tay & the gay otters (requested by @wjmild)
I don’t think I have ever reblogged anything so fast in my life.
Now if someone just cuts a scene of otters being cute together against the DBK theme music I will die happy.
I can’t get over that this happened to Tay, Off, and White - three of the most iconic semes in BL.
I will keep this post alive if it’s the last thing I do on this hellsite.
Literallyb can’t believe no one has done this yet
This entire episode belongs to Boum...he is just knocking it out of the park

P’Ton is Team’s cousin!
Kid Pix just became pubic domain, so the remade (but pretty much exactly the same) version is now available here. It's uh, wild, highly recommend checking it out not only for the wonderful nostalgia but you can legit make some incredible looking stuff!
FIND IT HERE
oh my god. oh my god
Concept: A witch cat that’s too fat to fly
This is legit great because it shows that it’s not the cat that’s the problem, it’s the broom. The cat just needed someone to make an accommodation so they could fly too.
This exists as a children’s book. I read it here in Australia as a child and I’m now nearly 30
"mongolia, china"? 🤨
No,
Worked and lived here for 5 years and even Chinese people were unaware this was a part of China 😓
hey! what's the mandarin term for bisexual? does or have any cool etymology? are there any modern/youthful slang terms (such as P/T) for other lgbt people? just curious. thanks!
Bisexual is 双性恋, or just "双". 双 means two so it's basically the exact same meaning as "bisexual".
I guess since you asked, I'll just go through some basic/popular terminology real quick:
General terms:
同性恋 (tóng xìng liàn) = homosexual ; homosexuality
同志 (tóng zhì) = (lit.) comrade; (slang) gay/homosexual
You can add "男" (male) or "女" (female) in front of either of these two phrases to specify gay vs lesbian.
酷儿 (kù'er) = (loanword) queer
A lot of general modern LGBT terminology is borrowed from the west, i.e, "出柜" (chū guì ; to come out of the closet" or 弯 (wān; "bent"); 直 (zhí; straight).
Lesbian
女同性恋 (nǚ tóng xìng liàn)/女同(志) (nǚ tóng zhì)/ 拉拉 (lā lā) / 百合 (bǎi hé; "lily")
P = 婆 (pó; "wife)/femme
T = Tomboy/butch
H = "half", or 不分 ("doesn't separate") = a lesbian who doesn't differentiate these categories or doesn't identify with either P nor T
Gay
男同性恋 (nán tóng xìng liàn)/男同(志) (nán tóng zhì)
EDIT bc I forgot: 基友 (jī you3) meaning “gay partner” or “close samesex friend” (often for servicemen/firemen/police) is also a common term
零 (líng; 0); 受 (shòu ) = bottom
一 (yī ; 1); 攻 (gōng）= top
0.5, 10, 可攻可受 (kě gōng kě shòu), 兼备 (jiān bèi) = versatile
There's a lot of numbers involved. If you see stuff like 101 or 001 etc these are just referring to the "roles" in a threesome, etc. Numbers are sometimes also used for lesbians, where T = 1, P = 0, and H = 0.5, but I feel like this is less common. The thinking is a little binary in this regard but adherence to this ~structure~ is really case by case, just as it is in the west with tops vs bottoms in LGBT culture.
Within P/T/0/1/etc slang, there are also adjectives that may be added in front of these classifiers. Ex: 肌肉0 (muscular bottom); 公0 (manly bottom), 大母/母0或大母1 (effeminate bottom or effeminate top); 铁T (iron butch; basically super/manly butch)... It's all really arbitrary stuff, sort of like "twink" and "bear" and all that.
Bisexual: 双性恋, 双 (shuāng).
Pansexual: 泛性恋 (fàn xìng liàn) (泛 is a transliteration of "pan-" and has the same meaning of 'general' or 'extensive').
