My greatest piece of advice to anyone who’s newly awakened to being otherkin, therian, alterhuman, nonhuman, etc. is to research.
I’m not talking about looking up definitions on fandom wikis or whatever. You need to really get to know your community before even considering conversations about who “can” and “cannot” be something.
Learn about the histories of our kind.
Read essays on your peers’ experiences.
Familiarize yourself with different labels and identities outside of your own.
Open your mind to experiences not only similar to yours, but also aren’t like your experiences at all.
I’m saying this in the kindest way possible, especially to younger members of our community. I get it. I know what it’s like to come up in a space and see how discourse is given a lot of focus. There’s pressure to take a hard stance on something.
But, you just realized this part of yourself.
Please understand that zeroing in on discourse, let alone becoming a gatekeeper, isn’t the way to engage with community.
Most of all, it’s not good to dive headfirst into it without educating yourself.
Hope With Me
Author’s Note: So hey! I did a Big Bang this year, run by the blog @ts-storytime! This work has been a while in the making, and I’m super proud of how it turned out! Thanks so much to @vanilla-bean-buttercream for the amazing art, and a huge thanks to @korruptbrekker for beta reading, and @hit-or-mish for being my cheerleader, this story would not exist without you.
Summary:
“Two weeks,” Patton said, holding out his hand. “And if I can’t prove to you that there’s good in humanity, I’ll leave you alone.”
“Or you could leave me alone right now,” Janus said, giving him a deadpan look.
“I could,” Patton said. “But then I’ll just go on thinking I’m right, and you’ll never have another chance to prove me wrong, now will you?” He smiled, like he thought he had him.
…And dammit, he did.
“Come on Janus,” Patton said, smiling warmly, and stretching out his hand a little more. “Come find hope with me.”

Good Omens Poem #1 - Aziraphale POV
A candle blown out
That set a forest on fire
A dangerous wish
Known as desire
I want to be an us but danger lurks
You kiss me and the universe begins again
Everything is wrong but you feel right
Tell me if this is love or is this sin
I leave with a hole in the shape of you
Fearing having to do this alone
Praying to an absent god
That the future is not set in stone
---------------------------------------
This is the first not fridge magnet poem I've posted, I hope you guys like it! I was thinking about Aziraphale (again) and ended up writing this.

YES. AS A HARDCORE PJO AND HTTYD FAN I APPROVE. I can imagine Annabeth looking at the one Hiccstrid scene "'what're gonna do about it?' 'Probably something stupid'" and going "that's us in a nutshell Seaweed Brain "
percy jackson and annabeth chase’s favorite tradition is snuggling up on the couch on a friday night with pizza and blankets and watching how to train your dragon
todays straight character of the day is: nobody
do people just. forget how nice Bruce is
he has literally done so much
and he may be strict as batman, but he's strict with the justice league too, because he has too, no one else would, and if no one else did they would all fucking die
when I say he makes mistakes I mean not communicating clearly with dick and Jason, making dick feel like he was replaced even though that wasnt his intention, making Jason feel like joker was more important even though that wasnt his intention
Bruce adopted Jason not because he was looking for a new partner, a new kid, but because he saw a kid who needed help and also a need to do more than they're capable of and he can't just leave him be
he does the same to dick, he's not adopting dick to replace his parents, not adopting Jason go replace dick, not adopting Tim to replace Jason
Jason doesn't know yet why Bruce couldn't kill, but he does now
and it pisses me off when people portray Bruce as a shitty person, as a shitty dad
because he's not, and the animated stuff shows that perfectly
kid shows are usually better because they're not shying away from vulnerability and being NICE
I'm all for darker shows but I'm getting really tired of edgy and "mature" content with no emotion other than rage and anger
but that's not what batman is god fucking damnit
and I hate that some of the comics and games and movies fuels this fucking misconception of batman
to throw away Bruce's empathy, his kindness and compassion, is like throwing away his entire fucking character
batman is great BECAUSE of his contradictions, human yet strong, feared yet respected, violent but gentle, striking fear into the criminals of Gotham but providing comfort to the innocent, that is what makes him great.
