This pride month we remember that labels are not set in stone, fighting against each other accomplishes nothing, and just because you do not understand an identity or the way someone expresses themselves does not mean it is not valid!!!
#queer#pride month#lgbtq#for the love of god bi/pan solidarity PLEASE#lesbian/bi solidarity too#everyone solidarity#aces and aros are fucking valid#and labels are just that! labels! use whichever one feels most like you! or use none at all!#nonbinary people do not owe you anything!#trans people do not owe you anything!

this is giving me a fucking aneurism right now why do you people think that "pansexuals" are the only ones special enough to be attracted to nonbinary people dkfjksvksjcandnaxnecbaxkq
#it is PRECISELY this shit right here that makes me discourage people from IDing as pan#i believe that solidarity is ultimately more important than slur/label discourse and these discussions should be had in good faith but#every time someone tells me they're pan all I hear is#that they think they're better than bi people because they're willing to fuck trans/nb people#and i know now many people are veering away from that and trying to enforce the whole#pan is attraction REGARDLESS of gender whereas bi is attraction that is related to gender#but the fact is thats completely fucking made up as well lmao bisexual people don't experience attraction as a monolith#literally every single definition of pansexuality involves putting undue restrictions on the definition of bisexuality.#its a completely reactionary label.#please for the love of god if you ID as pan i dont think you're a bad person but just like. please just think about it#think about the message you're sending to trans/nb people that you think you need a special label to signify you're attracted to them#pansexual#pansexuality#bisexual#bisexuality#biphobia#im gunna regret this one#pan discourse#and yes i edited the post and removed the word freak because the connotations arent great#but i think i had a right to be fucking upset when i posted this lmao

Sorry I know I haven't been active here that much, but I wanna make this post bc I'm pissed. I'm SO SICK of panphobic bisexuals acting like every bisexual thinks pansexuality is inherently biphobic. Like please god it is not "us vs them", other queer people will never be the enemy. You can believe that bisexuals can be attracted to anyone AND also believe that pansexuality is a real and valid label. Because, shocker, labels are very personal and each person will have their own reason for using a certain label! Maybe there doesn't always have to be a very clear distinction between different labels! But also of course that doesn't mean that the difference isn't important to some people! Some people may even wanna use both! Or maybe a completely different mspec label! When will people just let people use whatever labels they want. Again, other queer people will never be the enemy, they are not doing You any harm inherently just for using certain labels. If people come to the wrong conclusions based on this, this is NOT that person's fault! It's the fault of the person that came to the conclusion. It doesn't need to make sense to you, bc it's not your identity. Respect that other people will always know themselves better than you.
It's actually very rare nowadays when I even find a panphobic bisexual tbh! I used to see a lot more of them, but now, thank god, there's waaay more that are for bi/pan solidarity. So panphobic bisexuals Still saying this confuses me so much. I also think it's no coincidence that a lot of these people also end up being aphobic, and that, similarly, aphobia has died down nowadays as well.
Anyway I love pansexuals (and anyone else who is mspec, including mspec lesbians and gays, for the reasons above), from, ur local bisexual <3 And happy pride month!

A semi-comprehensive list of sexy moments in Love Run (2019) by The Amazing Devil
In honor of them hopefully releasing their new album today, I listened to their first album for the seven thousandth time and wrote down every moment that made my soul sing. I will not be talking (much) about lyrics here because I simply do not have the space to do so!
Love Run (Intro)
When Madeleine joins Joey on “love’s worth running to” and her voice goes up when his goes down. Ya bitch loves contrasting vocal harmonies!
The buildup of the “ahhh”
The quiet amalgam of lyrics from other tracks underlying the “ahhh” in the focus
King
The fact that King is in triple time is already Supremely Sexy
When Joey joins Madeleine on “let the seabirds cry” and the percussion drops out so it’s just vocals and guitar
How breathy Joey’s voice gets at “burning there”
The rhythmic buildup of the percussion under the second set of “let the seabirds cry”
“Every unwanted daughter” is just. Yeah.
