Tragedy struck, Zolita's new single "Small Town Scandal" is country in every way EXCEPT the music

skz hyung line x taylor swift eras

hi stayswiftie ville!!

so, im hiperfixated on both subjects and i love associating taylors eras with the things i enjoy, so w skz it would be no different :) here's my opinion!!

only the hyung line bc i lost inpo during lmao

wc: 420

notes: grammatical errors, ts unbearably, perhaps a wrong view of their personality (?) & i went to far on hyunbini im sorry 😭😭😭 i love them

bang chan - speak now / reputation!! - bro went to a lot and talked about karma multiple times, rep is something made to perform and impact, at the same time as it has insecure and more of melancholic lyrics. of course all the members went through this, but it's just that is chan more yk. and sn is just. yes. "something in his deep brown eyes has me saying 'hes not all bad like his reputation'" & all of superman & never grow up & back to december 'bout chans room :( & LONG LIVE AND TIMELESS FOR SKZ !! &@,#, im gonna shut up now but i actually have a entire playlist with these and others songs, letmk if you wanna check out :))

lee know - 1989 - i see a lot of this album associated with seungmin. for me, i see more of minho, its just the vibe that he passes on to me, since i don't know him deeply. but it's something more hidden from the media, living your youth in strange ways alongside people u appreciates, idk if it makes sense but ok kansmwj

changbin - debut / taylor swift - oK LISTEN. I KNOW HES SO COOL AND GOD OF RAP AND THEY HAD TO TAKE THE POCKETS OUT OF MY PANTS BECAUSE I WAS JUST WALKING WITH MY HANDS INSIDE THEM bUT- have you ever seen him with THE cowboy hat in topline mv? 🥺 but it's about the beginnings you know, all the way from 3RACHA to stray kids, rock and country on the same album just like we have 'sorry, i love you' and 'thunderous' in noeasy or 'leave' and 'lalalala' (all produced by changbin) he deserves everything! and your talent and effort should be recognized as many times as necessary <33 (and deep down, i also love imagining changbin with a goat with a pink lacy bow on it head KABSEKDHEKJD

hyunjin - evermore - i stand by that so fucking much you have no idea . hyune has a huge impact on stage of course, tHE photos with the red hot chili peppers shirt also made me feel,, things. but he is so much more than that :( he is an hopeless romantic with such beautiful piece arts about love and feelings. he has also shown interest and lived answering philosophical questions in the bubble community (rip 🌷) *han also mentioned that he talked a lot about philosophers with hyunjin, right? i'm not sure now* his arts also have a lot of shades of brown, yellow, gray and black and personally, these colors are very fall colors and "omg i'm in tremendous melancholy" vibe aswell so = sad autumn = evermore. HE ALSO POSTED ABOUT BETTY FROM FOLKLORE AND THESE TWO ARE SISTERS🤓. i really want to someday be able to talk about the lore of 'no body no crime' for him, also talk about the sapphic vibe radiating from 'ivy' and he would love it so much, 'champagne problems' too!! and after that he can post a beautiful photo on insta with 'evermore' in the background ((yes i took the delulu pills today

[my-castles-crumbling]

hi cas it's sapphic anon again

so my friend was dating someone (they broke up over a month ago) and she immediately started liking someone else which is fine except every time she likes someone she makes it 95% of her personality and by extension our conversations and it's come to the point where she switched of her phone bc and i quote "90% of my phone life is about her" now it could just be me but i dont get how some people just completely make their lives about romantic attachments like she's talking about the next few months in terms of what will happen in her pining stage for that person and yeah, we're best friends i'm more than willing to listen to her rants but every single conversation is about who she likes like sometimes i feel like just telling her to shut tf up bc she's honestly the type of person who'd choose her relationship over friendships that have lasted for years. it happened last time but it was her first time and she said she'd never choose a relationship over us again but i highly doubt it. and um so i also like this girl i used to like her before but she did something shitty so i got over her but i kinda like her again now which is complicated af but idk how to really feel about the shitty thing she did (context: she fatshamed a girl who just happened to be tall and broad) and this friend is the only one i told about it and obviously now that i might like this girl again i want to yk work through my problems with what she said first and she just dismissed it by saying that the girl i liked was confusing and went straight back to talking about who she liked?? and apparently, according to my friend, the girl was looking at me and then shit happened over text but i finally got texted back and i told her obviously and she was just like happy for the span of one message and then started asking me if the girl she liked had posted anything while she had been offline. she also keeps going "i miss having a girlfriend" and i got so sick of it that i just told her that maybe she should get a life outside of romantic attachments because i cannot keep putting up with this every single time she has a crush. to top it off, i sent her some song lyrics about things we want never working out and i genuinely feel like it and have seen it in my life but things she wants keeps happening and she knows it too but she had the nerve to go "real" like ik some friends do that and it works for them but why does she have to make things that aren't even about her about herself. lastly their was a song i dedicated to the girl i like rn the last time i liked her and it's a song in one of our country's major languages but we aren't really fluent in it and i had told her that i had kinda dedicated it to the girl and she listened to it a few days ago and said she understood nothing so i sent her the translation and today she literally quoted a line from it, making it about her and the girl she currently likes and ik i have no claim to the song but she didn't have to take a song that i had dedicated to someone and make it about her and someone else especially when she knew that i had dedicated it to someone and like, yes, this feeling's irrational but i didn't go around dedicating songs she had told me made her think about someone to other people and what makes me so angry is that she had never really listened to that song before i mentioned it and like, not everything is about her.

