"But won't children be confused by all the LGBT-"

Yesterday I saw a mother with a baby carriage, being followed by a girl of about 4-6 years old on a bicycle. The kid started ringing her bike bell like RING RING RING RING RING RING RING, and the mother turned to look behind them to see whether they were being followed by a cyclist who desperately needs to pass them for the sake of everyone's safety.

And the little girl - who just rang the goddamn bell herself 5 seconds ago - also turned to look.

Kids are confused by everything at all times. They don't know jack shit. About anything.

i remember being like 8 or 9 and being told that my dad’s ex-wife was no longer diane and we were to address her as daniel now. my reaction: “ok.”

me and my brother later had a small discussion about whether that could happen randomly (conclusion: no, he probably had to file papers or something) and whether daniel should now be referred to as dad’s ex-husband (conclusion: yes but only to see the face he’ll make) but at no point did we find it like... alarming? the world is big and weird. we were used to it.

finding out a sorta-relative could just change genders off camera, as it were, was a whole lot less head-splodey than finding out there were no squirrels in australia!

There’s no what

"Won't they be confused by all the--" So what if they are? Life is often confusing. That's part of how we learn. Part of the job of an adult is to help confused kids learn and understand things. There's no obligation to protect the kids from the confusing things. Quite the reverse.

In my experience anyone using this BS excuse isn't worried about a child's potential confusion, but their own, which they don't want to admit to having.

I've been interested in this for a very long time now, but how much do people in fandoms care about the "order" of a ship name? An example:

Hinata x Kageyama = Kagehina OR Hinakage

Usually I find that the order of a ship name is used to show the dynamic of a ship. The first name in the ship name (e.g. Kage) is the top/dominant one, and the second name (e.g. Hina) is the bottom/submissive.*

In the context of polyamory, I've seen the same rule apply, except the character(s) who's name(s) is/are in the middle is/are usually a mix of the two possible dynamics (e.g. top/sub, bottom/dom) or something else entirely.

This is useful in the context of smut, where position and dom/sub dynamics are often relevant, but in a non-sexual context this is more so associated with stereotypical dynamics. It tells you who in the ship is the more stereotypically masculine one or more feminine one, or who is less masculine or feminine. This often presents a need to put ships into boxes of ship dynamic, not uncommonly reducing the actual dynamic that the characters have to a stereotype that "fits them."

Alternatively, one solution I've seen that aims to be more inclusive is this:

Kaiser x Ness = Kainesskai

This option puts together "Kainess" and Nesskai" to create a ship name that includes both dynamics and is open to interpretation.

So, my question is:

Do you care which ship name is used?

Yes, in a sexual context

Yes, in a non-sexual context

Yes, in both a sexual and non-sexual context

Yes, my reason is not mentioned above (please explain in the notes)

No, but I have a preference (please explain in the notes)

No

My answer is more complicated (please explain in the notes)

these tags by @vaguely-concerned cracked me up so I had to sketch it as baby Orufrey

Zulu Imbenge baskets are woven entirely of recycled telephone wire in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal, a province of South Africa. In the 1990s, Zulu women began repurposing discarded telephone wires, weaving them into intricate patterns to create colorful and durable baskets while preserving traditional weaving techniques.

please wear sunscreen!!! I've seen "fuck the beauty industrial complex" posts about complicated skincare regimens and am 100% with them except sometimes they mention sunscreen and no. no. absolutely not. sunscreen is a wonderful supportive friend who wants to keep you safe, and you should let her do it. throw out all your other cosmetics and skincare products if you want, but keep your sunscreen. and if you're not wearing sunscreen, start wearing it!!!! this is not about terror of aging, this is not about every tiny imperfection our fucked-up culture has made you feel insecure about, this is about protecting yourself from skin cancer. wear the damn sunscreen.
