Why Isn't This Me And My Boyfriend Right Now

The impact of bigotry is worldwide

Some of y’all really think racism in America looks like this:

When it really looks like this

Happy were just normal men Saturday

why did he say this

NOTE TO SELF-SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!

@poppytheaxolotl i will use this on you

Anyone who's ever done anything creative needs to fucking see this.

Using ambiguous labels/being unlabeled has genuinely been so freeing for me as a queer dude.

I get that for some, more specific labels and identities are affirming, but for me, when I was still trying to find "my label" ©️ I ended up constantly questioning every feeling I had about myself, my gender, my attraction, etc.

I became obsessed with finding the "correct" collection of terms that could fully encompass me as a person.

But I can't be contained in any number of labels. No one flag or idenity will truly be able to tell others who I am. Only *I* can tell you who I am.

I'm genderqueer, trans, and achillean. What does that mean? Just ask me! Let me use my words and my experiences to connect with you and tell you who I am.

Anyway queerness is beautiful, and I am beautiful, and so are you, no matter how you choose to define yourself.

Small fantasy worldbuilding elements you might want to think about:

A currency that isn’t gold-standard/having gold be as valuable as tin

A currency that runs entirely on a perishable resource, like cocoa beans

A clock that isn’t 24-hours

More or less than four seasons/seasons other than the ones we know

Fantastical weather patterns like irregular cloud formations, iridescent rain

Multiple moons/no moon

Planetary rings

A northern lights effect, but near the equator

Roads that aren’t brown or grey/black, like San Juan’s blue bricks

Jewelry beyond precious gems and metals

Marriage signifiers other than wedding bands

The husband taking the wife's name / newlyweds inventing a new surname upon marriage

No concept of virginity or bastardry

More than 2 genders/no concept of gender

Monotheism, but not creationism

Gods that don’t look like people

Domesticated pets that aren’t re-skinned dogs and cats

Some normalized supernatural element that has nothing to do with the plot

Magical communication that isn’t Fantasy Zoom

“Books” that aren’t bound or scrolls

A nonverbal means of communicating, like sign language

A race of people who are obligate carnivores/ vegetarians/ vegans/ pescatarians (not religious, biological imperative)

I’ve done about half of these myself in one WIP or another and a little detail here or there goes a long way in reminding the audience that this isn’t Kansas anymore.