i remember back when she was dating her ex we had a huge fight because she insisted on dragging that girl everywhere with her even when i wanted to have a private conversation with her and she ignored me for an entire week and i broke the silence first and we discussed our issues but she never really replied to my explanation about the things she had a problem with me doing and didn't say much about the problems i had with her and a week later when i brought it up saying that i had more shit to say, she just went "yeah if you say it now i wont listen bc if you tell me something more than once i dont really feel like it" but we're best friends and i want to talk about my feelings and she just swept it under the rug and acted like she had nothing to apologise for and when i said that i wanted her to acknowledge that she was in the wrong too bc she kept acting like she was a saint she went "sorry for what? not spending time with you?" like i'm her best friend and the relationship was so codependent i rarely ever saw her in school and when they broke up it turns out that me and all her other friends (she even cut one off for talking shit about her ex) were right about her ex and she was like "im so sorry" and bc this was during the exams and i didn't have the time to argue or shit i was like "it's okay you were in love" except it isn't okay but i don't want to bring it up again. not to mention that she completely villainised me during that week to all her friends who i'm not friends with and made me out into this possessive toxic best friend who couldn't stand being replaced and couldn't be happy for her best friend (ik i'm possessive sometimes but never that concerningly). i was happy for her until i saw the red flags and got worried for her and tried to protect her from heartbreak bc a couple of months in they were already saying "i love you" and saying that they'd get married and shit and i didn't think her ex cared enough about her (spoiler: she didn't). i can't even be harsh towards her because she'll either end up crying (which she does rarely) or it'll end in a fight and her birthday's coming up and i don't want us to be mad at each other on that day. (jeez how much of my life and actions do i base around her feelings.) anyways sorry for all of this it kinda got too long and i feel bad bc so many people keep asking you for advice and i don't really want to add to that load

Hi!

Honestly, I think you need to like...lay out what you need to your friend. It sounds like you need times where you can talk about your feelings and emotions without things being brought back to her. You need time spent together, without any significant others. And I think the thing is, you need to calmly say this to her. Because there's a chance she's unaware of what she's doing and even if she is aware, you can at least say that you gave her the benefit of the doubt. After you calmly say what you need, if she still doesn;t give that to you, you know she isn't a good friend to you. And you have a right to walk away at that point, or readjust your expectations. But you need to share how you're feeling or nothing is going to change, you know?

Sending love and naming you spoiler anon!

[jimothystu]

Thank you @donttelltheelff for the tag!! 💕

Do you make your bed? No lol

Favourite number? 25

What's your job? Being a stressed out student

If you could go back to school, would you? Still in school ✌ Starting a BEd in the fall (teaching), and after that, who knows, might do an MEd (still teaching, not medical lol) bc you get an immediate pay bump here if you have a masters. Or maybe I'll do more writing and editing courses, idk I'm kind of a sucker for learning even though it kills me

Can you parallel park? Can't drive, so, no lmao

Do you think aliens are real? Duh

Can you drive a manual car? Can't drive period

Favourite colour? Green

Favourite type of music? I don't think I have a favourite genre tbh. Like, there isn't one that I love overall. I like some pop, but nowadays moreso for nostalgia (like One Direction).

Do you like puzzles? Yeah. I don't do them as much as I should, but I do enjoy them!

[rollercoasterwords]

Not to beat a dead horse, but I think it’s so fascinating and unfortunate that mass consumerism has conditioned everyone to expect things as soon as demand is created. Right now, ppl can find a mass produced dupe of essentially any retail item marketed. And we are oversaturated with this idea that we need to be constantly consuming something, at least in developed countries. Buttt obviously that cannot be applied easily to disciplines like the arts. So you have these people hopping on tiktok, wanting wlw fics, noticing a perceived inequality between wlw and mlm fanfics (and I say perceived bc I’m convinced many of these complaints come from ppl who have never actively sought out wlw fics in this fandom) and then expecting that their demand can be fulfilled automatically. Like fic writers are mega rich Netflix writers/producers who can pump out a million shows a year or shein factories that can instantly dupe the latest outfit trending on social media. And I’m not saying this to attack ppl who do want representation, but I also kinda am bc do these ppl not realize and incredibly difficult writing is?? I’ve been getting into the practice of daily writing and holy shit I don’t think I’ve ever challenged myself more. It takes so much love and dedication to finish any writing project, let alone try to finish one that someone is forcing onto you. And that’s not even taking into consideration how terrifying it can be to open up your work to public, especially considering fanfic writing is a hobby and not a profession where you need criticism to improve. Anyways this was all over the place and I’m done ranting. I just wanted to say THANK YOU and let you know many people appreciate all the work you’ve decided to your craft bc you’re an incredible writer (and ppl are ungrateful and annoying) xx

no let's beat the dead horse i love beating dead horses i beat dead horses every day on this blog lmao

but truly i agree w everything u said!! a lot of the discourse i see surrounding "wlw rep" in fic is working off this faulty consumerist premise that ultimately just drags fanfiction further into a consumer economy imo. also just on a hater note i do think it's ironic that a lot of these people who say stuff like "ugh where's my 500k wlw fic!!" "where's my long fic focused on the girls!!" "where's my atyd for sapphics!!" when told they can write wlw fics themselves if they want 2 see them will then turn around and go "not everyone has the time and energy and creativity to write!!! writing's really hard!!" like....do we see the irony here 😐

anyway thank u 4 the appreciation!! very happy i get 2 share my silly little stories w people who actually want 2 read + enjoy them <3

TAG GAME: EIGHT SHOWS TO GET TO KNOW ME

tagged by @sophiedevreaux thank u you're so sweet 💖 now watch out, you're about to gain more knowledge of old british sitcoms than anyone other than me has ever needed or wanted

💛 the good life - the ultimate. the love of my life. the only show. if you want to feel better about everything ever, watch the good life. it's hilarious, it's ingenious, it's the 1970s, the cast are golden, and everyone is so terribly nice.

💛 scott & bailey - one of sally wainwright's great masterpieces, and probably my favourite of her shows these days, featuring truly incredible, wonderfully written milf detectives (meaning janet, gill, and julie. rachel is ... also there) catching murderers.

💛 gilmore girls - who doesn't wish they lived in stars hollow? i just want to eat at luke's every day, go to town meetings, attend all the little events. this show is so clever, so well-written, so comforting, so good. lorelai, emily, and luke my beloveds. let's just pretend season six never happened.

💛 2point4 children - possibly this should have been first bc honestly 2point4 children represents so much of my personality. it's fantastic. it's hilarious. the writing is exemplary. bill porter is a genius, a queen, and The Goal character to portray. if i were a tv trope, i'd be Deadpan Snarking, Long-Suffering Matriarch in an old british sitcom, of which she is the quintessential example. also, this show centres around a married couple named bill and ben. i told you, it's genius.

