the sunset and the west, and came no more into any tale or song. (the silmarillion, pg 253)

This project was inspired by @sindar-princeling's lotr newsletter, and so is dedicated to them! as a thank you :) The newsletter was a really fun and meaningful experience and a great way to experience one of my favorite stories ever
It's kind of long so i'm putting it beneath a cut, and its kind of ugly, in a charming way, because i made it in canva
Just a reminder my blog is trans inclusive. It’s bi inclusive. It is pan inclusive. It is intersex inclusive. It is ace/asexual inclusive. It is aro/aromantic inclusive. It is queer inclusive.
I don’t support terfs or exclusionists.
If you came here looking for an ally in your bigotry you came to the wrong blog. Go away. You are not welcome here.
ok RINGS OF POWER RANT/VENT TIME
i’m on tolkien twitter and you know you’ve fucked up as showrunners when celebrimbor fans are literally clinging to individual frames of the same few shots of charles edwards just to have something different to look at. because all of celebrimbor’s story beats have been given to OTHER CHARACTERS. getting seduced/deceived by sauron? given to galadriel. befriending dwarves? given to elrond.
and before you say “but it’ll happen in season 2!” there are 8 episodes. if the leaks of the destroyed eregion set are evident of anything, there is a significant chance that they are planning on killing off celebrimbor in season 2. 8 episodes left. 8 episodes that will also be stuffed with OTHER plotlines they set up. how is that enough?
and no i’m not accepting the recasting as an excuse anymore. if this is gonna be jeff bezos’s self-aggrandizing pet project, he has literally infinite money, the production could be delayed if they cared about telling celebrimbor’s story. but they don’t.
they had letters, props, ideas they had planned to use and didn’t. because they decided inventing a story of galadriel being seduced and deceived by sauron was higher priority than telling the story of celebrimbor that tolkien wrote, and more importantly, that FANS WANTED TO SEE
celebrimbor is such a beloved character, and literally the ENTIRE REASON that the rings of power even exist! the events of LotR wouldn’t have happened without him! and YET. it’s somehow acceptable to treat him as a side character in his own story???
to make this even worse, i have literally seen people on tolkien twitter claim that celebrimbor “isn’t important”. the elf who made the rings of power. not important. when the show is LITERALLY CALLED “RINGS OF POWER”
i’m probably checking out emotionally after s2. celebrimbor is my favorite character and it’s really sad how little the showrunners and writers actually care. here’s hoping the russians decide to take on the second age and give celebrimbor a rock opera adaptation like he deserves.
