Well hello there!

A snarky, generally boring British teenager who pretty much does nothing but reblog and add the occasional anecdote... So check the tags!

Nate Heywood’s character would work so much better if he was still in college. You know who I 223% believe is ready to drop all of their responsibilities and run away with a gang of time travellers? College students about ¾ of the the way through the semester.

Local Grad Student Accidentally Proves Existence of Time-Travelling Superheroes While Procrastinating on Thesis, Is as Surprised as Anyone

[batmanisagatewaydrug-deactivate]

I’m just saying, playing connect the dots with a bunch of apparently unrelated historical anecdotes, drawing them back to modern superheroes and villains, and concluding that time travel is the only logical conclusion is E X A C T L Y the sort of shit your brain pulls when you’re trying to avoid doing your actual work.

Julie D’Aubigny was a 17th-century bisexual French opera singer and fencing master who killed or wounded at least ten men in life-or-death duels, performed nightly shows on the biggest and most highly-respected opera stage in the world, and once took the Holy Orders just so that she could sneak into a convent and shag a nun.

bisexual opera singer who killed ten men and snuck into a convent to shag a nun.

Just so y'all know, she later set that convent on fire so she and that nun could sneak out. And she seduced one of the men she’d dueled.

Mademoiselle de Maupin (Julie d’Aubigny) has always been one of my role models. I’m so glad this post exists so more people can learn about her. The more you know, the more there’s to love. Let’s see:

Around 1678 (she was like fourteen or fifteen), she was making a living in Marseilles by doing fencing exhibitions, dressed in male clothes, with her boyfriend who was on the run because he killed a guy in an illegal duel in Paris.

Then she joined an opera company and fell in love with a young woman, but the woman’s parents decided to put her in a convent to, you know, protect her honor and all that…

…so yeah, that’s when the whole “sneaking into a convent to help a nun sneak out and also putting the room on fire” thing happened.

She wounded a guy through the shoulder with a sword in a duel because he had made fun of her clothes. They became friends after she came back a few days later to ask if he was okay.

She beat a singer who was quite famous at the time because he was being a jerk to some women from her new opera troupe in Paris.

She kissed a young woman in front of everyone at a society ball, and that angered three noblemen who were there, so she beat them all in duel and fled to Brussels. Then she resumed her opera career there.

Then she returned to the Paris opera and had yet more problems with the law because she beat up her landlord.

She retired to a convent after the death of her love Madame la Marquise de Florensac, and died at only 33 years old.

The legend says that she never got arrested for all her deeds because king Louis XIV thought she was way too entertaining to deserve death. I have no idea if that’s true. But she did sing in Versailles for the Court, so there’s that.

How badass can you be to basically get a lifetime pardon from the king?!

Am I the only one beginning to feel a bit as if the second season of Legends of Tomorrow is trying to turn Sara Lance into a lesbian, the same way Torchwood: Miracle Day felt like it turned Jack Harkness gay?

[coldtomyflash]

This has actually been discussed recently.  @phoenixfive has made a post with details that might be worth checking out. Apparently one of the writers tweeted that this is happening behind the scenes, but I can’t find the tweets myself so I can’t comment on that part of it, really.

But if they are trying to erase her bisexuality, that is complete horseshit. I’m pissed at the very idea of it, tbh. Bi-erasure is so frequent and constant in media (and real life) and Sara is one of the few main characters on TV who is bi and who the audience is forced to acknowledge as bi (when, you know, they’re not trying to erase it). It’s so important to me that she be bi that I honestly don’t know how mad I’ll be if they erase it, but it wouldn’t be pretty.

Honestly, I think it’s ludicrous to believe that Sara isn’t bisexual. We’ve seen her love both men and women, flirt with both, have genuine romantic and sexual attraction to both. I completely and fully understand the notion of compulsory heterosexuality and the effect it can have, but Sara has enjoyed romantic and sexual relationships with men (Oliver) after exploring those relationships with women (Nyssa) and did so in a healthy and authentic way. We also know that Berlanti has called her bisexual and so has Caity Lotz. Sara Lance is bi and always has been, full stop. To change that now would be revisionist and erasure, throwing every bi person under the bus.

I’ll accept if canon continues to pair her more and more with women, and show her flirting with them and not so much with men. Lots of bi people lean more toward one gender or another for various reasons, or it can be a kind of cyclical thing (e.g., after Leonard’s death and maybe some unresolved feelings about Leonard’s feelings for her, she feels more comfortable being with women right now). It might even be partially a response to her sister’s death, as the uptick in her sexual behavior in the first few episodes (Queen of France, Salem) could in part be her trying to cope with her emotions and grief not only through rage but also through sex and other things. 

So canon… well so long as it doesn’t outright erase her being bi, I’ll survive. If Mick points out that Sara likes women and she doesn’t correct him to say that she likes women and men, I’ll assume it’s because the last thing she needs is Jonah Hex getting any ideas about hitting on her to undermine her authority as captain, and because she doesn’t feel the point is worth correcting. 

But please, fandom, respect Sara’s bisexuality.

Being straight is like being in gryffindor: all the main characters are always gryffindor, there’s tons of merch for gryffindor, and no one’s gonna give you shit for being in gryffindor. 

Being gay is like being in slytherin: everyone has heard of it, but the merch is few and far between so you have to really want it. The only slytherin characters are secondary and morally gray. Some people think you are evil.

Being bisexual is like being in ravenclaw: there is no merch. there are no major ravenclaw characters. people definitely try to lump it in with either gryffindor or slytherin, and there are a few weird stereotypes.

being asexual is like being in hufflepuff:

things the flash tv show could easily be doing but isn’t so far aND IT’S DRIVING ME UP THE WALL 

letting wally use his mechanical engineering skills to help out at star labs 

giving us any [any at all] cisco x iris, cisco x wally and caitlin x iris scenes 

just!!! let cisco be vibe already!!! it’s season 3 it’s time 

giving us just one measly line [that’s all i ask] about where iris is currently living gdi. is she roommates with linda perhaps?? 

one scene with iris and linda being bffs every now and then isn’t going to kill you guys i promise 

why aren’t you using hartley. why has he only been in like 3 eps so far this is ridiculous 

now that len isn’t around, it would be really great if you would bring back golden glider and establish her as a villain in her own right instead of just captain cold’s baby sister i’m just saying

it would be really cool if she was leading a new team of rogues; maybe freed mirror master somehow and recruited him and the top and a few others 

also she and the top should be girlfriends