💛 the thin blue line - ben elton's great masterpiece. i'm not saying the young ones and blackadder aren't good too, bc they are, but the thin blue line is god tier. it's so great, so cleverly written, and so, so funny. i can recite whole scenes, and, yet, they're still so funny every time i rewatch. it's brilliant.

💛 dinnerladies - sometimes when i'm having a conversation about victoria wood people tell me they don't like dinnerladies, and i'm like what the fuck is wrong with you. i can recite most of this show by heart, i've seen it so many times. victoria wood was the most incredible observational comic, and this show is a masterpiece. it's hilarious, it's ingenious. i defy you to find a better, more insightful comic and / or writer than victoria wood. you can't do it. she was the greatest, and this show is the fucking best.

💛 broadchurch - what can i say, i really enjoy the west country, clever mysteries, great writing, lady detectives, raw emotions, and older lesbians (especially when they're as iconic as maggie radcliffe). they really combined a whole lot of my key interests in one brilliant tv programme.

💛 wentworth - the show that brought me back to tumblr after i was absent for years. it's dark, it's brilliant, it's female-driven, there are several sapphic women, and you never know what's coming next. also, bridget westfall is the most incredible character, and a lesbian who gives me so much validation, as well as being so incredibly beautiful i can't get over it (how @ libby tanner) and the love she + franky have for each other is also so incredible and beautiful to see.

[shogvnate]

@rosestarlightkatarina thnank u for the tag it is one am and i'll be doing this before i sleep

here're ten things? facts? about me

1. i know french, arabic, english (obviously), and ofc my mother's tongue, indonesian. but only fluent in eng and indonesian, understands most of french but cannot for the life of me pronounce the words, and understands arabic (not the slangs. i don't understand the slangs 😭)

2. i'm short by european/american standards, 5'3" short, but considered average in my country.

3. i've been writing for at least 5 years and my first fanfic was of bnha. (dark times, dark times.)

4. i have four cats. their respective names come from four different languages. i love taking silly pictures of them simply because my mom hates it when i do that 😭

5. i'm a sucker for the golden retriever x black cat trope no matter how overused it is because I will eat that shit up like crazy. villain x hero is also a good one, orrrr villain x random guy who works a 9-5 job and sometimes accidentally convinces people that they're the actual bad guy, it's a good comedic trope.

6. twitter traumatized me.

7. i have this strange curiosity towards morally grey characters, like i want to crack them open and study how they think. like hey you overthrew the church because you believe they did bad stuff? tell me more. tell me why you think that way. please. pleas ples

8. you know this kind of made me realize that maybe i don't know nothing abt myself at all because I ran out of things 😭

9. i love i love love llobev mia wimters

10. i'm a cis woman. also a sapphic, but most of the time I just say i'm bisexual (unfortunately, I am still attracted to men). i'm also cupioromantic, meaning i desire romantic relationships but not necessarily feel romantic attraction, aka arospec. did I mention that I ramble a lot? no? now you know. yay!

Tagging: if u see this, u can also do it! why? because it's quick and it's free. (totally not bc I don't know anyone else here)

ok gn

[mevweasley]

won't keep this too long lmao // not proofread (i really wanted to make a formal version of this but eventually decided to keep it intimate and casual) 1. not having to force myself to be affectionate (romantically) with other people. for example they know i'm touch-averse so i don't feel obligated to initiate touch. same goes for relationships. it's hilarious to see their appalled faces when i tell them i don't want to be in a relationship 2. actually none. or maybe people's invasive questions. allos are obsessed with relationships so i always end up having to tell them [time and time again] that i'm not interested. i was also forced to reciprocate one of my suitors' affections when i was younger because every student in my section was forcing me to. i liked him, but in a queerplatonic manner, and when i confronted him about wanting to simply be friends with him, he took it too personally. i gave him a very "heartfelt" letter because i really, really felt guilty. i liked the idea of other people liking me but i really don't wish to reciprocate it. i just like the idea of being "liked". romance never really made me feel comfortable and i blocked him bc i was uncomfortable, then i got guilty again and unblocked him. all of the romantic scenarios they imposed upon me traumatized me and made me feel uncomfortable. i realized that i felt comfortable around my family and friends more and never felt the need to chase people for validation. perhaps when time comes i'll pursue one (preferably a queerplatonic one) but im a lot happier where i am currently. 3. bordeaux/burgundy 4. ooooo uh green. the green at the topmost region 5. sapphic n achillean. + the sunset aroace flag :D so pretty 6. all !! i love em all 7. nope, sadly </3 country isn't too accepting 8. being obsessed with dinos n ND-coded fandoms 9. about 2022 but i was still not sure that time with the suitor thing going on (as mentioned above). i really don't know where i identify in the spectrum and i don't wish to limit myself with a microlabel so the term 'arospec' works for me (+ it's a lot easier for people to digest) 10. i tried, with my irl friends. they're...tolerating, but not too accepting. 'aw mev you're going to be single forever?' 'wdym didn't you like the suitor or fictional characters' etc etc,, you know the whole story. one is sorta...accepting, though. but i never mentioned it again. after all, i only come out to people who'll understand me, i.e. temporary online friends or tumblr moots 11. that they're completely devoid of emotions. lmfao we're not robots + love, affection n attraction comes in different forms n ways 12. don't feel pressured. it is a spectrum, after all, and it's fluctuating. the most important thing is that you're comfortable about yourself. labels aren't important. we'll always be here for you every step of the way 13. loads, online! and a former classmate, but the former classmate still thinks im bi (bc i once identified as bi and didn't know what to properly label myself) bc we haven't talked for so long 14. nope! i rlly love it being a big fan of green myself 15. oooo, movie !! little miss sunshine. pure family movie. i love it. the best ever. 16. i don't think this is...specifically aro BUT soldier, poet, king. i just really love it and im glad romance wasn't ever mentioned or involved 17. the lord of the rings. i could talk about it for hours. and as much as i respect the shipping of characters i've always imagined them as a family instead. like frodo and sam's lifelong friendship 18. that aro blast meme!! the ones where the bald character questions the aro for liking fictional characters and then. BLAST. 19. OH MY GOD SUCH A HARD QUESTION. UHHHHH i love them all though !! frogs win this time <33 20. "you just haven't found the right person" wtf do you mean. i found the right person. malcolm tucker. and he's like a dad to me

