The blog's pretty organized so if you ever have a question about tags, let me know. Feel free to send me a message about anything. If you think ace and aro people aren't LGBT+ get the fuck off my blog.
I’m upset because I want to change the world but the world is too big and people are too mean

what have i done to deserve this. just stop reading if the lack of white people bothers you so much.
do I think this will stop these kind of comments at all? no. was it fun to add? yes.
someone messaged me saying how something i wrote diversity wise made them uncomfortable because they’d never been exposed to it before, but reading my fic helped them be more comfortable with it
which, now that i’ve been reminded of it, several other people have told me about different things over the years
with that in mind, i removed the above note (which i’m a little sad about, because i do think it’s funny)
i wouldn’t want to discourage people from reading it who are just going “wow that’s new, not sure how i feel about this thing i’ve never been exposed to before” because i think that’s a pretty normal reaction
it’s just everyone who goes “WOW i really NEED TO TELL THE AUTHOR how much i dislike THE LACK OF WHITE AND CIS PEOPLE” that i have a problem with.
oh well :)
You could always put it as an authors note mid fic, then people will already be attached to reading it lol
this post made me and my gf go back and watch the oscar-winning movie happy feet. i looked up the director, george miller, and found out happy feet is only his SECOND most profitable franchise. he is best known as the director of all the mad max films.
to present some information for those who have not seen happy feet: the penguins are animated, but the few humans in the film are live-action. the film has two main messages: accept those who are different than you, and a pro-environmentalism message about stopping ocean pollution and overfishing. spoilers for this 13-year-old movie, but it ends with the main character managing to get the humans to stop polluting and overfishing through the power of dance. meanwhile, mad max is a postapocalyptic series.
so… i propose a theory. happy feet and mad max take place in the same universe, but in different timelines. in the good timeline (the happy feet canon), mumble convinces the humans to stop destroying the earth using the power of dance. this leads into happy feet 2. in the bad timeline (the mad max canon), mumble fails to convince the humans. the penguin colony dies out, humans destroy the earth, and the mad max movies happen a few thousand years after happy feet 1.
PSA for all y’all asexual exclusionists out there. Asexuality is inherently queer. Deal with it. And while you’re at it support bisexuals, pansexuals, polysexuals, aromantic people, intersex ppl, trans people and non binary people y’all frequently forget us.
