luz has such a strange characterization among fandom spaces to me, in which everyone will say and acknowledge out loud that she's canon bi as a front but then turn around and subtly (or maybe not so) treat her functionally as a lesbian, especially with their rhetoric about "shipping her with men", and it's the weirdest form of bi erasure so far, because they're not actually erasing her sexuality thanks to a disclaimer but they also kind of are with their policing.

of course, there DOES exist people who will straight up say she is or should have been a lesbian, but i'm not talking about that separate group of people, especially since they usually get enough deserved backlash ─ however, i'm sure the one this post is about wishes they could be so confident, without a doubt.

there's also an unspoken "rules for thee but not for me" attitude in which lunter is bad because luz is in a relationship already, but then proceed to depict willuz (and amillow) romantically. that reads more indirectly like it's them who fail to take committed WLW couples seriously than those infamously stereotyped bisexuals who prefer a WLM/MLW pairing, but... okay sure!!! the only possible explanation for the hypocrisy here other than "it's bad because i personally don't like it" (a typical anti argument in any given discourse btw) is "you're lesbophobic for shipping a bi character with a gender they are, in fact, attracted to because i want said character to be a lesbian instead and you're ruining that illusion." in any case, they're both obviously some stupidly wrong takes that should always be laughed at out of the room.

i’m honestly so afraid i missed the aloto renewal/cancellation notice, how has it been like two whole months, it’s miles more popular than paper girls was, the fandom is as big as the wilds was if not bigger, but my hope is diminishing. lesbians can’t rely on shows ever coming back.

Kind of hilarious that the gay drama in this show is like sleeping with your friends bf, secretly recording people having sex, being in love with your friend, etc.

And then the lesbian drama was... sorry babe I don't understand your indie films ??????

i fucking DESPISE the argument that shipping luz with hunter "takes away" or "undermines" the sapphic/WLW representation that lumity gives us. IT CAN'T. DO THAT. a small percentage of the fandom that prefers lunter CANNOT erase lumity from history. they are a CANON pairing and always will be. the official story will forever be told with luz and amity, not luz and hunter. the show was written and concluded a while ago already, and what you saw on disney channel is what gives the show its queer rep, not the tumblr blogs who post fanart and/or fanfiction. claiming the consumers of media defines the source itself like that implies many problematic ideas that would be out of the producers' control and i hope you realize how unfair and ridiculous that is. you don't have anything to worry or complain about with relation to protecting the status of LGBT+ fictional characters, i promise.

A short list of my favourite sapphic audio dramas

Echobox- Greek Mythology in the modern world, bisexual mc in love with Artemis (relatable) who is a lesbian in this universe, slowburn

Where the stars fell- The Antichrist and her Guardian Angel.They "hate" each other but really it's just sexual tension, they bicker and banter constantly it's hilarious, also the love interest is a butch lesbian and I'm pretty sure the mc is a lesbian the mc is actually bisexual. There's rep for autistic people and people with learning disabilities.

Inkwrym- A CEO and her assistant. They also "hate" each other when it's really just sexual tension. It's the same VAs and company that made Where the stars fell. Lots of bickering and banter. Audio 6/10, Story 100/10.

Elixir- The owner of an illegal elixir store and the daughter of wealthy politicians who had a hand in outlawing elixir. Alot more action and politics than you would think.

Once upon a wasteland- A spy and a scribe trying to find their happily ever after. Set in the fallout universe (you don't need to know anything about fallout) this has one of my favourite sapphic relationships ever. They are incredibly healthy and they get together early in season one so you get to enjoy them throughout the drama. Its still ongoing.

Starship Q star- The US government sends is first team of all women and non-binary people to Mars right before the planet blows up. The team is co captained by Sim and Aurelia who are exes. It's basically messy sapphic drama the show and it's hilarious.

#I am once again pushing the audio drama agenda #we sleep on audio dramas and a medium for story telling #some of the best rep I have found are audio dramas #lgbtq #wlw #nonbinary #lesbian #bisexual #starship q star #echobox #where the stars fell #elixir #once upon a wasteland #these are all on spotify for free

To Those Beyond The Sea - Mizu x filipino!Reader

(A/N: THIS IS FOR THE LOVELY ANON @dinadearine!! I wanted my main ff to be more of the reader escaping to Japan bc of the Spanish, but I loved this idea sm so I still wanted to write something for it!! I hope you like it <33)

Possible TWs!!!: Sex, Canon typical violence, possibly ooc?

