a lot of his set is funded by Netflix and he probably didn’t have the final decision. im not sticking up for him but im not going to blame him either.
i’ve been a fan of johns for about 3 to 4 years now and as a trans person myself it was very heartbreaking to read what DC said at the Ohio show on Friday. (i am NOT a DC fan).
again, johns show is funded by Netflix, meaning, he possibly, didn’t get a final say in the matter of who opened for him. john has many LGBT fans and i know him to be very supportive.
i had the pleasure of seeing him an hour away from where i live and he was very kind.
at no point has john ever made transphobic or homophobic jokes or comments (that i know of) and i do my research on people very throughly.
DC is a local resident of where john was performing so it was probably easier to get DC on stage rather than a starter.
when i saw john, a local (new comedian) opened for him. that being said, since DC is a local, he was probably the easiest choice.
one article said “Phones and recording devices were prohibited at the event—almost as if Mulaney or whoever coordinated Chappelle’s surprise appearance knew how much justified backlash his anti-LGBTQ and particularly anti-trans bullying would draw.”
^^ THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. ^^
really? you have no evidence of john being transphobic and homophobic that you had to say, he purposely prohibited phone and recording devices? most shows like this and every one of johns shows, DONT allow recording devices. just because DC was opening, does not mean he prohibited phones for that show only.
i understand mulaney hugged DC anderwards. sure, he was wrong for that, i will admit, but if someone opened for you (who made anti-() jokes) would you ignore them when they expect a hug? yes, you would. or are you agreeing because you don’t know what it’s like?
think about it: you’re a famous face. many LGBT fans, a transphobic and homophobic person says a few things, you see them in public, and they (in the same business as you) expect a hug. you’re in public, people are watching. are you gonna turn them down when they can make a scene? or are you gonna hug them and get it over with? i chose the latter. sure, you still may not agree. your opinion.
knowing john, he’s very friendly with other comedians and has knowledge and history of who they are. mulaney obviously knows DC and Chappelle is very famous for making these types of jokes.
about DCs joke in Ohio on Friday night, he talked about a gun that identifies as a knife… haha, real funny.
the reason why DC was making this joke was to make fun of his attacker who charged at him after he got fed up with DCs joke. DC told the crowd immediately after the attack, “that was a trans man.” i don’t see why that matters.
DC could have approached this gun/knife situation a different way. why make an anti-trans joke?
read Isaiah Lees reasoning of attack and thoughts here.
back to Mulaney. that’s who this is about, right?
did john have a say in who opened for him? i don’t think so.
a memo sent out by Netflix to its staff states “"You should also be aware that some talent may join third parties in asking us to remove the show in the coming days, which we are not going to do. Chappelle is one of the most popular stand-up comedians today, and we have a long-standing deal with him. His last special Sticks & Stones, also controversial, is our most watched, stickiest and most award-winning stand-up special to date. As with our other talent, we work hard to support their creative freedom - even though this means there will always be content on Netflix some people believe is harmful."” since DC is very popular on Netflix (and they have a deal with him), AND his most controversial set is the most award winning and most viewed, Netflix may have found it suitable to hire DC for johns Ohio set. the quote also says they work hard to support others creative freedom.
so did mulaney talk about DC with Netflix? did mulaney plan for DC to be at his show? who knows?
you don’t know celebrities personal lives. quit acting like you do.

Ever since the comics described the bees relationship I’ve been seeing people saying they’re retconning it by adding the gay. Or maybe, just like barb said bees were popular because it was written that way & since it’s not hetero no one picked up on it until volume 6. So they’re not retconning anything & if Kerry himself said its canon (& im guessing he line they did with Scarlett & coco told her that they’re lgbt).
Look, at this point you have to be like fuck ‘em when it comes the anti-bee crowd. They’ve made up their minds already and nothing’s gonna change that. We could get explicit confirmation that the bees have been the plan since volume two or even from the beginning and they’d still act like we forced them to do it or that they’re lying about it. It doesn’t matter how many times we talk about how there’s been buildup since volume 1. It doesn’t matter how much the crew talks it up. It doesn’t matter that canon content outside of the show adds to their development. They’ll still act like it came out of nowhere.
So, it’s best to just ignore them. The show’s made it very clear that the bees are endgame (and the buildup in the show reflects that) and nothing the anti bee crowd says will change that.

what is queerbating? & how is tay doing it? sorry i’m not very educated on these things 😕
queerbaiting is.. well: it‘s alluring members of the lgbt+ community into taking interest into your product (music, movie, tv show, even clothes and general items) through hinting at queer content without explicitly confirming that queer content (ex. you hint at a character being gay without actually confirming it - idk an example could be chandler from friends? he always appreciated guys and made sexual comments about them but he always backtracked and it was never confirmed of him being bi or gay etc)
and basically taylor used the bi flags a lot - in cookies, bracelettes, pictures, but especially wearing it in the yntcd video - she also wore a whole outfit for a performance appropriating the gay flag [im gonna post it under this paragraph], she put herself with a whole cast made of lgbt members in the yntcd video (think about the scene where there are the anti lgbt protesters insulting her and lgbt people: she was in the middle of the line of lgbt ppl - the only two other allies in the video were put outside the lgbt scenes ex ryan reynolds) sang at stonewall during pride month and she not only let people speculate her sexuality (actual newspapers not just twitter users) but also she liked posts speculating on her sexuality, just to ‘come out’ as straight in the recent vogue interview
Tumblr media
this is the outfit
i hope it’s understandable bc i’m really tired and can’t keep my eyes open lmao

Oh fuck i cant stand this
Ive already almost used up my damn mobile data again and i only bought it yesterday. Fuck i want to go home. You guys are like the only comfort i have here and i dunno what im gonna do when i cant message you again
Fuckin hell stupid shit day! I was supposed to go to a therapy class thing today but the stupid bus went past where my abusive father lives and i had a MASSIVE FREAKOUT and had to go home and then ofcourse to go home you have to go back on the stupid same bus!! I fuckib failed and wasted the doctor's time and he had to grab me to stop me from running off the bus crying and back to fuckin hell dad's house because im shit and i deserve everything he ever did to me
AND THEN fuckin same doctor continues the relentless constant tide of everyone misgendering me and making crass transphobic jokes
"You see you've gotta understand the other opinion" he says, as if trans people werent fuckin raised SURROUNDED by cis people's predjudiced opinion of us and taught it was fact. As if it didnt take me SO MUCH WORK to even become confident enough to stand up for myself! I've gotta see the 'other opinion' that "yknow well families and children use public bathrooms and theyre scared trans people will molest their children so its understandable they want to kick you out or even act violent to you". Yknow the OTHER OPINION that MY OPINION DOESNT MATTER and also MY ENTIRE EXISTANCE IS A CRIME but i'm the one being predjudiced for not accepting that OPINION, right?! Im here trying to tell him that no that isnt rational because there have been LITERALLY NO RECORDED CASES of trans people molesting children in public bathrooms, or even "evil men faking being trans" to do the same thing. There's been more cases of actual cis men breaking into women's bathrooms to drag women out for merely LOOKING trans. More cis women have been harassed because of anti trans laws than they ever did before! But hey "respect that other opinion", right? And also "at least its not as bad as russia" and "but gay pride is everywhere now, that one footballer had rainbow shoelaces." Hey wow i never noticed that not only was homophobia totally over but also transphobia was remotely related to that! Wow! I seriously had to bring out the fuckin 1600s historical investigation on pre-british olde englishe that showed the existance of a gender neutral pronoun before the word "he" ever existed, and the existance of transgender pride and pronoun discussions in the 1800s before the word transgender was even popularized. I cant believe i fuckin had to do a 'show your sources that queer people existed before the internet' IN REAL LIFE. WITH A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL. I can point at the damn NHS website but nooooo!
Oh and yknow what got me the most? YKNOW WHAT GOT ME THE MOST?? "We have sick people here, you cant expect them to remember stuff like that. Dont ruin their recovery by bringing up stuff like that." Like..fuckin..IM A FUCKIN PATIENT TOO. I wasnt even asking the other patients to stop hurting me i was asking you the staff to maybe consider it! And seriously you want me to be so super ultra perpetually prepared and perpetually rational and able to keep my existance secret and out of every conversation yet theyre too ill to learn about lgbt people existing? Just a sentence would be too painful? And me living every day being misgendered doesnt impact my ability to recover at all, eh? Fuckin shitting fuck hell.
