Class 1a pride headcanons let's gooooo 🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Going by seat order bc I'm autistic and it makes good sense

Also no mineta bc I don't know what to do with him

1. Aoyama 🌟🩶

Nonbinary and aspec. They aren't sure if they have a definitive gender one way or another but if anyone asks they just say "sparkling of course!! ✨️" as for sexuality/romantic attraction they are asexual and still questioning their romantic alignment. Honestly they would be happy going through life with maybe some qpps and not really thinking too much about it

2. Mina 👽🩷

Bi as hell babey!! Everyone is gorgeous in their own way!! Mina falls in love so fast and with so many people she's just like. Everyone deserves love and if she's gotta be the one to give it then so be it.

3. Tsu 🐸💚

Distinguished lesbian. Not afraid to tell the other 1a girls what makes them attractive. Tsu loves complimenting ppl and feels very proud of herself whenever the other girls get flustered bc she knows it means she's made their entire day.

4. Iida ⏩️💙

Bisexual and doesn't know what to do about it. Has many panicked conversations with Tensei over finding people attractive and feeling very weird about it bc they all live together and also puberty hormones hit him like a truck about a month or so after meeting everyone.

5. Ochako 🌌🩷

Pansexual. Very proud of it. Often seen very loudly validating her classmates identities and making sure that any potential homophobes and transphobes know that they will be punted into the stratosphere if they so much as breathe wrong in the general direction of anyone ochako cares about

6. Ojiro 🐒🤎

Token cishet. Great ally tho.

7. Kaminari ⚡️💛

Nonbinary and bisexual. Pronouns vary by the day. Often jokes that they've never made a decision in their entire life because of this. When they go pro there ends up being an official line of Chargebolt merch that has the slogan "gender? I don't even know'er!" On it.

8. Kirishima 💪❤️

Bisexual but kind of oblivious to it. Equates attraction to admiring someone for being "manly." It is discovered at some point during his years at UA that his personal definition of manly just encompasses all the traits that he finds attractive in a person plus other traits he admires but isn't necessarily into. This makes for a very confusing journey of self-discovery.

9. Kouda 🐇🤍

Grey ace. Questions his gender sometimes but is not overly concerned with what gender is the right one. More interested in solid friendships than dating too and so he ends up with qpps as his most meaningful relationships

10. Sato 🍫💛

Stereotypical cake loving aro ace. He doesn't care what everyone else is doing, he's busy perfecting his ganache.

11. Shouji 🤝🩵

On the ace spectrum but still figuring out exactly where. He has body image issues due to trauma and that kind of effects his views on attraction and romance.

12. Jirou 🎵💜

She thinks she's bi but she's still figuring it all out. Honestly anyone that can vibe to music with her could catch her eye, and she especially likes people that have slightly odd tastes such as listening to classical music or pre-quirk pop*

*(this is based on the headcanon that bnha takes place a couple hundred years into the future. Pre-quirk pop would just be the pop of the 80s up to about now in her view)

13. Sero 🩹🩶

(I couldn't find a tape emoji so bandaid it is)

Pansexual. He and ochako get along very well bc not only do they share an identity in this way, they also both feel like they're parenting their respective neurodivergent friend groups lol.

14. Tokoyami 🐦‍⬛🖤

Homoromantic ace. Sometimes does Bird Things to show his affection like bringing gifts and trinkets to ppl he is interested in or like nesting with their stuff. He finds these urges embarrassing but everyone else thinks it's cute and adores him for it.

15. Todoroki ❄️🔥❤️🤍

Gay gay homosexual gay. Has absolutely no idea how romance or crushes or teenage hormones or anything is supposed to work so he just does not realize that it isn't normal to daydream about cuddling his male classmates. Ochako gently explains the concept of a crush to him after he mentions something about this offhand and it blows his fucking mind.

16. Hagakure 🌫🤍

Bisexual and a very proud member of the Loving Women Club. Has a huuuuggeee crush on Mirko (which like, same girl).

17. Bakugou 💥🧡

Gay. Has a very specific taste in men but he won't tell anyone what it is because like three people on the entire planet fit the criteria (in his mind anyway) and he does not want anyone figuring out who he might be into because he sees it as weakness. Even after he goes to therapy he describes his type as "certain dumbasses who have issues and can't take a single fucking hint" so.

18. Deku 🐰💚

Bisexual disaster and everyone around him knows it. Has like 3 crises a day over finding random classmates attractive and overthinks everything there is to overthink in the situation. Luckily for him everyone knows what he's like and how his brain works and they find it endearing (even if certain classmates won't say it out loud)

19. Yaomomo ⚛️❤️

Lesbian. Momo recognizes that all the girls around her are so pretty and talented and it's a win for her bc they have such a culture of uplifting each other so she's constantly getting compliments from very pretty girls. She's living her best life as the president of the loving UA women club.

Bonus: shinso!!! 🐱💜

Shinso uses the Queer umbrella label. He has a preference for men but is generally attracted to any gender. When he transfers into class A the first two weeks are like a constant crisis bc he's like. Getting attention from all these attractive and talented people??? And they like him for who he is??? Paralyzing.

jojo sexuality headcanons lmao parts 1-3

ive scrounged the internet (well, lightly sifted through and then got bored) for a jojos bizarre adventure sexuality headcanons post that I agreed with completely and I literally could not find any so here’s my opinion that nobody asked for 😘

feel free to argue with me in the comments I’ll probably respond lol

first up Jonathan joestar- straight ally

I think most people can agree that Jonathan is probs the straightest joestar (that I know of, I’ve read up to part 7 but I’ve heard gappy is pretty fucking straight) but yeah he’s straight

He probs doesn’t even fully understand what being not straight is but if someone he knew came out to him he would be very supportive even if he didn’t know what it rlly meant

speedwagon-gay

idk if this is a hot take or not but this man did not have any sort of interest in women and was never married which if he was gay would make since back then bc being not straight wasn’t the norm lmao also there was that one scene in part 2 where Joseph was implying that speedwagon might’ve felt something more than friendship for jonathan so that’s why i think this

(I’m not gonna do dio bc his bisexuality was already confirmed by the one and only araki so that doesn’t rlly need an explanation 😭)

joseph joestar: bicurious (female leaning)

I was scratching my head tryna come up with a sexuality for this fucker and eventually settled for bicurious bc we all know that there was sum going on with him and caesar but also he had a wife whom he cheated on with another woman so I mean

caesar was def his awakening that he might like men but sadly the rocks smashed caesar before Joseph could 😔 also Joseph wears far too many crop tops to be straight like let’s be honest

(bicurious applies to oldseph aswell)

Caesar zeppeli: homoromantic bisexual

dis bro would never date women. but eat them out? Hell fucking yeah

he like dick too tho bc ik damn well if this hoe didn’t get crushed by a rock he would not have a wife like bro what