Mizu was rather pissed off when the captain of her ship told her they would be making a stop over at a nearby country before moving onto Britain. After all, in her eyes it was simply a waste of time. Why would she want to spend time in a place that didn't aid her search for vengence after all? That was the price to pay for choosing a cargo ship instead of one ferrying passengers. So, she begrudgingly acknowledged the statement before turning her gaze back to the sea, her eyes scanning the waves for unknown answers.

Her ship arrives at it's destination the next morning. Mizu is surprised to find herself in a warm, tropical country. It wasn't that far away from her homeland of Japan, and yet the scenery was worlds away. The sun beat down onto her heavily, making her sweat in her disguise. She suddenly regretted not packing lighter clothing. The air here was humid, thick. She could feel it sticking to her skin and frankly she was at a loss as to whether or not it was a good thing or not. And then there was the town. It was a quaint sea side port, but it was full of life. Children ran around the streets, yelling and playing happily with one another. Vendors were selling their wares, there were people singing and laugh... and there was chatter everywhere. Quite different to Japan. A part of her finds this stark difference endearing. Everyone here seemed so... happy. She notes the darker skin tone of the people around her, marveling in it's beauty. The people here were beautiful. And Mizu couldn't decide whether or not it was because of their smiles or their features.

But she was sweating. Really badly.

"Fuck," she mutters, shrugging off her haori. She couldn't risk revealing her identity as a woman, but at the same time she was pretty sure she would die if she didn't get some new clothes. So she disembarked, stepping onto the docks of the town and heading inwards to search for a tailor who could help her.

Suddenly, someone bumps into her. One of the native women. Mizu had to catch herself from staring. The woman before her was considerably shorter her tanned skin shining beautifully in the sunlight. The stranger's hair was dark, so dark it was nearly black and it was tied up gracefully into a bun at the nape of her neck. The woman looks up at Mizu, warm brown eyes staring curiously into her blue ones.

"...pasensya na," the woman says, lowering her head bashfully.

Mizu stares, absolutely puzzled. What the hell was a passensha?

"Uhm... w-what?" Mizu replies, hoping that she didn't sound too awkward or nervous.

Mizu and the woman stare at each other for a while as it dawns on the both of them. They had no way to communicate. The woman bites down on her lower lip, looking worried. She suddenly points at herself and then at Mizu before making her hands bump together. "Ano... I..." she begins, her accent thick. She points back to herself and then bows dramatically. It finally dawns on Mizu... The woman was apologizing.

"I-It's," Mizu begins. "Ok." In an effort to communicate with the stranger she forces her lips into a smile, nodding her head as an acceptance of her apology. Much to Mizu's relief the woman smiles brightly, so brightly Mizu was certain that the sun itself had been reincarnated into this tiny human. The woman then points at herself again before speaking. She tells Mizu her name, a name that she had never heard of and yet was now finding incredibly beautiful. She repeats it, testing the syllables on her tongue before pointing to herself.

"Mizu," she says. The stranger, you, smiles. You test her name on your tounge as well, delighted to make another friend.

Meanwhile Mizu is quite literally sweating to death, having previously been too distracted by the new figure to notice her state. She was now thrown back to reality by the sticky feeling of her clothing against her back. Mizu taps your shoulder, pointing at her clothes.

"Need... new ones," she says to you. You seem to get the message, and you quickly lead her to a vendor. You chat with said vendor quickly, telling the lady running it that Mizu requires new clothing to suit the weather and she quickly whips something up for Mizu.

"Salamat po!" I say gratefully as I hand the clothing to the still sweating Mizu. Mizu takes the clothing gratefully, hurrying back to her ship to change into the lighter clothing. She sighed in relief as the light fabric touched her skin, cooling her off. When she exits her room she's surprised to find you still waiting for her at the dock. How persistent of you.

That meeting was now two weeks ago. The first meeting that would change the both of your lives. Mizu couldn't help but be drawn in by your welcoming, sunny nature. It was so sincere, so sweet that she was sucked in as if she was stuck in a vat of taffy. Within those two weeks you had both learned to communicate through English (which Mizu found additionally helpful considering she would need to know English to get around Britain). Mizu eventually ended up telling you about her past. About how she was really a woman in disguise, how she had murdered her husband and how she was killing all the men who had the audacity to force her into being. And yet despite knowing all these truths you never once stopped smiling at her the same way. Not even when you had begged her to spar with you and lost. When she pinned you down Mizu was afraid it would be a repeat of Mikio, and yet all you did was giggle. You giggled and pressed a kiss to her cheek.

