‘Halt, in the name of Lord Hater!’ - ‘Look at you and your little hat!!’

We were at a convention near my place today and threw together some WOY cosplays for it!

We only stayed for like 3 hours so we took some quick pictures with our phones and I pretended to know photoshop for a bit so here’s a photoset. Better versions of these costumes will follow bc we had an amazing time cosplaying as these two nerds. :’>

$3+ Writing Requests

My buddy @fao-schwarz has been going through some shit lately, and I want to help raise some money for the guy.

I’ll be writing 500 word minumum requests in exchange for Ko-Fi donations.

Ko-Fi allows you to donate $3 or more to a person, and any amount will get you a lovely work of literature from yours truly. If you commission him, you’ll also get some writing as a special bonus.

The more you donate, the more words you get. Specifics can be worked out over IMs.

things i am going to teach my children later: the “pick one favourite” syndrome embedded in our culture is stupid and useless

it starts at fucking pre-school, in those little get-to-know-me books, and it never ends. favourite colour? mother tongue? favourite character? best friend? favourite sport? song? movie? book? series? band? toy? no you can only pick one

and i am deeply convinced that this is intrinsically linked to one of the things that annoys me the most, which is that in our society, it’s considered a sign of maturity to prioritise one thing, and often specifically one person, above everything else. i mean, priorities are definitely important, but you are also absolutely allowed to equally enjoy/love/feel connected to different things without constructing some kind of hierarchy where one of them always wins out

“you can only like one gender, you can only be one (of the two “biological” - ha) genders, you can only have one partner, you must have one best friend, you must have one favourite activity (preferably your job, bc that makes you a functional member of society) because clearly if you love multiple things, you must love them less than if you spent all that love on one thing”

this rhetoric creates so much guilt and jealousy - as if love is a finite concept.

(incidentally it is also possible to genuinely love something without it being one of the things you love the most, and that doesn’t make that love any less valid, but that’s another discussion)
