The worst thing about Riggins being the Daedalus to Dirk’s Icarus isn’t just that he created the wings that led to his son burning and falling to his death. It’s that he also designed and built the labyrinth Blackwing that put them in danger in the first place.

“go cry about it” and “die mad about it” are two powerful and spicy moods, but while i was talking with some friends we realized that if you fuse them it creates something even more powerful: “go die about it”

someone: fuckin sjws are-

me: sucks. go die about it

once love, simon opens the cinematic doors for lgbt rom coms it’s over for hetero bitches

just found out that people are boycotting this movie because the author is straight…….honestly if y’all let this movie flop i’m coming for everyone’s throats! no mercy! this is such a fake woke agenda! love, simon doesn’t deserve this! if y’all wanted to boycott an lgbt movie call me by your name was right there but y’all let that bitch prosper! 

I actually looked up the author, Becky Albertalli, a while back when I was first getting hyped for Love, Simon, and from what I found (and please let me know if I’m wrong, this info is coming from a few quick google searches) she hasn’t just created multiple, well-written LGBTQ characters, she also worked for years with LGBTQ teens and support groups, particularly for gender nonconforming kids. If that doesn’t tell you how far this woman is willing to go to aid LGBTQ folk, I don’t know what will.

YEP. She addresses this in the very end of Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda in her acknowledgements – she wrote the book with the help of a multitude of LGBTQ teenagers. She wrote what she knew from experience, but for the things she did not have experience with, she sought the wisdom of the people she was writing the book for. She is a genuinely awesome ally. 

I’m going to repeat what I said on twitter

Why is it that a fluffy high school AU is just fine when it’s for a popular m/m ship on A03 and literally hundreds of fics exist for this trope

But when we get a chance for original mainstream gay content, the acceptable standards suddenly increase by 150%? 👀

I’m not saying I’m definitely an NPC, but if I am a protagonist, the game I’m starring in is probably free-to-play.

Makes sense:

• I can only do something useful once every few hours
• Ads are everywhere
• The pacing seems designed to be deliberately frustrating
• A lot of the hassle would go away if had a ton of money
