give me ruby and yang being almost carbon copies of summer and tai.
give me ruby dreading running into any of her parentsā old friends because they always stop and stare at her, and she can see them whispering into their hands when they think sheās not looking. she knows what theyāre saying. summerās daughter, they whisper, never catching her eye. summerās daughter, not ruby. summerās daughter, but what they mean isĀ summerās ghost.
give me yang who has taiās eyes, taiās hair, taiās name, taiās easy confidence and easier grins. yang who smiles big and wide when sheās young while people shake their heads and tell her dad sheās going to be a handful if sheās anything like him, while he ruffles her hair and tells her sheās definitely going to be a handful, but thatās not a bad thing.Ā
give me yang noticing how different her dad is once summerās gone, how she still looks just like him, but no one ever mentions it anymore. they have the same features, but now they smile differently. hold themselves differently. and all she can do is watch as her dad stops being her dad.
give me ruby and yang being unwilling ghosts of their parents.Ā

Every OtherĀ Rom-Com Ever
Female Lead: I am an uptight workaholic, and am neurotic to the point of damaging my personal relationships. [trips and tells implausible lies] But Iām also clumsy and awkward so itās okay.
Best Friend: I am a quirky free spirit who inexplicably enjoys your company. Iām sassy, laid-back, and somehow always right.
Quirky Parents: Weāre benignly embarrassing! And also somehow always right.
Female Lead: Iām lonely, but I still have The Plan. Thatāll make me happy, right?
Best Friend: [rolls eyes] The Plan canāt keep you warm at night, if you know what I mean.
Quirky Parents: You canāt spend your life with The Plan. [Insert adorkable old people moment]
Both Together: THE PLAN DOES NOT INVOLVE LOVE.
Male Lead: [enters, probably awkwardly] Hello, I am a charming asshole whose assholery hides a sensitive heart.
Female Lead: YOU DO NOT GEL WITH THE PLAN.
Male Lead: Fuck The Plan. Stop being so uptight. Stop caring so much about things I donāt care about.
Female Lead: But I have dreams! Aspirations that have nothing to do with you!
Male Lead: [follows her around] Me, tho.
Female Lead: [relents] Perhaps you are correct.
[They are happy for 5 minutes, in which he is overbearing and she is uncomfortable cool with it.]
[Insert The Event. Maybe she lied to him. Maybe she prioritized her career and life goals over her sort-of-boyfriend. Maybe *gasp* AN EASILY EXPLAINABLE MISUNDERSTANDING. He shames her for what sheās done and storms off.]
Female Lead: I was wrong. But itās too late to apologize for some reason.
Best Friend OR Quirky Parents: You should apologize.
Female Lead: But itās too late for some reason! Also The Plan! Perhaps we were never meant to be.
Best Friend OR Quirky Parents: Fuck The Plan. This guy youāve known for like a week eclipses everything else. Go to him.
Female Lead: Youāre right! [leaves friendās wedding/important meeting/family reunion/etc. Goes to him with big gesture. Trips, because sheās still clumsy and awkward.] IāM SORRY FOR NOT MAKING YOU TOP PRIORITY IN MY LIFE, MAN IāM ONLY KIND OF DATING.
Male Lead: Iām sorry I shamed you for having a life plan that doesnāt revolve around romance/sex, but this scene still implies I was right to do so.
Female Lead: Fuck The Plan.
[They kiss]
Female Lead: [narrating] Thus I learned that romantic love is more important than any other kind of love, or financial stability, or dreams youāve had for literally decades. And I am better for it now. The End.

shoutout to bi people working through internalized biphobia
shoutout to bi people who feel pressured to pass as straight among straight friends and gay among gay friends but donāt really feel like you belong in either circle
shoutout to bi people who cringe at the inevitableĀ ābut I thought you were gay/straight!!!ā reaction whenever you express attraction to someone outside of your assumed gender preference
shoutout to bi people who have had their sexuality interrogated by other bi people because it doesnāt mirror their own experiences or fit their definition of what being bi means
shoutout to bi people reluctant to come out because theyāre tired of having to constantly defend their sexuality to anyone and everyone
iām here for you and i love you

NEW FREAKY YOUTUBE AD
WARNING TO EVERYONE OUT THERE
YouTube is playing a new ad that has a jumpscare before the skip button. If an ad starts playing thatās a green and white cigarette box sitting against a grey background
MUTE THE VIDEO AND/OR LOOK AWAY. A FREAKY-ASS CREATURE JUMPS OUT OF THE BOX AND AT THE SCREEN.
It scared the shit out of me and Iām in a decent state of mind. I know Iām not the only one who uses YouTube as a way to get out of my head, and when I come across ads like this one it only makes me feel worse. Thought Iād share in case someone needs to know. Please help me try and spread the word so people can be warned about this kind of thing!
