I know flag discourse is kinda done and over with but I'd seen a tweet that had something to do with lgbtq+ flags and every tweet about the lesbian flag being the prettiest was like.... :/ setting aside stuff about the creator, it's like just not, I don't see it as very appealing colors and it's literally just half of the butch flag and half of the lipstick flag--which had a problematic creator itself and the whole reason for the redesign! And I know the colors probably mean more than butch/femme but like, ya know, idk not every lesbian is butch or femme but whatever.

At this point though I feel like I wouldn't be able to use any other flags--and also just like uh, feel like cause I'm mspec lesbian there's a whole other can of worms so like. Idk how to end this vent lol hope you're doing ok.

Discourse is never over, IMO. It just kinda goes through cycles, I think. But yeah, I agree with you. Personal opinions about the creator and such aside, it really just ISN'T as pretty as people say it is. I mean, I've never really liked the color orange, but I understand that it CAN be pretty. But in that flag?? No, it's not. It's bad shades and a bad combo of colors. And honestly, the meanings don't make me think of those colors anyway. And yes, it IS a combo of two flags, which has its own set of issues such as what you said about not every lesbian being butch and femme (those terms aren't even lesbian-exlusive either).

But honey, you can use whatever flag you want. If people don't know what flag it is, so what? If they really care, they can politely ask. Personally, I claim 3 different lesbian flags: the Sappho lesbian flag, the one I created, and the pan lesbian flag by @bi-lesbian. Not many people, especially not many outside the Internet, know exactly what flags they are, but that doesn't matter to me because they make ME happy and that's all that matters. The only thing that sucks about using flags different from mainstream ones is that it's harder to get merch of them. But I already got the Sappho lesbian and the pan lesbian flag custom made, and I even got an artist I like to make a Sappho lesbian flag version of a sticker they designed! So it's not impossible, just a little harder to acquire.

Please use whatever flag(s) make you happy, and forget what everyone else thinks. Your happiness is what matters 💜🩷💛💚 And I hope you're doing alright as well!!

Lesbian themed eye!

The second entry into the series, this is the one that I personally believe has the prettiest background, but maybe that’s just because I love how the colours in the lesbian flag work together!

Anyways, hope you enjoy - A piece of toast on the road

arch i fear that he is like in love with me

but like in the way that HES IN LOVE WITH ME

the signs he has been giving since the first time we met

the hearts

the “i miss you’s”

the free cigarettes

the nicknames

the protecting me from people or situations he believes to be dangerous to me

the low-key special treatment

but see i am a lesbian

and he is also not the prettiest person ever

which that’s fine

but not if you’re attracted to me as a man

Walk around with a lesbian flag painted on your forehead and an anti straight spray

I'm a butch lesbian. I'm a twink. I call myself bi because I think the flag has the prettiest colors. Same with genderfluid, I just think it sounds cool. I got shockingly close to marrying a man. Cutting my hair is probably the most I'll ever do to transition. I hate pride month but I cry every time I go to a parade. Figuring out my gender is so hard it makes me want to turn inside out. Figuring out my gender is so freeing it makes me feel like I'm flying. The only thing I identify as is a contradiction.

Can I ask for help, I’m not sure if I’m pan or bi. I know they are very similar but pan has awful origins (fucking Freud) yet in bi’s origin it was considered the two sexes and it was the overlap which is what the purple meant BUT I know these meanings have change. Yet I’m not sure either fit because I don’t feel gendered attraction. Like I lack it so what does that make me? I’m just into people in general so does that make me bi or pan or polysexual? I’m just so lost

i'm none of those things so i can't really help you with personal experience but like. just whatever fits you the best? there's also no reason why you can't go by all of those things, or omnisexual or just multisexual or something else entirely.

the origin of the words should not really affect your decision making though imo because the origin of basically every single longtime gay term outside of i think lesbian (since that just means 'of the isle of lesbos' where sappho lived) came from some kind of medical diagnosis or description. this includes homosexual and bisexual. like thats just how it was yknow.