And i hate it i HATE IT because he's being nice so i'll be the bad guy if i complain. Likehe fuckin..doesnt even know he's being rude and doesnt want to consider the idea. He says 'i dont like your tone' if i suggest the concept and FUCK in that moment i was so fuckin scared he was gonna hit me like my dad did. Or at tge very least kick me out of the hospital if i dont cooperate with him. He just fuckin..thinks he's perfectly unbiased and accepts everyone and "oh but i like to make fun of everyone equally". And i even fuckin raised the subject that people who say that often only make fun of minorities and never themselves, the majority, or major power structures. And he's just like 'yeah yeh i hate people like that'. Whoosh. Rigjt over the head. God i wasnt even TRYING to be passive aggressive i was trying tk outright tell him why what he said was upsetting me but NOPE. Trying to explain how its just so hard and tiring to have to verrrrrry patientlyyyyy explain yourself to EVERYONE EVERY DAY CONSTANTLY while they sling loads of rude words at you and it should be just allowed because they 'dont know better'. Like you ask me to educate you but at the same time im rude if i actually tell you?? And god i also tried to explain how the fuckin bathroom violence thing isnt an example of 'educating another opinion' AGAIN by saying like... If someone just asked me to explain being transgender i would. If someone just said they were uncomfortable i would leave. That's 'another opinion'. Reacting with slurs and violence to a trans person existing and not doing anything to you is not 'another opinion' and its not someone who 'just didnt know'. He was seriously trying to argue that it WASNT BIGOTED it was just someone rationally being afraid for their children because of a danger that doesnt exist, and rationally reacting with extreme violence rather than doing anything else. Rationally. RATIONALLY. oh just MISTAKENLY committing a hate crime! Cos they just didnt know trans people exist! Not cos they hate us! Oh no! Yeah sure we totally have a fucking DUTY to educate these POOR UNKNOWING PEOPLE while theyre attacking us, and its our damn fault if we didnt...
And just fucking FUCK i hate how someone can say all that stuff and still be "nice" and still not hate me personally? Like its so messed up?? He's not anti trans or anything he just has so much more damn sympathy for cis people than trans people, and puts all the onus on us to somehow prevent our own murders. And he thinks that "i dont have a problem with trans people" means doing LITERALLY NOTHING to change your behaviour to make trans people feel accepted. They should just magically know that your jokes are jokes when theyre surrounded by so many people saying it honestly, in CONSTANT FEAR OF THAT EXACT THING LEADING TO VIOLENCE. And like in order to be "a guy who has no problem with trans people" he has to do nothing, while in order for me to be not bigoted against HIM it means i have to never get offended by his jokes and also never talk about myself and also constantly educate him about things because he doesnt want to learn, even though he works in a hospital thats supposed to have an anti discrimination policy. Like fuckin just NOT HURTING LGBT PEOPLE doesnt make you discrimination free, shit like telling me to misgender myself because my pronouns would confuse the other patients is kinda fuckin fucked up. Also "that's a question for later" is all i CONSTANTLY get when it comes to talking about legal name changes or therapy or even just talking to an lgbt support group. I have to wait until i stop being depressed because oh no im talking about too many mental illnesses at once. Its been seven years and i havent fuckin stopped being depressed, bitch! Ever consider a fuckin symptom of gender dysphoria is a big ol fat depression!!! And just gahhhhh he was so fuckin baffled and angry that i would dare to get emotional about the subject?? Like he just saw DEBATING WHETHER TRANS PEOPLE ARE REAL and WHETHER PEOPLE WHO MURDER THEM FOR USING THE BATHROOM ARE JUSTIFIED as a perfectly normal casual discussion that a Non Transphobic Man could have with his transgender friend. Why oh why would i cry about this casual hypothetical discussion? Hey its not like it fuckin affects me directly! "Well its never happened to you right?" A Ha Ha Ha Ha. Also fuckin "so which bathroom do you use?" and "well you're not really transgender if youre not getting the surgery-oh wait you do want the surgery? How does that work then?" I swear i could just see the gears turning in his head and he was about to say "do you want both down there". Gahhhhhh *cringes myself into a tiny tumbleweed and blows away*
Also the entire time he kept calling being trans a sexuality and also asexuality. "No youre not trans youre asexual right?" Yeah sure ive just been saying im trans and saying im not a girl and wearing a chest binder and talking this entire conversation about my experiences as a trans person in public bathrooms just to pull an elaborate prank on you. And like i know what he meant is that he thought the word for nonbinary was asexual (has asexuality REALLY made so little progress towards getting into the sex ed curriculum in the entire 25 years of my life?) But like seriously he was like "youre not really trans if youre nonbinary". And then fuck dude i dont wanna explain how surgery works to you!! And especially not also my entirely unrelated sexuality that has entirely different equally upsetting predjudices!
Ans gahhhh fuck i just got no sympathy for crying and he acted as if it was just some wildly unexpected occurance he never could have predicted. And i hate it cos he's nice to me whenever the subject is about anything else. I cant get any symoathey from ANYONE because he's A NICE GUY and why dont i just understaaaaaand other opinionnnnnns
I wanted to fuckin quit this whole thing on the spot and go home. Only reason i cant is because my support worker is off work until thursday auauauaughhh
Fuck at least one positive i guess is that ive made progress in the social anxiety or at least gotten better at giving the impression im making progress. Cos i want to LEAVE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. And also fuck all my other worries seem less suicide-inducing when im actually getting the closest ive ever been to killing myself on a daily basis because of a stupid other thing that i never could have predicted. Go here for one form of self hate, come home with another! Yayyyyy
And fuck i havent even made a single bit of progress on drawing or writing anything and i cant practise making ganes cos my laptop cant run rpgmaker and i havent even started reading my giant pile of books cos they fuckin LOOK THROUGH THE WINDOW EVERY SINGLE HOUR TO MAKE SURE YOU AINT KILLED YOURSELF. i have no fuckin pribacy and its making me wanna kill myself even more!! I just live constantly on edge looking at the fuckin door window and i cant even do anything to distract myself because im too scared of them looking at me!! Or barging in at no notice to tell me i have to do some big stressful thing RIGHT NOW because i dont even get advance notice of anything aaaa! And fuck i dont have anywhere to go to even calm down from a panic attack cos i have no privacy so at least im getting over being scared of going outside cos outside is the only place i can go to cry. Fuckin strangers in the crowd at least wont cause shit if they see me.
Fuck i want to go home. Fuck i wish i had enough money to keep buying mobile internet. Its like fuckin 750mb a day to run tumblr but its all ive got to talk to any person who doesnt hate me or patronize me or think im faking a bunch of shit or whatever the fuck. And im not even any fun to be around when im like this so im probably just ruining your day too. And im probably gonna vanish again soon and then just go back to crying alone and getting worse and probably never being able to leave
I knew it was gonna be stressdul but i didnt predict any of this.. I just wanna fuckin die. I wanted to jump out the car and go to my old dad's house and have him pull open the door and slap me around a bit. Like call me a fucking dyke, call me a sick retard, be honest about your feelings! I'd fuckin take being abused over this "oh youre the bad one for being mad because i had goooood intentions" reverse psychology bigotry from hell. Either these people are evil geniuses or theyre even more stupid like me. Fuckin shit dad please manifest in my room and slap me, killing me instantly. I feel like being scared of you would at least be a faster emotion than this nebulous sensation of confusing unease and dysphoria 24/7 for 6 fuckin months. One week done, haha! Hahahabahahahahahahahahahahahahshahahahahahshshshahshahahahhahahaaaa

“Idk what’s funnier The KS fans scouring the anti KS tag looking for...”
sea por puro morbo que se asoman al anti ks tag, pero cuánta inseguridad deben de tener para defender una historia que es imposible de defender?
Im gonna reply to this in english so that others can understand and i’ll start this LONG post by citing from an acquaintance’s blog: 
Anonymous asked: what do you think about ppl who enjoy ks but acknowledge that it features a sexually and emotionally abusive relationship and enjoy the story but reject the notion of celebrating the actual relationship or sangwoo as a character? like they hate sangwoo or they might think he's a well written character but a shitty person? just curious bc i know there are ks blogs like that which idk if i should hate[…]same anon who asked about ks blogs that condemn the abusive relationship in ks. i just wanted to add ppl who want bum safe at the end of ks and who see the story as a condemnation of abuse itself
I see where you’re coming from with this but ks is not ~problematic~ media. It is garbage through and through. As someone who has read it, you as a reader are supposed to sympathize with the relationship at some points, it’s kind of emotional whiplash.
