Mega post of new bambi flags :) These are all made to be in the same style as my other bambi flags.

(Also, if anyone coins any alternative names for these terms, then these flags can be used for those too.)

In the order they're shown, the flags are: bambi achillean | (2nd ver) bambi sapphic | (2nd ver) bambi sapphillean | (2nd ver) bambi diamoric | bambi owtic/enbian bambi gaybian bambi gai | bambi strayt bambi uranic | bambi neptunic bambi cetero bambi a-spec | (2nd ver) bambi ace | bambi ace-spec bambi aro | bambi aro-spec bambi aroace | bambi aroace-spec bambi quoisexual | bambi quoiromantic bambi pomo | (2nd ver) bambi t4t

The designs follow a similar pattern as my other bambi flags. The top 4 stripes are for deer (and other animals), with the bottom 3 stripes for the respective orientations. (The white stripe also includes trans/nb people.)

The colors are based off of the original flags, but aren’t exactly the same. Since a lot of flags here have more than 3 colors/stripes, I focused on trying to simplify them down to their main colors (and combining some colors). There’s also rearranging of color orders, and changing the colors to be warmer / more pastel (to fit with the style I have for these flags). Plus, though this doesn’t contribute much to any meaning and is just aesthetics, each flag has slightly different brown stripes to fit with the bottom colors better.

More specifically, the bambi achillean, sapphic, ace-spec, aro-spec, and aroace-spec center stripes have been changed to use the white colors from their original flags, instead of the bambi white color. Since those flags didn’t just use plain white, and I think they contribute to the overall look / recognizability of those flags.

There’s also the bambi achillean, sapphic, and sapphillean flags. They have a symbol version and a plain stripe version. For the first 2 specifically, the plain stripe versions are slightly different, they include a color from the symbols (achillean with a green stripe and sapphic with a magenta stripe), to help make them more unique/recognizable. The symbol versions are just variations of the main blue and pink colors (3 stripes since I want them to match, the extra shades don’t have any special meanings). (sapphillean symbol made by @isobug here.)

The star symbols on a-spec and pomo are just made by me. I would love to add more symbols for other flags, especially since with the round outlines they look like stickers (love them so much!), but there weren’t any svgs I could find of them.

───────────────

Wow super long post haha. (But I guess that’s just what I do)

I wanted to explain my thought process behind the flags though, since when I work with other’s flags sometimes, the lack of meaning can be a bit confusing. I like explaining it so if anyone else wants to make something based on my flags, they know what to do.

lesbian community sometimes is too exclusive bruh 😭😭 i swear what is the standards of being accepted? Ill see a post or a blog that says "lesbian safe space" but next to it i see "bi lesbians dni" like were u rEally that safe of a space???

and im not even bi lesbian myself, this problem doesnt directly affect me until it does like what if they start going "ace lesbians dni" next??? its like gold star lesbianism but evolved into "you cant sit w us unless ur 100% lesbian 🙄" and thats so fucked bc ppl are way too diverse for that shit, there will always be more exceptional lesbians out there and ppl whos sexuality differs from the majority bc every brain is different and also lesbianism is a spectrum as well.

Why is it so accepted in lesbian communities that the second ones sexuality is different or a lil more exceptional ppl start putting them in different categories/boxes and claiming they arent a ""ReAL"" lesbian unless they r ""100% lesbian"" like shut uuuuppp pls youre not only excluding bi lesbians but also a bunch of other lesbians like me whos lesbianism is a little more different than the norm (for me bc of my asexuality) like thats not a safe space at all why is it sooo hard to just not police others sexuality like why is so hard literally get over urselves acting like uptight bullies .😭

🎄 Happy Holigays! 🎁

(they got eachother new stockings)

[girlflux-sapphic]

To all of my fellow asexual lesbians:

I adore you

You will find a girl that is right just for you, trust me

Don't do anything that makes you uncomfortable, there is a better match for you out there

You can present in any way you want, you don't have to be a cute cottagecore girly (that doesn't mean being so is bad, I match that stereotype partly myself). Butches, nonbinary folks, we can all be asexual lesbians in our own way

Happy pride month

Spend this month in a good way. Celebrate yourselves, because all of you are beautiful and valid

-your local bambi lesbian

It's okay to talk about how your romantic attraction overlaps with your asexuality. It's not greedy to want representation of both your romanticism and your asexuality together in 1 character. It's not a lesser form of asexual representation if the character has romantic attraction. It's not a lesser form of queer romantic representation if the character is asexual. You are not a lesser form of anything. You don't have to 'choose' whether your asexuality or your romanticism matters more. It's not amatornativity to want an asexual relationship for yourself or express your romantic attraction. It's not allonormative or gross to express your interest in the same gender if you have it. It's okay if sexual/romantic/platonic look and feel completely different to you. It's not automatically 'just sexual attraction then' if it involves anything physical. It's not a privilege to have romantic attraction if it's illegal, moralised or stigmatised despite being asexual. In case anyone needs to hear it.