The words caesar and wife have no business being in the same sentence. Yk this hoe would have a hella 100% Italian husband named like Giuseppe or some shit who would only eat spaghetti for dinner literally every night

this poor dude just wanted some joestarussy but we all know that rocks are homophobic 😔

lisa lisa-lesbian

she’s lesbian bc I said so she married a dude bc she was bored ok I literally do not care what anybody says

look at her

she’s a lesbian

for all the pillarmen it literally depends on the day, like one day they have big buff boyfriends and then a good nights sleep will make them like homophobic superstraights

jotaro kujo: gay demiromantic asexual (sex indifferent)

first off jotaro really does not strike me as the type to think about romantic relationships all that much and definitely does not consider anybody for a romantic relationship upon first meeting them. he needs time to feel something more than platonic. I’ve seen people say that he’s aroace which I do think could be possible but I personally think that he does want love and care wether it be platonic or romantic

asexual just makes sense for him I’m pretty sure the majority of the fandom (not including the homophobic pissbabies) can agree with this. he doesn’t understand how people can just look at someone and feel attracted to them, bro probably discovered asexuality when he saw a meme that he related to and saw the asexual hashtags in the caption bro

also he’s just gay. like there is no way that he likes anybody except men. if this bro wanted a gf he’s got plenty of hoes to choose from. But he didn’t. Also he treats his hoes like shit lmao

and don’t even THINK about bringing up his wife (whom didn’t even have a name cause she was so unimportant, for convenience I’m gonna call her samantha smith) bc you and me both know damn well that samantha smith only exists to continue the bloodline. we also all know damn well that araki would make plot points that contradict against characters to continue the story. people who think jotaro is straight need to get real

noriaki kakyoin: panromantic aceflux

listen I was going to say he was gay but I changed my mind because I really can’t imagine him caring about gender all that much. he does look like a twink tho I can’t deny it

Also araki did actually confirm that kakyoin likes both men and women (he said something along the lines of “I could see kakyoin falling in love with a man” idk I’m too lazy to look up exact wording) but I mean you can take one look at this dude and be able to tell that he is both not straight and has pronouns. I mean look at him

also I’m tired of people characterizing him as the UwU pissbaby fucktoy so he’s aceflux 1. Because I said so and 2. Because it just makes sense idk how to explain it

(ps if I see a kakyoin milf hunter joke in the comments to argue against kakyoin being not straight im going to fire a missile at your house bc telling the same joke for like 15 years isn’t funny luv xx)

polnareff: pansexual

dis bro is desperate. he can’t be affording to care about gender man he’s tried to rizz up like 15 genders and failed at all of them you think he can actually afford to be anything but pansexual? also he fr fr just gives off stereotypical chaotic pansexual vibes

jokes aside tho he def don’t care. aslong as you give him validation you’ve already won him over

muhammad avdol: gay demiromantic demisexual

he don’t really think about it all that much he only realizes if he likes somebody after he’s super close to them definitely. He do have a touch of the gay tho

if you disagree with any of these I would love to hear your headcanons in the comments!/gen

pls no like super heated arguments tho lol

also I might do parts 4-7 in another post cause this was fun asf

The Quarry headcanons

one big mix about everyone and everything

Spoiler alert, of course.

English is not my first language, so I apologize for all mistakes.

- Ryan only shares headphones with people he trusts. Ryan suggests you listen to music/podcasts from his headphones? he loves you.

- On the first day of camp, Dylan created a playlist for Ryan that he just loved and listened to whenever he could.

- I wondered at first what an Australian was doing at a summer camp in New York. So I looked up the origin of the name Furcillo. I found out that this surname is popular in the usa among people of Italian origin. My hc therefore is: Nick has Italian roots but was born and raised in Australia. As for his presence in America, I added that his sister is living there and he always wanted to live with her.

- As for Nick's siblings: Nick is the youngest of 7 siblings. I found out that his actor has 6 siblings and in my opinion, that fits Nick's character so well.

- Nick has sight defect and usually wears harry potter like glasses but he switched them to lenses for the summer camp because he was scared that people would make fun of him. (that hc is also bc of Nick's actor)

- Nick has a lazy eye

- I have some hcs about the origin of the characters also here they are:

- Nick - Italy

- Abigail - Sweden

- Emma - USA

- Jacob - USA

- Kaitlyn - China/Thailand

- Dylan - Czech Republic

- Ryan - Germany

- Laura - USA

- Max - USA

- Dylan was obsessed with aliens as a child. (He still is)

- Ryan loves podcasts. he is obsessed with them and listens to them 24/7.

- Dylan was a quiet, shy kid at school.

- Dylan loves cartoons and comics.

- Dylan is not only interested in quantum physics but also in paranormal things.

- Dylan wanted to be a ghost hunter as a child. The reason was the movie Ghost Busters, which he loves. His phone ringtone is theme song from this film.

- Dylan is a fan of The Walking Dead. Hence, the first thing that came to his mind after seeing werewolf's bite on Nick/after the werewolf bit his hand was to cut off the limb.

- Ryan is biromantic asexual.

- Dylan uses he/they.

- Dylan is demisexual biromantic or demisexual homoromantic (I don't know what a canon sexuality of dylan is so I'll leave two options)

- Laura is bisexual.

- Emma is bisexual with preference in women.

- Nick is the type of talented kid who has been praised by every adult and shown as an example, but doesn't know what he really likes.

- There is one thing, however, that Nick likes more than the others. It is cooking and baking.

- When Nick was a child he wanted to be a baker. But he didn't tell anyone about it because he was afraid that someone would make fun of him for it.

- Emma has wanted to be popular since childhood. Before being an influencer, she wrote fan fiction. This is how she discovered her love for writing.

- Emma was not popular as a child. she always stood aside. She decided to change that when she went to high school.

- Abigail is from a family of artists.

- Abigail loves reading.

- Abi also loves to write letters.

- Abigail also loves calligraphy. She has always been the type of person you take notes from. Then she got into it more and now it has become one of her hobbies.

- Laura has wanted to be a doctor since she was a child. However, with time she realised that she loved animals and wanted to be a vet.

- Jacob has a terrible sens od direction.

- I wanted to somehow explain to myself the fact that Kaitlyn was so good with guns, so a hc was born in my head that there was some kind of woodsman in her family and she was very interested in that as a child.

- Abigail designed her tattoo herself.

- Nick loves the survival programs.

- Kaitlyn is interested in photography.

- Jacob is a very emotional and sensitive person.

- Kaitlyn and Jacob were very popular at school. However, Kaitlyn was much more popular and everyone liked her.

- Kaitlyn is the type of person that both teachers and students love.

- Kaitlyn's best friend since childhood was Jacob. No one has ever become more liked by her than this idiot.

