“why bother writing bisexual characters if they just end up in a m/f relationship”
my dude
my guy
my pal
stop talking forever
Oh I have never reblogged faster in my life
Watching my bi friends’ identities get erased when they‘re in m/f relationships makes me think it’s even MORE important to write bi characters in m/f relationships and then be REALLY BLATANT about the fact that one or both of them is bi.
I had a bi friend who was dating a girl and when he said anything about being bi she would laugh and say “that doesn’t matter cuz you’re with me”. Never been so happy to hear a friend broke up with a partner
As a bi woman who’s in a m/f relationship, who’s favorite oc is a bi man in a m/f relationship. This is very important to me!
husband kissed me this morning and murmured “mlm/wlw solidarity[1]” which is frankly the entire point of bi folks of different genders ending up together
Conservatives generally seem to believe that the unfortunate should be helped through family and through private charity. Of course, that presupposes that people have enough kindness and goodness in their hearts to support private charities… which most conservatives don’t.
If I was remaking the Princess Bride I’d have Buttercup hire Vizzini, Inigo and Fezzik herself to help her fake her death and take her away so she could go and seek out the Dread Pirate Roberts and get revenge for Westley’s death, and also get out of the marriage to Humperdinck, so she rocks up on the ship in disguise and this time Westley doesn’t recognise *her*, but she realises it’s Westley and she’s just making loads of snide remarks trying to figure out why he’s been merrily fucking about on a boat this whole time, meanwhile Westley’s having a little bit of a bi moment about Buttercup-in-disguise but because he’s loyal as fuck he’s not going to do anything about it but they get into a fight and Buttercup is like ‘Why the hell did you just fucking leave your girlfriend to fuck around being a pirate you could at least have written a letter’ and he’s like 'Oh I’m sorry???? What on earth would you know about it, this is none of your concern, I should’ve killed you when you came on board’ and of course during this scene they’re also having a very tense sword fight with Inigo making quips from the sidelines like a sports commentator, and Buttercup’s like 'WELL WHY DON’T YOU JUST KILL ME THEN, FARM BOY???’ But then the ship lurches to the side and she gets thrown overboard and Westley is like 'Oh my God I’m so stupid!!!!’ So then he has to dive in after and pull her out.
I LOVE THIS??!?
Once she’s back in the boat she and Westley have a heart a heart conversation and it’s very cute (Inigo and Fezzik are throwing rhyming couplets back and forth in the background).
Humperdinck is still trying to start a war, so when he hears his prospective bride is captured! by pirates! he chases them, and captures them all as soon as their boat makes landfall. Westley, Inigo, Fezzik, and Vizzini all go to the dungeons, and Buttercup is confined to the court physician’s rooms to ‘recover her wits’ from her ‘scare with the pirates’ (translation: she’s spitting mad and has a sword now and has to be restrained to keep from Murdering Humperdinck).
The gang in the dungeons are all in separate cells, so they each organize their own jailbreak. Fezzik just. breaks his door, Vizzini confuses his guard into handing him the keys to the door, Inigo has his ‘Father, guide my sword’ moment and finds a secret passageway out, and Westley is just sitting outside his cell waiting for them, both of his guards knocked out. he claims they turned on each other and then he picked his lock.
Meanwhile, Humperdinck releases Buttercup, which was a mistake, because now she gets to beat him up and give the ‘to the pain’ speech. Inigo has his conclusion with the six-fingered-man, meanwhile Westley finds the queen, convinces her that Humperdinck has been warmongering, and she decides to crown her younger child instead. Westley meets up with Buttercup, and together they find Inigo and Fezzik (who has grabbed the horses).
Inigo becomes the next Dread Pirate Roberts and Fezzik goes with him. Humperdinck never recovers from the scandal and gets shoved in a monastery somewhere out of embarrassment. Westley and Buttercup become wandering swords, just Robin Hooding their way through life, settling down to be farmers in their old age.
You’re hired
“Well,” said Inigo, shrugging, “I myself am no stranger to murder plots. I just don’t know that the four of us can fight an entire crew of pirates.”
They were drawing quite close to the Revenge, now.
Vizzini scoffed. “Obviously not. They say Roberts is a bloodthirsty pirate, but too honorable for his own good. Our employer will simply challenge him to a duel.” He glanced forward, to the front of the boat, where the enigmatic figure who had purchased their services stared intently ahead, and continued in an undertone. “And, since we’ve been paid in advance, the outcome matters little.”
extremely funny that for a while there the ultimate symbol of my generation’s decadence was having a single slice of bread with one vegetable on it for lunch
listen: technically avocados are a fruit but emotionally they are a vegetable and my feelings do not care about your facts
the reason you were able to read more and do more activities in a day when you were a kid than you do as an adult isn’t because you got stupider, it’s because as a child you generally had your base needs taken care of and your schedule provided to you, so you didn’t have to use as much of your mental and physical energy on planning, life maintenance (ie food and administrative tasks), and general executive function. of course you could focus on reading a novel in two days, somebody else made your lunches and you never thought about phone bills and you didn’t even have to decide for yourself when to take a bath. c’mon
If anyone is confused, basically, there’s a huge difference between using female as an adjective and using it as a noun. Saying “a female pilot” isn’t weird but just calling a woman “a female” makes many women feel gross. It feels weirdly dehumanizing, especially considering that many men who are guilty of this don’t refer to men as “males” (instead of “men and women” it’s “men and females.”)
my favorite thing that’s ever come out of those dumb “gender reveal” parties, you know the ones, is that people make cakes and other baked goods for them right?
and since everything in this hellscape has to be gendered including colors, they gotta use both pink and blue frosting when they decorate to keep the prospective parents guessing before they cut the cake open and reveal how they’re gonna color-code their babies, but that also means:
people are out here making blue and white and pink baby cakes and just, unintentionally throwing the trans flag all over their pointless “gender” celebration and i think that’s just superb
someone make me this cake when i get top surgery to celebrate
What if the trans community…stole gender reveal parties?
