I saw hanukkah stuff 75% off (like getting rid of the stock) back in mid-November

I found (in my apartment building) a similar pot to the one in your icon but it says Garlic and now I call him Garlic Man and use him as a planter. I need to collect his friends, like Beet Root

Search ebay and etsy for SylvaC Pottery to find more!

@danigreyjoy replied to your post:

has either been confirmed in any version of canon? bc otherwise i have no issue with headcanoning either, but i wouldnt want to label her as bi if shes a canon lesbian and vice versa

the short answer is not to my knowledge, but also I’m not up to date with current DC rebirth canon by any means and I’m not really interested in trying after they started pulling the same nonsense that Marvel pulled with hydra. if anyone wants to give me sources where she uses the word lesbian/bisexual/pansexual/etc to describe herself, please send them my way.

okay so I’ll start with the headlines everyone’s quoting. back in September 2016, there was an interview done with Greg Rucka (one of the best Wonder Woman writers out there) where they asked him about Diana being queer. this is what he said, with the important bits bolded:

Yes [she is queer].

I think it’s more complicated though. This is inherently the problem with Diana: we’ve had a long history of people — for a variety of reasons, including sometimes pure titillation, which I think is the worst reason — say, “Ooo. Look. It’s the Amazons. They’re gay!”

And when you start to think about giving the concept of Themyscira its due, the answer is, “How can they not all be in same sex relationships?” Right? It makes no logical sense otherwise.

It’s supposed to be paradise. You’re supposed to be able to live happily. You’re supposed to be able — in a context where one can live happily, and part of what an individual needs for that happiness is to have a partner — to have a fulfilling, romantic and sexual relationship. And the only options are women.

But an Amazon doesn’t look at another Amazon and say, “You’re gay.” They don’t. The concept doesn’t exist.

Now, are we saying Diana has been in love and had relationships with other women? As Nicola and I approach it, the answer is obviously yes.

And it needs to be yes for a number of reasons. But perhaps foremost among them is, if no, then she leaves paradise only because of a potential romantic relationship with Steve [Trevor]. And that diminishes her character. It would hurt the character and take away her heroism.

When we talk about agency of characters in 2016, Diana deciding to leave her home forever — which is what she believes she’s doing — if she does that because she’s fallen for a guy, I believe that diminishes her heroism.

She doesn’t leave because of Steve. She leaves because she wants to see the world and somebody must go and do this thing. And she has resolved it must be her to make this sacrifice.

also for how they define queer: “For the purposes of this conversation, I would define “queer” as involving, although not necessarily exclusively, romantic and/or sexual interest toward persons of the same gender. It’s not the full definition, but it’s the part I’m narrowing in on here.” (this was said by the interviewer, not Rucka.)

here’s the source: http://www.comicosity.com/exclusive-interview-greg-rucka-on-queer-narrative-and-wonder-woman/

so if this is the interview that everyone’s quoting, and I’m certain it is, then the only thing it does is confirm that Wonder Woman is interested in women and that interest is an important piece of her character. it does not use the words bisexual, pansexual, lesbian, or any other sexuality identifier beyond queer.

there is also the relationships she’s had with people in different iterations of DC canon: off the top of my head, I know she’s dated Steve Trevor, Bruce Wayne, and Kal-El. I also have zero doubt in my mind that she’s dated women on Themyscira.

so then I’d say it’s ultimately up to the readers to say whether or not she’s interested in men from this moment on. because we know she’s always been interested in women, and we also know that lesbians can (and have) have pasts with men, whether they genuinely loved the man or not.

I like seeing Wonder Woman as bisexual because liking women makes sense for her character and I’ve enjoyed most of the relationships she’s had with men (Kal-El mostly being the exception, we don’t talk about new 52). but also I know I shouldn’t go out of my way to rain on anyone else’s parade if they say she’s a lesbian. because DC hasn’t given us a clear definition of her identity, and from the interview with Rucka, I don’t think they will. because he doesn’t see someone shouting “I’M GAY!” from the rooftops as good writing, even if that’s what it might take for people to understand that they are, in fact, gay.

for the anonymous messages I received earlier:

since DC Greg Rucka hasn’t confirmed anything specific beyond Diana being interested in women, I don’t think there’s erasure happening from either side. there are people who have read every comic and seen every JLU episode and think she’s a lesbian, and there are people who only watched the movie and think she’s bi. I don’t think either erases her sexuality. in addition, I want to point out that lesbian erasure is frequent just like bisexual erasure. which is why I said that lesbians have the right to see themselves in characters.

danigreyjoy replied to your post “yeah exactly. i get that labels can be flexible and fluid for some...”

i'd just add the only other situation (tho it's related) would be to protect the trans man if he's only out to that partner and/or a few select people. then i can def see having his lesbian partner not change labels so as not to out him

that’s a good point!

feb 19

February - give one fact/detail about your crush: her name is Max and she is v tol and v soft im love u @loserwave

19 - what do you look for in a significant other?: physically i always fall in to the pattern of “around my height/taller than me, chubby, soft facial features like they just have a sweet friendly face if that makes sense, curly hair, soft tummy” and like.....in terms of personality i always try and find someone who’s at least in to 1 thing I’m interested in and even if i can’t tbh i tend to fall for fuckin nerds who are super passionate about their interests.

we call it a snap general election, our prime minister is meant to call it when there is a huge change in circumstances ('ie brexit') but she's probably only called it because she's probably sick of people saying she's unelected and is very sure she'll win
