#queer as hell and happy about it

Vocal Teacher: Just sing the note as straight as you can, so you know what it feels like.

Me, physically unable to stop myself: I’ve never done anything straight in my life.

queer is literally my best friend it’s a warm blanket and a safety pin and a baseball bat in my hands and warm food in my belly. queer is a calling card it’s a promise it’s home it’s a journey it’s an old friend, a past lover, the ghost of who I used to be. queer is one of the best things to happen to me. I am queer in that I am strange and unlabelable, in that I am a person who has fought and will fight, in that I am free

#me? waxing poetic about the word queer? more likely than you think! #not gay as in happy but queer as in fuck you #or whatever #does this make sense to anyone but me? probably not #am I gonna post it anyway? hell yeah #queer

Very interesting (concerning) that while there’s a general consensus of “of course there’s queer Muslims and Jews and Christians we love them!” But that love is conditional. You can be religious but not too religious. You can be spiritual as long as it’s not actually that important to you. You can be observant of your religion’s dogma and traditions as long as you keep it away from everybody else.

But I don’t want to cut myself into smaller pieces. I don’t want to take a part of my life and culture and being and hide it away behind closed doors. It’s just…hypocritical and disappointing when people, who clamor about their love for the contradictory and self-authentic, hate when they’re confronted with it.

#tower of babble #catholic #lgbt #side b #sorry I saw a very good post pointing out the way queer Jews are often cited with the caveat that they’re not observant Jews #and how there are queer observant Jews but I didn’t want to derail so I made my own post #because fuckin hell how often do you see white queers telling queer Muslim women to stop wearing their hibjabi (unless it’s for ~cultural~ #purposes). it’s disgusting and demeaning to assume queer people don’t have deeply meaningful spiritual lives. #side b Christians 🤝 observant queer Jews 🤝 devout queer Muslims #me. happily trans and gay: I’m so happy and blessed to have this body and life - #homo/transphobes: you’re going to hell you’re evil you’re stupid you’re faking it #me: huh. oh. um. well I’m still blessed because I know you are not speaking with Christ in your heart- #a surprising number of self proclaimed radicals: uhhhh please don’t acknowledge that you’re Christian it makes us. uncomfortable. #me: …being uncomfortable and confused about others is the pride of Pride? the queer community thrives on contradiction and self definition? #anyways. prof put my pronouns down as he/she/they on the syllabus and I am popping the biggest gender affirming bottles tonight #(praying a chaplet and eating rice like the grad student peasant I am)

it is so vitally important to me that aziraphale and crowley not only love each other but choose to love each other.

i don’t want it to be fate. i don’t want it to be god’s will. i want it to be a conscious and continuous choice.

i want aziraphale choosing every day of his goddamn existence to love crowley and all that he is. i want aziraphale choosing to love crowley not in spite of being a demon, but because he is a demon. i want aziraphale choosing to love crowley’s curiosity and creative wonder. i want aziraphale choosing to love crowley’s love of plants and gardening.

i want crowley choosing to love aziraphale’s passion for books. i want crowley choosing to love aziraphale’s desire to do things the human way even if he could just miracle it. i want crowley choosing to love aziraphale’s angel-ness because it is a fundamental part of him.

i want aziraphale choosing to love everything about crowley and vise versa. and i want it to be a very conscious and intentional choice.

it being fate negates the entire point of the story. good omens is a love story between an angel and a demon, yes. but that’s not all that it is. it’s a story about two occult/ethereal beings who choose humanity over the great plan. two beings who choose the world over armageddon. and they make those choices because despite it all they have chosen to fall in love with the world and with humanity.

it only makes sense that they choose each other. that they choose their love. it being fate or god’s will ruins the foundational pillar of their relationship. that they choose each other over and over and over again. year after year, century after century, time and time again. they always choose. they choose the arrangement, they choose saving the other from harm, they choose lying to protect the other.

it is always a choice. and it better stay a choice or i am going to be so devastated.