The story is barely there honestly. The first two chapters are about how Bum ended up where he is but every chapter after that is just constant violence and pain to not only Bum but to women and other gay men as well. The only thing keeping people reading is how fascinating we, as a society, find abuse. People are drawn to it and this author knows it. The torture is the only “interesting” part and it’s all the story relies on. The people who read it may not consciously condone the relationship but they’re still consuming media wherein the entertainment relies solely on the suffering of a mentally ill gay man.
I had a conversation w/ Dipper after some idiot mikayuu shipper kept coming after them on anon with really nasty messages that were just blatantly insecure about how Dipper condemned Mikayuu as incestuous. So I talked to Dipper and I told them how I ship *problematic* stuff like Mikayuu, but even so it was wrong of that anon to be so rabidly aggressive, and because people are in fact allowed to criticise *problematic content* and point out things that make them uncomfortable/things that display flagrantly awful themes and imagery. 
And I hope every “anti anti” out there knows that the convo was perfectly cordial and productive after we left it at that. Thing is that these kind of ppl don’t get is that it’s not about it being fictional, it’s about how you consume media, how it shapes your views and tastes, cultivation theory, and how you respond to it. What you as a consumer are ok with seeing/what you want to see. This is why *problematic* faves are a thing, because i don’t hear ppl saying to automatically cancel everything prior to 2009 just because of the abundance of disgusting things like rape and gore in them, just that there should be an awareness of how media is now handled, created, consumed, and discussed--not only that, but to display more empowering and positive content across all genres, dark or not, now that we have the tools to do so properly. Nobody’s out there demanding things like cancelling reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer; just pointing out how awful characters like Spike and Xander are and how Joss Whedon’s Male Feminist™ views coloured the creation of Buffy.  
KS is not an example of this because, like Dipper said, there’s nothing *problematic* about it in the first place: it is unmitigated garbage through and through. 
It is solely about an author pandering to the thirstiest yaoi fans and playing with their fascination for abuse. The story is rooting for the “relationship” between Sangwoo and Bum, it puts Bum into explicitly humiliating sexual situations for the purpose of sexually arousing the audience; it puts him into harms’ way such as having his legs broken, being slapped and hit, nearly drowned, and even raped to the point of experiencing anal bleeding. Sangwoo’s repugnant mommy issues are displayed by blatantly homophobic/gender essentialist views by forcing Bum to wear women’s clothing and even buying them for him when they’re out shopping, making him do his housework, frequently commenting on Bum’s “feminine” qualities, always wanting to have sex from behind in a dominant position, referring to himself as the “husband” in the pair (gag), and even vomiting out of disgust after Bum asks if he can receive oral sex from him. 
The “relationship” is all about how a serial killer/rapist--a monster--manipulates and hurts his captive into needing his attention, and preying on his mental illness and insecurities in order to keep himself safe from the attention of the authorities and then (as so many fans are apparently hoping for!) to mould his captive into his accomplice by hinting and prodding him about his abusive uncle. 
For all the fans that protest about being painted as disgusting, who argue they like it for the “plot” and “psychological elements” and “dark theming,” they’re bullshitting. There are plenty of dark and psychological series out there that don’t market themselves on the appeal of an abusive m/m dynamic. There are plenty of m/m series that discuss difficulties in the relationship/show explicit sex without them playing up the looks and “brooding danger” of a sadistic murderer. And so far, all of these people who claim to like it for the “plot” have had as much porn of Bum in female underwear/of being fucked as their fellow fans, salivating over Sangwoo’s muscles, sledgehammer memes, fawning over Sangwoo calling himself the “husband,” posting excited reaction faces whenever Bum is raped they have sex. They hypocritically scorn the lgbt people/abuse survivors who object to Killing Stalking while holding up their token gay/abused fans and egg them on into heaping trash talk onto the others for spoiling their fun. I seriously doubt KS would even be half as popular and get such a defense if the relationship was m/f or f/f.  
And for me, the last straw was when one of the most prominent KS fans turned out to be a disgusting transphobe who supports nonsensical American bathroom laws under the guise of “protecting real women” as well as reblogging from honest to god paedophiles--sorry, I mean “minor attracted persons.”
I’m down to watching and consuming dark, problematic media. I even have a nsfw tag here on my main and have discussed imagery like explicit sex and and violence and death with fellow authors and bloggers here. And I’m not scouring the tags (unlike some people) for “anti x” content to start fights over. It’s ludicrous for others to suggest that objecting to media like that is always born out of puritanism. But KS isn’t *problematic* nor does it deserve a defense--it is pandering to the lowest common denominator and making a buck off of people solely because yaoi makes them hard and they’re still acting like 13 year olds who think consuming violence makes something edgy.

I have such mixed feelings when it comes to hets and Love Simon and maybe it's because I labeled myself straight until not so long ago (can I say label? IDK. I considered myself straight. I'm not.), but...While they surely can relate to this movie and these characters in some ways, I don't believe they fully understand some situations. Like, I don't think I do either, and here's why: I understand the fear of being outed and I sometimes feel so afraid when I think about what that would mean (1/9)
for me, but also, at the same time, no one knows, no one assumes, no one cares. I have full control over it, and I know some people don’t. So my fear of being outed is pretty much hypothetical. So, yeah, for a het… even as an empath, it’s a stretch to say that you feel the same thing they do if you’re not going through a similar thing… listening is a very important part of the process and some of them (hets) aren’t ready to have an honest dialogue. A lot of them get defensive when they’re called out for some homophobic actions or fetishization… Most of them don’t realize it, or deny it by finding ways to “relate”, finding queer friends both online and in rl, and shipping queer characters. The reason I said I have mixed feelings is that I did originally believe some should stop saying that Love Simon isn’t for straight people… I believe the target audience are queer people. BUT. What queer people should take from this movie is very much different from what straight people should take. This is a movie straight people can learn so much from. They can see on the big screen how some of their behavior can impact queer people around them… it can open their eyes in a way most of the media they consume nowadays can’t. Learning to understand someone’s else’s feelings and looking at things from different perspective other than your own isn’t the same as “I know how that feels” and a lot of people don’t get that.
(sorry, i took A LOT of what you said out because i have just… really bad anxiety about having big things/too many words/too many pictures on my blog, and I didn’t want to end up impulsively deleting it before you were able to see my answer. but i did read it all and am NEVER trying to purposely edit your words or anything it was just gonna drive my anxiety up the wall if i posted it like that, im sorry) my answer is below the cut
I think Love Simon is for everybody. I can’t speak for all, but I definitely think anybody can take something away from it if they want to. I think it’s important for anybody to see that holding somebody’s secret above their head and using it as debt is harmful, hurtful and never gets you what you want.
although I am a gay teen, not out and had to struggle through high school with my parents not knowing my sexuality, I found it hard to relate to simon a lot of the time. I didn’t have/don’t have a lot of what he has. but I still recognize the movie/book’s importance for a lot of viewers, and I still related to things simon struggles with.
what I’m really saying in my post and this answer, is that you can’t… tell other people what to and not to take away from a book or movie. this movie is one of the first lgbt heavily anticipated movies targeted towards teens. people are allowed to be excited about it and just because it doesn’t relate to the majority, doesn’t mean its hype is invalid.
I think what bothers me the most is straight people shutting down/talking over lgbt individuals when they express their opinions. the lgbt community isn’t anti-straight, we don’t hate people because of their sexuality but we do hate hets trying to act like they’re the ones being oppressed because one (1) film wasn’t all about them. they don’t have to be interested, they don’t have to like it. but do not tell lgbt individuals how to feel about a movie targeted towards them or twist the things that make this movie lgbt into something generic that “everybody feels”.

Know Your History aka Here’s Why You’re Wrong aka Thanks, Dan!
It’s amusing to me when people who are new to the fandom and don’t fully understand the festering cesspool that is Teen Wolf fandom, do the barest amount of research into the drama and THEN create elaborate defenses to validate their stanning. 
I’ve accepted that Sterek fandom is still very much a threat to Teen Wolf and to their general Scott McCall / Tyler Posey stanning collective and because of that they like to make giant posts filled with lies and misconceptions to make Sterek look like we’re the villains. 
The good thing is that all you have to do is click around the comments or do even the bare minimum of research and their arguments fall apart.  The bad news is that so many new stans won’t do this. 
