I envy writers.
As an artist I can give you a snapshot into a world.
But a writer.
A writer can take you there.
They can weave together words and create a portal to anywhere. You can visit those places instead of looking out a window and wishing to be a part of it.
I envy writers.

Representation Matters
growing up, i dont remember my dad yelling at me when i got in trouble
he yelled when i was playing outside and he wanted me in for dinner, but that was only so id hear him. he yelled the day i told him and my mom about the abuse going on at school, but that was when i was up in my room and he was downstairs yelling over my special ed teacher abusing me and my classmates and the school letting it happen and how messed up it was. he yelled the night he went to kill my uncle cuz he was upset that my uncle had raped my cousin
but he never yelled at me. i wasnt afraid of him screaming at me or worried that he might hit me when i got in trouble
and i grew up just fine. i grew up feeling loved. i grew up able to talk to him about my hobbies and interests. i grew up comfortable around my own dad
its messed up that my experience was something many people i know never had. a lot of those people feel distant from their dad or tense around them. they dont connect with their fathers, and that is a fault on the fathers part. and that issue is yelling

This will visually remove your deadname from any webpage. Obviously switch it off if your parents wanna check up on your work, but yee here's the link below fam!!!! BOOST THIS!!! SEND THIS TO ANY TRANS PERSON YOU KNOW WHO WILL NEED THIS
EDIT: it has been brought to my attention that this will not work if you have an online school program/assigned laptop that blocks you from using extensions. Please check with your own situations b4 you get your hopes too high up, and I apologise and feel for those who already were.
A relationship isn’t toxic because it’s heterosexual.
A relationship isn’t worse because the people in it are of opposite sexes.
A ship isn’t better because it’s queer.
A relationship with an underage person isn’t less disgusting just because it’s homosexual.
A ship involving incest isn’t okay because the characters are the same sex.
There is nothing wrong with opposite sex ships.
A ship doesn’t make more sense than another just because it’s gay.
Not every relationship between a female lead and a male lead is forced.
Not every relationship between friends is romantic or sexual.
