LOVE ISLAND USA SEASON 7: THE ISLAND TWIST CONFESSIONALS AND TWEETS

previously on the love island villa...

billie kissed you. hard and certain. like it was the only decision that made sense.

the villa couldn't be more louder than this. most people were screaming and clapping their hands whilst jesse and jason looked like somebody knocked the wind out of their lungs.

you felt her hands on your face and your waist. the desperate need in the way she pulled you in like she’d been holding this in for days. you didn’t pull away not even close. your hands found her hips, your mouth moved with hers, and for a moment, nothing else existed but the two of you.

not the lights. not the rules. not the camera's and definitely not the people watching.

it was just you and her.

confessional: billie o’connell

billie’s cheeks are glowing like somebody applied highlighter on her a little bit too much before she entered the room. her lashes are still damp from the crying earlier or from the kiss, or maybe both. her eyes are darting everywhere except at the camera.

“I should’ve kissed her way sooner,” she blurts out only to freeze a second later eyeing the camera like it pulled the words out of her and it wasn't voluntarily.

her gaze slowly turns away from the lens like it personally offended her and she presses her lips together, clearly trying not to smile.

then she does smile. a big foolish smile of a little girl.

“that felt…” she trails off, looking up like she’s mentally replaying the feeling of the kiss once more.

“...nice.”

her hands cover her face for a second then a squeal breaks out followed by “oh my god.”

there's a pause then she groans, flops back in the confessional seat,'' I want her so bad''

confessional: you

your lips are still a little smudged plump and soft all from the kiss. a grin is plastered across your face and it's so bright it reaches your eyes. your body can’t stop shifting in your seat like, your whole body is high on whatever just happened outside.

“okay, so… even though I’m bisexual, I’ve mostly dated girls,” you start, your hands pressing on your cheeks to cool yourself down. “but I don’t know what I was doing this time around, being with guys because...”

you pause, bite your lip then burst into nervous laughter.

“because I like the girl who just kissed me way more than I’ve ever liked any of the guys. fuck what was I even doing?!”

you throw your head back dramatically, already a little breathless from your own rambling. you lean forward again, eyes wide like you just remembered something.

“she kissed me and my brain just…shut off completely...'' you were giddy and loud then it stopped and you look at the lens suspiciously.

''if my friends are watching this don't even start because I can hear the simp allegations from here'' you say warning them but a small breaks out instead followed but a sigh to ground yourself.

“but anyways regardless of what the host decides to do about us I'm following that girl where ever we end up '' you say sinking into the seat a grin still on your face

confessional: jesse

the second the camera’s on him jesse’s already shaking his head like he just watched a plot twist he did not sign up for. he did

“are they even allowed to do that?” he blurts out, sitting forward like it was the camera and all off america that just knocked the air out of him.

“there’s gotta be some rule, right? like a like a villa code or something that goes against all of that!”

off-camera a producer calmly gestures how there are no rules against what just happened. like none at all

jesse stares at them, blinking his mouth agape. “nah. no way. you’re messing with me.”

when it becomes clear that no, they are not, in fact, messing with him, he slumps back into the chair like someone just deleted his entire strategy.

“fuck, bro… I wasn’t expecting that at all,” he mutters, raking a hand through his hair like maybe he can massage the confusion out of his brain.

he shakes his head again, this time slower, more dazed.

“I just… I didn’t think billie liked her like that even if they were cuddled up somewhere laughing most of the time when she wasn't with me ” but then he pauses and actually registers what he just said.

“actually wait, scratch that now that I say it like that it makes sense .I did think that.” he says confidently like he knew it the entire time

he looks into the camera with a dry, helpless little chuckle.

“now it makes sense no girl can possibly not like my jokes she just likes girls .” he says that referencing all the times billie didn't laugh at his high school jock jokes

MASTERLIST

It’s been 10 months since the worst day of your life. The day you had enough of the place that you weren’t enough for. The place who made you so miserable and insecure. The place that broke you in so many pieces it turned you to dust. The place where you never want to go back to.

It’s been the hardest 10 months of your life. Mourning the life you thought you would have forever was the worst process you got yourself through. How you had to not only get over your ex, Lando, but also the you that wasn’t gonna be you anymore for the rest of your life. And that was the hardest past. Let go of who you were when he was in your life and let go of all the memories. It was like learning to be a functioning human being again. And you also thought you couldn’t bear with being single. You felt so ashamed of not remembering how to approach people or even how to feel attractive yourself. You were nothing after that day.

For your family and friends was heartbreaking too. Not only because they had to mourn lando that now was out of your life so then their lives as well, but also the you they knew before and during the relationship. And now learning to know this new you.

It was hard for the first 3 months but thanks to your friends and intense therapy sessions you eventually got better. You started discovering a part of yourself you didn’t know existed. Leaving lando changed you not 180 degrees but 360. You changed your style, your hair, your humor, your attitude. You spoke up. Had a strong opinion. You started being more selective with people and for a long time you remained single. you worked on you. Trying to give yourself back everything that relationship took away. You made new friends and moved to New York to start a new life. In that city you found you loved music and storytelling so you started a musical career on YouTube and became kind of famous. You also went to university. And now you’re a content creator, you upload vlogs of your everyday life and opinions. You love fashion like crazy and post your outfits on Instagram and TikTok along with your music. And you are back into being happy. Not only with your life but with yourself. You love who you are and what you do for a living. There’s no one you have to follow or leave everything behind. You live now in your own world where you are the thing that matters the most. You feel so grateful you made it through.

But you were also madly loved for who you are. Tania was your new girlfriend. You didn’t even know you liked girls as well. You tried with guys but none of them felt right for you until you met Tania in a little music shop two blocks away from your apartment. It was the most romantic way of meeting someone you believed. You two went to the same shop to buy the same album and oh coincidence of life there was only one copy of it. And that’s how you met. She gave it to you and so you offered her to come to your place and listen to it together. Yeah you offered that to a stranger but she looked so beautiful. You felt something so weird you haven’t ever felt before in your life. His blonde hair so shiny and his brown eyes so deep you could drown in them with no problem. She was gorgeous.

In fact, you never felt so seen until you met her. The way she actually listened to what you had to say. The way he understood your insecurities and tried to help you and figure it out together. The way you could laugh for hours non-stop until you went dry from crying of laughter. When you felt how you felt with her you knew Lando didn’t matter at all. He never loved you for who you were. He never appreciated all of the sacrifices you did for him just because you thought you loved him your entire life. The way you listened and supported him anywhere, anyhow, whenever. You gave everything for him, but what about you? He never noticed you. He never saw you. He never cared about you.

Realizing that hurt at first but then you understood it was the wrong person at the wrong time. Because if you hadn’t been through what he put you through then this wouldn’t be your life and you wouldn’t be this loved.

But you know what they say, life’s a bitch so here you were again in Monaco for Alexandra’s birthday. It was gonna be a huge event in a yacht for all of her friends. So of course you knew lando was coming and you also knew because of Alex he had a new girlfriend as well. You weren’t intimidated by him but you felt a little insecure you know. You felt rather uncomfortable. But Alex was your friend and she was so nice she invited Tania as well and few of your hometown friends so you wouldn’t feel left apart. Alex knew you so well. You always have struggled with fitting in. She was really sweet. But at the same time you were also so excited to see the guys again. You talked to Pierre and kika. They were so excited to see you. You missed them all of course you did. Moving countries and having an ex who drives along them made things ticky. It was complicated to meet and hang around outside weekend races during the year and of course you wouldn’t assist knowing lando was there. You didn’t want to see him. So tonight is fireproof. If you see him again and survive then the paddock should get ready to see you every now and then with you gorgeous girl.

