The AO3 Tag of the Day is: I’m not ashamed of fluff
[image is a 4chan post. “Domminate the room, do what i do, get one of those 15L water cooler bottles and bring it to class slung over one shoulder, slam that motherfucker on the ground in the aisle.
Everytime you feel a little thirsty stand up, lift the bottle to your mouth with both arms, make sure you spill plenty of water over yourself and the floor every time you do, also, let out a deep, loud, exhalation of satisfaction after every sip, then finish the routine by slamming the bottle on the ground again before loudly saying “pfew, i needed that, i was getting a bit THIRSTY” yell thirsty as loud as you can.
When class finishes, pick up the bottle in such a way that the remainder pours out as you leave the room.”]

I thought I recognized this art so i looked at op’s blog
idk if y’all remember this homophobic mess of a comic. Granted people can change but op’s more recent stuff reflects the same views.
hi! wow, you have a good memory, this was almost a year ago!
I think you might have misinterpreted the comic. the joke was how she, an ace person, could forget something as obvious and familiar to other people as sexual attraction! I thought her reaction was so funny I suggested making a daily comic about it.
Lyd is my girlfriend! We’re in love! Passionate lesbian love. For four years now! Since that comic we moved in together and we’ve started building savings for our life together! We talk online (Twitter, we don’t really use tumblr) about struggles we face, homophobia, lesbian history and representation, and the intersection of being gay with being ace, not ace, gender conforming, and gender non-conforming. That comic you’re saying is homophobic might look like it to someone without the context of our life, and maybe it did cause a sapphic woman to feel alienated due to her sexual attraction. I understand that because I’ve felt that way many times from the words of both lgbt and non-lgbt people alike. But it was an accident, and while that can’t take away the damage, I promise that Lyd’s comics showing our happy life together, our posts online, even our youtube channel all do infinitely more good for fellow sapphic women and other lgbt people than this comic did bad. Lyd apologized for the misunderstandings and lack of clarity.
Please stop holding other lgbt people to an impossibly high standard. We have so many enemies in this world, the last thing we need is to be attacking each other for the smallest infractions.
It’s worth noting that Kenneth spent the entire episode making the game (and the subsequent fight) as inclusive as possible for JJ and his disabled friends (all of whom were played by disabled actors/actresses).
BONUS:
Bonus #2
Of course I had to show the best part:
Transcript: screencaps from ABC’s Speechless. JJ, a teenager with cerebral palsy, is playing a movie trivia game with Kenneth, his aide. Kenneth reads the card “What was Pierce Brosnan’s first James Bond movie?” He immediately answers his own question: “GoldenEye! In your face!” JJ, using his laser pointer, more slowly spells out GoldenEye on his communication board, and then gives Kenneth a very dirty look. “Okay, perhaps this isn’t the most inclusive trivia experience,” Kenneth admits. “How to level this playing field?” Kenneth reads out another trivia card: “Michael Myers’ mask was based on the face of what famous actor?“ Now both Kenneth and JJ are using laser pointers.
Bonus: JJ’s friend Aiden, a visually impaired teenager, says “Can we play?” Cut to Aiden, holding his cane, and JJ’s other friends, all also disabled teenagers. “Huh, let’s see,” Kenneth says. “Visual impairment, hearing impairment, Down syndrome, autism, and a walker. How to make this game fair for these beautiful kids?” Once they’re all ready to play: “Well, everyone has a laser and a letter board. Aiden, your letter board is extra large so you can read it. We’ll present all questions aurally and visually so hearing won’t be an issue.”
Bonus 2, the best part: Aiden says “You want to go?” Kenneth hastily gets between Aiden and JJ. “Whoa, whoa, whoa, no, no, no, no. Okay, guys, listen. This is a game, not a brawl.“ JJ spells out “What if we want a brawl?” One of the other teenagers, a girl, says “I know I do,” flapping emphatically. “Hmm,” Kenneth says. “What accommodations can I devise to allow these gorgeous youths an equal-opportunity death-match?”