but pansexual also has a long history of usage in between freud coining it and someone making a blog in 2006 saying that pansexual means 'men women and trans people' though it was differently used from what you associate with it today. it was more used to describe a lifestyle of sexual fluidity, like for example david bowie was described as pansexual in the media once or twice because of his androgyny, and before that (like in the 60s) when it was used it was essentially used interchangeably with bisexual. polysexual was also used in this way (as a synonym for or variation of bisexual, or just a word meaning sexual freedom in general), along with other words like omnisexual and ambisexual (ambi as in 'ambiguous'), but not as frequently as pansexual. so if history is important to you theres also that. obviously not implying bisexual doesnt have history because it SUPER DUPER does but its pretty well discussed and documented on tumblr

or just pick the flag you think is prettiest lol

#flags in order: pansexual bisexual polysexual and omnisexual #apparently theres also an ambisexual flag but its just the bi flag with a gradient so i didnt include that one

Reasons why Rachel Berry is bisexual and in love with Quinn Fabray:

She wore a sweater with the colors of the bi flag while singing about getting the attention from both boys and girls. Take me or Leave me is a song from the musical Rent performed by a bisexual female character (it’s a duet with a lesbian and a bi woman, but Rachel performed the part of the bi character)

Even though at first her admiration for Quinn was platonic in a “I wanna look like you” kind of way, it evolved into something more. No straight girl talks that amount of times about how pretty and beautiful other girls are. Rachel literally says Quinn is the prettiest girl she’s ever met and there isn’t a single ounce of jealousy in her tone. Rachel is definitely attracted to Quinn and often looks like she’s pining after her

She asked Finn what it was like to kiss another girl (Quinn)

Even though Rachel has every reason to hate Quinn she never hated her. She even gave her panties to jbi to not divulge Quinn’s pregnancy and she did this for Quinn: Quinn is the one who would lose her reputation, her parents, her popularity and her spot on the Cheerios. Quinn is the one who would be hurted the most if the truth came out, not Finn. Rachel did this to protect her. During the first seasons, we often see Rachel trying to support/help Quinn (another example is when Rachel tries to reach out to Quinn when she was a skank)

Was Rachel in love with Finn ? Yes, he was her first love, but around mid season two and the beginning of season three she started to develop feelings for Quinn too

Rachel seems often sad and defeated when Quinn dates men

She suggested to Finn to get Quinn a gardenia for the prom: the gardenia means secret love, of all the flowers that exist in this world Rachel specifically picks the gardenia. This can’t be a coincidence

The way she looks at Quinn, ma’am just say you’re in love with her and go

In this scene from the pilot she touches Tina’s boobs

She has sexual chemistry with every woman she interacts with, especially with Quinn during the first seasons and Santana during seasons 4-5. Her duets with Santana are often emotionally charged and full of chemistry: in “so emotional” it’s almost like they’re singing to each other and there’s a heavy romantic subtext, in “every breath you take” pezberry look like two exes who had a rough break up, but they still aren’t over each other. This song can be interpreted as “i’m obsessed with you so I’m gonna watch you every step you take” or “I’m so in love with you I always wanna be close to you”. Both keys of reading are valid

She went through Santana’s panty drawer, I don’t need to say more

She’s constantly teased by Santana and other characters about her sexuality, it’s curious that she never denies being gay. It often seems like the show is dropping hints about her attraction to girls

Does femme lesbians have an official flag? Just asking to be sure but I guess the answer is no. I've seen one I like that has a lot of purple shades but it's not like I can find information about it. There's the lipstick lesbian flag but it was made by a bigot. I think it would be nice to have an official flag for this subgroup, I think butches have their own flag. Btw I still love the sunset one, I was just curious.

I think there is a femme lesbian flag!

This is what I’ve found. The first one I think is for anyone queer who’s a femme, and the other one I think it’s for femme lesbians specifically.

Tbh I love the sunset flag, I think the lesbian (sunset) and the gay pride flag are the prettiest flags in the community.

What video games your ssfah characters play and do they even have them?

