some yearning/pining plots i’ve been obsessed w/ lately.....
she’s been watching a lot of slice of life/shojo anime so i don’t wanna hear it :’ )
( mutuals only: PLS feel free to dm me if one calls out to u !!! literally i’m ready to read it and weep )
☼ childhood sweethearts reunited except muse a was the one in love with muse b growing up while muse b dated muse a’s best friend !!!!!! like they literally resigned themselves to being the permanent third wheel ( sounding board for both of them, couples therapist, maybe even in their wedding party depending on the muses ??? ) but now muse b and the bestie are divorced/broken up and both seeking comfort and even tho muse a is still friends with the ex they cant help but shoot their shot with muse b ???? right ????
☼ mentor x mentee ship except for the longest time its just the mentee pining while the mentor sees them as more of a kid sibling ??? but then something happens or time passes and suddenly they start to see their mentee as a ~ romantic interest ~ and are v fucked up abt it !!! and maybe the mentee has moved on or maybe they’re still pining but their mentor is as confusing as always xxx
☼ i love a raincloud x sunshine ship where the sunshine muse is positive that they’re slowly chipping away at the ice around raincloud’s heart just for the walls to go up again and discourage them but it iS actually working and lil raincloud is fighting for their LIFEEEEE
☼ ice prince(ss) who thinks they’re incapable of love and the golden retriever who sees the good in them anyway :’ ) obvi with lots of angst with the retriever trying to get them to lighten up and the ice prince(ss) trying to drive them away so they don’t get hurt !!!!!!! we love an angst of misunderstanding
☼ i’m so obsessed w/ the idea of two people who are clearly in love with each other but their pride is getting in the way so they’re trying to get the other person to admit their feelings first………………… idk it just hits y’all the psychological warfare is g o l d !!!!

Idk how big of a thing this is or anything but it is extremely funny to me how many people I see who headcanon Aziraphale as gay and Crowley as bi (or pan or whatever), or even treat those readings as somehow "canon" (comparisons drawn between Crowley and Dr. Who being "nonbinary pansexual metaphysical beings played by David Tennant" or whatever). It speaks to such a specific fandom stereotyping of bisexual people, especially bisexual men (or man-shaped creatures), that I'd honestly be offended by if I weren't such a living breathing example of it

it is interesting to me that ive seen lately (n yknow this is subjective and likely not any real social force just what ive seen) many queer people simultaneously talking about taking back and embodying unpalatable and ‘unmarketable’ queerness (the recent return to the terms faggot and transsexual come to mind) which i think is pretty evidently shaped by the conservative moment were in of demonizing queer ppl and especially gnc and trans people as predators--it reads as a return to queer isolationism in the face of external hostility, imo--while at the same time ive seen a lot of rallying around the “original” 6 stripe rainbow flag as opposed to any of the purportedly ‘factional’ flags of different queer identities, with the assumption being different identity flags divide us while the rainbow flag encompasses everyone and its kinda fascinating to me bc the rainbow flag is probably the single most marketable and palatable and uncontroversial symbols of queerness which has been seamlessly uptaken by those who wish to sell it back to us as gets pointed out every pride month with all the cringey pride merch....
i dunno you could maybe take that as a point of hypocrisy and claim the queer community is itself in a conservative moment rn where its returning to a sense of history and historical continuity (perhaps even out of that sense of external threat) or even that the queer community has for some time been in a conservative moment given the like, decade of identity discourse and lashing out at any people deemed to not have a sufficiently established history or however we should categorize the bihets/ace discourse/transtrender-tucute discourse/pan discourse/bi lesbians discourse (because lets be frank its essentially all the same discourse just keeping up its momentum by leapfroging from one target to the next) which i think is, like, SOMEWHAT true but not entirely?
its more interesting to me, in any case, as an expression of a conflict the queer community is facing given that current state of affairs RE antitransness and that very recent history. like, the simultaneous need to retreat to a safe sense of community which is welcoming to the very things the outer world is demonizing ie mutable gender, complex or contradictory experiences of gender, gender expression which is hostile to the cis binary, but also the ways in which it has to grapple with those discourses which have largely defined the community infighting for again the past decade. its queer people begging the question ‘how can we make the queer community welcoming to the girlfags and genderfucks and tboys who are being threatened when we have spent so much time making the queer community a hostile place for anyone with a non-conventional or not easily (or even just palatably) sortable sense of queer identity’. and the answer it seems to be grappling with at the moment is like, welcoming all that diversity of experience but being absolutely averse to naming it. yes we love all the fuckery with gender and sexuality never be marketable but like, ew, why are you calling yourself [insert microlabel here]. you can be genderweird but you cant call yourself genderweird. you can only exist as queer in the broadest possible way (the all-inclusive gay pride flag!) but if you try to name the specifics or use those identity labels weve been fighting over for years youre doing it wrong (the progress pride flag is now ugly and cringey and ‘too much’). i think theres something also to the way (at least on this site) transmisogynistic discourses have really taken hold as legitimate (though yknow i wont downplay how much a problem transmisogyny has like. always been in queer spaces no matter what) in the name of protecting n defending trans people. like its just regurgitated transmisogyny but its being mobilized supposedly in the service of helping trans people. idk its definitely getting a little late for me to string this together fully coherently but theres a throughline there, in the ways certain ideas are being consolidated and reified as ‘yes were more progressive now!’ when i think theres definitely something to question there in terms of like...are we? are we actually? are we doing better by the people were trying to help or are we setting strict standards and forcing ppl to adhere to them again?