why do you fucking think he's doing this?????? do you really think he would pour his heart and fucking soul just because ohh haha punching bad guys bad coping mechanism no it's because he fucking CARES. he pours his heart and soul into saving Gotham because he fucking cares. both as Bruce and as batman, he knows he can't do some stuff just as Bruce, on the side of law, because of his fragile public image, and he can't do everything as batman, sometimes he would need to go by the law to fully help, both sides of him are still him, both sides of him are compassionate and full of kindness and he does NOT FUCKING HELP AND LOVE AND CARE JUST FOR SOME IGNORANT FUCKS TO THINK HES AN UNFEELING COLD HEARTED PERSON.
the reason he's doing this at first is because of his parents, his parents goal were always to make Gotham a better place, and he wants to continue his mission, he did not fucking master everything for 17 years just for you fucks to think this doesn't matter to him. that Gotham doesn't matter to him. that the people doesn't matter to him. that he doesn't care. he didnt think so far to keep the justice league safe and for the kids he saved to not fear him just for you to think he's a violent man beating peace of shit. he did not fucking take in kids who needed a parental figure in their lives, who needed to do things more than they can right now, who would do things they would surely regret in the future, or who would turn out much worse without him, just for you to fucking think that he would abuse them and treat them like garbage.
batman isn't fucking crazy. he isn't unhinged. he's not punch first ask later. dude if he could he fucking would solve things out peacefully and by the law as Bruce but he fucking can't. he's literally THE FUCKING BRAINS OF JUSTICE LEAGUE. AND YOU THINK HES VIOLENT???? the reason people think he's oOoo sO viOlEnt IS BECAUSE HE NEEDS TO PUT IN MORE FUCKING EFFORT TO TAKE DOWN HIS ENEMIES. HE CAN'T JUST NONCHALANTLY DEFLECT BULLETS LIKE SUPERMAN. HE CANT JUST STRIKE FEAR INTO CRIMINALS BECAUSE THEY FEAR HIS POWERS BECAUSE HE HAS NONE. HES SO VIOLENT BECAUSE HE NEEDS TO BE. HE CANT JUST WALK UP TO SOME PEOPLE AND TAKE THE GUN OUT OF THEIR HANDS AND BE LIKE LOL SCRAM. HE NEEDS TO ACTUALLY TAKE THEM DOWN??? USING STEALTH??? AND INTELLIGENCE??? AND PLANNING??? HE DOESNT FUCKING BEAT DOWN EVERYONE??? MAYBE MAKE THEM UNCONSCIOUS YEAH BUT HES ONLY VIOLENT TO PEOPLE WHOS LITERALLY TRYING TO KILL HIM?????
BATMAN ISN'T GOING TO FUCKING LOSE IT AT THE NEXT SECOND, ONE OF HIS STRENGTHS IS HIS AMAZING GODDAMN SELF CONTROL AND WILL. HES MUCH MORE SANE THAN WHAT PEOPLE THINK.
do you REALLY fucking think that Alfred would let Bruce fucking abuse his kids.
do you REALLY fucking think that Bruce would adopt these kids just for him to ruin their fucking lives?
Bruce did not fucking give rogues a second chance at life, to just want the best for them, to want the best for his children, to give a support group for the adult heroes and give them resources they couldn't have on their own, to use his riches to make Gotham a better place, who uses his strength and intelligence to save people, just for you all to fucking talk shit about him
people fucking forget that Bruce doesn't want his kids to be crimefighting, that without him they would all be fucking dead in an alley anyways, dick would be stuck in a fucking system that doesn't care about him, and if he finds out who his parents killers are, would foolishly think he can take them down, but he fucking can't, and Jason was a crime alley kid, he would get stuck in a middle of something and fucking die a meaningless death with no one to fucking care for him, Tim would be stuck with his parents negligence, until the future, with no siblings no father no grandfather to care for him, until he had to take over his parents job, until he had to die living a life he did not enjoy. Stephanie would've suffered because she had a fucking villain as her dad, she would receive consequences no matter the fucking outcome. Cassandra is even worst, being abused by your parents who are the world's best assassin is going to fucking suck obviously and she would've been another fucking assassin and done so much worse if bruce wasn't there. dick would've ran off and try to avenge his parents anyways, except he doesn't have any training and will get himself killed. Bruce begged Tim to not become a robin, not after Jason's death, not after he lost his son.
he's not forcing any of his kids to be a vigilante, it's the fucking opposite of that
he's just so kind and I wish more people saw that
