The largest mass shooting in American history was a hate crime against gay people. Don’t ever forget that.
It’s okay to be a feminine straight guy
It’s okay to be a feminine queer guy
It’s okay to be a feminine straight girl
It’s okay to be a feminine queer girl
It’s ok to be a feminine gender nonbinary person
It’s okay to be a feminine trans woman
It’s okay to be a feminine trans guy
being feminine is okay and not degrading in the slightest
I took a test on like where you are on the ‘nonverbal intimacy scale’ and the average female score is 102 and male is 93.8 and I got 56 lolololol
here it is if ya want (reblog/reply w/ what you get!!)
We are Slytherin. We are green and silver. We are the crushing of the waves. We are shadows and currents.
We are the calm before a storm and suggestive smirks in class. We are the legends that linger forever. Sometimes our tounges are sharper than our knives. Sometimes our smiles are more cruel than our revenge. Our condolences. We are the heroes that lived too long. We are the Kings and Queens of Kings and Queens. And heavy weighs the crown. We are the moon in the sky and the snow on the ground. We are the ballet dancers that rock. We are the northern lights in the polar night. We are beautiful and sharp and crystal clear.
And breakable.
We embrace our shadows and keep our chin high. And sometimes the dark comes seeping in. Sometimes our own weapons turn against us. Sometimes it’s hard to keep the head clear. To focus. Sometimes our control crumbles. And is taken away. Sometimes it’s impossible to hold on.
Sometimes I realise my mistake. And sometimes I ponder if I am one. And then they are there. Screaming: Yes. Yes, you are… Someone who can’t even do this simple task.
Sometimes I hide from them. In my room. I can hear them scream and yell downstairs. Upstairs. On the other side of the door. And sometimes I am happy that I am so lonely. Because at least I don’t have to listen to them. And sometimes I think: Why bother? At all?
But then there you are: The calm after the storm. The boulder in the stream. My rock. And your voice is soft:
“Want to feel alive?”
And I chuckle. Because you have come to know me so well. And you take my hand and lead me away from them.
And we conquer the world. We hoist our colours and take a gulp of freedom. We are the snake with its cunning and wisdom. We are the sea. A roaring and a calm. And we will write history and prophecies.
Because we want to.
{However, please, don’t push me.}

Those You’ve Known - Deaf West’s Spring Awakening
Had the absolutely wonderful pleasure of doing a poster job for my Tee-Rico buddy Dominic! I was asked to create an 80s film poster-inspired piece for the Selma Arts Center’s upcoming production of Heathers the Musical!
Shoutout to the cast and crew for sending me a bundle of wonderful reference photos that made this a smooth process. The faces you see in this illustration are the faces you will see on stage. Check out info about the show here!
Poster frame by Dominic Grijalva. Thanks buddy!
(mmm love that tumblr image quality compression)
No way I could make something this lovely. I actually stumbled upon it on etsy and had to buy it.
My Wendla dress is absolutely adorable. If you don’t think I’m going to get a nightgown for Whispering/Those You’ve Known too, you’re wrong.
