I Unfortunately Wasn’t Able To Go To Bigger With Izzy And Brennan. But, Luckily, My Girlfriend Did

My friend once said that “you have to be both gay and mentally ill to understand Siken. You can’t just be one or the other. You have to be both.” But I think writing is universal. The whole point is to convey the experiences of others and ourselves in a way that people who haven’t had those experiences can understand. But yet, I haven’t met someone who isn’t gay and mentally ill who likes Siken. Maybe I just don’t meet many people who aren’t gay and mentally ill. Maybe we try to find reasons that it’s better to feel the way we do. Like maybe I’m depressed but I can understand Siken. It’s some kind of solace.

What is “understanding” poetry anyway?

I did mostly have nightmares last night but I also dreamt of a Psych - Leverage crossover where they were also Scooby Doo. They were chasing various mythical monsters through the suburbs. I cannot tell you how it ended because I woke up. Shawn was Freddie

Reblog to have something lgbt happen to you this summer

Can’t wait for the most chaotic cast members to be placed in a room together with the most unhinged Brennan there has ever been to make an extremely improvised season of D20. Definitely nothing weird is gonna happen

I'm like a girl who wants to read more books but doesn't

I was watching the corn cuties fight earlier today and going from that where they can’t get on tables, have 16 health, and like a plus 6 to hit, to now where Fabian does over 100 damage in one turn was crazy.

Even the players themselves. Ally was asking which die they should roll to now knowing which spells to cast based on range and concentration. Knowing they should cast death ward on the proctor. Absolutely insane growth

Every episode I think “surely, things will get better. Surely, they—at the very least—cannot get worse.” Every episode I am somehow proven incorrect

Identity is complicated, especially in the world we live in. Every time you try to make a generalization, it will fail.

"queer spaces are for everyone but cis men! safe spaces include everyone but cis men!"

okay

that will require stealth trans men to out themselves in order to receive help

that will require closeted trans women to out themselves in order to receive help

that will require nonbinary people who don't ""look nonbinary"" because they look too masculine to out themselves in order to receive help

it will also alienate transfems & trans people who were AMAB who haven't realized they're trans yet from spaces that could provide them a safe place to explore gender & sexuality and be introduced to the idea of being trans

trans people are eventually going to get uncomfortable with your hatred for cis men, because people who were AMAB are gonna wonder if you secretly hate them for being "actually men" and trans mascs are gonna wonder if you hate them for being men at all

people attracted to cis men are going to feel uncomfortable when they try and bring up their love for men including cis men or bring their cis boyfriends/partners/friends to your spaces

there are cis queer men & queer men who blur the lines between cis and trans and they have just as much a right to queer spaces as you do

^ intersex men also exist including intersex cis men

there is never going to be a group of people who it is alright to blindly hate just because of circumstances of their birth or identity and every time you try you are going to end up hurting people. embrace compassion and nuance

My professor telling me that she knows John Green from his first time on Tumblr was not on my 2024 bingo card

with the context of this ep and learning about ankarna's old domain and sol (or his follower)'s potential involvement. hey remember this conversation from freshman year.

Daybreak: My understanding of God is this. When I think about people that aren't like me, I get so mad and it feels like there's a sun inside me that's burning my insides, right? And, you know, whether Sol says do something or don't do something, I believe in him, so I'd rather believe in him and not do what he said, than do what he said and not believe in him. Does that make sense? Kristen: Yeah. Daybreak: Just be mad, okay? I'm just gonna try and boil it down. Kristen: Okay. Daybreak: Just be mad.
