I'm just going to say, as a trans person who has just finished visiting their traditionally cultural immigrant family, it's hard.
It's hard because as much as it feels like I've needed to leave parts of myself at home and fit myself into a box to be at peace with my family, I've realized there are parts I leave here with them every time I leave.
It's hard because being accepting of queer identity is not at all mutually exclusive to my family's culture, but they're convinced it is, and l don't know how to explain otherwise.
It's hard because just like I feel like they'll never understand my queerness, my queer white friends at home will never understand my roots, and BOTH refuse to recognize my whole.
It's hard because I miss my family. I miss their food. I miss their warmth. I miss their inside jokes and their knowing glances and their 20 kisses on each cheek to say hello and goodbye.
But while I was there it was like I was in cosplay. It was an uncomfortable facsimile of someone else, one that I couldn't wait to shed at the end of the day.
I'm leaving my childhood home right now, and heading back to the home I've built. And as I slip back into my own skin, it just feels I'm forgetting a part of my soul.

I’ve been having thoughts about parallels and I want to talk about them.
In Season 1, we know Enderian didn’t talk to Icarus. Mostly because they’re Fable’s child. And she didn’t ever really talk to them directly.
While now, in Season 3, Fable talks to them. He wants them to talk to him. He doesn’t want them to talk to anyone who disagrees with what he’s doing.
And yet, they both had the same goal. Both Enderian and Fable wanted and wants Icarus to feel alone. They both wanted Icarus to feel isolated, like they aren’t good enough. To push them to do terrible things to get that validation they crave.
And it’s working.
Icarus blew basically everything up in Season 1, also killing Haley, to try get Enderian to talk to them. To get her to tell them what she wanted. And now, Icarus has killed Momboo and Jamie, and blame themselves for Centross’ death. All because they want Fable to give them validation, not to mention that he does. He validates them when they do something ‘right’. He gives them that attention.
I just think it’s really neat and I wanted to ramble about it.

I've been stitching some cicadas lately. This year is going to be a big one for the screaming bugs!
For those interested in making their own cross stitched cicadas, the patterns are available for sale here and here! (Please note: my software skills mean that I had to freehand the AAAAAs rather than place them in the pattern itself, so those are not included in the patterns. This does mean that you can make these little guys uniquely your own and add any sort of scream that you'd like, though!)

As much as I love ep 12, I’m really disappointed that the scene of Laios reprimanding Falin didn’t have the same impact as in the manga.
Especially here.He so deeply cares for her but he’s still very visibly upset that she wasn’t as concerned for her own safety as he was/is.His clench and her soft patting,Laios’s silence and Falin gently assuring him that she’ll be more careful,it’s so emotionally dense.Suddenly Laios isn’t his usual silly self and Falin isn’t as drifty as she’s usually depicted.The tight squeeze he gives her after,once thinking that he had lost her forever.I really wish the anime had this.

EDIT: The sunflower types I picked for each spider! They picked the ones that reminded them the most of Miles. ;w;;
