Chronicles of War: A BIPOC and QTIPOC Futurism Project Series Trilogy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGw3Ie_aFbo.

Hleor and Loran made a massive palace for him/her/them Kana’i Makoa Latu/Ataahua Kamalani Latu the queer and trans Asian Pasifika and Afro Latine Native demigod and alien hybrid superhero (AKA Ryuu Kato/Haruka Kato, Francisco Alejandro Diego Garcia Ochoa/Francisca Alejandra Maria Garcia Ochoa, Guang/Biyu Wei, Zana Saani, or Kalani as someone with DID) in a giant castle on the colonized and terraformed planet of the Andromeda Galaxy. A titanic castle that acts as a main operating base.

The castle is defended by SSSS rank paladins in power armor. The castle is surrounded by several colossal citadels, forts, & bastions that act as forward operating bases. The forts, bastions, & citadels are defended by S rank, SS rank, & SSS rank paladins in mech suits, walking tanks, & battlewalkers. Each citadel, fort, & bastion is surrounded by several outposts, several guard posts, & several guard towers defended by C class, B class, A class, & S rank knights in power armor.

Built around the castle are several kingdoms that make up the empire. The empire or federation of kingdoms on this planet itself is defended by Iuyamanian super soldiers manning 7.76mm plasma Gatling guns, 50 caliber or 12mm hard light heavy machine guns, plasma batteries, laser batteries, hard light middle silos, ballistic missile silos, ion cannons, zero point energy cannons, rail guns, electromagnetic cannons, positron cannons, & mass accelerator cannons.

Outside the castle is the unpolluted atmosphere where you can stare at a neighboring planet with a planetary ring and its three moons at either side of the sphere with the gray one smaller than the vivid white one. The castle on the colonized and terraformed planet inside the Andromeda Galaxy. It is in the Principality of the Ethanxiian Kingdoms of the Ethanian Federation that Alexander/Alexandria rules.

Nonetheless it was somehow outrageous and supernatural in its appearance. It looked more majestic than anything the superhuman, metahuman, divine (such as old god), or extraterrestrial (such as Kryptonian, Daxamite, Martian, or Tamaranean) mind could possibly visualize. It was grandiose and regal with its unfeasibly high minarets vanishing into the atmosphere. Its spires were pointed to the skies itself as if challenging the gods and titans themselves to strike it down with divine thunder and heavenly lightning. It is clearly meant to be a complete show of strength or power and affluence and influence.

Inside this empire were several settlements, villages, towns, cities, counties, states, & countries. These countries made up the Principality of the Ethania of the Northern,Western, Eastern, & Southern Kingdoms of the Federation of Ethax. This castle of the Cardinal Changeling in Ethax was in the epicenter in the city. The city that was the capital of the empire or federation of kingdoms.

The capital of the empire itself is centered around this fortress. This palace or fortress built for Cardinal Changeling is meant to be evaded. It is meant to be a sign of the empire’s strength or federation’s and toughness. It was an empire or federation that was under the protection of the Cambion Chimera as he/she/they were the Savior of the Milky Way Galaxy and the Conqueror of the Andromeda Galaxy. To these people you don’t get close to their monarch and sovereign Blue Basilisk you stay out of his/her/their way. This is how they viewed Golden Griffin as someone they saw as their protector. The palace of this kingdom that was the capital of the coalition is probably the tallest thing for miles and kilometers. With the kingdom laid out with the palace at the center you can see it at the end of every street, road, or freeway. It is even echoed in the rest of the city of the kingdom. Look at the metropolis around the Firebrick Firefox’s fortress. Look at the outline, layout, & design of the city. The entire capital of the empire is centered around this fort with the bastion as its hub or heart. The point of that palace is that they don't get close to the Emerald Eagle or Jade Jaguar who they see as their king/queen or emperor/empress. They just follow his/her/their leadership and defer to him/her/them for guidance. They put him/her/them as the chief celebrity in the alliance or coalition of kingdoms above everyone else. It made it so you can’t go anywhere without seeing his/her/their prominence. Behold it says gaze at the castle of their leader, the one who united warring kingdoms into a federation.

