A Happy Birthday pic for Mylittlecornerofsherlock

This is absolutely a self-indulgent reblog because I really like this butt. It’s my best butt.

Also, I was listening to the Rocky Horror soundtrack whilst doing this (a subconscious choice but a perfect one) and this song made me think of Frank on the stage at the end of the film and thus inspired the kind of spotlight effect I was going for (that may not have worked quite as I wanted).

Looking for advice from fandom friends!

I have a fic that I want to write, but I feel like every chapter installment would be short. I have nothing against short fics myself, but I have this weird guilt complex about short fics being less good than long ones? I’d just like some advice/ reassurance. I just can’t really draw out these scenes, if that makes any sense? 

Thanks!

It’s not the length that matters, it’s the impact.

After that ask about Marcus and how he’s got no experience with men, you got me thinking. For Marcus, everything is new. Peter, though, he’s probably had a few boyfriends and more than a few lovers before. How does that compare to dating Marcus? And how do you think his dating life/sex life was before he found a good catholic boy to settle with?

I think Peter grew up in a time and place where it was not safe to be a gay man, particularly a sexually active gay man, so any boyfriends he had would come later in life, and he’d be very paranoid about sexual safety. I imagine he’s been to a few rural gay bars in his life, chatted up his share of handsome and scruffy strangers and been chatted right back. I like to think he had a long-term partner, now ex, for a few short but good years, until societal pressure and a significant difference of opinion regarding whether to be out or not eventually broke them apart.

But as someone who keeps himself to himself, I think Peter’s dating / sex-life was pretty nonexistent for a couple years before he met Marcus, barring the occasional disappointing visit to a gay or leather bar.

(And I think he would love having a good Catholic boy to settle down with. Good Catholic boys would’ve been considered charmingly off-limits to him growing up, and now he’s got one with a leather jacket and a crooked smile and the sweetest baby-blue eyes.)

Was AMAZING! I love the new hotel, my roomies were a delight and I made new friends. I didn’t stare like a deer in headlights on my panels, but actually got through the talking without terrible anxiety. whee!

The kink panel was packed. I wish we had longer, though, because I felt like if there was nothing after it we would have stayed and kept talking.

Minneapolis students can choose gender, preferred name on district forms

profeminist:

“Minneapolis Public Schools students can now choose their preferred name and gender on all district forms, a change that was made over spring break but took effect Monday when students arrived back at school.

The new policy, which has been in the works for a while, builds on an informal one instituted in 2013 that said teachers and other school staff should honor the preferred names of transgender students and allow them to use the restroom of the gender with which they identify, said district spokesman Dirk Tedmon.

This latest step formalizes the district’s support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) students, Tedmon said.

“Now it’s an official thing in the student information system,” he said. “I think it’s about affirming the experiences of our students and recognizing them for who they are.”

I love that Ubisoft’s response to the racist white man pain mess that was Watch Dogs was by giving WD2 a black male lead. But then when racists got angry, Ubisoft put wearable blm merch in-game, added playable buff female characters and black vikings to For Honor, diversified their roster in Rainbow Six Siege, made their newest Assassin’s Creed games take place in China and Egypt, and made Far Cry 5 be about beating up white supremacists.

Whatever demons Ubisoft inhabited exited into Bioware.

#ubi 3 years ago: how do i animate a fucking woman 

#ubi now: r e v o l u t i o n

Yo, I’ve got a really good female friend who works for Ubisoft. Instead of acting like it’s witchcraft that Ubi’s changing it’s tune, you can thank the women and other minorities working inside gaming companies that endure being called names by all of you lot AND being treated like crap by their own coworkers and still keep persistently trying to push for change inside their company. 

They work tirelessly despite getting shit from absolutely everyone, gamers, co-workers and internet trolls alike. 

THIS IS WHY HIRING DIVERSELY IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS PUTTING DIVERSITY INSIDE THE GAMES