[ghostsarecool]

when people say that voting for a democrat as harm reduction is “only harm reduction for those in america” and only “harm reduction for the privileged in america” as if it’s not the most vulnerable americans that republicans are coming for first AND as if tr**mp wouldn’t allow netanyahu to commit worse crimes in palestine ? like as much as bidens administration has been supporting netanyahu, JD vance literally was like “we need to help them finish the job” meanwhile biden actually considered halting weapons shipments (which is not even remotely enough! he’s still a guy who is committing genocide! and yet! you can see from right wing israelis saying that Biden doesn’t support israel enough that they know there is a difference even if biden is an insane zionist by any normal standards). and then domestically when people are like “it would only be harm reduction for privileged americans” and it’s just like. yes the 15-20 million people that Trump wants to deport are so privileged!!! like yes whatever democrat might get elected would surely be deporting undocumented immigrants as well but democrats tend to focus on deporting people with criminal histories and recent arrivals while trump just wants to deport as many undocumented people as possible bc they’re what. “tainting american blood” or some bullshit? and it would be easier for trump to accomplish this goal with a supreme court that’s on his side. And then there’s the issue of climate change which we know affects the most vulnerable first both within the U.S. and the world so the project 2025 goals of destroying NOAA and the EPA and deregulating everything etc etc are going to have knock on effects the world over that hit the most marginalized first/hardest! which isn’t to say that Kamala is some sort of climate hero but at least shes not likely to destroy environmental regulatory infrastructure and unlike biden she’s opposed to fracking. and none of this means that there aren’t many many privileged people who support democrats /votebluenomatterwho🙄 BECAUSE it allows them to maintain their privilege and the status quo etc…. and it just feels too late for a third party candidate to be viable especially given that people advocating voting third party can’t agree on WHICH third party candidate we should all vote for. like i just think for a third party candidate to win there would have to be a huge groundswell of support for one candidate and i don’t see that happening right now bc people are split with stein, williamson, west, the PSL ticket that i can’t remember the names of and even fucking RFK jr. Also somewhat unrelated but i was watching a documentary the other day about the sapphic women involved in the irish revolution and they were all leftist feminist socialists etc who envisioned a free Ireland as an egalitarian socialist society and that’s what they fought for but ultimately the anti-treaty side of the irish civil war was defeated and the subsequent irish free state set up by the treatyists that won was a strongly conservative Catholic society. which is to say that as noble as they were and as right as they were to have revolted against the british, revolutions don’t always end the way you want them to. Anyway. i think people need to understand that the ways democrats and republicans are the same (they don’t care about you, they ultimately serve capitalism, imperialism, white supremacy etc) doesn’t mean that there aren’t material differences in how they would govern that can and will make the difference in how much marginalized people suffer in this country and the world. if they’re going to suffer either way, i think i would choose less suffering over more.

[fuglyjeans]

1-35 faggot

Yay ❤️thanks fag ❤️

1. are you beating the uhaul allegations?

I moved across the country to live with my gf after 2 years long distance. So, kinda? We only visited each other I think 6 times before the move. Idk if that's fast or not

2. Do you identify as butch, femme, masc, and/or gnc?

I've been considering the label femme. I find a lot of joy through playing with makeup and fashion, and my style is very girly.

3. How did you realize you were Sapphic?

When I was a teen I always in the back of my head kind of thought yeah I'd do a girl. But that's cause of my sin nature! Then during college I fell in love with my best friend(thats u 42069gay), lost my faith... then tried to date some men but every interaction made me want to rip my eyeballs out. I started to ID as a lesbian after a date with this guy that went really well, but I just felt so uncomfortable thinking about becoming his girlfriend. We hugged goodbye and I felt so scared of the idea of him kissing me. I cried all the way home on the train... and that's when I knew in my bones. i was lesbo

4. Who is/was your most intense Sapphic crush?

My gf! :3

5. Do you consider yourself a dyke?

Umm ig that depends how you mean it, I'm not sure if that's a label I'm allowed to use tbh. I'm a lesbian. I'm not masc, but I rise and put my right hand over my heart when anyone mentions dykes supporting fags.

6. Are you good at picking up when people are flirting with you, or do you tend to be more oblivious?

I can definitely tell, but my anxiety causes me to second-guess it.

7. Have you ever crushed on a straight girl?

There was this girl I went to church with during my college years, who started making out with me whenever we got drunk. (That shit kind of hurt 😕)

8. What's your relationship status? Are you happy about it?

I'm in a long-term relationship 💕 Our 4 year anniversary is next week, and I'm very happy.

9. Do you have a "type"? If so, what is it?

I've always been most attracted to women who are very feminine, but have some kind of odd or punk edge. women with bangs energy I guess. Brittany Murphy, Bjork, Lady Gaga, SZA, Kathleen Hanna. etc

10. Did you do anything gay as a kid that makes sense when you look back on your childhood?

There was this time in middle school when I was sleeping over at my friend's house. we were lying side-by-side in her bed, tracing circles on each other's backs and I got super turned on. She kind of prepositioned me in a joking way and I flipped out, but for years afterwards I wished I had reacted differently and fantasized about how that night could have gone. I have no idea how I didn't realize this was very gay

11. What are some good Sapphic songs/music artists?

Chappell Roan is my fave. Bikini Kill, Lady Gaga and Hayley Kiyoko r also very special to me. Also check out suspected lesbian Connie Converse she's so cool. Here's 3 random wlw songs I love too: -> Kissing Lessons by Lucy Dacus -> Don't Try Suicide by Team Dresch -> Pynk by Janelle Monae

12. Good Sapphic books/poems/authors?

I'm the worst for this bc I don't read enough :( but: -> The Color Purple by Alice Walker ->The Well of Loneliness by Radclyffe Hall ->My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness by Kabi Nagata

13. Good Sapphic movies/shows?

-> Revolutionary Girl Utena -> Portrait of a Lady On Fire -> But I'm a Cheerleader -> Heavenly Creatures -> Jennifer's Body -> Steven Universe sorryyy

14. List five things you look for in a partner or five things you love about your current partner.

1. Her honesty. Our biggest strength is communication 2. Her creativity and excellent taste in all kinds of art. She reminds me not to worry about the things I can't control!! Which I really need. Repeatedly 3. She doesn't believe in cringe; she's the most non-judgemental person I know. 4. When we get delusional and insane over the same character 🫶💕

15. Are you the gay cousin?

Yes lmao and the gay sister and the gay aunt.

