#bi awakening

[anotherthoughtthatwillhauntme]

☆WHO'S SAYING THIS?!?

Gareth? Because nothing fuels his chaotic little soul more than riling up his favorite obsessive law professor. Bonus points if it involves teasing, running away, or pretending to be unimpressed while internally combusting.

—OR—

Kayden? Because if anyone is allowed to ruin Gareth’s peace of mind, it’s him. He’s not just the villain—he’s the exclusive villain, handpicked and personally assigned to drive Gareth to the brink of insanity, affection, and questionable life choices.

Their chemistry? Toxic. Obsessive. Catastrophic. In other words, perfect.

their dynamic

There was a new holiday in Animal Crossing called Bi Awakening Day. They were selling Li Shang figures and bi flags in Nook’s Cranny, but that was it.

So I've been grabbing a bunch of screenshots lately to better pester Netflix on Twitter, but sometimes I get a REALLY funny one by accident.

I know it's serious business because they just got done with the Devlin house, but.

In this one Charles just looks like he's Having a Moment because two beautiful people are touching him at the same time.

Dean : *banging a pen on the table out of frustration*

Castiel : Stop that Dean. How would you feel if I banged you on the table?

Dean : I—

Dean : I don’t know the correct answer to that question.

You know what I just realised?

The Serpents wear skulls masks.

Skull. Masks.

Skull.

Another day, another fantastic time to debunk completely delulu takes I've seen around. This one actually baffles me on a whole new level, and that people are ACTUALLY thinking it is canon it's giving me a headache.

Why, yes, on that nutter house that is twitterX (and here too unfortunately) people are now claiming that Eddie was Buck's Bi awakening in 2x01 in place of Oliver's recent interview.

First of all shall we look at the definition of Bi awakening, shall we?

"When someone, who thought or assumed they're straight, develops a crush on someone of the same gender and leads to them wondering if they are bisexual."

The key thing here is the realisation. You cannot have a bi awakening without having a moment where you are like "do I like the same gender too? Am I not straight? Am I bisexual?"

Which is EXACTLY what is happening on 7x04 and 7x05 with Buck exploring his feelings for Tommy before AND after the kiss.

There's NO bi awakening on 2x01 because Buck doesn't question in behaviour!! He doesn't have any moment where he considers his animosity about Eddie as anything more than intense dislike, jealousy and fear of being replaced.

Some of you are taking things too far. You are purposefully trying to ERASE actual canon content about a beloved character's bi awakening (something huge, especially with a 30 y/o character) just because you cannot stop for a second and not insert Buddie everywhere you like, even going as far as completely invalidating Buck's journey.

I'm not denying that in retrospect Buck may have found Eddie attractive (Oliver confirmed this as a strong possibility, yes, but that doesn't equal realisation since Oliver also acknowledged that Buck does not look any farther on his feelings on Eddie than interpreting them as personal jealousy).

But canonically Buck's bi awakening is Tommy.

You may not like it, you may not ship it, but you can't behave like this. Headcanons are all well and good, but presenting them as gospel and canon content? Y'all need to take a deep breath and actually get off the internet for a while.

This behaviour is only going to hurt the fandom in the long term. And it is not the first time or the first instance where you take something Oliver said in interviews and completely misinterpret it to suit your pipeline. Try some critical thinking, y'all.

(I'm aware not everyone is thinking like this, but those types of posts are getting over one thousand likes each. At this point it is a fandom problem.)

You know… since only girls can be dated in P5, but both girls and boys can be the subject of the "Who Would You Marry?" Imagine Spot in P5T, that implies that Joker canonically had his Bisexual Awakening somewhere between the end of the Maruki's Palace and the start of P5T (which takes place in between the end of Joker's incarceration, and the actual end of P5).

This carries the hilarious implication that Joker didn't realize he found Akechi attractive until like. The very end. It'd probably be more fitting if he realized he liked Akechi during Maruki's calling card scene, but I think it'd be hilarious if Joker's oblivious butt didn't realize it until he was chilling in juvenile detention with nothing to do but think about things and then abruptly was like "OH CRAP I THOUGHT AKECHI WAS HOT" and then "WAIT I'M BI???" and then "DANGIT I TOTALLY MISSED THAT HE WAS PRACTICALLY FLIRTING WITH ME THE ENTIRE TIME"

I wonder if Liz Gillies knows she's the bi awakening of like 60% of the bi females out there? She was definitely mine(^3^)/

Dissection of ‘Kiss the Villain’ Teaser because why not?

