Guess what time of year it is 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

And that's that on that.

Apparently I wasn't done 🤔

These are FABULOUS, OP, but can I suggest one to the riff of "QUEERNESS IS NOT DEFINED BY THE AMOUNT PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED"?

Thanks! Here you go 🥰

Some other additions:

Inspired by @unicorn-in-the-library:

And because @surfs-up-roxy wanted an ace one:

I didn't want to make the message ace-specific because I wanted to make a point of how all of the above include aspec people, but I tried to use an ace colour palette for the background :) I also think the message applies especially (even if not exclusively) to the ace community!

Hope you like these 🥰

@rockmarina possibly “all labels were made up at one point, stop being an ass”?

I played around with the concept a bit, I hope you like it anyway!

I feel like this also needs to be said:

[ID:

Image 1: (in white text, on a background of rainbow watercolors) Gatekeeping hurts queer people who are questioning.

Image 2: (in white text, on a background of rainbow paint strokes) Gatekeeping hurts more queer people than it protects.

Image 3: (in white text, on a background of pastel watercolors) How about you let people question their gender and sexuality in peace.

Image 4: (in white text, on a photo of the rainbow pride flag flying in a blue sky) People don’t owe you a chronicle of their life experiences and feelings for you to decide whether they belong in their own community.

Image 5: (in white text, on a marbled pink background) I don’t know how to tell you this, but you are not the queer police.

Image 6: (in white text, on a background of multicolored textile) Stop siding with our oppressors.

Image 7: (in white text, on a photo of pieces of chalk arranged in a rainbow on asphalt) Not every queer person’s experiences need to be like yours.

Image 8: (in white text, on a background of shiny, rainbow chunks of metal (?)) Mind your own damn business.

Image 9: (in white text, on a mottled black & rainbow background) Let people change labels.

Image 10: (in white text, on a photo of a full moon in a dark sky) There’s no such thing as not being queer enough.

Image 11: (in white text, on a background of paint strokes in pink, white, magenta, purple and dark blue, the colors of the genderfluid pride flag) Vocabulary is designed to be constantly reinvented as human societies evolve, and labels aren’t the exception.

Image 12: (in white text, on a background of pink, purple, and turquoise) Gatekeeping is a product of privilege.

End ID]

Thanks so much for the image descriptions!

Here's one more addition per @secretlycrazyhummingbird's suggestion:

[Image description: (in white text, over a black background with trees decorated with multi-colored lights) Queer people don't have to make themselves palatable to deserve respect. End ID]

And another one, per @mixed-bag-of-tricks's suggestion!

[Image description: (in white text, over a wooden background with curved boards the colours of the rainbow) It's okay to use a label even if it doesn't fit perfectly. End ID]

...you know what, I think the message of this post really boils down to this:

[ID: (in white text, over a black background with striking rainbow lights) gatekeepers are nothing but bullies. End ID]

And I'm really glad this post has helped so many people feel a bit less alone in their struggles. Bullies have made a LOT of damage in this community—have made so many of us feel like impostors, like trenders, like maybe we were making up the things we were feeling—and it makes me so happy we're all pushing back against their hateful, narrow-minded, queerphobic rhetoric.

Keep it up, everyone 💪🏼

Some small wolfstar in this hard times

remus would have this handsome loud laugh with his mouth covered by his hand, closed eyes and leaning back

sirius would have this crazy adorable laugh when he cries, punch tables and folds in half with huge, honest smile on his face

Everyone else talked about outdoor cats, it's time for me to talk about offleash dogs

Reasons not to have your dog offleash at a public park:

1) roads (this one is self-explanatory)

2) it makes the park inaccessible to like, entire swathes of the population. If you have experience with police dogs or guard dogs in your neighborhood, or you're a new immigrant from somewhere with a large population of feral dogs, it sucks ass going to the park and having someone's massive lab bound up to you!

3) If, for example, you are in a protected wetland area plastered with friendly signs asking you to please leash your dog to avoid causing an ecological impact, having your dog offleash might cause an ecological impact! "Oh no, my dog is well-behaved, they would never bother the wildlife" wrong! your dog is in the pond trying to eat the endangered Blandings' turtles!

4) Non-zero chance of a jokerified park guide (me) just clipping your dog to a leash and stealing them

5) “Oh but my dog is friendly!” If your unleashed “friendly” dog runs up to my leashed UNFRIENDLY dog, and my dog bites yours, guess who’s getting the blame despite doing everything right?

Seriously, as a reactive dog owner it 1. Makes me really scared for the safety of all dogs involved 2. Is just annoying. My dog is triggered by your dog running up to her, which is needlessly stressful in an area where it’s illegal to have your dog off leash. The icing on top is that, when she starts barking and growling, people often go “Control your dog” - which I am, as she’s leashed and physically cannot harm your dog. Your unleashed dog, however, is by definition not under control.

Not finished but I didn’t really like It that much

I post it anyway cause it’s wolfstar

I am once again thinking about the marauders in their uniform shorts only with the new addition of this going on through third year (ty fantastic anon)

so what we’ve got is fourteen year old sirius trying so hard to make this work for him but it is simply not a good look. remus has had like three growth spurts since christmas and his uniform is on the verge of becoming indecent. meanwhile james is just out here living his best life and bemoaning the fact that they’ll have to wear trousers next term.

🤨 and 🫤

They are all rocking the shorts

when your boyfriend is a convicted criminal on the loose but needs some fresh air

if you know you know

this is what you draw on the floor in chalk and chicken blood to summon a fic writer

JUST LIKE TO EMPHASIZE: THIS IS FOR SUMMONING A FIC WRITER.  FURTHER, MORE SUBSTANTIAL SACRIFICES MIGHT BE REQUIRED IF YOU’D LIKE TO ACTUALLY CONJURE THE FIC.

OK but what if you're a baby animagus when you first do it and you need to grow into an adult form
