also b/c i just had to wrangle the tumblr color coding fuckery, note to future us (n ig anybody else struggling)

you cannot just copy n paste the example code from that one post abt it. the thing w/

<span style=“color:#[insert hex code here]”>

you just. can’t. for fuck knows whatever awful reason it just doesn’t work

you gotta edit it n manually redo the quotation marks??

idk if it's a problem w/ the original text or if it's a weird glitch from copying n pasting but it's gotta be

<span style="color:#[insert hex code here]">

if your first instinct after someone tells you about their disability is to respond with "no, you're faking" then congratulations, you need to work on your ableism. don't do that.

if your first instinct after seeing someone being even relatively open about and proud of their disability is to tell them they're glorifying, fetishizing, and faking, congratulations, you need to work on your ableism. don't fucking do that.

this kind of thing doesn't help disabled people. it only hurts us.

fun fact: giving someone shit for headcanoning characters as ace or demi is aphobia.

calling ace or demi headcanons “infantilization” or “fetishization” is also aphobia.

for fuck’s sake. it’s 2019. it’s pride month. get your shit together. basic human decency isn’t that hard of a concept to grasp. try to think, for just one fucking second, about how fiction effects reality.

calling a minority’s existence shit like infantilization or fetishization isn’t fucking okay, thanks.

i’m gonna stab my dysphoria

who’s with me

in 20gayteen we literally just fucking stab our dysphoria and that’s just how it is

I left a server that was changing a lot where I was unwanted by a decent amount of people, even if some still wanted me there, and where I was primarily ignored (wow, that sounds pretty fuckin’ familiar), and my main server is now a much more welcoming and nice one—like, whoa, if I send art or a selfie or even say ‘owo’ then I get a response unless no one’s online?? This is a new and great thing?? And it’s unexpectedly easy to make this kind of a change, tbh, probably because I’ve done it before.

I’m significantly happier now, it’s great. God, I love finally feeling supported and wanted.

today... I have seen things on this terrifying website that I will never unsee. also, I'm half asleep, so I'll probably forget by tomorrow, when I see something equally disturbing.

mild vent post, i'm mostly just mad. trusting our followers to be normal abt this, if someone makes me regret it i'm gonna go fucking feral.

obligatory "h*talia is a blight upon humanity n i wish it didn't exist" or w/e in case someone who doesn't know our opinion on it yet sees this but. GODS i fucking hate seeing the "is it inherently bad for hws fictives to exist" type discourse. like even when they don't outright say it b/c they know better you can fucking tell these people don't know how plurality works and don't see us as people w/ basic rights. a fictionkin related blog we've been following for a while that always felt friendly n safe to hws fictives n kin in the past suddenly got a huge influx of that shit n like. fuck man. i hate to admit it b/c it feels like i'm being overdramatic but gdi i think i got literal flashbacks from this shit. like it's practically socially acceptable to suibait hws fictives n hws kin, existing openly is genuinely fucking terrifying for us, n it doesn't help that our abusive ex friends literally wanted us to prioritize their mild discomfort w/ me existing over me being able to do my fucking job of making sure we don't die. idk what the hell it is that makes a switch go off in ppl's brains n makes them stop seeing us as people but fuck there's clearly something n it's so fucking scary to see it happening in places we thought were safe - @genderfluid-rolal
