ronan panicking over the possibility of adam not getting into heaven because of his “agnostic tendencies” is so funny bc first of all you two are literally having premarital gay sex and second of all adam has killed a man
oh dear. definitely don’t start thinking about how the ultimate conclusion of the raven cycle is that sometimes it’s okay to want to live the rest of your life or to simply have a rest of your life. even if it isn’t grand. or magical. or special in some way. that just living is okay. in fact, just living is enough.
genuinely concerned about how little queer history thats getting through to the younger members of the community. literally saw teenagers talking about how talking about pronouns wasn’t a thing until 2020??? horrifying to think that they seem to insist queer culture didn’t exist until they found it.
the fucking attack helicopter joke has been around since 2014!! leslie feinberg was born in 1949 and ze used ze/hir pronouns and obviously made comics about hir and hir communities identity and life! phalloplasty was first described in 1938!! christine jorgensen had surgery in the 50s to transition and published her biography in the 60s! even in the 1800s writers were talking about the need for *gender neutral* pronouns in both fiction and nonfiction!
yes, social media has let trans and queer people spread more knowledge about pronouns and identity, but acting like none of it even existed till the 2010s or even sooner is… concerning.
our older generations died, but that doesn’t mean the knowledge has to die too! do not ignore and diminish the people before you.
Not to mention that many native cultures have words for third, or in between genders. Some languages weren’t didn’t even have gendered terms until colonization
