Just realised that this coming Valentine's Day is the first time I will be spending it single in fifteen years.

And of the past fifteen years of my life, I have been single for a grand total of less than six months.

No wonder I was so fucking desperate to get away from everything, to move to the other side of the world and leave behind everyone I loved. I need the time to be me. I need the space to work out who I am without feeling obliged to be the person someone else needs me to be. I need to figure out who I am for myself, without someone telling me who I am.

#chough chatterings #i'm still sad about breaking up with my ex and i miss him a lot #i know it was the right choice but that doesn't make it easier #i used to think i was lucky before for finding someone new so quickly. for being able to move on in the blink of an eye #now i know better

I don't say this lightly, but to get better at writing you have to get more comfortable with rereading your own work. It's, unfortunately, obvious when someone won't reread their work to check for flow or mistakes. It's not cringey, it's your work, it's from you, it's great! It could be even better! Just. Read it. Please.

#greye talks #i used to not be able to face my own stuff #and it suffered for it #now i know better #but its part of growth #its part of artistic learning #to face the cringe and tell it it has no power over you anymore

So we finished 'The Last of Us' last night.

I was really hopeful that it wasn't going to be yet another zombie show, mostly because there's been a saturation zombie related properties over the last 15-ish years.

But instead...

Fuck.

Yeah, this is a show about exploring who we are in dire circumstances. What truths we tell ourselves and others, and what lies we tell.

When everything is broken, who are we? When we are broken, what will we do? What are our motivations? What, if anything, do we owe each other? What does survival look like for each person?

#the last of us #i never played the game #mostly because i thought it was largely horror with a decent narrative #now i know better

Sounds like you were pretty ignorant then if you didn’t have all the mass of super explicit and easy to see racism and Jew hate in hp. She literally says black people are inferior, Asian girls are objects, and goblin bankers are like jews word for word in the books.

Well, first off, I was about three years old when the first book came out and about seven when the first movie came out. I grew up on the movies and I didn't have anyone in my life to tell me there was something wrong.

I will admit back then that I was pretty ignorant, not intentionally mind you, but I grew up in a middle class white christian family with pretty moderate parents. I didn't hit any road bumps in that until I started getting into things like heavier rock, explored more adult movies and books than I was allowed access to at home, and got to experience some bad shit in my life. I also came out as bi when I was 12 and got bullied out of my church for it.

I didn't really have any clue about the world until about age twelve, that's when I started to learn about what is actually going on in our world.

I didn't learn about how bad the books were until I was eighteen and at the time I was so enthralled with the fandom that I let it slide thinking that it was just a fantasy book, what people were seeing was just them putting their bs onto HP.

I didn't get it until I was twenty and then actively started talking against the antisemitism and racism in HP on my HP blogs. I was coming up with my own magic schools that fought against these issues and I thought I could take the good from HP and make it less shitty with her views and morals. I still participated within the community but distanced myself from the source material.

I was 26 when JKR started her bigotted bullshit on twitter, and that was the final straw for me. As someone who is genderfluid, all her anti trans bs hit me hard. I had realized at that point I had been making excuses for far too long just to be part of the community I had made so many friends in and enjoyed so much as a kid.

After that I sold off most of my HP books and merch, I actively avoid buying anything HP, I inform others of her bs that are still deep into HP, I shut down my HP blogs, and I cut off the rotted branch of Harry Potter and JKR that I had left. I don't even watch the movies anymore.

TLDR: I admit to being ignorant to the issues when I was growing up on it, but once I learned I started distancing myself from the source material and advocting the issues. After the trans stuff I cut it off completely.

#never really had an ask like this #thought i should explain #people can start ignorant and learn their mistakes #i was just a kid when hp started who loved magic #now i know better

when i was a kid i wanted to be a famous youtuber like dan and phil so that people would gay ship me with my irl best friend and we would be sooo weirded out by it and laugh and make videos joking about it but secretly it would make her realize her repressed gay crush on me and i'd help her through her gay crisis and then we would have a sickeningly sweet sappy romance and read fanfiction about ourselves together... anyways just found out she's married to a guy in the mafia now so i probably don't have a chance

#dan and phil fanfiction changed me #come into my lady door #and teen me saw that and went “i need to be that so fuckan bad”#i wanted to be dan but now that im a mature adult i understand that phil is better. phil guy 5ever nowadays #do i tag this as dan and phil. i still dont know tumblr site tagging norms and im like a year in now #dan and phil #dnp #phan

we'll do fine.

#fionna and cake spoilers #what hits me a little is how similar fionna and simon's stories are in the case of finding nuance in their lives #when both have gone through their separate but still valid pain no matter the extent it had been #and its that they met each other they get to see how it compares and they're no less worth of the peace and fun they dreamed of #even in the form of simplicity and just being normal #“i wouldn't have met THE fionna and cake” “we wouldn't have met THE simon petrikov”#it hits me harder that after the dandelion scene would've been their last time seeing each other physically #and how assuring simon sounded when fionna didn't know what to do with the literal world in her hands #tho im sure prismo isnt that much of a rule jerk lol i still drew out the revelation anyway with this tiniest addition #also the fact fionna's world is influenced by simon's thought processes and conditions so now things are a little better for both of them #fionna the human #fionna campbell #simon petrikov #qiiarts #the lil flashback of #betty grof #fionna and cake #adventure time

yesterday I went to a little meeting at my local queer community center and I was admiring their bookshelves and mentioned that I work at the public library and someone said "well I bet they don't have any [LGBTQ+ books] at our library" and I was like um. yes we do. we have tons of them. half of our employees are queer leftists so they said "oh well I bet they don't in [nearby rural county]" and I was like uh once again yes they absolutely do. gay people live and work there as well

so here's a quick reminder that if you don't think your local library has enough queer centered materials you should actually check before assuming, and if you're not satisfied with their collection you should submit a request for more such books. I don't know what the political landscape of libraries looks like outside the us rn, but within the us no matter where you are, I promise you there are employees at your library fighting for inclusion and intellectual freedom and they can't win without vocal public support

#literally maddening thing to hear #we were fucking at pride this year #i know missouri is a hell hole but there are people working really fucking hard to make it better and we could use some support here #just fucking go to your local libraries website right now literally right this second #and look around #you may be shocked at the stuff you discover there

Maybe gender is like a cult--a community with its own beliefs, signs, rituals, and costuming to which each member subscribes to different degrees.

And some people, inducted at birth, never realize they are in a cult and never question it.

Some, question, but do not see how they could ever leave (even if they wish to).

Some realize they are in a cult, but realize also they are happy with their placement.

Some are loose in their affiliation, but still consider themselves members, others love every sign and costume, but don't consider themselves members most of the time or at all.

Some are weird about it and get really into the beliefs and everything to the point they condemn anyone who isn't as hardline as they are as not really belonging.

And some people leave, either for another cult or for none at all.

#cis thoughts on gender #very happy in the cult i was inducted into at birth #even if i don't always ascribe to every ritual of it #once upon a time i feared i'd get kicked out because of that #now i know better #gender

Both the hunger games before and now the ballad of songbirds and snakes proves that the young adult genre can produce some genuinely good storytelling while also examining social issues without talking down to its audience, which makes the ungodly amount of popular bad ya novels all the more embarrassing.