She knew about Lando of course. And she was the most supportive angel to you. Of course she also hated him. And probably could kill him if you let her. But she won’t just because you asked her.

you were going by taxi. You didn’t have your car because you were on the other side of the world and you wouldn’t waste money renting one just to go to a party in a yacht. You didn’t care about appearances anymore. You got to the harbor just in time. Most of the invited guests were already there. You got there with Tania in your hand and your group of friends. You looked around seeing so many familiar faces and the first one to run to you and hug you tightly was Kika followed by Pierre. You giggled on her shoulder hugging her as well.

“Oh my god girl you look fucking beautiful what the fuck I missed you so much” she said on your shoulder so excited to see you. It flattered your heart.

“I missed you too, my love” you said sweetly. And when you pulled apart you hugged Pierre and introduced Tania to them. They were always so warm. You really missed them. A few minutes passed and you were talking along with a lot of the formula 1 drivers and their partners just like the old days. You felt so part of it. And so loved. And all of them were so nice to Tania. She was so excited that she met Max and he posed for a picture with her that it melted your heart completely. You didn’t see lando by the way. He hasn't arrived yet. But Carlos didn’t either so probably they were coming together. After 15 minutes, the birthday girl finally arrived with her prince in hand and all of the guests were there. The yacht was ready as well. Lando was there with her. You knew her of course you did. She was friends with Max and Kelly. Of course you remember her. Lando is so predictable. You wanted to laugh in his face but you didn’t. You didn’t even say hi. You didn’t want to and you guess he didn’t either because he barely looks at you when he arrived.

(…)

The party was formidable and you were already drunk laughing and posing. Kika was trying to take a couple of pictures of you and Tania and the sunset behind you. It was a beautiful picture.

“Oh my god you’re so beautiful” she said finally ending the photo shoot so she showed you the pictures.

It felt so satisfying being back and not giving a fuck about Lando. All of the guys were so welcoming and sweet like they always had been with you.

Tania had to go to the bathroom. “You want me to go with you titi?” You called her by her nickname you created. She smiled and gave you a kiss on your lips.

“I’m okay baby. I’ll be right back” she said and after giving you one last kiss she disappeared through all of the people around heading to the bathroom. You stayed with your group of friends dancing around and having fun. Alex was there two sharing with all of us. You loved that woman. She was one of your closest friends who was there with you to hold you and listen. She knew what it was like. But she is loved unlike you weren’t. You were enjoying yourself until you heard someone clearing their throat like exaggerated. You turned to find lando clearly drunk looking at you with puppy eyes yet so dark. You of course didn’t like to see him.

“Y/n we need to talk” he said almost in a whisper so no one could hear him but you. Inside you felt disgusted. His voice was once your favorite sound, one that could send chills down your spine. Now it kinda repulses you.

“No, we don't need Lando. Just pretend I don’t exist” you said clearly upset by his behavior.

“But I can’t y/n. I couldn't stop looking at you since I arrived. I can’t get you out of my head. I tried. But I don’t know what else to do!” He was clearly drunk. And you were unbothered to be honest. You noticed Carlos and Oscar heard him and looked at you. You just rolled your eyes at lando.

“Then it’s not my fucking problem lando. You had me but you couldn’t give a damn about me. Sorry it's too late. I’m happy now and I am loved” you spitted about to turn when he grabbed your arm for you not to go.

“You said I was the love of your life. What happened to that? I know you’re the love of my life. Please, y/n” he said kind of desperately. You looked at him with a poker face. You felt nothing at all. And yes you were surprised but also so proud. Lando Norris meant nothing at all finally. He couldn’t move you. He didn’t have power over you anymore. You won.

“Well then I need to confess I lied. You weren’t the love of my life Lando. You were the motherfucker of my life. You fucking destroyed me. So stop with all of this bullshit” you said Angry. You were saying the truth without being afraid of it. You didn’t care anymore. Now your life is yours and he had no power over it. And you’re fucking happy. You just needed to make sure he knew it. And watch him suffer. And you could see something broke inside of him when he heard you saying that. Fortunately Tania came back from the bathroom just in time.

“Y/n, babe, is everything alright?” She asked, watching lando a little confused but controlling her desires to kill him right there.

You smiled at her. “Yeah beba all good now that you are here” you said, grabbing her by her waist and kissing her gently. She grabbed your face a little surprised at first. But she couldn’t say no to your lips. She was addicted. you didn’t care lando was there. You just kissed and turned to your group of friends ignoring that he was the guy you loved just like he did when he was with you.

Batfamily Pride Month Special

Stephanie and Cassandra recently came out as bisexual and lesbian (though Cass being written as bi or pan or straight fits her), and since it’s their first Pride Month, they’re not exactly sure what to do. So, they decide to ask their nearest LGBTQ experts.

They meet up with Tim and Kate at the mall, sitting together for lunch.

Cass: We have a question to ask you two.

Stephanie: It’s about Pride Month.

Tim: What do you need to know?

Stephanie: What do we do for Pride Month?

Tim looked at Kate with a knowing smile and took a sip from his milkshake. Kate cleared her throat, ready to tell them what she’d told Tim.

Kate: First, we go to the hospital to see if they’ve found a cure for our gayness. Then, we pray to God for forgiveness. And after that, we hide away. Oh wait — that’s what my great-aunt Lizza told me. Then I told her to eat a sandpaper cock.

Tim: You remembered the exact speech you used with me? Impressive.

Kate: It comes in handy.

Stephanie (typing on her phone): I have to use that last part with my deadbeat dad when Father’s Day rolls around.

Cass giggled, shaking her head with a smile.

Cass: We appreciate the lighthearted comment, but we want to celebrate our first Pride Month and aren't sure how.

Kate: I’m proud of you for wanting that. Honestly, what we usually do is go about our normal lives, buy pride stuff before July 1st hits—

Tim: Laugh at people who complain that it’s also Men’s Health Month and that should be more important, even though they only bring it up during pride month.

Kate (eating her general tso): Since serving in the army, I also get a kick out of homophobes demanding more holidays for veterans and troops, while ignoring all the holidays that already exist for veterans.

Tim: Do they ever backpedal when you bring up those holidays?

Kate: All the time. Then, when I tell them I served, they start stammering. "Gay people in the military? That just doesn’t compute."

Tim laughed.

Tim: After I came out, I hesitated telling people right away that I’m bi. I wait. I wait until they say some homophobic bullshit.

Kate (chuckling): What do you say then?

Tim: “You know I date both genders, right?” And I watch the terror spread across their face. After that, they either double down or backpedal.

Cass (sympathetic tone): Oh, Tim, I’m so sorry you have to go through that.

Tim: No need to apologize. Watching people put their foot in their mouth is hilarious. It’s better than getting offended or upset, I save those reactions.

Kate pointed at Tim, nodding in agreement.

Stephanie (jotting these tips down too): That’s so messy, but that’s why I like you guys. We’ll stay friends no matter what.

Tim: Thanks. Oh, and Kate took me to a Pride parade when I first told her. It was fun, great food, and although there were people protesting with picket signs, standing there stewing in their audacity, we always got a good laugh at their reactions.

Kate: Remember the lady with pancake makeup who screamed at us for being sinners who’d burn in hell?

Tim: Then you used a Bible verse about how her outfit would doom her to hell first and she took a swing at you, but you punched her in the eye. Good times.

Stephanie: That sounds like fun! We have to go to one! Cass, what do you say?

Cass: A parade with the possibility of fighting or just laughing at homophobes and good food? Sounds like the best time, honestly.

Tim: We probably won’t run into those people, but it’s still fun.

Kate: What if we go as a group? I have dresses you can wear.

Stephanie (hopeful): You already bought them for us?

Kate (smiling softly): I did. And some pantsuits if you don't want to wear dresses. You lucked out with me. How’s it been since you both came out?