Madeleine’s vocalizations under Joey’s “I’ll keep the king”s at the end of the song
Pruning Shears
Can I say “the whole song”? No? Fuck, okay, here we go
The percussive sound of the first verse, made all the more sexy because Joey has a tendency to close to consonants really quickly
(Also in the live version, the way Joey says “car is so kitch”)
The way Madeleine’s lines have overlapping syllables with Joey’s!! This is an Amazing Devil constant but it still FUCKS ME UP
How Madeleine’s line is actually lower than Joey’s at “had it all planned” emphasizing that this line/experience is from Joey’s POV whereas her verses are higher than Joey’s suggesting that her verses are her own POV
The vocalization under the second half of the final chorus !
The “whoa oh whoa oh” after the final chorus !!!
The percussive sound of Joey’s final “in the back” hhhh
Shower Day
Joey and Madeleine’s unison for the entirety of the first verse and chorus really underscores the way they split into harmony afterward
Just. The bi/pan solidarity of the “you” character both “lov[ing] him” and “kiss[ing] her sister” (OR, if you interpret the song like I sometimes do, the closeted struggle of “know[ing] you should love him” but wanting to “[kiss] her”)
The syncopation (hemiolas specifically) at “we’ll wear our eyeliner” !!!! Fuck me up!! (Also the solidarity of the male POV character/Joey wearing eyeliner too! We need more men in eyeliner, this is the future liberals want)
THE REVERBERATING PERCUSSION THAT JOINS IN AT “WELL I’M LOOKING BACK” AND ALSO LITERALLY EVERYTHING THAT FOLLOWS. This whole portion of the song is full of so much heartache and desperation and emotion!!
The way Madeleine and Joey sing “For Christ’s sake just say something” in a round
The way Joey says his S’s in the repeated “say something” section at the end
Elsa’s Song
Okay so the fact that this starts off a cappella is massively sexy
How every verse ends with “forget me not”
Everything about Madeleine’s harmony!! It’s the return of the contrasting vocal harmony but turned up to 11. If I listed out every sexy piece of contrasting harmony I would simply have to list out the whole song
The introduction of the rhythmic percussion in the third verse
In general, how Madeleine is really leaning into her sop range here! It’s such a lovely contrast to Joey’s baritone. It’s a treat to hear her sop range shine when she tends to stick to mezzo/alto lines.
Pray
How Madeleine closes to a hum on “mean” in “what holy men really mean”
How Joey echoes Madeleine in the second verse
(How Madeleine ad libs the repeated “I won’t, I won’t pray for” section in the live version)
Madeleine’s ad libbed vocalization directly after the “I won’t, I won’t pray for” section. Heart eyes motherfucker
The repeated “oh oh oh” under Madeleine starting at “why you cannot sleep for sighing”
The harmonic buildup of all the background vocalizations under Madeleine’s final chorus. Like every new measure adds another layer of harmony and it’s just SO SEXY
Little Miss Why So
Suddenly I can’t see through the fucking waterfall taking up residence on my face
This is such a poignant description of depression and how difficult it is to explain to people who don’t get it
The part that fucks me up the most is the accelerated repetition of “it’s so boring” that releases into the a tempo “etc”, simultaneously emphasizing the lover’s frustration and encapsulating the narrator’s apathy. The buildup and release of tension is exquisite.
Also every time Joey joins in is just....incredible. The desperation of “For Christ’s sake, just say something” kills me every time.
But I can’t really in good conscience call anything in this song sexy because it’s all so...gentle and it just hits home so hard
So. Moving on
New York Torch Song
DID U MEAN. MY LIFEBLOOD.
The “fuck you”s both at the beginning and in the bridge
The slide on “tomorrow” in the intro right before the percussion kicks in
Joey’s “bright with every hum, ah-ah”
Joey’s humming under Madeleine’s “watch the fire” in the choruses
How the section starting with “god or devil” speeds up and adds more percussive complexity
The way Joey closes to the consonants when he sings “from within this”. It’s so delightfully sibilant !
How Madeleine laughs as she says “can’t we just talk about this”
The way Joey says “tippy toe tin rooftops” hnnnng it’s already a sexy lyric because of the alliteration but he makes it so much more percussive
THE WAY JOEY FLIPS UP ON “LIGHT” IN “TRICK OF THE LIGHT”. THE WAY HE HAS TO GO INTO HIS HEAD VOICE. THIS WHOLE POST IS SIMPLY AN EXCUSE TO DIE OVER THIS WORD.
Two Minutes
The fact that it’s a live recording and not a studio recording and there are all these little noises and echoes in the background
Madeleine harmonizing with words that are just barely intelligible, right up until she finally sings “I can hear the children calling,” is so damn haunting
The moment when the piano picks up !!!
