I truly love how queer can mean “Eh I’m some flavour of Not-Cishet but I don’t care to know the specifics beyond that” but also “I absolutely do know the specifics but we will be here all damn day if we get into it” and like. Everything in between. I think that’s incredibly powerful of us tbh.
Yeah! Covering from “the specifics don’t matter to me” to “the specifics don’t matter to YOU” and all the space in between!
I don’t know abou the rest of you, but to me that sounds like the term ‘Queer’ is just shorthand for 'not Straight’ and is basically worthless.
Well, aside from the fact that intersex and trans people can be straight and still be queer… The ambiguity is the point for a lot of us also. A declaration of 'no one is entitled to know exactly how I am outside the expected norm’.
Queer also has a long history of being explicitly a political label as much as an LGBT+ one, but tbh that’s not something I have the spoons to get into rn.
A label is supposed to mean something. How good is a label that effectively boils down to the literary equivalent of a shrug?
Se my previous post for your answer.
If you were actually curious and engaging in good faith, you would find so much already written on that exact question by so many queers going back decades. Since you’re not, I see no need to waste my breath. Have a nice day.

Queer Creator Showcase
Alright here we go! Queer Creator Showcase year 2!
For everyone who missed it last year, this a mini-pride month event open to all creators who identify as queer or part of the queer community. All kinds of creative works - drawings, crochet, music, writing, etc - are welcome. It’s also open to all skill levels, whether you started on your medium last week or last decade.
Some quick rules/guidelines:
- You may include a maximum of 5 pieces, across all medium. Ex: 5 poems, 2 drawings and 3 plush toys, etc.
- Please submit all pieces in a single post.
- Ideally, post it on your own blog and tag me (@queercutlureis) in it. If you can’t, for whatever reason, please shoot me a DM and we’ll figure something out.
- Please keep it SFW! No sexual and/or kinky content, thank you!*
- Please feel free to introduce yourself and your work! A few lines about who you are, what themes you’re interested in, what draws you to your medium(s) would be lovely! But of course, no pressure if you’re not comfortable with this.
- Related to the previous - feel free to include a link to your commission listings, soundcloud, etsy, patreon, etc.
- I’ll be accepting submissions from now (17th of May) until the 20th of June, to give everyone plenty of time to get things together. The showcase will begin on the 1st of June and end on the 30th of June.
*No shame in this, as always! It’s just for my own personal comfort, running it on my own as a sex repulsed person.
are we allowed to reblog posts and tag you in the reblog? i have a side blog full of poetry that i’d love to submit - i can tag you on there on on this acc
Yes, that would be fine =)
are storytimes allowed? Like really queer ones?
Like youtube/tiktok videos? I don’t see why not!
But also, to clarify - the creations you submit do not have to center queer themes. If that’s the kind of work you create, great! But being queer is enough.
May I ask what constitutes sexual?we have a poem we wrote that has things about cuddling and touching each otehrs skin but it’s sfw and nonsexual, would that be okay?
Yes, that sounds fine! Skin contact and cuddling is okay. When I say nothing sexual, I pretty much mean works depicting or implying actual sex. Artistic nudity would also be fine.
I was planning on drawing something… problem is, it’s body horror. Can i include it in this showcase, or should i refrain and send something else?
If the drawing is preceded with a brief trigger warning, specifically a description of what kind of body horror (ex. “eye horror, blood”), and placed under a readmore, that would be fine.
Are you allowed to submit fanart?
Yes! Fanworks and transformative works in general are absolutely welcome! =D
Hey everyone,
Just a note that unfortunately, the queue has run out. I am working on a new gif series, but it may be some time before I can post anything.
I would really appreciate it if anyone who makes any posts related to Sarah Parish uses the #sarahparishedit or #queensarahparish tag so that I can find and queue them! Feel free also to use the submit feature to share your favourite photos.
And as always, the ask is open for any gif requests.
Thank you ❤️

surprise hiatus due to 1. being sort of busy 2. in a place with kinda shitty wifi and 3, the combination of those meaning we really don’t have the energy to maintain blogs rn
we should be back pretty soon, but if we’re not back by early august, we won’t be back til mid/late august due to other plans then
Unfortunately, I no longer able to dedicate the time necessary to keep this blog running at it’s previous quality, I am simply too busy and must focus my energy on more important matters in my life…
However, I would rather not see YFIS become permanently inactive, many people clearly enjoy this blog and I have enjoyed building it for the last year and a half! Mod applications will be open soon, keep you eyes open for it in the next day or two.
hihi!!
I know I’m not active on this blog much anymore, but I just made a personal (non-stim, just personal/art) blog, if people are interested in following it!!
(No need to feel pressured to follow, this is just a shameless self-promo hehe)
Here is the @! @roguespecial
I hope everyone has a good day and thank you for all the support!!

taking a bit of a break from stimboards!
I apologize but I figured I should update that I’m taking another hiatus/semi-hiatus on this blog, and I am super sorry for those requests I haven’t gotten around to yet! Life is really busy and I started managing a new blog (an ask blog I mentioned before) so I’ll be focusing moreso on that blog since running many accounts can be really hard and all.
I will do some stimboards here and there but do not expect them as regularly as I used to.
Just thought I should make an official post about it so people aren’t wondering why my activity here has dropped.
Thank you again for understanding and I hope you all have a wonderful day!
