INTERSECTIONS AND CONNECTIONS AND SHARED EXPERIENCES#we are FRIENDS but also its making me feel all . What If She Pronouns. What If More Nonbinary Than I Thought...#cos the thing IS as a bisexual i do feel like my sexuality and gender identity are so intertwined its sometimes annoying#so i cannot think of it as like Ah Yes I Like Men Therefore Im a Homosexual#its a like. i like EVERYONE therefore i am EVERYTHING cos ALL my attraction feels Gay with a capital G#im gay for women im gay for men im gay for everything in between and outside#but i dont see my attraction to women as attraction to the opposite gender cos i dont see women as Opposite or necessarily separate#and vice versa i dont see my attraction to guys as . excuse the outdated language - 'same sex attraction'#because i dont necessarily see myself as A Man . yknow?#the binary is fucked identity is everchanging and ever molding and i am just a little wavelength of light floating through space#THEREFORE. idk where i was going with this#i just think that queerness and humanity are so much more complicated than any of us realise#and sometimes it is so frustrating and tiring seeing other people like me and wjth the same experiences as me#being so conservative and so assuming and trying to generalise something so personal#i am not Doing Trans Wrong . there is no wrong to be trans imo#and i also think we need to be kinder to detransitioned people + transmasc lesbians / transfem gays + nonbinary bisexuals ok thanks bye

here are some harmful aro stereotypes 💚🤍🩶🖤
Tumblr media
there are probably so many more stereotypes, but those are the ones that i see more often! also i already posted same post about bisexuality, so check it out —> here.
aros are heartless — most people think that, because they assume aromantics do not love, they love. they can love their family, their friends, their pet or even themselves (this one is specifically for my afamilial & aplatonic folks). there is so much more complexity to love than romantic love and anyone who puts romantic love above all else is lame. like im sorry, but romantic love isn’t somehow better from self-love or love to your friends or family.
aro and ace are the same — this is also about asexuality, but aro ≠ ace. i see some people use the term asexual to describe both the aro & ace experience and to me it makes no sense since they’re completely different things. aro & ace can co-exist and one person can be on both spectrums, but that doesn’t mean all people are the same, not all aros are ace, not all aces are aro. so what is aro & ace? both are a spectrum. if you are aromantic you do not feel romantic attraction OR feel it under certain circumstances only (ex. when you know someone well, when someone likes you you like them back or until someone likes you back you like them). if you’re asexual that means you do not feel sexual attraction OR only feel it under certain circumstances.
aros can’t date — aros can in fact date, some people on the arospec experience attraction (rarely or under certain circumstances) so it makes sense they can date. there are also aros that do not experience romantic attraction, some date even though they do not experience the same feeling. they can like the person, care for them deeply and affectionately, but it is simply not romantic love, but they can chose to date the person. not all aros are loveless or romance repulsed.
i can ship xyz, aros can date — this is targeted tbh, i keep seeing people bring this up in Yelena Belova discourse about her aromanticism, while it is true aros can date, some chose not to, some are simply not interested in it and if a character in canon is showing no interest in romance or is repulsed by it, they don’t need to be fixed, they don’t need to be put in a relationship, they can just exist in peace. i especially dislike allos shipping aro/ace characters because they just see them as allo at that point, like im sorry, but they don’t give a shit about aros if they can’t listen to them explaining why you shouldn’t ship a specific aro character.
aros aren’t valid — bs. just bs. they are valid, whether you’re a man, a woman, a gender outside of the binary, whether you’re asexual as well or not, whether you want to date or not, you are valid as long as the definition applies to you!!! honestly here’s how i can explain being aro: if you are straight you are only attracted to opposite gender, so you don’t like same-sex, so just like you don’t like same-sex, aro’s don’t like same-sex & opposite gender.

I'm the anon who asked all the curious questions about sexuality and gender!
First off, just to answer your question about what it might mean to be "a guy in a girl way" - So this can obviously mean a lot of things for a lot of different people, and if I were to get into the nitty gritty we could be here all day :P
But actually I was trying to express my situation in "cishet" language. So I'm agender. I'm afab. I use he/him and I am most comfortable with being thought of and referred to as if I was a guy.
But for all intents and purposes people are going to assume that I'm a woman if they don't know otherwise. I'm androgynous sure, but I'm petite to a fault, and never transitioned physically in any way, so to most people who meet me casually, they will assume that I'm a slightly androgynous and gnc woman.
I am polyamorous, and one of my partners is a mostly cishet dude. I know that he most likely wouldn't be (sexually) into me if I was a cis guy. But then again, I am not a cis guy. And I don't question his love or attraction, or respect for my gender. But I do insist that him being with me makes him at least "a little bit bisexual".
It's obviously very complicated, and like. I really respect that you sat down and learned about the community and the terminology etc despite how it might not be a huge part of your life. That's very valuable, and in and of itself, it's a very refreshing and healing thing.
I think the value of allyship is too often understated. Up to and including by the notion that if you are a true ally, you must be some kind of queer in denial.
That said, I do think that to be a true ally (and I think you are in this process!) it's necessary to acknowledge (as you do) that the categories and labels are all just approximations. This includes "cis het". It's ok to have these moments of confusion and just take them for what they are, because at the end of the day human experience is messy and complicated. It doesn't have to threaten your identity as such, because the identity is just the label you currently feel comfy with.
So for example if we met and you didn't know me well (as a co-worker or whatever), you might find me attractive thinking I was a cute lady. If you then asked me out and I knew you were cishet I would probably gently explain that I'm not your type/it wouldn't work for me.
If you met me knowing beforehand that I'm a dude who looks a bit weird, you might not feel the same attraction because your brain has put me in the box of "dudes".
But then if you got to know me and we became close or something, you might start to feel attraction based on liking me as a person and me looking the way I do. And then you might feel bad for it, because you would feel that this attraction means you don't respect my gender or something.
Obviously we are likely not going to meet so that's a completely hypothetical example, but in the latter scenario I would actually take your attention way more seriously. And I think so should you (if a similar situation ever arose).
Because attraction based on knowing a person intimately transcends gender and at that point I wouldn't care so much that you wouldn't be physically attracted if I was a cis guy. I'd be like, well he knows me and I know him, we like each other, and if we get to add freaky sex to the mixture it's a win-win.
Because misgendering is more about dehumanizing. The need to reduce me to my physical body. Somehow?
Anyways I'm literally rambling and I'm being embarrassing all over your inbox, sorry ^^""
Anyways uhhh. Keep swimming, little shark. I will shut up, sorry
Honestly these discussions just make me want to abolish gender. Everyone should just be attracted to whoever and have consensual relations with whoever :3
In the meantime I’ll keep trying to be as good an ally as I can be

