The Magnus Archives was a podcast
I think about this post so much! When I finally tell my family that I'm queer I would love to throw a party. Make a rainbow layer cake and get each person to wear a different rainbow color!
I know gender reveal parties seem like cishet nonsense but it would be cool af if coming out parties became a thing. Like, a world where a kid (or adult, for that matter) genuinely has the ability to announce their sexuality to the world, no matter what it is. I’d imagine they generally take place in middle or high school, sort of when kids start actually dating, and would be thrown by a few older relatives, but it could also be totally acceptable to wait until you’re older and throw one yourself or have friends throw it. Instead of the stereotypical nervous “mom…dad…I’m gay” it’s more LIKE a gender reveal party, because you cheer no matter the result because “what’s really important is that they’re healthy and happy.” And kids can say with equal confidence and excitement “I’m straight,” “I’m gay,” “I’m bisexual,” “I’m asexual,” “I’m…”
I swear podcasts are wild.. I go from "love is all you need" Jack Wright to "I don't know a scientist" Cecil in one day
My heart can't take all these emotions 😭
Ron will be the worst at relaying that whole conversation to the other dads and I cannot wait
ah yes the 15 fears. goal oriented furries. music that makes you go apeshit. fucking off to sea. moisturized clowns. extreme home makeover: door edition. nihilistic hentai. singing and the rain. academic truth or dare. the bee movie extended universe. yeeting people. the power of vore and friendship. simon says: spider edition. a parents guide to arson. the sun but evil. and of course: cringe umbrellas.
Juno and Rita’s friendship gives me enough serotonin for the year

Like what you like, love what you love, and to hell with all the rest of it.
Who cares what other people think, live your life for you!
Here is the secret to fandom:
Give zero fucks about what anyone else is doing.
Seriously. I mean it. Because inevitably you will love something that no one else loves. Or you will love something that everyone loves and people will shit all over it because it’s “so trite and unimaginative and done.” Or you will love something that no one else has ever heard of. Or you will love something dark and edgy and or obscure and people will roll their eyes and say, “What, do you want people to think you’re dark and edgy and obscure?”
Alternatively, you will not love the thing that everyone else loves, and you will wonder what precisely is wrong with you that the sight of that thing is aggravating the shit out of you now when the whole world sings its praises as one.
People will irritate you. They’ll irritate you with headcanons that make no sense and misinterpretations of canon. They will make the same jokes 500 times. They will overwhelm your corner of fandom with something you either are tired of hearing about or don’t care about. They will post art that isn’t theirs. You will meet people who think you are the greatest person ever and bombard you with messages only to wander off when they find someone new or shinier; you will meet people whom you admire and who do not really seem to notice you exist.
So give zero fucks about it. Seriously. Like what you like, blacklist what you need to blacklist, and ignore everything else. Be friends, play nice, enjoy it. And in the meantime, just do you. Like what you like, love what you love, and to hell with all the rest of it.
Somebody give my poor boy Grant a hug!! I hope he and Terry can talk cause this boy needs a good friend!
