I have a webtoon called Stepping into the Dark
My art blog is @82jayk28
I have many little hyperfixations such as SMG4, Malevolent, The Magnus Archives, Lego Monkey Kid, and more!
My strawpage and Webtoon:

"But won't children be confused by all the LGBT-"
Yesterday I saw a mother with a baby carriage, being followed by a girl of about 4-6 years old on a bicycle. The kid started ringing her bike bell like RING RING RING RING RING RING RING, and the mother turned to look behind them to see whether they were being followed by a cyclist who desperately needs to pass them for the sake of everyone's safety.
And the little girl - who just rang the goddamn bell herself 5 seconds ago - also turned to look.
Kids are confused by everything at all times. They don't know jack shit. About anything.
i remember being like 8 or 9 and being told that my dad’s ex-wife was no longer diane and we were to address her as daniel now. my reaction: “ok.”
me and my brother later had a small discussion about whether that could happen randomly (conclusion: no, he probably had to file papers or something) and whether daniel should now be referred to as dad’s ex-husband (conclusion: yes but only to see the face he’ll make) but at no point did we find it like... alarming? the world is big and weird. we were used to it.
finding out a sorta-relative could just change genders off camera, as it were, was a whole lot less head-splodey than finding out there were no squirrels in australia!
There’s no what
"Won't they be confused by all the--" So what if they are? Life is often confusing. That's part of how we learn. Part of the job of an adult is to help confused kids learn and understand things. There's no obligation to protect the kids from the confusing things. Quite the reverse.
In my experience anyone using this BS excuse isn't worried about a child's potential confusion, but their own, which they don't want to admit to having.
theres no squirrels in australia???
Aussie here, I DIDN'T KNOW SQUIRRELS WERE ACTUALLY REAL FOR THE FIRST EIGHT YEARS OF MY LIFE NO JOKE I THOUGHT THEY WERE A MYTHICAL ANIMAL LIKE UNICORNS
WHAT??
Also kids are far less likely to be confused by something the younger they learn about it. Kiddo had queer people in his life and casual references to queerness before he could even talk. It was never confusing for him. It was normal.
Squirrels were an invasive species to Australia but they never managed to gain a foothold and were eradicated within a few years of their arrival.
I remember the Palm Squirrels in Perth... But I think they've been eradicated too.
Also my older sister thought Narwhals were mythical for an embarrassingly long time.
EXCUSE ME?! WHY HAVE I NEVER KNOWN THIS?!
the hilarity of a serious discussion mixed with "THERES NO SQUIRRELS IN AUSTRALIA?!?!?!??!?"
also Narwhals are real?!
YES THEY'RE REAL DID YOU THINK THEY WERE MADE UP????
@herobrine-offical I'm going to need you to answer this honestly. Did you know that a narwhal's horn thing is it's tooth.
what???
I was literally just telling one of my non Aussie friends that there's no Squirrels in australia the other day, the timing of this coming up in my feed is perfect
My single contribution to the PHM fandom
I feel like a major reason as to why John feared losing Arthur so much during season 4 (outside of the other obvious reasons), was because he already believed he had lost Arthur. That Arthur finding out about John making Faroe an orphan, is such a horrible betrayal that it is inevitable that Arthur will leave him.
Season 4 John feels like he is desperately trying to make amends, and reckon with how much pain he has brought Arthur, either purposefully or incidentally. But is very limited in how he can accomplish this because, he’s lying to Arthur, and has the deal with Kayne to priorities. So all of John’s solutions are very cold and survival focused. While he’s having to deal with his own capabilities wavering. John is scared he is no longer reliable to actually protect Arthur, or fix this mess. John feels like he’s desperately trying to disprove he’s a “monster” or that he hasn’t changed. While reckoning with the bone cathedral, and the fact that PARKER HAS ONLY BEEN DEAD FOR A COUPLE MONTHS AAAAAHHHH.
the way I hear people talking about Lilith made me think I was going to hate her
But she's amazing
Like she's an asshole definitely but omfg the way she talked about Faroe and she genuinely does have feelings, she's not too different from John
And her connection to Arthur and Faroe being the way it is because of kayne, I think she sees a little bit of Kayne inArthur, and that's part of the reason she was so eager to poke at Faroes death