Hey Cas, I’m looking for some advice (if you’re okay to give it, feel free not to)
So for reference, I’m an afab teen but lately I swear I’ve been questioning literally everything.
I know this is normal etc. but I really would just like to figure something out for once instead of questioning for years. I’m somehow questioning my gender and sexuality and I just want to stop stressing about it
My dilemma is mostly about my sexuality. Because I could totally see myself with a girl, I don’t think I would have any qualms about that. I mean, sure, I’d be confused but still. And I think I could like a boy? But I can only ever envision myself with a boy as a boy as well? I think I could also see myself as a boy with a girl. But I don’t know if the reason is because I really hate the representation of straight relationships in media etc where the guy has so much more power and influence etc. over the girl and all that (I’ve also had a couple of bad experiences with boys (mostly in primary and middle school, thankfully) not taking no for an answer when the asked me out and keep pursuing for literal years), so I don’t know if that’s influencing my perception.
There’s also a trans boy at my school, who just looks so… cool? And happy, free? And idk, I was just kind of envious of him for a minute before I sort of caught myself and now I’m so confused. I’ve always hated the way I look, but I always thought that would be more to do with not conforming to beauty standards, but thinking back it might’ve been gender dysphoria (to this day, I genuinely will cry when I have to try clothes on for too long and it often just feels… wrong? But I also hate the feeling of clothes so ???).
I’ve thought that maybe I’m non-binary, but there’s not much point in trying to identify with that as while my parents would definitely support me, I don’t think they really get the whole ‘gender is a spectrum’ thing or much else, and behind my back might be a bit like ‘they’re pushing the gay agenda on you’. And idk, maybe it is cos I can’t seem to see myself as… not gay???
I’m sorry for the sort of rant and if this doesn’t make coherent sense. I think I sort of needed to write things out. But if you have any advice it would be much appreciated. I’m sure you have so many people telling you this but scrolling through your advice is genuinely so helpful (and your microfics are awesome too!)
I also saw you were naming your anons, and I might come back with another question, so you can call me dictionary anon if you want, as my favourite thing to read is the dictionary.
Hi! <3 it sounds like you have a LOT going on in your brain right now, so let's try to piece some of it out, okay? I'm gonna give you some sexualities, genders, stuff like that, and I want you to think about how they feel for you.
So for sexualities, I think you should look at both bisexual and pansexual. Bisexual means that you are attracted to two or more genders, but gender is a factor. Pansexual means that you are attracted to people regardless of gender. You focus more on personality (and, of course, looks, to a certain extent).
For genders, think about bigender, genderfluid, demigender, and genderqueer. Bigender means you identify with two or more genders; genderfluid means your gender fluctuates depending on the day or certain situations, demigender means you have a loose connection to one gender, and genderqueer is a vaguer term meaning you just...don't have a traditional relationship with gender. When you say there's not much point in trying to figure out your gender, I don't necessarily think that's true.
Obviously, it's your decision and I respect it, but I think there's a lot of help in knowing more about who you are, even if you aren't in a space to share it. Whether or not you have a label (you absolutely don't need one), maybe deciding on things you like/dislike when you come to gender? Because you shouldn't...force yourself to think of yourself a certain way just to appease others.
I think it could be helpful for you to kind of...look at these terms and decide if they fit for you. But ALSO, it's okay if you don't know right now. It's okay to just say, "I feel like a girl right now." or "I like THAT boy." That's completely valid.
The last thing I'd encourage you to think about is something called 'gender envy,' which it sounds like you might be feeling for the trans boy at school. Gender envy is where you see someone and they're just so...gender. Like either their expression or their identity or just their confidence in their gender makes you want that. Conan Gray gives me BIG gender envy. So if you are feeling gender envy, ask yourself why? Is it because you want to also be more masculine? Is it because you want to be confident in your identity like he is? Either way, gender envy can help you understand your own gender.
If you need help talking through any of this, I'm always here- I know it can be a lot. Remember that the most important part is that you (safely) figure out who you are. Even if you can't label it, exploring your identity is awesome, and I'm proud of you for doing that!
<3 <3 <3

apple blossom :   how does your muse go about expressing or not expressing their sexuality ?
PHEW that's a COMPLICATED one, for a lot of reasons!
So, up until very recently, I identified as asexual, and grey-romantic. When I created Illyria, it was with the express idea that I wanted to explore a character who is a lot more sexual than me; who is completely allosexual and alloromantic, and confidant about that. Illy is loudly and proudly bisexual; but for her, sex is very casual. It's just another fun interesting thing one can do with friends, there's nothing special or sacred about it. She's blunt and forthright about sex and sexuality, in a way that some of her friends find kind of awkward.
Ryuu... ha. Ryuu was based on a self-insert I made up when I was like, 15/16 years old. I re-tooled her as mostly ace but sapphic, in the way of "not sexually attracted to people, but romantically attracted to women, and willing to have sex with women." That... all changed over the course of RP with my RP partner, when poor Ryuu (... and myself) got "... shit, I'm bisexual" plus "... shit, is this what sexual attraction feels like!? oh no" She's still not terribly comfortable about expressing her sexuality around anyone but her partners (currently Y'shtola and Kian, her co-WoL)
Seshat: Seshat is so damn new and based on my Guild Wars 2 toon. GW2!Seshat was completely aro-ace and Seshat will probably end up the same. Every time I think about "who would I ship her with" I'm like "That cat doesn't have a sexual thought in her fluffy orange cat head."
Hyperion: Ryuu's Ancient. Hyperion liked to put on a pretense of Yep I'm a Totally Normal Guy in Normal Ancient Society, while... secretly changing his sex/gender all the time to see if anyone even noticed. When everyone has to wear the same clothes and masks and hoods, turns out, nobody does. It was a little game he played. Luckily for him, his wife thinks that's hot as hell.
Dionysos: Illyria's Ancient. Dionysos is based not just on Dionysus, but also on Diogenes and the Cynics. Unlike Hyperion, Dio never once bothered to hide or pretend that they were Normal, and in fact in their youth they were briefly Altima before being exiled for writing seditious plays (when they're not Azem, anyway). They were extremely lucky to *only* be exiled and not just executed; Emet-Selch was instrumental on arguing for their exile and not execution (the man was young, recently appointed, and still really liked Dio's plays. Even the seditious ones. Maybe especially the seditious, salacious ones...). Dio was the kind of person to have public sex just to scandalize people and to make rhetorical points about problems with Ancient society.

