Put Whatever You Want In The Space Above His Hand. It Will Definitely Be 100% Responsible, I Trust.

Put whatever you want in the space above his hand. It will definitely be 100% responsible, I trust.

You're welcome thank you for getting me out of art block! :D

I gave Ricky star earrings and I was like.

Well I can't possibly leave him to not match his bfs

Also Misha borrowed that jacket from Ricky. It's cold out but he was in short sleeves anyway so Ricky gave him a spare jacket he so conveniently had that just HAPPENED to match the earrings he gifted Misha.

Yes he got to keep the jacket <3

Also Ricky's nails are holographic you can't tell me he wouldn't.

I feel like this is them closing a date like first they got the earrings from Ricky then Noel painted their nails and now Misha convinced them to play Smash bros :D

Somebody please get me Ricky x Noel x Mischa art I'm obsessed rn. Somebody get me some content I'm begging. Please help me they are so underrated.

''Nobody understands this character like I do"

Immediately finds a rant that understands the character BETTER than me and is able to articulate it better

Same goes for being gay! When I first learnt it it was through watching YouTubers that were very open about it and I just assumed everyone was like. Cool with that???

Later on my classmates talked about this one girl in my class being a lesbian like she has the plague and I would just look at them so confused like.

Ok? And??

That's literally always been my reaction even before I knew exactly what everything meant I think if I told past me like

Yo you're gonna be genderfluid kid

.. okay but do I graduate??? Do I get a cat?? DO I GET A JOB???

I genuinely don't think kids care but that just might be me

(note: I grew up in a religious household and yet I was never taught about it because they were so vague about queerness it flew over my head)

"we can't let trans ppl near our kids, it'll confuse them!"

My genuine first reaction to learning what transgender means:

I was in my early teens, attending a fun summer camp that had many activities divided by girls/boys.

During lunch, I befriended a couple kids, a nice girl and a nice boy. The boy mentioned something during a girls' activity.

Me: wait, I thought you were a boy?

Him: yeah, but I'm trans

Me: what's that?

Him: it means I was born with "girl parts" but I'm really a boy

Me: oh ok

Continues in the conversation as we were

Later, I notice him having to participate in the girls' activities like he said, and out of curiosity, go up to one of the adult leaders to ask why he has to be with the girls when he's a boy

Adult: oh, she's not really a boy.

Me: but he says he is?

Adult: we don't believe in transness. If you're born a girl, than you're a girl, and if you're born a boy, then you're a boy, and that's final.

Me: but that doesn't make sense. If he says that he's a boy, that must mean he's a boy, right?

Adult: no, your gender is the same as your biological sex. Do you understand?

Me: no??? That doesn't make any sense???

It didn't take long for the adult to dismiss me in a huff, while I'm left extremely confused.

That was before I learned about the existence of non-binary genders, and I just thought it was really cool. It didn't confuse me at all!

Nowadays, I've had to explain being trans to young kids, mostly cousins, a fair amount. Even with my tendency to over-explain things, it's not that hard to grasp. Every time, it only takes a couple minutes at most to explain, then they move on or ask questions that I'm happy to answer. Some have never heard of it before, while others have and thought of it as "changing your gender", which is a reasonable conclusion to make when no one's educated them about it.

You know what I've found always confuses kids? This "biological sex is absolute" nonsense. It doesn't make sense to anyone who's still learning about the world, it has to be indoctrinated the same way religion is.

So get the fuck out of here with this "trans identities are confusing" bs. Just like every other bs excuse for bigotry that we all know has zero real basis in science.

Kids are learning new things about the world around them every single day. Everything is going to be confusing until it's adequately explained, or they've had time to figure it out. "It's confusing" has never been, and will never be, a reason to stop anyone from learning new things.

I'm on a boat in the middle of the ocean and you're a lifeguard tossing me life vests that keep sinking because I failed to catch them