Not Yet / Love Run (Reprise)
Buckle in kids !!! This song is 8 minutes long and every second is sexy!
The contrast between the gentleness of Joey’s voice and the almost anthemic determination of Madeleine’s voice in the verses, plus the alternation between acoustic guitar and heavy percussion
Madeleine’s “seams” vs Joey’s “seems”, Madeleine’s “hell” vs Joey’s “I held”, Madeleine’s “she’d howl” vs Joey’s “she’d hold”
Just. Everything about the Not Yet chorus. It makes me so fucking tender
Especially Joey’s diphthong in “pirates”; he closes to the long i sound almost instantly and it w r e c k s me
The way Joey says “everyone knows sex is better when you’re unemployed,” especially in the bridge right before the breakdown
(The way Joey says “you can’t dance for shit” in the live version)
The way Madeleine basically growls “Where is God, ma / Where’s the vodka”
The harmonies under the bridge right before the breakdown
The fact that Madeleine sings Love Run (Reprise) when Joey sang Love Run (Intro)!!! Inversion bitchesss
Joey’s entire verse in Love Run (Reprise) hhhhh -- it’s just rife with all his little vocal tics that make me absolutely feral
The vocalizations beneath the main track that start at Joey’s verse and continue through the end of the song
The tradeoff of “love run” between Joey and Madeleine
Madeleine’s “all that matters is that you’re here, all that matters” is so haunting and beautiful and sexy
The brief moment of acoustic respite at the start of the third verse
THE SHOUTED/GROWLED “RUN”S UNDER THE SECOND AND THIRD CHORUSES AAAAA
In conclusion:
This post was brought to you by a bisexual disaster who is an Amazing Devil stan first and a functional human second
I’m almost definitely missing some moments because I only listened to the album like twice while I made this post so please feel free to add your own sexy moments
Please, Joey and Madeleine, for the love of god release The Horror and The Wild, I am starving--

For the matchups if there's still room? I'm bi/pan, non-binary (she/they) and very extroverted. I love EDM, particularly dub and trap, as well as classic and heavy rock. I love to draw and do all kinds of crafts, particularly fabric crafts. I'm really into cyber/ravepunk and vapourwave aesthetics and basically my whole existence is rainbows. I have pretty bad anxiety and backwards seasonal depression, ie: summer makes me sad, winter makes me happy. I hope that's enough! Thank you!
I match you with...
Donatello!! You two have a good amount of similarities when it comes to interests, and that’s initially what drew him to you! Your extroversion and positivity is also one of the big traits that appeals to him. You guys start off as friends, but over time it evolves into something so much deeper. He’s actually really caught off-guard when he realizes he’s falling in love. You’re his best friend, his partner in crime, how could he be falling in love with you?
I hope you like staying up late, because his best time to work is... at night! He loves staying up late with you while he works on his newest invention/research. You’re his personal DJ. <3 Wear that title with pride, because he’s super picky with his EDM.
Loves to mess with you when it comes to classic rock </3 If Dani California makes its way into your playlist somehow, he’s gonna fuck with you a little bit. The intro always makes him snort. Hit him with a pillow, do it. And God help you if something like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin, or AC/DC comes on. “Pulling out the cowhand tunes, I see? 𝓑𝓵𝓪𝓬𝓴 𝓫𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓪𝓷𝓪, 𝓼𝔀𝓮𝓮𝓽 𝓛𝓸𝓾𝓲𝓼𝓲𝓪𝓷𝓪-“ “Shut UP” (He ‘yeehaws’ in a REALLY monotone voice sometimes, and it kills you every time. he sounds so apathetic about it.... ok king)
The heavy rock (and Queen) can stay though. He is Not Immune to Freddy Mercury. He’ll drop everything for Bohemian Rhapsody.
Loves your art! Whether its sketching from life, media, or from your head, he loves it. He keeps one of your pieces in his wallet, and one in the turtle tank as well. He likes those little reminders of you :)
He has an affinity for the three dimensional, so he takes a big interest in your crafts & fabric crafts! He’s done his own fair share of sewing, although he isn’t all too good at it. (He sucks at hand-sewing, and he’s impatient when it comes to the sewing machine. He thinks there’s a more efficient way to do it, and there just... isn’t. He has a lot of respect for people who have the patience for fabric work.) It’s nice to work with him in the lab.