I started watching the show spring of 2014, I was into the fandom by that June and I was a full fledged Sterek by July.  I was a HUGE Posey fan and had loved him in Lincoln Heights and White Frog.  All of my fist fics were skittles or sour!skittles.
I’m telling you this to let you know that I get it.  As a woman of color, the opportunity to have a ship that consisted of a character of color was huge to me.  I didn’t understand why it seemed like Stereks hated Posey/Scott.  I knew vaguely about BWT, but at the time I was so much more involved with the way the show mistreated him, I shrugged it off as “crazy fans, mad because they didn’t get their ship”.  
Then I started interacting with some stereks because of the podcast and I would hear them reference things from a viewpoint I’d never even considered.  I went back and did the research and I found out about the true reason and fallout for BWT-gate, I found out about Jeff’s exoduc from Twitter, and the thing that tipped it for me?  Cookies4Sterek.  They LITERALLY ATE OUR COOKIES knowing full well they were going to screw us over royally in the coming seasons!
Anyhow, this isn’t entirely what this is about.  This is about knowing your history kids.  I was commenting on a post and of course a Posey stan came in talking about how Tyler Posey was sunshine and roses and blah blah blah, but then they gave their own reasons for why BWT wasn’t only not so bad, but in fact, was necessary.
justaddgigi: So that how it's works. You do gay charity work and make a few half assed apologies and that automatically erases all the homophobic shit you do.
tylerscottpupper: @justaddgigi If you honestly believe Posey is homophobic, you seriously need to open your eyes and explore him more. He wouldn't hurt a fly, much less be/do anything against the LGBT community. He had to apologize because a harmless statement was turned into a butchering knife by and to the LGBT community.
stickykeys633: Oh Scott stan, the irony of telling someone to do research on Posey. I  love the idea that we wouldn't jump at the chance of someone supporting LGBT. That we just misunderstood him and it's nothing to do with his pattern of homophobic behavior
tylerscottpupper: @stickykeys633 Pattern of homophobic behavior? I think you mean "the fandom perceived pattern of homophobic behavior." Posey has done nothing remotely homophobic. It is the fandom that twists it into being homophobic, which it is not. Not once has he said something negative about the LGBT community. He has made harmless jokes, which I'll reiterate, were turned into "insults" towards the community. So, yes, you are misunderstanding him. Horribly, I might add.
stickykeys633:  Bwt was not a harmless joke, fake coming out was not a harmless joke, trying to grab his friend's dicks or trying to shove their hands into his pants is not a joke. I know you think he's sweet but you honestly don't know him. And it takes more effort to excuse the things he does than to just admit he's got a lot of growing to do. He hurt people and he didn't apologize point blank. That makes him a dick and he'll be one until he changes.
tylerscottpupper:  @stickykeys633 BWT was not a joke, it was a thing that needed to be said. If you watch the show for just Sterek as Posey says, you are watching the show for the wrong reasons. It wasn't directed at the shippers. His coming out joke was personally funny to me, and I don't see how it could actually hurt anyone. (Im an out Bisexual myself.) Quite honestly, I do know him, far better than you do apparently. He is not homophobic, and even so, he made a 3 part apology on Twitter after making the lamp joke. He saw that people didn't catch the joke and were getting offended, so he apologized. So yes, he did apologize after "hurting people." (I reiterate, if you get hurt by a lamp/sexuality joke, toughen up.) I don't need to excuse him because he hasn't done anything wrong. The fandom is the one who skews everything he says into a personal attack.
To conclude: Posey is not homophobic in the slightest. BWT needed to happen because Sterek was poisoning the fandom. Nothing Posey has said has hurt anyone, period. In fact, what the fandom is saying/has said to him has hurt him far more than you think he is hurting us. (A point which had been proven even by his late mother.) His behavior is a little quirky, but that's just Posey. He's different, and that's partially why I love him.
Now let’s break this down:
BWT was not a joke, it was a thing that needed to be said. If you watch the show for just Sterek as Posey says, you are watching the show for the wrong reasons. It wasn't directed at the shippers.
No.  You can twist this into anything, but it’s simply not true.  There are no right or wrong reasons to watch a show.  Also, Posey’s statement was fueled by bitterness which automatically makes it suspect.  You think Posey cares about the lore?  He can’t get half of the fantasy elements right now, you think he actually cares about werewolf mythology?  Nope, he cares about the fact that people are watching a show with him in it and not for him. So even if he’s right, he’s still wrong. 
Also, shippers are viewers and they’re the ones he deemed not watching for the right reasons so OF COURSE the comment was aimed at them.  If not, then whom?  
His coming out joke was personally funny to me, and I don't see how it could actually hurt anyone. (Im an out Bisexual myself.)
Then my guess is your white and VERY closeted. 
Quite honestly, I do know him, far better than you do apparently.
Oh dear heart... you don’t. You know the part of yourself you see in him, sure, but that’s not the same thing.
he made a 3 part apology on Twitter after making the lamp joke. He saw that people didn't catch the joke and were getting offended, so he apologized.
No, he was told to apologize and only did it because he had to.  And that apology skated so far on the “I’m sorry you’re offended” line, I don’t even know if it was worth it. 
So yes, he did apologize after "hurting people." (I reiterate, if you get hurt by a lamp/sexuality joke, toughen up.)
Dictating the experiences and reactions of others based on nothing but your own limited view of the world?  Oh you are bright white and no one knows you’re bi.  I’m not even really going to touch to rest of that paragraph because that’s another post entirely on his own, but if you really think Posey is different, then you’re more sheltered than I thought.  He is the definition of typical, and that’s what makes him so sad.  
BWT needed to happen because Sterek was poisoning the fandom.
This is what I really want to talk about.  This idea that what Posey said was a response to mistreatment by stereks is WRONG WRONG WRONG.  Stereks poisoned the fandom?  Stereks BUILT THE TEEN WOLF FANDOM.  How many viewers do you know who saw OUR photosets, OUR fics, OUR gifsets, OUR drabbles, OUR meta and decided to watch the show?  Stereks literally brought them hundreds of thousands of new viewers and the show LOVED IT.
Y’all love to forget that the very first fanfic competition hosted by the show had a sterek fic as the winner.  You forget the endless articles that mentioned us from Entertainment Weekly, TV Guide, Backlot, Logo, The Advocate and so many more that brought more and more viewers into this show.  You forget the conversations between Greg Berlanti and Jeff Davis about how great Sterek was and how Greg was gonna steal it from Jeff (and god I wish he had).
You forget that RIGHT BEFORE poseygate, Stereks created the Sterek Campaign which raised over $7000 in Posey’s name.  That helped save actual wolves in California and purchased Posey a lifetime membership.  You forget the creation of Team Lionheart aka McHaleinski aka sour!skittles was a creation and effort of Stereks to show that even though we were stereks, we still love and respected Scott.  
And it was never enough.  Posey was feeling pressure from the network and losing control of his show so rather than fight tptb and risk losing his show, he decided to punch down.  He punched down, completely and shellshocked an entire base of shippers who were suddenly being told we were part of the problem.  We were told to leave and when we did, we still got blamed for everything else wrong with the show.  Posey never apologized and the show even gave us that award as a way to apologize without having to involve Posey, but as with anything messy, what goes around comes around and he couldn’t even do right for that.  Passing the trophy off not only to a fan, but to one of the most notorious SDCC anti Sterek fans out there. 
So while I understand that as a young bisexual you feel no one got hurt, I invite you to tell that to the thousands of people who did and the amount of people that STILL feel the effects of Poseygate and the shunning of the show.  Get out of your bubble and actually see this mess for what it is, or mind your business and shut up.  Either way, just do better.  
And encourage your boy to do the same.

Energy Potion
Tumblr media
Alan: Oh my god I’m dying.
Alan: End me guys. Just take my body and throw it in a hole six feet deep.
Melody: Stop complaining, it’s not that bad.
Bruce: Shut the fuck up and pass me more coffee.
Alan: Coffee. All I consume, all I taste. Is goddamn coffee.
Cleo: I don’t know about you guys IM DOING GREAT :D
Melody: Oh god I think she found where I hid her Monster.
Melody: Cleo no do you KNOW how bad that is for you?! Spring water. Deep breathing. That’ll get you through finals!
Alan: … On what planet do you live on?
Melody: The one where nature provides rather than artificial chemicals and manmade poison.
