[id: screenshots of tiktok captions. the images say, “but the only reason we still love princess diana is because she did not have the time to disappoint us.”]
begging queer kids to read up on princess diana’s involvement with the community. yes, she was a rich, pretty monarch. yes, she died young.
but the reason why queer people love her is because she used her privilege during the aids crisis to advocate for sick queer men, when very few others would - much less someone of her status.
diana spent years advocating for the health and care of queer people with hiv/aids. in 1987, at the height of the epidemic, she opened the first specialist clinic dedicated to treating aids patients (the first clinic of it’s kind in the uk).
she also fought public hysteria by hugging and shaking bare hands with aids patients, at a time when aids was thought to be spread by skin to skin contact. not only that, she visited patients in the clinic regularly and even comforted them through their sickness.
and when queen elizabeth told her to try focusing on “something more pleasant”?
diana ignored her and kept fighting.
and this is only her work towards the aids crisis. she publicly called out the royal family, brought attention to numerous world issues, and was known as an advocate for empathy and kindness. she’s known and loved as the people’s princess for good reason
i’ve dipped casually into bagginshield recently (10 years late 💀) and i am absolutely fascinated by how popular that ship seems to have been in fandom spaces. like it’s a great ship of course but i genuinely didn’t know people were that into the hobbit trilogy? i was deep into marvel and superwholock at the time and completely missed it. could just be a case of being in the right place at the right time (what i affectionaly refer to as the golden age of tumblr).

And I guess I'll just miss her
Even though she isn't even really gone
But things are just different
Ever since she cut her blue hair off
go to your blogs’ settings (again, you have to do these steps for each blog, not just your main blog)
scroll until you see “visibility” and choose that
in your visibility settings, choose “prevent third-party sharing for (blog name)”

Viktor just went from being some guy to my all time favourite Arcane character. Funniest possible direction they could’ve gone with him. Every fuck in his mind body soul was spent and gone when he emerged from that goop. Woke up purple from a near death experience and immediately dumped his situationship, quit his job, fucked off to the undercity wearing nothing but a blanket and then became the second coming of Christ on accident. King of protecting his peace. Imagine being that guy who tried to shank him. Some Czech twink with dick and balls hanging out starts glowing and then magically cleanses the poison from your body. I’d be on my knees worshipping him too man what a fucked up situation. Someone please get him some trousers
Can I have either a fic or hc where Peter comforts a sad reader? I'm really depressed rn cause of some personal thing and just need some hugs from my boy Pete
Peter would HATE seeing you down
like he physically deflates when he sees you upset about anything
to the point where he has to convince himself not to cry for you
he’d be wrapping you up in blankets and his arms and maybe one of his hoodies, anything to keep you warm and feeling safe
if you’re at that point in your relationship, definitely telling you he loves you so much
cuddling wherever you are, no matter where
couch? sharing a blanket, huddled together, drinking some cocoa or tea
bed? cuddling and back rubbing and whispering until you fall asleep
floor? sitting between his legs with your back pressed against his chest and his back against the sofa
sometimes it took you some time to tell him what had happened that made you so sad
and that was okay with him
he just wanted you to be comfortable
homeboy would wait years just cuddling you until you’re ready
and when you do, he’s supportive, and understanding, no matter what it is
Peter is the kind of bf who actually listens.
he gives you his undivided attention, eye contact, responsive, and hanging on to every word you say
he wants you to know he cares
and you do
being with Peter always manages to lift your mood by 10000%
we love a soft and safe boi
