To all the girlies who watched at least one of these shows when they were kids/teens,

how hard did your queer awakening hit you?

#just asking #i mean girlies in the most genderneutral way #please Note that you could have watched both of these shows and still be straight #eah #queer awakening #ever after high #monster high #for me personally the realisation that asexuality is a thing hit pretty hard #queer #lgbtq+ #lgbtqia+ #mh #might be on aro spec somewhere too #also #✨women✨

Head-Canon: That moment when you realize you’ve awakened someone’s sexual identity 😂 🏳️‍🌈

The comments on this post include winners such as:

Actually had a situation like this happen. Girl wanted to see me and a friend do gay stuff and she’d let us both do stuff with her. We ended up just liking the gay stuff tho and just stopped inviting her to hang out.

(Comment to above) She girlbossed too close to the sun.

So. I love this. There are so many possible ideas from this. *Ok Fire*

Death Note: Misa using the fact that L said he had feelings for her to try and make Light both jealous/work for it. They obviously find that *oh wow* gay stuff is… kinda fun? 🤣

Death Note: AU where Misa is dating a fancy politician (Light) and their marriage is starting to sour. She tries to use the affection of a messy black haired man (L) to make Light jealous, but it seems the interest wasn’t quite what she thought it was before. Light comes home early and Misa tries to play it off as if they’d been caught in the thick of it. ‘Prove your devotion to me by proving you would do anything. Kiss this handsome dishevelled man!’

Miraculous Ladybug: Marinette can’t decide which man she likes most. She decides to try and use spin the bottle to help her determine her feelings. Instead, Luka and Adrien find their own feelings.

I feel like there’s some good shared trauma/bullying opportunities here too, but that got too dark too quickly 😅

I sincerely hope this post helped someone’s writers block, because we all know I’m f***ed right now 😂😭😭

🦊 🌈 A universal experience?

I got back from my first ever London comic con this week and it was a BLAST! I had to sleep for a few days to recover, but now I am back to drawing and feverishly catching up with everything.

Robin Hood was by far my most popular print at the con. I had no idea everyone would feel so called out by it XD it was truly wonderful hearing other people’s memories of watching the movie and feeling the same quiet fascination with him that I had, though it would be decades before I could put words to that feeling.

Currently, I’ve sold out of Robin Hood stickers and prints, but I’m ordering more, so those will be up on my Etsy asap. I’ll put a post out on here announcing my shop update as soon as it happens.

For those who visited my stall at comic con, thank you so so much for all your kind words. It was a wonderful weekend and I can’t wait to do it all over again.

For pride month, I thought I’d make a little post about the event that caused me to start questioning my sexuality.

When I was 15 I went out with a group of my guy friends (no other girls were there). We were sitting in the food court at this mall and this group of really pretty girls walked past our table. We all turned to stare. I turned back to my guy friends to tell them I thought those girls were really pretty. I saw them still staring.

And then it hit me.

I was staring at the girls exactly like my very straight guy friends were.

I just about had a crisis while I was sitting at the table with them. 😂

Seeing my younger sister discover Heartstopper is surreal. It's like watching reruns of my own queer awakening. I'm going to introduce her the Adam Silvera soon, she'll freak out. Directly from the happy gays to the sad gays to (perhaps) being gay.

Really struggling with relationship OCD, I think.

Since I had that second queer awakening last week, I haven’t been able to access my feelings for my boyfriend. I was extremely attracted to him before but now it’s just dissolved. Like there’s a glass pane between me and him. Every time I look at him I wonder what it would be like to be in a relationship with a girl, and if I’m going to have to break up with him eventually.

I really miss feeling hot around him. I miss my world being wrapped up in him. I miss feeling like we are on the same page and understand each other.

He has been so much more kind and supportive to me than anyone could possibly expect. So stable and he hasn’t doubted our relationship even though I cry over it every day.

