Friends of Dorothy
A “Friend of Dorothy” is any LGBTQ+ person. ✨ The phrase dates back to at least World War II, when homosexual acts were illegal in the United States. Stating that, or asking if, someone was a friend of Dorothy was coded language used to find other members of the LGBTQ+ community discreetly, and safely. Whatever its origins, “friend of Dorothy” illustrates several of the most important functions of folklore that serve members of the LGBTQ+ community. The phrase helped to maintain the stability, solidarity, cohesiveness, and identity of the group within the larger culture at a time when those qualities were much needed.Post link
A redraw of a old illustration from 4 years ago. So fun and useful exercise.
Have a nice day by twenggg
I’m going to the Pacific Northwest in a few weeks. I’m beyond excited to see a new piece of our great country.

M’athchomaroon! If you came looking for David J. Peterson’s Tumblr, you found it! Sadly, it is no longer being maintained. If you’d like to find out what I’m up to now, check one of these places:

Yes, you read right: I’ve started an AO3. Does that mean I’m writing fanfiction? No, I’m afraid not. Instead, for those who followed this Tumblr specifically for my posts on dialogue on the various shows I’ve worked on (e.g. after the episode airs I post all the dialogue with translations), you can now go there. I’ll continue those posts there, and tag the relevant fandoms in the tags. If I ever want to write something else language-y, I’ll probably do so there as well, and then I’ll tweet it out. I can’t imagine that I’ll be as active there as I was here, but it’s nice to know there’s a place I can go to put out something longer than a tweet.
As for Tumblr, it’s been amazing. From becoming Tumblr famous overnight due to reblogging a post about life hacks(yes,that literally happened), to discoursing on spoons, to now, it’s been an amazing half a decade (maybe more?). I’m still easy to find on the internet. If I come to your home town, let me know and we can say hey.
For now, though, a fond farewell from me and little Roman. Ai gonplei ste odon.