Sc intros: faeries Yoni, Karim, Sarika
Tumblr media
Made with this picrew Name: Yoni [etym. Sanskrit: womb or vagina; it is the symbol of the goddess Shakti in Hinduism] Gender: female Race: faery Age: 32 (life expectancy of faeries up to 50) Defining looks: stern look, hard facial expressions, carefully coiffed wavy white hair, lilac skin, butterfly ears, noble clothing Character: power-hungry, righteous, sarcastic, clever, emotionally suppressed Backstory: build a religious cult around herself to stay in power longer; is worshipped by the fairies as a sex goddess Motto: "I will protect my Queendom at any cost." Magic: The faery Queen can shrink other beings down to their size (faerys are 10-15 cm small) Sexuality: pansexual Lovers: all her subjects
(Spoilers ahead! tw: sexual abuse) When Yoni learns about the sexual abuse, she sends Isobel away because even though the fairies believe in polyamory and free love, they value consent, communication and care in intimate relationships and sex orgies. The punishment was the morally right thing to do, but she also did it to protect the good reputation of her Queendom.
Tumblr media
Made with this picrew Name: Karim [etym. Arabic: generous or noble person]
Gender: male Race: faery Age: 28 Defining looks: tall, long black hair, narrow eyes, strong jawline Character: impatient, gentle, morally ambiguous, submissive, vigorous, wicked, devoted, co-dependant Backstory: always does what Isobel asks him to do because he is devoted to loving her, even though she treats him badly. Motto: "I will worship Isobel like a dog at the shrine of her lies." (yes, this is a quote from Hozier's "Take me to church", come after me) Magic: can defend himself with shock waves (male faeries have less intuitive magic than female faeries) Sexuality: bisexual Lover: Isobel, the evil faery
Tumblr media
Made with this picrew Name: Sarika [etym. Hungarian diminutive of Sarah, which originates in Hebrew and means "princess, lady-like"] Gender: female Race: faery Age: 12 Defining looks: blue hair, big round eyes, Character: empathetic, quirky, shy, independent, morally good Backstory: her parents don't know they are her parents because they procreated during an orgy; she grew up with other faerie children and learned to care for herself from a young age Motto: "I can feel what you feel." Magic: empath; can feel others feelings when touching them and also slightly change their emotions to another nuance

MEET KYRO !
Tumblr media
if you’re hearing KINGS NEVER DIE by EMINEM playing, you have to know KYRO LEE (HE/HIM; CIS MALE) is near by! the THIRTY-ONE year old PROFESSIONAL BOXER has been in denver for, like, 31 years (part-time). they’re known to be quite SELF-CRITICAL, but being KINDHEARTED seems to balance that out. or maybe it’s the fact that they resemble CHARLES MELTON. personally, i’d love to know more about them seeing as how they’ve got those BLOODY KNUCKLES, A FALLING CROWN, BAND-AID OVER EVERY CRACK, FLOWERS GROWING IN LUNGS vibes. and maybe i’ll get my chance if i hang out around the CHERRY CREEK long enough!
basic info.
NAME: kyro lee
AGE: thirty-one
BIRTHPLACE: denver, colorado
CURRENTLY RESIDES: splits his time between denver & new york
BIRTHDAY: july 29th
ZODIAC: leo
GENDER: cis male
PRONOUNS: he/him
SEXUALITY: bisexual
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: single
OCCUPATION: professional boxer
CURRENT TITLES: wba cruiserweight champion
[ tw: heart attack/death ]
• Kyro was born and raised in denver. While his mother and father had split by the time he was three, the two remained good friends and had a great co-parenting relationship. Though most of his time was spent with his mother as his father was often away training.
• Kyro’s father was a world famous boxer who held a number of titles, including heavyweight champion a number of times. From a very young age it was made clear that he hoped Kyro would follow in his footsteps, and for as long as Kyro can remember, this has always been his own goal too. While the two had a great relationship, Kyro often felt suffocated by the elders expectations. Expectations that he now destroys himself with.
• Sadly his father suffered a fatal heart attack three years ago and passed away as a result. Ever since then Kyro has been pushing himself towards the goals he and his father set out for him. While already a household name in boxing, he wants to become the best of the best, and dominate the industry.
• He splits his time currently between denver where his mother resides, and new york where he prefers to be when he’s getting prepared for a fight. His family is the most important thing in his life aside from his career, and everything that he does is for them. Being able to buy his mother a house is by far the greatest accomplishment of his life. He has a few half siblings, but his youngest sister Leona who is six, is the apple of his eye.
HEADCANNONS
• he is honestly such a sweetheart. while at times he can appear intimidating, he would honestly take the shoes off his own feet to give them to someone who needed them. his mother raised him to alway be humble and grateful for what he has.
• cat lover. but he currently doesn’t have one because he doesn’t have the time to dedicate to a pet.
• genuinely loves being in love but doesn’t ever seem to be able to keep a relationship because he can’t help but to prioritize his career and not many are able to handle that.
• is always the shoulder to cry on but wouldn’t dare cry on anyone else’s about his own problems because he prefers to let them fester until he reaches breaking point.
• boxing has opened up a lot of doors for him and in some ways he has a mild celebrity status, doing interviews/appearances and modelling too. though he still gets confused if anyone asks for a photo or an autograph.
POSSIBLE / WANTED CONNECTIONS
high school sweetheart — someone from denver, probably a very cute and innocent past relationship that just fizzled out after high school as they both took different paths. must be from denver!! most definitely his first love and the one that set the standard for how he treats the people he’s with. very fond memories and always a potential to rekindle something !
ex boyfriend — the person he was most serious with but once his career took off he struggled to find the balance and they split because of it. potentially still lingering feelings there or perhaps a little resentment. or maybe both.
best friend — another person that keeps his feet on the ground and reminds him to breathe. this would be the person he confides in most (though still not that much lmao) though he doesn’t need to because they know him inside out.
half-siblings — i imagine his mother and father both went on to have other children and would love some sibling vibes. his mother is white and his father korean, so please keep this in mind!
casual hook-ups / gym-buds / friends !!
please feel free to message me if you’d wanna explore any of these or have anything else in mind I’d love some connections!

