Um.
Hi.
I'm Beabae. I might eventually use my real name. I'm dyslexic, I write and draw sometimes. I want to make lots of different stories about lots of different sorts of people.
The pronouns I'm used to are she/her but I don't mind him/his. I am asexual, pan-romantic, though I think I lean towards females. I'll try to not screw up too badly.
I like an awful lot of things, especially fanfiction, novels, hetalia and homestuck. Some things may be NSFW; I have as little idea as you do.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Today at work, I wore this pretty form-fitting outfit because well… because I can. And a woman, probably in her mid to late 30s asks me… “Can I ask you a question without purposely trying to offend you?” Of course I said she could and then she asks me… “Do you feel comfortable in what you’re wearing?” and I kind of confusedly answered that I did feel comfortable in what I was wearing. She then asked “Even though it’s extremely… form-fitting?” And I said “Especially because it’s form fitting.” She then told me that she thought I looked beautiful but asked how I was so comfortable, as a full-figured woman, wearing something tight. And I simply answered “Because I love my body. I love my shape. I love who I am. It took me a long time to be okay with what kind of body I have but now I love it and if I choose to change it, I can. If I don’t choose to, then I won’t. Sure, I have things I don’t like about myself but overall I can’t say I’m disappointed in the way I look or feel in the clothes I choose to wear.”
She then called me her “She-Hero” and bought an outfit just like the one I was wearing.
This is why I love my job.
THAT WAS NOT THE ENDING I WAS EXPECTING A+
I suggest all females watch this.
*i suggest all humans watch this.
THIS SHOULD BE REQUIRED WATCHING FOR ALL HUMANS
I’m a 17 year old white guy living in middle class America. I’ve never exactly been a supporter of feminism because that kind of thing has never really affected me personally. I don’t notice it and I don’t care about it. But in nine minutes this video has made what is truly a serious problem extremely apparent. Those “why I need feminism” posts or those slut-shaming or rape culture campaigns never convince me of anything. But this video actually did I think.
tl;dr This video kicks ass, just watch it.
Stop what you’re doing and watch this

As most of my followers know, I just found out three days ago that my mother is dying; late-stage pancreatic-cancer. After just making a cross-country move, I can’t afford to fly back out right now. I need some help. I know times are rough for everyone, but even if you can’t afford a commission- please give me a signal-boost.
At this rate, I know I may not make enough to make it out there before she passes. I’m still trying to reconcile with that fact; but I want to at least be there for her funeral— and figure out what’s going to happen to our pets, as she’s been keeping my dog and cat for me.
I ask a lot of my followers, and I’m sorry to— but if you could please throw this around on the web for me, I’d appreciate it.

Thanks, but no thanks: About an hour ago I was feeling really upset about pronouns, and...
About an hour ago I was feeling really upset about pronouns, and feeling really…. Well, just unhappy.
So I went to my friend’s apartment to watch some Breaking Bad. And I kinda ranted to her about how I was feeling, and how sometimes it really bothers me to be called “she” or “her”. Normally…
Poor Emma, when she turned eighteen, then the paparazzi just became criminals, in my view. In what other context could five men chase a woman down an alley, and it be ok?

this so needed to be said (via littlemissmutant)
I like DanRad a lot, but I’m adding this from Sienna Miller too, because dammit, it has been said, by a woman who has experienced it, and it needs to keep being said:
‘I was a 21-year-old girl and there were times when eight large men were chasing me down dark alleys — and because they had cameras it was thought to be alright.’

It works this way for everybody, anon, depressed or otherwise! Please don’t lose heart!
“Amelie has no boyfriend. She’s tried once or twice, but the results were a let down. Instead, she cultivates a taste for small pleasures: dipping her hand into sacks of grain, cracking creme brulee with a teaspoon, and skipping stones at St. Martin’s canal.”

“Who ever may rend this will see that there is no other but one girl for me and her lovely name is Beverly Dennington. I love her very much.”
