all these books but a bitch cant read

19, illiterate, and violently heterophibic

[wylansvaneck]

I’m reading this queer anthology and the first story is a fairytale about a queer Latina girl whose anger was so fierce it literally poisoned the rich white men who unfairly captured the transgender soldier she was in love with and my heart is literally bursting I’m going to cry

[wylansvaneck]

the second story is about two queer girls who leave their husbands-to-be at the altar and flee together on a boat to become pirates IM FUCKING SCREAMING THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF GAY CONTENT I SIGNED UP FOR

[wylansvaneck]

okay this is the anthology and it’s entirely written by queer authors and inspired by the stories of real queer teens in history and it’s the most wholesome and epic thing I’ve read in a long while

now that ao3 as a whole is a hugo nominee and has reminded us all that it is an incredibly well-designed, excellently maintained project with an archival system that is the envy of many librarians etc, it is a great time to remember that:

ao3 is run entirely by volunteers 

there are no ads or monetization at all to bother site users

and also the site works on strict guidelines to prevent us from being sued to bankruptcy etc

we use this amazing site for FREE

server space is EXPENSIVE and ao3 needs A LOT OF IT

the otw (which is the non-profit that runs ao3) spring donation drive is happening right now!

donations to the drive go to ao3 AND other projects run by otw

so if you use ao3 and appreciate all the hard work being done to keep it running, GO DONATE. 

SUPPORT OUR HUGO NOMINATED ARCHIVE THAT ALLOWS US TO SAFELY AND FREELY ENJOY FAN CONTENT.

if you can’t donate, spreading the word, congratulating ao3 on the nomination, and thanking the ao3 volunteers for their hard work would also be lovely!!

my dying body: please…. feed me a vegetable……..

me: lmao i dont think so you vegan sjw piece of shit

[hmmm--unfortunate-blog]

ok full yike not to be that bitch on main but OOF... wow finding out two of your best friends are dating shouldn't make me feel this bad considering i'm not attracted to either of them and yet,, here we are. i feel like it's more just that i feel like a huge third wheel now (emphasis on huge lmao) and also like?? idk i think it's just that i have this overwhelming need to be desired by everyone even though that literally never happens. it's just so easy for her to find people all the time whereas for me it's like all people ever see me as good for is a quick drunk fuck to regret and forget later. and i just don't think i'll ever be able to overcome that unless i somehow lose 30 lbs which is obviously not going to happen. i just want to be considered an option for a relationship or a crush but it feels like at this point i'm just.. nothing. my body has become a war zone of wills and actions which contradict their purpose and nothing i do seems to change that.

[optimistic-atlas]

me: man I really want a cool dystopian science fiction novel, but.. gay.

I just finished flame in the mist and smoke in the sun by renée ahdieh and I am literally obsessed I would die for Mariko in an instant

[grishae]

BOOKS I’VE READ ⁽²⁰¹⁸⁾ ·  flame in the mist, renee ahdieh

“I’ve never been angry to have been born a woman. There have been times I’ve been angry at how the world treats us, but I see being a woman as a challenge I must fight. Like being born under a stormy sky. Some people are lucky enough to be born on a bright summer’s day. Maybe we were born under clouds. No wind. No rain. Just a mountain of clouds we must climb each morning so that we may see the sun.”

[hilokaul]

“We are so much more than what we do!” Mariko drew closer, as if nearness could invoke a sense of truth. “We are…” She searched her mind for the right things to say. “Our thoughts, our memories, our beliefs!”

[tabasco-vasco]

Roque: Imagine if someone handed you a box full of items you lost throughout your life

Cassius: It would be nice to get my sense of purpose back

Darrow: Oh wow, my childhood innocence! Thank you for finding this

Tactus: My will to live! Haven't seen this in fifteen years!

Victra: I knew I lost that potential somewhere!

Sevro: Mental stability, my old friend!

Fitchner: Kids, could you lighten up a little?