HIIII
so.
i'm in love with one of my best friends.
to set the whole scene: i'm in a friendgroup which includes me and 4 other people.
there's me, a genderqueer person, who's... idk bout my sexuality, i'm just queer in general
there's A, A is genderfluid, uses all pronouns and is sapphic
there's B, B is a demigirl lesbian
there's C, idk what is C's gender identity or sexuality, but she uses he/she
and there's D, D is a bisexual trans boy/demiboy, i'm not sure, he came out as trans, but when he heard about the term demiboy for the first time he said that it sounds pretty much like him, so... idk. but he uses he/him.
i'm in love with A. i'm so fucking in love with her. they are literally the smartest, prettiest, most perfect person in the whole world. i love him so so so much. and - please be proud of how brave i am - i told them that.
i mean, not the whole thing, that could be a little too much, but in general they knew that i like someone and then i told her that i have a crush on her. yeah. and he likes me back!!!
HE LIKES ME BACK
SHE HAS A CRUSH ON ME
AAAAAAAAAGH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
sorry, i had to scream about it a little.
we aren't together or anything, cos:
we are still kids, at least i am. i feel like i'm still a kid and i'm not quite ready for a relationship
i know that if we would get together now we would probably break up quickly and i don't want to risk our friendship cos we know each other for years and she's really important to me
remember B? B is A's best friend. like, the best of best friends. and B's also my best friend. i don't think that i'm B's best friend, cos her best friend is probably A, but she's really important to me. so, how is B connected to me and my relationship with A? well. B is in love with me. i know. i know. that's not very practical. but unfortunately that's the truth. B is in love with me. and from all the crushes that exist in my friendgroup (C also had some crushes on people in this friendgroup, but that's not the main theme here so i'm not going to focus on that) i think that B's is the most serious one. from what i know she really likes me. i think that she also is the only person from the weird triangle that i, A and B create that is actually ready for a relationship. and both me and A don't want to hurt her, so even if we wanted a relationship it wouldn't be possible because of how much we care about B and her emotions and stuff like that.
ugh.
fuck it.
i kinda wish that me and A could be something more. not a full relationship-we're-together-we-go-on-dates-and-kiss-and-stuff couple, but just... idk. i wish that we would spend more time together, cos we NEVER spend time alone, like, only the two of us. and i hate it so much cos i'd LOVE to spend more time with them. i'd love to. but i just don't know what to do with all this shit.
when we spend time it's usually with our whole friendgroup or with B. since he and B are really close i always feel bad when i spend time with them two cos i feel like i'm a second choice to everyone and then i'm scared that i'm toxic because of the fact that i'm jealous of their relationship.
sorry for the rant. i just don't really have anyone to talk about all of this with.
i hope that this counts as sapphic even though neither me, A or B are actually girls
well that is definitely quite the story anon, the only advice i can give is that, you are all young, it can go everyway imaginable so you can either try to do something about it or let it wither away

I’m not going to get into the catalyst behind this post cuz it's a mess and also this is probably not super coherent because I’m pissed BUT I really think these days the queer community could use a bit of a refocus on is the concept of coming out or being outed.
Like I know we're barely better off than we were even just ten years ago and lots of us live in blue-leaning places or have supportive families and we've been spoon fed a steady diet of "being in the closet is shameful bcs you're hiding who you are and it's better to live your truth(tm)" and "if you don't list your sexuality/gender somewhere you aren't allowed to talk/write about xyz topic" and “only queer people can play queer people” bullshit to the point that we now feel comfortable demanding actors and writers disclose their orientations lest they be canceled, but y'all need to remember that being queer is an incredibly personal thing that can change every single aspect of your life for the rest of your life, and because of that absolutely NO ONE should EVER feel obligated to out themselves when they don’t want to.
Because I don’t care how progressive your city/community is or how cool your family is or how rich you are, coming out as queer will change your life. It will change how people talk to you, how they treat you, how your family treats you, how your co-workers treat you, where you can live, what sorts of jobs you can take, how SAFE you are from day to day, it will change EVERYTHING. And sure, some of those changes might be for the better, and if you’re really lucky there might not even be that many changes at all, but it still will change things and even potentially put your life in danger, and you have a right to look at all that and say “no thanks”. Not now, not to these people, not to my family, not to my co-workers, not to the strangers around me, maybe not ever to anyone at all. That is a choice that every single queer person has the right to make and no one, ESPECIALLY OTHER QUEER PEOPLE, should get to take that choice away from us.
Like argh this is part of why I’m so defensive of ‘Love, Simon’, as sanitized and imperfect as it is. The part of the film where Simon gets outed to the ENTIRE SCHOOL against his will is so painful and honest because if you have ever had the choice of when and where and who to come out to taken away from you you then KNOW that pain. It’s horrible and humiliating and terrifying and no one should EVER have to go through that. And that’s also why it enrages me that the author of the books FELT THE NEED TO OUT HERSELF AS BISEXUAL WHEN SHE WASN’T READY TO GET THE PEOPLE SAYING SHE WAS WRONG TO WRITE STORIES ABOUT QUEER PEOPLE WHEN SHE WAS “STRAIGHT” OFF HER BACK. God, if that doesn’t piss you off I don’t even know what to say.
(And it’s ALSO why I hate people speculating about what internet celebs might be gay or trans eggs or whatever like fucking christ just leave people ALONE.)
Yes, I get wanting there to be more queer people. I get wanting famous people you like to be queer too. I think someone coming out is something to celebrate! It can be beautiful and empowering and validating, it can help other people come to terms with their own identities, especially if the person is famous, but coming out is never really all positives. It won’t magically make your life perfect, it always comes with losses, with dangers, with changes, and we need to remember that before we come for another “straight” actor until they out themselves to get us to leave them alone.
Being openly queer is personal and life-changing and DANGEROUS and coming out is an incredibly personal choice that should always be left to the person in question. You are not owed someone’s sexuality or gender identity. No one is obligated to tell you, or anyone, that. There are LOADS of times when being openly queer is dangerous and scary and it’s normal to want to keep yourself safe if you can. Maybe we do hide in the closet sometimes, but not from ourselves, we’re taking refuge because we live in a world that isn’t made for us, full of people that hate us and will treat us differently, and if we aren’t ready to step outside of it WE DON’T HAVE TO.
No one owes you anything, so leave other people the fuck alone.
- Signed, A queer person who is going to have to hide every aspect of her sexuality and gender identity when she drops off her ballot this year because she lives in a hell state that says armed independent "observers" are allowed to hang out at ballot drop boxes and intimidate anyone who looks like they might vote against the candidate saying she wants to round queer people up and put them in camps.

