Have I been sing-screaming, "I'M IN A BAND/I'M IN A BAND" for two days straight now? No. I have been doing it for two days queer.

Happy Pride.

Also, Hayley Williams, please get out of my head.

Write whatever you want. Write that incredibly niche thing that only two other people on earth will get. Write the super indulgent cliche thing that makes you kick your feet giddily. Write the angry rage story that whumps them all and makes people cry.

Whatever it is that YOU want to write. Write it. Because only YOU can.
