"We shouldn't be showing our kids any of that lgbt stuff!"

Well, Brenda. I'll *tell* you why it is important to reveal lgbt representation (in a positive light) to children!

When I was a child, I thought there was something wrong with me. I had no interest in men like my friends did and I couldn't understand why I didn't fawn over men like them.

I forced myself to have "crushes" on the boys in my class because i so so badly wanted myself to be normal!

And when I was revealed about lgbt, it was in a homophobic negative light, so naturally i was homophobic as well. And when i started questioning if i liked girls instead of boys it scared the shit out of me and i took those thoughts and locked them in a box and ran far away from them, in fear that i would be "weird" or "abnormal" and if i just ignored it, it would go away (spoiler: it didnt)

Showing lgbt media and positive representation to kids doesn't "turn them gay" or "confuse them", it only makes queer kids hate themselves and makes them think their "not normal", because they are unlike their hetero/cis peers.

Let's stop hurting our children in hopes to "protect" them because *you're* scared of something that isn't hurting anyone. You're not "protecting the children", you're protecting yourself.

#lgbtq #lesbian #gay #trans #queer #let lgtq be shown in more child media #the owl house #amphibia #steven universe #protect our children #is bullshit #youre only protecting yourself #homophobia #bisexual #pansexual #nonbinary

“ I can explain why I got a kid with me. Im her dad so uh congratulations you’re an uncle.”

*the cup in Fox's hand almost drops. Almost because nothing can make him drop caf.

Tiredly he opens his mouth just to close it again. He looks at the kid, immediately feeling bad for the ad. This is not a good time to be in this bloody, disgusting world*

Good job, Thrasher.

*he might be exhausted, but there is always room for a little bit of sarcasm. He sighs and looks back at the ad. The ghost of a smile lingering on his lips as he stretches his hand out to poke the ad in its cheeks. *

Su'cuy, ad'ika. Do you want some caf?

#what do you mean adiik aren’t allowed to deink caf?#brothers control yourself #use protection #save the galaxy #coruscant guards #caf #i am a ba'vodu now #… i am ba'vodu!#i only had this child for two seconds but if anyone even looks wrong at her #i will kriff them up #maybe not in front of her #we don’t need more traumatized children

wait wait wait, I get oot being a narrative about being forced to grow up early bc literally everything abt kokiri forest, but how is it a narrative about adults failing children? Link in particular? I'd think if anything they failed Zelda by not taking her warnings seriously so she had nobody to help her prevent it except Impa and a kid she met less than a week ago, which in the end was their ruin that Link had to deal with...oh ok that sums it up doesn't it. but I'm. Actually struggling to recall concrete, on-screen adult characters lmao.

Ok ok recap, the Deku tree didn't actually send for Link until he was Literally Dying (and given that it was too late to save him from the curse and some kokiri had noticed something wrong with the forest, he must have stuck with it WITHOUT saying anything for a while) and given that literally all the kokiri are kids he didn't have much of a choice pick. Can't remember if Darunia actually asked Link to clear the dodongo cave or if he did it on his own...but yeah the Zora king was useless—dude, don't ask the nine year old to crawl in the belly of a giant fish and GET OFF YOUR BUTT. Sage of Light was a BITCH like, shut up and don't blame the 9 yo for opening the sacred realm, ganondorf would have gotten there eventually and hurting a lot more people in the process, where the hell were you when it happened given that this is YOUR temple. And then when he was 16 most ppl wouldn't know that he's still 9 inside so I think I glazed over from there? Maybe I shouldn't have, but I get the feeling that kids come of age and are trusted with adult responsabilities earlier in their world—I mean, in wind waker Link came of age at 12.