Bruce: Oh man I haven’t laughed this hard since… I can’t remember. More coffee. More coffee. My fingers are shaking so much and I still don’t have this paper done. Spellcheck thinks I’m developing Parkinson’s.
Cleo: Your fingers only JUST started shaking? D:
Melody: Your kids are all going to end up with ADHD.
!~*~!
Melody: I have decided my earlier statements may have been naïve.
Alan: Nooo, really?
Melody: RIP. X.X
Cleo: Okay, after spending all morning in bed with a migraine maybe drinking that many Monsters in a row was a bad idea. Whoopsie daisy.
Bruce: I’m surprised you’re not dead.
Cleo: Same bro. Fuck finals.
Melody: We’re all doomed.
Alan: … hold on a sec guys I got this weird ad on the college website, lemme show you.
Alan: [IMG]
Alan: Ignore that it looks like every ‘graphic design is my passion’ advertisement ever.
Melody: Oooh, a natural remedy?
Cleo: No crash? I’m sold. How much is it, I don’t wanna blow my food budget.
Bruce: Thiiis sounds like bull. Don’t do it man.
Alan: Too late. Emailed the seller.
Bruce: Cocksucker.
Alan: You wish jackass.
Cleo: Shut the fuck up guys. I’m emailing Gus too. See if he’ll work out a deal. Jesus, a week’s amount of doses is over thirty bucks… hello Ramen cups and poptarts. How I missed you.
Melody: I have some extra quinoa!
Cleo: Errrrr…
Bruce: I mean. We only need a week’s worth. Then finals will be over.
Alan: Ooooh, changing your tune, mister skeptic?
Bruce: If I don’t pack in as much study time as possible I’m going to fail. I’m not gonna let that happen.
Alan: Awww yeah! Let’s try some kid’s science experiment!
!~*~!
Alan: I’m still laughing that it’s called ‘Energy Potion’. What sort of geeky ass bullshit?
Bruce: Taking the first pill now. I have to study.
Melody: All at once, readysetgo!
Cleo: …
Cleo: I didn’t expect it to dissolve. Thought it was like birth control.
Bruce: Literally tastes like piss. Literally.
Alan: Spend a lot of time doing that Bruce?
Bruce: Eat shit.
Alan: :P
Melody: Maybe it’s the color that brings on the whole urine sensation. So icky.
Cleo: Blergh. My mouth feels awful, how’s this supposed to work Alan?
Alan: ‘One pill and you’ll have bursts of energy throughout the night, a slow burn rather than a high followed by a crash.’ Taken right from the product description.
Melody: Oddly enough, I feel its working! Or maybe that’s the crystals I set up around my study place.
Bruce: Or placebo effect. That too.
!~*~!
Cleo: Bruce?
Bruce: What’s up Cleo? Any reason you’re not messaging with the group?
Cleo: … I took another pill this morning.
Bruce: Shit, are you feeling sick? I mean it does wonders don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think you can stay awake all day like that.
Cleo: I know I know I’m sorry, I’m just letting you know in case something goes wrong. And it did work. I didn’t feel tired until the sun went up. Still pretty sleepy.
Bruce: You wanna come over to my apartment to study? I know the dorm’s pretty rough on you.
Cleo: Well…
Bruce: I’ll have more Monster for you.
Cleo: Sold. Can we play a few rounds of Overwatch too?
Bruce: As long as I can be your pocket Mercy.
!~*~!
Melody: This is the best stupid idea you’ve ever had Alan!
Alan: I know right? You know how productive I was last night? Focused?
Melody: I know! I didn’t even feel buzzed! Just AWAKE!
Cleo: Slept through one of my classes though. The crash does come, just when the sun comes up.
Bruce: Whatever man, most of my classes don’t care about attendance except when it comes to finals. Two more days until it begins.
Cleo: I can’t wait for them to be over. I might take it easy. No more all nighters. I’ll save the rest of my pills for another time.
Melody: To be honest I haven’t even been taking mine.
Alan: … What?
Bruce: Sure Melody haha how the heck have you put in more studying time?
Melody: I just feel more awake at night. I think my internal clock is changing, a few sessions of meditation and I’ll be able to refresh myself.
Alan: That’s weird.
Cleo: You know, now that I think about it, I think I forgot to take the pill last night because of how awake I was? It just felt more natural to be awake at night rather than the day. I powernapped at midnight but that’s it. It’s probably just working its way out of our systems.
Bruce: god I hope so. I swear if you end up hospitalized because of this…
!~*~!
Cleo: TMI, I don’t care.
Alan: You too?
Bruce: Same.
Melody: I’m anti shaving but this is RIDICULOUS.
Bruce: …  How the hell did we get on the same wavelength so fast?
Cleo: I mean we’re friends. That’s how it is right?
Cleo: That’s beside the point. The point is my bush is thicker than a jungle, and I JUST got waxed as a reward for passing finals.
Alan: That is really TMI but same.
Melody: I might actually break out the razor.
Bruce: probably just get a weed whacker…
Cleo: Took the words out of my MOUTH.
Alan: Maybe it’s just a full moon, either way, finals are over, toss out the damn pills, we’re GOOD.
!~*~!
Bruce: I’m still not sleeping at night.
Melody: Neither am I. I’m back at my mom’s and she’s getting SUPER worried.
Alan: I keep nodding off at work. This fucking sucks. I’m gonna get canned at this rate and I don’t wanna go back to living with my parents.
Bruce: Have either of you heard from Cleo? I haven’t since she got home to her parents. I feel like she’s fine, but you know, I worry.
Alan: I know you two finally got together but relax, she’s fine.
Melody: She’s probably just organizing her room.
Bruce: … How the fuck did you know we were together?
Melody: …
Melody: I… don’t know. I just guessed I guess.
Bruce: Bull. We haven’t told anyone. Her dad’s racist as hell, you really think he’s cool with his princess dating a black guy?
Alan: Isn’t that beside the point anyway?
Bruce: No, not it’s not.
Bruce: I really didn’t want to say this.
Bruce: Alan, I know you’re bisexual. You were at the LGBT safe space the night before graduation.
Bruce: And Melody, you believe in this vegan hippie bullshit only to make your mom happy. Because she’d be horrified to find out you’re atheist. You were at Burger King yesterday and I know you weren’t there for the salad.
Bruce: I just know what you two are doing at any time, any place, anywhere. I know where to find you right now. I can’t put it into words but it’s like we’re connected.
Bruce: Do you realize it too?
Melody: … Yes.
Melody: I was worried last night because you weren’t safe. And when you got home and told me that you were nearly in a car accident I almost screamed. I don’t believe in this sixth sense bullshit. I don’t believe in any of it. I was a vegetarian because of logic reasons, not that I ‘feel the animal’s souls’.
Alan: But you’ve also been eating a lot of meat lately too, huh?
Bruce: There’s so many jokes I can make about the meat thing.
Alan: Time and a fucking place, Bruce.
Alan: I’ve basically become a carnivore overnight. I made myself three steaks last night because I just couldn’t get full. I’m blowing through my food budget like there’s no tomorrow.
Bruce: Damn. I’ve been getting by on chicken nuggets but nothing beats a rare steak right now. I could go get one right now. If I wasn’t so damn tired.
!~*~!
Bruce: Cleo? Are you there? I know you’re okay but I’m wondering for how much longer.
Bruce: Please tell me you’re okay.
Cleo: … I’m hideous.
Cleo: My new teeth are all sharp. I’m so hairy. The only thing I like to eat is meat. I only like being out at night, and when I do, I explore my territory.
Cleo: I’m not what you want.
Bruce: No no no, it’s all of us, Cleo. My teeth just started to get loose. The night is beautiful, isn’t it?
Cleo: Especially the moon. But I feel so alone. I’m not supposed to be alone. I love you, Bruce. So much. We’re meant to be.
Bruce: We are. All of us need to be together. It’s getting stronger by the day. What’s happening to us?
Cleo: The potion. The energy potion.
Cleo: That fucker turned us into freaks!
Bruce: Nonono, you’re not a freak. If it wasn’t for this new connection, I wouldn’t have made a move that night. Appearance or not, this isn’t… all bad.
Cleo: Not all bad?
Cleo: What is even the end of this? What are we turning into?
Bruce: Hang tight. We’ll be okay, I promise.
Cleo: … my dad’s banging on my door fuckfuckfuck I think he knows about us
Bruce: Cleo?
Bruce: Cleo?!?!