Stephanie: Oh my God, it’s been great! Dating’s a mixed bag. Some jerks thought I was faking or being selfish for dating men and women. I just tell them I date people I like. My mom’s been super supportive, but my deadbeat dad? He hates that I’m not straight anymore.

Stephanie spoke with a delighted tone when bringing up her father, happy she could rub salt in the wounds. He was an asshole after all.

Kate: What’s he said so far?

Stephanie: That I’ll burn in hell, I’m no daughter of his, and he’ll disown me if I keep this “phase.”

Tim (disgusted): What an asshole.

Stephanie: Exactly! I thought I’d have to kill him someday to get rid of him, but now? With this, he can’t even look at me. God has finally answered my first prayer, my second prayer is he has a final destination style death.

Cass (after looking at Steph with a loving glance): And Lady Shiva has actually been supportive. She wore a “Free Mom Hugs” shirt when we met up a week after I told her I liked girls and said she’d kill anyone who tried to hurt me for being gay. I told her not to do that, but it’s nice she’s thinking of me positively.

Kate (wiping away imaginary tears): I knew that crazy woman wasn’t all bad.

Tim: You’re silly. Hey, if we go to the festival in costumes, do you think Bruce will let me wear his rainbow Batman suit?

Stephanie: Oh God, don’t wear that gaudy suit. Just the cape.

Kate: Yeah, that cape’s the only cool part of that suit. We all wear capes to the parade!

Stephanie: Yes, queen! I call dibs on the bisexual one!

Tim: That’s not fair; I came out first!

Stephanie (smirking): Yeah, but mine was done better. I came out to my homophobic dad while he was in prison.

Kate: You both can have the bisexual capes. I’m wearing Bruce’s rainbow bat suit cape since I make it work best. Cass, you can wear my lesbian flag cape.

Cass: Yes!

Happy Pride Month!!!

Might write one for Dick and Damian soon.

[thedawningofthehour]

I've seen video summaries, but they never really caught my attention.

As for the wizard of Oz, I don't think I ever saw the full original movie, but between the parodies, games, specials, and sequels/spin offs, I think I really got caught up in the story. Also, I really like musicals, so I already knew about Wicked when they announced the movie I immediately wanted to know more, especially if there was a possibility between iphalba and Glinda, and then for some reason, I ended up knowing that Dorothy has a girlfriend? Who is trans... And the rightful princess of Oz!? Forget the Sapphic witches, where's that adaptation!?

You probably know more about Oz lore than most people who have seen the movie, lol. The Wizard of Oz was one of the first major productions to really utilize fantastical elements as part of the story, most other fantasy films before this had bombed. As a result they toned it down a lot, and added in the scene at the end where Dorothy wakes up, leaving it up to the audience's interpretation if she really did travel to a magical world or if it was all just a dream. (people who have only seen the movie-yeah, Dorothy actually brings her whole family to Oz is the book series) I guess it's not out of the question that Princess Ozma exists in the Wicked universe, but she's never mentioned in the stage version. I don't remember her being trans though.

Oh no, she was transgendered twice. Damn queen, slay.

But yeah, Dorothy has always been a giant queer icon. The movie and Judy Garland herself were extremely popular in queer communities back then, and Judy's own father was gay or bisexual. When a reporter commented on the number of LGBT+ people in her fanbase, expecting her to condemn them as was expected in the 40-60s, she adamantly insisted that "I love all my fans." Which was huge in that time period.

I don't think Dorothy was gay though, she's only supposed to be like twelve in the books. So even if she was there wouldn't really be much-

Oh. Never mind.

Man, I knew that Princess Ozma existed but I really was sleeping on Dorothy being the royal consort to a trans lesbian magical girl queen regnant.

AND SHE WAS A COMMUNIST?!!

Wandee Goodday EP 5 Unhinged Tangent Thoughts

Finally it's brainrot saturgay. we're back with a dumb homo, himbo bisexual, the cutest domestic hubbies in existence, tired acesexual eyebrows, and dr. 666 himself (i still can fix him!)

Well well well if it isn't the look of a dumb whore who is in too deep with this fake relationship. Dee i know you already imagine a nice big house with 2.5 kids, 2 dogs and 1 cat future with this man... oh wait that's me nvm then.

i bet Yak also remembers how many HJs, BJs, and all the other Js he received.

Oh hi baby i've missed you so much. now save these morons from themselves with the power of poorly made sextumes.

You took too long, now your candy's gone, that's what happened!

He's so happy how well his sextumes are received. Ahhhhhhh! he so cute! i can't, i RAK him so much, this eyebrows is my everything.

ตาคิ้วหนาาาา!!

I will be joining @lurkingshan in the recovery ward of saint framboise, hospital for the gays and the gals. and i'm expect many more will be joining us soon. for this scene is a mass casualty incident.

Why are you both still has thoes things on your heads. my first instinct in this kind of situation is probably to get rid of the very noticible kinky headband on my head. forking amatures.

Kawaii Dick!! i name him dick-kun.

Karma sure is a funny bitch. her comedic timing is impeccable.

God bless this mess.

Ok this show finally made me cave in and bought that tacky elapant pants that i used to associated with foreign tourists. turn out they are very comfy. man, i shouldn't let white people dictated my fashion sense. live and learn i guess.

Speaking of fashion sense. this look is definitely not working for you Yak.

Can you blame him! i too would be this cray if i have someone as hot as Yei as my bf.

My money is on a loan shark. i will forgive you for this one lie, Oye.

I have to remind myself sometime that i was not like other kids. cause i definitely would be bored out of my mind with this kind of stuff as a kid.

Two dick jokes in a row. NICE!

I can still fix him! no really i can i just need the right tools.

I love that even though i saw these two fucked each other nasty before. the anticipation of them kissing is still very much present.

This is a nice intermediate ep, not a lot happened but we get to spent more time with Yak and Dee growing their 100% not fake Boyfriendship. they had both met each others close families, very involved in each other lives. and emotionally supported each other. they're good together and they started to realized that. the many looks of Dee "oh shit" is already gave me all the angsts. and from the preview shit totally gonna hits the fan next ep and i can't wait for someone (hopefully Ai Phi Ter) to get punch.

SO's Guide to the Bridgerton Children so @coffeegleek can tell them apart ;)

Violet Bridgerton

Okay, so first of all this is the mom of all these children. Her husband was Edmund. He got stung by a bee and died, so he is no longer around.

Anthony Bridgerton

Okay, so the oldest son is Anthony. He is the current Viscount (don't ask me about British nobility, I know nothing) and is currently running the Bridgerton estate, though that is not his favorite thing to do. He had very unfortunate sideburns in season one. And he likes to shout things like "you are the bane of my existence" and "LILACS". He does have oldest child syndrome where he acts like he doesn't want to be in charge, but he totally loves being in charge and telling everyone what to do.

His wife is Kate Sharma. She is a delight, and possibly the second best character on this show (obviously after Penelope). So just remember, passionate and loud guy with Kate -- that is Anthony. Oh, and they have one child who is being born in India because Jonathan Bailey is apparently very in demand right now.

Benedict Bridgerton

Benedict is the artsy, bisexual who hangs out on the swings with Eloise. He is an actual delight, but the writers don't seem to really know what to do with him. He makes a good comedic foil to Anthony. Also they cut his hair for seasons 2 and 3 which doesn't help the whole looking the same thing. We're speculating his season is next because of a bunch of hints. In the books he falls in love with a lower class girl.

Colin Bridgerton

Colin is the sweet, sensitive (most likely demisexual) writer and world traveler. He's got some insecurity issues, a massive hero complex, and is a complete simp for his wife.