He’s OBSESSED with vaporwave and cyberpunk. If you reflect that in your style... expect a fucking KISS. He thinks you look really badass. He definitely makes you some rad af iridescent clothing so you can get the futuristic look and rainbow look all in one. He likes to match with you, too. Matching jackets? Matching jackets!
(He also makes Shelldon a little iridescent accessory... family style...) King of sticky-note reminders. If you take medication for your anxiety, he’s really helpful at setting up routines to take it and remember it. If it has any side effects, he’s also the first to recognize them and help manage them. If you get by without medication, that’s also cool! He’s great at recognizing symptoms of panic attacks or just general anxiety, and he won’t hesitate to get you out of a situation when you need it. He’s very straightforward when asking what you need, and the calmness in his voice is a little infectious.
I’m sorry, but he HATES the winter. He gets cold really easily, even compared to his brothers, so winter time is typically spent bundled up in his lab. And quite frankly, he might have undiagnosed seasonal affective disorder. But that’s actually kind of a good thing that you guys are reversed in that regard? Your happiness and positivity during the winter helps him out a lot. And in return, he’s 100% there for you during the summer time.
One of his favorite things to do with you is dance on the rooftops at night. There’s something magical about dancing under the all-consuming cosmos with your lover, guided by the light of the moon.
Nonbinary & Bi solidarity! He has both flags in his pen cup, and he likes to paint his cheeks & claws during pride month. He doesn’t have any pan flags since he IDs under bi himself, but he’s absolutely gonna find one for you! Pride month is so fun with him <3
You’re the first person to know when he makes a breakthrough in something! And it’s so obvious on the phone as well: his words come out so haphazardly, still riding the high of discovery.
PLEASE steal his hoodies, they’re so soft and warm. Plus, he’s legally obligated to kiss you if he catches you in one. It’s a win-win baby!!
Huge fan of casual handholding. He also loves kisses on the hand: giving or receiving! His face will be so red if you kiss his hands, do it.
[Hope this was okay!! I got so excited when I saw THE turtlemouse in my ask box <3 Like!!! <3 Sorry this took so long to post! D:]

can bisexuals please for the love of god exist without constantly being told we’re actually pan or having ppl make it all about pans instead i’m so, so tired
and when you correct people they still have the fucking NERVE to be all “wweehh but bi means two!!!” making it damn obvious they know nothing about bi history
it’s so fucking infuriating. i’m so tired. the only difference in bi and pan is up to the individual. stop fucking trying to give them concrete meanings because all you do is erase and invalidate people.
even bisexuals so often get pushed into the trap of bisexuality being binary as if we have to please cishet people. it’s sad and frustrating and i’m tired. and when we DO explain our attraction in a nonbinary way? we’re “actually pan” because bis “only like cis people.”
ugh. UGH. so much bi/pan solidarity feels completely fucking shallow, because people SAY they support us, yet when biphobia is present? y’all say nothing. more often than not, y’all help perpetuate the biphobia, by saying shit like “bis have preferences.” newsflash, plenty of us don’t. and plenty of pans have preferences.
its just, people trying so hard to push labels into concrete boxes they just! dont! fit! into! even with gay and straight labels, ppl push them into boxes and make them so binary and cisnormative! it’s beyond infuriating.
despite my frustration w pans, this post is NOT for battleaxe bis or any other exclusionists.

Esprit de Corps
Content Warnings: Coming out, epiphanies, hugs, pathetic fallacy, TOOTH-ROTTING FLUFF
A/N: Since my coming-out experience with my family could've gone slightly better, I decided I'd finish this thing that had been sitting in my drafts for a while. Writing it has helped me immensely and I hope you like it! Dhar and I are bi/pan solidarity!
For context, this is set after the endgame, a short while before Heather's graduation exam; the two are staying in Heather's student accommodation. And they have a nice porch!
@selfship-pride
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
"Can I have a word with you? It's important."
Those nine words seemed to come out of nowhere for Dhar. Up until now, Heather had gone about her note-taking on topics that (frankly) eluded him, with total focus. But now, she had placed her trusty book to one side and looked his way expectantly.
Well. Whatever it was, he conceded that it would be better to address it now than to leave it until later.
