When I first received this zine in the mail I was a little turned off. It made me think back to the pamphlets and fliers that people tried to hand me on my college campus in hopes of “converting” students trying to get to class. But boy was I wrong (talk about judging a book by its cover)!!! Anyway, the author, D (Who wishes to remain anonymous), kicks things off by sharing some of his thoughts on his childhood and growing up in a conservative evangelical community. In fact, he mentioned how this zine started as a letter to his parents but now coniders it to be a letter to every church and church leader he’s encountered in his lifetime. According to the D, he often felt like questioning religion was dangerous and ungodly. Although he was taught to “love thy neighbor” he often questioned why this didn't include queer people, people with children out of wedlock, working women, and more. How come were taught to love unconditionally but no one actually practices it?
The intro is one of my favorite parts of this zine. The zinester brings up the common saying “God is Love”. Something that you’ll hear church members say fairly often. Then the writer invites us to close our eyes and imagine. What would it be like to live in a world where “they know we’re Christians by our love.” You walk into a room, talk to the people inside, and without a doubt they know you're a Christian by your love. What did you say to them? He then asks us to think: Who counts as they? What groups will know your Christian by your love? And what groups won’t? Finally, he asks the reader, “Whom have you pretended doesn't count as they to make the whole love thing easier? I love this whole concept. I often see so-called Christians making up excuses to make their hatred go down easier but for trans people like me and others from marginalized groups, that can be a hard pill to swallow.
One of my favorite pages was the Scripture page. It lists 3 different scriptures (Mark 12:31, Isaiah 1:17, and Galatians 3:28) and at the top states, “What would it look like if your political beliefs were informed by these scriptures?”. It’s so common to see bigoted people using the bible to explain away their wrong-doings but when it really comes down to it there are a lot of “Christians” that seem to know nothing about the bible and what it preaches and this page encompasses that.
Overall this zine was a great read. If you're in the process of, or just starting to, unpack your religious upbringing then this book is just for you. It’s fairly long so it was impossible to mention everything that was discussed so I highly suggest tracking down one for yourself. DM me if your interested in the digital verison of this zine! (PS This zine pairs wonderfully with a hot drink while listening to Preachers Daughter by Ethel Cain)
I think ryusui's biggest fortune is that he has francois. Beyond their incredible multi-skills, francois believed in him with all their heart, took care of him, was always by his side, and were always proud of ryusui. While his family called him a disgrace to the Nanami conglomerate.
Thank you for having him francois! You did a GREAT job
I understand the assignment 🫡
Initial D is criminally underrated in the anime western fandom. It really deserves more attention, in other words, it deserves more fanfics. I'm going to be reblogging some posts that I liked of that anime
Hi, it's 🦋anon again. You cannont believe how happy I was to read your headcanon!
This time let's do an easier one. Ryusui/Tsukasa/Chrome x reader at an amusement park (would they go on rollercoasters/other rides or not, who would be screaming/laughing to hide their nervousness, etc.)
Hope I'm not littering the mailbox😅 Just really thirsty for some (mainly our greedy boy Ryusui) content.
my New Year’s resolution is to ACTUALLY finish these request lolll. Thank you for the request 🦋 anon! You’re never littering feel free to request whatever! I hope you like it!
Ryusui, Tsukasa, and Chrome at an amusement park 🎀🩷
Ryusui:
I’m being real with you he probably owns an amusement park💀
So you have the whole park to yourselves!
Unless there’s somewhere else you really want to go
He hates waiting in long lines, that’s why he built his own lol
But once he gets on the ride he’s stoked
Immediately going to the back or wherever is the scariest on the ride
You have to beg him to put his hands on the bars so he doesn’t fly out
Gets all romantic with the slow rides like the tunnel of love or the Ferris wheel
But as soon as they’re over he’s zooming over to the next ride
Only good at a couple of games
The amusement park gets rich from the amount of money he spends to get you ONE prize
He’s such a crackhead it’s so funny💀
Tsukasa:
Definitely much calmer than Ryusui
He just likes to follow you around to whatever ride you like
Slow rides, fast rides, nothing really bugs him
Except
For the drop ride
I feel like that’s the ride that would destroy him
He wouldn’t yell or anything, but as soon as the ride’s over you look at his face and it’s just dead and white
He hates that one so much
A legend at the games
Wins you every prize
He likes going on the Ferris wheel when the sun starts to set
He thinks it’s romantic 🥰
Chrome
In actual awe when he firsts goes to an amusement park
“Y/N DID YOU SEE THAT??? ALL THOSE PEOPLE WENT UPSIDE DOWN AND DIDNT FALL OFF!!! HOW DID THEY DO THAT????”
