this is how i feel
💖 the Queen and King from Chess are girlboss and malewife! 💖
fuck a “formerly gifted child” i literally never stopped… if you put me in a primary school classroom i would still to this day be incredibly smart for a 12 year old
To be a better writer…
Keep your old work, even if you know you’re going to hate it years down the road. Not only is it personal proof that you’ve improved, but a lot of the ideas might be worth a second attempt at, or you can pick the piece back up and work toward a final draft after some intense editing.
your ships are not progressive just bc theyre gay. a het couple of color in love with no struggle nd no violence is inherently more progressive than any gay ship that involves a white character. nd a gay ship btwn two characters that hate each other or have a clear unbalanced power dynamic in canon isnt more progressive than a het couple where the man is openly empathetic, understanding, nd both partners are equals
like ik we joke abt hetties but healthy f/m relationships are important to bc straight trans ppl exist nd bisexuals in f/m relationships exist. not to mention when u factor in race………like black children don’t see healthy examples of love that features ppl like them regardless of their sexuality not to mention this ‘ship anything as long as its gay’ mentality is hurting the lgbt community bc yall STAY shipping gross power dyanmics nd age gaps nd normalizing fucked up shit. nd dont even get me started on how yall hate to see two lgbt characters of color together……….
alternatively I do think it’s funny to be like
Villain: fool! the prophecy says that no man may kill me!
Trans Man Hero: *ineffectual stabbing*
Trans Man Hero: okay so like. the prophetic acknowledgement of my gender is good but also. very inconvenient right now.