"Of course," he said, taking the free space on the porch seat. His presence summoned a warmth in Heather's mind; it was a safe feeling, like when a cat curls up in one's lap. It was almost enough for her to ignore the barrage of rain hitting the shelter above them.
But every time she tried to start a sentence, she found her voice trailing off before she could get to the point. Her grayish-blue eyes never seemed to find a place to rest. It was in the middle of this half-rambling that Dhar quietly slinked his hands into hers, squeezing them ever so slightly to get her attention.
"Heather, you're trembling and I can't understand a word you're trying to say. I'm not going to let you speak until you've calmed down a little. Breathe with me."
And so it was, with him leading his beloved through a simple breathing exercise. In through the nose, out through the mouth. As she exhaled, the tension in Heather's head slowly faded into the background. Once he was sure that Heather had reached that natural place of rest, Dhar squeezed Heather's hands once again.
"Better."
"Look," she said, "I know you probably don't want me to waffle on, so I'll just come right out with it." A deep breath. "I'm pan."
Dhar looked at her in silence for a few seconds before cocking his head to one side. "I can't say I know what that means," he said. "Please, explain it to me."
Heather was prepared for this.
"Well, since I was a teenager, I thought I could be interested in, well, more than just guys? I thought about it long and hard - several years really - and I realised that attraction to all these different genders felt more or less the same, so I guess it's not a defining factor. See, some people think that bisexuality and pansexuality are one and the same, and that's not true. I've been around bi people, and I've noticed that some are attracted to multiple genders but not all, and some experience attraction differently for different genders."
She let go of Dhar's hands, stimming by fiddling slightly with the wrist of one of her white gloves. "I hope that's cleared it up, but-"
"You know something?" His comment prompted her to let go and look back up at him. His gaze now carried with it a sense of pleasant surprise. "That last part sounds a lot like myself. I'll admit that I had crushes on one or two men senior to me, but loving them felt different somehow to loving women, and especially to loving you."
"Course it does! I'm the love of your life, aren't I?"
"You don't have to be so blunt about it…" Dhar let out an exasperated sigh as Heather giggled in satisfaction; still, being wound up was worth it to ease the tension. She needed the opportunity to say that. "I suppose that means I'm bi, right?"
"If you want to call yourself that, yes!"
Dhar nodded. Yes, that felt just right.
"Look at you finding a label you can work with! Gods, that makes me so happy… But still, I just hope the way I am doesn't, you know, weird you out or anything."
"Of course not. You're still the same amazing person that I love, and I no longer have any doubt in my mind that you feel the same way about me. We just know a little bit more about each other now. Can I..." Despite himself, his eyes grew misty as he placed a single hand on Heather's shoulder. "Can I hug you?"
"Of course, sweetheart. Come here."
With that little bit of confirmation, Heather found herself wrapped in the comfort of Dhar's strong, but still tender, arms. Instinctively, she returned the gesture, soothing him in turn as they both quietly expressed their mutual relief. How cathartic it was to have each others’ shoulders to cry on... When it was finally time for them to let go, Dhar simply looked back at Heather with a softness reserved only for her.
"Thank you for telling me," he said, voice still a tad brittle from crying. "And if anyone tries to make you feel lesser because of who you are, they'll have to answer to my sword. I'll always have your back, my dearest."
"The same to you, Dhar. No matter what, I'm in your corner." Heather, not content with leaving her partner to deal with the aftermath by himself, leaned in for a kiss on the cheek. He let out a soft laugh as she lightly kissed his tears away.
The rain finally passed, leaving cosy sunlight in its wake.

Andi Mack but absolutely no one is both cis and het
So I loved this idea but got overwhelmed trying to think about squeezing in all the headcannon ideas I have for each character and their gender and sexuality and having it flow well in a single story. So these are a list of my headcannons for each character. I pretty much already picture ever character as either not cis or not straight, or both. Every once in a while Buffy gets straight, cis rights but not often. Anyways, if there is anything particularly interesting I may expand it into a story. I know alot is pretty well established but I needed to collect my thoughts into one list.
Please ignore typos, I'm running on stress and sleep deprivation.
Andi
• Pansexual/pan-romantic, cis girl, she/her
• She and Buffy got that serious pan/bi solidarity. (More on that later)
• In love with her amazing girlfriend, Amber. But both Amber and Buffy were ready to fight anyone who tries to erase her pan identity just bc her SO is a girl.