HOW HAVE YOU FOLLOWED ME FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS AND NOT KNOW WHO COLIN IS - C'MON GIRL, PAY ATTENTION

He is married to Penelope Featherington, aka Lady Whistledown, aka the best damn character on this whole show. 90% of the time, Colin is hanging off Penelope, so he honestly should be easy to spot. Also, he got her pregnant BEFORE the wedding and little Lord Feathertington was born 8 months into their marriage.

Daphne Bridgerton

She was the main character of Season 1, who looks a lot like Keira Knightly. You don't really need to worry about her, because it's doubtful that she's coming back.

She is married to the Duke - Simon Basset, Lord of Hastings or something. He enjoys licking spoons. Daphne burns for him. Again, he's not coming back so, you know, I wouldn't worry about it.

They do have a child together, a little boy I believe and I think they hinted at a second one? Idk, maybe the kids will come back to hang out with Gregory and Hyacinth at the end of the series.

Eloise Bridgerton

Probably my personal favorite Bridgerton? (Idk, Colin wormed his way up there.) She stands out because Claudia Jessie is just amazing at giving her a lot quirky mannerisms. She doesn't want to get married and is really into women's rights. She is also fucking hilarious. I would love her to be asexual, but the writers insist she's getting a love story at some point, so.... The internet would prefer her to be a lesbian. That's cool, too, but also unlikely to happen.

Eloise spends a lot of her time on swings with Benedict and in is often the third wheel with Pen and Colin (though sometimes Colin is that third wheel).

She and Penelope are BFFs. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!

Francesca Bridgerton

Francesca is SUPER into the piano(forte) and really nothing else. There's really not a whole lot to say about her other than she IS probably going to be the lesbian of the show.

She is currently married to John Stirling. The two are very quiet together and that's exactly how they want it. Don't get too attached to him, he's most likely going to die in the next season. John also has a female cousin named Michaela, whom the internet is mad about because she is a woman -- making Francesca's future love interest a woman instead of a man. I say more power to the lesbians. Calm your tits folks, it'll be fine.

Gregory Bridgerton

OMG, look how adorable this kid is. He's gonna look just like his older brothers when he grows up. They've already given him a tad more to do in Season 3, and he's been an utter delight. I'm sure he'll be great leading Season 8 when we get to it in 2034.

Hyacinth Bridgerton

The youngest Bridgerton! She is excitable and energetic and super excited about all the marriages and also KNOWS who is ending up with who and is totally down for it. She is also a sassy delight and really can't wait until she starts holding her own with Eloise!

THERE YOU GO THAT'S THE WHOLE BRIDGERTON FAMILY - DOES THAT HELP??

Chapter 1 / Chapter 2

plot: aquamarine, moonlit swimming pool...what if........all I need is you?

Pairings: modernrockstar!Eddie x bisexualfem!popstar!Reader (curvy!reader, bisexual!reader)

Warnings: slut shaming, body image insecurities, Eddie being too precious for this world, soft, comfort, reader is pretty girly and femme, so yeah

wc: 1.6k

“You know I want to be with you.”

“Oh yeah?” he said back, voice light and playful. His smirk was flooding his face, all well-intentioned and sugary sweet. 

“Mhm.”

The pool water lapped around you while he laid on his stomach, black towel underneath his shirtless figure. His fingers fiddled with yours to keep pulling you close to the edge. As you looked up at him, illuminated by the hot pink neon glow from your inner tube, you couldn’t help but swoon like a teenage girl. His hair appeared nearly fuschia, darkened by the shadows of the night and the reflection of the porch light behind him.

With a smug yet playful smile, he let out a hum before asking, “And why’s that, sweetheart?”

“Maybe I have a crush on you,” you said softly.

That smile turned into a smirk, his thumb running over your knuckles. You nearly blended in with the water, your turquoise bikini matching the color exactly. 

Usually, you wore a one piece to keep the world from commenting on whether your body looked good enough. It was hard enough to love your skin as it was—natural, textured. Stretch marks and cellulite. Scars from childhood mistakes. The exact opposite of whatever airbrushed magazine cover you or any of your peers were on, dolled up like plastic Barbies and whatnot. 

But he had gotten you this bikini. Stood you in front of a mirror and traced the outline of your waist and your tummy, chuckling whenever you quivered from his touch. Whispered how gorgeous you were in your ear. Reminded you that no one else was around. You were safe. 

(Even if his closest bodyguard, James, was standing outside his front door.)

“Yeah?” he asked.

“Mhm,” you mumbled, nodding.

“Had no idea,” he nearly whispered. 

It felt right to be quiet. The hot California air had finally cooled for the night, the neighborhood surrounding Eddie’s house seemingly devoid of human existence. The Los Angeles skyline skimmed the horizon only when you chose to peek above his fence. The illusion of seclusion when you pretend this was a guarded castle.

“I know. I hid it so well.”

“Exceptionally. You’re a master of deception.”

“Mm, thank you.” The two of you chuckled softly before you tried to gently clear your throat. “So are you going to keep teasing me or are you going to tell me how you feel?”

His eyes searched yours, as if he was trying to find something but couldn’t quite remember what it was. “You already know what I want,” he said.

“Yeah, I do,” you lied, praying your insecurity wouldn’t bleed through. “Which is why I want to hear it out loud.”

Scooting closer to the edge of the pool, he began to kiss your hands. 

“I.” Kiss. “Want.” Kiss. “To.” Kiss. “Be.” Kiss. “With.” Kiss. “You.”

You couldn’t help but smile. It felt like bliss, knowing that you weren’t the only one feeling this way. All the others were a jumbled mess of Maybe Later and Just Not Looking For A Serious Relationship Right Now. The girls wanted to play the field. The boys wanted something almost too casual. Those outside the gender binary would kiss and flirt at the bar and then ghost you on the dance floor. 

But he…oh, he was something else entirely.

“Do we go out on a real date now?” you asked. “Or do we just skip to the sickly sweet, hot and raunchy sex?”

“‘Hot and raunchy’?” he questioned, laughing at your word choice.

You narrowed your eyes playfully. “Sorry, was I not sexy enough for you the first six times?”

“Never said that, darling.” The nickname had you nearly kicking your feet with schoolgirl affection. “And to answer your question, I think I should take you on at least one proper date before I blow your back out again.”

You couldn’t help but snort. “After three and a half months?”

“As if we were honest about being official until a few weeks ago.” You couldn’t disagree with him on that. “Besides, it’s better late than never.”

“What a gentleman.”

And he was. 

Eddie Munson was nothing short of the nicest guy you’d ever liked. Maybe the nicest guy you’d ever met. He opened every door, from cars to hotels to bedrooms to the cages you'd thrown your heart into. When you left with him after your concert in Seattle, he sheltered you from the rain with his beloved leather jacket. He made you cum twice before he even dared to touch himself, worshiping your body like it was sculpted by the gods. Not to mention the homemade meals and the constant protection from the paparazzi whenever possible. He knew what the media had been doing to you. He hated it. Despised it.

And amidst it all, he still wanted you.

Even the mere thought of it still made you weep sometimes.

But Eddie’s smile began to falter. “What do you reckon the verdict will be when they see us?”

You knew what that forlorn smile meant. You knew what this was doing to him, but it felt like nothing compared to what the outside world thought. It had been done to Whitney. Amy. Rihanna. Britney. Miley. Lindsay. Megan. Lizzo. Taylor. Hell, even Olivia, Sabrina, and Billie were being given hell now that they were emerging into adulthood.

And now it was down to you. Another female popstar thrown to the goddamn wolves. 

Before you could think about how pessimistic it sounded, you said, “I’ll be labeled a slut and you’ll be considered a king. The cycle will only continue.”

The media were vipers. Predators. They wanted to hunt you down with cameras and watch you and Eddie Munson do something obscene. Vulgar. Just as his reputation had forewarned. The lead of a metal band (god forbid), along with the residual damage of “devil worshipping music” despite it not being the fucking Eighties anymore. However, in their storybook you were just the right kind of girl for him to corrupt.