- I can bet that Jacob and Kaitlyn's friendship started when she saved him from some older kids. Maybe someone took his toy or something and he started crying and Kaitlyn wanted to comfort him.

- Most of Nick's siblings are sisters (maybe even all of them. I like to think Nicky has 6 sisters I don't know why lmao)

- Jacob is the class clown type and everyone takes advantage of the fact that he does before he thinks. Kaitlyn acts as his voice of reason.

Queering the Bond characters, part 5: the Craig guys

Last but not least, the people you surely were waiting for, hehe. I guess that none of these takes are particularly original, but they were fun nonetheless. A nice conclusion to this series for sure!

-/-

Le Chiffre: aromantic bisexual The Xenia of the Craig era? Doesn’t sound far-fetched to me. Especially since they share a director and each of them has one of the two kinkiest scenes in the entire franchise… Xenia/the Admiral and Le Chiffre/Bond (yes, I’m putting a slash here).

Craig!Felix Leiter: biromantic bisexual I’ll go with that since he has a family—LTK reference I guess—but also clearly is interested in Bond in the early Craig era.

Eve Moneypenny: panromantic pansexual She just loves everyone. Bond, Nomi, her unnamed boyfriend, everyone... Gender? Who cares about bloody gender?

Q: homoromantic demisexual I mean, is an explanation even needed? Okay, maybe for demi. Well, that's because he looks so terribly shy to me in that Skyfall scene (you know, pulling or not pulling triggers). I just can’t see him bedding anybody he doesn’t know. And yes, he’s in love with Bond—rebuilding the Aston Martin DB5 just for him is material proof of it, just as doing all sorts of very risky things for him. Sadly, Craig!Bond is blind which surely is why poor Q looks so depressed in NTTD.

Raoul Silva/Tiago Rodriguez: homoromantic bisexual Unlike his model (*cough* Alec *cough*), he’s perfectly happy the way he is. Also he clearly cares more for Bond than for Séverine, and of course he sees M as a mother (nothing more, he's repulsive enough as is 😆).

Lyutsifer Safin: heteroromantic asexual That’s what his relationship with Madeleine sounds to me, that is.

Nomi: homoromantic homosexual I could see her happily matched with Eve, ngl.

Paloma: panromantic asexual She is so unphased/clueless seeing Bond change clothes it’s great. That being said, I think she could be the kind of person who loves everyone/has crushes on people she clicks with.

Previous anon here, I think I worded things poorly, my apologies there, but what I meant to say is when people previously asked about the sexualities of Allura and Mollymauk he specifically said they were bisexual, and if the same were true for Essek he would’ve said he was bi as well. Him saying just MLM rather than bisexual or pansexual like he has for previous character, the wiki saying he’s just attracted to men, and how he’s portrayed in canon leads me to think he meant homoromantic. Sorry for taking up your time, don’t feel obliged to respond to this or anything, things like headcannoning a character something other than how they’ve been portrayed in canon, especially when said character is uncomfortable with anyone outside of their romantic preferences finding them attractive, or shipping them without respect to their sexuality is a huge squick of mine and this comes a bit too close to that for me haha

hey, thanks for the clarification, sorry if I came off as rude, Im just a bit stressed at the whole Essek situation lol

I really do not know how Essek is portrayed in cannon, as I don't watch the show, however I just think that if alll is said about him is he is MLM, that doesn't disprove he is bisexual. It could mean "He isn't sure what his sexuality if hes just sure he likes men."

It could be intentionally vague for some reason I dont know

If he is being so specific about the sexualities though i don't know why he wouldn't just say he was Gay if he is strictly homoromantic, y know? / light hearted

Also him getting uncomfortable with people flirting with him, he is demiromantic/ demisexual right? i dont know how close the poeople he ws flirting witha re too him, but that could also be a reason for it aside from romantic interest. right?

I promise in no means do I want to discredit cannon, if he was cannonly Gay, or pan, or anything other then Bi, I would not leave him in the competition. i do not want to erase any sexualities here. However, saying he is MLM could very much mean he is Bisexual, I really don't know.

do you think if I dm Matt Mcercer about this on twitter he would answer me/hj

Also, Im stilll hoping for a phoniex sweep lol

`Hey! I'm gonna do a few Homestuck gender + sexuality headcanon posts - starting with John Egbert! Some text about it all below the cut. For the most part, my hcs are super flexible so you'll see plenty of rambling about that in future, even if it contrasts my other work/RPs and such.

He/him.

So, you've probably noticed that John is trans and not June - using he/him, in my headcanon. This is because I honestly prefer transmasc John to transfem June in my own headcanon.

It's mostly because for me, I just see John more as a guy than any other gender. I've considered a lot of gender headcanons for him, but this is the only one I really vibe with - and honestly, all the discourse about June has thoroughly turned me off to headcanoning her as a whole. I'll make an exception for junedave/junedove/junedavekat/junedovekat content because that feels like a win though.

Also, I admit I prefer the view of Dad Egbert as being overly, smotheringly supportive of a son than unknowingly stifling a daughter. I also don't think John's friends would even know he's trans - I think he'd have the stereotypical trans experience of knowing since he was little, being dysphoric, and seeking some form of physical transition. I generally subscribe to the headcanon that dream selves can physically transition people, and I think that happened to him.

Regarding his sexuality...

I sometimes headcanon him as demiromantic/demisexual or asexual & biromantic/homoromantic, but I'm not very certain on that and wanted to keep this somewhat simple, so I left all that out - though, I do think those are excellent headcanons. If there's interest, I'll make more edits with those ideas though :)

Personally, I like readings of John as bi or gay, and I don't have a super strong preference either way. In terms of my Alternian Orientations Headcanons (https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/gemalawashomestuck/688459979209998336?source=share), I tend to headcanon John as Quadranted ('standard' troll orientation) or Gray-Pale-Null (meaning he feels attraction in the pale quadrant very rarely, if at all). Hilariously, he's one of the relatively few characters I think would be considered somewhat 'standard' by troll norms. Unlike most humans, I think he would have a strong preference for quadranted relationships.

I'm very partial to bi/mspec readings of almost any character for reasons of personal bias, honestly, and I think bi John is fun...partly for "I'm not a homosexual, I'm a bisexual!" reasons. And I do like John's possible relationships with women - Johnvris and Johnrezi are the obvious ones (I'm not huge on Johnroxy) for me to point at but I admit Arajohn and Johnnep also have notable potential, if weird potential.

That said, I think gay John makes as much or more sense re: canon, with a few of the things John says about his feelings of attraction and his comical vehemence about not being gay. Like, iirc he even mentions not having been attracted to women before...while that could be read any number of ways, I think a gay John reading is particularly fun when combined with the earlier mentioned vehemence. Comedy moments, really. I also think that his possible romantic entanglements with girls translate really well into close platonic friendships (note: I could say the same about his relationships with guys, but I personally like mlm ships more for him).