• Literally Amber almost got into a fist fight with a girl who was insisting Andi was a lesbian even when she was corrected.
• Reminds people constantly that Pan and Bi are not always interchangeable and you should always respect the labels a person asks for.
• She, Libby, and Walker did everyone's makeup and/or face paint for their first PRIDE.
Buffy
• Demi-Bisexual/bi-romantic, cis girl, she/her
• Literally the reason she fell for Marty started with the fact that he was such a good friend. Also she thought he was really cute but will never admit it
• Is tired of trolls online belittling bi-girls validity, especially bi girls in relationships with men.
• Has a shirt that says "My sexuality is not your fetish."
• Loves Marty so much but is tired of justifying her bisexuality to both straight people and gay people.
Cyrus
• Homosexual/Homo-romantic, Cis Guy, He/him
• Definitely a theater gay. Like you can't tell me that he did not listen to "I'm not that Girl" from Wicked constantly when he thought TJ and Kira were dating.
• Literally makes gay puns constantly.
• He and Amber founded Grant's Queer Alliance. Straight, cis folks could be in it but didnt want them in the name like GSAs because straight people don't needed to be centered to be an ally
• Accidentally chaotic
• Ships Ryan and Chad
• Is a Tumblr gay
Jonah
• Heterosexual/Aromantic, Cis-Guy, he/him
• He loves making out but is not a fan of the whole heavy romance emotions
• People tell him constantly that he will feel those feelings someday when he meets the "right person".
• He disagrees.
• "Why can't it just be fun?" He has literally no interest at all in being in a romantic relationship.
• Like at all.
• He is happy with and values his platonic relationships and does not want more than that.
TJ
• Homosexual/Homo-romantic, Trans-Guy, He/him
• He was so stressed out when he realized that not only was he trans, but he is also gay.
• Built up emotional wall and mean persona to let everyone know that he was definitely a super masculine guy.
• He told Amber he was a boy when he was 5 years old, so she at 7 years old, snuck the scissors from their parents' room and chopped off his hair.
• His whole family has been so supportive.
• Cyrus was the 2nd non-Kippen to know he was trans, after Reed.
• Reed was his first crush because in kindergarten Reed kissed TJ on the cheek. That was his "first kiss." The crush eventually went away when he realized he just really wanted Reed as his best friend.
• TJ's mom helped him pick out safe binding options once puberty started. His mom also got him hormone therapy starting pretty early in his teen years to minimize the effects of puberty. He is super grateful.
• Always chaotic.
• Uses "I'm gay" as an excuse for anything.
• Made out with Cyrus in front of some shitty evangelical preacher protesting at PRIDE.
• Cant even picture ever dating a girl and has no idea how Cyrus ever thought he was straight.
Amber
• Homosexual/Homo-romantic, Cis Girl, She/her
• Sapphic queen
• Is overwhelmed by how pretty girls are
• Loves Britney Spears
• Probably too good for you.
• Is ready to ruin anyone's life if they say anything homophobic or transphobic to her girlfriend(Andi), Best Friends(Cyrus and Iris) or her little brother. (TJ)
Marty
• Heterosexual/Hetero-romantic, Trans Guy, He/him
• Runs fast to outrun that dysphoria.
• His family was not supportive like TJ's but TJ and his family have his back.
• Unsafe binding methods until TJ forced him to be safer
• Big dumb boy energy
• Is so proud of his girlfriend all the time.
• At a track meet, some asshole guy from another school kept telling Marty to go run with the girls because there is no way he can keep up with "real" guys.
• Marty beat every guys time and won in both events he participated in: Sprinting and Long Distance.
• He still can't believe how lucky he is to have Buffy as a girlfriend.
Libby
• Pansexual/pan-romantic, cis girl, she/her
• Attracted more towards fem folx but she has dated both fems and mascs.
• Polyamorous
• She and Walker are currently dating and are the cutest SAVA couple.
• Her other partner is Iris. They met through Andi and Amber. At Andi's 16th birthday, both Iris and Libby were there and they clicked right away.
• She was very open to Walker about this and they were so supportive.
• Best aesthetic
Walker
• Pansexual/pan-romantic, non-binary, they/them
• Polyamorous
• Obviously with Libby
• Recently broke up with their other partner so only dating Libby right now.