But when he actually gets on one of the coasters he’s petrified
Literally looks like a lifeless body just walking around the rest of the park
You either have to progressively make your way up to the scary coaster (like start your way from the carousel or the tea cups before going on the super crazy ones)
Or you just let him learn the hard way and try your best to help him afterward
Dude’s a big back and will tear up the food there
“OH MY GOSH Y/N DID YOU TRY THIS??? ITS A FRIED OREO STUFFED IN A FRIED PICKLE STUFFED IN A FRIED CHICKEN LEG!!!!”
At the end of the day, you two will be on the Ferris wheel and he’s smiling when he says, “thanks for the fun day y/n! I loved being able to hang out with you all day. I just love you so much!”
Hii, I was wondering, if you could do Dr. Stone headcanons of Ryusui/Chrome/Sai/Tsukasa x blind!reader? (either just one of the guys or any other characters you prefer would do).
Feel free to ignore and thanks!
hello 🦋 anon!! I honestly could barely think of anything so it’s not that good. I’m so sorry and feel free to request anything else💕
Chrome x blind!reader💖
If you’re from the modern world and you’re blind he’ll probably just be like “well we gave Suika glasses to help her fuzzy eye sickness, maybe that’s what you need too!”
Deadass makes some glasses for you
Senku has to explain that you literally you cannot see a thing 💀
Feels so bad after he hands you the glasses, but you tell him you appreciate the gesture!
If you were born in the village and born blind then he pledges to find a way to cure you!
He wants you to see all the beautiful things the world has to offer
But nevertheless he wouldn’t care if you were blind or not! He loves you no matter what!
Gets really blushy whenever you need someone to hold onto while you guys are walking
Thinks the software you use to hear texts being sent to you is really cool!
When he’s working on something he wants you there but is scared you would get hurt if something went wrong
When he wants to watch a movie or show he’ll describe everything in as much detail as he can so you know what’s going on too
Always offering to help no matter what!
Not a request, but I love your writing it so fun! Hope your day is going well!
Thank you🔵 anon!!!! I really appreciate your kind words!!🩷🩷🩷🩷

Takumi Fujiwara x Reader (set up as headcanons??)💗
guys my brother took me to an arcade with an initial d game inside so now Takumi Fujiwara has taken over my brain anyway hope you enjoy!
You probably met him in school
You were new and after your introduction Itsuki points you out
“Hey man look! That new student is pretty cute don’t ya think?”
And to Itsuki’s surprise, Takumi agrees instantly
“Looks like someone’s in love~”
“Shut up Itsuki!”
He didn’t talk to you for a while, he was nervous!
Until he went with Itsuki and the rest of the speedstars to Akina
You were there with your brother’s racing team, talking and messing around
Someone in the speedstars started talking shit but Takumi quickly shut them down
“Hey will you stop? They’re not messing with anyone so just drop it!”
Safe to say Iketani, Kenji, and Itsuki were surprised
Both teams just sat idly next to each other until you walked over to Takumi
“Thank you for sticking up for us. I would hated it if we were enemies.” You tell him as you hand him a soda as thanks
“O-oh it was nothing. Just don’t like bullies…”
You smile at his small blush, it even turns your face a little pink
“Did you…wanna sit?”
“Oh if you don’t mind”
You both could have spent all night just chilling and taking to each other
But your brother had to take you home ☹️
But at school he asked if he could walk with you and finish your conversation
After you two became close you would go to each other’s houses Bunta really likes you
“When are you gonna ask that girl out?”
“What are you talking about dad?”
“That girl that’s always over here. It’s clear you like her, so just ask her out.”
“But…how?”
He asks everyone for advice, Itsuki, Iketani, Keisuke, even Ryosuke and Wataru
Finally he settles for a drive around Akina
It’s late at night and you’re in the passenger side listening to your shared playlist
He pulls into the place you first talked to him
You both talk to each other, scooting closer to each other, only inches apart
“Hey (y/n)…” he puts his hand over yours, “do you think…we can be more than friends? Like, oh gosh I sound dumb,” he mumbles, “would you like to be my girlfriend?”
You kiss his cheek and nod, “I’d love to be Takumi.”
After Takumi drops you off
“Did you do it?” Bunta asks
“Yes.”
“Thank God cause she’s a lot better than whatever the hell else you’ve brought over here.”
