with great pain comes the great inability to form a coherent sentence
[ID: a 4-page comic in illuminated manuscript style of a person standing outside. /1: They look to the distance and say: "What is that dolorous cloud: that dreadful fright I see now on the dark horizon?" /2: They turn, upset, and say: "Alas! It is the brain fog approaching!" A purple cloud enters the panel. /3: They hold up their hands against the approaching cloud, saying: "A curse upon that fog that steals my eloquence. I...hate...it" /4: The cloud surrounds them and they say: "cloud"..."bad" /ID]
dear people who think "how could you even function if you *actually* had all that" somehow disproves a person's everyday struggles, kindly shut the fuck up <3
• this user thinks they need a mobility aid, but is a minor and feels like their parents wouldn’t take them seriously if they said so •
Oklahoma is attempting to pass a bill that would ban explicit romance novels. Authors, narrators, and sellers could all face fines of up to $100,000 and up to 10 years in jail for each instance.
If you live in OK, call your representative and tell them this bill should not be allowed to pass.
This is likely a test case. Republicans will try to pass it in OK and if it passes other states will likely try to pass similar laws.
In the meantime, get physical copies of books you like. Download those pdfs. Archive your AO3 stories and keep them on a physical hard drive. (Storing those files in the cloud could be problematic in the future as the company managing the cloud service can see what your files are)
Song that reminds me of pride?
Ok so probably really basic but
Yeah...
I don’t have much else to say.
A drag performer who inspires me?
Oh it would haaaave to be Todrick Hall.
I absolutely adore his works and his music.
Honestly I don’t know that many real drag queens as I wasn’t allowed to watch that kinda content growing up, so mostly I have discovered drag content to watch in the last two years.
Despite my drag ocs...
As
Like
Roman as Katherine of Aragon
Remus as Anne Boleyn
Patton as Jane
Janus as Anna of Cleves
Virgil as Kathrine Howard
And...
That’s it that’s the whole post.

Hi I’m your local friendly AroAce.
And my love language is gifts. As I’m writing this I’m currently sitting on the floor making stuff for my friends for Easter.
I love to make gifts for people. Or even buying stuff for them. I will sew them a stuffie, draw them a picture, pain and item for them, make a piece of jewelry or otherwise.
But the issue is,
I like presents too.
That doesn’t sound like a problem except that the people in my life don’t really do gifts.
My parents will typically do something that I was already in need of as my present and my friends will typically just mass produce some sort of pastry for the group to share.
And I know it’s greedy and selfish to want something more, something with more meaning.
But I can’t help it. I don’t talk to them about it because I know I would sound greedy and selfish. I just need to rant about it.
I’m sorry.
I love all things frog, mushroom, rainbow high… I have Ehlers danlos syndrome and use both a rollator and a cane. Enby that is bad at making friends but likes to have them. I adore many cartoons but haven’t seen even more.
