On this day of visibility

Be mindful of the fact that we are visible to others today.

And if you were planning to get some money out of the bank, or to go to that museum you've been thinking about (full of rare and priceless artifacts), wait until tomorrow when you become invisible again.

continuing that "maya tries to contact claire" post, i present you the post-Spirit of Justice follow-up

Yall don't understand this genuinely was my roman empire

"sara snow" as if that could have ever been a real name. get real. That is a drag name

Sam & Powers

I can never articulate how disappointing it was for Supernatural to focus so much of their time and effort on Sam’s powers and everything that comes with it in the first 2 seasons only to bring it back in season 4 and even season 5 even more in depth than before to then just drop it after that and only mention it once every 2 seasons. I feel like it was such a core theme in the beginning of the show that was used so well to tie up what they thought was going to be the season finale in season 5 that once they realized they were going to continue the show they decided it would become too boring or repetitive or something to use more when they were SO wrong. Sure if that’s ALL they focused on then that would make sense but what they did didn’t make any sense at all because how can you take something that was such a big part of one of the main characters and erase it all? One of the things that drew me to Sam’s character in the first place and that helped cement me as a Sam girl was the fascination with his powers that he was slowly coming to terms with. What made his powers different than a lot of other pieces of media that I’ve consumed is the concept that they were forced upon him by a DEMON through his BLOOD! How is that not compelling?? He literally states in the show that he has a sickness that is pumping through his veins that he can never get rid of so why shouldn’t he do good with them? Like !! There was so much potential here!! I’ve always felt when they said that Azazel’s death just...made Sam’s powers “go away” it was a flimsy excuse to get rid of them and only use that plot when they felt like it (i.e drinking demon blood) but if they never had Sam’s powers function like that they could have created a whole plot where Sam comes to terms with his powers and realizes they aren’t going away but they aren’t inherently bad, that he can choose what he wants to do with them, re cementing his autonomy that is so often lacking in the series!! He chooses to help people with these powers (without needing to drink demon blood) and explores them and accepts them!! The route that the show ended up taking never sat well with me because it felt like he just internalized his powers because of what other characters said about it and how people literally tried to kill him because of it and that just feels wrong. Like the show tried so hard to just magically turn him into this Normal Guy TM when Sam is Not Normal and that was the whole point!! He deserved to be as freaky and as comfortable with it as he wanted!! And then in season 15 I almost felt like they were going to do something freakish with his character again because of Rowena’s comment about him being the “closest to a witch” among the characters in the room and then she left her spells and potions and everything TO SAM and it would’ve been so cool to have him dabble in witchcraft and would make so much sense with his character yet he uses them once and then it’s never mentioned again. By the end of the show he’s living this normal life when after everything he went through and everything he discovered about himself throughout 15 YEARS, I don’t think that’s what he would’ve wanted anymore. Supernatural had so many brilliant ideas & concepts which is why I think I’ve continued to be so obsessed and intrigued by this goddamn show, but so so many shortcomings.  

headcanon that every joestar is bi

All Joestars are bi and, in some cases, polyam too, and that's a fact! There we have jonaeri+jonawagon and joseq+caejose, for example... 😌🙏

People really forget about bisexuals don't they. It's like bi characters are only there so fandom could headcanon them as gay because gay is even better rep or whatever. I'm just so sick of people throwing away a canon bi character's sexuality just so they could force them into tropes like the useless lesbian trope or what have you.

I appreciate the ask, anon. I feel this.

I remember when I first downloaded dating apps and I thought all the guys would think I’m a lesbian and all the girls would think I’m straight… I was daunted to re-enter the dating world. Basically daunted to exist without changing an aspect of who I am. This shittiness feeling, it echoes all the way to fiction and fandom spaces. And that makes me sad, because gay/lesbian ppl kinda get to escape their experiences of homophobia in fandom spaces and reflect onto gay/lesbian characters, in somewhere that feels more accepting to how harsh homophobia is irl.

Us bisexuals, we don’t really… get that as much? I mean, don’t get me wrong, biphobia irl is like a hundred times worse than on tumblr but like… for centuries, bi has been a footnote for gay/lesbian. And I don’t know how long it’ll take to change that.

I guess that’s why it’s called a “bisexual community”. I usually am not a fan when people say it like “bisexual community”, “the lgbtq community” bc I prefer just saying “the lgbtq” or “bisexuals”. But now? I get it. We really are a community. Bc even tho I’ve never met you anon, you get some pieces of what I’ve been through, and vice versa. And when it gets tough, we can recall that little army of fellow bisexuals that reside in our hearts.

here i go again. I think I’d be a lot more tolerant of f/m romances in work if any of them actually engaged with the dynamics of heterosexuality. The two characters, no matter how much they like each other or get along, are performing the roles laid out for them. A script exists for their situation. In liking each other they are in some way bending to the whims of society (or not in the case of caste/class/etc differences. but those aren’t explored often either). The dynamics of their relationship have been already laid out and prescribed for them. He was a boy, she was a girl. He was supposed to treat her badly, ignore her whims, take control of their mutual lives. She was supposed to quit her job and hobbies, support his endeavours, relinquish independence. Even in e.g. sci-fi set in a world free of misogyny, we the audience still expect a degree of gender conformity from a f/m relationship.

This should introduce some interesting drama. Shouldn’t it! If people are getting into a relationship where they have to bury their own desires and dance out the little steps they’re supposed to--shouldn’t that cause tension? Angst? Shouldn’t there be some sort of fear that they don’t actually like each other, they’re just doing the done thing? Shouldn’t there be internal conflict over whether they have to adhere to gender roles to make the relationship work? When this does happen it’s fun and interesting.

Ao no Flag does it. Relationships between female and male characters are strained, torn, twisted by the crushing pressure of a) inevitable heterosexuality b) having to perform gender roles to pass the heterosexuality test. I’ve heard that Pale Moonlit Dusk and Lovely Complex do it, though I haven’t read them. But time and again I keep getting reminded why I avoid anything with a romance in it

One day I'll make an essay on how transcourse is secretly a means of affirming the sexualities of all involved but with a trans coat of paint (note how womanhood and lesbianism are common areas of discussion on both ends, and how discourse over who is a woman/lesbian and a fixation on men and relating to men and how "all conversations become About Men how saaaaad waaaah" are common motifs on the blogs of people sniffing their own farts about this shit) but no one is ready for that conversation and I don't have the language to explain it yet.

Wharever. Skill issue, this is what happens when your gender and sexuality are defined by what the opposite and same sex are and aren't doing instead of defining it for yourself lol.

Being quietly but incredibly vindicated by Taliesin explicitly saying at the Comic-Con panel that bringing Molly back would have been wrong, that Molly’s whole deal was a celebration of the ephemeral, and that introducing Kingsley was always the plan.

So who is gonna take one for the team and finally convince Nick to put a horseshoe barbell septum in

I love being out to my brother because yes he’s so supportive and it makes me emotional knowing that I’ll always have someone close to me who supports me but it also means that when he says stuff like “hey your car came out in 2020!” i can say “so did i” and he’ll start laughing

Anyway Jon deserves to be bisexual in S&L. He’s canonically bisexual. I see so many fans pushing for Jon to get powers in the show, but not even half as many for him being bi.

crazy how television works. i never even cared about derek teenwolf until they killed him off and now he's my special little hero and he's never gonna die