• Loves to wear androgynous, slightly more masc. clothing. As they gets older, they are getting more daring in their feminine clothing elements though
• They can't picture just feeling like one set in stone gender.
• Has days where they gets a little dysphoric about their body but has other
• If one more boomer says "They" is plural, so help me god.
Iris
• Homosexual/Homo-romantic, trans Girl, She/her
• She and Amber became friends in the third grade when a mean guy called her freak for wearing a dress to school. The guy said "Boys don't wear dresses." And she started crying and saying she was a girl. Amber saw him laughing at her so she kicked him in the not so nice parts and She and Iris have been friends ever since.
• She finally feel right when she is with Libby. She, herself is not polyamorous but is fine with Libby having other partners.
• Realized she was a lesbian about a day into dating Cyrus but wanted to try to be straight.
• Did not work.
• Literally the sweetest.
• She and Walker actually love playing video games together even when Libby is not around.
Reed
• Bisexual/Bi-romantic, cis boy, he/him
• Loves to flirt... with everyone
• Used to have a crush on TJ
• Even though he and TJ aren't friends anymore, he would never out TJ as trans bc that crosses a line.
• Has dated like half the school
• Will ruin your life and not give a fuck
• He made out with this cheerleader behind the bleachers and literally an hour later made out with her "straight" boyfriend
• Literally loves chaos
Gus
• Asexual/aromantic, genderqueer, he/him/she/her/they/them
• Really only wants friendships
• Pronouns dont matter to him but will alway respect yours
• Doesn't like to be touched at all.

now having said that [wep ep 4 spoilers below]
🎉 congratulations momoe sawaki on the lgbt+ status 🎉 like obviously it’s not clear where she lands (going w she/they pronouns for now bc it’s not clear but the switch from boku to watashi and other stuff indicates appreciating feminine identifiers at least currently) for gender or sexuality, but 1) it’s honestly nice to see a lot of different ppl of a variety of sexualities and genders find solidarity and relatability in what’s currently been shown 2) the series is clearly going to develop this further and (in a very very rare state of trust I don’t show almost any series so please dear god cloverworks don’t fuck this up) I believe in the crew to have an arc of growth on some level for acceptance, even if there’s no exact labels because it’s hard and labels aren’t for everyone. plus these are all high schoolers so it’s not set in stone (this is speaking on my personal experience of starting hs as an ‘ally’, entering college as bi/pan with a possible case of genders, exiting college as a n-b lesbian)
idk it’s just so rare and amazing to have a series where I don’t have to have the caveat of ‘well baiting’s the most they’ll ever do’ or similar when I read characters as lgbt+. it makes me so happy. again please for the love of anything cloverworks do not fuck this up

ok real quick? i never understood why people are exclusionists. why are you against neopronouns, aspec people, trans folks in general, bi/pan/poly/omni people, etc.? so what if it “proves homophobes right?” they’re gonna commit hate crimes regardless of what we do unless we crack down on it. whatever we do isn’t gonna have an effect on them. why do you care about the pronouns another person uses, particularly neopronouns? yeah they can be tough to learn, i understand, but if you need help you can just look up websites to practice or better yet, ask the person using those pronouns and they’ll gladly help??
why are people deciding if other people are “trans enough?” your being trans isn’t my business, and their being trans isn’t yours, either. and yes, some people transition and regret it. but that doesn’t mean being trans needs these big rules, it just means we need to stop encouraging immediate transition but instead encourage healthy gender exploration. like, i wondered if i was a demigirl due to the slight disconnect i feel from gender as a whole. you know what i did? i researched, and tried she/they pronouns. and while i learned that no, i am definitely a female and nothing more, i also learned a lot about being nonbinary, which helped me be a better ally. why? because i was around people who taught me how to healthily experiment. let’s do that? please? also like. don’t misgender people even if you doubt their transness. if you misgender someone intentionally fuck you. nothing else to be said about it. don’t do things terfs do, guys. you’re not protecting trans folk, you’re harming your own people.
