Please. Please please please read this and reblog!

If you support LGBTQ Rights you need to stop scrolling and read this. This is not a fucking joke.

If you cant read this, here it is: 

If you don’t remember Sophie M Herold, she is a German girl, who is extremely homophobic and transphobic. She has found out LGBTQ persons names, addresses, personal info etc. And set up her own database. Her intentions with this are harmful.

She is sending out this information, your information, your best friends information, someone you love and care about. She’s sending it to hate groups, malicious people, people with bad intentions. And if you think I’m blowing this out of proportion, people have been kicked out of homes, disowned by families and even MURDERED. Yes, murdered. Innocent people who have done nothing but love. She has had numerous blogs and each have been removed. Tumblr staff are aware of her, and as far as I’m aware she currently doesn’t have a blog, but this does not mean she isn’t still on peoples tumblrs, asking via anon where you live, what your name is. An email I received today. She’s sending out information of same sex couples with children so the children can be kidnapped. She entitled it “Time to strike back”. If that doesn’t suggest harmful intentions I don’t know what does. Please be extremely careful what you post on tumblr, on twitter, facebook, anywhere. Do NOT give out your full name or your address, or even the town in which you live. Look out for one another, and don’t answer any suspicious anons. Especially if they use your name in quotation marks. Sophie M Herold is still out there, she always will be, so please spead this message and warn people. She’s attacking in silence. We don’t need more people dying because of her actions.========This disgusting excuse of a human being of needs to stop, but the only way it can be stopped is if you spread this! Please, be aware of any suspicious people or anons asking for personal information. It can get you or your loved ones in SERIOUS DANGER. Thank you.

Lost In Your Eyes!

Remember when I asked for sketch ideas and said I'd do THIS one (below) digitally, after I rewatch this longform? Well it's finally done, an odd balance between messy and thought-out, but I like this play quite a bit so I had fun 💕 tysm for the suggestion!!

New York City passes law allowing gender-neutral birth certificates

“New Yorkers should be free to tell their government who they are, not the other way around,” said Mayor DeBlasio.

Last week, New York City became the first U.S. city to pass a law allowing birth certificates to be marked with a gender-neutral “X” rather than the traditional gender markers “M” or “F.” The policy will go into effect January 1.

The new law also mandates that people be allowed to choose their gender marker when applying for amended birth certificates, replacing a previous requirement that applicants provide letters from medical and mental health practitioners confirming their gender identity. […]

New York City is unusual in that it issues birth certificates to those born in the city through a vital records department separate from New York state. Typically, birth certificates are issued statewide. New York state does not currently offer gender-neutral identity documents — but a bill proposing nonbinary driver’s licenses was introduced in June 2017, and is still making its way through the state legislature voting process. A NYC municipal ID that gives applicants the option to forgo a gender marker entirely has been available to city residents since 2014, making it one of the first genderless ID cards in the country.

While New York is the first city to pass a gender-neutral birth certificate law, it joins a handful of states that have recently passed legislation to make gender-neutral birth certificates available: Oregon, Washington, California, and New Jersey. Last month, Colorado issued an intersex birth certificate to a single person in response to extensive documentation supplied in their application, but did not announce plans to make gender-neutral birth certificates widely available.

Stories like these make me proud to be a New Yorker!

Notes and Specifications

Tom’s Child category was gonna be ‘traumatized child’ but that was before I realized 3 of the 4 play children pretty often and every single one is traumatized

Yes the Witchfinder General is hilarious and absurd in concept, but so is Locomotion and even Sam admitted he was terrifying. Idek if I’ll have people arguing this, I’m just covering all my bases-

Krampus is purely there because they have this man a microphone and he became far too powerful

If there’s only one example listed, it means I know it’s happened more than once, but I can’t think of the others off the top of my head

Except for AJ’s bonus, I just always thought the was funny

Yes, ‘child that pisses people off’ ranges from being a little annoying to actual murder, but they both count

I used the phrasing ‘creatures’ instead of ‘animals’ on purpose, and I don’t think I have to explain why

cute witch

Meet Maiden & Princess, a children’s book set to launch in April 2019 about a maiden who falls in love with – you guessed it! – a princess. 

Maiden & Princess is intended as a companion to [author Daniel] Haack’s Prince & Knight, which was released in May as the inaugural effort in a new partnership between GLAAD and Bonnier Publishing USA. Acknowledging that both books “exist in the same universe,” Haack told HuffPost he was particularly excited about Maiden & Princess because he believes same-sex love between two women is even more underrepresented in children’s literature as compared to that between two men.

“We wanted to take that fairy tale structure with real human characters and tell a simple love story between these two women, complete with all the anxieties and excitement of first love that would resonate with kids,” Haack, who resides in Los Angeles, said. 

Beautiful. Learn more over at HuffPost. 

SFTH Google Document

So, for the last month and a bit I have been working on a google Document full of just Shoot From The Hip information: Character Lists, long form lists, specials, etc... I started this before the Fandom wiki was more fleshed out but I figured I would still put it on here for anyone interested. It does include Patreon exclusive content but nothing is linked (if something is linked please let me know). Suggestions are welcome, it is still in progress so its not perfect.