Sexuality Headcanon: He’s sooooo bisexual it’s crazy he has that bisexual color scheme going on toooo
Gender Headcanon: Gnc as fuck he's so nonbinary
A ship I have with said character: Him and his lame ass boyfriend Dustin of course. He meets Dustin for the first time and thinks to himself  ‘What’s up with this stupid white kid?’ and then he falls in love with him. Then he compartmentalizes his feelings for both Dustin and Lilith and tries to justify staying with Lil because he doesn’t want to ‘abandon’ her when he’s crushing on someone else (someone that his girlfriend hates, too) and he starts overthinking the whole thing and Dustin’s sitting next to him like “Ay man can you finish showing your work for this calculus problem so I can copy off you?” Also this is my favorite song I relate to Dustin/Dirk shhhh
i hate that big ass embed help
A BROTP I have with said character: I love him and Lilith being besties in the same but different way I think Angela and Dustin areeeeeee, but it’s also the reason I can never think of a reason they break up but I’ve been thinking of them having a really bad co-dependent relationship just because I feel as if Lilith has a clingy personality? And I feel like Dirk has a semi-avoidant personality and a savior complex at the same time and really has trouble articulating how he feels about things.  I also like him being friends with Ophelia and Johnny and Ripp <3
A NOTP I have with said character: None tbh maybe Angela but that’s just because Angela is a lesbian in my mind and I just feel like they have no chemistry. I don’t even think they’re really friends even though they take a lot of the same classes and see each other outside of school a lot.
A random headcanon: Dirk is the type of person I feel like he’s a fixer and that’s why he likes Dustin and Lilith so much. He’s a control freak in a sense where he hates when people don’t do things to help themselves when they have the ability to do so (like his dad) and it just makes him anxious and stressed out that he has to pull all the weight in his relationships. He also internalizes and represses his own feelings for the most part because he’s everyone's rock and he really hates talking about himself, and all that anxiety and pent up anger inadvertently causes his breakup with Lilith. I also headcanon that he has autism (along with Darren) <33
General Opinion over said character: Lmao I named myself after him that tells you all you need to know I loveeeee the Brokes and Dreamers so much I wish they had more personality especially Dirk who I feel like has nothing going for him but tutorial bait, but it’s ok because i <3 projecting. I think Dirk is way more bitcher and snarkier than most portrayals I see of him
Dustin Broke
Sexuality Headcanon: Dustin Broke….gay boy………. Sometimes i like him bisexual as a little treat because Angela/Dustin makes my heart soft ngl
Gender Headcanon: I hit him with the transgenderfication beam and there’s no cure. He doesn’t call himself trans though he doesn’t really know what being trans one day he just started going by a bunch of different names and dressing more ‘masculine’ or whatever and no one ever said anything because they still think he’s grieving over his dad and that it’s just a ‘phase’
A ship I have with said character: Dustin/Dirk literally is everything to me and I’ve loved them together for as long as I’ve been a premades fan tbh. It’s just something about them and their parallels, which is probably unintentional on Maxis’ part tbh; fire and water, dead parents, jock and nerd  enemies to lovers pairings like it rerouted my brain chemistry. I don’t think Dustin realizes right away that he has feelings for Dirk because he’s focused on the future he thinks he’s going to have with Angela when he finally gets to where he needs to be money-wise. When Angela breaks up with him (after deliberating for a long time, because my Angela is lesbian and she just felt wrong being with him even though she loves him soo much), Dustin spirals just a little bit just a normal amount (ends up back in jail) and he starts hanging out with Dirk more and getting to know him and he starts catching feelings but he really doesn’t know how to address them because this is only the second person he’s ever had these feelings for and he doesn’t want to make anything weird. There’s so many different ways they can end up together, but I don’t feel like they would rush anything I think they’d just crush on each other secretly and never confess their feelings because they’re dumb. Also this is them
Tumblr media
A BROTP I have with said character: Angela is his best friend they’re connected at the hip they’re so close and spend almost every day together at Angela’s house even though Daniel hatesss it so much (when Dustin gets over his insecurity about how his home is vs Angela’s, they start spending more time at his place). I feel as if they genuinely have/had feelings for each other due to how much time they spend together and I feel they start ‘dating’ because of this (I also headcanon that they’ve kissed before when they were kids but it doesn’t really count…). I don’t think Dustin had a lot of friends growing up because of being lower income and also he’s just kind of a weirdo. Angela also was the first person to support Dustin’s social transition, and was generally very supportive of him even when she didn’t understand (and still doesn’t really..). I have a lot of things to say about their friendship/relationship but it only makes sense in the context of this story I was writing and in my brain maybe I’ll make another post about it and let it run free idk sometimes when im typing stuff like right now I overthink and start feeling very insecure and embarrassed what I say and I end up procrastinating over something that’s supposed to be fun? Idk sorry for putting this in such a random spot to vent I just have a special attachment to my interpretation of these premades and I just hope the things i say aren’t cringy.
A NOTP I have with said character: I don’t think Dustin and Lilith could ever like each other tbh I think Lilith talks shit about him all the time to Dirk calling him dirty and nasty and white trash and Dirk meets him for the first time and yeah he looks dirty but he also looks lame as hell so every time Lilith talks about him after this he can only imagine this lame ass wet dog man so he just says “Alright babe” with no further input.
A random headcanon: Dustin is very family-oriented and does a lot of what he does because he thinks it’s helping his mom out. He skips school to try and make more money trapping and he’s been caught up so many times and been held overnight in jail twice and it pisses Brandi off so bad because she feels like he’s throwing his life away but he doesn’t want to push him too hard because her mom pushed her and tried to control her life and she ended up pregnant at 17 so… but at the same time they’ll have little spats and arguments over school which gets to Dustin because he’s the only one making money for them to make it. He loves dogs a lot and feeds any animal that he sees around his neighborhood. When he gets married to Dirk, they adopt one dog but then he ends up bringing home random strays he finds and they end up with like. 5 dogs total and 1 cat. I also think he’s really good at drawing but it’s not something he takes seriously!!
General Opinion over said character: My number one day one premade I love him so much very normally like a normal person <3  I love his Maxis look he has that ugly boy swag and I think he deserves so many good things even though he’s a lame boy