#look i’m good with most anything for s3 #as long as they end up in the south downs & hug at least once i will be happy #but this is one thing that isn’t necessarily a need but more like a deep rooted desire that will break me if not met #like if it’s all ‘haha this was god’s plan all along’ i will be so upset #disappointed even #because neil can do better than that #he’s a better writer than that #not to mention it makes absolutely no sense in the context of the story #like i understand how it’s fun to play around with ‘they were made for each other’ #but i really want them to choose each other despite everything #because if i’m being honest it’s one of the things about aziracrow that feels fundamentally queer #to say ‘yeah fuck that’ to what the systems in power tell you you should act like #or who you should love and care for #and instead say ‘i choose this’ ‘i choose you’ to the people and things that actually fulfill you #that is powerful and that is foundational to queerness and queer liberation in my opinion #it’s not about fate or being made for whatever #it’s saying ‘i don’t care if it’s fate or the divine plan or not. it just is and you can’t change the fact that it simply /is/.’ #and maybe that’s just me #but it sure as hell makes sense in my mind #good omens #aziracrow #ineffable husbands #crowley #aziraphale #good omens 2 #ineffable wives #neil gaiman #good omens meta #aziracrow meta #gomens meta

seeing a whole lot of "just run everything through nightshade or glaze" posts from people who forgot that some blogs are over a decade old. and that tumblr doesnt edit reblogs if the original post was edited

#fuck this and fuck everything i might as well just die at this point #the internet is a hell hole and im not safe in real life and everyone is dying #what's the fucking point dude #what's left to be happy about. i can barely even hold a conversation nowadays #i just space out and lose my train of thought bc this shit is too much #i dont have a place left to just *exist* #everything is data harvesting and trying to sell me. i log out and the tv is telling me i should die for daring to exist as a queer #get away from the tv and go outside. turns out the outside is also trying to kill me

[amiinkles]

I dont usually post non art related things but ugh. That ending made me sick...

#i would talk more on it but i feel like itll just be a stupid rant that talks about what many people have said on the topic #yes im an izzy fan yes i hate the ending because he died #i feel so bad for the old izzy fans who have been countlessly harrassed by fellow queers in the fandom #for them to go through hell just to be gifted the worst thing of all #a canonical death that happened rushed and horribly #nothing against the actors i just wish it ended differently #im not excited for season 3 anymore. they already got their 'happy ending' #sorry i actually ranted 😭 if you want to discuss about it or let it out feel free to comment #and apologies to everyone else who saw this feel free to celebrate or something idk #ofmd #ofmd s2 #ofmd s2 spoilers #ofmd s2 ending #izzy hands #i wish the actors the best and people who enjoyed the ending will get a season 3 they enjoy too #ill probably delete this later when i clear my head but im not doing well right now and i mean genuinely... #'not moving on is worse' or something

Sorry but they did make Spock allo in Strange New Worlds (prequel to TOS) where weirdly enough his partner is T'Pring

I am deeply disgusted but not surprised.

I had heard that Spock was involved with T'Pring in SNW, but I was hoping it, y'know, wasn't in an allo way? I can roll with him marrying because it's The Thing To Do, trying to be a good spouse to T'Pring, even liking her as a person; that's all in character for him. They could've done all that while still letting him be aroace. It's the fucking Jughead shit all over again

#I would watch SNW if they'd have just let Spock be aroace #just like I'd have watched (well. at least attempted) Shitterdale if they'd have just let Jughead be aroace #if TOS!Spock had been mlm-coded the queers would never shut up about it #and there would (rightly) be a big stink if subsequent iterations straightwashed him #but bc he's aroace no one cares and in fact they're happy to see his orientation erased #anonymous #asks #Star Trek #Spock #arophobia #acephobia #asexual #aromantic #fandom hell

[ineloquent-tumbling]

I’m making my own post because I don’t want to clog the notes on another that’s only tangentially related. @vaspider posted a tiktok about how they never thought they were attractive until he stopped looking at himself through the lens of how we measure the attractiveness of cishet women. And that… sparked something for me.

I’m nonbinary and genderqueer. I came to this realization in relatively recent terms, only in 2018 or so.

