[[Image ID 1, Ace, Peter, and Alice stand in the great hall of Heart’s Castle. Alice was mid-freak out about not being dressed properly for the upcoming ball when Queen Vivaldi made a speech welcoming all the guests to said ball.
Ace: ...She’s the same as always. That’s Her Majesty.
Peter: She’s harsh, isn’t she? Don’t you agree, Alice?
Alice: About Vivaldi? She’s wonderful.
I’m spellbound by her. Queen Vivaldi is majestic. And seeing her in this formal enviroment only makes her even more so.
Ace: Ehh? Wonderful? Hmmm…. I guess so. She is a queen. They’re wonderful.
Peter: In what way?
Ace: Eh? I wonder? Hey Alice, what part of her do you think is wonderful?
Peter: What a careless way to put that…
There were plenty of guests showing signs of reverence and being entranced by her, but these two seemed to be an exception.
Alice: Isn’t she wonderful? She’s so cool.
Ace: Hmm. Cool, huh? So that’s cool. I couldn’t possibly copy that. I don’t think I’d want to, though.
Peter: Me neither.
Alice: I don’t think you two could be like her.
And I’m not asking them to understand.
Alice: Still… maybe men just don’t get it. Doesn’t a cool women like her have appeal? Even another woman can admire that.
Peter: ...I wouldn’t know. I’m not another woman.
Ace: ...ah. Ahhh, Alice, you swing that way, too. Ahh, I get it.
Peter: Eh? You do? I see, Alice. Even if you swing both ways, you’re wonderful. But, you have bad taste…
Alice: Why are you understanding this in a weird way? I don’t swing this way or that way!
Ace: Not this way, either? Well, that could be a problem.
Alice: I don’t want to go either way!
I’ve gotten confused which way is which in this conversation.
Alice: Hmph. You’re just feeling unjustly suspicious about the idea of admiring somebody of the same sex. It’s just not a feeling men can comprehend.
I make a point of glaring at them derisely.
Ace: Comprehend admiring the same sex? I understand that.
I was trying to be sarcastic, but Ace responds seriously.
Alice: Huh…? Yeah…?
I’m left flabbergasted at his unexpected reply.
Ace: Yeah. For example...I admire Peter.
Ace declares it with refreshing clearness. He feels so very refreshing, like a male lead in a movie about the springtime of youth.
Peter:…
Peter briskly makes more space between himself and Ace. He grimaces like the movie is actually a horror flick, and it’s a grotesque one at that.
Peter: We’ve never had much to do with each other, but even that minimal connection is ending here and now. Farewell, Ace…]]
[[Image ID 2, Having overheard Alice and Ace’s discussions of bisexuality, a blushing Vivaldi says, “Speaking of this, we go both ways.”]]
During the darkest days of the AIDS Crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon and we danced all fucking night. The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.
I love that the internet saw people comparing women and other alienated groups of people and went, “they’re dating,” and, “they support each other.” We’re improving as a society.
More Surodame memes - consider this one the "Fujieda and nipple tassel special" (I don't want to repeat last time lmao) to make up for my lack of lawyer memes
