more queer media aimed at young teenagers not just so the new wave of young queer kids have positive, joyful, proud representation, but also for those of us who grew up without it. who had to suppress it and ignore and make it palatable because the media was cold and uncaring. who had to settle for sexualization and fetishization and closeting and death. more positive queer media aimed at young teenagers so they can grow with it and so we can heal the inner thirteen year old who was cringey and awkward and queer and just wanted to be loved so, so badly

underrated Heartstopper moment: Nick’s little smile after Darcy puts “we’re such meddling gays and I love it” on the group chat because yeah. the feeling of being surrounded by other queer people for the first time and being able to make jokes about it knowing that you’re in a safe space. knowing the people around you Get It for the first time. finding a place where queerness is lighthearted when it feels so overwhelming when you first discover it. its such a specific queer experience and I felt so seen in that moment.

if you don’t know the difference between a hare and a rabbit you’ve never gazed into the cold wild eyes of a hare and known that if it could speak it would speak backwards

Jack Rabbits are North American Hares and they’re the WORST to encounter at night becuase:

• You all know how big a rabbit is.  Jack Rabbits and hares are much bigger. they’re the size of large cats or small dogs or just-walking-age children.
  
• They also like to hang out in gangs of a hlf dozen to over 30.
• and in the middle of backcountry dirt roads.
• perhaps they’re dustbathing
• or blood sacrifce
• I don’t know because when you come up the road at night because your dog has a tiny bladder and needs to go out at midnight and you have no yard so you’re walking him on the dirt road around your neighborhod because you might aw well get some stargazing in, and you come just over the ridge to see a coven of twenty jackrabbits in the middle of the road
• and
• they
• all
• stand
• up
• not just onto all fours like a proper prey animal
• No they get up on thier hind legs and don’t just sit but STAND like tiny rabbit-skinned toddlers, wobbing slightly as they stare directly at you eyes shining in your flashlight’s glow

• …Blood Red.
  
• And a chill goes through you on that warm july night because while they’re a puntable size and allegedly herbivores they’re standing and watching you just like people and you are vastly outnumbered.
• everyone freezes
• you’re considering your odds aganst roughly 200lbs of Suspiciously Humanoid Hare
• and they’re considering their odds against you
• the only sound in the never-ending high desert wind 
• somewhere in your peripheral vision you can see the streetlights but they seem awfully far away
• The nearest Jack Rabbit
• Blinks
• and takes a single shuffling step

• forward
• You area an overdevloped monkey and your prefrontal cortex is capable of some amazing feats but it runs very slowly compared to the reflexes of a rabbit and you’re frozen as you desperately scramble for the appropriate course of action, hands feeling thick and useless, mouth dry and feet imeasurably heavy there’s no way you’d outrun THESE, god there’s a rabies outbreak going around that shit’s not curable-
  
• The Dog
  
  
  
  
• L U N G E S
• It’s only the briefest of movements but the animal you’d picked out for his gangly legs and floppy ears and goofy smile is suddenly a dark shape of muscle and teeth and had flung himself at the horrible goblin rabbits faster than mere physics should dictate, appearing in the circle of the flashlight for only the briefest of moments before the jolt from the leash makes you stumble and the light falters
• The Jack Rabbits
  
  
  
  
• Scatter
• Vanishing into the faintly starlit sagebrush in as so many faint gray shapes that might be mistaken for the dustclouds they kick up
  
  
  
• Later, you sit on the couch disquieted
• and you wonder
• If the sight of the Jack Rabbits standing and studying you was frightening enough to make you yearn for the safety of the yellowed streetlights
• what must it be like from thier end?
• what terrifying creature 
• deliberately ties itself
• to something so horrible
  
• As a Dog?

@gallusrostromegalus that last bit gave me such a strong mental image I absolutely had to draw it

WELL HOLY SHIT.

CONGRATULATE, THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING FOR.

is it ok if I print it out and stick it on the fridge?

I don’t think you’re ready to have an adult conversation about politics until you’re able to admit that there are things you love and enjoy that would not and should not exist in a just world. $8 billion dollar budget movies every other month don’t exist in a just world. New 900 GB AAA video games every year don’t exist in a just world. Next day delivery doesn’t exist in a just world. 80 different soda brands don’t exist in a just world. 

All of those things come from exploitation on some level, and if you wouldn’t trade those for a world where everyone can eat and have a home no matter who they are or what they do, I don’t know what to tell you.

look, I know it’s ~problematic~ for all kinds of reasons but I do kind of love when there’s a character with few or no scruples who outsources their moral compass to someone else

it’s sort of the equivalent of when a cat jumps up somewhere they shouldn’t be and you just pick them up and move them off it, only with murder or whatever. 

character a looking at character b like “okay is this a situation where I can do a murder” and character b like. “no. we’ve gone over this.”

I just find it very funny

It also allows for the situation where A asks if it’s murder time and B, with barely contained fury vibrating in every vein, replies, “Yes.”

You see this in tabletop gaming groups a lot, where someone’s the morality pet for the guy who just wants to kick in the door and kill everything behind it.  Shadowrun and Cyberpunk are infamous for having these situations, usually when you have one player reigning in the guy who’s basically a human brain mounted in a mini-mech.

Also, I appreciate when the “God save your sorry ass if you hurt their moral compass” sub trope comes into play.