How many kinseys are you, if you don't mind me asking?
Don't really know honestly, I'm mostly attracted to girls at the moment but I think at least some of that is coincidental. The major axis of attraction for me is not gender, but more proximity to transness. Trans people are so hot.
I think in terms of actually being in a relationship with someone, I don't think I'd mind as long as they understood Gender and I didn't have to explain myself to them.

i need to rant and please don’t ignore all my posts, please pay attention to them.
warning : // homophobia, bullying, r4p3, assault, and a few things.
1), i feel like people don’t understand that i have a hard time liking men and being w men. when i say, i can’t get used to it, they think it’s a joke. they think i’m “joking” when i say, i cannot feel comfortable around them. every time i always think they’re gonna hurt me or beat me up.
2), i also feel like no one is listening to me. i can’t feel attracted to men. i can’t imagine myself having a boyfriend. i can’t picture myself being friends with them. i can’t do ONE thing without thinking negatively. i know not all men are like this and i am NOT generalising them either, it’s just that since i’m severely bullied by most of them, i get really scared thinking they’ll hurt me.
3), due to issues, i don’t understand the difference between sexual attraction and romantic attraction. i know this is stupid but im really confused and i have hard times understanding stuff so im just really ugh. i am sure i identify as aroace bc i just don’t like the attraction and it feels disgusting to me.
4), when boys have a crush on me, i get a ick really quick. when most boys would go up to me and say they got a “crush” on me, i fr cant tell if they’re being fr or lying. most of them don’t even say they’re serious but next thing I know, they talk shit and say horrid things about me. and most of that counts as s3xųal bullying (?) cause they harass me everywhere, hurt me, give me bruises, etc. this is why i cannot imagine myself w a man. i’m frightened.
5), when they act all sweet or when i reject them. if one comes up to me and i say no. they get all angry and start saying “you’re so [remark on how i look]” or “i never liked you anyway [horrid name]”. most of them call me that cause apparently i identify as neurodivergent. even worse. they knew about it somehow???”
6), i HATE how i can’t be w men. i get sometimes board when i only like girls and wish I can ditch labels but I don’t FEEL like that. yesterday, I went hotel and saw this white boy who was attractive. lesbians can find men attractive without wanting to date them right? you know when the realisation hits you cause you can’t feel like that cause that isn’t who you are.
7). i want male validation ofc but i identify as sapphic cause i only like women. but how to become friends w a man without having to feel like you wanna date him but that’s truly how you don’t feel? yeah. pain. comphet is getting my ass 😹
8). i am currently planning to stay single forever. i literally cannot handle myself being scared w men. what happened to me? i used to feel so comfortable w them but the bullying... 😕 + i’ve seen how women get abused and rap3d which scares me even worse. i’ve been sexually touched before by a man and at that same night, i dreamed of being rap3d. for no reason. deadass.
so when that my irls be saying, “you turned yourself gay”, “your fault”, la la la, it ain’t my fault. fuck them and tell them to fix up.
but end of my rant, thank you for listening to all that racket 😹 .