He did anything but that.

“I don’t want it to be like that,” Eddie whispered, his eyes shining with the threat of tears. “You know that, right?”

“Yeah, I do.” You shook your head, trying to clear all of the voices and camera flashes out of your head. “I don’t know. I just don’t want this to blow up in our faces.”

At first, the label was furious.

You were a cutesy role model for a demographic that you were not originally catering to. But the magnetic pull of a synthesizer flowed through you with the frizz of the vocoder and the glitter and the bright colors and advocacy and passion and the people— 

You were helping people. Especially the teenage girls. You were giving hope and guidance to them. Reminding them that they could achieve dreams far beyond their wildest dreams. Even if they were queer. Even if they weren’t thin. 

You were becoming an inspiration.

But after a while, you were seen as merely a PG-13 performer with all of the downfalls of being a woman, a popstar in her early twenties. Your life stopped being about you and started being about the narrative storyline of some fucking fairytale that you had no ability to write yourself, even if it was written in every song you released. 

It was sick enough knowing that people who didn’t know you would write books about you some day. 

But then you were seen at one of Corroded Coffin’s shows. Your music spiked on the charts despite the bizarre outrage at how different you were. The demographic your label originally wanted began to seep back in all in a matter of a few weeks. Back before you asked him about his feelings. Back before your confessions were frozen in the steam between you.

After that, the label wanted you and Eddie to play it up for the cameras. Stir up attention. Enjoy the ride, write the music, and then profit from the gossip columns and clout. Get more followers, more likes. Be endorsed by another fragrance subscription service or wireless headphones. 

Make them money. Risk your heart in the meantime.

It was a gamble, but why wouldn’t someone bet on a losing dog?

“Favorite Beatles song right now?” he asked, drawing your attention away from the world outside.

You grinned. “‘A Taste of Honey’.”

“Ah, from Please Please Me." You nodded. "Sometimes I forget how good their first album was.”

“You know, it’s incredible to me that you know their entire discography and yet I’ve never once heard you listening to them,” you observed.

Eddie winked at you, opening his mouth to say something but was interrupted by the meow of a cat. Both of you turned your heads to see his black cat, Oz, pawing at the back door.

“Someone wants a treat, the spoiled bastard. At least Puppet has manners," Eddie said with a sigh before looking back at you. "Why don’t you come back in with me, hm?” he asked, lightly stroking your cheek. "Throw a movie on and cuddle or something?”

“Can we?” you pleaded. “Please?”

“Anything for you, sweetheart. Anything.”

He helped you out of the pool, grabbing a towel and drying you off. He finished up with a gentle kiss to your forehead, the inner tube left forgotten and floating in the water.

“Hey, Eddie?”

His eyebrows knit together. “Yeah? What’s up?” 

You could only wonder what it would be like if this didn’t end up in some fit of flames along the length of your graves. Caskets lying side-by-side, big fat crosses sitting on top like a pointed threat. His headstone littered with roses while yours drowned in spray paint. Eulogies and hymns crescendoing into a wave of madness as they repeated your fears back to you: Nothing lasts forever.

Or maybe you’d end up in a small house somewhere, making music together while you drowned out the rest of the world. One day where the chatter would flutter into a whisper and you could walk down the street of some coastal town and not get ogled at. The stars would align and you could say to yourself, It was worth it.

But it was only August, nearly swallowing you whole with the heat threatening to scorch your skin. Maybe yours more than his, but nevertheless there were going to be scars—  

You knew to love him was to lose your mind.

And maybe that wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

“For once, I think…” A smile met your lips. “Well, maybe it’s worth it."

- Riyu don’t do that shit

I GIVE UP!! CANT THINK OF ANY MORE SIDE CHARACTERS SO MOVING ON!

Villains-

- Pythor is pansexual

- Mr. E/F finds sexuality to be irrelevant so he’s unlabeled. He does like men and women though. He is not a sexual person unless his partner would prefer it to be that way. So like on the asexual spectrum. Finds sex to be extremely irrelevant and probably does not have the parts for it (though like any Nindroid, he can make alterations). This is not about Echo. I am not a Mr E = Echo person

- Flintlocke is a faggot for Nadakhan brobrogoogoo

- Nadakhan is straight

- Doubloon is um I’m not entirely sure

- Garmadon is bi

- Samukai is likely pansexual

- Hazza D’ur is straight….. At least he was before his death.

- Ras is probably gay. He might like girls a little, but it’s unlikely. Perhaps bisexual. Perhaps.

- Drix is pansexual with a strong preference for men. The only girls he really likes are mantis women for some reason; he likes the type of woman that will just MURDER him

- Nokt is bisexual. Ras and Nya really turned him on for some reason.

- Zarkt is flat freakin pansexual…… he likes dominant people (Aka Nokt and Pixal help me NOW)

- Thunderfag

- Mindroid is likely straight and ace

- Char is bi and has a crush on Aspheera!

- Captain Soto is pansexual

- Acronix is gay

- Krux is a closeted bisexual man

- The Mechanic looks homophobic and makes homophobic jokes but y’all DO know that he wore a pink dress and a hat with matching pink feathers in canon right? He’s pansexual and very open about it. He’d probably announce that he’s a fag at a pride parade.

- Iron Baron is a homosexual because he hates women

- Vangelis is bisexual and has been out for like a decade. He’s just never mentioned it, so people assume that he’s “secretly gay” and it became popular gossip in the palace at one point in time

"Whisky for this fading flower"

I studied a lot, maybe too much, this weekend. I deserve an extra dosis of Maurice Mails! Chapters 31 and 32.

As the spring wore away, he decided to consult a doctor. The decision—most alien to his temperament—was forced on him by a hideous experience in the train. 

What did happen, Maurice? Did you have an involuntary erection in a public place? [reads more] DID YOU PUNCH A MAN!?!?!?! WHY?!?!?!? And this mf bastard offered money to the man he punched, fucking posh boy...

He could undergo any course of treatment on the chance of being cured, and even if he wasn’t he would be occupied and have fewer minutes for brooding.

So this is the beginning of the conversion therapy arc. ANd with Dr. Barry, related to Dickie Barry.. Oh, hell, no!

“Lord, man, I’ve retired from practice for the last six years. You go to Jericho or Jowitt. Sit down, Maurice. Glad to see you, shouldn’t have guessed you were dying. Polly! Whisky for this fading flower.”

Whisky and an imaginary cigarette, please. And my therapist number just in case.

“So you’ve never guessed,” he said, with a touch of scorn in his terror. “I’m an unspeakable of the Oscar Wilde sort.” His eyes closed, and driving clenched fists against them he sat motionless, having appealed to Caesar.

This was almost a torture to Maurice and the only thing he got was rejection.

“I’ve been like this ever since I can remember without knowing why. What is it? Am I diseased? If I am, I want to be cured, I can’t put up with the loneliness any more, the last six months specially. Anything you tell me, I’ll do. That’s all. You must help me.”

At least Dr. Barry, even retired, it's trying to help (but we know that conversion therapy is actually against human rights. Don't forget the context!)

Dr Barry had given the best advice he could. He had read no scientific works on Maurice’s subject. None had existed when he walked the hospitals, and any published since were in German, and therefore suspect. 

If I recall correctly, during this time the first queer organisation already existed in Germany: The Scientific-Humanitarian Committee (Wissenschaftlich-humanitäres Komitee, WhK).

He was the more inclined for a reason that he could not tell to the doctor. Clive had turned towards women soon after he reached the age of twenty-four. He himself would be twenty-four in August. Was it possible that he would turn also … and now that he came to think, few men married before twenty-four.

Bisexuality and pasexuality are real, but let's leave Maurice to learn more about later (if it happens). Because life is hard, his family is looking for a wife for him, there's Tchaikovsky and Risley here...

