#queerness for the soul

[stargazing-enby]

It's in the entire trans community's best interest to destigmatize detransition.

These banners are free to use with credit on Tumblr. Please ask me before using them outside of Tumblr.

[ID: a series of 10 banners with colourful backgrounds that read, in white, capital letters: "detransitioning but still trans", "detransitioned but still trans", "detransitioning but still an ally", "detransitioned but still an ally", "nondysphoric but still trans", "closeted but still trans", "questioning but still trans", "detransitioning doesn't equal failure", "detransitioning can be an act of self-love", and "destigmatize detransitioning".

To stay closeted. #They want us to stop being loud and visible and they want to stop us from taking up space #In essence they want us to stop existing #Do not trust anyone who talks about detransition like it's the ultimate form of failure and the end of the world #Also hi yes the pride spirit has got into me and I'm making banners again #Feel free to send me banner requests until the end of June (for now) and I may do them! #No promises though

asexual in a bisexual way

bisexual in an asexual way

#the blur is real #that is -- am firmly and comfortably asexual at present point in time #but the possible experiences of bi and ace are incredibly flexible and overlapping from person to person #and they often see a kinship of experience/places where they meet #ace stuff #bi stuff #queer stuff #asexual #bisexual #and ALSO that fucking around with labels is good for the soul/part of what queerness as philosophy is about #it's all bi-aced as they say

after rewatching nimona four times since its release (because yes, this movie is just that good), i caught a few little details that just make the whole experience so much better. so, incoming SPOILER ALERT, don’t read this if you haven’t watched the movie yet. speaking of, why the fuck haven’t you?? go watch the movie (and read the comic while you’re at it, some sites offer it for free), then come back and enjoy.

1. When the Squire gives Ballister his sword, he clearly realizes something’s wrong with it. He’s trained with it for so long that he knew that something was off just by holding it. This detail is something you wouldn’t pay much attention to when you first watch the film, but it’s there to make you realize something is a little off, especially when the Squire attempts to show him the video, but it also has plausible deniability so you could chalk it up to being something else (ie. the Squire wanting a picture with Ballister).

2. This sneaky line from this sneaky bitch.

3. Nimona tells us exactly how the movie ends. (Sorta. In a sense. The phoenix rises from the ashes and overthrows the government.)

4. You can see Nimona sneaking into the jail where Ballister is being kept.

5. Mini Ballister and Ambrosius! I think a few others have pointed this out before, but I only noticed it upon my second rewatch. (A little surprised younger Ambrosius didn’t have the Asian bob. That’s like a right of passage.)

6. Nimona’s train backstory versus her flashback.

7. During Nimona’s nightmare on the couch, she turns into a wolf, and then a cat. In her flashback, as the villagers attack her, she turns into a cat and then a wolf. It could be because having her turn into anything else would be too big for the couch, but if this is intentional, then it means Nimona was having a nightmare of that day.

8. This. Visually, the sparks are sorta similar, and in both instances, Ballister has lost something irreplaceable. I think this one might be a reach and may not be intentional, but my mind connected the two scenes and wouldn’t let go, so.

Honorable mention: the gay and trans flags above Ballister and Nimona respectively in that one scene. iykyk. I didn’t add it because 1. I think many other people have brought it up and 2. the mobile app is limiting me to 10 images. Anyway, I love this movie and its comic SO much and I’m so glad that it made it to our screens from the box of scrapped movies that could have been great if people (namely, executives) gave them a chance. There is so much love, care, and passion put into this movie, and you can really sense that this was made for its audience and its author, for its story and not only for the money it could make. This movie is metal as fuck, so GO STREAM IT!!

#nimona #nimona movie #nd stevenson #i love this movie sm this is my love letter to this movie #ballister and ambrosius r so fucking cute THIS is the queer rep i want #and nimona just.. she has my heart. my soul. I LOVE HER SM #ballister boldheart #ambrosius goldenloin #ive forced my brother my mom and five of my friends to watch this movie with me. it has been brilliant.

What I ADORE about the Doctor and Donna is that they're platonic. They are bffs. They love each other platonically! They're not secretly dating or hiding feelings from each other it's just a platonic love story and everyone is fine with it.

A sequel to this post. All banners are inspired by comments and tags people have left on the original post 🌈

[ID: a series of 6 banners with white capitalised text over different rainbow backgrounds (except for the last image, which as a black background with a crescent moon) that read, in order: "queer as in fuck you", "self-identifying is self-empowerment", "changing labels doesn't mean you lied before", "my journey with queerness is my business", "labels aren't mandatory", and "so what if it's a phase?" End ID]

These are free to use with credit. I tag all my queer banners as #queerness for the soul.

the other day when i was walkin to grab some supplies, i passed by this hot trans gal on our uni campus plaza. we gave each other a quick smile, and then she hopped on her unicycle and unicycled away.

