What This Blog is All About:
Hi, I'm Tayber! Writer, editor, and fandom old-ish. I value kindness, effort, nuance, good faith takes, and taking opportunities for growth.
I spend a lot of time examining writing, queerness, storytelling, censorship, purity culture, the closet, community-building, and fandom. I'm deeply interested in the way that these things intersect, and the role that censorship and morality policing play in oppression.
You can expect to see me reveling in a wide range of film, art, books, video games, poetry, meta, fanfiction, and fanart. I love all forms of storytelling & expression, across all mediums and genres. I don't just read things — I like to read into them.

My own posts, my fanfic & writing projects, and posts that I made direct additions to. I also make annotations in the tags a lot.
Favorites & Tag Navigation below the cut!
💕It's About the Love — Exploring the way creative passions let us explore human connection & community
✍️On Writing & Write Whatever You Want Forever — Talking shop about stories, writing, editing, and freedom of expression. Also my collection on Diversity & Sensitivity for Writers.
🌈Queer Topics — Queer Solidarity & Inclusivity are vital. Thinking a lot lately about the closet as both shelter & prison.
🚫On Censorship & Purity Culture Bullshit — Discussing, understanding, and resisting censorship, deconstructing purity culture, and examining the roles each plays in oppression.
🤝there's some good in this world and it's worth fighting for — On activism & societal problems.

I do not reblog individuals' requests for financial donations.
🧿Feel Good Today — Emotional palate cleanser tag. This is mostly for me, but go here if you could do with some gentleness or reassurance. <3
