Let It Be Queer

They say, “Not everything needs to be queer.”

And I laugh, sharp and bitter, because for centuries, everything was straight by force. By fire. By blood.

They scorched the stories clean of anything that dared to kiss differently, to love sideways, to breathe without shame.

They straightened spines with belts and broken bottles, burned closets into coffins, rewrote every story with a boy-meets-girl ending, and called it normal.

They ask why queerness is everywhere now, like it hasn't always been, hidden in margins, coded in glances, murmured in alleys.

As if queerness is an invasion, not a reclamation.

As if we are not dragging back the stolen colors, the fragmented mirror-shards of people who lived and died without names or pronouns that the world would allow.

Why does everything have to be queer now?

Because everything was queer once, before they made us scrub the rainbow from our skin.

Because boys wrote poetry for each other under candlelight, and women kissed in fields when no one was watching, and gods loved all kinds of bodies before monotheism locked the doors.

Because the truth was always there, tucked beneath editors’ pens and straight actors’ faces and censored scripts and redacted diaries.

Because we are still fighting to see ourselves in stories that don’t end with death or betrayal.

Because when a queer character is joyful, alive, complex, we hear the furious shatter of another old rule breaking.

And yes, maybe not everything needs to be queer, but the air feels lighter when some of it is.

When a boy holds a boy’s hand on screen and doesn’t let go.

When a girl finds her softness in another girl’s eyes.

When nonbinary kids see that the world might just be big enough for them, too.

We are not taking over. We are taking back.

They’ve had every story for decades, for centuries— let us breathe in this one.

—T.W.

i hear that all too often, and this poem helped me remember that it's fine if it is all queer

thank you op. this pulled at my heartstrings

Not me gimme that 1800 psi bite force

I chose the clones.

BITE FORCE BITE FORCE BITE FORCE

Reblog to give prev a fucking break holy shit y’all

Yes. We all need a fucking break

Who wants to be the brown haired white guy to my pink haired persona that belongs to a certain fandom

So... does anybody have a plan to get fuschia back?

@the-rodhaj @the-gulhaj @the-magentahaj @the-smahaj @den-av-alla-hajen @the-hajhaj

Well first we need to know where they've been taken exactly. @the-hajhaj, you and Avryl have done a bunch of interdimensional travel no? Do you have any idea if we could track down fushia?

I've been to another universe before

My point still stands.

Also, it was a dead one.

You know what? I'm going to go and get fuschia back because I can easily escape.

Didn't you just say you were too weak to do much?

I know, I know.

But also, as I stated earlier, fuschia is a creature of this universe, my domain, and will not be taken from here, their rightful home.

We've had some... rather rocky relationships but despite that I still like you, and I don't think going in without a plan is a good idea. You could get hurt. Let's try to figure out something together before getting fushia back ok?

I have survived a singularity, and I think I can live a couple of creativity takers.

If you really are worried about me, I can take someone along, you pick.

They did just best you in your own domain, going out to fight them in their home sounds like a terrible decision strategically. Besides, you really don't need to be going alone, there are a bunch of hajs here ready to get fushia back, we just need to know how. And you seem to know how, so if you could share that knowledge that'd be great.

Okay, so you're going to want to take 5 drong in the hequ side of the universes, then take 2 wymps to the rupion side of those universes, then you'll be there.

....someone smarter than me will probably understand what that means

5 lightyears north, 2 parsecs left

no no no, all of that directs are concerning, north is magnitism related what dimensional or multidimensional object is at least 5 lightyears long and is generating magnetism and on top of that, what. do you mean. l e f t ? after 5 lightyears what is making a standard reference point of left and right? is there a little path out there? a road? is some little outpost planet with its own gravity? the aforementioned 5 lightyears long magnetized object?

also should probably be at least 0.9 teraparsecs left to be out of the dimension, but probably a quettalightkalpa to be safe

Don't know who you are vampire, but it sounds like you got alot of knowing on the subject.

Wanna join the rescue team?

btw you might be transmutated into a shark if you agree

We do that?

I've clearly missed something important, huh. What is going on?

warthauraties took fuchsia and refuse to co-operate

Oh dear. We should probably deal with that.

We're trying but so far no ideas.

I feel so powerless…

What can I even do…? ✨

perhaps make a deal with rosanilin to tap into her power and locate the dimension, then i’ll use project ex supercharged with the Andraxus Core to create a portal to it. we can plan more from there.

I couldn’t certainly try, I suppose. My deal with Magenta isn’t a one way street, just as long as she returns the favor…

However, I’m not one to mess with alternate dimensions. My power mostly rests in the one I was created in, and the one I dwell.

all i need is what dimension it is. also exi add that to the document of rosanilin.

Well played. I’ll look into it.

found anything?

I’ve tried ⨅ꖎꖎ!¡⚍リ !¡⚍ᔑ⍊ ᔑ𝙹ꖎ!¡|| ᔑ𝙹⍊ʖリ𝙹ᔑ⨅ ᔑ𝙹||⍊ʖリ𝙹 ꖌ!¡ᒲᒲꖎ||ꖎ⚍ᔑ ꖌ!¡ℸ ̣ ꖎ⚍⨅!¡⍊⚍⍑ᓭ ╎⍑||||!¡ꖎ||⨅. I’ve been able to do something similar once before, albeit to much smaller scale, and for a short moment.

Hopefully it would give me a clue where they are.

I started focusing on the kid since Magenta has been around them more often, but I can’t find them, nor could I find whoever took them.

I heard something concerning a while ago, but it was too fuzzy to make out.

I already gave you all the directions to the universe they're in.

Well, the only problem now is how do all of us get there. The sparvs could probably take us, but I'm not sure if any of us could fit in their spaceship, let alone use it to get there. And there are only so many of us able to survive in the first place.

Only I, hajhaj, haj if I gave her a little more power, and I assume guld can travel universes.

So most of hajhaj is going to be taking the rescue team.

Once again I've travelled to other universes before

It was worth it tho

In fact, it wasn't

Excuse me, what the helvete is going on? What is this about traveling between universes?

kidnapping

I broke down the door to the lab. The geiger counter is going off like I'm standing in a nuclear reactor. Salt is gone, vanished without a trace.

Oh no! Someone else have been kidnapped! We must find salt aswell...

I wonder if this is correlated to @the-fuchsiahaj disappearance...

from what I can tell, Salt's trying to deliver vigilante justice against the guys that took fuschia

So... does anybody have a plan to get fuschia back?

@the-aftonsparv if we make it there on time you gotta defend them. Use your attorney powers for good!!
