"Pride month is over"

WRONG! Your pride month is over! Me and all the other disabled queers are having pride month two: disability edition

Reblogging this again bc people in the notes are asking a lot of "Am I included? Am I disabled if I have x?" and I just wanted to add the flag here to show people who the pride month is for.

This is the new flag, the old one was more vivid and in a z shape, but it's been made more neutral to be inclusive of people with seizures or sensory issues.

Each stripe represents a different aspect of disability:

Red: Physical disabilities

Yellow: Cognitive & intellectual disabilities

White: (And this is the key one I think) Invisible AND undiagnosed disabilities

Blue: Mental illnesses

Green: Sensory disabilities

If you're autistic or have ADHD? this is your pride month. If you have a mental illness, it's your pride month. If you're hard of hearing, this is your pride month. If you have an autoimmune disorder, this is your pride month. If you are not diagnosed with anything but you know something is up with you: THIS IS STILL YOUR PRIDE MONTH.

Finally posting full Utopia art I made for @silverfanzine (still available for free). The rare moment of me making fully modelled background.

An icon for Sonic x Shadow Generations has been spotted on SteamDB. H/t to Bobnik from our Tails’ Channel community Discord. #SonicNews

it kinda looks like shadow is furiously throwing sonics at you

this might be a hot take but i think we should still be required to wear masks on airplanes

we need to start hounding people into wearing masks again. why aren’t you wearing a mask on public transit? why aren’t you wearing a mask in the crowded grocery store? why aren’t you wearing a mask in the literal hospital? if you’re half as progressive as you claim to be you’d require masks at your busy events. you’re not a progressive if you’re leaving out the immunocompromised. plus covid can still fuck you up even if you’re perfectly healthy and had your vaccines. wouldn’t you rather be unnecessarily cautious than risk getting yourself or someone else sick? put your mask back on in the crowded mall. coward

On your MOST FOLLOWED blog on Tumblr,

"Brother" and "Sister" are trans inclusive of course! Feel free to tag with which sibling is which to you.

lose yourself

Since I’m on the topic of stuff I didn’t know… I want to talk about aphantasia. Which is: “the inability to form mental images of objects that are not present.”

I had no idea that when people said “picture this” it wasn’t always metaphorical. I just assumed no one could picture anything. And since no one talked about it, I had no idea that some people can picture stuff in their head! It’s also apparently a scale where some people can picture everything and some people can picture a little with some people picturing nothing.

So, I’m curious again…

I'm curious let's go

there are a lot more abjectly harmful and meanspirited april fool's jokes out there but the one i personally find most annoying is when american game devs pretend that they're going to make a visual novel spinoff of their game because they can't imagine making visual novels in earnest

conversely, the sonic team won my everlasting respect by making their april fool's joke an actual complete visual novel without a hint of irony or disdain for the medium because the joke wasn't that it was a vn, it was that they fucking killed sonic

what's so striking to me about younger queer generations rn isn't the lack of knowledge about queer history, but the complete unwillingness to engage with it, when confronted with an identity or history they haven't heard of before they react with disgust rather than curiosity. (for example) instead of asking where the leather pride flag came from and what the leather community is and represents they immediately question the need for something like that to exist, not even willing to listen and learn from both elders and peers. this is also more broadly a problem in leftist spaces in general, being reactionary is somehow the default now, and anything that's different or unknown must be an attack and bad. really hoping y'all manage to grow out of this deeply conservative way of interacting with the world.

Arthurlot AU where Sir Lancelot of France and the disguised King Arthur of England first meet in an international jousting tournament. Arthur's identity is revealed halfway through the tournament and people keep withdrawing rather than face him, and he gets frustrated.

Until Sir Lancelot decides that he'll give King Arthur a run for his money. Their competitive spirit flares and their match proceeds.

It ends in a draw, neither holding back.

They congratulate each other as they both advance in the tournament.

Every time they're matched together in a tournament, they give it their all and it always ends in a draw. Their sense of competition grows stronger and they keep trying harder and harder. King Arthur appreciates the genuine challenge that Sir Lancelot poses to him, and Sir Lancelot enjoys the contest to his title as the Ultimate Knight. Over and over they clash, unable to defeat each other, and yet they look forward to their duels the most.

And then one day, Sir Lancelot lands a blow that knocks King Arthur off his horse. It's the first time either of them has won a tournament against the other.

King Arthur takes his defeat in stride, meeting Sir Lancelot with his hand outstretched and a smile on his face. "Congratulations, Sir Lancelot. You've finally bested me."

Their hands meet, holding on a little too long.

"Name your prize, Sir. You've earned it."

Sir Lancelot grips the hand in his and sinks to a kneel. He kisses his hand, where his ring would be, peering up at King Arthur through the slits in his visor.

"Name me as one of your own."

The crowd gasps. A French knight, bequeathing himself to an English king? A stir ripples through the stands as King Arthur grins at the request.

"It is done, my Lancelot."