16. Do you consider being Sapphic a big part of your identity?

Yes very much so!

17. How many people have you dated? Talk about them if you want!

Like 2. I have really bad social anxiety and was a totally weird late bloomer. I went on a few different dates but only *dated* one person before I met my s/o. It was super awkward, she was sweet but we were both very inexperienced and shy and I guess there just wasn't enough chemistry. we kind of hung out for 6 months, never kissed or made anything official, then I moved out of state and we ghosted each other... v awkward time but I do have some fun memories

18. Thoughts on e-dating or long distance? Have you ever done it? How did it go?

I totally support it. I think anonymity is what some of us need to allow ourselves to be vulnerable... I met my partner on tumblr, it was the only place I felt safe being my whole cringey self at the time. I always used to think it was weird to date someone you've never met, but once I found her I said what the hell, I have nothing to lose. Luckily it went well!! It's unconventional, but so is everything about my life.

19. describe your fashion sense. do you "dress gayly"?

I would say no, most people assume I'm straight. I have a somewhat basic wardrobe... My fashion sense is much campier and more colorful than my wallet allows.

20. do you consider yourself to be a good kisser?

I have no idea. I try my best

21. are you generally "out" to people?

Most of the time I try to be. I'm not out at work, because the vibe there is rather conservative (like, Bible tracts on the wall) so I don't feel safe just telling anyone.

22. how do you feel about valentine's day?

I like it a lot more, now that I'm no longer an adult virgin :)

23. do you like being referred to with masculine adjectives, feminine adjectives, both, or neither?

She/her I'm very cis

24. thoughts on marriage?

I like the idea of having a ceremony, but I don't know if I'd want to be legally married. I would need to read up on the ramifications of that a bit more.

25. have you ever gone to a pride parade?

yes! I marched in my hometown once, and I went to Boston Pride in 2019. I haven't been to any since but I mean to

26. do you read yuri manga?

nope

27. do you fit any sapphic stereotypes / other stereotypes related to your identity?

I have short fingernails and too many cats

28. what's a canon sapphic ship you enjoy?

Petra Solano x Jane Ramos, from Jane The Virgin. It wasn't the best written imo, BUT I'm just a huge Petra fan, and I was so happy to see her find gay love.

29. how about a non-canon sapphic ship?

Hinata Hyuga x Sakura Haruno from Naruto. I will die on this hill. They would be so soft and encouraging for each other. I used to be so fucking invested in this, it was all I would ever draw in my sketchbooks

30. who's your favorite sapphic character?

Anthy Himemiya. She's just. a kaleidoscope of trauma and love and bitterness. also, this isn't canon but I truly truly see Bev Keane from Midnight Mass as a lesbian. She just reminds me too much of myself when I was younger and I feel for her and I love her lots

31. LEAST favorite sapphic character?

Molly Bolt from Rubyfruit Jungle. I guess she's not that bad, but I just fucking hated this book

32. tell a funny story about something really gay you've done.

convinced myself I was in a queerplatonic relationship so that I wouldn't have to confront the fact I wasn't straight

33. do you get crushes/fall in love easily?

not really, I've only had a small handful of those experiences

34. who's a sapphic person you look up to? they can be someone in your life, a historical figure, a celebrity, etc!

Lady Gaga. She's so smart and so weird and so HERSELF. even when I disagree with something she does/says, I appreciate her sincerity and her gumption.

35. if you could tell your younger sapphic self anything, what would it be?

Girl you are allowed to trust your gut. Your feelings are holy, don't hold yourself hostage. If there is a God, and if he really is loving, he wouldn't want that for you.

Song stuck in my head: "Closer" by Ne-Yo

Last thing you googled: The translstion of some words from Portuguese to Yoruba

Time: 6:15 pm

Dream trip: London, definitely. I've always had a sense of nostalgia while looking at pics of this city, and the weather is perfect for someone who hates the tropical weather of their own country!

Last thing you read: a brazilian e-book called "A Raposa que Caça um Urso" (The Fox that haunts a Bear) by Adrielle Almeida and I LOVE IT SO MUCH

Last book you enjoyed reading: My actual reading is also a brazilian e-book called "O Medo é Feito de Gelo" (The Fear is Made of Ice) by L. S. Englantine, a sapphic romance between a hockey player and a figure skater.

Last book you hated reading: The Infinity Courts. I was so hyped and just became disappointed.

Favorite thing to cook/bake: I'm a disaster in the kitchen! I've almost set the store where I worked on fire trying to make tea 😭 But I love make coffe when I'm not feeling so clumsy.

Favorite craft to do in your free time: I LOVE making colorful beaded bracelets! It helps calm my thoughts.

Most niche dislike: The only thing I can think rn is Harry Potter. On internt this is normal, but everytime I say that I've always hated that books, people looked at me like I was an alien.

Opinion on circuses: This will be a controversial one. Yes, I hate the way animals are treated in these places. But since I was a child I have been fascinated by circus artists, for me what they do is the closest thing to magic irl. So my heart is always divided when thinking about this, sorry!

Do you have any sense of direction? DEFINITELY NO! Look, I'm a mess and I'm not even kidding. I get lost when play videogames bc the maps always get me confused. I memorize the ways irl by the colours and forms of the houses and stores at it. I can't even memorize streets names.

Tell us about your D&D character: I don't have one at the moment, so I'll tell about the protagonist of the story I'm writing. Her name is Atena, and she's an ex-Formula 1 driver who commands the team where she used to compete while fights for more equality in the sport.

[winterserendipity]

“Their bond does not exist for our enjoyment. It's theirs. They can share without outting themselves. They can share without confirmation. They can not share without suddenly becoming enemies. They are real people, not characters in stories.”

I love this and Storm has put into a few simple words all my opinions on the matter.

