okay i am fully convinced in my head that laura palmer is a lesbian she seems to only ever use sex with men to harm herself and in the book she talked about preferring it with women/caring more for women. also the fact that she never really liked her boyfriends (using bobby for cocaine/using james for attention - calling him boring) but cared for and loved donna (and ronnette) so deeply and worried about their wellbeing

#i dont mind the interpretation that shes bi at all #but yeah #as a lesbian myself who convinced myself i liked men for so long #i see a lot of it in her #laura palmer #twin peaks #i need a full reread of the book but still i remember most of it

Anne: I want to be like you: Unmarried because I don't give a shit about romance.

Josephine: Anne, I'm a lesbian. And my wife just died.

#I don't think this is supposed to be funny but it really is #*Anne talking about kindred spirits proclaiming her undying love to Diana* Josephine: thank god she gets it #*Anne saying how she will ignore her romantic feelings for a boy because she is following in Josephine's footsteps* #Josephine: I have spoken too soon #Don't worry aunt Josephine: Anne will figure out she is bi sooner or later I am sure <3 #I have the theory that all of Anne's kindred spirits are simply fellow queer people #Aunt Josephine and her 'friend' Gertrude are clear and so is Diana #That teacher (that I haven't seen in the series yet but I am sure she'll show up) I expect will be another open and shut case #Matthew in the audio book was very aroace coded and now there's his lady friend in town #But honestly it does make sense that he would be nervous around her when he cares for her a great deal platonically but knows she is #expecting something else #anne of green gables #anne with an e #I am kinda watching the series and listening to the audio book at the same time #I have to say much as I like the series Marilla she will always be Whitney Avalon to me #I am not set on anyone else as much but Marilla is her that's just the way it is

My headcanon for bi Hunter is he is very much leaning towards girls but he knows he's bi because back when he was reading Rulers Reach a few months ago, there happened to be one character written by Luz that King approved of because he was edgy and cool enough (although King did cut out all of his pointless romance bullshit) so he managed to survive the final draft. It was a recycled version of this guy.

Anyway everytime he appeared in a chapter Hunter was like "ok. OK. hm. HM. OK!!!!!" He was very normal about it.

The only person he's told about this is Luz during one of their bi-weekly "laying on the kitchen floor at 3am talking about stupid shit" sessions. And Luz, who has grown out of her fixation with edgelord YA love interests just asks "Really? Really?" And Hunter is immediately spluttering like "j-just just just hear me out he's actually-shut up shut up stop smiling right now Luz I said shut up jUST HEAR ME OUT!!!!!"

#he eventually told willow after they started dating #they were sharing their cringe. she told him about her ladybug fear. so he felt like he owed her something silly in return #it is literally ten years later and willow will be like: yes my boyfriend is bi. he also has a boyfriend. #hunter who is now 26 and has developed critical thinking skills and whose favourite book is not an 8 yr old's edgelord fanfic anymore: #LET IT DIE!!! JUST LET IT DIE!!!!

Our Hideous Progeny

historical fantasy set in 1850s London/Inverness

A young woman and her husband want to become renowned paleontologists, but are dismissed by the scientific community and struggling with money

When they find her great uncle Frankenstein’s notes, they construct a plan to recreate a dinosaur to prove their theories and become acknowledged by their peers

But her attachment to the creature and their dissolving relationship over his gambling habits change their plans.

I still can't believe people misinterpret this to be Kaito being homophobic when he's upset because he thinks Shuichi came out of the closet and never told him.

In Kaito's FTEs, he says communication is the most important thing for an astronaut. Communication. You know what isn't communication? Not telling your bestie you're kinda gay.

His reaction isn't displaying anything like "WOAH EW NO NOT THE GAY FOR ME" he's literally upset because he thinks Shuichi kept his sexual orientation a secret form him.

Anyway biting the haters for trying to say Kaito's homophobic because that's just fucking wrong.

(And if I remember correctly his LSE was VERY "Rivals to lovers" gay coded so SUCK IT ANTIS.)

#Plus the fact that Kaito never developed romantic feelings for Maki in canon and instead let her down gently when she confessed #Like I know that could mean he just didn't like HER like that specifically #But......... I mean #in the library dates Kaito is more than willing to read a dirty book with Shuichi #Idk maybe he's Gay Guys #I personally like him being a hopeless bisexual but also #I can see the HC of him just being flat out gay like there is Reason and Evidence for it #Like I think he's so far in the closet that he's not even aware of his own sexuality #but he kisses a boy and boy howdy is he full hog gay/bi after that #I... spitefully kind of want to make him a peacock gay for queer events #Boy wears full ass rainbow or bi colors at Pride you Cannot Stop Him #You tell him he's wearing too many rainbows and he somehow adds MORE RAINBOWS.

[wraithee]

I wonder if the people on the Bridgerton subreddit know how severely homophobic they are?

Reading things like ‘it would break my heart if this character is gay, why can’t they just make a new side character that’s gay???’ in the year of 2024 makes me want to scream.

