Fuck Supernatural. Let's do a megathread of actual good lgbtq+ representation in media:

Welcome to Night Vale - no queerbating. Just shy gays at the beginning. Bonus points for domesticity, science, and 10/10 representation (gender, race, sexuality, ability. seriously 10/10) Kinda horror (?) Just listen to it.

Shameless (US) - as a Supernatural fan, you're starved for writers that actually care about continuity, and character development that pays off in a queer relationship. Let Gallavich dry your Destiel tears and turn them into Gallavich tears. You can thank me later.

Queer as Folk (US) - don't they teach you anything at gay school? These are the Sacred Texts. Do your homework, little gays. -20 points for being yt and cis as fuck. Also a bit stereotypical of the Gay Scene™ but it was the 90s and if you stick around the character development ACTUALLY PAYS OFF. What a concept!

D.E.B.S. - this cheesy 2000s film I randomly watched on tv one afternoon may or may not have been my bisexual awakening. It also might have been Kim Possible.

Carmilla - Badass loner + optimistic puppy trope. This is basically sterek but it's a lesbian vampire and the puppy is a youtuber au

Please Like Me - disaster gay being a disaster gay for 4 seasons. Bonus points for Hannah Gadsby and some mental health representation. Also hella yt.

Sense8 - international poly queers, have telepathic orgys with the mandatory YT straights that (almost) ruin everything. Directed by trans women. 9/10 representation.

Brooklyn 99 - Holt + Kevin are our dads. Rosa and Jake give my bi ass life. Bonus points for latina representation, Chelsea Peretti, and Terry Crews. -30 points for copaganda.

The Good Place - Eleanor is exactly the same kind of disaster bi Dean is but AT LEAST SHE ADMITS IT TO HERSELF and nobody around her acts like it's a big deal because it isn't dean pls just come out of the closet i-

being sensitive isn't a drawback

often people who are sensitive by nature are told to harden themselves up emotionally. they are told not to feel so much else it'll be difficult to live in this harsh world.

being sensitive is not something to be ashamed of. you have an added gentleness to your nature in these times when everything is a bit more rough than required.

make your sensitivity your most prized possession and value it instead of feeling low about it. be proud of your feelings. care as much as you do. that's what makes you the beautiful person that you are ✨