Throughout the hallways of the colossal palace and titanic fortress were one hundred colossal holographic figurines spread across the room that strongly looked like each of the active members of the Elites and Paragons that Cambion Chimera founded. It showed the Elites as a beacon of hope and faith. It showed the Paragons as a legacy of heroism and gallantry. It showed the Elites and the Paragons as valiant, courageous, & brave protectors. It showed them as the knights the public of the planets, solar systems, & galaxies thought them to be. In the back behind all of the statues of the Elites and the Paragons leading them was their strike team leader, founder, & commander in the statue of the Cardinal Changeling or the Scarlet Shapeshifter. It showed him/her/them as a warden of light, a guardian of life, & a defender of good. It showed him/her/them as the paladin that the citizens of the universe, multiverse, & omniverse thought him/her/them to be. This was a nice tribute to him/her/them he/she/they thought, So why the fuck was everything else of this palace so goddamn pretentious?

Hleor and Loran said, “Your men and women under your command the Elites and the Paragons designed this statue that we built for you.” The Elites and Paragons had a division of preteen members, a branch of teenage members, a sector of young adult members, & a department of adult members. The Elites were a superhero, antihero, & supervillain conglomerate of the teams the Vigilantes, Apex, Exiles, Outcasts, Paramount, Alpha, Wildcards, Ironclad, & Centurions. The Paragons were a superhero, antihero, & supervillain conglomerate of the teams the Omega, Delta, Cinnabar Celestials, Psion Primordials, Wraithlike Wardens, Iron Inquisitors, Titanium Templars, Ion Immortals, Illusionists, Aurora, Colossals, Emerald Ethereals, & Rangers. Most of the Elites and Paragons were Indigenous or people of color. Several of the Elites and Paragons were lgbt. Some of the Elites and Paragons were disabled. The Elites and Paragons were mostly people of color. Several of the Elites and the Paragons were Polynesian, Micronesian, or Melanesian (Hawaiian, Tahitian, Maori, Fijian, Tongan, & Chuukese) Indigenous Pasifika. Several of the Elites and the Paragons were Anishinaabe, Apache, Apsaalooke, Blackfoot, Cheyenne, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Chumash, Cree, Dine, Hopi, Inuit, Iroquois, Lumbee, Menominee, Mohawk, Ohlone, Salish, Shoshone, Tongva, Tsalagi, Yaqui, & Zuni Indigenous. The statues were each member of the Elites and Paragons in each of their superhero, antihero, or supervillain costumes, combat armor, and power armor in all sorts of valiant poses. That wasn’t so bad.

The Elites is a superhero team with enough metahuman and superhuman members to defend the entire Sol Star System. The Paragons are a superhero team with enough metahuman and superhuman members to defend the Polaris Star System, Vega Star System, & the Sol Star System. The founding members of the Elites were also the founding members of the Paragons.

The entire giant royal and regal throne room of the palace is evocative of a medieval imperial throne room. Burgundy rugs were spread across the metal floors and cherry curtains were hung around the windows. There were many bronze and iron effigies of Roman Amazons of Greek Mount Olympus and Greek Amazons of Roman Mount Olympus in Greco-Roman armor and armed with Greco-Roman swords and shields riding alicorns, unicorns, & pegasi. There were many steel busts of Atlanteans (from the Atlantean Empire ruled by the son of Neptune and an Atlantean Empress) in Atlantean armor riding armed with tridents or quindents riding giant great white sharks, dolphins, & hippocampi (or underwater horses).

The statues looked convincing as when the palace needed defending there is magic that has the statues come to life to defend the palace. Besides the busts the most noticeable entity in the room had to be the titanic onyx throne levitating in the middle of the audience chamber. For heaven's sake he/she/they thought. No mortal or immortal had ever seen anything as self-indulgent and pretentious as this before. The levitating jet black throne had cherry satin pillows for a seat and four mammoth carved divine wings spread out from each side which gave the whole thing an ethereal and celestial facade. It was stunning. It was an immense floating throne ornamented with diamonds, silver, & gold radiant in the luminosity of the throne room. The armrests were bejeweled with precious stones and gems. There were extravagant designs.

Behind the throne was a gaudy holographic bust of Cardinal Changeling. Near the throne were marble statues of his/her/their adoptive children of color teenager Nathaniel “Nate” Nguyen, preteen Takeda Sato, young adult Maria Garcia Morales, & adult Farah Ali and his/her/their adoptive Cree Indigenous children young adult Wapun Aponi Barnett, teenager Kitchi Barnett, & preteen Ahanu Barnett.