why do people think aspec people are bad?? what did they do???? they’re just vibing who gives a shit if they don’t need sex or romance, or if they have to know someone well to want it. as a pan person and also a romantic person, good on them! that shit is tiring and confusing and if they don’t need it then cool! they have extra time to spend not worrying about it, and from what i’ve seen a lot of them spend that time cooking. that’s great! leave aspec people alone they’re literally just making food. you sound like you got rejected and just never stopped being salty. that puts you on par with a cishet dude who hates lesbians because one he’s attracted to won’t make an exception for him. shut the fuck up. oh and aspec people aren’t prudes. they just don’t feel attraction. this isn’t to say aspec people can’t have a high sex drive! attraction (or lack thereof) and horny do not have to be the same that’s not how things work. oh and stop saying they’re inhuman or broken or some shit. no they’re fucking not. plenty of people who feel attraction don’t want kids, and guess what? this isn’t fucking caveman times. we don’t really need everyone to directly pass on their lineage or really want to. gay couples do these things called adoption or surrogation if they want kids. ace people can do that too. wow. who knew. stop being an asshole and Let Aspecs Vibe.
on a similar note, bi/pan/poly/omni folk! what the hell did we do?????? we’re “hetero passing????” what even is that???? hey dumbasses everyone is hetero passing if they’re not in a relationship because we live in a world where people expect each other to be heterosexual. sometimes even people in Clear Homosexual Relationships get asked if they’re siblings or some shit. i’ve seen women post about their homo marriages and get comments like “awww besties! having your wedding on the same day as your best friend is such goals!” a lot of people have horrible gaydars (also that erases straight trans people who are btw lgbt it is in the name). we’re not gonna cheat on you or leave you. this one confuses me. how do you think we see people??? as food?? we don’t like. get sick of something and decide to switch over to something else. our whole thing is that generally we don’t really give a shit about your gender???? like it’s not really a factor? some of us have differing standards for different genders but like. overall it’s not that important?? so why do you think we’d get “tired of vagina” or “miss dick” or some shit??? that feels vaguely transphobic. why is it always about sex?? which leads me to my next question. how the hell did “you want attention/you’re a whore” become a thing???? bitch what??? say you’re a gay dude. do you want to fuck literally every man you see? “no, of course not?” huh, funny, since you seem to think that’s how attraction works. we still have fucking standards, same as almost everyone else. and even if we didn’t, then what? who gives a shit? it’s 2020 man why are we still slutshaming? some people are horny stop fucking caring. oh and also stop pitting bi/pan/poly/omni people against each other!!! what the hell!!! why is that a thing??? we should be loving each other guys!! everyone has their own definitions of labels and reasons why they use them. pan people, stop calling all bi people transphobes. they’re not. bi people, stop calling all pan people biphobic (but also bisexual at the same time??? ig they think it’s internalized?). we’re not. and let’s not erase polysexual (not to be confused with polyamourous) or omnisexual people. they’re here too and they are just as valid as us. we should be filled with solidarity and appreciation for each other, not hate and spite. there’s not a competition to be the one sole label that means “i’m interested in multiple genders,” literally just pick what you’re comfy with and respect other people. sorry this one is longer i just have more experience dealing with shit like this
in conclusion, why the fuck are our own people attacking us??? i can understand if the word “queer” is a trigger word for some seeing as it is used as a slur, so with that one we literally just let people use it if they want to and don’t force it on anyone who doesn’t want to. bam problem solved. however, why are trans people who don’t fit a perfect mold a problem? why are aspecs a problem? why are bi/poly/pan/omni people a problem? what the fuck? every group i’ve talked about has been here since day one, by the way. we aren’t new. if you’re an exclusionist i want you to please not interact with me, i’m tired and just as my points probably didn’t change your mind, your points will not change mine. dear god can we please just let people be stop giving a shit a label is something we use to feel comfortable go away
TL;DR: stop fighting each other and instead respect each other. we’re a family and we should love each other. also exclusionists don’t interact
cishets can totally reblog this btw! just don’t clown please and thank you
#can we stop being so awful to each other?? let’s love each other instead#if we destroy ourselves from the inside out with all of these weird rules and definitions placed on something so personal as orientation#-or gender#then we’re just gonna let the homophobes win.#they want our destruction#let’s at least make them work for it#we’re a family- not warring factions#so let’s support each other and go punch racists/homophobes/transphobes/nazis#the tumblr lgbtq+ community feels like a confused pokemon#stop hurting yourself and attack the enemy. please for the love of god#i don’t usually talk abt discourse but uh. a bitch is tired of this shit#so it’s all going in one post and then i’m not flooding your dash!#long post
