Y'all know how Xiao's letter came attached with a Dream Solvent?
WELL!
According to the lore... A Dream Solvent is formed "If someone dreamed of heaven before waking up clutching a flower, then that blossom must have been made from such a fantasy"
And how Xiao's been dreaming about Lumine, recently..... The point I'm trying to make is... Lumine isn't just Xiao's "sweet dream"
i’m v asexual but. vashwood having sex is so so important to me ok. it’s the intimacy. the trust. the way their bodies are seen as weapons used for destruction but they can ignore that for a little while. they can find another way to put their bodies to use. these hands that are covered in years of blood can be used to make someone else feel good. these hands are not just meant for causing pain and death. they are meant for holding another body under a set of sheets. their scarred bodies are not prisons. life is not just agony. pain is not all there is. you know.
i've been listening to a lot of podcasts recently (oh boy, terrible sign for my mental health lmao). most of them have been run by lesbians (largely cis), with sapphic/lesbian guests (also unfortunately largely cis pls help), and about sex and relationships, and in almost every single one i've been listening to they have, at one or multiple points, had someone boil down lesbianism as "liking pussy" and idk it just really rubs me the wrong way
maybe i'm overthinking it but like afeoijfai it gives me such ick to just describe sexual orientation based on What Type of Genitals your partners typically have, it feels SOOOOOOO cishet and cis gay man
like i know the l word got rebooted but it is not the 00's, can we please move past this?? people are more than their genitals and trans fem sapphics deserve better than having to hear annoying cis lesbians talk about how gross they think penises are in one sentence and then try to pretend they're entirely supportive of trans people in the next sentence like afwoiejaoi do better!!!