I think it’s relationship OCD because I notice the mental checking when I see pictures of queer women or just women in general. The idea of breaking up with my boyfriend is torturing me every day, but yet I can’t help feeling like it wouldn’t be all bad. I constantly seek reassurance from him, asking him multiple times if he is afraid I’ll break up with him or if he feels I don’t love him enough. I feel bad I keep bringing it up.

He’s totally fine with me making out with/hooking up with women, which helps. But it feels so difficult to try to find someone. So much effort for which I am extremely not emotionally ready. Also, it’s not really about sex— it’s about that sapphic vibe that I felt so strongly on Sunday and that will not stop bothering me. My boyfriend obviously does not have a sapphic vibe. And I just wonder if I can be with him if he doesn’t have it.

I tell myself that we will just wait and see, that I love him, that I am usually extremely attracted to him, that I will try making close relationships with queer women like I had in the past, that I will try experimenting with women as well. I’m just worried that if I experiment, I’ll find that I’m so much more attracted to women than I am to my boyfriend & then I actually will want to leave him.

But I’ve been so miserable the gayer I’ve felt that I think it’s probably OCD. Would make sense bc I’ve had OCD flareups numerous other times. Just so hard when it’s sapping all the joy out of my relationship and making me just want to flee and leave and go chase some girls.

Just as baby Yuuri had his gay awakening as he watched figure skating, I had my queer awakening because Yuri!!! On Ice exists.

I knew I was neither straight nor cis for quite some time, but my perception of my gender and sexuality was pretty vague. There was much less queer media when I grew up than we have now and my environment was 100% heteronormative with zero access to these stories. As my mind was constantly preoccupied with one or the other obsession, I didn't look left and right and stuck to the heteronormative teachings of the world around me.

The first time I realised that I find women hot was in my 20s and I downplayed it as curiosity. I was convinced I liked men. I was drawn to queer media but didn't understand why. My compulsory heterosexuality was that deeply ingrained in me. But eventually, I discovered Yuri!!! and my world changed completely. I quickly realised that apart from my academic and fangirlish obsession with the masterpiece that is Yuri!!!, I was utterly obsessed with viktuuri. Not only because it's an outright beautiful pairing, it's THE otp of otps, but because I wanted what they have. It confused the hell out of me. Why did I want this so much? Was I a guy and didn't know it? Was this the reason I sometimes felt male?

That I jumped right into writing viktuuri fanfiction, was one of the best and most formative decisions I ever made as it allowed me to explore viktuuri and the multiple ways I relate to this pairing. And I realised that Yuuri and Viktor's love is what I've been subconsciously yearning for. Not some rose-coloured lens imagery I projected into them but a same-sex relationship. Because of my confusion about my gender, this also made me question my assigned gender for the first time. At that time, I had already figured I wasn't cis, but the notion I might be a dude felt so wrong it was outright scary. Turns out I'm a genderfluid lesbian and these labels feel like they belong to me.

But just as Yuuri had his gay awakening when he watched Viktor skate at Junior Worlds, figure skating played a major role in my queer journey as well. Because of Yuri!!!, I started watching competitions and this opened my eyes as I finally started to see women and, boy, how could I ever think I liked men?

Eliza and Loena settled it for me. I mean, look at them!

Because of Yuri!!!, because I started writing viktuuri fanfiction, because I got obsessed with figure skating as a side-effect, I finally figured my queerness out. This anime truly is a gift that keeps giving despite it being so short, but these 12 episodes did so much more for me than any piece of media of an epic length ever could. In a way, it gave me life and love and I'll be forever grateful for it.

It's been two years. I'm still madly in love with Yuri!!! and figure skating and I couldn't be any prouder of my two-dimensional queerness.

Happy Pride!

A '90s Kid's Sapphic Awakening #2

Linda Hamilton as Sarah Conner in Terminator 2 (1991). I could argue Linda Hamilton always has an appeal, but Sarah Conner's transformation into a slightly unhinged badass motherfucker is on another level. I was obsessed. She's iconic, that's all there is to it.