“Symphonie Pathique,” said Risley gaily. “Symphony Pathetic,” corrected the Philistine. “Symphonie Incestueuse et Pathique.” And he informed his young friend that Tchaikovsky had fallen in love with his own nephew, and dedicated his masterpiece to him. “I come to see all respectable London flock. Isn’t it supreme!” “Queer things you know,” said Maurice stuffily. 

[swears in Chilean] And now there's another doctor who does hypnotism. Give Maurice a rest, please!

He was an average man, and could have won an average fight, but Nature had pitted him against the extraordinary, which only saints can subdue unaided, and he began to lose ground

God gives His worst battles to His best soldiers, and Maurice still has a bit more to fight.

So much queer history references here. Love it~

[kill-vonkarma-again]

Aight, right back at you, do Mr. Klavier Gavin

(op)

AHHHHH fitia you're gonna make me embarrass myself LOLLL. i feel like its important to know that one time when i was smash drunk i saw a picture of him and started making grabby hands like a toddler with their favorite toy

first impression: ummm! i think it's because i genuinely went into aa4 blind (was playing on desmume at the time and just popped one in after the other) but i really can't remember what my first impressions of him were! i don't remember seeing him or even knowing he existed before starting the game. i think i have a vague memory of seeing fanart of him before starting (i think it was klpllo art of them chilling + klavier wearing his glasses. awkward feelings ensue. etc) but that was so long ago idr what i was thinking then :0 you can imagine i was absolutely bowled over by his opening lines though LOL

impression now: i think it's a testament to the quality of writing that klavier is such a rich character to me with only one (1) full game worth of him even existing at all. it definitely helps that to me, he feels like the concept of "phoenix reimagined as a prosecutor" written to its full extent. he's compassionate and kind to a fault (to the point where he regularly gets mistaken for naïve and taken advantage of.) he gets supremely bitchy when things don't go his way. he's intelligent and passionate enough about the law that he doesn't resort to cheating, just proves himself by earnestly backing the defense into a corner with their own words. he does his hair up pretty and keeps his motorcycle keys on a heart shaped keyring. he's even bisexual. what more could i want in a character

favorite moment: i genuinely think it has to go to this.......

the thing that drives me the most insane in stories is familial conflict and loss (bad news for me, enjoyer of Familial Conflict and Loss: the visual novel series.) klavier genuinely starting to break under the pressure of his brother trying to manipulate him really hit somewhere deep in me. it definitely has something to do with my relationship with my own older sister - we're ridiculously similar people and our age difference is basically the same as the gavins'. it would literally never happen (because she's a very kind and normal person and not an egotistical anime villain) but the thought of her tearing me down like that HURTS. i can relate to looking up to your older sibling like klavier does. oh my god.

and apollo stepping in when he realizes what's happening just. brings to mind the

ahaha..........

anyway second pick is guitar on fire because it's objectively funny. sorry klavier

idea for a story: tbh i don't have much!!! i think everyone else who's had an aai:kg idea has done it better than me :P what i usually think about in the downtime though is more stories from his gavinners era. i need the tour drama so fucking bad. when did the fleetwood mac era happen i know it happened i know there was infighting

unpopular opinion: the only thing that's coming to mind is how much i hate the semi-regular fandom perception that he's a huge slut :( or that his visible queerness is like. a joke in and of itself? idk i got upset when ot3 wrote that they think he's "funnier as a guy." i also don't like the perception that he's a white guy with a tan because i think it's uncreative and annoying when he's one of maybe 4 characters in ace attorney with dark skin. I See Why They Think So but come on man

favorite relationship: honestly this is hard to pick because he's got something really interesting going on with basically everyone he interacts with. like, do i go with the wlw/mlm hostility he has with ema? the shared experience of being a child performer with trucy? the klapollo antics and drama? the dramatic siblingisms?? the fact that his ex reeks of axe??? one sided yet very reasonable anxiety with phoenix??!?!?!? he has it ALL. if i have to pick though it has to be the obvious one because i'm a sucker for the classics

live judge reaction

favorite headcanon: definitely that he's a bottle blonde. there's so much you can do with it. the drama of having to constantly maintain his connection with his brother. the optics of marketing irt his rocker career. it's got so much flavor

tldr the way i think abt him is on par with the average gavinners fangirl i am part of the problem

[umbreoncomplex]

can i be honest? im really happy about buck being bisexual. yada yada oh but he didnt kiss eddie. whatever. okay? ive been with this show since that fateful night in january 2018. id seen the previews and ads for the show for a while and so i awaited the night eagerly and watched the premiere episode with my mom. this was 6 years ago, and i was young, and still new to being queer, and to me that was something you kept secret in online chatrooms and fanfiction read in the dead of night. i was young, and maybe trans maybe lesbian. and you weren't supposed to be those things in the "real world". and this is a truth i keep in my mind for a while. and then, i dont remember when, but we are introduced to karen. hens wife. these two become the first queer people ive seen on screen outside of online circles. away from fanfiction and cartoons. and they feel so real. so tangible. and i feel seen. because maybe ive met queer people before. but we were always tucked away into the digital world. this was cable tv. this is what everyone could see. and this meant there were dozens and dozens of people behind the scenes letting this be real. and in that moment i felt everything could be okay. and i found lonestar, i found paul, and by now i was familiar with queer people in media and in real life but paul was a trans man on tv and this was so new to me and once again i felt comforted. felt seen. i smiled when owen helped paul with skincare in that one bathroom scene and it was normal and okay. but heres the thing. these were queer people established from the beginning. and they have always been queer. and i love them for that. i love hen and i love paul and i love carlos and i love tk and i love nancy. but we have never gotten to see discovery yet. and ive been with this franchise 6 years. ive had all these queer headcanons in my head, some big ones i knew could never be true, but that's okay, because i could still imagine them and discuss them with friends and make them real to myself. and while buck being bi was plausible, maybe far more likely to happen than any other headcanon i had, i was familiar with this show. queer identities had been established from the beginning. you knew from the get go if a character would be queer or not. and so i expected this status quo to stay. and yet it didnt. because on the 100th episode of this show thats carried me through these psst few years, buck kissed a man. or more accurately, was kissed by a man. and he wasnt disgusted. wasnt appalled. didnt pull away. he reciprocated. and this wasnt like with tk. this isnt oh haha some guy thinks buck has a crush on him and buck is bewildered because oh! he's obviously straight. this is a kiss. and he kissed back. and when he lets go hes shocked. surprised. but not bothered. this is bucks "oh" moment, even described as such by oliver stark. this is a beginning. this isnt a scene they're going to throw away, but a story theyre starting. and it's going to be something entirely brand new for 911. because now we can see someone grow into their identity. accept it. learn to be themselves proudly. ive loved buck since day 1 of this series, and i cant help but feel proud. and i know he's just a fictional character yada yada who cares. but i care. because ive watched his story for 6 years. his struggle to love himself. to accept he can be desired and cared for. and hes been getting better. but now hes been introduced to something new. and now he must love himself in a new light, learn to love himself through change, and not just as a static personality. and im happy. and i wont stop being happy. and oliver stark said "you were right". and i was. and i cant believe i am. that this story can exist outside of my head. outside of online chatrooms. outside of fanfic. and it feels poetic, to watch buck come into himself in real time like this

Underrated Audio-Dramas

Asking for it

A queer contemporary take of the Goldilocks tale: about love, music and breaking the cycle of abuse. Goldie escapes a chaotic childhood only to go from a partner who starves her of love to a partner who nearly drowns her in it, before learning to be just right on her own.