OK that's like 4 adults who failed to deal with their own problems but I really think the Deku Tree tried his best until the curse forced his non-existent hand. Honorary mentions for useless adults include Malon's lazy father and the greedy stable hand (poor Malon) and the castle patrolling guards. And the windmill guy not checking the well after u play the song of storms bc HOLY SHIT. And whoever sealed the well in the future nor sealing the top too, are you ASKING for someone to fall down there

oh this is great. more people should come into my asks and then literally make my entire point for me

#also just because the deku tree didn't INTEND to cause link harm doesnt necessarily negate the harm he did.#i dont think ANY adult in oot was TRYING to hurt link or zelda (aside from ganondorf obv) but that's the point--#the adults in their various attempts to utilize the children--to keep them away from the conflict to use them as tools in the conflict etc #end up hurting them and failing at their fundamental duty as adults: to protect and raise these children.#and yes this isn't necessarily directly stated in game but so much of oot is implied narrative! you're meant to come to these conclusions #yourself.#asks

Voting democrat will do nothing to stop the genocide in Palestine. However it’s still disingenuous to pretend that democrats being in office is somehow no different than republicans being in office

#.txt #your life can and will only get worse as an American if there are republicans in office #it is good that we are being incredibly critical of democrats for their inability to stand up against colonialism #but not voting is just shooting yourself and other minority groups in the foot #it wasn’t republicans who fought to protect the rights of black voters in Georgia #it wasn’t democrats sponsoring bills to ban trans healthcare for children and label parents of trans kids as abusers #and it’s not democrats who are running on a platform of pro choice transphobia #there is more to politics than just foreign affairs #I’m not voting dem because I think it’ll stop the genocide in Palestine or the Congo #I’ve NEVER voted dem because of that #I’d be stupid to think that politicians are going to stand in opposition to the institutions of colonialism that give them their power #I vote dem because in a VERY REAL WAY democrats care more about the lives of minorities in America than republicans #that’s something worth protecting and it’s something worth voting for

dont describe yourself as a father or husband if you post porn or lewd images of women. you do not deserve the title of the position you unfortunately hold.

#txt #you should be worshipping your wife not pornography #you should be protecting your children not being a boobs-googling fucking infant yourself #pathetic

I just think it’s silly that so many people complain about Villain Amaya as “wasted potential” and that “we were robbed” like-

My pals, post canon fan fiction is right there. The desire to free her husband is right there. Either by touching an evil book while being too eager to remember the obsidian oil, or being possessed by contact (ie what she believes is true loves kiss) when trying to reason with him in the dungeon.

We don’t need a rewrite, we can have a continuation. Both can be true. Amaya is a complex character, she can handle it.

#Wish #Queen Amaya #I assume I'm going to get hate for this but like #I know it's not store bought and you have to still make it yourself but also #I'm kind of just tired of seeing a lot of people sh*tting on Wish because it's not the concept art #And I'm kind of over here like how about we love it recognize it has flaws and THEN try to make something new without bashing the OG?#I just love Amaya and she definitely deserves more #but her good character is so interesting and complex #she still knows how to have fun. She still can be sassy or bite.#Like she's still Magnifico's perfect partner you know? and Magnifico isn't perfect?#A truly pure person wouldn't click with Magnifico the way Amaya does...?#I would rather build on Amaya's character than say she can only be good and boring or a villain?#Amaya is so smart yall. I know you can't see it all just on the movie but like she's read every magic book in Magnifico's library #THOUSANDS OF BOOKS.#And knows basic protection spells #She's a devoted leader.#Like.#Idk #She both loves her husband and recognizes that she has to go against him.#She doesn't /turn/ on him. She addresses his flaws and tells him that it's not okay?#She still jokes with him even though she has to put him in time out. She's complex and strong and wise and kind.#And I just hate seeing so many people so quick to just say 'the concept art was better' when like... the idea might be more appealing to yo #But I hate the level of cynicism and pretentiousness I see of people saying their personal ideas of what Wish should be-#-Is better than the piece of media they claim to care about?#Like their personal vision of Wish based exclusively off the concept art is somehow intellectually superior?#And I'm not saying stop doing your rewrites or AU's or anything! Like there's definitely beautiful creativity happening!#I just hate seeing people so negative and like honestly mean. It hurts my heart to see everyone calling Wish garbage?#It's not great but I really really dont think it's as bad as everyone is saying. Like its no like Oppenheimer but it's a children's movie..#Like I personally love the Teens and Amaya #And everyone saying they stink makes me sad... Because they're just great characters?

