told my girlfriend that if she proposes i want a secondhand wedding ring. i explained i don't want to contribute to a vanity-based industry like diamond mining, and that it would be important to me to continue marriage traditions in a way that causes minimal environmental and personal harm. she asked me if i was just trying to roll the dice on obtaining a haunted object, and i told her i can want two things.

“We’re Therians, but don’t worry, we know we’re no ACTUAL animals…”
“We’re Otherkin, but we don’t REALLY believe we’re not human, that would be so crazy!”
Statements like these are making me cringe and sigh in annoyance. These are seeking validation from outside of the community, trying to make Otherkin folk seem “less ridiculous” to people who ridicule our identities, in order for them to like us better, a.k.a Pick-Me behaviour.
Let me tell you one, belittling yourself and your community in oder to satisfy the standard of somebody unrelated is not the way to educate them on it. It’s rather the opposite. Plus, you absolutely don’t need anyone’s validation to live your harmless identity.
I am an Angel. I DO genuinely identify as one and I am not cool with gatekeeping our community in order to seem more credible, thanks.
it is indeed quite aphoristic and fun to pull individual quotes. but if you want to read “october” by louise glück in its entirety, which i highly recommend, you can find it here
Thank you, it's beautiful! I love it.

btw you can use whatever gender seasonings you want. paint your nails, wear breast forms, wear a binder, pack, tuck, dress however you want, whatever. you are adding ingredients to your gender soup.
Shall we talk about Ahsoka’s Major Regret for a minute?
Her first mistake was thinking that the two of them had the luxury of another time.
She rather abruptly brushes off her excited friend, but it’s okay, because they can always talk later, when all of this is over. There’ll be another time for conversation. They part ways on good terms, but they still have a lot to talk about.
But then- Dooku is dead, Anakin is spying on the Chancellor. Okay, things are getting pretty serious. Better get Obi-Wan to relay a message.
(he won’t.)
A day or two passes. Yoda offers to deliver a message to Anakin, and Ahsoka really wants to talk to him- but maybe not through Yoda. He isn’t Obi-Wan, he doesn’t understand Anakin like they do. She can tell Anakin later.
And then less than an hour later, the galaxy changes forever. “Another time” becomes “Never”. Ahsoka will never see Anakin Skywalker again and she lives with the guilt of not being there for him for sixteen entire years.
That vision in the temple on lothal? That’s not actually Anakin. That’s a manifestation of what Ahsoka has been subconsciously telling herself for a decade and a half.
And then- Malachor. She strikes Vader’s mask to reveal Anakin’s eye, Anakin’s voice, and she does not judge him, she does not ask him any questions, because she finally, finally has a chance to tell him-
not this time.
“another time” is now.