If you presume that Alexander/Alexander had not approved or had no say in how this colossal bronze, iron, copper, steel, silver, platinum, & gold immortalization tribute of himself/herself/themselves turned out. Then we can also assume that this is how this empire and federation wants the world to see him/her/them. As a powerful, strong, influential, & commanding ruler. As someone who was a dominant and potent force. This was not how Kalani or Zana Saani ever saw himself/herself/themselves as.

On either side of the levitating throne were dozens of steel statues of winged Aesir Valkyries wearing Asgardian chain mail armor armed with Asgardian spears riding alicorns (winged unicorns). The statues looked realistic as when Crimson Changeling, the monarch of this palace, needed defending there is magic that has the statues come to life to defend him/her/them. He/she/they did not like this commemoration of him/her/them. He/she/they preferred the one on Terra or Earth that the Indigenous superheroes and superheroines and Indigenous Pasifika superheroes and superheroines built as a memorial and monument to him/her/them.

Kana’i Makoa Latu/Ataahua Kamalani Latu was walking through the Ethanxiian Principality or Federation of the kingdoms of Ethanxii. He/she/they were walking past the shops, inns, bars, saloons, & taverns that made of the settlements, villages, & towns of their empire. He/she/they were walking talking with the citizens of the cities and metropolis of the counties, states, & countries that made up their federation. He/she/they slipped past the guards of the guard towers, guard posts, outposts, forts, bastions, & citadels that were defending the castle that was the capital of this empire.

He/she/they then entered the castle. The castle that was now in ruins after years, decades, & centuries had passed after his/her/their death during the Battle of the Polaris System had ended the Alpha Centurion War that engulfed heroes, antiheroes, & villains of the multiverse in intergalactic war. The castle that Hleor and Loran built for him/her/them. He/she/they opened the large doors of the castle and entered inside where Hleor and Loran were waiting for him/her/them.

Guang/Biyu Wei asked, “What is this Loran and Hleor?” “This our love was meant to be your throne room.” “A throne room in a castle fit for a god/goddess or a titan let alone a king/queen or an emperor/empress.” “This is the only throne in the entire cosmos that is worthy of you.” “It was a throne room worthy of the High King of the Federation of Ethania.” “It was a place of incredible magnificence and splendor.” “It was a place of unthinkable power and strength.” “It was meant to be the seat of your influence and control.” “That was before it was reduced to this...” “We built its ages ago after you died.” “We made this for you before you disappeared.” “We built it to celebrate you and the heroes and heroines under your command.” “It was so beautiful.”

“Now it’s just in ruins.” “The people of the empire or federation abandoned it eons ago.” This is a memory of Crimson Changeling sitting on a throne in the palace in the castle on the moon. It was fitting for someone called a Titan of War. That is if the palace wasn’t abandoned for years, decades, & centuries forsaken by the people of this empire of kingdoms after his/her/their death. The castle was in ruins. The spires and minarets that once towered into the stars itself had all collapsed. The castle was now covered in moss and vines. The fountains of the castle were now covered in algae. Most of the ceilings or roofs of the castle had collapsed. Most of the walls of the castle had eroded. Birds and bats had made nests in the still intact ceilings and roofs. Animals had made a home in the castle. The great hall was still undamaged somewhat speaking of course. The throne room was now covered in dust and cobwebs. The curtains and rugs were all tarnished. The metal statues were now covered in rust. The marble statues were on the ground in shattered pieces. The holographic statues had lost power and were deactivated. The palace was ransacked. All the metals of iron, bronze, silver, gold were stolen. All the precious gemstones that were pearl, sapphire, ruby, emerald, diamond, etc. in the floating throne chair taken. The floating throne room had collapsed into several pieces and was in ruins.

The castle was the epicenter of the anomaly. Where everyone that was humanoid, both human and alien, inside was altered by the anomaly. They were beyond what was defined as bionics or cyborgs. They were beyond what was defined as alien hybrids and demigods. They were beyond what was defined as metahumans and superhumans. They were simply undefinable. They were given superhuman level strength, intelligence, speed, durability, agility, flexibility, stamina, etc. They were given supernatural or absolute level superpowers. They were marked blue. Where everything inside that was organic that was beast, monster, creature, & animal was affected by rot/decay. They were marked green. They turned more feral and hyper aggressive to anything outside the barrier. Where everything inside that was inorganic was affected by corruption. They were marked red. This affected artificial intelligences, robots, androids, nanobots, holograms, cybernetic implants, bionic implants, hardware, software, etc. The capital city was hit by psionic storms that affected telepaths and empaths. They were marked purple. The country that the capital itself was hit by temporal rifts that ripped apart space and time. The continent was affected by environmental anomalies that turned the continent into an arctic tundra, desert, jungle, forest, & grasslands. To protect the anomaly from spreading anywhere else the castle was sealed off from the outside with a forcefield and shield. No one entered or left.