ive never seen anything that ironic in my entire life, it was spectacular

#her outfit was also absolutely amazing #so good #literally healed my soul #and put me in a very good mood #wishing her all the best #transfem #trans #queer #:3

and you know what the thing is, is i don't even think the biggest problem is going to be that buck's jealous. eddie knows buck. that's the love of his life, but more than that, he just knows him intrinsically. he knows how he is. he knows he gets insecure. he knows he has abandonment issues, like. he knows. he has never once hesitated to give buck assurance and he'll give it again (that scene in buck's loft in 7x05). the problem is going to rise when eddie's relationship with tommy is still a problem after their talk, and neither of them are going to know why. becuase from eddie's pov, it's going to be like, well now you're just being ridiculous. i already told you i love you (in so many words). i already told you we're solid, i already told you nothing's going to change and you're still being weird and i don't like it. and from buck's pov, it's going to be like. i realize we had this conversation, but i still don't like this relationship. i still want things to go back to the way they were. i'm still hungry for your attention and you're not giving it to me.

and so it's like. that's where the wires get crossed. because at some point, buck is going to have to examine his thoughts and feelings again, and he's going to be like, well this man and his relationship with eddie has been the only thing that's consumed my thoughts for weeks; therefore, i must want him desperately. and it's like. yes. solid thinking there, buck. definitely no other options it could possibly be. nuh uh. makes perfect sense. 1000/10 excellent problem solving, great job, buckaroo. dumbass.

#And there's also something to be said about Buck's reaction to hearing that Eddie and Tommy clicked because he's like... 'Yeah I know #exactly what that's like because (when I stopped being dumb) you and I clicked' #and considering Buck's brain I have to wonder if there's something there in the way he thinks Eddie processes his own relationships #as in: the key to having a good solid bestfriendship is clicking with someone right off the bat #so in Buck's mind he is (for lack of a better word) relegated to JUST friendship because he thinks that's how it is in EDDIE'S mind #So of COURSE he's freaking out about Tommy moving in on his best friend because as far as he's concerned #being best friends with Eddie is just about having a natural connection #and not about like. What you actually offer him. Which is so shallow. Buck knows him deeper than that #but he's so blinded by his own irrational paranoia (and queer feelings which are scary when you are a baby gay!) #that he doesn't even realize what the fuck is going on in HIS head since he's so focused on what he THINKS is going on in Eddie's #Bless his sweet soul i need to kiss him so bad like buck you're so fucking dumb let's make out #anyways

The Russian Ministry of Justice has just filed a lawsuit against the entire LGBT+ community as an extremist organization.

Yes, the whole worldwide LGBT+ community. Yes, they have actually filed it in the Supreme Court. Yes, every single queer might be considered an extremist in Russia very soon.

the love story being so central to our flag means death really is mindblowing. i haven’t stopped thinking about it for months. it is, to its core, a romance. that was the point. the queer romance wasn’t written in in the second or third season because the fandom picked up on the homoeroticism and made a ship popular. it wasn’t added in because the fans demanded it or because the actors pushed for it later on it wasn’t forced into slowburn by a network it was there the whole time.

when stede showed ed his secret closet that was on purpose an allegory, when they shared the marmalade bread that was romantic intentionally, when they rowed away from the burning party boat and ed was looking at stede that was him FALLING IN LOVE . that's how it was WRITTEN. ed really actually leaned in and almost kissed stede in the moonlight scene. and then. they actually kissed! like i know this is months old news now but i can’t get over how fucking different this feels to other queer romances i’ve seen. it is the core and central plot of the show and it’s beautiful. it’s funny it’s cute it’s heartwarming it’s GOOD. they did it.

#i cannot emphasize how good it feels to have a queer story #at all first of all #but also a queer romance that didn't require the writers/network to be held at gunpoint for several seasons before allowing it to happen #comparing it to hannibal is interesting because hannibal was very much trying to be an openly queer story it was just airing on NBC #from 2013-2015 #so they couldn't #but even that wasn't planned until later on like it wasn't MEANT to be queer from the beginning #i have said before this show healed a part of my soul #sorry guys i'm emo today! #cricket chirps #just like. i knew they kissed when i STARTED the show and even then i refused to look at the obviously romantic scenes as romantic!!! #because so many fucking shows play it off as a joke or use it as queerbait or WHATEVER #ofmd #our flag means death #5k

Soulsborne games are the gayest thing on Earth

We all love to talk smack about AAA studios doing queer rep wrong, but FromSoft actually gets what's up. Dark Sun Gwyndolin? Genderfuck and proud.

Darkmoon Knightess? In lesbians with Gwyndolin.

Chaos Witch Quelaag? Yes.

Lucatiel of Mirrah? She will be missed...

Sirris of the Sunless Realms? Point me to one straight woman who dresses like that.

Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower? You try and tell me whether there's any heterosexual explanation for her cutscene.

Emma the Gentle Blade? Yeah, she can gently step on me.

Melina? She sticks with you throughout pretty much the entire journey and gives you her ride as a welcoming gift.

Ranni the Witch? You can (and should) marry her.

Malenia, Blade of Miquella? You will witness true beauty.

TL;DR: women are fucking awesome and so are Soulsborne games. Be gay for women.