#Eloise’s book is my favorite #but I couldn’t care less if they made her hot botanist husband a hot botanist wifey instead #either way she better get railed in a greenhouse #ALSO Michael becoming Michaela wouldn’t bother me in the slightest as long as they’re down so bad they can barely function #and anyone acting like Benedict being bi would personally wound them needs to go get some sunlight or something #sorry this is like my only rant about it

The Way of Kings - Brandon Sanderson (Stormlight Archive #1)

4.75/5 - Kaladin my beloved!!! Shallan my beloved!!! Jasnah my crazy weird older sister!! truly my love for this book knows no bounds; fewer pace issues than I remember; really solid start to the series

Minor spoilers for Words of Radiance!

Truly I forgot just how much happens in this book. 1200 pages of straight insanity.

Anyway, I do think this is a very intriguing entry into an epic fantasy. Everything that Mistborn does well in the introduction to its magic system, Stormlight does with more finesse and tWoK is truly a masterclass on character introduction.

I also appreciate how rich each of the side characters feel. Each of them clearly have conflicting motivations and independent goals and they never feel like they only exist to prop up our central POV characters. They challenge not only the characters' beliefs on what is right and wrong, but the beliefs that we, as audience members, absorb from reading in specific POVs.

More than the side characters, whom I love dearly, I just cannot heap enough praise on the characterization of both Kaladin and Shallan. To have two characters, both so clearly traumatized, and show them reacting to that in different ways and having that play on their strengths and weaknesses, flaws and skills, is something very rarely undertaken and even more rarely pulled off. The tension between a character who is so open about their feelings and their failures and another who seeks to hide her past and parts of herself is such a delightful payoff in WoR.

Furthermore, I do enjoy the little pictures and interludes that Sanderson includes. In my opinion, the addition of these small things really elevates the novel from his past work and makes it feel very lived in. Just because we're focusing on the Shattered Plains and Kharbranth because our main characters are there does not mean that those are the only places with things going on. I found it really refreshing to be reminded that this is a large world and our story takes place in only a small part of it.

Docked 0.25 of a point because I always find that Dalinar's sections drag on a bit. No shade to him, I just don't particularly care about his sections at the beginning, especially when they're sandwiched between Kaladin and Shallan POV chapters. However, they are necessary for understanding the plot/stakes and they help the plot marinate a little bit. An epic can't be an epic if it doesn't take a while to tell.

#there's no succinct way for me to capture everything I love ab these books you just have to read and find out #anyway the return of Kaladin my little guy!!! i love him so much!! #and shallan my disaster bi queen!!! she's everything to me!!! #the way of kings #brandon sanderson #stormlight archive #cosmere #book review #fantasy #high fantasy #kaladin stormblessed #shallan davar #dalinar kholin

i love how it became a general consensus that clementine would be a jock in a highschool au but in canon the only sport she ever did was soccer bc her mom made her and she said she hated it 😭

#like where did that even come from #the hat? #sorry but she’s definitely an art major #and they said she’d do photography in college i believe #which suits her so well #collecting her weird skulls #bedazzling them #she would probably still like bugs #n have fake butterflies taped to her ceiling with string so it looks like they’re flying around #and probably a lot of books #i love thinking about modern aus i could make so many posts about modern aus #twdg #clementine twdg #definitely has a bi flag in her room too lets not forget

Just realised it's been a while since I posted art, so here have some new characters I definitely didn't need to make

The poses are referenced from some Disney princess official art that I'll put under the read more.

Their names are Melissa and Renee (left to right). Here they are as little girls:

It's possible that Melissa might like bows. And the colour pink. And puffy sleeves.

Just noticed how long Aurora's legs are...

#i learn to draw from a 'how to draw disney princesses' book so i guess i'm returning to my roots #also the colours are kind of pride flag inspired (lesbian flag pink and bi flag blue) #i tried colour picking them but they were too bright so i went with vibes #these two came to me in a dream! originally melissa was blonde but i decided she looked better with brown hair #also they were anime in the dream but i can't draw anime #oc art #ocs #original characters #art

— open starter.

status - open to all, but pls read my rules and mobile about (pinned post) first before interacting. don't like my starters. muse - vasti inaiê souza gonçalves, sculptor, potter and printmaker. bisexual, uses she/her pronouns. human, thirty. wanted opposites (in order of priority) - m/nb/f, 30+. mocs (muns/muses of color) preferred. wanted connections - literal strangers, an ex, fellow artist, someone they haven't seen since sixth grade, as long as they're a little richer than vasti is (and not related) go literally batsh*t plot - they're on their way to personally deliver one of their commissions but they haven't slept well in over 48 hours (they've slept enough to not get pulled over, they can drive) and really should have hired a truck or sent it through the post but hey they've done it before and the client is right across town (or city, cough) so it shouldn't be too bad right? they'll make it except you just kind of yk. rear-ended them at the stoplight and their sh*t's in the trunk bc it couldn't fit in the back seat and now you might have just f*cked sh*t up if that packing wrap isn't as good as it's marketed to be. potential meet cute with insurance problems and career threatening happenings basically, what could be better than that