Everyone and everything still inside was damned to die. It is said the reason for the anomaly was the high king/high queen or emperor/empress themselves. Rage, hatred, sorrow, & pain at their life, how they felt about themselves, & how they died. Not being able to come to grips with being from two worlds as a demigod and alien hybrid. How they felt about being disabled, queer/trans, native, & a person of color. How they felt about being murdered for their identites by planetary settler colonizer governments. So when they were assassinated their powers lashed out and created the anomaly.

They were killed twice, once as a demigod, & second as an alien hybrid. They were resurrected twice. In their first death they were killed by a behemoth created by adamantine, mithril, divine iron, heavenly bronze, stellar titanium, & celestial steel and other magical metals. A monster made sentient by arcane and esoteric aether and nether. It was created by demigods, deities, & titans. It was commanded by enemy gods. In their second death they were slain by a spear with a blade made by the strongest metal in the omniverse that cut through the chest of their power armor and an explosive javelin coated with unknown substances that pierced the back of their power armor. It was created by remnants of the earth government and Terran dominion regime. It was wielded by a leader of the Forces of Evil.

So it kept happening this anomaly until he/she/they were resurrected and left to find inner peace in his/her/their mind, heart, & soul. When they were brought back to life, because of how they died, what happened to them in the afterlife, & how they were brought back to life. Their mind was possessed, their heart was corrupted, their mana was contaminated, their soul was tainted, & their body was decayed. They had to be purified and healed by nanites, medicine, healers, potions, magic, etc. when they were resurrected by talismans, charms, & amulets.

When he/she/they came home to Ethania it was nice to see that the empire itself was still prospering as its Emperor/Empress and High King. Inside of a colossal castle on a terraformed and colonized moon of the Andromeda Galaxy. You will find a lone king/queen sitting on a great throne. A emperor/empress with no crown or circlet. A king/queen with no kingdom or realm to rule over. A sovereign sitting on a broken throne. You will see the great monarch of the Principality of Ethanxiia of the Empire of Ethan the legendary Alexander Kana’i Mack Ryuu Francisco Makoa Smith/Alexandria Ataahua Macy Haruka Francisca Kamalani Smith. A sovereign in a suit of combat armor and power armor with nothing but a sword and shield in his/her/their hands. Silently watching over the earth and seas beneath him/her/them. Wordlessly staring at the sky and stars above him/her/them with eyes full of sorrow and torment pondering about what could have been. Pondering if there ever was a way to change what has been done, to save what was lost, to change the past that relentlessly haunts him/her/them. Wondering could his/her/their life have been any different? He/she/they were sitting on the collapsed ruins of the levitating throne. This was no place for a king/queen let alone a god/goddess. He/she/they preferred it that way to be honest. This place in the past deified and venerated him/her/them as a titan or god. It was only recently that Hleor, Loran, & Melmih ordered the citizens of the empire to repair and maintain this place when they learned of his/her/their resurrection. By the feet of the destroyed throne was his/her/their pets a hellhound bathed in demonic hellfire, an alien dog covered in scales, & a wolf with a cybernetic leg and a bionic eye.

There were many bronze and iron effigies of Roman Amazons of Greek Mount Olympus and Greek Amazons of Roman Mount Olympus in Greco-Roman armor and armed with Greco-Roman swords and shields riding Pegasi. There were many steel busts of Atlanteans (from the Atlantean Empire ruled by the son of Neptune and an Atlantean Empress) in Atlantean armor riding armed with tridents or quindents riding giant great white sharks. The statues looked convincing as when the palace needs defending there is magic that has the statues come to life to defend the palace. On either sides of the levitating throne were dozens of steel statues of winged Aesir Valkyries wearing Asgardian chain mail armor armed with Asgardian spears riding alicorns (winged unicorns). The statues looked realistic as when Crimson Changeling the monarch of this palace needs defending there is magic that has the statues come to life to defend him/her/them. For so long because of the arcane and esoteric magic of this place these metal statues protected and defended an empty throne of a dead monarch. They waited for so long for their sovereign to return. But eons passed as they waited years, decades, & centuries. Even when this palace was abandoned and reduced to ruins they still waited. Even when they themselves became covered in rust they still waited.