But it ain’t no lie, baby BI BI BI (ballpoint pen drawing) ~
(06/2022)
I’ve been wanting to do a visual representation of my bisexuality for a while, so here’s a piece to reflect my feelings regarding attraction and gender! 
I’m gonna go a little bit more into the meaning of this piece here, as well as a little bit of my creative process! 
so my mum recently brought back some purple and pink ball point pens that the school she works at were throwing out (despite the fact they still work perfectly well smh...) & I figured they’d be perfect for me doing some kind of bi pride themed artwork! 
below was my initial sketch btw! I knew I wanted 3 heads each in one of the 3 colours of the bi flag, and I knew I wanted them to sort of blend into one another, although I think I originally was planning to have them be more in the order of the flag (but I like my final piece and how it looks like the purple figure is coming out of the pink and blue figures!) 
Tumblr media
after this I went to my tumblr likes (since that’s where I keep a whole load of inspirational stuff in a disorganised pile lol...) to see if I could find some useful references of faces, cos although I didn’t really want the faces to be of anyone, I still wanted to have a base so they at least felt some what realistic lol
Tumblr media
I settled on these three (photoshoot of luca marinelli by tony zecchinelli, kai isaiah jamal for CAP 74024 new romantic obsessions and promo shots of zhu zanjin for the c-drama mystic nine) since I felt all of them had a strong sense of genderfluidity which I wanted for this piece! 
I followed the meaning of the bi flag colours (blue for different gender attraction, pink for same/similar gender and purple for attraction regardless of gender).
the blue section is both a reflection of my own sense of masculinity and my attraction to men/masc people! harsh lines, angles and logic are usually associated with masculinity, so I wanted to include that but with the idea that it isn’t always neat lines or angles, showing the many forms that masculinity can take! 
also did this for the pink section, which is a reflection of my femininity and attraction to women/fem people, which is usually connected to curved shapes, which I made more ‘me’ by amping up the chaos lol... also made them kinda look like cells and wheels, suggesting a kind of fluidity and movement that comes with my feelings of femininity. 
the pink with blue question marks in the blue figure’s eye was me expressing that feeling of confusion that comes with growing up bisexual, and having to come to terms with your attraction to both the opposite and same genders (it’s also to reflect how a lot of people claim that bisexual people are ‘confused’, or even the phrase ‘bi curious’, as if the very existence of bisexuality is something that should be questioned and critiqued... I think it’s honestly this attitude that meant it took me a long time to truly realise and appreciate my sexuality, since I kept believing I had to somehow explain myself again and again... something I still feel the need to do, which was partly why I wanted to make this piece, as a sort of signal to others AND myself that this is who I am and I’m PROUD of that!)
the purple section is more about my concept of genderfluidity, which I represented with a character from chinese opera called a ‘dan’, which was a female character that traditionally was performed by male performers dressed in what is essentially drag (xiran jay zhao did an awesome video where they recreated one of the looks and discussed the history of the character which is really interesting!) drag is something that intrigues me, especially in the way it emulates a purposeful performance of gender, which as a nb person feels particularly interesting to me! 
(also, a lot of my childhood and teenage yrs had a lot of instances with me experiencing ‘drag’ like things in places such as pantomimes, music videos and films (shout out to borstal boy for dressing danny dyer as a woman in that one scene that did SO much for me as a young queer kid ngl lol), so it’s something that I intrinsically link to my sense of identity even if I’ve never actually tried doing drag myself lol)
I used triangles as the motif for the purple section because triangles just feel really genderfluid to me idk I can’t explain it lol (maybe it’s because I used to think love triangles were when three characters had feelings for each other pfft...)
although this is of course a very personal piece, I hope anyone who sees it and is bi feels some of the meaning I poured into it! everyone’s experiences with their gender and sexuality are individual, but there’s a feeling of joy and pride that I think is something we all feel once we’ve finally allowed ourselves to be comfortable with who we are <3
happy pride everyone, especially to all my fellow bisexual and nb peeps, and thank you for anyone who’s read this far lol <3

hmm legolas for the ask game if you haven't done him already? or merry and pippin?
aaaah im so happy i finally got legolas :D thank you so much!!!! ❤️
legolas 🍃
Sexuality Headcanon: one of the few characters i can give a definite answer for!!! hes gay:)
Gender Headcanon: elm tree
A ship I have with said character: gimli!!!!!! legolas had his eyes set on that dwarf from lothlorien on. and he went and got him!!!
A BROTP I have with said character: i love the friendship moments between him and merry and pippin <3 like that moment when he and gimli went to wake up merry and spent time with him so he wouldnt feel too lonely…or when they went to visit merry and pippin at the houses of healing as soon as possible!!! and merry and pippin said that legolas shouldnt go 💔 waaaah
A NOTP I have with said character: aragorn…movie canon, fine i understand. i dont like it but i understand. but book canon?! legolas and aragorn have maybe two interactions!!! theres nothing!!!
A random headcanon: hes the baby of mirkwood!! two older siblings, a sister in law, an aunt, a mom and a dad, two grandmas and a grandpa!! ive been rolling the idea around in my head that he went to elrond without official leave from his father - thranduil wanted to keep everyone inside mirkwoods borders as the lands were getting more and more dangerous and didnt particularly want to send an envoy across the misty mountains that were crawling with orcs. legolas went anyway, partly because of typical. arielle reasons (i want to see more of the world dad!!!!!), partly because its the right thing to do, informing elrond and co of the escapeé. of course thranduil knows that they should send a message. but he values the lives of his people more than the exchange of information!!
General Opinion over said character: i like him so so much. i love him!!! smiling into the face of tragedy and escaping your sad ending by singing a happy song!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ i love him
merry 🧁
Sexuality Headcanon: uuuuuh uhm ummmmm bisexual king. preference for women mb?
Gender Headcanon: trans merry ‼️‼️‼️idk in which direction. its going somewhere!
A ship I have with said character: i think he and his wife can be so cute. estella :]
A BROTP I have with said character: he and pippin are legendary. i also love him and eowyn and him and theoden!!!! and treebeard…and frodo…and fredegar… and sam and and and!!! love and friendship all around
A NOTP I have with said character: ive seen some people ship him and pippin romantically which i think is strange. dont like that
A random headcanon: his wife estella is a painter! it gets merry (lover of categorization) interested in pigments and he writes a book about dyes and pigments, the biggest on that topic in the entire third age<3 also im a big friend of glasses merry!
General Opinion over said character: i like him a lot!!!! my special hobbit friend:)))
pippin 🎆
Sexuality Headcanon: i have literally never in my life thought about this
Gender Headcanon: he lost it 🤷
A ship I have with said character: his wife i guess…
A BROTP I have with said character: bergil!!!! and beregond!!! really cute moments there!! also whatevers going on with gandalf and pippin is so funny
A NOTP I have with said character: what i said for merry
A random headcanon: diamond of long cleeve, his wife, is from a family of hobbits closely associated with dwarves from the blue mountains, hence the themed name (i just know hobbits love doing that). they used to do quite a lot of business with them! but it died down when most dwarves left for erebor. so he and his wife plus some extended family that misses dwarven company eventually travel to visit gimli in aglarond, with some of diamonds aunts/uncles/cousins with a love for mining even staying there :)) since that was more about diamond than pippon heres another one for him: he grows his hair long after the war of the ring ❤️
General Opinion over said character: my boy!!! special and silly <3

