Makenzie. queer (adjective), queer (noun), writer, sex ed person. if you watched Kraven the Hunter (2024) because of me then you may be entitled to financial compensation. icon and header by inaudiblysticky.

ahoy

I'm not a doctor or a therapist; please don't ask me questions that I would ethically need an advanced degree to answer.

Sex Ed FAQs are here; you HAVE to read these before sending in your question pleeeeeease please please please. apparently this link doesn't work for some people using the tumblr app on androids so copy paste this into your browser I guess: https://batmanisagatewaydrug.tumblr.com/faq

the sheet for the 2025 Book Bingo is here! it's never too late to take part!

other frequently asked questions:

how do you feel about people who are trans/ace/aro/whatever other queer identity is currently contentious?

love 'em all, they're great.

I like the weird shit you do here, how can I give you money?

my ko-fi is here, my cheap-ass patreon is here

what’s your whole deal?

queer

okay, what are your pronouns?

"I still rather think that pronouns come to me from others, which I find interesting, since I receive an array of them – so I am always somewhat surprised and impressed when people decide their own pronouns or even when they ask me what pronouns I prefer." - Judith Butler

I saw one of your posts on TikTok.

okay. what am I supposed to do about that?

what is Batman a gateway drug to?

caring about DC Comics. I don't recommend doing this.

how do I start reading Batman? do you have comic recs?

you don't want my advice on this, the way I'm reading Batman comics is bad. it involves a spreadsheet and (mostly) every issue of every Bat-title published between 1986 and 2011 and I assure you that you don't want in on this. go read literally anything that's not by DC or Marvel you'll lose less brain cells.

why haven't you answered the DM I sent you? are you mad at me?

I probably haven't even noticed you sent it, I don't really check my DMs.

what’s your favorite color?

have you seen [insert movie/TV show]?

I've never seen a movie or TV show in my life and I don't want to.

what will happen if I walk through this ghostly doorway that’s appeared at the back of my room?

oh, great question. if you find yourself standing alone in a star-lit clearing with a pang of nostalgia in your belly, you’ll probably be just fine. if there’s a charming, talkative animal waiting for you with a kind smile that doesn’t reach its eyes, I’m afraid you’ll need to run. if you look closely you’ll notice that smile has a few too many teeth.

I caught a really nice thunderstorm that I think you’ll like, can I send it to you?

yes, and thank you in advance. sprinkle some glitter on it and hurl it into any convenient body of water; I’ll find it eventually.

are you a Moth Prince apologist?

for the last time, just because he has my sword does not mean I condone every individual action he takes. there’s such a thing as nuance.

what if this FAQ has only raised further questions?

my condolences.

how come you'll say tragedy is your favorite genre and then 100 thousand million people will be like "you should check out this adaptation of this famous tragedy but the twist is there's a happy ending this time." GET THAT AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nobody ever tells me to check out a Hamlet adaptation where things go even worse for him

Hamlet but he slept weird and is neck hurts a little bit through the whole play

honestly I think everyone should just play Hamlet this way anyway. he should have a tension migraine

Anonymous asked:

what’s your favorite book by Octavia Butler?.

i’m asking because honestly my white homeschooled sheltered ass had never heard of her until your blog but now that i have i’m really interested in her work! and i figure the favorite of who i learned about her from would be a good starting place.

ooooh that's so hard, I love most of Butler's books!

Kindred I think is an absolute standalone masterpiece and a great intro to her work and themes. Fledgling is also a standalone is one of my personal favorites for its unique take on vampires, and delving deep into Butler's interest in exploring erotic power dynamics. Wild Seed, which is the chronological first book in the Patternmaster series (the order in which the series was released is not the same order in which the events take place; I recommend reading them chronologically rather than in release order) absolutely knocked me out and one of the sequels, Survivor, was REALLY fun even though Butler disowned the work and it's very hard to get ahold of of a copy (I read a printed PDF lmao), really great old school Would That Be Fucked Up Or What? sci-fi. and her short story collection, Bloodchild, is of course iconic.

If you're someone who believes in the "Good Freak" vs "Bad Freak" shit just know I'm one of the Bad Freaks and you're getting blocked. Thanks.

Our glorious coping mechanism vs their barbarous sexualization of trauma. Get a grip.

i think when it comes to knowledge gaps (especially on tumblr) its easy to get insecure about not knowing everything. but the real secret is that you can get away with not knowing everything if you just dont insert yourself into conversations you dont understand with blind confidence. the internet also gives you the privilege of 1) googling/wikipediaing shit before you say it, and 2) not volunteering how little you know. you dont actually have to enter the conversation just to say how little you know. part of the stereotype of dipshit stupid american on here is that americans will say full chestedly that they dont know which continent tchad is in and then go out of their way to justify it with their lack of education. when no one asked them to say either thing. and even if someone did ask, you are never under any obligation to actually answer.

Hi sex witch, I have a weird thing happening to me. I have a yeast infection in my vagina and I've been trying to cure it with Canesten medication. I've tried both the hard vaginal pill with lube and the soft capsule without lube (which was painful af, that shit sticks to your pussy walls). I've put both of, before going to bed, definitely far enough. But both of them just fell out without dissolving the next day, and idk if I need to put in 3rd medication & what I'm doing wrong.

hi anon,

I'm very sorry you're struggling with this. it sounds like this is entering the realm of a question better directed to a healthcare provider; advice on how to take medication is a bit outside of what feels responsible for me to opine on, especially since untreated infections can have serious consequences. wishing you a speedy resolution 💜

Hello Sex Batman it is me romance novel anon again! Glad you’re back from being evil. My romance recs are:

The whole Brown Sisters trilogy but ESPECIALLY Act Your Age, Eve Brown by the inimitable Talia Hibbert (my fav of all time)

Just For The Summer by Abby Jimenez (actually really emotionally hard hitting/intense but so cathartic & good)

The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory (classic fairly low stakes fake dating to real dating, snappy prose and pretty sweet, my most recent read)

Sweeten the Deal by Katie Shepard (bit of an age gap but rly interesting power dynamics because the younger woman is his sugar mommy?)

Kiss Her Once For Me by Alison Cochran (yes it’s a Christmas book but it’s worth it) and also Second Chances in New Port Stephen by TJ Alexander (also a Christmas book, also excellent)

The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston (I read a lot of books set at funeral homes, and the protagonist of this one can see ghosts!)

The whole The Last Binding trilogy by Freya Marske (these are also historical fantasy?)

I hope you have a great rest of your week and thank you for the recs! I’ve already read The Kiss Quotient and enjoyed it, excited to sink my teeth into more of the list. :-)

god this is so funny, I didn't care for Get A Life Chloe Brown at all and HATED the male lead by the end, and I could not stand any part of Kiss Her Once For Me, but I'm really excited to check out the others!