Everyone who can should go see 'Sound of Freedom'. (Hear me out before you block me or dm me.)

It isn't a political film, nor is it a religious film. It doesn't support or propagate conspiracy theories. It is centered on protecting children. It's based on a well-documented rescue conducted in 2014, and mainstream media covered it favorably at the time.

The film was completed five years ago and set to be distributed under FOX, but when Disney acquired FOX, Disney shelved it. After buying back the rights for the film from Disney, the filmmakers, producers, and investors spent the last few years looking for a studio or a streaming service who would release the film. Everyone passed, until Angel Studios stepped up.

'Sound of Freedom' is not graphic or explicit in any way, and it conveys very challenging subject matter with respect, sensitivity, and nuance. But it is difficult to watch because the implications of things happening off screen are heart-wrenching.

If you are in a mental and emotional position to do so, go see it. Free tickets can be claimed here. Allow yourself to lose a little bit of innocence and naïveté to potentially preserve the innocence of children in your life or those who cross your path. Their safety and protection is worth more than our comfort.

#sound of freedom #protecting children is not a political or religious issue #see it for yourself and form your own opinion #take tissues #end child trafficking #end child abuse #human trafficking #hollywood #disney #tim ballard #jim caviezel #angel studios #operation underground railroad

Suho has to take care of a bunch of rats (his shadows) charged up on his crazy Hunter kill steroids (bloodlusts) and the worst part is that he is the youngest one there.

#Esil also #whats the human closest to his age?#his hyung #who he also has to take care of #rant here but i think ragnarok did nail the feeling of what the first author wanted to bring to the table first.#the final episode in the manhwa is a good point to see what the message was about SL #but the level up process for jinwoo did feel a litle more constricted since he had no sort of exterior help to guide him or help him #in thebfirst place apart from the syste.#he literally just had to do all by himself #whereas Suho. he starts off way too strong yes but thats most children tend to start up #you get helped by friends and family that love you and those you come across sometimes #you get helped by others you didnt even expect and with them you grow to greater heights #until finally you have to face your enemies all by yourself and surrounded by what youve gathered so far #bc your family will (and is meant ) to protect you until you learn to define and create the future that you want #solo leveling ragnarok #sung su ho #i dont think each story is better (at least not until slr finishes but jntil now #its doing good

see I can’t reblog the “god loves you but not enough to save you” type stuff because for Aylin it’s more like “god loves you enough to save you, but god can’t save you”

#OOC / HOLLY.#MOBILE.#normal about it (definitely not)#god loving you is not enough. mom loving you is not enough.#she can’t protect you from everything #fucked up that this is as much Selûne’s story as Aylin’s y’know #you can’t save your daughter. you can’t protect her from everything.#you can’t protect yourself from the loss. your gifts can be used to torment her.#yes children are losing as they grow but parents are too #learning* not losing

the canon timeline is my durge successfully hid the body and everyone shrugs it off when i mention i crave blood so its kinda bizarre whens theyre like 'im sorry i hid such a big secret from you. i want us to be able to trust each other' like me too bestie. i have a feeling you wouldn't be saying that if you knew my secret tho.

#gale is really compelling to my durge #like wow your willing to isolate yourself and die to protect people from yourself? thats so kool.....#um yea its totally crazy that he didnt mention that before now #a lot of the nighttime events are happening in a different order then before #theres the new durge ones and giving astarian the book this time #but he hasnt tried to bite me yet #laezel hasnt threatened to kill me #dove plays bg3 #selphira tryna do good like save gnomes and help children pretending it makes up for alfiras murder #she still wears the cape #and no dream visitor yet when i have 3 worms in storage

just an fyi for pride month that this blog is run by a queer adult but is safe and non-hostile and loving towards young queer people who have not been in the community long.

