“Bisexuals in het relatonships shouldn’t be at pride” is literally the same as parents accepting their bisexual kids “as long as they only date the opposite sex” it boils down to “we accept you as long as ignore your true identity and act like youre just like us” this is not acceptance it is biphobia
On the one hand, i’m amused at the joke. On the other hand, I’m a librarian and this shelving is horrifying.
Well, no shelving system is without fault.
Hoooooo my god
So I used to have a Russian friend who had a pretty thick accent and like a lot of Russians tended to eschew articles. She would say things like “Get in car.” And stuff.
Well one day this asshole who had been kind of tagging along with us asks her why she talks like that because it makes her sound dumb and I still remember her response word for word.
“Me? Dumb? Maybe in America you have to say get in THE car because you are so stupid that people might just get in random car, but in Russia we don’t need to say that. We just fucking know because we are not stupid.”
Reblog if you are a fic writer who welcomes moodboards, playlists, remixes, art and any other type of gift based on your stories.
Hell yes, everyone is always welcome to do any of the things, you will have my undying love and appreciation for it. (Translations are also a-okay.)
Note to self: in order to write, you have to actually do more than stare at a Word document rereading what you’ve already written. For example, maybe typing new words would be a good strategy.
help me find the girl who was my first kiss
ok i know this is the biggest stretch but I’m looking for a girl who kissed me the night of nyc pride. Mystery Girl: You were somewhere around hudson street in manhattan and I was a little drunk. you had shoulder length brown hair (I think??) and were so pretty. You were walking with someone else too. I was wearing a ringer tee. you overheard me say that I hadn’t kissed a girl yet and offered to kiss me. and then you kissed me like it meant something.
reblog this if u want to see me be able to fully thank this person for giving me a night I’ll never forget and for ridding me of any doubts that I am so gay. uh so Mystery Girl if you exist and weren’t a figment of my drunk imagination, message me?
Bi character is only stated to be bi by the creators outside of the canon source: "That doesn't count at all, they should have at least mentioned it in the source material!"
Bi character is said to be bi within the source material: "That doesn't count, because it was only mentioned!"
Bi character's sexuality is an important part of their character: "Here we go again with the thinking mlm and wlw's lives revolve around their sexualities, ugh!"
Bi character has a love interest of the opposite gender: "So they're basically straight, the creators just want Woke Points™."
Bi character has a love interest of the same gender: "So they're basically gay, like nice try but bi people are still underrepresented and this isn't representation."
Bi character has more than one love interest: "Classic stereotyping bi people as promiscuous, god!"
Bi character literally exists in media at all: "This is somehow bad and problematic!!"
Great descriptions to bounce off of. Helps brainstorming.
Good brainstorming!
Consider:
Victorian England: 1837-1901
American Old West: 1803-1912
Meiji Restoration: 1868-1912
French privateering in the Gulf of Mexico: ended circa 1830
Conclusion: an adventuring party consisting of a Victorian gentleman thief, an Old West gunslinger, a disgraced former samurai, and an elderly French pirate is actually 100% historically plausible.
It really just comes down to whether a given individual or group is looking for reasons to include, or reasons to exclude. Hypothetical groups like these can go a lot further than this, too.
OK I WANT THIS REALLY BAD SO I MADE THIS REALLY QUICK
As much as I absolutely adore this, you’d probably have to come up with a fairly good reason for them to all meet up together in the first place. I mean, MLK and Anne Frank were born in the same year, but they lived on different continents and had no opportunity to meet. I’m not saying these cross cultural interactions are impossible, but choosing a certain region with an era isn’t necessarily exclusionary. It just doesn’t occur to people (or rather most writers in general) how well these eras matched up or how to connect these extremely varied backgrounds.
just make it a fighting game and ur good tho
I didn’t pick those roles at random, mind. All four of them are outlaws of some description, and thus have incentive to travel outside their native range - and in particular, all four of them would have any number of plausible excuses for ending up in San Francisco during the late 1860s or early 1870s. Once you’ve got them within shouting distance of each other, getting them in the same adventuring party is a simple matter of Plot.
I feel dumb for not picking up on that. :B I’d definitely be curious to know just what kind of hijinx they’d be getting themselves into (I can already imagine an Ocean’s Eleven-esque heist).
Out of curiosity, why San Fran? I’m a west coaster myself, but I usually picture New York when it comes to historical fiction.
1. San Fransisco in the early 1870s is both very prosperous and a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
2. It’s more plausible for a vaquero and a ronin samurai to meet there by chance - New York is on the wrong coast entirely for that.
3. Emperor Norton.

“I’m not ready for kids” LOL
Imagine being a kid in school. Your teacher comes up with an idea for class picture. Every student will draw pictures of their friends.
Everyone starts drawing enthusiasticly, and can’t wait to see what they look like in the drawings. When pictures are ready you notice that popular students have more pictures than rest, but nobody has done a drawing of you. The teacher notices that too, and asks if someone would do your picture. To your horror the class clown takes the job, and comes up with a caricature of you. Others are laughing, but you’re not. You feel awful. The teacher notices that. and asks again someone to do a drawing of you. One of the ‘good students’ starts drawing, but the result is forced. It’s just a drawing of a generic child wearing a shirt of same color as you a wearing. There’s no spirit, no soul in it. You start sensing that the class is geting frustrated with you. They want to be done with this. You ask quietly the teacher if you could do a drawing yourself.
After school your classmates confront you. Why did you have to make such a big deal out of it? The first picture was funny. The second picture was just fine! The drawing you did yourself wasn’t right, do you think you are that good-looking? There were other kids who got only one or two pictures of themselves. Who are you to demand special treatment? Maybe there would have been a picture of you if you weren’t such annoying baby, nobody likes you anyway, and nobody’s going to if you keep on being like that, you don’t deserve a drawing!
This could be story of bullying, but it’s also about how I see portraying LGBTQ+-people and PoC in mainstream entertainment.
Thanks to Fandoms and Feminism for inspiration!
This is a great metaphor.
This is the most accurate fucking post I’ve ever seen in my life oh my god.
This is incredible. A perfect metaphor. And it really points out how fucking childish it is to insist that representation does not matter.
That is indeed vaguely threatening encouragement from a small octopus.

If depression was a musical
This is a bop
ok this keeps coming on my dash and every time the notes are filled with people being like WHAT IS THIS so i am HERE TO ENLIGHTEN YOU, FRIENDS
this is from the musical Firebringer which is free to watch on Youtube. it’s by Team StarKid of A Very Potter Musical fame (think you recognize the girl singing? that’s Lauren Lopez, also known as the funniest Draco Malfoy the world has ever seen)
anyway, Firebringer is a female-driven, hilarious musical about bisexual cavewomen and you are going to want to watch it. trust me.
WATCH FIREBRINGER!
Our entire office sings this at least once a week.

In class today, Trump was somehow brought up and someone said that Trump was a neo-nazi and my professor was like, “Trump hasn’t ever said he was a neo-nazi” and another kid said, “I was still gay before I started calling myself gay!” and realized what he said and he looked just mortified but it was the greatest response to anything I’ve ever heard
When trump makes you so angry that you ram down the closet door to call out some bs
