You won't get media with messier, more nuanced, more realistic queer characters if you keep flying off the handle the second a fictional character has sex, does drugs, swears too much, or acts vaguely like an asshole.
You won't get more diverse queer media with wider stories if you can't handle it when queer artists make art that is raunchy, crude, edgy, and gross.
You won't get more diverse queer media if you shut everything down the second it does something you, personally, get squicked out by.
You will never get more diverse queer media if you contribute to the way queer media is picked apart, raked over the coals, and held to unreasonably high standards.
You will never get what you want if you keep tearing queer artists down for their weird experimental art instead of learning how to say, "this isn't for me, that's fine, and I'll be over here in my own space."
okay okay I know the point of this is “White people need to put as much effort into learning how to pronounce Black people’s names as they do foreign European names” and 100% I totally agree, absolutely good point
but this tweet becomes hilarious in the context of this clip:
anyways, absolutely put effort into learning how people pronounce their names. just don’t feel bad if it takes you some time to get it right 😅
(also in case you didn’t watch the video it’s “N-SHOO-tee” not “SHOO-tee”)
it annoys me when sapphic women see an attractive woman and are like “i’m no better than a man 😳😔” like BABE you are allowed to see an attractive woman and want to fuck her!!! free yourself from the cottagecore PG13 narrative of sapphic attraction, look at her with lust in your heart!!!
“Baikal Zen”: Rocks that have fallen on the ice of Lake Baikal are heated by sunlight and emit infrared rays that melt the ice below. Once the sun is gone, the ice becomes solid again, creating a small support for the rock above.

Why Zevlor would've been perfect as an Act 3 companion:
1 - He has the perfect opening to recruit him. (After you rescue him in the mind flayer colony.) He wants to prove himself and help but can't go back to his people.
2 - It would've given us a paladin companion for good-aligned playthroughs. (As opposed to Minthara for evil-aligned playthroughs.)
3 - He already has struggles he needs to overcome and thus would fit right in with the rest of the group.
4 - He appears to have a unique character model, unlike some NPCs.
5 - When you free him from the pod and he goes all paladin on those mind flayers and intellect devourers, smiting them down all on his own... It's hot. Zevlor is hot.
Thank you for coming to my presentation. Before I go, everyone please enjoy this picture of Zevlor covered in blood.
