“it’s weird for queer minors to be friends with queer adults” oh my god. ohhh my god.
intergenerational community support, especially in a community that is split so much age wise as the queer community, is immensely fucking important. get to know older queers and younger queers. this is how communities frazzle out and die to infighting.
the hypothetical queer adult that people are mad over in the post this is refrencing is 35 years old. only 35.
its weird for any minors to be friends with any adults, queer or not. There should be no reason why unrelated adults or minors should be making close relationships in any sense outside of professional ones. I understand wanting education, but they can be taught when they are adults as well.
is this a joke.
That commenter seems to forget that children are human beings too
Has this person never been involved in hobbies or politics or religion or the arts or any environment that normal people interact in?
I think part of the problem is thinking there’s only one kind of friendship. The friendship I form with a kid is going to look different than a friendship I have with someone my own age or friendship with someone significantly older than me. But that doesn’t mean it’s not friendship. I mean, being kind to each other, talking about similar interests, giving each other support and advice when needed— these are good things, and there may be another type of relationship you could term this, but I think friendship works just as well.
Unless you’re the type of person who thinks that friends will inevitably take advantage of each other, or that a friendship always has potential to turn into a relationship. Because those are the circumstances where you would need to watch out with an adult becoming friends with a kid.  But just because those bad apples exist, doesn’t mean you should cut down all the apple trees. 
I think they’re the type of person who thinks all adults are looking to take (sexual) advantage of any person younger than they are, and can literally not fathom the concept of a community made up of people across all ages interacting with each other as being healthy, despite that being the standard way of living throughout pretty much all cultures throughout all of history. They’re really going to have problems when they eventually graduate into the working world and have no idea how to socialize with most of the people around them.
Never mind that, you know, if a queer kid's parents kick them out for being queer, it's probably good if they have SOME other safe adults in their lives who might have, like, a couch they can crash on?
My adult friends were the ones who took me out to lunch when my dad died and told me they’d been there too, and what it was like. They mentored me in math and volunteer work and my job. One drove me to synagogue every week and added me to her family plan. They have life experience that no one my age could dream about—my tap teacher was even in the original Broadway cast of Hello, Dolly! I absolutely love my friends who are my age, but they’ve never asked me to help them name a hurricane.
I’ve only felt unsafe with adults a few times in my life, and I could see the danger signs BECAUSE I had much experience with good adults. Having adult friends throughout my childhood helped me learn how to be a good adult, too.
Knowing different kinds of people helps you grow and understand who you want to be. If I didn’t have so many good influences from my (adult) friends, I might have turned out a very different person. I’m forever grateful to them.
fuck it shout out to all the adults- my friends parents, my teachers- who like to hear about whats going on in my life, give me a hug when they see me cry, listen to my infodumps about my podcasts, literally everyone who helped me survive that time shortly after i came out to my parents. i might not have fucking made it without them and i wouldnt hesitate to call them my friends.
All children should absolutely have adult friends. Teens need adult friends to learn how to become adults. Teens should join a sewing group with old ladies or a science forum full of professional scientists or an environmental group or a queer club or SOMETHING. Befriend the adults at the coffee shop they work at part time. Make friends with the neighbours. Whatever. A teen who only knows adults as parents, bosses and teachers is in a very bad social situation.

nothing sluttier than lighting up a cigarette immediately after an absolutely brutal fight and inhaling deeply before exhaling the smoke with a sigh of relief while still disheveled and covered in blood and coming down from the adrenaline high. you could literally have sex onscreen and it would be less erotic.
and getting someone else to light the cigarette for you because you're too badly injured/exhausted to do it yourself... that's gay sex baby
Community copies!
Hey remember chymus the game we have mentioned once or twice maybe?
Did you want to play it but the economy was on fire? Don't worry! There are now community copies! Go nuts!

Hopefully soon yes! We're just figuring out to set it up and then we'll implement charity!

Update- we figured it out!

“denied the catharsis of punishment” is an underappreciated but hugely effective narrative consequence imo
#it’s so tasty and it comes in so many flavors#does the character self-loathe and feel anguished by what others intended as an act of forgiveness and grace?#does the character know they need to change but sort of madly wish they could trade the unceasing exhausting improvement journey#for a flash bang of slate-clearing repentance so they don’t have to *think* about it anymore?#is is a creeping horror as the character realizes no one is going to punish them because everyone else still thinks what they did was okay?#does the character have to live the rest of their life just feeling ever so slightly untrusted by everyone with no way to stop it?#sorry for leaving pretentious tags on tumblr dot com it will happen again

