oooooo white people in my replies really saying ‘I can excuse racism but I draw the line at homophobia’
Not surprised since this is the site that only talks about racism and thinks it’s a big deal when they see it demonstrated in the cartoons and comics they like *coughs* dungeonmeshi *coughs* (for example at least. I haven’t seen THIS many white ppl talk as in depth about racism on here as much as these fandom nerds, man. I stg. Like “Ohhhh, so you all DO acknowledge that racism is real? Just not in real life even if you could feel it slapping you in the face at high speed. Gotcha.” It’s crazy.
Tumblr is like, 90% white and is extremely centered around them. That’s why you barely see stuff that’s important to black and brown people ever trending here or being talked about. It has to be something incredibly huge to the point where even white people can’t ignore it like they usually do, to talk about it here.
They only talked about George Floyd here because the topic of his death became world news. Even people in other countries were talking about it. Before him, it was probably Ferguson and Trayvon Martin… most of them are still trying their best to ignore the genocides because it’s a “touchy subject.” What do you expect from white people who live in their own bubbles of comfort and refuse to pop it with a needle??? They find comfort in their privilege and faux ignorance (they love playing stupid to avoid conversations about important things outside of fandoms like, are these mfs born with half a brain dedicated to fandom or what.) That’s literally all these mfs make a big deal out of, especially on this annoying ass platform. The ao3 mfs will go to war for the site that allows racist ff and cp like it’s no big deal. I wonder how many people here even donated to the site while actively scrolling past dono posts from folks who really do need help. They act like they’re doing a civil service by defending this site that makes over the amount of it’s intended dono goal in minutes.
Then you already know as soon as you even bring up racism in the stuff they like, they start ganging up and harassing black bloggers especially, calling them TERFs and the whole nine. Anything to make that person look bad for being concerned about the racism that they have such an intense aversion to. God, it’s absolutely exhausting knowing that these people would have no problem choosing a cartoon character over your entire existence if they COULD. Isn’t that fucking sad, man?

when these two losers are what compel you to lose your f1 fic writing virginity
The longer George stood there, the harder it became to watch.
His place in the Mercedes garage, where he was ostensibly reviewing data from the practice session, unfortunately gave him the perfect view of everything that was going on. He watched as Lewis jumped up from his seat, a little bit quicker than calmly, and grabbed his scooter from where it was leaning against the tire rack, kicking off to roll slowly towards the pit wall. George didn’t even need to look any further to know who had just walked into view, but he craned his neck anyway to see, perhaps against his better judgement.
It had been going on like this for at least an hour. The first time it had seemed like an accident: Lewis’s arrival to the paddock just happening to coincide with Nico walking past the Mercedes garage, their paths running side by side just momentarily before Lewis peeled off. For a moment George had thought he was going to see an off-track collision, but instead the two hadn’t so much as looked at one another, and the only evidence that Lewis had even noticed was the way his voice came out a little tighter when he said hello to the team.
But the next time Nico walked by, Lewis had grabbed his scooter again, muttering something about needing to check in with Bono at the pit wall. That time had been clearly deliberate: Lewis driving his scooter right up alongside Nico so that there was less than a person’s width between them. But he still didn’t acknowledge Nico (this time he had his AirPods in, even) and Nico didn’t acknowledge him, not even breaking stride when Lewis darted across his path. Then, when Nico came walking back, that was the moment Lewis decided to scooter back to the garage, slowing down to brush up alongside him still without so much as a glance.
It had been a little funny at first, but now it was honestly starting to look sad. George had almost worked up the nerve to say something before Lewis had left again, catching up to Nico and coming so close that they were almost hip to hip. To his credit, he would’ve seemed like the picture of calm if George hadn’t seen him do this so many times just now, parking his scooter at the pit wall and peering over the engineers’ shoulders with all of his typical nonchalance. But George had seen him do it at least four times in the past hour.
“George,” said Toto, somehow sneaking up behind him and making him jump. “Can I bother you for a second?”
“Oh, yeah. Sure,” said George. He didn’t take his eyes off of Lewis quickly enough, and Toto followed his gaze just in time to see Lewis peek casually over his shoulder, see Nico looking back at him, and immediately snap his head back to the pit wall screens.
“I see,” said Toto. “This has been going on for a bit, yes?”
“Definitely a bit,” said George.
“To be honest, I suspected it would be like this when I heard Nico would be here,” said Toto. His expression was even more haunted than usual, and George could only imagine the flashbacks that were playing through his mind.
“Yeah. It’s a bit sad though, innit?” Even from across the pit lane George could see the way Lewis’s attention was not entirely on the engineers, still keeping an eye out behind him for his old teammate.
Toto laughed. “What’s sad,” he said, “is just how many times Nico has walked past our garage for no reason.”

Just wanted to say, I think I’m on the wrong side of tumblr. Why do some of y’all act like lesbians are drooling but forcing themselves not to sleep with men and male aligned people?
Lesbians are not into men, we are into: cis-women, trans-women, non-binary people, gender-fluid people, and labels similar
We are not into: men (trans and cis)
(Some lesbians have crushes on fictional men, but not real men. I’m not talking about them)
Guys, y’all don’t have to use labels, it’s ok not to. It’s ok to not know, or to feel like a label doesn’t exactly describe you. You can go by queer, but please stop using the term lesbian. You can create new terms and everything, but this was originally made for non-men to describe their attraction to non-men.
Some people feel comfortable with labels, not everybody wants to be outside of the label. I respect you guys who don’t go by labels, so please just respect people who do.
It’s completely okay to not have a label, or to create a new one. You can go by queer, and that’s okay.
I like having a box for me to relate to other people, you don’t have to if you don’t want to. Just please respect lesbians space.
It feels lesphobic to identify as a man and still call yourself a lesbian, or to date men in the present and do it? Not everybody is attracted to men, this is the label that represents that. Please respect us. Maybe a different term would fit for you, or again, you don’t have to use a term. Can y’all please just stop trying to include men in lesbianism? This is the whole point of being a lesbian. You’re not a lesbian if you’re not a non-man liking non-men. You’re either a straight guy or bi/pan or just generally queer.

A list of emojis that are aro to me:
🫀 - anatomical heart. using this as a substitute for other heart emojis is pretty aro tbh
♠︎/♠️- spade. more of an aroace symbol than a general aro symbol (because of the ace card suit symbolism). i mostly use it because i like the way it looks aesthetically tbh but it also is a pretty significant symbol for aroaces
🏹 - bow and arrow. need i say more?
⬅️⤵️↗️ - literally any arrow emoji. because ar(r)o(w)
🥒 - cucumber. looks like zucchini. zucchini = slang term for a partner in a queerplatonic relationship
🥀 - wilted rose. because red roses represent romance, and romance is dead (i killed it myself)
💐- bouquet of roses. this one is a bit aro because it contains yellow roses, which are aromantic culture.
🌻 - sunflower. i just think yellow flowers (yellow roses especially, but also just yellow flowers in general) are aro
💚 - green heart. it is green. that is aro.
🍍- pineapple. since pineapples are an alloaro symbol.
🍏 - green apple. for apl-spec aros because green is aro and apples are apl
🫁 - lungs. as a cold, loveless aro, i have no heart to wax poetic about as alloromantic people often get to do. because of this, i have chosen the lungs to be the internal organ that i glamorize. it just makes me feel included
💘 - heart with arrow. it has an arrow in it, which is enough for me tbh.