They do have video games! Their world is basically just ours but in the future and also slightly magical.

First up, all of them play and love Minecraft because everyone loves Minecraft.

Madeline set up a server for all of them to play on! Her house is the coolest since it’s filled with fancy red stone she made all herself! (Alfred helped hiding some of the wiring and making it look pretty, though)

Aasira doesn’t have a house that anyone knows of on the server, but she’s the most powerful and rich on the server. She’s also the only one who will give in to Bruce’s constant begging for materials, only for him to immediately die and loose all his shit in the stupidest way you can possibly imagine.

Mx. Clark and Mx. Varci are both invited to the Minecraft server, but only Mx. Varci plays.

Daniel, Mary Jane, and Challen compete for the prettiest house on the server. (Daniel thinks it’s just a friend,y competition, little does he know both Mary Jane and Challen would commit murder for this contest)

Parno likes games with neon colors like shapes n beats, octahedron transfixed edition, etc.

Paula, Parno, and Rini share an island on Animal Crossing New Horizons and there is not a single place on there that doesn’t have at least two lesbian pride flags.

Mary Jane also plays ACNH and her island is mildly famous on instagram. (It’s hacked a lot but no one needs to know that <3)

Norman and Bruce have a constant rivalry in Super Smash Bros. And by rivalry I mean Norman has absolutely obliterated him millions of times and Bruce is too salty and stubborn to let it go.

Principal Arnold is the only human being alive who has beaten Norman in Smash

Enji can beat everyone in Mario Cart.

Enji, Parno, Rini, and Alfred all had very aggressive Undertale phases.

Enji never fully got out of the Undertale phase.

Honestly neither did Parno.

For fun, here’s some of their Minecraft skins!

@spnwomenweek Day 7: Free Space because I'm bad at deadlines and missed AU day.

Harvelle’s Sweet Treats - Home of delicious cupcakes, cookies bigger than your head, and the prettiest baker Charlie has ever seen. Now if only she could ask her out without making a total fool of herself.

1.8K word count, copious amounts of Jo and Charlie fluff

Read on AO3

Five days. That was long enough, right? Five days between visits to a bakery was a totally normal, non-stalker-ish, “oh hey I just really like cupcakes, ya know?” amount of time to wait to go there again.

Right?

Yes. Definitely.

Hell, after five days, the cute girl behind the counter had probably long forgotten Charlie. It was a popular bakery, after all.

Yeah, she’d definitely forgotten Charlie by now.

Well...that was depressing.

Charlie huffed and readjusted her backpack on her shoulders. Whatever. She’d just make Bakery Girl remember her! They’d had a great conversation. A totally memorable chat.

About cupcakes.

In a store that sold cupcakes.

Okay, probably not so memorable.

She stifled a groan. Dammit Charlie! This wasn’t hard! She knew how to flirt! She flirted all the time!

...Not with girls this cute though. Not girls with beautiful blonde waves to make even Galadriel jealous. Not girls who smelled like cinnamon and vanilla and sugar.

Charlie shifted from one foot to another as she waited at the crosswalk. Her time to chicken out was rapidly dwindling. Harvelle’s Sweet Treats was just on the other side of the road. But, hey, nothing wrong with being a chicken. Six days between visits was better than five, right? Even less weird?

The crosswalk sign changed.

Charlie groaned out loud and earned herself a concerned look from a businessman walking alongside her. She forced a smile and started jogging the rest of the way to escape his judgement. Unfortunately that left her staring at the door to Harvelle’s much sooner than intended.

She took a deep breath. “You got this, Bradbury. Woman up! Just don’t think about how she smells like cupcakes and you’ll be fine.”

At that moment the blonde woman behind the counter noticed her lurking outside the door and grinned at her, gesturing for her to come inside.

Charlie’s eyes went wide as saucers. “I don’t got this,” she squeaked.

But it was too late now. Bakery Girl had spotted her. If she ran away now…

No, she couldn’t consider that.