In mlm ships for John, I'm a cherrypepsicola truther 'til the end as i tend to headcanon every character as dubiously polyamorous at least, but I'm also a johndavesprite and Dirkjohn/johnhal lover (I think John/any splinter is suuuper Of Interest). I think Erijohn and johntav hold some serious comedy potential as well though, it's fun! I'll always recommend shipping at least one crackship just because it's funny and I have a LOT of them.

Overall...my headcanons for John are pretty flexible and just for fun, for the most part :) there's a lot of room to play around.

#homestuck #gem rants #gemposting #john egbert #headcanons #pride #these are free to use btw!#i appreciate credit but it is optional these take like 30 seconds #free to use #there's no significance to the different sprites theyre just both cute #long post #under a cut #pride month #bisexual #gay #transgender #transmasc

(also when he’s around Monty) Least at ease when: Sober, or when talking about his feelings Biggest achievement: He supposes being in mensa is a pretty big deal, getting into college was a pretty big deal as well. He doesn’t feel terribly strongly about either of those things, except for how they impact his parents to be honest. Biggest regret: Taking that stupid IQ test lmao

FACTS.

Read about his family here! And where he grew up!

He was voted Home Coming King this year 😌

When I say Ollie is a genius I mean that literally. He has an IQ score of 169 which is higher than people like Stephen Hawking and Einstein. He’s been a member of Mensa since he was a freshman in High School, though he doesn’t really like to talk about it too much.

He graduated High School early, and started college when he was only 17.

The first time he tried drugs he was 13, and he hasn’t been sober since he was about 14 years old. He’s not looking to get sober either, lest he have to deal with all the trauma and strain he’s put himself through (emotionally, mentally, and physically) because of his drug habits.

He is extremely good at ... people. He’s just good at getting others to like him. He is so very charismatic and disarming, and tends to be more laid back and easy going. So, he is pretty well liked. But he can be a lot to handle, loves to make things awkward, and comes across as erratic at times so probably not everyone likes him.

He sells test answers and essays to people, regularly. Some of it he does himself (what he’s able to do), some of it he hacks the answers to and such. He has both regular customers, and some who just need some help, so don’t feel afraid to ask. It can get pretty expensive depending on what you’re looking for though. A man’s gotta make a living.

He also sells drugs, but he sells drugs for Monty. So if you buy from Ollie you’re buying from Monty. Just consider him to be working the register, not running anything. He’ll just give his own drugs away if he likes you though. It’s a love language.

Ollie isn’t completely sure what he wants to do after finishing his undergrad studies. He’s planning on continuing into getting his Masters in Computer Science, but where that happens is still in the air really. He might stay at Ogden he might go to a STEM focused school, he might just burn out and not do that at all. Who knows.

What i liked about the series Maestro aside from the cinematography, music, acting, story etc, is the way it handles the very core things of greek society that other greek series dont even bother to develop. For example, the plot of domestic abuse as shocking as it is, on a greek series is not something new. Yet alike the others, Maestro analyses it more, like why this character suffers from it, what's their backstory, what will happen about it. It doesn't shy away from it but it's also portrayed realistically.

For example, greek series Sasmos and Gi tis Elias, both have arcs that tackle assault yet it's something minor to the story (when it shouldn't). The victims will say it to their love interest or friends for help the story will have a heat argument, some police chase for action and that's it. Its never mentioned again or how it affected the victim :/

[Numerous spoilers ahead]

I love the way the topic is tackled in Maestro. Not just the accuracy and realism but also the educative nature of it. For example, it might be hinted that Antonis and Spyros might not have the exact same orientation. Antonis explains that he can sleep with a woman but not fall in love with her, which could indicate he’s homoromantic with some sexual flexibility. He looks somewhat excited when his friend/girlfriend says he’s a good lover and once he even tries genuinely to initiate it with her. As we saw in the last episode, Spyros struggles on the other hand. Imagine certain middle-aged macho Greek viewers trying to figure out what a homoromantic or a homoflexible person or a homoromantic bisexual is, for example 😂 This is some nuance missing from Greek TV.

Then I like that it’s made clear that the fathers are both disapproving but in different ways. I believe that Phanes is nowdays the most common homophobic example: he expresses concern about Antonis’ happiness (which btw is kinda valid if Antonis stays in the small island community) but as we also can tell from his personality, Phanes probably worries above all that this can affect his political career and public image, therefore himself and people’s opinion of him. Also, he says one of the most realistic phrases ever “Okay I said I accept it but do you expect me to celebrate or congratulate you or something? How comfortable exactly do you want me to be?”.

Haralambos on the other hand…. I am not gonna repeat what his main concern was… but it is unfortunately realistic for misogynistic and violent men. Haralambos is extreme but you hear extreme things in the news and it is common in remote, rural, conservative areas with poor education.

I know exactly what scene you are talking about. I was impressed (and blood-chilled) too. The monster creates a monster. It also makes you wonder though; what Haralambos’ youth and childhood might have been like for him to have become that beast… Because Spyros is a good boy, yet slowly…slowly… Haralambos’ poison works.

And of course the fear of seeking help, of going to the police. Maria has been afraid for ages but when she sees Yanna she realises she might have to fight for someone else instead of herself before it’s too late and hopefully this will give her the huge inner strength she needs… Another very realistic thing and something we always ask when seeing something relevant in the news “why nobody spoke up” is that EVERYONE in the island knows about it. Even the whole class that day knew what “happened to Mrs Maria”. Which means it’s the gossip of the whole town and it saddens everyone yet nobody tries to help or nobody wants to deal with Haralambos later.

All these have been portrayed IMO so raw, so realistically, sometimes it almost feels like a documentary to me. It could as well be very triggering to people with similar traumas but it’s an ugly truth that has never been so openly presented on tv.

In order to alleviate the atmosphere though… can we also talk about childhood friends to lovers trope? 😭

☀ - How confident is your muse in their queer identity?

@trepidaticn

So far, it seems that most of my muses are very confident in their identities. Many of them are bisexual or pansexual, a few of them are nonbinary, and I have at least one trans muse. Some of them were lucky enough to have a supportive family as they came to their own, while others had to go through a lifetime of struggle before they could be comfortable with who they are, while some of my non-human muses are above our human concepts of gender and sexuality.

However, I do have a few muses who are still figuring themselves out.

I have Kenan who, after a lifetime of horrific abuse, is now so socially cut off from people that he's under the assumption that he might be asexual-aromantic, but at the same time he's just not sure. He might be more homoromantic leaning, and he deserves a chance to explore that at his pace and come to his own conclusions.

I also have Tiegan who's never dated, but he's had brief sexual flings with people of any identity without true attachment to any of them. He mainly uses those flings as periods of self harm than true pleasure, as he just doesn't trust anyone to be emotionally vulnerable.