on a brighter note I finished my mage designs :)

I will be redesigning Flamberge tho I’ve seen so many cooler Manticore images and I’m gonna post her separately

headcanons under the cut/ TW for suicide near the end, I will mark where

Francisca:

og name: Amelia/Lumi

Fran was a human turned sea monster, her parents abandoned her because she didn’t want to move to warmer climate, when she became a sea monster her memories were altered and erased to make her believes she was always one of them, she is very devoted to their cult and their god, the only reason she joined

her death was caused by her being captured by humans and she was tortured and froze to death

Jambandran is because Hyness wouldn’t let her go once she had her magic she was chained to him, she hates it, she doesn’t believe a thing in the Jam Cult, yet she puts on a human figure and does what her sisters do just to fit in, secretly she’s spying on them, when she has the chance she will contact the high priest and tell him everything

She prefers to be called Lumi, so that’s what I’ll be calling her

she fights with Zan often

Flamberge:

og name: Hazel

Flamberge is bold, she’s always willing to fight for what she think is right, yet she is often also a little timid and sad, that happiness is all fake

she acts chaotic, because everyone likes it, it makes her feel more normal about herself, but she’s suffering, mostly from trauma, her species as a Manticore is rare due to being feared, they were hunted down and their numbers are low, her family was forced to hide in the forest, yet even so she was found, they took her away, called her terrible things, hurt her, until they finally burned her alive

Hyness got there last moment, and saved her from too much damage, but she’d never be the same

Flam has a prosthetic hand, it’s her left, it was burned off so Hyness made it for her, she personally hates it, so she doesn’t wear it unless she has to, even so she works out as a distraction, all three sisters do, they try to balance it all out, but Flamberge has worked hard with her right arm just so she could hold a two handed sword with one hand

she’s a healer, she makes potions, medicines, and even new spells to help those she loves, it’s against her ways to use them for anything other than healing, but at times she does make potions that have 24 hour effects, just for fun

she’s the peacekeeper, breaks up fights between Zan and Lumi

Zan Partizanne:

og name: Winona

born in a field town which was mostly farm land she actually has quite a bit of knowledge on plants, she adores sunflowers

she quick, always fast on her feet, it makes up for her lack of arm strength but she’s working on it, she’s just not very good at it

she can’t fly, her wings have a mutation where her flight feathers didn’t really grow in, she still has the baby feathers so her wings are fluffy, molting is a pain in the ass and sh is incredibly itchy during this time, Flamberge made an ointment that helps but it messes up her feathers and makes her a little uncomfortable, but less than before

she was homeschooled and never learned how to read, write, etc, her parents were awful teachers yet had good intention, they pulled he rout because she attacked a kid during free time and the nurse declawed her, she’s self conscious about her lack of griffin qualities and other skills, even so she is incredibly smart, she‘s the only person in the whole base that knows much at all about technology, but she’s more into how it works, she doesn’t know too much and anything above gears is beyond her knowledge, basically she’s a part time mechanic for everyone and everything, but nobody outside of Jambandra Base can read her notes because it’s all in Jambandran, unless they can translate

Zan was kidnapped from her town one day, she was playing when she was taken, nobody helped her. She was sent away to a far planet and was forced to work, the place was rocky and cold, with towers and rain was common, she wasn’t used to it. She suffered through abuse and was overworked, but she did learn a lot from this experience, but more trauma that anything really. She had a friend who lived there, she taught her how to use a spear and gave Zan her spear, but she pitied her life and helped her escape, but they died saving her.

tw for suicide, you can skip this part

Zan lost all hope and tried to end it all through suicide, climbing the tallest tower, she looked to the sky and decided to taunt it before she left, waving her spear and saying terribly things about herself, until she was struck down by the sky.

ok it’s over now

When Hyness found her he didn’t want to give her lightning magic, it was a little unstable and hard to control, but it was usable, he gave it to her and went back, her recovery was very slow and she was easily fucked up, as in she had brain damage, her eye sight was bad, she pretty much lost her hearing etc, it took her time to recover being struck by lightning but she was given a pair of glasses (she doesn’t wear them during battles or practice) and possibly something similar to a hearing aid?? Magical Earrings™️

She was shy at first, and very self conscious, but slowly she became braver and started loving herself again

she fights with Lumi often

The theater was really full tonight so there are a good number of heads in this video, but they are worked around to the best of my ability. This is a super small theater (less than 160 seats) and at times the cast members were definitely singing to the camera and honestly giving their best performances because of it. All of the things on the upper level (the bathroom, the pathway, and the kitchen) are captured perfectly, and the zooms on the lower level (the living room and bench) look good as well. Obviously because this is a murder mystery kind of show the lighting can get a little bit dark, but my camera handles low lighting incredibly well.