Bruce: CLEO PLEASE REPLY
Bruce: CLEO!
!~*~!
Bruce: She’s in trouble.
Melody: I’m already almost to her house. Alan’s with me. Meet us there.
Bruce: Keep her safe.
!~*~!
Bruce: Shaken them off?
Melody: Yes.
Cleo: They couldn’t keep up. They’re weak. They don’t have our senses in the dark.
Alan: I got rid of the body. And our clothes.
Bruce: You know where to go?
Cleo: We’ll meet you there.
Alan: You’re in charge.
Alan: We’ll get through this together.
Melody: Yes.
Cleo: Yes.
Bruce: Yes.

i will be very clear and direct and i will be putting this post under the cut because some people don’t wanna see this or any other reason also because it might contain spoilers from the comic. let it also be known that this isn’t meant to start drama or call out people or a ship. i’m simply addressing an issue.
i’ll be first and foremost with my standings in this fandom i am a korrasami shipper, this isn’t meant to come after any character, start a shipping debacle or start fanwank. now that that’s out of the way. 
listen i understand that not everyone is gonna like the same shit from a fandom, i’m a grown adult i understand that people aren’t always gonna get along. but when people go out of their way to make things that people love and appreciate look disgusting and awful that’s where i draw a line especially when its been happening for years. 
i’m fucking tired of seeing this argument that asami is predatory and/or took advantage of korra because she developed her feelings for her over the three years they were apart. its ridiculous the fact that this still happening. people saying that of course asami took the chance to come after korra because she was almost mentally and physically incapacitated. that she’s an awful person for taking advantage of korra’s weak mental state for a relationship. 
now i will say that this isn’t meant to depict mako in a horrible light or as predatory okay? i will also state that i wasn’t part of the fandom during book one so i don’t know if this was addressed or not.  so did you call out mako for his behavior in the book one finale??? was the decision for him to confess his feelings to korra right after she had just lost her fucking bending and went through a pretty traumatic experience losing it a good idea??? because just after korra losing her bending which she admitted was her identity and also admitted that if she lost it she felt as if she didn’t have an identity or a purpose that’s the perfect time to admit you are in love with her right?? to push her to make a decision if she does or doesn’t feel the same way about you buddy after her mind is already in a very vulnerable place?? its not like she’s got bigger stuff on her plate right?? even tenzin comes out and tells him that she needs time to process this huge loss for her. but no his finale confession is seen as romantic but asami realizing she has feelings for their best friend and waiting until she’s healed and recovered and defeated this other giant evil is seen as predatory and despicable??? like i said and will state again this isn’t meant to depict mako in a horrible light nor am i calling him out now. i don’t hate mako i understand that people make mistakes. i will also state that i am not anti makorra im not interested in shipping drama or wars. i understand that these events took place years ago and have since been resolved. but at the same time this fandom has always had a problem with asami and her character. she’s always been seen in this horrible light and her actions are always scrutinized, she either comes off as selfish or uncaring???? idk where the fuck some people have gotten this idea from but shit??? asami knew that korra was in no state to handle a relationship. she knew that korra’s priority was her own recovery. asami never pushed her feelings onto korra she never asked for more. she waited and knew that korra might not even reciprocate her feelings but she didn’t care her first priority has always been korra’s well being. this isn’t to say that mako didn’t care, but also remember that mako got mad at korra for writing to asami and not him or bolin. he was even still mad at her even after she explained that it was just easier to talk to asami about the issues the was having with recovery and journey. by the way if you’re gonna call out a character for something have evidence to back it and be ready to defend if counterarguments are presented. not liking a character isn’t evidence that they’re taking advantage of someone. 
i am not one to argue with people. i hate confrontation and am against it. so i will state this for the probably third time this isn’t meant to start fanwank i am simply stating my own argument and opinions on an issue that has been bothering me for a long time. when something i identify with is being attacked and insulted i get pissed this is just the first time i am actually making a post about it. i identify with asami sato more than i have and probably ever will with a character ever in the entirety of my life. i’m tired if seeing her journey and love being depicted as predatory. because it makes me feel as if my own sexuality and love is predatory and i will not stand for that shit. i’m tired of small minded people shitting on lgbt+ characters love. 
that’s it. i may have missed a thing or two because i’m writing this while i’m emotional but i got it out and that’s what matters. this is for myself first and foremost. if you disagree sorry but that’s how i feel.

Holiii!! I saw the pic of Liam and Honey😍😍😍 Asdfahs. They are so cute! And also, i love Liam's eyes. It'a such a nice colour!! And i also saw the gifs!! I love that gif of Louis.  HE LOOKS SO SOFT. I could cry. And Harry😂😂😂 Its such a mood. I always flip people off like that. Jajajaja. AND THE GIF OF HARRY WITH THE PINK JACKET. 😍He is dancing funny and i love hiiim.  Oh, and i havent read that fic but i'll read it asap and then i'll tell you about it. Promise. Thanks for the rec💖 (1)
Hiiii, Love!!!! I’m so sorry it took me so long to answer! but yesterday I was busy, and when I came home my head hurt like a b*tch, 😖😖. Liam’s eyes very pretty, aren’t they? Everyone likes him better (poor honey). I always flip people like that too, jajaja, that’s why I needed a gif, and I found the best, jajajaja. I couldn’t resist. I’m already rereading that fic,😅. I love re reading things I read a long while ago, bc my English has improved a bit since I came to tumblr, and it’s like reading things for the first time again, so cool.
It wasnt hard being updated bcs OT was everywhere, but yeah. I always try to engage in my friend’s hobbies. & some of them do the same. One of my friends used to be a 1D fan before i met her, and though she is not longer in the fandom she tries to be updated. She sends me memes or things that remind her of 1d. She even watched a video of BG without me knowing/telling her about it. I dont deserver her. Ay, and last week she watched freddieismyqueen videos with me on a free period. I 💖 her (2)
HOW DID YOU FRIEND MANAGE TO QUITE?!?!?! Jajajajaja It feels imposible (not that I have tried…). And she sees things and isn’t intrigued about what is happening?? She should write a self help book,jajajaja. “How to suite one direction: the guide”,jajajaja. But she sounds cool and supportive of you, so keep her, jejeje.
Well, you just described me. Talking in public always end up in one of those two options. I have always wanted to do a road trip!!! You are totally invited of course. JAJAJAJA. Well, it just…happened? Our friend was having a very bad time and he was going through a lot of things and we didnt know how to cheer him up. And then one night we just starting watching a video of AuronPlay reading a fic, and he was happy for the first time in months. (3)And so my cousin said “what if we write him a fic?” And i said “omg, yes”. And thus was born. Its a crack fic. We just put in there his family, his biggest celebrity crush, our friends, ourselves and a couple of animals and started writing nonesense. He hasnt read anything yet, bcs we want to finish it first, and me and my cousin (and our siblings, bcs they wanted to help) only hang out alone sporadically. But we laugh a lot writing it. I hope he laughs too when he finally reads it. (4)
You, your sister and your cousins sound so cool. And your friends too. I’m gonna have to migrate and adopt you all, jajajaj. I’m sure your friend is gonna love it. It’s a recipe for success. Keep me updated when you show him and his reaction,please!!
