ETC. - Notes
“everything by EbonyBeach.”
Anything by The Purple Pineapple: I love how daring she was to address their toxicity and the way she handled their angst. Plus points that she focuses on canon which is always a fave for me!
“All of BytesTheDust; All of kkimberly49.”
Thanks to the following readers who submitted their answers:
Hi sorry, happened to see the bi/pan pride question, do you think you could explain what that means? Im sorry
Hi there! Readers, anon is referring to this post.
It’s kind of confusing - the question here is “what the relationship of bisexuality and pansexuality - same thing, different, overlap, etc.”
Anon asked me not to tag posts that are about bi pride, “pan pride.” In theory this is because they want to make the point that not all bi people are pan.
Which is true. However, the terms are fuzzy inevitably because before “Pan” was a word, “Bi” meant different things to different bisexual people:
1. Some folks - “I’m bi, because I like two genders”
2. Other folks - “I’m bi, because I’m attracted to all people” (this was when the assumption was that there are two genders, so bi = everyone)
SO, as our understanding of gender deepened, a lot of folks said, “I’ve always called myself bi, but pan is more accurate.” Or poly.
But do these people now want to “leave” the bi community? Of course not. Words refer to political and community identities, which is why people identify as “gay” and “queer” even those are both used as slurs.
This leaves us today with a lot of people with a lot of different opinions, and some arguments. For example people arguing that it’s transphobic to identify as bi. Before “pan was a term,” I was bi and in a committed relationship with a trans woman. I wasn’t “wrong,” terms evolve. And I still am part of the bi community even while I recognize and embrace that language evolves. Labels are personal, political, and historical.
TL;DR: version - some people, including me, identify as Bi AND Pan. I was born bi, grew up bi, and am bi. Labels are useful but limited and here’s a classic example, because yes at the same time I’m pan.
I’m not arguing that all bi people are pan, I’m just pushing back against the reader who requested that I not tag bi pride posts as both bi pride AND pan pride, which I do depending on the context of the post.
Since I recently finished Hollow Knight for the first time and am currently going for 112% I ask if you could draw the best and probably most useful character jn the game aka the Old Stag? Idk why I like him so much but he's awesome!
of course!! i love that little(big?) guy!!!
here ya go! sorry for the wait OH also congrats for finishing the game, i hope you can do 112%