And then there's poor Deirdre, who claims she's straight and has only dated boys, but she has some budding attraction towards women and she's not handling it very well, due to her family having a very strict view of "traditional values".

I would truly adore being able to explore these paths with these characters, and see how their lives can go with finding and accepting themselves!

MUSE LIST - ROYALTY

Andrealphus - Homosexual Homoromantic, Monogamous Cis Male - 33+ - FC: Official Art

Name: Andrealphus

Nicknames: Andrea, Andy (Stella Exclusive that he HATES), Lixue (Family Pet Name, means Pretty Snow)

Faceclaim: Official Art

Original Universe: Mainverse

Age: 33

Birthday: December 22nd (Capricorn)

Height: 10"

Gender: Cis Male

Pronouns: He/They

Sexuality: Homosexual Homoromantic, Monogamous

Species: Peacock Demon

Feather Color: White, periwinkle, and turquoise

Eye Color: Solid Aquamarine

Occupation: Marquis of Hell

Headcanon Masterlist

Andrealphus has always been a manipulative, disciplined, know-it-all, even from a young age. If he learned something that was common knowledge, well, the world was a better place for him having learned it at all. If he spent his time doing something, then it was never wasted, though he bemoans the imperfections that becoming exceedingly good at something must take.

In his everyday life, he seeks to be poised, graceful, and commanding. He is an avid reader, a patron of the arts, and a novice scriptwriter. One day he would like to debut his plays to the world, but he fears he isn't where he wants to be with his skillset, yet.

Andrea loves his little sister dearly, but he does think that she is rather short-sighted and could use some self-reflection. His disdain for Stolas is something he has never hidden, seeing him as feeble and meek from the moment he had been introduced to Paimon's son. Much as their marriage was a good thing for the family name, he feels as though Paimon had much better sons to offer his poor sister.

He is in a similar position as Stolas, gay in an arranged marriage, though he and his Ariadne have the best possible outcome. They are close friends, and have an amicable agreement to keep their private lives private. In public spaces they act as though they are happily married and very much in love, though behind close doors it's very different. Andrea chooses to have more of a solitary life, whereas his wife has a small group of lovers. He doesn't hold this against her, though their son is not particularly fond of them.

Leviathan "Athan" - Bisexual Biromantic, Ambigamous Cis Male - 6,000+ - FC: My Art/Ronnie Radke

Name: Leviathan

Nicknames: Athan

Faceclaim: My Art/Ronnie Radke

Original Universe: Mainverse

Age: 6,000+

Birthday: October 25th (Scorpio)

Height: 11'5"; 25'11" Full Body Length

Gender: Cis Male

Pronouns: He/Him

Sexuality: Bisexual Biromantic, Ambigamous

Species: Water Dragon Demon

Skin Color: Dark slate blue, cobalt, pale blue

Eye Color: Cyan, Glows

Occupation: King of Envy Ring

Headcanon Masterlist

Leviathan was once a prince among the Seraphim, and had always favored Lucifer as a close friend and confidant. He has always been close with Beelzebub, as well, and found himself drawn to Asmodeus. In the weeks before the fall, he began to grow jealous of those spending time with Asmodeus, and tried his best to hog the other Seraphim prince's time and attention. It didn't seem to work, as Asmodeus spent more time with Mammon than him, and it started a bitter rivalry between them. They tend to always try to outdo the other. If Mammon does something, Leviathan makes an attempt to do the same thing but better.

He is the largest of the Sins at all times, because he values being better than others. He maintains a steady seventeen feet tall unless he has to shrink in order to get into rooms. He despises doing this, however, and will do anything in order to get out of it, including walking on all fours. His tail is the longest part of him, and he keeps it folded to his back.

His beard of feeding arms is capable of dissolving anything in minutes, and he can absorb nutrients through it. The long tentacles he has have hooks and twisted barbs in the pads of them, and can also dissolve things if he permits it with a type of acid. He can feed through these, as well.

In his extravagant house, he keeps a second refrigerator filled with food and drink that Asmodeus likes in hopes that he will come visit. He makes Ozzie's favorites when he comes over. He is also intensely formal at all times and never uses nicknames for others. He is fond of Lilith and remains a good friend to Lucifer, though he enjoys bitching with him about things the most. He does not often fawn over Lucifer, though he will be the first to defend him at all times for any reason. He maintains that Lucifer was correct and that they were punished for no good reason.

He earned his intense scarring from overstepping his boundaries with Asmodeus by attacking Fizzarolli. Asmodeus is not fond of him as more than a fairweather friend, though he knows he can count on Leviathan to back him up in any situation.

Baetyl - Bisexual Homoromantic, Ambigamous Cis Male - 36+ - FC: Official Art/Valery Kovtun

Name: Baetyl

Nicknames: Bae, Tylly, Dove (Andrealphus Exclusive)

Faceclaim: Official Art/Valery Kovtun

Original Universe: Mainverse

Age: 36

Birthday: November 6th (Scorpio)

Height: 8"

Gender: Cis Male

Pronouns: He/They

Sexuality: Bisexual Homoromantic, Ambigamous

Species: Cockatoo Demon

Feather Color: White

Eye Color: Solid Yellow, Glows

Occupation: Duke of Hell

Headcanon Masterlist

Baetyl lives for drama, loves to be the cause of it, and watches things play out. He is cruel and has been accused of being heartless on more occasions than he can count. Even when he's happy with and cares about someone, he is still at least somewhat mean to them.

He has a thing for Stolas, though he has yet to act on it. Not necessarily because he is Stella's ex-husband but because he doesn't think Stolas would reciprocate and he doesn't want to be rejected. He is also interested in Andrealphus, though has not been presented with the option as of yet.

While he is not exactly unintelligent, he tends to say and do things in the moment that do not reflect this. His impulsiveness has led to rough patches in his life that he tries to sweep under the rug, but most major tabloids have gotten a hold of. He pretends that they never happened even when presented with the clear evidence that they had.

Beelzebub - Omnisexual Omniromantic, Ambigamous Genderfluid Altersex - 6,000+ - FC: Official Art

Name: Beelzebub

Nicknames: Bee, Beelza, Eliza (Human Disguise)

Faceclaim: Official Art

Original Universe: Mainverse

Age: 6,000

Birthday: March 29th (Aries)

Height: Beelzebub comes in three sizes: 5'7", 10'11", 29'3"

Gender: Genderfluid Altersex

Pronouns: She/They

Sexuality: Omnisexual Omniromantic, Ambigamous

Species: Jackal/Serval/Bee Demon

Hair Color: Cotton Candy Blue and Pink

Honey Color: Changes at will

Eye Color: Yellow sclera with pink irises

Occupation: Owner of several clubs, restauranteur, chef, party girl

Headcanon Masterlist

Beelze has been a party girl for a long time, though her idea of parties has changed over the centuries. She keeps up with the times and is always abreast of the latest trends on Earth as well as in Hell. She is very good at getting the energy going, and she loves to help fuel the fires of those around her.

