My favourite Hozier lyrics because I’m gay:

“To feel your weight in arms I’d never use, its the god that heroin prays to.”

“But you dont know what hell you put me through, to have someone kiss the skin that crawls from you.”

“She’s the angel of small death and the codeine scene”

“I should’ve worshipped her sooner”

“I’m all but washed in the tide of her breathing.”

If being gay is a “moral problem” as it says according to our schools religion class resources, then its such an fun fucking problem lmao.

Me scrolling through tiktok seeing all the wlw couples: why am i so fucKING LONELYYYY

…i am in pain.

Listen, all I’m saying is that I think we should really talk about how conversion therapy is still legal nearly everywhere on earth.

What if we ran back through the halls of the castle after I snuck you out for the night, returning to your room with hushed whispers and drunken laughter.

I feel like in very friend group theres that one person every lgbtq+ is waiting for to realise their sexuality/gender and come out… the vibes are just a little too not cishet idk

CW: mentions of derealisation/depersonalisation/sense of reality

Friendly reminder to those who struggle with their sense of reality that you are real, just like me, and everyone else!! The land you’re standing on is real, the places you go are real, your family and friends are real.

If you focus on an older object, notice all the details, all the creases and cracks, all the specs, all the imperfections and markings. Focus on how it feels in your hands and how all these creases, cracks, and imperfections can be felt.

Notice all the signs of aging, whether it be dust, loose threads, anything. That object is real, the object is real and has been for months to years. Notice, see and feel that on the object.

As it has aged, you have as well, because you are here and real, like that object.

That feeling when meeting extended family and they say “you must have boys wrapped around your finger”, “do you have a boyfriend?”, or “any crushes???” is closeted culture, and will forever go unmatched.

I said what I said.

Imagine if you and a stranger were locked in a library overnight with only the flames of a lantern guiding your path, slowly falling in love as the night advanced.

Why yes I have been liking, as well as creating, a sizeable amount of posts regarding being pinned to walls, pirates, swords and daggers, however I remain comforted by the imagined scenarios and fantasies that have no possibility of ever happening in today’s world. So I think I win here.

There really are little to no publicly available resources for lgbtq+ people struggling with internalised homophobia. It should be available for everyone to find to either help other people or themselves, just like how it is with other mental health topics.

I hope all the wlw who struggled over Christmas and the end of 2020 due to either being in the closet, homophobia, or mental illness are okay.

Playing with a girls hair as she lays on your chest, drifting off to sleep with the faint crackeling of firewood and pattering of rain outside.

The amount of lgbtq+ discourse that we really wouldn’t care about irl that cishet people debate over is kinda a lot and I think we should talk about that???

This took a very long time to make so I would love it if you could repost!!!

May I present, the three types of wlw. It is within my scientific understanding that all wlw fall into these 3 categories:

  1. The dagger wlw
  2. The bow and arrow wlw
  3. The sword wlw

Cottagecore began when all the young wlw watched barbie and the diamond castle, you can’t change my mind.

Imagine if countries were separated by aesthetic… so like England could be dark academia, Canada goblincore / cabincore, USA clowncore, Italy cottagecore, France romanticcore, etc.

Then at a certain age we all get to pick an aesthetic to live in and be the rest of our lives, and we go live in that country.

Idk but id be down???

Never met an lgbtq who doesn’t

  1. Need therapy
  2. Already go to therapy

We’re all mentally ill shut the fuck up