Bambi-sexual flag

Definition of bambi-sexual

Bambi-sexual, also spelled bambisexual or simply shortened to bambi, is a term for people who prefer nonsexual touch over sexual touch. The term originated in the 1980s or earlier.

The term was featured in The Alyson Almanac, which was originally published in 1989, with its second edition published the following year. In The Alyson Almanac, the following definition was given:

BAMBI-SEXUALITY. Physical interaction centered more about touching, kissing, and caressing than around genital sexuality.

Bambi-sexuality is often associated with lesbians (i.e. bambi lesbians), but is not exclusive to them. The term can be used by straight people, gay men, nonbinary people, aromantic people, and people of any other orientation and gender, so long as there is a preference for nonsexual touch.

Bambi-sexual people may or may not be additionally interested in sex. Bambi-sexuality also may or may not be an asexual/ace-spec sexuality, depending on the individual.

Explanation behind the flag

I based the colors on Bambi, from the 1942 Disney film by the same name. Each stripe also has its own additional meaning.

Yellow represents light and/or nonsexual forms of touch

Orange represents energy, joy, and warmth

Red represents nonsexual passion and intimacy

Purple brown represents asexual and ace-spec bambis

Yellow is a light color, which feels fitting to represent touch which does not involve genital contact, as genital touch/sex is often associated with darkness (dim lights, nighttime, etc). The lightness of the yellow can also allude to touch which is, in and of itself, considered a "light" form of touch, such as gentle caressing.

Orange commonly represents energy, joy, and warmth. This stripe highlights some of the positive emotions that can come with physical intimacy, whether of a sexual nature or not.

Red is commonly depicted as a fiery, passionate color. It is often used to represent things like love, sex, and intimacy. In this case, this is nonsexual passion and intimacy.

Purple brown represents asexual and ace-spec bambis because purple is commonly used to represent asexuality, and there is a lot of overlap between asexuality and bambi-sexuality. Some consider bambi-sexuality to be somewhat of a precursor to asexuality; people who identify as asexual now may have identified as bambi-sexual a few decades ago. While I'm not asexual/ace-spec myself (I'm just a bambi), I felt that this was important to include.

On a similar note, I decided to use only four stripes, specifically so it would look good/blend well with the asexual flag, due to the overlap in communities and identities.

LPS flag and bambi pride backgrounds for fun!

I just wish I could go into the lesbian tag w/o getting bombarded with softcore porn

I know there are all those videos of irl lawyers reacting to Ace Attorney and how it all comes down to "omg what if court was really like this??" but I can assure you that court is, many times, actually like this. Like you would not believe what goes down sometimes.

The things we have to sit through with a straight face. There might be no ghost-channeling or cross-examining parrots but the level of surrealism is pretty close most of the time.

Been feeling those 80s bambi sapphic vibes today lol 🎀🦌

[cullen-rutherford-wifey]

Alright imma just say this to every AC fan out there, can unfollow/block me/say I hurt there white feelings to there friends I don’t care. But know this:

Making cute whittle fics and blogs surrounding the colonial Templars exclusively is racist.

I dunno how to spell this out to you; but the colonial Templars of AC 3 and AC rogue are caricatures of American colonial evil. So celebrating them , woopifiying them, defending them, shipping yourself with them, etc. Is gross.

Maybe you obsessing over fictional (and in AC’s case not so fictional) colonizers/fascists/white supremacists over characters of color. Says more about you than this post says about me.

Obviously you can make fan content with them in it and analyze them as characters/historical portrayals. But anything more announces to me how oblivious you are.

They aren’t some mustache twirling villains, they’re portraits of real evils. That have killed MILLIONS, and continues to kill even hundreds of years later. Colonization is not some aesthetic it is real history that affects real people.

Apologizes your tumblrina bubble has been popped. But putting on your blorbo blinders for literal fucking Charles Lee is racist. Im not pretending it’s not.