bishop takes queen
I’m all for going about queerness with the goal of not being able to be understood by outsiders but like. you’ve GOT to be normal about aro & ace people if you do. you can’t go on about being confusing to cishets for fun and then complain about ace & aro people who go about sex and romance and attraction in ways that don’t make sense to you.
supporting queerness that confuses others should include queerness that confuses YOU too even if you’re queer yourself.
OBSESSED with this party dynamic
every word out of guillermo del toro’s mouth is the most hardcore thing i’ve ever heard and he says it all so casually like he doesn’t even realize how much of a gothic visionary he is
“Since childhood, I’ve been faithful to monsters. I have been saved and absolved by them, because monsters, I believe, are patron saints of our blissful imperfection, and they allow and embody the possibility of failing”
I STILL THINK ABOUT THIS EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE
Yo okie Guillermo has some of the best quotes and lines I’ve ever heard, here are just a few of his quotes that have me questioning life:
“What is a ghost? A tragedy condemned to repeat itself time and again? A moment of pain, perhaps. Something dead which still seems to be alive. An emotion suspended in time. Like a blurred photograph. Like an insect trapped in amber.”
“I knew that monsters were far more gentle and more desirable than the monsters living inside ‘nice people.’ Accepting that you are a monster gives you the leeway to not behave like one. When you deny being a monster, you behave like one.”
“When you see something or experience something extraordinary, you can’t go back to normal… I think that that’s the way I see the supernatural-as happening in mundane circumstances or to people who are unprepared”
“To learn what we fear is to learn who we are. Horror defines our boundaries and illuminates our souls”
“Any legend, any creature, any symbol we ever stumble on, already exists in a vast cosmic reservoir where archetypes wait. Shapes looming outside our Platonic cave. We naturally believe ourselves clever and wise, so advanced, and those who came before us so naïve and simple…when all we truly do is echo the order of the universe, as it guides us…”
And the last but certainly not the least:
“In fairy tales, monsters exist to be a manifestation of something that we need to understand, not only a problem we need to overcome, but also they need to represent, much like angels represent the beautiful, pure, eternal side of the human spirit, monsters need to represent a more tangible, more mortal side of being human: aging, decay, darkness and so forth. And I believe that monsters originally, when we were cavemen and you know, sitting around a fire, we needed to explain the birth of the sun and the death of the moon and the phases of the moon and rain and thunder. And we invented creatures that made sense of the world: a serpent that ate the sun, a creature that ate the moon, a man in the moon living there, things like that. And as we became more and more sophisticated and created sort of a social structure, the real enigmas started not to be outside. The rain and the thunder were logical now. But the real enigmas became social. All those impulses that we were repressing: cannibalism, murder, these things needed an explanation. The sex drive, the need to hunt, the need to kill, these things then became personified in monsters. Werewolves, vampires, ogres, this and that. I feel that monsters are here in our world to help us understand it. They are an essential part of a fable.”

Okokok here's a question. This is NOT to start any fighting or discourse. Don't even fucking THINK about touching this post if you're trying to start shit. That being said:
Are you butch?
Yes, I identify as transmasculine and butch
Yes, I identify as transfeminine and butch
Yes, I identify as intersex and butch
Yes, I identify as butch/stone butch/just butch as my identity and nothing else
Yes, I identify as butch and outside the binary, "in-between", genderfuck, etc.
Yes, I identify as cis and butch (TERFs don't fucking touch)
No, I don't identify as butch
Responding to some tags because y'all are wonderful and this has sparked a lot of interesting discussion (sorry for some fucky cropping)
TRANSFEM BUTCHES ARE SO UNDERREPRESENTED I love you transfem butches I'm so glad that this poll has come to your attention. Tbh I feel like half the people in the community forget that transfems butches exist and that makes me so upset. Y'all deserve the entire world.
Literally so true gay man butches are absolutely encouraged to vote in this poll it's not lesbian exclusive, just butch
Also so true. Only YOU can decide whether or not you're butch and to impose butchness on transfeminine people especially who don't identify with it can result in transphobia and misogyny, 100%
And that's ok! You don't have to fully understand your feelings, you have no obligation to do that. However you might be interested in looking into the concept of soft butchness, or even butchness that factors into genderfluidity :) Butchness exists on a spectrum like a lot of other things, and you're free to experiment with that.
Afhakhflskf I will say a surprising amount of non-butches have reblogged this post being very supportive or with good insight BUT I KINDA ASSUMED THAT WOULD HAPPEN TBH... Like if you're gonna vote in the fucking Butch Olympics as a non-butch at least spread the damn post around 😔🙏
getting good at fighting games is like repeatedly hitting yourself in the penis with a wooden mallet until you can understand the speed and weight of the mallet. then you start hitting other people in the penis with the wooden mallet