My two-cents: This audio-drama I believe is a most listen for any queer person, but especially for us sapphics that want and/or have been in a relationship. I think not much is said about how women are able to harm you, I remember that AN in "Nothing Burns as Bright as You" as how as a bisexual woman the author was taught to be wary of men, but never of woman and in her experience woman often hurt her the most. I remember being in a school conference talking about domestic abuse but never did it once touch on same-gender couples.

All of this is to say that as a society we often neglect to take a real look at how abuse in queer relationships look like, how they look especially in sapphic and lesbian relationships. So I am entirely greatfull "Asking For It Does".

I am lucky enough to have never been in any situation that Goldie finds herself in and still I feel that I know her story not in short thanks to the amazing writer.

Also the MUSIC, the music in this podcast is amazing, and it is from a real band, that also exists within the podcast. How awesome is that!

Fanwars: The Empire Claps Back

Two passionate Star Wars fans on opposite sides of the Last Jedi debate argue via Skype after their favorite forum closes down. If you love Star Wars (or call yourself a proud member of any fandom), you’ll love this romantic comedy told via conversations.

My two cents: The trials and tribulations of being a POC in fandom, more importantly in starwars fandom and realizing that, "oh damm right, poc can spill the same dung as yt fans". And amazing if straight rom-com. I'll recommend it to anyone who wants to spend an afternoon laughing. It also futures the ever growing in popularity pair of a black woman with an asian man, whom is just slightly of an asshole.

My two-cents: I've binge-listened to the 1st season of this podcast. It has surprisingly great worldbuilding even though the story develops in a relatively small town. Terra is a great protagonist to follow around but the characters that really stand out for me are the kids of the Chief and their own aspirations/conflicts about the place their family has on society. It is a politician/rich/monarch apologist, though.

Deep Blue Stars

Dr. Indigo Hale treads upon a mysterious island, inhabited by nothing more than crabs and cranes, where they must find a way to make it past impostor syndrome, the strange and wonderful loneliness, and the secret nature of their life's work: the Star Shell.

My two-cents: This podcast came at the precise moment of my life so I always hold it dear to my heart. I was discovering my gender in my own terms, and as always struggling with my never ending loneliness, so Dr. Indigo Hale's rambles were a soothing salve. I'll never forget that excerpt about how they felt no-human growing up, 'cause yeah, maybe is the queernes, or the neuro-divergency but it hit spot on. If you like stories of people getting stranded on a desert-island and then creating a relationship with a non-human thing/animal to survive, you'll really love this.

The one where Lily falls in love with her best friends (ft. Religious Guilt)

Uh oh- this one might hurt. LMAOO. It hurt me to write at least

tags: religious guilt, angst, fluff, homophobia

pairings: Lily Evans x Marlene McKinnon x Mary MacDonald

Lily Evans always knew in the back of her mind that gay people existed, even in the progressive year of 1975 where three years prior David Bowie came out as bisexual (Remus wouldn't shut up about it when he first found out that summer. She remembers the phone call vividly.)

On the same weekend the fathers sermon in her church was decidedly about the difference between love and lust. The disgusting way they go against God's plan. She felt conflicted. She didn't think it was disgusting, love...was love. Right? Isn't that what her God is about? Loving others. She had never felt so distanced from her faith in her life in that moment.

Lily Evans now in her fifth year had spent a lot of time thinking about sexuality. She remembers going for a walk that summer in her never ending boredom. (and not at all that Petunia had her prick of a boyfriend over) she went a little too far into the city and found herself watching two girls going off into an alley way bathed in the shadows. She watched a little shocked as they kissed- seemingly believing no one could see them. Her face turned a bright pink and she took off down the sidewalk and pretended she didn't see anything.

That summer of 1972, she remembers her mother and father's distinct distaste of David Bowie. Even if they had found themselves dancing when he played on the radio before his declaration of attraction to the opposite sex. After Bowie 'came out' they insisted she throw out all her records containing the devil music. She complied by hiding them in the bottom of her trunk under her Hogwarts robes.

Lily prayed to herself that she would be saved, that she would stop being consumed by this lust for the women in her life. She prayed for the girls in the alleyway. She ignored the loud voice in the back of her head that told her that her heart wasn't in this prayer. That what she was feeling wasn't wrong.

After that afternoon walk she found herself watching Mary and Marlene a little differently. They had spent four years growing up in the same dorm alongside each other- Lily's eyes started lingering a little too long on Marlene's hands as she did up her tie. Ignoring how lovely her lips looked as she painted them with that bright red lipstick that only she could pull off. Her heart pounded and her palms got sweaty around that girl without fail.

She always had strong admiration for both Mary and Marlene. The way Marlene drew people in without fail, and how the room always felt electric with her around. And Mary's calm and steady presence amongst the chaos of their peers, and how she managed to read her like an open book no matter how closed off Lily tried to be to everyone else. It took a while to realize what she felt for the girls was love, but it was far from that of love for a friend. She spoke to Remus about it. About her sudden notice in specifically girls. She told him how they made her heart race, and hands shake. She emphasized that it was Mary and Marlene that had made her feel such a way. "Remus- what I'm feeling- is it- is it a sin?" they had sat in closed off corner of the library, the tips of their shoes tapping against each other as they spoke. They often found comfort in the other in this way. Talking about feelings and thoughts. Remus gave her an odd look, and with a tilt of his head and a wry smile. "If it is a sin then we're both sinners." he tells her softly. She laughs quietly at that, as tears start rolling down her face. She doesn't want it to be a sin- this part of herself that she's realized is much bigger than she thought. Can't be a sin. The pure joy and elation she feels spending time with Mary and Marlene- how deeply she's in love with them. It can't be a sin.

She takes in a shaky breath and shakes her head. "No- no we aren't sinners." the heels of her hands dig into her eyes as she wipes away her tears and wills them away. She reaches across the table and grabs Remus's hands.

Remus finds himself tearing up as well, having dealt with the church a long time. Seeing his lycanthropy as something demonic for the longest time, Sirius had shown him the beauty of himself. And soon the beauty of love far before Lily had come to him with her feelings and her own thoughts of being in sin. Of course- Remus didn't feel as connected to the faith as Lily but, he still had the distant belief in God.

"Lils- God created us in his own image right? of Love and Light- who and what we love is no different. It took me a long time to figure that out. I am very madly in love with- with a boy." he confesses, he doesn't dare say who. Lily looks at him with wide watery eyes. He was the same then. She lets out a slight laugh at how ridiculous this all felt. Remus is far from someone she would consider evil or a sinner. She saw the way he interacted with Sirius- so tenderly when he thought no one was watching. The way he was able to easily wind up his hair with his wand when Sirius was eating without care of his hair getting in his food.

Lily thought of her own ways with Mary and Marlene. How she brought Marlene back from her own doubt induced panic about being good enough. How they sat on the bed with each other late at night speaking of their plans for the future, their insecurities. The three of them often finding ways to support their weaknesses when it mattered, because they loved each other. One night after a quidditch match that ended in a spectacular loss ended up being the night that made Lily feel giddy when she thought about it. During that match Marlene had fucked up a play so spectacularly that ended up with her being benched and someone else playing for her. She paced the dorm room that night panicking about being replaced. Overreacting if you asked Mary. Lily had insisted that night be spent in a pile on her bed so they could comfort Marlene. So after much needed pampering between the three they fell asleep while assuring Marlene. Whispering sweet words and assuring her that she was one of the best players Gryffindor had ever seen. Lily looks back on that memory fondly without fail. She thinks that's about the moment she started feeling a little more than platonic for the two girls. That was love to her. Supporting each other's strength and weaknesses.

"Love- Love isn't a sin." she whispers softly, not something so pure and light. Love is the only kind of magic that wizards and muggles alike can use. So why is it feared and hated so deeply.