“How does a gay look like?” Like someone with no toxic masculinity. But i see your point. Judging on looks is not cool. (And i dont usually do it. I watched their behaviour or their words. When someone doesnt ever use gender pronouns and just say “they” “parter” “somebody” im just👀👀👀 i see what u are doing). Yes yes. What you said makes sense. I understood. Dont worry. I have never heard that quote, but i think i could marry whoever wrote this. So much truth!! 😱 (6)
Tbh I never payed attention to that, :/ (heteronormative mind and all that). If I had, maybe I had known about a lot of my high school friends’ sexuality. Looking back, we were just a group of friends, boys a girls, nobody cared about boyfriends/girlfriends (we were friends from 12-16). Then we went our separate ways, and we lost touch. And now I see in Facebook that they are gays and lesbians, and I’m like… :/ we didn’t know much about those things back then. And I hope I didn’t make any comments who could offend/affect them. But it makes me so happy to see them being themselves and living with they’re boyfriends and girlfriends… 😊 I just wish I could have been a better friend back then 🤷🏻‍♀️. But now I pay attention to that. And I always try to show support in a non invasive way. And try to educate people about who they’re been homophobic, or make not appropriate comments… like there’s this boy (around 16) that likes to paint his nails. And I love everything to do with nails. And, at the shop, I comment on people’s nails (if I know them enough, lol). And I always try to say something nice to this guy. To normalize the fact that he has his nails painted (and no make a statement that I approve of it, if someone else is listening, so they don’t make rude comments around me). And then my friend’s sister is Lesbian. But their mother is so ancient-minded… like, my friend has a dit of fat, and she’s always making comment about how she should be skinnier bc she won’t ever find a husband 😒. And her sister is very thin. And once, she was working as cleaner in a /cuartel de la guardia civil(?)/. And their mother was always: hmmm, I hope she finds a good guy there, bc she’s never had a boyfriend. And I always thought: I wonder why, lol. Well, she finally came out to her parents, and while they don’t treat her different (which I don’t know if it’s good or no), they’re like “waiting” she changes her mind. And hoping she finds a boyfriend. Anyway, her mother is friends with my mom, and she comes to visit at the shop sometimes, and she always has a comment to make about what people do or don’t do. And I get so angry 😡. I’m always correcting her. But she doesn’t listen. And I feel sorry for my friend and her sister. So whenever I have the chance I saw her my support, and always talk about these things, lol. (I talk so much about lgbt+ things, that my family associates me with it, to the point that every time they see a rainbow or whatever they tell me: look look! And I just satisfied with it. At least they don’t make so much homophobic comments anymore 😒)
YOUR MOM IS AN ANTI? How? “Why would they fake a baby?” Thats a good question with awful answers. I miss RBB&SBB.😍 (I havent explained that to anybody, yet. But once while playing a game my cousins choose Rbb as his nickname so i choose Sbb and our friends started making questions and we where like? 1d things? Long story, leave it for another day? I’m glad they dont remember it bcs i wouldnt know how to explain that😂😂). Was your friend a fan of 1d too? (7)
Well, she isn’t a nasty anti, jajajja, but she doesn’t think they’re together. Not for nothing special, just that she thinks they would say it if they were together. And since they haven’t say it, they aren’t together. But I’ve shown her the famous Christmas pic, and she doesn’t Thing B was ever pregnant. And I show her pics of F to ask for an outsider opinion, and she doesn’t think the kid looks like Louis at all, lmao. So, I think if they ever come out, she wouldn’t care at all. Bahhh, I’ve talked about RBB/SBB with my friend sometimes, but it’s so bad of a thing, that we don’t come to a conclusion. She isn’t a fans, sadly. But she likes celeb gossip, and I like to talk, so… yesterday she came to visit/ to get her arms waxed (bc that’s my other unofficial job) and she ended up staying for 2 hours. Bc we had see each other briefly lately, couldn’t sit and talk properly in a while. And she always asks me about 1d, bc she knows I love to talk about it,jajaja. And I have a sideblog where I reblog things to show her. And well, yesterday we talked a little about BG, and I showed her the no-belly pic, and she was… 😳. And she thinks louis and Harry must be together, at least at some point, bc the way the touched wasn’t in a friendly way. She now has a boyfriend, and she kept saying: I’m not a very touchy person with my friends or my family, but when I’m with him I always want to touch him or kiss him, and that’s what those two were always doing. And I’m always: do you think that for real, or are you just saying it so I stop talking?? Jajjaja. And yes, she’s convinced they are/were together. She asked me if I think they’re still together, and I told her that now more than ever, but it’s a long story, so we should talk about it another time, bc lol, we were just talking about it for a couple of hours, and we both had things to do. So, we’ll keep talking another time.
Of course, I dont share that info with everybody, but I dont mind my friends knowing. I have this one friend that i bother everytime i get frustated bcs of a fic. I tell him the plot, and what is happening and i cry about it (and he laughs at me but at least he listens). Sometimes i make him choose which one should i read next when i cant decide. (9)
I almost did a fic reference yesterday talking with my friend, and I stopped myself midsentece, and laughed (I thought of you,jajaj) and she was so confused!! But she’s used to my weirdness, so we just laughed it way. And I kept talking, jajajajaj.
Girl, i have 6 dioptres😂😂 Thats what i have forbid myself from reading on the phone. No, i havent read that one, but its now on the list. I’ll tell you when i do! Though it make take a while :( (I understand you. Dont worry). (10)
😳 6?!!?! Please take care of your eyes!!! Stop reading… everything!! Jajaja. No, I’m kidding. I know about people who has 8… so you’re still ok,jajajaj. I have 1, but my ophthalmologist told me I’m very sensitive to change, bc I thought I had 27463 diopters, bc I saw so poorly 🙄🙄.
Yes, i also like IDGAF more than New Rules. They have overplayed that one. Have you heard Blow Your Mind? I love that one. It’s also a single so…i guess you have heard it? You’ll get amazing shots, i’m sure. Honey was sleeping on you? 😭😭😭😭 I love hiiim (11)
I listened today Room for 2 and Homesick, and I think I like them. I’ll have to listen this new one two. For me, to like a song, I have to heard /a lot/ (not as much as Despacito, please). It has to have a catchy tune. That’s why I think a like Carolina, or Woman, or Kiwi, and I don’t understand why people is so fidyfvbure about the lyrics, jajjaja.Honey is always sleeping on me. The other day Liam was sleeping between my legs, and Honey came and just laid on top of my poor limo. And I wanted to kill him, bc liam never comes to sleep with me. They’re so different… but I love them both.
Oh, my little sister. I just wanted to tell you that yesterday was her birthday. She almost cried when she saw that me and my older sister had brought her Flicker deluxe as a present. (We hadnt bought it yet. Dont judge us). She was freaking out just bcs of that and i was laughing so hard thinking that she’s gonna pass out when she sees the rainbow flag her friends have gotten her for Nialls show. And also another pair of Cds. She wont survive the show. Poor thing. But she was so happy 😍😍 (12)You start next week? Okay. I’ll ask again next wednseday. Have a nice daaaay!!
Not judging, you’re amazing sisters!! Awww, poor thing!! She will have an amazing time at Niall’s concert, for sure. And, yes, please, tell her to bring the flag. I’m so happy seeing how people are starting to bring rainbow flags to niall concerts too. And have you seeing that he has taken pics with rainbow flags?? He even brought one to the stage the other day!! It makes me inexplicably happy to say everything covered in rainbows. There was so much at Harry’s show too, my sister said it looked like a pride parade. Hey, Dunkirk it’s about to start khbkhdfbvkjdnfvkjndfv. But, have YOU SEEING THE NEW ROYAL BABY WAS NAMED AFTER LOUIS?????? AND HIS TWEET?!?!?  IM SCREAMED!!!! Dijffvjkbdded. Bye love. I have to feed my cats before the movie starts!!! Aaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

Toxic Masculinity???
ITS A STRANGE THING FOR ME TO HEAR ABOUT MEN TALKING ABOUT HOW IT IMPORTANT IT IS TO “BE A MAN”. I FIND IT FUNNY, CONSIDERING MOST OF THEM Aren’t REALLY THAT MANLY, AT LEAST BY MY JUDGEMENT, (WHICH IS PRETTY LIBERAL AS WELL) MOST GUYS I KNOW HAVE A FALSE SENSE OF MACHISMO, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD. I GREW UP IN ST JOSEPH MO, NOT NECESSARILY A SMALL TOWN, BUT YOU’D NEVER QUALIFY IT AS A CITY. ITS A TOWN. THE MEN THAT I GREW UP AROUND WERE YOUR CLASSIC SENSE OF THE WORD “MEN”. FARMERS, GLAZERS, METAL WORKERS. YOU NAME IT. THEY WERE MANLY MEN. THE ONLY ONE I KNEW THAT DIDN’T FIT THAT MOLD WAS MY UNCLE ADAM. I DIDN’T KNOW IT AT THE TIME, BUT HE WAS CLEARLY GAY. I JUST DIDN’T KNOW WHAT IT WAS AT THE TIME. AT LEAST NOT UNTIL ONE DAY WHEN MY MOTHER SAT ME DOWN, (I GUESS SHE JUST THOUGHT IT WAS THAT TIME) BUT SHE TOLD ME THAT YOUR UNCLE ADAM IS GAY, THATS WHEN A MAN LOVES ANOTHER MAN AND THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, OR HIM. SHE EVEN WENT INTO DETAIL OF A BEATING HE TOOK AS TEENAGER BY SOME OTHER GUYS IN TOWN, AND HOW THEY BROKE HIS RIBS. GRANTED, HE WAS A BIT OF A SMART ASS (WHICH IS PARTLY WHY I LOVED HIIM, HE HAD SOME GREAT ONE LINERS) BUT STILL, THE MAIN DRIVING FACTOR WAS THAT HE WAS BEATEN BECAUSE HE WAS A GAY MAN, BUT ANWAYS…
HE WAS MY FIRST EXPOSURE TO A GUY THAT DIDN’T FIT THE MOLD THAT I WAS USED TO, AND I DIDN’T CARE WHATSOEVER. THATS WHAT HE DOES AND ALRIGHT THEN. MY MOM SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND I WAS STILL AT AN AGE WHERE EVERYTHING MY PARENTS TOLD ME WAS TAKEN AS GOSPEL, SO I BELIEVED IT WHOLE HEARTEDLY. THE SAME COULD BE SAID FOR PEOPLE WHO WERE BROUGHT UP WITH ANTI GAY SENTIMENTS. WE DON’T KNOW BETTER TO THINK FOR OURSELVES AT THE TIME. AT LEAST MOST OF US DONT. IT WAS ONLY LATER THAT I WOULD BEGIN TO DISCOVER MY OWN FEELINGS, THOUGHTS AND INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THAT WAS THAT I WOULD GET A BETTER IDEA FOR IT.
