It’s complicated and may end up getting me involved in school politics. I’m not out. But I made pride themed bookmarks and my students liked them. I hope it counts for something.
like i sent her a message asking what she likes in a tdbm fic and she said everything except homosexuals. because she doesn't believe in that. which is like. so funny 2 me. the homosexual is on your blog. the homosexual is writing your fic. the homosexual is in your mind.
tdbm fandom was kind of a wild time in it's prime. I, a lesbian, in a secret santa organized by another queer person, got given a homophobic person to write for.
i would sometimes get a note from her, check her blog, yep. still homophobic. so then i would post something like 'I AM A LESBIAN WOMAN WHO WANTS TO HAVE SEX WITH OTHER WOMEN' hoping she was still online. no i don't know why i did psychological warfare instead of blocking either.
one time, on tumblr i got like a metric ton of notes from this girl on my tdbm posts (dont even remember what character or ship) and then she followed me. i went to her blog. first post she's calling gay people degenerates. i literally had that i was a lesbian in my bio.
i never blocked her, or anything (i dont block on tumblr unless you really piss me off) and she followed me, a humble charlie/lawson truther, for a very long time for a homophobic person.
paul/dylan goes so hard. two guys with an uncomfortable age gap and insane power imbalance got a weird gay thing going on...like yes please...and in 2005 too....