Neil Morris, speaking to Alan Lomax in 1959:

“Well, when I was just a small boy, Old Uncle Milt Oldfield…Billy Oldfield, the Congressman from Arkansas for so long, it is his father. He and my father are awfully close friends. And they were discussing music. They were music teachers both of them.

“And uh, and they said, dad did and Uncle Milt sanctioned what he said, that MUSIC HAD NO END. That you could learn all the other guy [or girl] learned, and after you got that done they would then, something else would crop up. That uh, that you, that was the reason why that uh, music advanced. That’s why that you would get a better music in one generation maybe that is, uh, IT WOULD FIT THE TIMES IN WHICH THEY LIVED.”

[Lomax: “What about music on the grapevine?”]

“Welllll, they said that MUSIC GREW LIKE THE GRAPEVINE THAT IS NEVER PRUNED. That each year it’d…it’d put on a little bit more. That was what they said, now, about it. Any further questions?”’

Waiting to pack into those trains

Chennai, June 3 At least one franchisee of the India Premier League (IPL) has crossed break even numbers even as the inaugural 45 day, 59 match cricket tournament, launched by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), wound to a close last week.India Cements Ltd (ICL), owner of the Chennai Super Kings franchise that was runner up in the trophy final, has made a marginal profit beating its own expectations by a year.ICL had bid $91 million or about Rs 360 crore for owning the Chennai Super Kings team over a 10 year period.

When the concept took off about four months ago, India Cements had expected that the actual break even may happen in the second or third year. Unexpectedly, cheap nfl jerseys the cash registers have been ringing from the word go.A consultant to the IPL had said that to do well, IPL had to eyeballs on the screen and bums on the seats! That was a cheeky reference to television advertisement revenue and stadium collections. If the initial figures are any indication, they seem to have done just that.Speaking on its successful run in the maiden edition of the IPL, Mr Rakesh Singh, Joint President, (Marketing), India Cements, said ICL had spent about Rs 70 crore on the whole exercise so far.

From here, slowly lower your body using your core, maintaining a straight body line. nfl jerseys

Cheap Jerseys china When you are done supplicating at the relics of the stars, there is the Great Hall to visit. It contains the Holy Grail of the sport, the Stanley Cup. Visitors eagerly pose to have their photos taken with the cup and fathers and mothers, but mostly fathers, point out to their children the names of teams and players that they worshipped when they themselves were kids, passing down the religion from one generation to the next..

ABC's gio Benitez is at metlife stadium tonight, where there is unprecedented security. New Jersey courts have established precedents for challenging termination in certain instances. http://www.okcheapjerseys.com/ One precedent applies to terminations that result from an employee's refusal to perform a criminal act that violates state statutes, as well as broader notions of public good or civic duty. Another applies to terminations that violate "implied contracts," which means oral or written assurances from employers that dictate the reasons and procedures for terminations. Cheap Jerseys china

Black is popular in many cities, as is white.. wholesale jerseys

Nobody else was. https://www.cheapjerseys18.com/ The All Blacks returned in 1976, soon after the deadly Soweto riots, and drew international condemnation. nfl jerseys

How TV Is Putting the ‘B’ in LGBTQ — And Why It Matters – Rolling Stone

“Mom. Dad. I know you don’t want to talk about this, but I do. I might get married to a man, like you so clearly want. And I might not. Because this is not a phase, and I need you to understand that. I’m bisexual.” That’s Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz), Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s resident no-nonsense detective, pouring out her heart to her parents in the show’s landmark 100th episode. To which her dad (Danny Trejo) stoically replies, “There’s no such thing as being bisexual.”

Beatriz, who is bisexual herself, wrote in GQ: “When does it end? When do you get to stop telling people you’re bi? When do people start to grasp that this is your truth? …When do you start seeing yourself reflected positively in all (hey, even any?) of the media you consume?”

