So incredibly homophobic that i don’t have a gf so that i could doodle a little heart on her hand every day

#wlw #wlw mood #sapphic #sapphism #lesbian #i was going to say everyday leading up to valentines day #but then i remembered i would want to do that every day outside of valentines day anyway #i LOVE doodling little hearts on peoples stuff #let me put hearts on your papers please please please please #im gay and i like sleeping

ngl I might get crucified for this but I think the dunmeshi yuri/yaoi discourse was stupid and misrepresenting the ao3 factoids. as of today the most written for mlm ship is labru with 69 (nice) and the next most popular has less then half that at 31. meanwhile farcille has 125 out of the 154 F/F ships in the tag. it is by FAR the most popular ship, with the next two most written about sapphic ships being marcille/izutsumi (9) and kiki/namari (4) and also a couple of x readers? so farcille dominates by far

it seems to me that what's going on is that several mlm ships are in rotation in terms of popularity whereas farcille dominates as the singularly popular wlw ship.

and this doesnt mean that the issues people were bringing up about the general lack of sapphic content and the way fandom treats female characters aren't valid, but idk man when farcille fanart is cropping up daily and getting thousands of notes and has about twice more the amount of fics that the most popular mlm ship on ao3 has its like. I dont think this is really a fandom that proves that point.

I would like to see some more variation in smaller wlw pairs to make up the difference though! I dont think I see any tade/izutsumi fics and we need to change that they could be so cute.

#keeping this bit in a tags bc its a bit spicier but even without farcille actually being by far the most written about ship I dont think #dunmeshi is the best work to make this argument with bc while its got great female characters the main cast is still 3/4 and then 3/5 male #characters when izutsumi comes and she's not very shippable on account of being 17. I wouldn't sit there scratching my head as to why peopl #are writing about the multiple very relevant male characters as if its some mystery. and again farcille is still by far the no 1 ship rn #I hope that more people getting into the manga will lead to greater spreads of interest in the various minor characters bc there are many #very cool ones esp the [REDACTED BIRD NAME] are very prime for cooking up yuri. I just wanna gather up people who are passionate about #sapphic works and talk about ideas and spread the creativity and discussion I want there to be more wlw stuff and I think the only way that #gonna happen is by spreading that passion and love and encouraging other sapphic creators and enjoyers #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon

Film & TV I Think About A Lot » Selah & the Spades (2019) dir. Tayarisha Poe

"They make the new kids take our photos because they don't take us seriously. That's a mistake the whole world makes. They never take the girls seriously."

#cgedits #mine #honestly...? I slayed #selah and the spades #ok but making gifs & watching starstruck has been a great friday night tbh #thoughts on this movie: I've watched it multiple times #theres a lot of subtle things and the visuals are just incredible especially with three black leads - im always left wanting more #all the wide shots and direct to camera stares ugh just cinnamontography #everyone is gorgeous and moisturized and sapphic-coded #and its a mob boss movie layered over a dark academia movie #jharrel jerome #Celeste O'Connor #Lovie Simone #film #gifset #mygifs #cftv

Marvel really gon FINALLY focus on the dramatic sapphic situationship between gwen and mj and confirm mj's feelings, only to turn around and rip gwen away from earth 65 and hold her hostage in 616

#We lost #I hate it here #I mean maybe they'll finally be able to confirm gwen as sapphic #Because nothing about that girl convinces me she is remotely heterosexual #Which can lead to her getting a sapphic relationship in the future if marvel doesn't fuck it up #But to dangle the possibility of gwenmj and just...shoot it down #When their relationship is one of the most compelling storylines about spidergwen and they teased it for years #And turn around and throw her in 616 where there's a possibility they'll try to force her and miles AGAIN #Is just incredibly shitty and actually queerbait tbh

wait...ready set love is like, really fun. and man trisanu is in it!

#ready set love #he's gonna be second lead syndrome but it's fine #it's giving UnReal meets Pushing Daisies #i'm also a sucker for a dating show romcom idk why #there's gotta be lesbians in this tho right #just with the whole premise #UPDATE: i think i found at least one sapphic relationship!!

choosing to ignore the last couple minutes of the episode and focus only on the fact that bella and arthur were both deciding to go into a lavender marriage and yet neither of them knew that because it's very funny

#personal #malevolent #malevolent podcast #malevolent spoilers #mlm/wlw solidarity but if they were both stupid #yes i'm immediately choosing to believe that bella was sapphic i've decided that #problems with religious dad? married a loser even tho she knew he was a loser and yet still went with him? hmmmmmmm #but man that episode went from 'hiding the fact that you're dating again to your ex's family' straight to Horror Show #i'm curious about what oscar found out but also like.....ugh that lead up the second the knock sounded i KNEW smth went wrong #at least the transcripts have returned from war

Thinking about how soman could have written the most epic subversive fairytale with the sge series. Yet he just chooses not to lmaoo

Sophie and Agatha, a witch and a princess, fight over the same boy but then kiss. Imagine the ending — a princess and a witch as a couple without the prince.

But no, he had to make them fucking sisters. Make the witch end up alone (or with some guy she settled for — no offence hort stans) and have the princess and the prince get married, living heterosexually ever after.

But that’s okay,, it’s still a subversion of fairytale tropes coz the witch is blond and the the princess is brunette!!

#guys please don’t hate me #I’m only being half serious #yes I think there was wasted potential #but I love sge #and tedros deserves to be happy #would’ve rathered a sapphic fairytale tho like we were lead to believe from the end of the first book #but sge is still my favourite series #so don’t attack me guys!! #sge movie #the school for good and evil #school for good and evil #sge #sophie of the woods beyond #agaphie #agatha of woods beyond #the school for good and evil movie #representation #tagatha #lesbian #queer #queerbaiting #soman chainani #soman chainani (derogatory) #I mean at least the world building is pretty cool #and the action

they tell me i have to leave

they tell me you’re not good for me

they tell me you’ll never like me the way i love you

they tell me i need to find someone

someone who will appreciate the love i give, rather than taking it with a grain of salt

but you told me you love me

so i guess i’ll hang on anyway

i love animation and i love animated shows that tell beautiful stories of wlw romances, but frankly i’m sick of those being the ONLY shows where sapphic/lesbian love stories are allowed to thrive (and even then only in some circumstances, see: the owl house).

we deserve good representation in mainstream media. we had that with the 100 and killing eve, and then they buried their gays in the most brutal ways possible. we had beautiful, complex stories where sapphics/lesbians were allowed to be happy and in love like in first kill, and it’s cancelled.

i’m so sick of the lesbophobia of big corporations and feeling like wlw love stories are not important to tell. we deserve so much better. the cast and crew of first kill deserve so much better.

#i’m interchanging sapphic/lesbian since i’m covering different shows with both bisexual and lesbian leads just for clarification #the lesbophobia is in regards to first kill specifically since both of the leads are lesbians #first kill #netflix #emma.txt
