I Don't Even Watch The Magicians But The Level Of Queer Rage I'm Sensing From The Fanbase At A Bisexual

I don't even watch The Magicians but the level of queer rage I'm sensing from the fanbase at a bisexual character being killed of and the writers considering it 'revolutionary' bc he was a white man and thus 'historically safe' is really spite-motivating me to keep working on my very gay WIP (in which ABSOLUTELY NO queer characters will die bc f*ck you)

GET HYPE

This could be really good for helping newer dnd players flesh out their character's personality

and the story goes on, on, on

The story of Elaina, and the things left out.

Here’s how the story goes: You’re a seamstress in the village. You don’t make a lot of money, but you do well enough. Your name is Elaina, and you are perfectly content.

Here’s how the story goes: You catch the eye of an elvish ambassador. Syldor is charming and handsome and you think you love him.

Here’s how the story goes: Syldor doesn’t love you.

Here’s how the story goes: He leaves you. Nine months later, you find yourself the mother of beautiful twins; Vax’ildan and Vex’ahlia. You think yourself a fool, believing that you loved him. Looking at your children, you now know what real love is.

Here’s how the story goes: Byroden isn’t a rich village, but you always make do. Your children, wild-eyed and mischievous, never go to bed hungry. Your little twin terrors explore the forest and are covered in scrapes from various tumbles, and they make your heart light. Your life isn’t easy, but you wouldn’t change it for the world.

Here’s how the story goes: Your children are ten when an elvish man shows up to retrieve them. Not their father; he couldn’t be bothered to show up on his own, but a servant, as if his children are little more than a menial errand. You don’t know what to do; Syldor’s powerful, and if he wants the twins he can easily take them. So you hug your children tightly, and tell them you love them more than the stars in the sky. You tell them you’ll see them again. They try to cling to your skirts and you fight to keep yourself from sobbing as they are hauled away.

Here’s how the story goes: You never see your children again.

Here’s how the story ends: You die two years later. A dragon’s fire burns your village, your home, you. Nearly fifteen years later, your son will avenge you.

Here’s what the story leaves out: Some part of Syldor cared. Not enough to matter in any of the ways that count, but enough to make his chest tighten when he thinks of you.

Here’s what the story leaves out: Your hands shake the first time you hold your children. You’re so afraid that you’ll do something wrong, that you can’t be enough for them.

Here’s what the story leaves out: You teach your children to sew. Vex’ahlia has no patience for it, and only learns the basics. Vax enjoys it, though, and will often sit with you by the fire while you work. He becomes quite good at embroidery, and you’re so proud your heart swells.

Here’s what the story leaves out: Your favorite part of the day is night time, when you braid the twin’s hair and listen to their stories of everything they did that day. When Vex tells you how high she climbed up into the oak tree, you braid a feather into her hair. Birds need feathers, and you know she’ll keep trying to fly.

Here’s what the story leaves out: Vax brings you crumpled bouquets of dandelions and other weeds, and you declare them the finest flowers you’ve ever seen. You keep every crushed bouquet, pressed between the pages of your favorite book.

Here’s what the story leaves out: You’ve seen a few pieces of fine jewelry in your life, but the bracelet Vex makes you out of scrap fabric and string is the most beautiful by far. You wear it daily, until it burns with you.

Here’s what the story leaves out: You were saving up money to go to Syngorn, to beg Syldor to let you see your children again.

Here’s what the story leaves out: You die on your feet, brandishing a kitchen knife and screaming at the Cinder King. You get a hit in before it all ends, and you die with a feeling of bitter pride burn in your chest.

Here’s what the story leaves out: You were so young.

Here’s what the story leaves out: As the Raven Queen guides you to the next world, she tells you that your children are special. That fate has touched them, that Vax’ildan and Vex’ahlia will change the world.

Here’s what the story leaves out: You already knew that.

HAPPY TRANS DAY OF VISIBILITY FOLKS

That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.