Before that, I presented as aggressively femme, in part to compensate for how off I felt in my own gender. I was judged to be unattractive by my peers as a child and young adolescent, partially because of my gender nonconformity. (The number of times I was derided as a “shemale” is truly uncomfortable to contemplate, on a number of levels.) So, as I grew older, I worked hard to prove that I could be attractive as a perceived cishet woman.

And it worked. I was. I became a very attractive femme “woman.” I knew it, I felt it, and the people around me validated me for it repeatedly.

It fit like an overtight dress. Sexy, but fundamentally uncomfortable.

When I came out as nonbinary, I am somewhat shamed to admit that I was really really worried that I wouldn’t be attractive anymore.

This past weekend, I went out to dinner in a short-sleeved button down shirt, an ascot, and a pocket square. One of my friends complimented my aesthetic effusively.

“You always look amazing, but in that kind of outfit, you are so Daddy, in the queerest way possible,” she said.

And you know what? Maybe I’m not attractive by cishet standards these days. But I’m not here for cishet people.

I’m finally comfortable, and the kind of people I care about, myself included, find me more attractive than ever.

[maximus-gluteus]

nothing to see here

#ok plz i wanna rant about how the new season of good omens is making me lose faith in humanity #girl tell me how ive trudged through 4 episodes of this season and i still dont know what the damn hell is going onnnnnn #every time i think we're getting somewhere with the 'story' the show slams the brakes to let me know that there're gay people on screen #does the coffee shop chick ever apologize to the record store chick bc i cant staaaand their romance. #like record store lady. girl. this isnt banter shes just straight up dissing your passion and life's work. #im scared to finish the season bc i just KNOW theyre gonna pull the whole 'i made u leave ur toxic partner now date me immediately' trope #ok so story beats aside my other gripe is how contrived the queer representation is in this show #i am a bi woman! my reaction to seeing wlw on screen should be 'yay! im happy theyre together' and not 'ugh this shit again?' #and also with az and crowley! what happened to their chemistry from the first season??? #like on the one hand the whole 'bickering like an old married couple' schtick is lovely. but. theyre just faffing about most of the time! #remember the first season? when these characters had agency? and a semblance of intuition? #i am convinced that the majority of the characters in this season couldnt find their way out of a paper bag #i get theres a whole memory loss plot device thing happening. but it feels like Gabriel's cluelessness is like fucking infectious or smthn #i feel like an idiot for assuming that the characters i knew from the first season will be just as competent in this season. they arent! #i hated the whole 'continued' story in the wwii era. i feel like it was a pathetic ploy at giving mark gatiss more needless screentime #did they think people would find the nazi zombies amusing or something? why are we playing this off as a joke? #just admit you dont know what to do with the story and move onnnnnnnn #im gonna finish the season bc i feel like im owed the scene of david tennant sucking face with michael sheen. #itll be like reparations for having to slough through the rest of this nothing burger of a story jesuuuuuussss #ok rant over #good omens critical

[odetolovers]

hey i'm sorry this is going to sound incredibly parasocial but I always get so happy whenever you post about how happy you are or how much you love your gf idk maybe it's because seeing other queer people being happy just gives me a little hope for my future? idk lol but anyway that's all hope you have a nice day :)

STOPPP that’s so cute wait stop i’ll cry :( i totally understand you on that, seeing queer people happy and talking about their partners has alwaysss made me go !!!!! so i get you!! i’m really glad <333

#i think especially as a formerly repressed + struggling w internalised homophobia didnt figure out she was queer until she was 20 girlie #my life panning out the way it did and me finding the person who i know without a doubt is the love of my life #and being openly gay on here + irl #it just proved to me that if you stay the course you Will find what you’re looking for #i think it’s so easy to feel isolated and alone and hopeless if you’re queer and you dont particularly have queer people around you #- certainly was the case for me #so queer joy and queer love being openly showcased on social media makes me so so happy #also i just love talking about my girlfriend one of my favourite topics fr fr #this is like three different points in one tag ramble but fuck it im tired as hell and deliriously happy WAHOO! #valentina answers #anon my beloved