Elsa is an ace lesbian, you can’t convince me otherwise.

so i feel like how aspec sexuality connecting to abandonment trauma and personality disorders is not talked ab enough, well it is by ppl with personality disorders but i wanna talk ab it basically w my experience w bpd and being aro/ace spectrum

and i know fellow bpd havers know the feeling of being unlovable very well. For me i'm demiromantic and it would take literal years for me to actually develop a genuine romantic attraction to someone, and if when i do, that person would straight up become my fp and it would be torture pain and suffering (for me mostly)

Like romantic feelings for me is nothing fun, because its linked to my mental issues inherently i feel. And i still want a romantic relationship one day but that feeling of being unlovable and like, i'm just not suited for it (in the sense that i couldnt handle it i feel) is like,, i will just not try there is no point. I will suffer for another person always wondering do they hate me will they leave me, ofc they will there's not much i can offer even. I will end up hating the person i love and then go back to loving them and then hating them etc etc.. Not to mention amanormativity (idkkk if thats how u spell it or if thats the right term) but basically i assume people want something from me that i simply cannot give. I will never be able to have sex with someone, i will never want to, I actually just wouldn't put myself thru that for someone else and because i feel like thats all anyone would actually want from me i will just probably never want to be in a relationship. Like for me personally i'm supperrr asexual like u have no idea i've known i was ace since i was literally 10 yrs old and nothing has changed i will always be like this, and i dont mind doing *some* suggestive sexual stuff if its fun and chill but the second a line gets crossed i just want no part in it and i refuse to put myself thru that.

And i'm also very fine w being single like i only ever feel like i want a gf once in awhile but i feel completely whole just by myself and my life is objectively easier and more relaxing without romance. For me i don't think i'll actually be ready for a genuine romantic relationship until i feel like i am and that will be hopefully when i'm older lol

Idk i feel like because of the stigma against aro/ace ppl and also the experience of bpd, it enhances the feeling of being unlovable. But I want to make it clear to ppl reading this post that i'm aware that i actually am lovable, this is just a feeling. And i didn't write this to complain, and if you have the same experience as me or a similar one, that doesn't mean there is no hope for you or for me. The world is so much bigger than how my brain perceives everything. Like i do want to stress that these feelings are mostly a symptom of my mental illness lol and if you have bpd or a pd it doesn't make you unlovable, bc everyone is lovable by default yknow.

Even people who's hearts are a mouthful, like mine. And even if ur reading this and you don't have the experience of having a pd but you still have feelings of being unlovable or like, there is no hope for you in romance because you are arospec or acespec or both like me, well there is hope for everyone because the world is so much bigger than societies stigma and people are as diverse as the stars.. But lmk if you have a similar experience anywayz ppl <3

Ace girlfriends dress up for the holidays. How sweet 😊

[girlflux-sapphic]

Happy International Lesbian Day to all the lesbians! - single and taken lesbians - ace and/or aro lesbians - butch, femme and everyone who doesn't identify with those terms - cis, trans and nonbinary lesbians, also everyone who is somewhere in between - and finally, to lesbians of every race and ethnicity For this occasion, I wish for rights for us all in all of the world. It's a big wish, but I hope we will go into the right direction. Everyone deserves a right to be with or without anyone they want. But for now, remember that no matter what anyone says, you are valid. You kissed boys before? Happens to the best of us. You only got your first crush at a later age? No one is too old to discover themselves. Don't let anyone else dictate your identity. Go and be as lesbian as you can today, be proud, be loud And love yourself ♥️ 

[leikeliscomet]

Are there any ace lesbians that just don't vibe with "bambi lesbian"? Both ace and allo lesbians that wanna use the term that's great but for me personally I don't really claim it. Not all bambis are ace but not all aces are bambi. I noticed a lot of bambi lesbian & ace sapphic content always equates being ace with being a fem sapphic and I dont get it. Non sexual intimacy gets equated with "feminine" roles like cottagecore, being a stay at home gf, cooking, gardening, pink, sweetness, softness etc. Like where's the stuff for the asexual butches? Asexual studs? Asexual stems? Ace sapphics that lean more androgynous and masc? Where's the ace sapphic & bambi stuff about buying masc clothes with your partner, or building something with them or changing a tire and shit. The term bambi, a small soft, dainty, innocent animal being the representation of not having sex/sexual attraction feels a lil weird too. You can be soft and dainty and sexual. You can be non-sexual and dominant and strong. And again asexuality =/= not liking sex its just means little to no sexual attraction. When you look at ace culture the terms and imagery isn't exclusively masc or fem. An animal that isn't stereotyped as being softy feminine and innocent for lesbian aces is a label I'd feel more comfortable claiming. It would kinda cringe but a sea urchin or dragon would make more sense to me. Or it could take a page from our aro bredren with aphrodite lesbian and be "artemis lesbians" or something idk. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being fem and ace sapphic or just fem btw, it's just non-sexual love isn't automatically purer by default, not all ace sapphics are fem and you can be masc, butch, stud, stem or androgynous and soft too.