frankly idgaf about this disk horse + mandatory disclosure that im not a cop u can do what u want forever u can usr whatever words u want for urself forever love & peace on planet earth. etc. however it does feel disingenuous to say "dykes & lesbians who r only attracted to women's experiences are not & never will be unique there's no dyke who only is attracted to women experience that isn't also experienced by bi ppl / bi dykes / whoever else" when like... there is very much an alienation involved in growing up or just existing while not being attracted to the gender u are societally supposed to b attracted to. some experiences are not in fact universal. and while the idea of sexuality -specific 'spaces' is fundamentally silly and pointless to me i also think it sucks to say 'there is no lived difference between being a woman who is not attracted to men [or the implied counterpart 'there is no lived difference btwn being a man who is not attracted 2 women] vs being a woman who is." like. maybe for YOU there isn't!!!!!!!!! which is 2 say of course that this does feel like perhaps an aha pouncing on wording! type of post, & i wouldn't make it normally. because. as mentioned. this literally only matters if youre terminally online + real world works differently. & idgaf. but the author of the post im vaguing DOES really have the tone here of 'you are stupid and obviously wrong if you think being a lesbian is any different than being bisexual.' which frankly feels overgeneralizing & vague 2 the point where i'm driven 2 make a stupid little tumblr post about it.

Bisexuality *is* everything in between
Not a super tagged post because this is just an observation and I don't want loads of people to lose their shit over something I haven't even fully decided (if this gets attention, use actual arguments in the replies instead of insults because it just make your point look bad if you can't back it up without calling me stoopid 💖), but when I've talked to the people who defend xenogenders and overspecific mspec labels, I've noticed that a large majority of them default back to one specific argument after actually talking with me about why those identities make sense.
I'm mostly referring to mspec labels with this one, because that's where the argument usually comes in, and it usually comes after bringing up history of bisexuality and what it actually means, as well as analyzing when the sexuality goes away from being determined by gender and trails into personal preferences territory.
Basically, the argument the people I'm talking to tend to usually circle around to "they're just kids figuring themselves out". If anything, that argument sounds like it's only further delegitimizing all this mspec stuff as just an "immature phase/thing that kids do". And, even further, how the hell does it help kids figure themselves out when there are more and more being piled up onto them? Especially when some of them literally have the exact same definition?
Like, as a bisexual myself, I'm well aware of all the nuances in sexual orientation. It took me an abnormal amount of time to just let myself actually be bisexual because my preferences didn't sound like the strict definition of what I was told bisexuality was as a teenager. I think the modern LGBT community has a problem with labels and feeling "out of place" being bisexual when they are indeed bisexual and describe feeling almost guilty about it. I've heard three different people in my own life describing how they feel like calling themselves bisexual isn't enough compared to other people's version of saying "I would date someone regardless of their gender", and they come from all different sides of the mspec debate and still have that similar concern. The nuances don't force you out of being bisexual and into a more obscure and badly defined label, (I thought I was omnisexual for a bit at one point), being somewhere in between homosexual and heterosexual is already a difference on its own, and that should prove that, even though a lot of misinformation goes around with this word, bisexuality is a spectrum. You don't need a word for every single dot on that spectrum, it already has a name for a reason. Plus, sexual orientation is about who you love, not how you do it. It's based on gender, and claiming that polysexuality is an entirely different sexuality than bisexuality is just wrong. Because you love the exact same genders, there are just miniscule differences in how. As if every human doesn't experience a different approach to dating anyway.
Also, I should add, if anyone's thinking about pointing out any hypocrisy here: yes, I also did go through a "figuring myself out" time, and it was much harder than it needed to be. Unlike the people who use that argument, I'm not—and never did—putting out even more false information about pre-existing sexualities (bisexuality, hello), or coming up with more sexual "orientations" that aren't actually orientations at all. And spinning bisexuality into a "parts > hearts" or spreading this idea that they care more about the gender of a person they're dating than the person themselves is just crazy, because there are bisexuals from decades ago who have no idea what you're talking about and are now unknowingly in a weirdly specific box.