She is very close with Ozzie, and they often party together. Valentino is someone she met through him, and they became close very quickly. He has a crush on her that he hasn't acted on, but they do have sex. She is in an open relationship with Vortex (NOTE: Until I have a Vortex this will be her default).

During the fall, Beelze was one of the first to be cast out with Lucifer. She considers him a very close friend and would do anything for him. Bee has always been very compassionate and she really cares for people even though she is royalty and doesn't have to mingle with her people. She honestly enjoys it, feeding on the energy her parties create. When she's bored or stressed she will try and make new recipes for different foods. She likes to cook as much as she likes to magic up food.

A collaborative effort between myself and my friend Seraph has gotten me to write her as a serval-jackal-bee hybrid.

Lilith Magne - Bisexual Biromantic, Ambigamous Cis Female - 6,000+ - FC: Official Art/Brianne Howey

Name: Lilith

Nicknames: Lili, Lil

Faceclaim: Official Art/Brianne Howey

Original Universe: Mainverse

Age: 6,000 Years; Appears Late 20’s

Birthday: February 14th (Aquarius)

Height: 5'9"

Gender: Cis Female

Pronouns: She/They

Sexuality: Bisexual Bimantic, Ambigamous

Hair Color: Blonde with platinum highlights

Eye Color: Soft salmon sclera, while-yellow eyes. Has decent night vision

Occupation: Queen of Hell, Singer, Charitable Patron of the Happy Hotel

Headcanon Masterlist

When Hell was first created during the Fall, Lilith was immediately placed there with the fallen angels. She met Lucifer for a second time, and they continued to hit it off. They were married shortly after, and she became his queen.

She takes her duties as queen as an artist very seriously and does not let things get in the way of them. She is very close with Asmodeus and is proud to be a friend of his.

While she is unsure of Charlie’s plan to seek redemption for a Sinner, she wants to support her daughter as best she can. She has made several charitable donations to the Hotel’s finances, and has been trying to help with Lucifer’s disdain towards the project.

Mammon - Omnisexual Omniromantic, Ambigamous Cis Male - 6,000+ - FC: My Art/Jimmy Urine

Name: Mammon

Human Disguise Name: Mason "M" Peters

Nicknames: Mams, Money Tick (Ozzie Exclusive)

Faceclaim: My Art/Jimmy Urine

Original Universe: Mainverse

Age: 6,000+

Birthday: July 7th (Cancer)

Height: Mammon comes in three sizes: 9'8", 18'11", and 32'3"

Gender: Cis Male

Pronouns: He/They/It

Sexuality: Omnisexual Omniromantic, Ambigamous

Hair Color: N/A

Eye Color: Black sclera with gold sclera, dollar sign pupils

Occupation: Owner of Loo Loo Land, Rehab Clinics, Cereal Company, Candy Company, Smoke Shops, Thrift Shops, and Fast Food Chains

Headcanon Masterlist

Mammon was not always as he is. At one point, he was an angel with the other Sins and Lucifer, though his rank was not very high. He was close with Asmodeus, however, and their closeness and agreement with Lucifer's gripes about humans set off something catastrophic for them.

He is whiny, loud, and ready to pitch a fit at any time. There is no shame if he thinks he will get what he wants, and he always wants everything. Ozzie jokes that he is the Money Tick because he needs to be burned off of his wallet. He is still very close to Ozzie, though Ozzie is often frustrated with him.

In business, he is ruthless and will cut costs to make more profit without thought. He hates to be cheated out of money and is likely to kill if he thinks he's going to be skimped on. However, he is mostly nonconfrontational, save for with Leviathan.

Asmodeus "Ozzie" - Pansexual Grey Aromantic, Polygamous Altersex (Male Pronouns) - 6,000+ - FC: Official Art/Clement Becq

Name: Asmodeus

Nicknames: Ozzie

Faceclaim: Official Art/Clement Becq

Original Universe: Mainverse

Age: 6,000

Birthday: November 25th (Sagittarius)

Height: 14'0"

Gender: Altersex (Has fully functioning male and female genitalia)

Pronouns: He/They

Sexuality: Pansexual Grey Aromantic, Polygamous

Hair Color: Cyan

Other Head Color: Dark blue fade

Feather Colors: Red, white, black

Eye Color: Solid Chartreux

Occupation: King of Lust, Club Owner, Sex Shop Owner, Toy Factory Owner, Stripper, Prostitute

Headcanon Masterlist

Ozzie was once a prince of the Seraphim, though when Lucifer began to question God, he followed suit. During the fall, he lost his wings, which has been an adjustment for him. While he didn't have great movement with his arms before and it's greatly improved since then, he still gets phantom pains and misses them.

He loves Fizzarolli to pieces, even before he realizes that he loves him. He saved him from Mammon and immediately took him home to heal and get better. He offered him a job half out of desperation to fill the emcee role, but also because Fizzarolli needed something to do.

He is ultimately a pacifist but is close with Paimon who very much is not. He threatens Paimon's involvement especially with Mammon, and will go out of his way to be a pain in someone's side if they upset him. He is, on the whole, very chill and easy to be around, however.

He has a contract with Valentino that requires monthly visits to his penthouse. Ozzie and Val rarely see eye-to-eye on some issues but they are mostly on good terms. Asmodeus is unaware that he could be, and is, addicted to Val's venom.

Paimon - Bisexual Biromantic, Polygamous Cis Male - 5,500+ - FC: Official Art

Name: Paimon

Nicknames: Pai, Mony (@ritzy-cervidae Exclusive)

Faceclaim: Official Art

Original Universe: Mainverse

Age: 5,500, appears late 30's

Birthday: August 5th (Leo)

Height: 9'10"

Gender: Cis Male

Sexuality: Bisexual Biroromantic, Polygamous

Feather Color: Dark brown

Face Color: White with red swirls

Eye Color: Black slcera with glowing red irises

Occupation: King Of Hell

Headcanon Masterlist

Paimon is a cruel man with a constant need to be entertained. When he is not entertained he tends to make some kind of entertainment by causing fights. He loves violence and lives for the carnage of the slave fighting pits that he has.

He is close with Ozzie, and while visiting one day, he was impressed by Barbie's fearlessness and took her on a date as soon as she said 'yes'. He loves her, though he's hesitant to admit to it.

