i keep seeing misinformation about this, so: queerplatonic relationships do not have a set definition. the name comes from the idea that it's "queering" the platonic relationship, tailoring it to the individual relationships' own desires. it isn't necessarily romance lite, but it also isn't necessarily whatever definition you want to impose on it. the point of queering the platonic relationship is to break away from strict allonormative views on friendship, romance, and sex, not to make a new categorical box to fit in.

the answer to "what is a qpr?" is "whatever you want it to be." sometimes that is romance lite. sometimes it's a deeply committed friendship. sometimes it's friends who have a sexual relationship. sometimes it's based on an entirely different mode of attraction. sometimes it's fluid and impossible to put into words. it's whatever you want it to be. it's queer.

I think bringing up "it/its" pronouns is a good test for people who claim to be "trans allies" because it so easily weeds out the people who are only doing it superficially. I've seen so many people who will post "Punch your local TERF #transrightsarehumanrights" and then turn around and be like "If someone says they go by 'it/its' pronouns it's actually good to misgender them because they're just teenager trenders"

I don't think you need a real "reason" to block someone btw. I've absolutely blocked people because they gave bad vibes or had a bad take. At the end of the day you have power over what type of content you see online, take advantage of that!

Please don’t let fandom ruin something you love. Walk away and unfollow the fans and enjoy the thing by yourself, or find a limited circle of people who ignore the discourse, or get your irl friends into the thing and collectively ignore the Internet community, or blacklist from here to the moon if you need to and only ever scroll through your rarepair ship’s tag on AO3. But don’t let fandom distort a show or a movie or a book or a comic you used to love so badly that you can’t enjoy the original anymore. Please. It isn’t worth it.

Okay but which one of them is you tho

#lol. all of the above

[mirroredbirds]

anyway, i feel like it's worth mentioning that we're plural and the person this account "technically" belonged to just didn't feel like showing up. lmao

#might fuck around and start vaguely indicating who's posting what. for fun

[mirroredbirds]

#can you believe pepper is still alive

if you're autistic highly sensitive over emotional if you "get upset over stuff that doesn't matter" if you get angry easily sad easily if you laugh easily or for longer or loudly if your anger is explosive and feels bottomless if you're easily frustrated if you get angry because you're confused or don't understand if people are always telling you to grow up or making fun of you for "disproportionate reactions", if you have screaming crying violent meltdowns over just anything, i love and support and care about you

your emotions are proportionate because there is no one way to react to anything

you deserve to be respected. you are just a person who is alive

Not to out myself as someone that’s been on tumblr for too long, but I’m so sad to see this new trend of people saying “I like this thing, even though the show isn’t airing anymore.” Like? That’s how things work! Keep enjoying them! Art doesn’t just vanish when it’s not airing, and it wasn’t made to be exclusively viewed live! 10+ years ago, the idea of saying “Ah, I’m still here in this fandom 2 years after the show was cancelled 😳” would have been BONKERS!

All these kids saying “It’s so sad the shows gone,” no it’s not!!! I saw your fanart yesterday! Last week you told me about my favorite character’s music playlist!!! I saw them running around in your AMV!

Where’s the longevity?? It was made for you!!! Not TV!!! It was made for keeps!!! Keep it!!! Please!!! That’s how art stays alive!!!

Actually, the term proshitter is ableist to those with digestive disorders. In this essay I will...
