this is for all the bisexuals that drink chocolate milk from a wine glass alone in their room eating doritos while so strongly dissociating that they are somewhere in a bathroom crying during a 7th grade slumber party wondering whether or not to call their mom you 👏🏽 are 👏🏽 valid 👏🏽

“Fan fiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don’t do it for money. That’s not what it’s about. The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction. They’re fans, but they’re not silent, couchbound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language.”

my parents just told my nine year old brother that he should call me by my chosen name instead of my birth name. my father said “so ‘[birth name]’ won’t be said anymore” and his first response was “so like Darth Vader isn’t called Anakin Skywalker anymore”

our chosen names are just our sith names, welcome to the dark side