That was when she realized something that both elated and horrified her. She loved you. Mizu had fallen head over heels for you. For your sunny personality, for your smile for everything. She pulls away from you briefly, trying to process the warmth she felt in her chest at the sight of you. When she does come back to you the first thing she does is apologize.

"For what?" You ask her, tilting your head to the side.

"For disappearing so suddenly," Mizu replies.

"Oh? That? I just figured you needed space," you say, giving her a reassuring smile.

"Goddamn it. Will you stop being so damn cute?" Mizu hisses, suddenly clamping down on her own mouth once she realized what she had said. Meanwhile you stand there briefly, shocked at what she just said.

"Cute?" You ask. "You think.. I'm cute?"

"Yes," Mizu groans, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Listen, I... I love-"

You cut her off. "I love you too."

Mizu's heart stutters, her breath hitching in her throat. You loved her back. Now without reservation she grabbed ahold of you by the collar of your blouse, pulling you forward and kissing you.

Kissing turned to making out and making out turned to grinding and before either of you could process it you were both unclothed, your bodies intertwined intimately.

"You're beautiful," you whisper between moans.

For once Mizu almost cried; not out of anger or despair... But this time out of joy. After the intense night of pleasure you slept in each others arms, taking solace in the warmth of your lover.

Come morning Mizu held you tightly, pressing soft kisses to your forehead. What was once a stop over she had deemed unnecessary became one of the most important events in her life. But she would have to go soon, and they both knew it. You both spend the rest of your time together as a couple, whispered words of comfort and love shared between the both of you. And the night before her departure from your warm homeland you got married.

"Mizu," I whisper after our small ceremony. "I hope you know I'm coming with you."

Mizu's eyes widened.

"What? Are you crazy!?! You'll get hurt! I-" She is promptly shut up by your finger on her lips, your dark eyes twinkling with mischief. "Shh, love. I'm coming with. I'm your wife now, as you are mine. And I promise to do whatever it takes to help you in your quest. I promise. Mahal kita," you whisper, kissing her tenderly. Mizu knew better than to argue. Not with your stubborn personality. Which is how she now finds herself in London, her beautiful wife at her side. From now until forever more.

Translations!!:

Pasensya na - Excuse me

Ano - What

Salamat po - Thank you (sir/ma'am - idk how to translate po tbh)

Mahal kita - I love you

(A/N: ANNDDDD DONE!! :D I hope this was up to your standards!! I'm sorry the smut part is so short it's more implied if anything 😭😭I was too scared to make it longer but I swear I'll do a proper smut scene in the future. As usual, if anyone has any suggestion, comments or requests feel free to ask!! Love y'all <3)

currently reading WataOshi vol. 3 bonus stories for the first time (SPOILERS AHEAD), and i gotta say:

somehow, this books take on queer representation is a perfect blend of "Everyone is Gay" escapist fantasy, and the depiction of how harsh and cruel reality can be for LGBT people

Yes, Claire and Rae get to have a wedding and their own kids, with fully supportive parents/in-laws. And Yes, everyone from thier friend group (except for like, two dudes) ends up being incredibly queer

But also...

the story does not pretend this world is all rainbows and sunshines for LGBT people, just becuase its a yuri romance. The world at large is still either ignorant, or openly hostile towards non-cishet people. The state and the church dont legally recognize Rae & Claire as married, even though everyone who knows them does.

Inori's depiction of LGBT issues manages to simultaneously be realistic, AND incredibly optimistic, and i absolutely love her for it

Done! I've plotted the entire novel!

If you have 80% of a book plot and a bunch of thin threads, I fully recommend just buying a pack of sticky notes and finding a wall to stick them on. Pick a colour for the plot and different ones for chapters, themes, notes and anything else you need and just get it all up there.

It offers such great flexibility in moving bits of the plot round and figuring out what happens and when. I started out with a strong beginning and end - I just needed to weave the middle bit together. I now have the full thing! So definitely recommend doing this if you're struggling with plotting and weaving themes in.

Now that this is done, I feel like I can start writing now! This book is based on a dream I had (not like Twilight omg) and some life lessons I wish people had told me when I was younger.

It covers things like finding and choosing your family, coming to terms with the fact that the people you are related to aren't always the best people (and coming to terms with that), finding validation and self acceptance and learning to let go of people or things that would otherwise do you harm. All in a fantasy setting! Woo!

Oh and it is also very queer.

I love the characters and messaging and will post updates as I go because eventually - I will need test readers!

Now to come up with a fucking title.