I have some points to make:

1- I’ve seen countless times the argument of “if they are a closeted couple in a homophobic country why would they post X selca or why would the company release a video depicting Y moment” and I don’t think people understand how LGBT couples - or any real life couple - work. Jikook are in a glass closet. Which essentially means they can’t come out, but that doesn’t mean they can’t or even don’t want to demonstrate their closeness and intimacy and there’s a lot that a couple - especially a same-sex couple - can get away with and can be explained by “it’s friendship”, “they’re like brothers” (and funny enough, it works! Look at this fandom!). There’s a phrase that me and my friends always say - “just because a country is homophobic, doesn’t mean queer people don’t exist there and just because a queer couple can’t be fully out it doesn’t mean they have to be completely silent about it”. It’s almost like people place the burden of being “discreet” on the queer couple themselves. Which leads to point number 2:

2- Queer couple have varying degrees of being “out”. Being out is not black and white. As someone who is queer and has been in a sapphic relationship for over 15 years, legally married for 5, I’ll say I’ve had moments when I have proudly shoved my marriage down people’s throats and moments that I didn’t correct someone who thought my wife was a friend or even my sister. Let me tell you: being out is a constant exercise in a heteronormative world and sometimes you just get tired and choose your battles. I see the same with Jikook: sometimes they are loud as fuck and sometimes they just wanna keep their love life to themselves. Being out is not linear and just because a queer couple has been more “explicit” in the past doesn’t mean they’ll be progressively more out. And I’ll talk further about it on point 3:

3- Ultimately, a couple’s relationship is between them and they should set the pace of how much they want to show people and when - which is something even more adamant for a queer not-out couple. And that’s a good thing, because imagine how tiresome it is to have to be wary of every little interaction you have with the person you love, especially after you’ve been together for so long and are so domestic around each other - let alone a couple like Jikook who have every single interaction heavily scrutinized and are targeted with so much hatred. It’s probably a very difficult balance between wanting to be like a normal couple and being cute and funny and sickly sweet together but also wanting to preserve themselves from hate and criticism. So they allow us how much they want us to see, which is understandably VERY LITTLE. How many times have we been utterly surprised by what BTS have been doing and we realized months later they filmed this, recorded that, came up with so and so content while we thought they were at home watching dramas, eating fried chicken and listening to other people’s music (which they also do a lot too lol)? We have the illusion that we know much about their lives bc of the overload of content we get from them, the spoiled fans that we are, but we don’t know about 80% of what they do in the privacy of their lives. And we shouldn’t be because it’s exactly that: their privacy.

So Jikook don’t owe us anything. It’s a huge privilege to be able to witness the beautiful bond they have and we should always keep in mind that it’s exactly that: a privilege. We’re not entitled a coming out, an explanation, a confession, joint content or anything else.

As an army and a jikook supporter, all I want from them is to be happy - alone or together, in front of our eyes or in complete privacy, whatever they choose and works best for them.

I don't follow or keep track of tiktok couples who got famous by making their relationship their job. Queer or straight couples, because I think that's a bad idea, but that's a whole seperate post (that we could relate to jikook as well if you want).

Oh please make one. I also think one of the major reason they became so private is to keep their relationship safe,not just from military or anything but just to keep it private and safe as possible. The reason nick and Pierre broke up was they started to feel like their relationship became more of a brand than an actual relationship. Like posting about your partner or private life once in a while is ok, especially if you are at two different places career wise, but making it your whole job and personality is definitely hard as gradually it will be just job and playing out characters for media than actual relationship.

Lowkey, saw this guy Chris from tiktok who said most of what I could say about it, he went through his own tiktok relationship public breakup too, it was awhile ago I believe. A relationship is between 2 people. You can share without giving it up for public consumption. You can share some stories and moments and your love without jeopardizing your privacy if you want to. And that's important.

Your intimacy as a couple together is meant for the 2 of you, not for people to invite themselves into. Tom Holland and Zendaya are a really good more recent example of a couple who does this. Jikook do not owe anyone confirmation of their relationship together (romantic or not) for it to exist. Their bond does not exist for our enjoyment. It's theirs. They can share without outting themselves. They can share without confirmation. They can not share without suddenly becoming enemies. They are real people, not characters in stories. Making your relationship what you base your content on or what you talk about all the time, makes things more fictional (for lack of a better word, it's not quite what I mean, but hopefully yall understand) at times because you don't just get to experience things, you have to turn them into a story for your audience too. And there is pressure to give the audience what they want. No one is owed anything here. From anyone online or from BTS or from Jikook. Everyone's relationships are their own.

I don't want Jikook to come out or confirm their relationship or anything. I want them to stay safe. I want them to only ever come out if and when they feel safe to do so. And if that's never, that's fine by me. I'd love it for the representation given on such a global scale, but I'd hate it because I worry about their safety enough ALREADY. Lol

[the-hilda-librarians-wife]

I spent too long thinking about this AU since queueing this post, so have some visuals for:

Kaisa:

Johanna-Edmund pair:

Kaisa and Johanna eventually skating together (unrealistic bc of Kaisa only skating on her own, but either bear with me or picture this being Johanna's fantasy):

Bonus lore for this AU under the cut:

Johanna-Ed duo are on the “older” side (for this sport, I mean). I imagine Johanna would be around 35, with Ed a few years ahead of her. They’ve been competing for a long while and are big names, have earned some very notable awards at that, but never Olympic gold.

That (and many other near wins of theirs) is due solely due to the fact that for the pair performances the judges tend to look for love stories and romantic/sexual chemistry between the partners

Needless to say, they’ve spent their entire careers advocating for a change in that mindset (what else could a sapphic/gay sibling pair do, am I right?)

Kaisa is just now popping up in the more important competitions of the country (and soon outside of it as well), quickly gathering a fan following and earning judges’ favour with her alluring and graceful performances

She’d been skating her whole life, but had never really competed outside of very local tournaments because she felt insecure about it, but was always very well known among everyone that trains in the same ring as her

Something Changed in recent times (maybe something to do with the Committee people having been on her hair and then suddenly not anymore? I’m working on it) that gave her the push she needed to actually start making a career out of figure skating. And that’s how she quickly became regarded as one of the country’s best

Johanna and Edmund train in a ring so unknown it’s basically particular, being a couple of kilometers outside the city center. Meanwhile, the ring where Kaisa has skated since she was 7 is smack in the middle of town and run by a kindly old woman who used to be a skater as well

(That being Tildy, obviously. She used to do pair skating with Peter Ostenfeld as her pair)

I mentioned the possibility of her being in this verse in the tags, BUT @blaithnne’s Lauren would probably fit in very well here, even if only to show up and Serve. [Sadie if you’re seeing this and I mischaracterize your girl too much let me know (or if you just Don’t Want Her Involved, just tell me as well!!)]

