What's next to come?
Hello everyone, I felt like I wanted to tell y'all what is the progress road I have for this blog now that GSaS is over, I have several projects being slowly worked parallel to each other, that means for any finished product/project to become public, it will take a lot of time, but I can leave a small teaser for the roadmap I have planned: Timeless: Majestic Garden (Comic): 3% Hope: Lost (Roblox Game): 26% Timeless: Minds of The Lost Garden: (Comic and Roblox Game): 3% and 0% Timeless: Infinite Intervals Between Reality (Comic and Roblox Game): 3% and 0% Graveyard's Journal to Life and Death (GSaS Non-Halloween Universe): 2% Tetrinomania (Roblox Game in collaboration with friends): 1% BloodStone (Standalone Game): 8% GSaS Second Story: 5% (The comic will be worked only during october and possibly november worst case scenario.)
As always, thanks everyone for staying on tune with the stuff I've been making, I really appreciate it! I'm not gonna be posting another roadmap until I have at least one project finished.
I point out the shittyness of the whole “Anti GSA/Queer theory” stance NOT because I believe that GSAs are some sort of “”mogai libqueer heaven”” bc 1) It is completely false because most people who arent neck deep into tumblr’s social justice stuff wont have much idea about “mogai” identities considering how many people STILL are confused about the actual meaning of basic LGBT acronym identity like bisexual,trans etc etc and 2)Many many GSAs DONT consider ace/aro people a part of the lgbtqa community too as seen from the abundant messages from ace/aro people we have received on this blog about that matter
Im pointing out how toxic the whole “Dont go to your local GSAs/lgbtqa communities/lgbtqa cafes bc they are full of mogai libqueers who will prioritize mogai libqueers over real lgbt people” rhetoric is for lgbtqa people bc I recognize how important it is for queer people to have some real life lgbtqa community building experiences as well as ties which is what these popular bloggers are against because they want to isolate(mostly) young ,vulnerable and/or questioning people and to make them grow in accordance to their ideologies and beliefs. Thats literally the BASIS of most popular lgbtqa bloggers popularity here.
For many many lgbtqa teens, their school’s GSAs are the only place where they can safely hang out with other lgbtqa people and learn more about their identity and establish a queer support system with other queer people
For many young university going people who came from highly conservative and bigoted places and finally have a freedom to be themselves away from their bigoted peers, their uni’s GSAs and queer theory courses are the only way and opportunity for them to safely hang out around other lgbtqa people and gain more knowledge about queer issues bc other lgbtqa centered spaces are too far away, inaccessible, require money to enter etc.
I remember reading a post from a bi girl here who got kicked out of her rented house bc the homophobic land lord found out that she had a gf and one of the people of her college GSA let her share their flat with her for months till she found another home l. The same GSA also helped to crowdfund around 40% of the lease for her new flat.
Lgbtqa people have alot of people wanting to harm them in real life and popular discourse bloggers who probably dont even know each of their followers personally really arent going to be of any help bc they might be living thousands and hundreds of miles away from many of their followers. This has to be kept in mind both by those popular discourse bloggers as well as their followers whenever those bloggers decide to mock and shit on irl lgbtqa community spaces and encourage their followers to do the same just bc some GSAs dont share the same online discourse opinions as them. If these people really cared about GSAs being a “bad influence” for young queer people and prioritizing “mogai libqueers” then they would try to fix it starting from their own local GSAs but they NEVER do. All they do is make 54 versions of the same stupid and fake jokes about GSAs.
TLDR, dont trust any popular blogger here who might try to discourage you from seeking out information and community on your own aside from what they consider “acceptable”. Just bc some popular discourse blogger here has alot of followers worshipping them doemean they are a good person

Speaking with a Postmedia editorial board in Calgary on Tuesday, Kenney was asked about Bill 10 and whether parents should be notified if their child joins a GSA at school.
Jason Kenney, the leader of Alberta’s Progressive Conservative Party in Canada, told media last week that he thinks parents should be notified if their student joins a gay-straight alliance at school. In other words: he’s advocating for outing kids to their parents.
His comment was in response to a question about Bill 10, which says that schools must allow a GSA to form if students want one. He says he’s not going to repeal the bill, but his comments are still problematic.
“I have said that I would not repeal Bill 10, if that’s what you’re asking me. And I do, however, think that parents have a right to know what’s going on with their kids in the schools unless the parents are abusive.
When asked outright if he thinks parents should be told if a student wants to join a GSA, he offered an example.
“A mother approached me in January after a public town hall. She was quite distraught, and she told me that her 12-year-old autistic daughter had been put into counselling and referred to as a boy, given a boy’s name in school. But none of this information had been shared with the parents. So, for months, the child was being treated as a boy in school and as a girl at home, creating even more problems, confusion and tension.”
“I think generally speaking, parents have a right to know what their kids are doing in school,” Kenney continued. “If there’s evidence that the parents are abusive, then they shouldn’t’ be involved.”
GSAs are supposed to be safe spaces where students can show up as whoever they are, and for those with unsupportive home lives, it may be the only place where they can be their true selves. Kenney says he wouldn’t involve parents if they were abusive, but there are lots of ways parents can be hostile to their LGBTQ kids without it being formally recognized as abuse. This is truly awful.
LGBTQ students deserve leadership opportunities in clubs like GSAs. Tell us about your experience as a student leader! www.glsen.org/myschoolstory