There’s a real cognitive dissonance to identity erasure. You can be standing right in front of someone telling them exactly who you are, and they can just look right through you, and intone, like a Westworld robot, “That doesn’t look like anything to me.” Nevertheless, it’s a daily reality for LGBTQ folks, and bi- and pansexual people in particular. (The term pansexuality, which has come into wider use in recent years, intends to explicitly refer to attraction to all genders, not just cisgender people — or, as self-identified pansexual Janelle Monae put it in Rolling Stone last year: “I consider myself to be a free-ass motherfucker.” However, many in the queer community define bisexuality the same way. You can read more about that conversation here.) Until recently, sexual and gender identities that existed outside the binary have been anathema to mainstream culture — and often, even, to more traditionalist branches of gay culture.

For a long time, people who identify as bisexual or pansexual didn’t have a whole lot of visible role models — particularly on television. But as our understanding of the LGBTQ spectrum has become more diverse and nuanced over time, there’s been a blossoming of bi- and pansexual representation. In the past few years, characters such as Rosa on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, David Rose on Schitt’s Creek, Darryl Whitefeather on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and Leila on The Bisexual — to name just a few — have been at the forefront of a bi- and pansexual renaissance on the small screen.

But it wasn’t always this way. Even after television began to centralize gay characters and their experiences — on shows like Ellen, Will & Grace, Queer as Folk, and The L Word — the “B” in that alphabet soup fell to the wayside. Bisexuality was seldom mentioned at all, and if it was, it existed chiefly as a punch line — an easy ba-dum-CHING moment for savvy characters to nose out someone who wasn’t as in the know as they were. On Sex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw called bisexuality “a layover on the way to Gaytown”; and on 30 Rock, Liz Lemon dismissed it as “something they invented in the Nineties to sell hair products.”

Even some of the earliest shows to break ground for queer representation didn’t factor bisexuality or pansexuality into their worldviews. The designation basically didn’t exist in the gay-straight binary world of Queer as Folk, and was largely seen as a phase on The L Word. Buffy the Vampire Slayer gave many TV viewers their first-ever depiction of a same-sex relationship in 1999 with the Wicca-fueled romance between Willow Rosenberg (Alyson Hannigan) and Tara Maclay (Amber Benson), but the show too neatly glossed over Willow’s years-long relationship with her boyfriend Oz (Seth Green) as a fleeting step on the way to full-time lesbianism. Or, as Willow succinctly put it in Season 5: “Hello! Gay now!”

Characters who labeled themselves as bisexual were considered to be confused at best and dangerously promiscuous at worst. On The O.C. in 2004, Olivia Wilde’s bi bartender character, Alex Kelly, appeared as a destabilizing force of chaos in the lives of the show’s otherwise straight characters. On a 2011 episode of Glee — a show which, at the time, was breaking ground for gay representation on TV — Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) savagely shot down his crush, Blaine (Darren Criss), when Blaine mentioned that he might be bi: “‘Bisexual’ is a term that gay guys in high school use when they want to hold hands with girls and feel like a normal person for a change.” By the end of the episode, Blaine assures Kurt that he is, don’t you worry, “100 percent gay.”

One of TV’s first enduring portrayals of nonbinary sexual attraction came with the entrance of Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) into Russell T. Davies’ 2005 Doctor Who reboot. (Davies also created the original U.K. Queer as Folk.) The time traveler swashbuckled into the series to equal-opportunity flirt with the Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) and his companion Rose (Billie Piper), because, as the Doctor explains, “He’s a 51st-century guy. He’s just a bit more flexible.” Captain Jack went on to feature in his own spinoff series, Torchwood.

Then came Callie Torres on Grey’s Anatomy. Portrayed by Sara Ramirez (who came out as bisexual herself in 2016), Callie had a seasons-long arc that spanned from her burgeoning realization of her bisexuality in 2008 to her complex relationships with both men and women over the years. Callie’s drunken rant from the 11th season would make a great T-shirt to wear to Pride if it weren’t quite so long: “So I’m bisexual! So what? It’s a thing, and it’s real. I mean, it’s called LGBTQ for a reason. There’s a B in there, and it doesn’t mean ‘badass.’ OK, it kind of does. But it also means bi!”