So, anyway, Lauren is Johanna’s oldest daughter, and she’s in her late teens here. She also takes an interest in skating, but doesn’t train with her family in their ring, because: 1- it’s too far and 2- skating with her mum and uncle feels Weird.

She attends, of course, Tildy’s ring. Meaning she’s had plenty of contact with Kaisa, even if she doesn’t have a lot of interest in competing outside of the events that Tildy herself organizes for the skaters that train there.

I don’t think Lauren would like to make a career out of competing, in my mind she skates for fun (and for posting on tiktok probably). But when she does compete in those inside events…. Oh boy…. The two of them sure be interacting…

Especially since her and Kaisa are in the same modality, so Lauren is always like “why is this woman who is like TWELVE YEARS OLDER than me competing here”. She would probably confront Kaisa about the reason for her being Olympics level skilled but still competing in, like, their ring’s end of the year tournament or something.

Though I know Lauren is a very insecure person so maybe it would even do her well to know that there’s someone around who is even MORE

(I think Kaisa would probably act as an instructor for younger skaters before gathering the courage to sign up for bigger tournaments. The image of Lauren being taught by her and then competing against her is hilarious to me)

(Scratch that, Kaisa definitely works as an instructor in Tildy’s ring. And Tildy not only pays her, obviously, but also lets her have the ring all to herself before opening hours and after closing time. And she coaches her and gives choreography advice a couple of days a week)

OH I described how I pictured everyone’s styles but not Lauren’s. I’m imagining that she does these upbeat performances that are more dancing than skating and Kaisa goes insane that her routines are so beloved by everyone without focusing as much on technique as Kaisa does lmao.

Visual for that: https://youtu.be/pni4-b7nPw4

Technically speaking I'm not 100% sure if this is in character for her (I seem to perceive Lauren as more confident than she actually is KJDHKJDFH) but it's definitely the Funniest possibility

Anyway. Kaisa arrives at some national tournament, eventually, and Ed-Johanna are obviously there too. Insert here the typical crush/admiration at first sight scenario (no rivalry because they’re in different disciplines thank God) where they keep getting closer and closer every tournament they meet and spending all the time they aren’t training with each other

They are however idiots and never ask each other about what city they live in. And Kaisa is even a bigger idiot because she thinks the siblings are married

(Lmao meanwhile Ed has a crush on the cryptic guy who is somehow running that ice clearing cart every tournament. What the hell is that thing called)

One time Johanna mentions her awe for Kaisa’s skill at the dinner table, and Lauren immediately huffs and begins going on about how annoying she can be and about she kept competing in the same tiny tournaments for years until she got the courage to begin rising

Johanna is like “WHAT??? You knew her??? Why didn’t you say anything or mention her ever??”

“Pft. Never seemed worth mentioning, she’s not all that” *yes she’s talking about the woman who just won gold in an international tournament*

From then on they’re able to actually hang out instead of just stealing moments when they’re in the same tournament

I bet Johanna would eventually say a sentence starting with “My brother-“, leading Kaisa to go “oh, I didn’t know you had a brother! :)”

Live Johan a reaction to that: 👁️👄👁️

Either that or the ‘Hilda running up to them and calling Ed her uncle’ option. Either way as soon as she catches up Lauren goes “shucks, fun is over :(“

Hmmm I’m not sure where any of this goes from then on. But I’m sure it ends with Kaisa feeling absolutely free to continue her career however way she wants it and getting the recognition she deserves, and with Johanna-Ed scoring that Olympic gold. And with Lauren slaying for eternity, of course

Oh and Hilda is a hockeu player, like I said in the tags. She's just happy to be there

Figure skating sketchbook AU where Kaisa is a singles skater and Johanna is a pairs skater and they start meeting at competitions. Kaisa is this black horse type of athlete who nobody knows where she came from but begins earning her success and fame because of her dramatic performances, flexibility and jumps, not to mention her witchy aesthetics. Johanna and her pair, Edmund, are known for their sync and impressive strength, their main focus being the storytelling that they’ve decided to direct towards stories that aren’t about romance, but rather about literally anything else, always with praise worthy creativity.

Kaisa tries to repress her feelings, of course. Johanna is obviously married to her partner, judging by how connected they are on the ice, and by the fact that they have the same surname.

She only realizes otherwise when Hilda shows up to congratulate her mother after a competition and yells “uncle, you did amazing!”

[colour-outside-the-liness]

Hi Colour! How are you doing today? I don't know about doing meaningful things with my life, feel like I've just been surviving this entire time lol. However I am trying to figure it out and working on building the life I want to live and hopefully I will be able contribute to this world in some way.

I don't think I've ever played a game of trivial pursuit. Have never been to a pub either, not like the ones you have in the UK anyway. Just been to very dirty bars where me and my friends used to drink as much as we could afford, shared questionable food that could potentially make us sick the next day and there were no quizzes or games really haha. So your exp sounds way more fun! 😂

I'm glad you're giving the song a chance! Only Spotify knows how many times I've listened to it lol. I reckon Hozier's going to be my artist of the year for 2021. I love attributing works of art to Dani x Jamie, have a whole ass Pinterest board full with images of paintings, poetry, music and anything that I think relates to them really (yeah I know, I have a problem).

I love everything you've said about how Dani, Viola and the lady in the lake are alike, I hadn't really thought about their similarities before, but everything you've said makes perfect sense. I always saw Viola as a narcissist, even her drive to protect her child felt selfish in a way, don't know if you know what I mean. And when she fades away and becomes the lady she's just pure (almost animalistic) instinct while on auto pilot, bc she only remembers rage and abandonment, she takes anything on her path aggressively unless they're a child. So what she sees in Dani is not processed logically, right? It's pure instinct and emotions, so what she recognizes in her when Dani invites her in is the desperate need to protect this child, so she sees her as deserving. Perhaps she also saw in Dani and opportunity to escape this nightmare. Despite all her faults she didn't deserve what happened to her either.