— she hears it before she feels it, the way the body of the car lurches underneath her at the street corner. the rattling in the back is too loud for her to ignore, and she's already doing inventory on what she has with her. registration papers, house keys, studio keys, that flat tire kit she's never had to use in her life and hopes she won't have to now, the delivery— oh God, fuck, the delivery. in the trunk. surrounded by a shit ton of bubble wrap and cling film and whatever the fuck else she wrapped it in at 3am two days ago and placed it in its box, but last she checked no flat tire makes that kind of sound like the kind where there's a bit too much metal and you know in your gut you'll need to call your insurance company. both of them, in her case, if the vehicle in her rearview mirror is giving anything to go by. que se lixe isso, this is not a good day. her blood pressure was not made for this. neither was her neck, for that matter, but she doubts there was enough speed behind the impact to cause any whiplash worth worrying about. she unlocks her phone as she steps out, car door slamming closed behind her, insurance already on speed dial. as a precaution she takes a few photos of the other car's license plate, now neatly tucked (along with the front bumper) just barely under her chassis—she is not paying for this shit if she doesn't have to, especially if the driver in question has enough money to be driving a car like that right into her sedan and especially if they might have just jeopardized her commission. three months, hundreds of hours, possibly damaged in her trunk because it's the one day she didn't have her morning coffee and decided to put it there instead of the backseat, bubble wrap or no bubble wrap. yeah, she'll milk every last penny from that payout while she's at it. might as well be pissed for a reason. 'hey,' she says, coming up to the window as it rolls down, 'i'm sorry, this is going to sound so completely fucking obvious and i know this and you know this but i think you just rear-ended me? and there's something in my trunk that i really need to get out and check on before this day goes any further to shit than it already has so if you could please try and back the fuck up, it would be much appreciated. juro o túmulo da minha mãe.' her mother is alive, thank you very much, but it's not like they need to know that in english or portuguese. // @indiestarter

So about the Katherine and Will thing.

Anyways I for one, liked much more his whole thing with Katherine when it came to light she was his pseudo-sis/full sister and he manipulated her for revenge. Like also for his mother who made him promise to protect her and Elizabeth but he didn't have to seduce Kate. That was him being attracted to her and also getting to give the middle finger to Simon. Also ruthless in going for the fastest way to get Katherine and Elizabeth to his side. I totally wasn't expecting Will going for that angle but wow.

I also loved it didn't fuck him or anything, her probably being his sister, bc he has so much bigger problems going on. The fact that Katherine essentially killed herself trying to kill him in vain being one of those, alongside the whole being Sarcean Reborn thing.

lts just soo funny, bc all those traditional YA who are like, Sebastián from Shadowhunters you know? The villain who is obssesed with the female protag is also like her brother or something, and its proof that the chara is terrible, but they had a chance once, but ugh incest and they need to die, etc etc.

Only here is our protag, Will, who has so much going on, the brief detour for heterosexuality town bc Lady and him were a thing in a past life and "mother lookalike also tried to murder me" trauma is more interesting in what it says of him than the fact Katherine was kinda his sister.

Poor Katherine had to die bc this isn't a classic YA story with her as the heroine in distress with the dashing villain who tempts her. This is Will story and we only need her little sister, who is a more interesting adversary as a 10 year old seeing through his bullshit that Kate could be.

#my thoughts #dark rise trilogy #will kempen #meta #katherine kent #would not say no to a fic that explored like what if Kate didn't follow will and didn't realise he was the dark king #so she has to confront that's her bro and that will is interested in James #bc of all the povs hers is the only one so into the normative view of things? #another reason she didn't survive book 1 #but itd be kinda fun seeing her fussing over everything and the rest of the group looking at her like she's the mad one #yes girls can wear trousers and fight #marriage what marriage? #queerness is also OK #as long as you aren't for the dark of course #honestly just a little one shot bc I think the series is better without her in it #but I just want Kate reaction to Will being related to her and also bi in a situationship with James #for the funsies #dark rise

should i have gone to sleep? yep. did i instead read imogen obviously in one sitting (lying in my bed)? you bet.

#imogen obviously #WOW that was a good book 5 stars #gretchen does embody my fears that i had a tear ago #the last couple chapters hit me hard #it’s not my *exact* experience - there’s no christian identity stuff which is a major part of my journey #but i don’t have to be fully reflected in something to relate to it and feel seen #i mean. everyone’s unique anyway so it’s not like we can be exactly seen in a story #but gosh. the fear i felt that i was bi as a pick-me or a people-pleaser #or thinking ‘i only like one girl’ or ‘i like her bc i think she’s queer’ when i’ve actually liked girls before that #two things #1. becky abertalli the author you are #2. i really want to write a queer christian story. because that is me and i want people like i was to know they are loved and not sinful #(for this) and it’s okay to be confused and scared and to pray. #sorry kinda made these tags about me lol