Nonbinary: 非二元 (fēi èr yuán) ("non" "binary" direct translation)
Genderqueer: 性别酷儿 (xìng bié kù'er) ("gender" "queer" direct translation)
[Anecdotally I would speculate that "pansexual", "nonbinary" and "genderqueer" are not popular self-designations as I have never seen them being used online outside of LGBT resource literature taken from the west]
Transgender: 跨性别 (kuà xìng bié) (跨 means "to step across" or "to straddle")
Asexual: 无性恋 (wú xìng liàn) (无 means "not to have" or "no"/"lacking")
Misc
第四爱 (dì sì ài; "the fourth love") sometimes gets brought up in discussion of LGBT terms (although by western standards, it's really completely unrelated). It sort of has a broad meaning but usually it just refers to pegging with a female top and male bottom. I think this might be more of a term from fiction because it's often brought up with other fictional concepts like Alpha and Omega.
I have also heard of the term 'short sleeve' being used, but never managed to confirm this. Definitely nice to learn about these terms, however.
It's actually 断袖 (duàn xiù; "cut sleeve"), which sounds sort of like 短袖 (duǎn xiù; "short sleeve"). This is not a modern LGBT phrase, though (which is why I didn't include it here)!
It's actually a euphemism for homosexuality that originates from the story of Emperor Ai (27 BCE – 1 BCE) of the Western Han Dynasty, who it was said cut his sleeve off to avoid waking up his lover Dong Xian in order to attend a morning meeting.
The story was recorded in 汉书 ("History of the Former Han", a history of Western Han written during Easter Han) and through the centuries "cut sleeve" became a euphemism for homosexuality.
Anyone else read the first sign as “you don’t matter give up”? Then you continue scrolling and have an “Oh, oohhhh’ moment? No? Just me then?
So guys we gonna get these scenes 2weeks later but i want to warn you because then we dont have any clue or pic for last 2 episodes:) its all we got from trailers,ending credits :) i hope we can survive:)
Does the red shirt Pat’s wearing not look like the same one in the end credits scene of the first half of the show where he’s looking at Pran singing?????
Creative & DIY
SO THAT’S HOW THEY FUCKING DO IT
Reblogging this because my entire life, all of my bows have looked like my shoelaces. Wrapping presents is going to be so much more aesthetically pleasing now
Not even just telling a story but having a normal conversatioy brain jumps back and forth between multiple topics, some of which we might not have spoken about in days, weeks or even months But acting like that's what we've been talking about the whole time.
One of my high school teachers summed it up best with "Teazia, someone needs to be really smart to be your friend"
Hi Mary! Do you know any good books about/coming from African countries? I try to have a diverse book collection and Africa is really lacking. Or maybe blogs/resources where I could find them? I tried googling but every list is the same 10 books and I'd like something more personal (fiction or non fiction I don't care). Thanks already and I hope you have a good day!
I'm ashamed to say I don't 😔
The only one I can think of, that's on my TBR as well, is My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithewaite (the author is Nigerian).
Does anyone else have any recommendations?
Trevor Noah's 'Born a Crime' is really good
Words to replace said, except this actually helps
I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

reblog to save a writer
Reblog because the titles for each category are comedy gold.
its the way how in every single episode kiekoi constantly highlights how attractive and good and enough kindness is. how attractive aoki finds ida's kindness. how attractive aoki finds hashimoto's kindness. how attractive ida finds aoki's kindness. how attractive hashimoto finds aida's kindness. how endearing hashimoto finds aoki's kindness. how amazing aida finds ida's kindness. how pure aida finds aoki's kindness. how inquisitive aida finds hashimoto's kindness. how comforting aoki finds aida's kindness.
really. its just a show about kindness. and how more than enough kindness alone is in every form of relationship. not once has the show given looks or any form of physical form or feature as much focus as it has kindness. maybe that says a lot about how as to why each relationship on the show just feels so real and deep and meaningful. because they're all built upon seeing kindness in one another, even though all of them are just high school kids.
you’ve summed up why this has become my ultimate fave, it’s just so wholesome and pure