☆

"I think we've established that you have a magnificent ability to be grotesque."

Okay, so right off the bat, Kayden is out here throwing high-level insults like he’s delivering a Shakespearean monologue. “Magnificent ability”?? Sir, that’s an SAT vocab insult. That’s the kind of insult you drop in a courtroom and then sip your coffee while the defense spirals into self-doubt.

☆

My lips lift into a snarl, but I force them into a smile.

The level of internalized violence here. Gareth is seething, but his petty little soul refuses to let Kayden see him crack.

☆

"I didn't seem grotesque when you came all over my mouth. You enjoyed it so much you kept coming on and on. I thought you would never stop."

GOOD. GOD. THE VISCERAL DISRESPECT.

Kayden threw a classy insult, and Gareth responded with a weapon of mass destruction. This man did not come to play; he came to ruin reputations. Not just destroy them—ruin them beyond recognition.

Also, let’s talk about how obnoxiously Gareth worded this. “You kept coming on and on.” That’s not just shade; that’s permanent eclipse.

☆

"Your hole is the only useful thing about you."

Kayden said forget dialogue, forget literature, forget human decency. He threw Gareth into the trash and slammed the lid shut.

Also, the casual delivery of this line?? As if he’s stating a mundane fact?? Kayden is out here grading Gareth’s entire existence like:

Snarky attitude. ✅

Daddy’s money. ✅

A hole. ✅

Literally nothing else.❌

☆

I think I see a change of expression, but it's so fleeting. I can't read it as it continues.

Translation: “I just got spiritually humbled, and I need a second to reboot.”

☆

"But enough about that."

OH, OH, SO HE JUST MOVES ON??? This man wrecks Gareth’s entire being and then acts like it’s a minor inconvenience?? Kayden really said, “Yeah, you’re useless, but anyway, back to business.” The emotional terrorism. The calm audacity.

☆

". And here I was dying to keep broaching the subject."

THE SASS. THE ABSOLUTE SASS.

Gareth, you are holding onto your last thread of dignity by a fingernail, but I respect the effort.

☆

"Watch the way you speak to me. I'm your professor and will not tolerate any disrespect."

Sir. SIR. WHERE WAS THIS ENERGY THREE SECONDS AGO WHEN YOU WERE REDUCING THIS MAN TO NOTHING BUT A HOLE??

Also, imagine Kayden saying this in his best professional tone, meanwhile, we all know this conversation left professionalism in the dirt ten miles ago.

☆

The firm edge in his voice gets my skin ablaze. It's uncomfortable, this feeling that's making me grip the notebook tighter.

OH??? SO YOU’RE TURNED ON???

Not Gareth trying to convince himself that this feeling is “uncomfortable” when his body is literally betraying him in 4K. King, we see you.

☆

"I have no respect for you whatsoever, professor."

Gareth said, “Respect? Never heard of her.”

And honestly, good for him. He may be losing this battle, but he will not go quietly.

☆

"I'll tell you this once, so listen carefully, Carson." He stands taller, forcing me to crane my head back to look up at him.

Okay, first of all, THE FUCKING HEIGHT DIFFERENCE! I WANNA SEE IT IRL!!! HOT!!!

Second of all, Gareth, baby, you are about to die.

☆

"I have zero tolerance for spoiled, rich little brats like you who believe they can rule the world through their daddy's trust funds. If you don't drop the attitude and watch your mouth, I will fuck it into submission. Are we clear?"

Kayden just: Took Gareth’s entire personality, folded it neatly, and set it on fire.

Also, imagine being Gareth in this moment. You thought you were going to sass your way out of this. But NO. NO, SIR. You got a one-way ticket to the shadow realm.

And the way Kayden drops “fuck it into submission” so casually???? Like, my guy, you are at work.

☆

Final Score:

Kayden: 1000000/10. Unshakable. Unbothered. Demon-level dominance.

Gareth: A very pretty corpse.

When her side profile fucks you up THAT bad, you need 5-7 business days to calm down and rehydrate. 😮‍💨🤤

Cover art for a short story/novella I'll be writing on Patreon next month. (It will be going into an itch bundle after that.)

Patreon Link, if you're curious.

What do you think Jon’s bi awakening was? Cause I could see him standing in a corner and being a blushing mess while watching Damian work out.