He is unkind to most of his children, and especially Stolas, because he doesn't see why he's so hung up on things. He does not know who Octavia is, because he has so many grandkids that he doesn't keep track.

pfff lmao Alan Davies is by far not the weirdest crush i’ve ever had, when i said i have horrible taste in men i meant it (a moment of silence for our amygdalas @sunnynd lol)

first of all its repeat offence, i’ve already had a crush on him when i just started watching QI and that was like ten years ago, i was like 13-14 years old, so, predictable

also i already knew i will not have an easy life when i was like 11 and my favorite show was “Lost”, which had a ton of interesting wonderful attractive characters but who did i have a crush on??

this lying manipulative bastard whose main purpose as a character was to get beaten up approximately every five minutes he was on screen. also the actor was probably around 50 years old when he started playing Ben Linus so yeah

i am doomed :)

#also when i was like 9-10 and harry potter was super popular #around the time order of the phoenix movie came out #all the girls my age were swooning over harry or draco or whatever #and the only character i liked Like That was Remus Lupin #*also* my third year of undergrad i had a teacher in human physiology class #who was retired from research and he was just teaching on campus #sixty-something years old #smoked like half a pack of cigs a day at that point #and i legit could not concentrate on the class cause i was thinking about how hot he is #when we were doing experiments on blood types i volunteered *the second* he asked for people #so that i could sit near him and have my finger pricked for blood by him #am i sharing too much lmao #yeah probably #oh well who cares it's tumblr #idk i've only had crushes on not men like 4 or 5 times in my life #contrasted to like. *dozens* of different men #so just for rounding up i probably should be saying that i am bisexual homoromantic..........#*also*... Alan Davies is very hot you can't change my mind #he knows :)#JC has shots of his naked ass in multiple episodes #there's this QI bit as well #i have it wait i'll post #delete later #maybe #idk #haven't decided yet

I gathered you read the chapter... how are we feeling, any thoughts you might want to share?

There I was, writing on my journal after a decent day at work when this fucking bomb exploded quite literally on my lap. But fear not I am here and we shall discuss until we can make fucking sense of it. Should I even warn you of the length of this post, or are we all on the same “Luisa can’t synthesise for shit” boat now?

I. Azriel

I will start by saying that this does not make me hate Azriel or stop caring for him and wanting what’s best for him. I still do very much love him. This however does not mean I applaud or get behind how he expressed himself during this specially chapter. For me it was quite disturbing to see how he saw Elain merely as a sexual partner and thought that that translated into love. If he had made the distinction between being physically attracted to her and being in love with her, then I don’t think we would all be feeling like we are. Because it is fair to be sexually attracted to someone but not necessarily in love with them.

From what we saw I think we can gather that Azriel knows Mor is not into him and in his grief from all those years being in love he wants something immediate and there. On top of that he sees his brothers settled and feels like he is owed from the cauldron, so of course he starts seeing Elain as the perfect “solution” to his pain. Now, of course Elain (and no one for that matter) should be seen a solution to anything really. Much less he should jump on that boat and already think of her as his. Az, my sweet, possessiveness is not love.

When I first read the chapter something stood out for me, he said he’s envious of his brothers and the emotional stability they both have, the fact that they were both chosen by the ones they love. We know Az loved Mor with all his heart and although she loves him too, it was not corresponded on the same energy since she is well bisexual homoromantic. He, so far, does not feel chosen in that same sense, which only feeds his insecurity of being unworthy.

In his envy he oversimplified things, he saw what both Rhys and Cassian now have and did the simple most stupid math ever: he went Rhys+Feyre = love, Cass+Nesta = love... hummm then If I’m single and Elain is single then it must mean Az+ Elain = love. (Sugar I love you but that is dumb as fuck). This has the same energy of when you are in high school and you let your friends convince you that you are actually into someone when you are really not, but then you buy into it and start believing in it yourself. In this case he was the one who created that push and convinced himself that it was the right thing.

I think so far we can gather a few things of the place Az is at right now: he is feeling extremely lonely, extremely envious and extremely sad. I do not think this excuses his behavior at fucking all, but at least we know where he is coming from. He is clearly mistaking sexual attraction and possessiveness as love. But I do think it all stems from this turbulent place he is at emotionally, not because he is a bad person.

I do not thing he is a bad person for thinking of Elain as he does, because I truly think this is a set up for the growth he will experience. Is it a good look? honey no. But is it a realistic one? I dare say it is. As I said when I read this I got full on high school bull shit vibes, I thought “ohh I’ve seen this film before and I have lived it”. He is being immature and there is no denying. Which was only confirmed with him regifting that necklace... sugar... that was a dick move, very fucking dickish move -specially since it was alluded that they might have feelings for each other–. My man needs to do some emotional growth because yikes.

II. The Narrative

Now, I have said before that for me, Sarah’s strength lies not so much on her world building or the originality of her works (which is not to say that her worlds suck or her narratives are not interesting and offer something new), but it lies more on her characters. To me she has always excelled at creating characters that do exemplify the range of humanity in its good, its bad, and all that’s in between. Even you can look at stuff that your fave did and go “yeah not cool at fucking all”. At least I know I can and I adore almost every character in this series. I love characters not because they are perfect but because I can either relate to them or because they allow me to understand and experience points of view that are alien to my own experience. Sarah has never made characters black and white. Your faves will make mistakes. Feyre has, Rhysand has, Cassian has, Nesta has, Elain has, Lucien has, Mor has and Az has.

What make her books interesting from this perspective is that she says “characters development does not equal character growth”. Take Chaol for example –if you haven’t read ToG do yourself a favor and read it– his character arc is one of the most interesting and best fulfilled ones in that series because we saw him at his lowest, when we couldn’t empathize exactly and he was being an ass, and then we saw him question his problematic behavior and move past it. Character development means just that: that the character move from point a to point b. It doesn’t mean he will be better by the end, but it means movement. Character growth does mean he will hopefully get to a place where they are “good”.

I think she knows exactly what she is doing with Az and with this teaser. Need I remind you of the chaos the bonus chapter in ACOFAS left this fandom in for a solid two years. This got our emotions high and got us one way or another expecting to see where this will all lead. I don’t think any of us were expecting this chapter when it was announced that Az would get a pov.

III. Conclusion

To conclude I just want to reiterate that I don’t support how he’s is behaving. I think I am accepting how he is behaving. Acceptance however does not meant that I am behind it, it means that I accept it and I am willing to stick around to see him grow out of this and realize why this is all so wrong (because well you know I can’t actively engage with him since he is... you know... fictional). I have had moments like this with some of my closest friends irl with whom we’ve had talks about previous behavior and have had the “be fucking better” talk, which is something that Rhys essentially said (GOD BLESS YOU BOO), and is also a sentiment most of us shared, even Feyre, when Rhys forced Mor to face both of her abusers and then didn’t consult her when selling Velaris off to her dad. And to me that is part of what friendship means, it means being there through the growth.