Charlie squared her shoulders. She felt like Link staring down the entrance to Ganondorf’s castle, only without any of the sages to back her up. If only she had an ocarina on hand to teleport her out of here if things went awry... No. Focus! Charlie shook herself out of her thoughts and entered the store.

“Mornin’!” Bakery Girl’s smile was cheerful and casual. “You know what you want?” She leaned against the counter on her forearm, which caused her gorgeous hair to cascade over her shoulder and frame her face.

And just like that, Charlie’s carefully planned script flew straight out of her head. “Um.” She blinked. Once. Twice. Think, Bradbury! Think! Do not answer “you,” okay? That’s just weird. Think of literally any other answer!

Bakery Girl chuckled at Charlie’s dumbstruck stare. “We sell coffee, if you’re still waking up,” she said with a wink, which only drove Charlie even closer to a full-fledged hardware meltdown.

“Coffee! Mm-hmm!” Charlie squeaked with an over-enthusiastic nod. “Yes! I will take one coffee and one...er, cupcake,” she added, determined to get back on script before she blurted out something stupid and completely ruined any chance she might have with Bakery Girl.

“Coffee and cupcake. Interesting breakfast.” Bakery Girl raised an eyebrow as she tucked her hair behind her ear. God, why did she have to keep smiling like that? Charlie was going to have a heart attack!

Charlie nodded again before mentally smacking herself for looking too much like a bobblehead toy. “Well that’s me. Interesting.” Her eyes widened. “I mean, not interesting. Not, like, full of myself. A-And not weird interesting either!” she added hastily. “I mean, okay, yeah, I’m kinda weird. Pretty weird. Comes with the whole...nerd territory. But hey, ha ha, at least I shaved my neckbeard this morning, right?”

Bakery Girl listened to Charlie’s increasingly unhinged rambling with a bemused grin on her face. She shook her head. “Yeah, definitely weird,” she agreed with a laugh, but somehow it didn’t sound like an insult. She pushed off from the counter and rung up Charlie’s order.

Charlie forced herself to take a deep breath. Okay, so operation “Woo The Hot Bakery Girl” was definitely going off the rails, but it wasn’t unsalvageable! She just needed to regroup. Charlie smiled her brightest, sweetest “don’t think I’m a total loser, please” smile as she paid for her food. Bakery Girl grinned back, and any flirtatious comeback Charlie had was lost in thoughts of cinnamon-brown eyes and absolutely adorable apple-round cheeks.

“You got a name, Miss Interesting?”

Charlie blinked and shook off her daze. Bakery Girl was holding a pen up against a coffee cup. “Um.” Charlie looked around the otherwise empty store. “It’s not like you’re gonna mix up my order.”

Bakery Girl pursed her lips and fought down a new smile. “Humor me.” She honest to god winked, and Charlie honest to god let out a tiny, mortifying squeak.

“Charlie!” she blurted out, hot on that noise’s tail. Maybe she was fast enough to cover it. God, she hoped she was fast enough to cover it. “Bradbury. Charlie Bradbury. Though why would I tell you my last name? You don’t need my last name. That’s ridiculous. I’m being ridiculous.” To Charlie’s horror, she couldn’t bring herself to shut up no matter how hard she tried. “You obviously don’t need to know my last name, but um, yep. There it is. Bradbury. Like Ray Bradbury? That. And--”

“You know what flavor cupcake you want?” Bakery Girl cut in, and Charlie was so grateful she almost hopped the counter and kissed her then and there.

“Um…” Once again, Charlie’s carefully planned out script was trapped behind the mesmerizing distraction of Bakery Girl’s smile. No, wait! She remembered! “What do you recommend?” She batted her eyelashes a little and shrugged one shoulder. Yes, this was perfect. Whatever was offered would oh so conveniently be one of Charlie’s favorite flavors. Of course, all cupcake flavors were her favorite, because they were cupcakes. Not a lie. Just an exaggeration.

Bakery Girl glanced down at her display case. “Red velvet,” she said with the hint of a smirk. Her eyes seemed to linger on Charlie’s hair, but surely Charlie was imagining that. Definitely imagining that.