Rip and/or Jeff for the character meme?
I will do them both at the same time! Sadly there's not a lot of content for Jeff so, sorry [pensive] FOREWARNING..UM THIS IS REALLY LONG ACTUALLY... so under cut
– Overall opinion of them
Rip: This will be so shocking I'm sure (sarcasm) but Rip is one of my favorite characters. There is something about him being so unknown even to like comics themselves that is SO appealing to me. He is a character that is mostly a blank slate, like sure we know some basic things about him (who one of his parents are, what he does, his morals mostly, etc) but that's it, and I think that just makes him so interesting to think about because he CAN be anything and canon ALLOWS him to be anything you want.
I think though Rip has been done a lot of injustice to his character by making him a lone-wolf type character who only teams up with his father or occasionally another hero for a few minutes. He serves as a plot device more than a character...but once Rip had his own team and friends. It is a disservice to his character to say he does everything alone because he DOESN'T and that's just another interesting thing about him! He needs to keep his life a secret but there's some people he confides in...isn't that cool? there's a lot you can do there.
Jeff: As far as current canon goes, there's not much for Jeff at all even if you consider the 90s Time Masters (which i wouldn't really recommend in itself overall) but somehow he remains a REALLY endearing character to me. I think it's similar to the reason I like Rip, the fact there's not much there but there's a lot you can DO with what is there. Jeff is rips best friend and LAB partner- the CO-INVENTOR of the TIME SPHERE and there is SOOO much you can do with his character. I wish he didn't suffer at the "lone wolf" mentality writers give Rip which led to his erasure.
– Gender/sexuality headcanons
Rip: Transgender man (i actually have a really solid reasoning behind that but also you don't need reasoning to consider characters trans LOL), Bisexual! Jeff: Trans and Bisexual I don't believe in cis time travelers.
– Favorite moment in canon
Rip: ALL OF HIS SCENES IN 52...SORRY I LOVE HIM THERE... But especially I love the vulnerability he shows with Booster in this scene in issue 36
Tumblr media
ORRR I also like this scene from time masters #7 a lot. No words are said but I think it says a lot.
Tumblr media
Jeff: Again sadly not much to choose from with Jeff but I do love most scenes with him in Time Masters #1. it's a really strong introduction to his character and his relationship to Rip as well as his overall wit and that he himself can see more in stressful situations than Rip can.
Tumblr media
Of course there's the scene in the same issue where Jeff and Rip form the Time Masters together...iconic..the energy here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
– Favorite moment in a fanwork
Rip: I HAVE GOT TO SAY LOLLLL...the Time Travel arc in AGKOL by @slettlune is forever iconic to me. I genuinely reread it all the time I just really like the characterization of Rip because he feels like he's treated like more than a plot device! He isn't the main character in the arc but also doesn't feel like he's unimportant which is really impressive. Also there are a lot of intricacies in that 3 chapter arc i love, I wont spoil it if you haven't read it but you really should! Jeff: Um...unfortunately this will sound vain but I have to say my own fanworks that involve Jeff specifically one of my more recent pieces is my favorite. He isn't well known and doesn't get any fanwork mention, i hope that eventually changes.
– Favorite line, in canon or otherwise
Rip: Sorry to post 52 again but I love this line from #50 (i think)
Tumblr media
Jeff: My favorite line from him is from my favorite scene (makes sense right), I just ADOREEE this line it really says a lot.
Tumblr media
also this line from time masters #3 which isn't supposed to be funny probably but is to me.
Tumblr media
– Characters I love seeing them interact with EACHOTHER...ok besides each other. Rip: I want to see Rip interact with Ted SO bad like I cannot describe how bad I want Rip and Ted even in current canon go on a stupid time adventure or talk without Booster. I feel like Rip is too tied to booster in current canon and it really holds him back. Rip's interactions with Booster are really funny though at times.
Jeff: Bonnie! I would love to see Jeff and Bonnie interact again but in a way that treats them respectfully. In generally I want Jeff to interact with ANYONE ...PLEASE. I think a funny Idea would have Jeff interact with some of the league! We see him interact with Booster and Booster say he's heard so much about Jeff from Rip..which I find interesting...I want them to have a conversation.
– Last thing before sleeping headcanons & Sleeping habits headcanons
Rip: I personally think Rip has OCD (this is something i've moreso observed from canon than just a headcanon) and as someone who also has ocd...I think rip would take pre-sleep routines seriously. I think he has to fall asleep the same way or he can't sleep. I don't specifically have a routine for him in my mind but im sure he has one he has to do in order. But again I also think Rip is someone who gets ABYSMAL sleep and has a HORRIBLE sleep schedule. Between time travel, obsessions keeping him awake, and just plain FORGETTING to sleep I think Rip is someone who averagely stays up days at a time without sleeping at all and doesn't even realize it until he's about to fall out. I think when he actually does fall asleep he can pass as a dead body.
Jeff: I haven't thought much about this at all lol but I think he similarly stays up too much but sleeps much much better than Rip does and probably is one of the people who is like "you NEED to go to bed NOW". – First thing after waking up headcanons I think both Rip and Jeff have breakfast routines (mostly i think Rip HAS TO have breakfast or again he will forget how long he's been awake or the passage of time itself. I think breakfast hour is one of the pillars of his routine and keeping himself in check.). I think for both of them as Time travelers that's one of the one things of normalcy they try to keep.
I've drawn them having their breakfast here!
– Favorite locations headcanon
Rip: I think locations is a funny question for a time traveler because I think moreso Rip has a favorite TIME than a favorite PLACE (outside of his home vanishing point), I think Rip's favorite time is the Mesozoic Eras I think he finds pieces he enjoys in all of those time periods because well dinosaurs are cool.
Jeff: I genuinely think Jeff's favorite location is just the lab, inventing things, testing things out. Yes he's a time traveler too but I think there's a security and balance in staying within a place you know and have built the things around you.