And don't get me wrong, Jamie is so, so strong and solid and she is my favorite mostly bc I identify with her personality more than Dani's. But we know Jamie is all that even before we learn her story, and I feel like it is expected that she'll be the strong and brave one bc she's had to be that her entire life albeit unwillingly. But Dani? We expect her to break at any given point, I mean she is reaching her limit after all that's happened, with all the weight she's carrying. I remember thinking "Jesus, this girl needs help" when I first watched the show hahaha. But she fights every damn time, she doesn't run away and that's why I find her so fascinating. That's why I thought this song was so fitting. Even if Dani would never see herself that way. But it's Jamie's perspective (and fire signs tend to exaggerate everything 😂) so it feels fitting that she thinks so highly of her baby haha. Ugh I just wanted them to stay together forever. 🥺

Omg yes! I love how you refined this idea, good thing you're a writer and I'm not hahaha. And yeah I'm absolutely here for sapphics with weapons like holy shit imagine Jamie fighting with a sword? 🤤 I'm weak. Hahaha would be cool to see them in a pirate AU too! Maybe someone's already done it? Idk. But aaaah I want to see them in every possible universe hahaha. Makes me want to get back into drawing too. 😩

Aww you two sound like you have a lovely bond going on. Your niece sounds like the coolest! I started out drawing anime too when I was a kid and ended up doing graphic design for a living! How did learning how to draw anime style go for you today?

Hey I'm doing great thank you I hope you are too? I know that feeling because I feel like that's how I have made it to 27 just surviving (barely) and taking things one day at a time to get me to this point and hopefully I can contribute in some way even it its just a small way... so I totally get that feeling but I am sure you contribute so much without you even realising it!! Oh it's great but depending on how competitive the people you're playing with are it can get pretty heated... I've been in some heated games of it before because people just refuse to believe I know the answers to some of the questions and they think I've been cheating and have all but demanded I have another question asked instead of the one I got right... and pub quizzes can be fun again depending on the team you're in and how seriously you wanna take it I have been in teams where its been a serious thing and we have all desperately wanted to win and then I've been in teams and we've just had fun with it... all the pubs I go in are dirty bars too but sometimes they have pub quizzes... I have had many nights where I have drank what I can afford... one night me on my roommate went over board though and we ended up spending ALL our money even our taxi fair and we had to walk home in the dark along country roads with hardly any lights to guide us... because of how drunk we were it too us around 3-4 hours and I fell over a road sign and ended up in a ditch... I've had a lot of fun experiences but some really stupid ones as well... your experiences sound great though!! I would love that!! I listened to the song and I loved it so much!! I don't even wanna know what my most listened to artist will be this year... my money is on it being the Six musical soundtrack... probably All You Wanna Do from that musical I'll be surprised if it's anything else. I would love for it to be someone like Hozier, but ever since I have done my Spotify wrapped thing it's always been a musical of some kind that's been my number 1 song / artist haha I love doing the same thing. If I can make something fit Dani x Jamie I will like it doesn't even matter what it is haha... I don't think you have a problem I think that sounds so cool!! I have nothing like that. I just have a head full of random ideas screaming to be let out I agree Viola is definitely selfish and narcissistic and everything she did came from a place of anger and rage over the things that happened to her she fell in love and got married and had a child and saw her sister try and take that from her while she was ill and in the end her sister killed her. Like yeah, I do feel sorry for Perdita with the way she was treated but I do think everything Viola did was out of frustration over what was happening to her. Like you said she acts on auto pilot and only knows rage until it comes to children- because all she knows is she is looking for a child so when she saw Dani so selfless sacrifice herself for a child she saw a little bit of herself in Dani she knows Dani is a good person and she can relate to that protective streak and I think she did see Dani as deserving I definitely agree with everything you've said here. Viola might have had faults and flaws and who doesn't? But I definitely think she had it rough and did deserve better than she was given. I agree, you can tell looking at Jamie that she is strong and brave while Dani comes off as the exact opposite. But I think you see fully how brave they both are when Dani sacrifices herself for Flora and when Jamie offers to keep Dani company and loves her despite knowing she won't be able to love her forever. I love Jamie but definitely relate to Dani's personality more, there are a lot of things Dani does that I see myself in her because I have done those types of things myself and the whole beast in the jungle speech resonates with me so much and every time I watch the last episode and hear that speech I am a crying mess from that point on. It's funny that you thought that about Dani when you first watched it, because me and my sisters got my mum to

watch it and she said the same thing about Dani "she needs help" but then once told me she liked Dani because she reminded her of me that was an interesting conversation to be a part of "Dani needs help... but I like her she's like you." I was like "Thanks?" I agree this song is definitely more how Jamie would see Dani, I think Dani just has a very blasé view of herself, like I don't think she's self conscious or self deprecating in anyway but I think she sort of walks around like "this is me and this is just how I am" where as Jamie just sees Dani for how brave and strong and amazing she is- maybe even if as a fire sign she exaggerates a little bit haha Jamie just thinks Dani is the most amazing person in the world and I just know that Dani saw her the same way!! I really wanted them to be together forever... I am never going to emotionally recover from Bly Manor. Your idea was incredible and I think it would be a great story to read honestly that's the type of thing I live for!! OMG Jamie with a sword is just 🤤 🥵 I am all for sapphics and weapons of any kind!! There's this pirate AU which is absolutely amazing!! I don't know if you've read it or not but iamalekza writes some really great fics!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/28631598/chapters/70179306 ^^ Pirate AU I really wish I could draw I would love to be able to draw scenes from fics I have read and even ones I have written but I just don't have the skill set for that!! I would love to see other fan arts though I think drawing is such an incredible talent to have and I am in awe of anyone that can do it!! Me and my niece have a great bond, she's like a little mini me (despite almost being as tall as me). She is honestly such a cool kid I have a hell of a lot of fun with her- I'm looking after her again tomorrow and I have no idea what we're gonna do but we will figure something out... she's such a good drawer she's only just started doing it at the beginning of the year and she's really progressed with it... I however have not so I am definitely gonna need more practice. That's so cool that you started out doing anime drawing and then ended up going into a career in graphic design. Again that's a talent that I am just in awe of because it's just something I have never been able to do!!