Charlie bit her lip. “Sure! Let’s go with that,” she said in a rush, while internally she screamed about her carefully planned cupcake flavor ruse. Bakery Girl nodded and set about getting Charlie’s order ready. Charlie breathed in deeply, disappointment building with each passing second. This was a bust. This was clearly not going anywhere. Charlie was way too flustered to pull out her usual stops. So far all she’d managed to do is look and act like a socially awkward nerd. Which...well...Pot. Kettle. Black.

Maybe if she came back in another five days, things would go better that time. Or six days. Or sixty.

As Charlie put her wallet away, her eyes landed on the pen cup. There was a cute one with an oversized cartoon cupcake on the end, large enough that it partly obscured the little rainbow flag stuck in there too.

Deep down, Charlie knew that could mean anything. Maybe the owner was gay. Or one of the other employees. Maybe the store did a lot of gay wedding cakes. Hell, it was San Francisco. Pride flags were just good business sense. Charlie had to admit her gaydar could get a little frazzled when confronted by stunningly attractive women. Or maybe she was just exceptionally optimistic.

She decided to pounce on the opportunity anyway. This was her last shot.

She pointed to the little flag and flashed a grin that she prayed wasn’t too awkward. “Hey cool. Samesies.” Dear goddess Selûne, did she really just say samesies? She tried not to cringe.

Bakery Girl laughed. “Yeah, I’m aware,” she said as she brushed her hair behind her ear. And okay, Charlie had to give her that. She gave off that vibe. Also there was a lesbian pride pin on her backpack.

Thinking about it, that might have been the biggest giveaway.

“So…” Charlie began. This was her opening. She knew this was her opening. And if this were anyone less cool, or less hot, or less…all of everything that Bakery Girl had going on, Charlie would be on top of things. She’d have gotten her number and made date plans before she even placed her order.

Instead she rocked back and forth on her heels like a helpless dweeb. Like some sort of awkward middle schooler trying to ask a date to homecoming.

“So…” Bakery Girl agreed, her voice barely containing her laughter. The silence dragged on until it became agony. Charlie thought for certain the pressure to ask her out inflating her chest would burst before she worked up the nerve. But right when Charlie opened her mouth to either speak or let out a pathetic squeak of compressed air, Bakery Girl leaned forward on the counter and raised an eyebrow at Charlie. “So are you gonna ask my name before or after I get your phone number?”

Charlie jerked her head up in surprise. “Phone number?” she squeaked. Her eyes widened. Bakery Girl was asking for her phone number?! SUCCESS! “Um, yeah! Yeah, I…” Charlie grinned from ear to ear. “Name? Your name? Er…” She cleared her throat. “What’s your name anyway? So I can stop calling you Bakery Girl in my head?”

Bakery Girl smirked. “Bakery Girl, huh?” She grabbed the cupcake pen from the cup and held out her hand. Her eyes darted to Charlie’s arm and back to her face as she wiggled her fingers. Charlie hastily held out her hand. “It’s Jo, by the way.” Charlie’s skin tingled where Bakery Girl--Jo! touched her wrist. Jo scrawled out her number on the inside of her arm.

“You know, I coulda just punched it into my phone,” Charlie said, already wondering how weird it would be if she didn’t wash her hand for awhile.

“Yeah, but I like to be old school.” Jo winked at her. Her fingers slid down Charlie’s hand as she released it, and Charlie’s heart skipped a beat.

“Old school, huh?” Charlie grinned. “So like...dinner and a movie, pick me up at eight old school?”

Jo paused a moment to size her up. She bit her lower lip. “Pool,” she said with a cocky smile. “There’s this bar I like where we can play pool.”

Charlie’s shoulders dipped a little. “I don’t know how to play pool.” Could a date fail before it even started? Charlie was beginning to suspect Jo was way cooler than she could ever hope to be.

Jo just shook her head, a knowing twinkle in her pretty brown eyes. “Oh, I figured. I plan to teach you.”

Charlie’s heart leapt into her throat. “Can’t wait.”
