Unpopular opinion but I'm tired of people conflating queer media that doesn't appeal to them specifically with bad representation or queer media for straight people. Also queer media for straight people can be valuable. Because honestly yeah some mom who just found out her kid is queer who doesn't know many queer people or mentors to teach her how to navigate it would probably look to media. So queer media for straight cis people has a place. And secondly just because queer media doesn't appeal to you specifically doesn't mean it's for queer people. Like take Love, Simon for example. Everyone accused Becky Albertalli of writing a queer book to pander to a straight audience. Even though I a queer person loved it and I was out as queer by the time I had read it. The book is actually really good as a book and it actually has some for a YA novel written by a white author rather nuanced racial commentary. The movie Love, Simon had multiple queer people working behind the scenes and the movie literally helped inspire one of the leads Keiynan Lonsdale to come out . Yet people still accuse it of being for straight people. Why? Because it was fluffy and light hearted and followed the story of a white kid in the suburbs with a stereotypical American family. Because it didn't appeal to them. Even though many of the queer people I know personally said the "You get to exhale now" scene meant so much to them. Even though prior to even coming out as bi which she was pressured to do over the backlash of Love , Simon. She worked with gender non-conforming kids as a social worker and made sure to be mindful of the community. Even though she openly encouraged black actors to play her characters even if they were originally written as white in the books (she was quite happy that Nick who was originally white in the books was casted as black in the films). Even though she collaborated with multiple queer people behind the scenes. she still got accused of writing a queer book for a straight audience. I'm only using this as an example. Now some people are doing the same with Heart stopper simply because it's popular and queer even though the author is openly aroace. I don't care for Heartstopper that much personal but I find other Osemanverse works more compelling(like say Solitaire). But I've never put down people who do for not being queer enough. Or for enjoying gay content for straight people.
TL:DR - Just because a piece of queer media doesn't apply to you doesn't mean it's queer content for a straight cis audience and even then queer content for a straight cis audience has a place and does matter.

A few years ago some friends of mine and I had a huge roleplay going on about having our Adventure Time AU's, mainly the Simons of those AU's, meet and be forced through adventures together. The RP went on for a few years and spanned over 5 separate chapters
Now after watching the Fionna and Cake series I couldn't help but think about how Prismo would've reacted to such a big crossover and what could've kept him from interfering with it in the first place, so I drew this

I haven't made an original post here in like a year but I've gotta talk about Imogen, Obviously. If I had read this book in high school I would have been able to come out to myself YEARS earlier. It would have allowed me to skip the TERRIBLE terf adjacent era of my internet usage when I was like 18.
I saw myself in the protagonist and cried multiple times over the way internalized biphobia (and external biphobia!) Impacted her life.
I saw my past self in the antagonist who couldn't stop "discoursing" in ways that made the queer community less inclusive. I could have learned so much from seeing how that rhetoric could actively hurt the people around me.
This book made me so sad. Not because it was a sad book, but because I wish I had gotten to read it soon enough for it to change my life. Getting to read it an look back on my bisexual crisis was SO cathartic, but I can't stop wishing that 15-year-old me could have felt a little less alone and confused. Maybe I could have understood then instead of coming out to myself at age 20.

When Women Were Dragons Summary:
Back in the 1940s women first started turning into dragons. A wonderful exploration on how women are repressed, exploited, manipulated and abused. Also they turn into dragons and also they always were dragons.
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Summary:
Straight people should have to come out too. And the more awkward it is, the better. Simon Spier is sixteen and trying to work out who he is - and what he's looking for. But when one of his emails to the very distracting Blue falls into the wrong hands, things get all kinds of complicated. Because, for Simon, falling for Blue is a big deal ... It's a holy freaking huge awesome deal.

Before the Love, Victor trailer dropped, I wrote about Venji, Vahim, and why I want Season 3 to explore the love triangle MORE.
Also, I wrote about why I want Benji and Rahim to have storylines outside of any possible romantic relationship with Victor.
I really loved this article, and I hope you like it. Click the link to check it out!

Can anyone help me find a fanfic, it’s a collection of first between Simon Spier and Bram Greenfeld,it starts while they are still in high school and continues into their college years. I think it was deleted off of AO3 but if anybody saved it or remembers the author that would be amazing!

best part of rereading simon vs is always building up bram’s side of the story through the little clues and being like. how did he survive that. the eyeliner. ‘abraham’. simon giving him back his paper. simon was down bad don’t get me wrong but bram was down HORRENDOUS
