#I'm not used to being interested in media as widely popular as this lmao it's unsettling

[wrylywriting]

it's so weird that my two blorbos (is it cringe to say that yet) happen to be in a very popular netflix tv show that everyone's seen and has a strong opinion on... so unsettling. when I get youtube recommendations that are like "whats wrong with bridgerton season 3" I'm like but wait they didn't make the show for you they made it for me and my mutuals on tumblr DOT com and we like garbage there

Hello! Happy June! It's Pride and I have another question (9/30)

Yo, today, today, I had a long shift, so I will be talking about something shorter: Bi-Lighting!

Bisexual Lighting refers to the use of pink, purple, and blue lights simultaneously, usually in film and tv, but also in Youtube and music videos. Obviously, not all who use this are deliberately doing so to represent/portray bisexuality, but it is fair to say that queer artists and creators who do so, know exactly what they're doing.

This colour scheme is and was popular on its own due to the revival of the 1980s aesthetic, and it is often associated with retrowave or synthwave music.

While it may not have originally been used to slyly represent a character's sexuality, this meaning has become cemented in the public zeitgeist and is an established part of bisexual storytelling. The generally accepted invention of the "Bisexual Lighting" concept came from tumblr (<- which shows up a lot when it comes to modern queer media/trends tbh). It was invented by a Sherlock fan in 2014 who believed that the lighting was being used to signal that Dr. John Watson was bisexual, and therefore Johnlock was real and would eventually appear on the show. It may not have been an accurate prediction, but it did give us this phrase.

Obviously, not all or even most of the instances of bisexual lighting are deliberate ways of conveying sexuality, and it is simply just a very pretty and appealing lighting combination, but personally, I love making everything queer, so I'm into it lmao. Something that is interesting about the colour purple is that historically, it has been used to represent royalty or the divine, and also magic, aliens, and the unknown, so frankly I think we should embrace it more.

So for today's question, in your opinion, which Minecraft block gives the most Bi energy to you? (please, use whatever criteria you prefer, this a dumb question for a reason, a little light-hearted thing for a bit of a break from deep questions!! :))

Happy Pride 🌈 🎉

hello!

i’m feeling mossy cobblestone for this one. one of the staples in practically all of my builds. it’s quite versatile, can be used in a wide range of vibes of builds of different genres, and it’s more than just your average stone block. i love using it in pathways and adding a bit of color to the general stone. one of my favorites for sure :)