NOW I DON’T KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT, WHETHER IT WAS AN EXPOSURE TO SOMETHING THAT WAS MERELY SEXUAL IN NATURE AND THAT GOT MY ENGINE REVVING. BUT I REMEMBER SEEING STRAIGHT PORN FIRST, THEN GAY LATER ON. AND AT THAT TIME I COULD LITERALLY MASTURBATE TO A BRA CATALOGUE, (WHO ELSE IS THAT OLD?) BUT I WAS IN MY PREPUBESCENCE AND I REMEMBER MAKING OUT WITH A NEIGHBOR BOY A COUPLE YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME IN A DITCH, I ALSO REMEMBER GIVING TWO MALE CLASSMATES A BLOWJOB AT 13. NOT AT THE SAME TIME, I WASN’T THAT FREAKY. THOSE TWO EXPERIENCES ACTUALLY HAPPENED AFTER I HAD LOST MY VIRGINITY TO MY THEN GIRLFRIEND AND HER BEST FRIEND. I LIKED BOTH, WHETHER IT WAS JUST A FORM OF COMPANIONSHIP BECAUSE I WAS A LONELIER CHILD, OR JUST THE FACT THAT I FOUND IT HOT AND DISGUSTING, SO I WENT FOR IT.
THAT WAS ACTUALLY THE FIRST TIME IVE EVER WRITTEN DOWN ANY OF MY HOMOSEXUAL EXPERIENCES, IT FELT NICE. BUT BACK TO ORIGINAL POINT OF THIS ALL, THATS WHY ITS WEIRD TO HEAR ABOUT SUPER MACHO GUYS THAT DON’T HAVE ANY FEMININE FEELINGS WHATSOEVER APPARENTLY. ALL STEAKS AND PUSSY, NO FEATHERS OR COMFY CLOTHING. GRANTED I KNOW IM A FAR CRY FROM A LOT OF GUYS OUT THERE, IN TERMS OF MY “MANLINESS” (MILITARY, FIGHTERS, ETC.) EVEN THOUGH THERES PLENTY OF PEOPLE WHO ARE WAY FURTHER DOWN THE HOMO PIPELINE (NO PUN INTENDED) THAN I IN THOSE FIELDS. BUT IVE SEEN ENOUGH OF REAL MEN TO KNOW WHAT IT ACTUALLY TAKES. NOT EVEN JUST MEN, BUT A STRONG FUCKING INDIVIDUAL. REGARDLESS OF YOUR GENITALS.
1, YOU HAVE TO BE  PHYSICALLY TOUGH. YES EVEN IN THE PHYSICAL SENSE. THE CLICHE OF BEING ABLE TO TAKE A PUNCH COMES UP, BUT IN THIS CASE ITS TRUE. BEING ABLE TO ENDURE PHYSICAL PUNISHMENT AND TURN INTO TRIUMPH IS SOMETHING IVE ALWAYS ADMIRED. 2, INTELLIGENCE. YES, ID CONSIDER THE GUY IN A RAINSTORM HOLDING AN UMBRELLA TO BE SMARTER THAN THE ONE WHOS A WALKING CASE OF AMMONIA. AT LEAST GET A FUCKING PONCHO OR SOMETHING. THATS ONE EXAMPLE OF MANY, BUT I THINK YOU GET THE POINT. 3, SENSITIVITY/COMPASSION. YES, THE OXYMORON IS HERE. TO BE A MAN REQUIRES A CERTAIN LEVEL OF THOSE TWO. RAISING A CHILD, BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP OR EVEN JUST BEING A NICER PERSON TO THE PEOPLE YOU COME IN CONTACT WITH. ITS ALMOST AN EVOLUTIONARY TRAIT TO ME AT THIS POINT. IF YOU’RE SO THICK THAT YOU CANT BE ABLE TO HOLD A PUPPY/KISS A BABY WITHOUT A SMILE BURNT ONTO YOUR FACE, YOU’RE A GOD DAMN SOCIOPATH. 4, MENTAL TOUGHNESS. THIS OBVIOUSLY APPLIES TO ANYONE, NO MATTER WHO ARE. WHETHER YOU APPLY IT TO DISCIPLINE, MENTAL FORTITUDE OR WHATEVER…YOU NEED IT TO SURVIVE ON THIS ROCK. I
I GUESS ALL IM REALLY TRYING TO SAY WITH ALL OF THIS IS THAT THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH GROWING AS A SPECIES. ITS 2017 AND THERES STILL HORRIFIC CRIMES GOING ON AROUND THE WORLD. THANKFULLY, ITS THE LEAST THATS EVER BEEN SINCE HUMANITY BEGAN, AND WERE GETTING BETTER DAY BY DAY. THANKS TO HUMAN BEINGS WITH ALL OF THESE TRAITS. YOU SEE A GAY MAN IN AFRICA ADVOCATING THE RIGHTS OF HIM AND EVERY OTHER PERSON IN THEIR LGBT COMMUNITY. IN FUCKING AFRICA PEOPLE..THINK ABOUT THAT. THE WORST THATS USUALLY GONNA HAPPEN TO YOU IN AMERICA IS SOME DUMBASS IS GONNA CALL YOU A FAGGOT THEN MORE THAN LIKELY GO HOME AND BEAT OFF TO GAY PORN HIMSELF.
YEAH, OBVIOUSLY SOME PEOPLE ARE STILL GONNA GET FUCKED UP IN AMERICA FOR IT, BUT AT LEAST HERE ITS AN ATROCITY AND YOU’LL BE A MARYTR FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. HELL YOU’LL PROBABLY EVEN BE RECREATED IN A MOVIE AFTER A FEW YEARS. IN AFRICA, HOWEVER…YOU’LL BE BEATEN TO DEATH ON THE STREETS IN BROAD DAYLIGHT FOR DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. JUST SOMEONE WANTS TO FUCK YOU UP, AND NO ONE DOES ANYTHING ABOUT IT. YOU’RE PROBABLY JUST THROWN INTO A DITCH OR YOUR FAMILY HAS TO COME COLLECT THE BODY AND PERFORM THEIR OWN BURIAL FOR YOU. OR WHO KNOWS, IF YOU’RE IN LIBERIA THEY MIGHT EVEN CUT YOU UP AND SELL YOUR MEAT AS STREET FOOD. IM NOT SAYING THATS TOTALLY TRUE, BUT IVE SEEN IT ON A VICE SPECIAL. IM JUST SAYING ITS ALL ABOUT PERSPECTIVE HERE, THAT MAKES RUSSIA LOOK LIKE THE GAY PRIDE PARADE.
ANYWAYS, TO WRAP IT UP…TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND OTHERS AROUND YOU. IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE WITNESSING AN INJUSTICE, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, BUT KEEP YOURSELF IN  CHECK AS WELL. DON’T GO OVERBOARD. AND FUCKING LOVE ONE ANOTHER, THATS THE EASIEST ONE, AND IF YOU CANT DO THAT, JUST MIND YOUR OWN GOD DAMN BUSINESS AND KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. UNLESS ITS FULL OF DICKS, THEN YOU’RE ALREADY DOING THAT. ONE LOVE BITCHES.