Remus gives her a wide smile at that and nods. "No- no it isn't." that also set a strong friendship for her and Remus. Often turning to the other when they felt the need to gush about their crushes. The butterflies and sweaty palms she felt around the two girls slowly built into something comforting, no longer feelings she observed within herself with disgust. She loves them freely- she could think about them loving her back the same way another day. For right now she's going to focus on loving this new found part of herself, and loving them in the way she knows how.

I know it took me a long time to get to this, but this literally struck me in the shower and it's a shower idea that somehow survived its birth into being real. I hope you enjoy my #1 Valkyries fan LMAO.

back again to know your thoughts about The Finale

Aftg fans this is not aftg related sorry but bear w me

I’ll be honest w u I stopped watching 9-1-1 seriously after s7 bc the writing was so bad imo I couldn’t stand it anymore. And then recently I was like oh it looks like it’s getting better ! And then it tanked again (AND THEY KILLED BOBBY?!?!?) and now I don’t care to catch up💀

But on that note I am caught up anyway because it’s on when I go to the gym and I like to stay in the know in case it gets good again. So I know everything that went down. Honestly the issue has been the writing for a while now—they seem to have run out of ideas and most of the emergencies and plot lines make like 0 sense ever. Buck has been stuck in a cycle of the same arc since s3. Eddie’s storylines never go anywhere and that’s when they remember he exists. Ravi gets tossed around when they remember he exists. Bobby and Athena from what I understand have had the same plot over and over for like three seasons?? Chimney and Maddie kinda also go nowhere and they tortured hen and Karen for what💀 why can that couple never be happy 💀💀

And then this whole nonsense with Bobby happened . And like, arguably Tim was right. You take out the foundation first if u want characters to spiral. But mid season????? In a two parter????? For shock value ??? And then the send off was 5 min at the end of an episode lmao 💀😭 i really liked Bobby too. Like matter of fact I think he was one of my favs.

I also think bucks bisexuality was handled terribly but .. that’s my biased opinion because I’m bisexual lol.

None of this is what u asked tho 💀 sorry to rant and ramble . But to move onto the finale—💀💀💀💀💀 “we had to kill Bobby for realism” but everyone in that building lived ??? He’s gotta be pulling my leg. They also lost me when Gerard came back, but I did appreciate Chimney’s speech. I don’t understand why hen couldn’t be captain? (Keep in mind I could not see the subtitles at the gym so I am going off twitter and my friend who watches and the parts I was able to make out). The REBAR in the ep had me in tears. I’ve seen this film before and I hated the ending.

Also the pr cycle was straight up baiting this time around I think. Based on my days as a heller…. LOL

(Also side note since I rambled about everything else I’m so sorry: would it kill the 118 to name a woman?)

[lotties-ashwagandha]

I'm sorry if this is awkward, please delete it if it is! But I love your fics and posts, we're the same age and I'm in a small town with not many queer people and can't talk to my family. How did you know you were a lesbian?

I've always used the term 'bisexual' because I'd feel bad about using the word lesbian and not actually be one or that I'll upset other lesbians if I used the word but I think I'm leaning to girls much more than bi? I can only see myself dating women, I much prefer women, I don't find any men irl attractive. I can see one and think that's an attractive guy but I don't personally find them attractive, they all gross me actually. But I find a couple of fictional characters that are men to be attractive but if they were real or if I met the actor, I don't think I would?

Am I even making sense? I'm sorry if this is gibberish and intrusive

thank you!!! this is not awkward or intrusive at all I COMPLETELY understand what you’re going through. it can be really hard to determine if you’re bi or lesbian, I identified as pan and then bi for a while before figuring it out and my sister actually identified as a lesbian for a while before figuring out that she’s bisexual. it can be hard to see which side you fall on.

I’m also from a small town with a very small queer community, so I understand that too. It can feel very isolating.

this is going to be one of my big long autistic explanations so I’m putting it under the cut. other lesbians please comment with your experiences as well if you’d like!

I don’t really remember the day that I specifically figured out that I was a lesbian, but I remember the feeling of oh shit this is right that came with it. when I had been using labels other than lesbian, for me it had been a sort of safety net so that if I ever did find a man attractive I could have that option open. I was also wary of identifying as a lesbian at first because I was scared of the way it would reveal me in a sense — we grow up being told that as women (or if you’re afab in general even if you don’t identify as a woman. I can’t speak for amab ppl on this) we WILL marry men and love men because that’s just how it is, and to realize an attraction to men doesn’t exist in you is scary.

I don’t find any men attractive, but when I was younger I used to pretend to or mix up casual friendship as wild romance. on a few different occasions before I started identifying as a lesbian I would pick men that I thought were good friends or good people and when my friends would ask me if I had a crush on anyone I would go YEP ITS HIM! even though if any of those men had ever tried flirting with me (or god forbid kissed me) I probably would have vomited all over them and screamed and ran away. I felt pressured to in some way force attraction or find some way I could still fit into liking men, and I kept wondering why I was so strange and had never ever found a man that I would want to go out on a date with. then I learned that if you experience romantic or sexual attraction, you aren’t supposed to have to pick people at random to find attractive. I figured out that everything I was supposed to have felt toward an attractive man — the nervousness and the admiration and the oh nice to meet you I would die for you — I had actually been feeling toward women.

again, I identified as pan and then as bi and then went unlabeled for a while because I wanted to keep the option open for men. but one day I realized that if I ever married a man I would be disappointed that I hadn’t married a woman and I would never truly be happy in a relationship with a man. I would never want to have sex with a man and I would never want to kiss a man or try to get to know a man in a romantic sense. honestly, and this will sound SO lame, but I watched the movie Carol and the TV show version of A League of Their Own and they changed my life LOL.

the best way I can describe being a lesbian and identifying with any label that includes men (be it bisexuality, queerness in general, or even going unlabeled) is like having two doors open in front of you and only ever going through the one on the right. the left door is open just in case you want to walk through it, but somehow you know that you never really will. and it feels good to say yes, it’s there if I need it, it’s open, but you can’t find it in yourself to take a step toward that door because you know that if you do, you will regret not going through the right door again.

I understand what you mean with being able to distinguish attractive men but not being attracted to them yourself. for example my sister will send me pictures of celebrity men she finds attractive and I’ll either go EWWWW or oh I can see the appeal. still not for me though. I saw it described on here at one point as looking at cool shoes or cars. you can see a pair of shoes and go oh those are some really nice shoes but you don’t have any interest in going out on a date with them or having sex with them. and trust me — I used to have a 50 chapter thomas shelby fic on wattpad. was I attracted to thomas shelby? I thought he was easier to look at than most men, but I would never fuck him or go out on a date with him or any other man. the real plot of my book was seeing how deeply emotionally tied my female OC could get to polly gray without it being a polly gray fic because noooo I would never be interested in women like that… 🏳️‍🌈

that’s my big lesbian story. one day it clicked for me that I was going to shut the left door (the man door) because I was never going to use it. I was happy to only go through the right door (the woman door) and I wouldn’t be upset without having the left door at all. if you’re not attracted to men, there’s a good chance you’re a lesbian.

let me just say, too, that no one should get upset with you for trying out new labels. we are all figuring shit out and sexuality is hard. if you start identifying as a lesbian and then decide it’s not for you and you’re really bi like you thought, then it doesn’t make you a bad person for identifying as lesbian for a while and it doesn’t mean you’re attacking lesbians or anything else.

and if you really are attracted to men as well as women in the end, bisexuality is so beautiful and I encourage it to be embraced as well if you decide you want to stick with identifying as bi. bisexual people have my entire heart and are such an incredible group of people.

I hope any of that resonates for you or that it’s helpful in some way. if you realize you’re a lesbian in the end or just want to try the label to see how it feels, consider this my formal welcome. we would love to have you. if not, then I’m cheering you on in any community you end up chilling with.

let me know if you have any other questions :) have an amazing day, anon.