Once the 2010s rolled around, representation began to pick up steam. True Blood’s Tara Thornton (Rutina Wesley), The Legend of Korra’s titular hero (Janet Varney), Game of Thrones’ Oberyn Martell (Pedro Pascal), The Good Wife’s Kalinda Sharma (Archie Panjabi), and Peep Show’s Jeremy Usborne (Robert Webb) all were portrayed in romantic relationships on both sides of the binary. But these characters’ sexual orientations were seldom given a name.

In some cases, this felt quietly revolutionary. On post-apocalyptic CW drama The 100, for example, set a century and change in the future, protagonist Clarke Griffin (Eliza Taylor) is romantically involved with both men and women with no mention of labels. Because on the show’s nuclear fallout-ravaged earth, humankind has presumably gotten over that particular prejudice. On other series, however, not putting a name to the thing seems like a calculated choice. Take Orange Is the New Black, a show that has broken a lot of barriers but steadfastly avoids using the B-word to describe its clearly bisexual central character, Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling).

A few years ago, though, tectonic plates began to shift. On Pop TV sitcom Schitt’s Creek, David Rose (co-creator Dan Levy) explained his pansexuality to his friend via a now-famous metaphor: “I do drink red wine. But I also drink white wine. And I’ve been known to sample the occasional rosé. And a couple summers back, I tried a merlot that used to be a chardonnay.”

Bisexuality got its literal anthem on the CW’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend with “Gettin’ Bi,” a jubilant Huey Lewis & the News-style number sung by Darryl Whitefeather (Pete Gardner) about waking up to his latent bisexuality as a middle-aged man. “It’s not a phase, I’m not confused / Not indecisive, I don’t have the gotta-choose blues,” he croons, dancing in front of the bi pride flag. Darryl’s exuberant ode to his identity felt like someone levering a window open in a musty room — a celebration of something that, less than a decade before, TV was loathe to acknowledge.

For Hulu and the U.K.’s Channel 4, Desiree Akhavan (Appropriate Behavior, The Miseducation of Cameron Post) cowrote, directed, and starred in a series picking apart the subject, titled, aptly, The Bisexual. In it, Akhavan portrays Leila, a thirtysomething woman coming to a dawning awareness of her bisexuality after having identified as a lesbian for most of her life. The show navigates the tricky territory that bisexuals inhabit when they’re misunderstood — or sometimes outright rejected — by queer and straight communities alike. Akhavan, a bisexual Iranian-American woman, has said the idea for the show came to her after repeatedly hearing herself described as a “bisexual director.” She told Vanity Fair that “there was something about being called a bisexual publicly — even though it’s 100 percent true! — that felt totally humiliating and in bad taste, and I wanted to understand why.”

As Leila shuttles her way between sexual partners and fields tone-deaf comments from friends on both sides of the binary, The Bisexual offers no easy answers. But it also never flinches. “I’m pretty sure bisexuality is a myth. That it was created by ad executives to sell flavored vodka,” Leila remarks in the first episode, unconsciously echoing 30 Rock’s throwaway joke from a decade ago. Except this time, the stakes — and the bi person in question — are real.

The next generation — younger millennials and Gen Z kids in particular — tends to view sexualityas a spectrum rather than the distance between two poles. Akhavan neatly encompasses this evolution in an exchange between Leila and her male roommate’s twentysomething girlfriend, Francisca (Michèlle Guillot), who questions why Leila is so terrified to tell anyone that she’s started sleeping with men as well as women. When Leila tells her it’s complicated because it’s “a gay thing,” Francisca responds, “So? I’m queer.” “Everyone under 25 thinks they’re queer,” says Leila. “And you think they’re wrong?” Francisca counters. Leila considers this for a moment before answering, “No.”

Representation matters, and here’s why: Seeing who you are reflected in the entertainment you take in gives you not just validation for your identity, but also a potential road map for how you might navigate the world. For many years, bi- and pansexuals existed in a liminal place where we were often dismissed outright by not just the straight community — but the queer community as well. Onscreen representation is not just a matter of showing us something we’ve never seen before, but of making the invisible visible, of drawing a new picture over what was once erased.

Siltbreeze Records (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) has long been known to me as a purveyor of excellent New Zealand experimental. Mahogany Brain definitely have the experimental side down (the Siltbreeze RIYL includes Jandek and Sproton Layer.

There are a couple of top notch pop gems, including "Silkskin Dawn" which recalls the current sound of Francisca Griffin.

From what I can tell Mahogany Brain was the brainchild of French poet Michel Bulteau
