The real problem with melissa sexuality discourse is people are saying 2 different things

As far as I’ve now been made aware of, when people are saying they headcanon her as a lesbian they’re saying they see elements of themselves in her, they interpret her as a lesbian.

When I say she’s bi I’m saying that’s what the show is writing towards, based on the evidence of lines she’s said the basic implication is liking men and women. Realistically the way she will be queer is to be bi.

Surely you can see how that’s the case because I’m not talking about individuals interpretation, I’m talking about the basic fact of what we see in the show, without interpretation based on individual experience.

If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck it’s probably a duck.

And this is where this argument seems to be stemming from. I see ‘she is a lesbian’ and am meant to read that as ‘based on my own experiences which I see in her I see her as a lesbian but would be happy for her to be bi too’, but when I say ‘she is bi’ I mean literally purely based on the lines she says in the show that is bisexual behaviour.

I’m not sure how I’m meant to imply all that, yet people can easily apply ‘oh it’s someone hating lesbians’.

Disagreeing is not lesbiphobic. If it was does that make the lesbians who share this perspective lesbiphobic? Because how does that work?

The reason it bothers me is nothing to do with lesbianism and that’s a really strange take. It bothers me because it ignores half of what we see (actually more than half). It bothers me when people say she’s straight, but less so because that doesn’t change the interpretation of what’s being written. Melissa, as lisa describes her, an angry slut (not to say lesbians can’t be sluts, but we know she sleeps with men, and here the implication is she enjoys it), not liking men would fundamentally change who she is. Comphet while also having her seeming awareness of liking women plays into the stereotype of bisexuality being a step on the way to lesbianism.

Acting like someone hates lesbians and lesbianism because they see a character differently from you is a huge misinterpretation of discourse that’s really based on people saying 2 different things.

So often tv characters, especially in sitcoms, have throw away lines like this implying bisexuality but then it’s either only confirmed by actors after the fact or never confirmed.

So why would I not ride for her to be openly bi?

white americans when you tell them that the idea of climate change as an impending disaster is a reductive first world perspective because it’s a tangible reality for many in the global south already:

Guess who’s rewatching snippets from Arcane instead of studying for finals lmao

Anyway, do you know what I just realized about S2E2 when Ekko and Heimerdinger are breaking into the lab? You know what’s absolutely tearing me up inside??

(Sorry for the low quality pics lol bear with me)

I can’t believe I missed this on my first watch through omg

Jayce thought it was Viktor

He stood by as they unscrewed the grate—waited until someone came through—and it was only when he heard Heimerdinger speak and knew it wasn’t Viktor that he fired up the hammer

He stayed, kept sleeping in the lab (though not much judging by how tired he seems), in case Viktor came back. In case he changed his mind and decided to stay with him. And for a second he thought he did. And then his heart broke all over again

Twenty something year old Danny becomes a preschool teacher to a class of young meta and liminal kids, he helps to keep the kids calm when they discover their abilities and is genuinely one of the better teachers at the school. He's also a part time member of the Justice League. He's in the middle of a meeting when he gets a call from a freaked out substitute teacher saying one of the kids is stuck halfway through the wall and doesn't know what to do. Danny excuses himself and explains that one of his kids is having a small problem and he'll be right back and then leaves not realizing the chaos he left behind in his wake as the Justice League believe that Phantom has multiple kids and is a single father

I love teacher!Danny AUs, they are always so wacky and fun. And this seems so sweet! I love misunderstanding plots where the misunderstanding is something super simple. And plots where characters think someone is talking about their children children, when they’re actually talking about their students or something. Basically I love this prompt <3

So the JL know Danny is Phantom and stuff, probably are also away that’s he’s a ghost. Danny says that one of his kids is stuck in a wall at school and the substitute teacher is freaking out, so he’s gotta go real quick. Once he leaves one of the members(I’m thinking Flash because…I like him)is like, “Soo…wanna bet on how many kids he has? I’m guessing three-no-four.” The meeting quickly devolves into this conversation, until Batman or someone else steers it back.

After the meeting, rumors spread through the JL about Danny’s kids, and many bets are made. It takes them a while for everyone to figure out that Danny is just a teacher and not a father. Some figure it out faster than others though, but they think it would be funnier if they go along with the father Danny idea. Batman definitely knows what’s going on, he should know what Danny’s job is at the very least. He does consider the fact that maybe he might be a father, but that thought is short lived.

Okay can I be a bitter Anders fan for like. Just 2 minutes here lmao

Cause bioware released some game stats for veilguard and apparently 72% of players redeemed Solas which is like. Okay yeah the game kinda pushes you towards that. But when I think of all the shit I used to have to put up with just for enjoying Anders like at all and…

(This is not me being anti-Solas, I do not care if you love or hate him, but I am gonna say what he’s done is like. Objectively worse than literally every other companion so lmao. And that’s fine! You can still enjoy him! I’m not saying you can’t and it’s important to me that people understand that! I’m just saying he did in fact do objectively morally worse things in game than Anders did and I don’t think that’s really debatable. And I can’t really make my point here without saying that but I do want to make it clear this is not some moral condemnation of Solas enjoyers cause it’s not)

Getting anon hate on the regular, being told “oh you’re allowed to like Anders as long as you regularly talk about how much he sucks”, people gleefully describing how much fun they have killing him ON your posts about the fact that you like him, the devs making jokes about shitty fates for him when fans asked innocent questions about him, the absolute audacity of his writer to say half the shit she did in interviews (about bisexuality and mental illness, most critically), and then being beaten over the head again in inquisition about how Anders is the worst character to ever exist and there’s no redemption for terrorists who lie to you one time in the entire game and he deserves death or worse and that’s it

And now… 72% of people are down to redeem the guy who lies to you for 2 games straight and who did a lot of questionable things that includes creating the fucking blight and. Like. I guess I’m glad that Solas fans can live in a world where they aren’t constantly harassed and can give their ship like. A pretty damn good ending all things considered. And that the devs love Solas and actually give the option for that happy ending and have characters go to bat for Solas throughout the game and the most annoying thing they have to see are people making scrambled egg memes. I would not wish anyone to have to deal with the shit Anders fans had to put up with back then cause it sucked. It really sucked. And I’m glad it’s not being repeated with a different character, if nothing else

But like. Man there really is a difference when the writers actually like the character who does the thing, huh

Happy holidays folks, please have this little (longest animatic I’ve ever made) something I’ve been cooking up for the last month. It was a fun little personal project and I’m pretty happy with it, so I hope you enjoy!

CW: comic style gore, implied violence, death, blood, and a bit of eldritch body horror. Canon typical scary activities.