gfdhjs i'm so glad to know i'm not the only one who came out the other side of all this discourse going "wait... have i been unlabelled this whole damn time?" (i've had full blown discussions with friends about how anything more specific than queer for the non-aro bit of my sexuality doesn't work for me, and yet somehow it took weeks of this discourse for me to make the connection. booboo the fool hours for real)
IT'S ALL CLOWNERY like if i had to try to summarise it, it'd be like. well okay when i was 13 i identified as bi cos i had my first non-het relationship but then i repressed it and called myself straight throughout high school but then i stuck with bi again in university, and also thought i was cis until my early 20s when i suddenly realised that nonbinary felt far more at home, and for a long time i considered myself agender so when it came to describing my sexuality i had a hard time bc that was the peak of bi vs pan discourse and there seemed to be no clear cut answer about whether or not i could even CALL myself bi if i was agender, and then more time passed and it was like okay people are back to treating bisexuality as being nby/trans inclusive but also am i trans? or 'just' nonbinary (again the result of stupid discourse online) but uh oh i'm feeling a bit more Gender these days so agender isn't quite right, it's more like i'm leaning toward the masc end of things, and maybe i DO consider myself trans after all, also maybe i'll just call my sexuality 'queer' bc i'm tired of trying to finagle a proper label here and i think i still vibe with nonbinary but in a transmasc kinda way, and idk if i have PREFERENCES with regard to what genders i date apart from having more experience with one group but functionally that doesn't really determine how i feel overall, so like,
yeah . IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO FIGURE YOUR SHIT OUT ... i feel like i'm perpetually learning things about myself
^ sorry for the wall of text i was allowing the stream of consciousness to flow

stat is he/him/any nonbinary bi
nine is he/him/any cis(?) pan
praline is she/her cis bi
val is he/she/they intersex nonbinary bi

blondie is cis gay
daisy is cis bi and i don’t like him
spirit is a dog
for a bonus blondies jane is a lesbian :)
actually on a side note blondie would wear one of these for pride
Tumblr media
- mod sloan
Butting in like i always do since it's my male right in this pride month with mine. Most of my jeffs are trans and bi so! Specifics
- Dally is something and biromantic. He doesn't like to think about his gender even though in the server i joke about it, he goes by he/him but if you use she/her he's not gonna correct you but also going to stare at himself in the bathroom mirror almost ripping off the sink.
- Grease is transmasc and bisexual, as a bonus he's also canonically a dad!
- RRH is the same as Grease, transmasc and bisexual and also canonically a father. Which makes it that i have two transmasc deadbeat dad jeffs. Don't know what to do with this realization honestly (ask me about it)
- JD is pansexual and gnc! He doesn't care about gender at all and doesn't worry about how he's presenting.
- Tulpa and the system are unlabeled! They don't really worry about how they present or what they are attracted to. And they're young, so they don't really care about it. Any pronouns work for Tulpy
-Raden is also gnc and aroace! He's the sexiest mfer on this earth
-mod noah
Nathan is GAY gay as hell he has at least four rainbows on him at all time in the form of patches or pins. He's cis and he/him but you can barbie doll him into a pretty pink dress if you want
Pirate is bi and ace but he's like, twelve and hasn't figured that out yet. In his 20s he has a gender crisis but don't worry about it he's totally fine and normal
AJ is gay but has been with women in the past. He's cis but really gnc. He owns skirts and heels, is pretty good with makeup and has probably done drag in the past. His gender doesn't bother him he just does what he feels like
Darcie is trans and gay. He grew up in rural catholic Ireland in the 70s then got eeby deeby'd into the shining hotel so he only recently learned what the word transgender means. He's also homophobic sometimes but it's okay because it's funny
Tino is pansexual, aromantic and intersex. Despite his whole love theme and the amount of relationships he's had he really does not care about the whole thing, it's just a tool to him. Tino will respond to any pronouns but if you ask him what ones he prefers he'll tell you to figure it out on your own
Eddy is aro/ace and cisgender. He doesn't really understand the concept of romantic love and doesn't feel sexual attraction. He's happy with just having really close friends!! :)
BONUS ROUND: Darcie and Louise have four other siblings. One of them, Sean, is bi :)
BONUS BONUS ROUND: Pirate's future au roommate Steve is bi too but he's a COWARD and refuses to leave the closet. I want to hurt him.
-Mod CC
. Squishy is gnc! Rn he doesnt really understand romantic attraction but in his adult life he comes out as gay! Only romantic bc he's stuck with a 15 yo mindset forever
. Kipri is nonbinary and wlw!! Also her father Marcel is pansexual and kisses AJ on the mouth
. Frenchie is queer but it doesn't really matter what exactly how because he bites >:(
. Mike is nonbinary pansexual!
About CC's bonus: i shipped steve and pirate before it was canon 😎
-Mod Kim 🧢 Hi! Mod ez finishing out this round with his characters sexualities! At the very last minute too lol - Andy is GAY he is PAINFULLY gay and he is very repressed about it. If I brought him to a pride parade he would start crying. - His brother Drew is bisexual and in a polyamorous relationship.  - Cas is bi! He doesn’t figure this out for a while though because he’s dumb as hell and forgot that was an option. he’s like i can’t be gay? I like girls? duh? and everyone is like cas i swear to fucking god Shockingly, those are my main lgbt jeffs, with most of my others being straight or unlabeled. Bonus content, RT is straight but would love pride month because he wants to ally as hard as possible.