Everyone has their own limits of what they can understand of a character/person. If this is your own then it’s fine, no harm no foul. If this is what makes you jump ship from Elriel (that’s their ship name right?) then hey all good, I’m sorry for your loss.

I am not an Azriel hater, nor I think I will ever be. At least not from the information I have right now. I do still love him and as I have said before I want to see him happy and with a healthy amount of self confidence (and no Azriel saying you could easily kill Lucien is not the healthy self confidence I am talking about). So if anything I am interested in the arc his character will face, we just caught him at a moral low –which to me still has a solid chance of growth–.

I hope this offer some light or whatever. And remember take it easy, it’s okay to feel things deeply but don’t quit in the middle of the war, we still have his book coming up and I am 100% that will enlighten us more.

ANYWAYS, LONG LIVE ELUCIEN BITCHES.

Loveless by Alice Oseman

Read time: 5 Days Rating: 4/5

The quote: You know why people pair up into couples? Because being a human is fucking terrifying. But it's a hell of a lot easier if you're not doing it alone. — Ellis

In the interest of full disclose this is an almost automatic 5 star book for me. Any book that features an aro/ace protagonist and treats them with respect and dignity will get 5 five stars, any writing plot or character other flaws be damned. The world needs more aro/ace representation where we aren't the best friend or something to be fixed. But even without my usual aro/ace crusading, this likely would have been a 5. The character are individual, realistic and oh so human, the plot is centred on identity and confusion but is written in a manner that it is readable. And it is oh so relatable for an ace (aro? demi? grey? my romantic orientation is up in the air) who found out well after school what they were. The anger, confusion, sense of overwhelm, and the bizarre sense of mourning due to the loss of what was impressed on you as the normal. One of the best phrases in the book may be "Says who? The Hetronormative rulebook? Fuck that Georgia Fuck that." and you know what amen to that Rooney. The ending is satisfying but still open as is only right for something written for this demographic. This isn't the end of their story it is only the start.

It is worth saying that for those of us who are ace and comfortable with their identity are aware very early on what is going on with Georgia. Georgia is an anxious, touch averse Ace who is trying to force herself to be "normal". With an extended family of almost perfect hetronormative ideal relationships, met early married had kids that have been subconsciously impressed on her as the future and expected of her. Combined with her love of fanfiction it had to be her to the idea that there is the perfect person for everyone. As stated in the intro to this review Georgia is very realistic in her reactions to her newly discovered identity. Confusion, anger, mourning, insecurity. I personally felt all of these and I know others in the community did as well to varying degrees. Georgia does have a conversation with the wonderful Ellis, an ace in her 30s who had to discover her identity and learn her way on her own. Moments leading up that earn this a trigger warning for something that may or may not be alluding to conversion therapy, either way, it is slightly distressing. Ellis is a beautiful woman and a great inclusion. She is a successful woman, making her own way and living her life regardless of what others think.

A moment on the character who for me is the absolute stand out. Sunil is Georgia's College parent, they end up being a something of fairy godace for Georgia. They would hate that term, but it's so fitting for me. Sunil is a homoromantic nonbinary ace with the preferred pronouns they/him (Georgia/ Oseman use him never they), he is the one who introduces the term asexual to Georgia and tells her the potential of it. I really like him, he makes me smile. No one in an Alice Oseman book is two dimensional in their identity (racial, romantic or sexual), Sunil is no exception. He is handled well with the respect of an only slightly older figure, one who is still not entirely set on their feet. And while Georgia is cis white as well as being an enby Sunil is of Indian descent.

The other supporting characters are Rooney, Pip and Jason. Rooney is Georgia's Shakespeare obsessed roommate. They meet on the first day of university and are total opposites. I like their relationship. It's non-traditional but love in a way I want to see more of. Georgia is loyal despite all of Rooney's actions. Pip and Jason are Georgia's best friends. Pip is chaos, Georgia is silent and Jason is clam. They are something of an odd combination but it works well. Jason and his love of Scooby-Doo is both funny and cute. They are all individual and that there is some conflict between them is a good thing.

This is relatable for aces in a similar way to I Was Born For This was relatable for fandom. I would say that if you enjoyed I Was Born For This for its fandom aspects you will enjoy this, even more, fandom specifically fanfic is part of Georgia and her romantic education such as it is. Georgia (, Sunil and Ellis) face misunderstandings about their sexuality. Those phrase aces hear and hate. Sunil's is particularly important they face bigotry from other members of the LBGTQ community, where it is called a made-up sexuality. Georgia gets the 'you'll find the right person', 'have you tried...', 'what about when you are older'. We've all heard them and I could hear the tone. Some of the statements are apologised for others are not, the ones that are are important and say a lot about the importance and development of the character.

A random dump because concise reviews are not possible for Alice Oseman books.

Tommy ending up in the fire is funnier than it should be. I see all kinds of unwarranted metaphors.

Fried Egg is the cutest nickname that would make no sense to anyone but the participating people involved.

Kinsey Scale Test is something hadn't heard of but yeah that is a result a questioning person doesn't want to see.

QUILTBAG is an acronym I had never heard in the LGBTQ community. It's not new, I found it in a 2012 article, where I found this definition it is a good article. "It stands for QU is for queer and questioning, I for intersex, L for Lesbian, T for transgender and transsexual and Two-Spirit, B for bisexual, A for asexual and ally, and G for gay and genderqueer. Even with all those letters, we’ve missed some of the possibilities (such as pansexual and fluid, both of which are identities I’ve heard people claim), but QUILTBAG still offers a rainbow of different ways to identify. It’s also a lot easier to say than LGBTQIA (which is what I started using after I realized how exclusive LGBT and queer were)."

Am I the only one who doesn't know what the Bailey Ball is? They aren't an Australian thing. Well, that and I studied uni by distance.

Rooney and Ellis make some brilliant points about friendship and its importance to aces. The way it is made lesser than romantic relationships in general.

Apparently all the Oseman books are set in a common universe, the easiest evidence of this in Loveless is in the reference to Universe City from Radio Silence.

Roderick the plant as a metaphor was smart. I quite liked it.

This is a really quotable book there are fantastic quotes about love, friendship and maturity.

As an aside. The protagonist brings up her love of fanfic early in the book. There is there are precious little aspec fanfics out there. Mostly one would suspect because sex makes the tv industry go-round (see Shadowhunter and Riverdale for their treatment of originally aroace characters). As Clotpolesonly wrote in reply to me "aspec AUs are practically unicorns, they're so rare in fandom". One fandom that does have fanfics for them is Teen Wolf. Derek Hale can easily be read as an aspec (usually closer to the demi or grey part of the spectrum). So even if you don't know the show have a fic rec Magic and Drag Queens and Lizards, Oh My by clotpolesonly. Also That's When I Knew by Stennerd, this is for the 911 fandom pairing is Buddie, demisexual. There are I know more but not nearly as many as there are for some others.