'baby gay' gets thrown around a lot on social media these days as a way of dismissing and cringe-ifying the younger members of our community, but it started out as a term of endearment by middle-aged and older queers for the members of our family who have finally found us. you are the children of our community, and it's our job as queer adults to teach you our history and how to recognize rhetoric that wants to hurt you, and love you and help you navigate to the places among us where you feel the most comfortable. I am sincerely sorry that so many of us have lost sight of how we're supposed to help and welcome you.

if you are new to the realization that you are queer and you are bursting with excitement about it, be as loud and covered in rainbows and passionate about sharing as you want. dive into the community headfirst, experiment with broad labels and microlabels alike, try out the cool sounding neopronouns you saw someone mention, draw or write about your favorite characters being just as queer as you are. bask in the freedom of your queerness. your queer joy is not cringe and the people who tell you it is are wrong and are usually just projecting their internalized queerphobia onto you.

if your road to us was a battle that has left you bitter and lonely and afraid, I am so glad you finally got here. there are people under the lgbt+ umbrella who are hurt enough to lash out against the rest of us, and they may try to recruit you into being ammunition against the community. if queer joy seemed overwhelming and absurd and impossible after what you've suffered and you sought refuge with people who are stuck in those painful spaces, I understand, and I am a safe person to reach out to if you want a gentle, good-faith conversation about why you may think the things you do and how you can begin to heal. we are waiting with love and safety and open arms for you when you're ready to join us. we will embrace you without the qualifiers or conditions that exclus communities operate under.

if you've known that you're queer for years and only recently felt safe enough to come out, you are safe and welcome here. if you just figured out that your confusing relationships with your friends or the dissonance in your sense of self were manifestations of your queerness all along, you are safe and welcome here. if you weren't queer before but something changed and now you are, you are safe and welcome here.

welcome home baby gays of all sorts; I'm so glad we found you 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

#i know many of you probably dont consider yourself children and that's very fair #even if you are not a child you are one of the children of our community in that you're new to this world #and you dont have the same means to protect yourself that adults have when you are still in school and under your family's roof #you are the ones that we need to be protecting #pride month #lgbt pride #gay pride #queer pride #queer positivity

Tomorrow I’m going to keep organizing our family photos if it kills me and then I honestly think I can never look at them again for my own sanity

#seeing photos of myself from the time period I was being assaulted is incredibly upsetting #because I was a CHILD #I was so innocent #and he took advantage of that #and it reminds me of the therapy session #where my therapist was prepping me to come forward to my parents about it #and the idea was just so upsetting I said you know what never mind I think it might just be easier to suppress it when #*again not when. I’m not retyping #and my therapist said #how old were you? you’re the age of the children you take care of at work.#would you say something if somebody assaulted any of them?#you owe it to yourself at that age and you owe it to them #and that just absolutely wrecked me #because I loved those babies so much #I still do #I’m still very close with one of them and I think about her all the time on bad nights like this #if anybody ever hurt her I would literally kill them. I would go to jail if it meant protecting this little girl.#and it’s nights like this where I need to just stop and mourn over what I lost #and the fact that I didn’t have anybody protecting me like that #even though the signs were absolutely there #because this man groomed his entire family into a culture of silence and denial #I’m just very angry right now #but getting this out has helped immensely #using tumblr as my diary again #tw #tw csa #cw #cw CSA

You see how fake it all is. It's not even hard enough to be made out of plastic. It's a paper town. I mean look at it Q: look at all those cul-de-sacs, those streets that turn in on themselves, all the houses, burning the future to stay warm. All the paper kids drinking beer some bum bought for them at the paper convenience store. Everyone demented with mania of owning things. All the things paper-thin and paper-frail. And all the people too.

John Green, Paper Towns

When I was a 12 year old preteen, I would walk out into the little woods near the house and climb up in a tree and talk to God, and by the time I got it all out, cried, wiped my tears and took a minute to think about whatever feelings I was feeling, an answer would occur to me- though back then I was trained to think/say that God had spoken to me and given me the answer. In reality I was figuring out my own issues, from within myself.
