can i just say that you and your fanfiction are literally the reason I started watched rottmnt?
I'm crying so hard, this is so sweet. Everyone here has been way to kind to me, y'all are everything to me. I hope you're not disappointed lol. I'm glad I could share something I love with you and you like it enough to check out the original material.
Y'all. I love hosting parties. I'm having such a good time picking up grocery orders, going on a hunt for birthday treats that go with my lil gold theme, cleaning my house, and even the admin managing of parking, allergies, etc. I need to remember this. Even for just a couple people, a lil dinner party would perk my ass up.

Here’s a fluffy fill for the @dreamlingbingo prompt C2 - Disability, going the chronic pain route, cuz sometimes the pain just can’t be muddled through.
I follow you because I like to come here when I'm feeling more sub than dom and your blog is 🔥🔥🔥 plus you reblog a lot of mens positivity posts. I don't see them that much and they really help with my self esteem sometimes tbh
😍😍 I love when you boys feel all subby!!! And I love that you like to come here when you feel that way 💜 Thanks for thinking of me and my blog when you're all cute and subby. I feel honored 💜
THANK YOU NONNY FOR FOLLOWING ME 🥰💜 I appreciate you!
And... THANK YOU for feeling like you can come here for body positivity. I know there's A LOT of preaching out there about female body positivity, but we don't see enough about male body positivity, and it's just as important. Men have those same feelings and doubts that women do. And those feelings AND YOU are just as valid 😘 And if you are a mutual, know that my messages are always open and I'm always down to hype you up if you need it or if you need a kind word.
As a reminder that good exists out there, a coworker recently confessed to me that he found out his child is questioning their identity (kid's gender redacted for this post). The kid is keeping it from him, so he can't say anything to them or show that he knows, but he's doing his best to get mentally prepared and educated so that he'll be ready whenever his kid does feel comfortable enough come to him.
For context, this guy is a big, bulky middle aged dude who loves sports and typical outdoor "manly" activities. As his coworker and friend, I know he's a kind and sweet teddy bear of a person, but his kid probably views him as a stern, authoritarian figure, the way most teenagers view their parents. His family lives in a conservative area, so I'm sure between that, their dad's looks and interests, and the fact that their dad is a Figure of Authority, the kid is worried that they won't be accepted.
But you know what? When he found out about his kid, the first thing he did was reach out to his closest queer friend and ask for resources for parents of questioning children. His biggest fears are that his kid will be bullied or discriminated against and won't feel comfortable enough to be themself. His second action was to find himself a mentor in another parent who went the same situation (kid coming out in a conservative town). The other person is preparing him for some of the struggles his kid may face and the fights he may need to take on as a parent to make sure his kid is safe and treated well.
Something I want to emphasize for people focused on language as the primary method of allyship is that when we spoke, he used some outdated terms and thoughts about gender and sexuality. That does not make him bad. These were the terms and thinking used about questioning teenagers when he was growing up and he never needed to learn more current ones. But now that he does have that need, he's throwing himself in head first because that's his kid and he's darn well going to make sure that his kid feels welcomed and has a safe place to be themselves even if they never come out to him.
