I'm just trying to see something. Not sure if this has been done before?

Do you know this (implied) bisexual character?

Propaganda:

He appears to have a crush on the player character, regardless of their gender. Though it’s removed in the English version, he makes some flirty comments to the player in the Japanese version as well.

"it's just a tag" "I'm aroace and I don't want my sexuality to be a Tumblr thing"

Tumblr has literally one of the biggest aroace communities when it comes to social media, having more information along with a community can help other people find out who they are, which is really important. If you don't want the tag to have the flag pattern, that's a you problem. Our sexuality having more relevance and representation as every other sexuality is really important and especially when we're talking about the social media with the biggest amount of aroace users

[sage-thee-herbmaster]

Politicising representation in media is redundant and not fair to those who are surrounded by the majority, black kids grow up to accept themselves as black more if they see black representation in media, queer and trans kids grow up accepting themselves or even realising they’re queer and/or trans sooner if they see a queer and/or trans representation in media. That’s just makes sense.

To deny that kind of representation isn’t needed or pushing some “political agenda” thus marking it as negative is a sign of intolerance and an excessive resistance to change.

Isat LGBTIA+ highlights HAPPY PRIDE!!!

(spoilers <3)

Yes, I don't have a lot of screenshots for great representation in the game. No, I'm not going to go search through my archives for more.

(also no big dialogue from Bonnie's identity, so snack duty <3)

I fr love the representation in this game <3

How do you think Lucius and Narcissa would canonically treat Draco if he was actually gay? Would Lucius be disappointed in Draco for not being interested in women? What is your take on this?

This is a tough question to answer because aside from JKR's 'diversity win. the highly morally questionable manipulator of children was gay for wizard hitler' statement after the books came out and 2 instances of homophobic insults, LGBTIA+ people simply are not visible in the books.

From a Doylist perspective this is because JKR sucked at representation (although hilariously she was so straight she accidentally wrote several characters as extremely queer - but she doesn't get credit for that).

So in-universe the lack of discussion of this topic means either it's so accepted that it's just not even brought up. Or else the wizarding world is wildly homophobic. You can read it as either. The purebloods certainly seem to value producing offspring with appropriate matches and furthering their bloodline.

But in a universe with magic it's quite believable that a same-sex couple could very easily produce a child. Similarly it's believable that transitioning from one gender to another is as simple as swallowing one dose of a special potion to the point that it's not really worth remarking on because being born in the wrong body is as easy to remedy as having a hangnail.

In Draco's case I think it's notable that he never has a girlfriend. If his family was deeply homophobic I'd think he would put more effort into keeping up appearances and dating someone. That's how I like to read it in general because I like to think in a world with magic and dragons, queer people being able to exist isn't too much of a stretch of imagination. But I certainly think there's canonical evidence for the opposite reading. And some excellent fics have been written for that.

My personal preference is to view it as the wizarding world having tolerant views towards queerness and just being intolerant about different sorts of things than in the muggle world - i.e. being gay is fine but if you want to marry a nonhuman you might face prejudice.

Yeah, I thought I would try it with the MBTI as well!

[aretheybisexual]

Do you know this (implied) bisexual character?

Propaganda:

A character comments that he seems to be in love with the player, regardless of the players gender.

[theholmwoodfoundation]

[looks at your recent polycula reblog] can we expect such wonders in the show? 👁️👁️

Really looking forward to whatever you have planned! 😁

Thank you so much!

Obviously we can’t talk any specifics, but as a queer writing team we are absolutely here for more LGBTIA+ representation in the story!

"love is love", "you just haven't found the right person yet", "you're too young to be sure", "i could never be aroace", "love is human", "aroace people aren't actually queer", " *aroace representation* omg look at this ACE rep", "how do you even live without romance/sex", "y'all are just inhumane", "what if you fall in love", "the a on lgbtia is for allies", *ships aroace character with another character*

yeah no obviously, aphobia isn't normalized at all /s

this post is not directed to other queer people. the "love is love" slogan is used by many companies and that slogan doesn't include aro and trans people which are part of the community. I'm fucking tired of all of these aphobes who already called me a homophobe, telling me I'm not queer or creep around on my posts. STOP.

Tell me about your favorite pieces of work. What's an art piece and a writing piece you're just really proud of?

Oh boy Oh boy, it’s my time to shine ✊🏽

Among my writings, I have many that I am attached to mostly because of the love you guys have shown have really helped me be proud of them but at the top of them I have Demonically Adorable

I wrote the first ‘fight scene’ that I was genuily proud out, I think it was actually my first one in general and I think a smooth job in it.

I ‘ve also struggled with those types of fics where you introduce a Reader into a canon series of events because I struggle to find the balance between keeping it true to egents but also not making it a copy paste.

The funniest part about this is that this fic was I think the first request I rejected. I was telling @cosmocup1d, the requester, bless their heart btw, that I had spent days trying to think of a plot but I had failed only to get inspiration a day later. And man on my I was in the zone. I loved how it turned out from start to finish, which usually I end up insecure about one part of the fic but this one I felt so accomplished.

That being said I also feel great accomplishment for Hungry for truth, the one shot that I had written thanks to you and 💧’s prompts and ideas ( please let me work with you guys again, i am in my knees begging you). I think I have mentioned it before but I am a fan of yandere but am horrible at writting it. I gave a try on Delivery for one and Locked Database and I felt okay about them, I liked them but Hungry for truth was top of the top. It was something that I felt so proud to show both you and 💧.

With it I felt like I had truly ashieved that dark theme, yandere theme that I had attempted to reach with the other true but failed to truly achieve.

Now on to art, it’s funny I don’t think many of you know I draw 😂, thats how this blog originally started and was intended to be, an art blog but then you inspired me to actually try to publish my writings and so here we are.

I did many types of art, including the abstract art lgbtia event where I published a couple of them every day in pride month. I like those but they were pretty simple, fast, something to show my pride more than the art. Now if we are talking about my favorite one’s it has got to be this one.

In it I drew my oc Alexa ( the pink haired girl) along with the representation of two other friends who back then were anons who identified themselves with the 🧶 and 🌻 emoji. I felt proud of how I did the backround, something that I had been practicing for a while and finally aces to the creation of emoji representations like them. The autumn representation I did is also up there, I remember at first it was just a witch but when I started doing a bunch of hair do I was like wait pumpkin? (Please ignore the words on the post they are a mess of pretend family tree that even back then I din’t understand)

And an honarable mention to my soulmate compass, less up there because most of it was simply tracing the photo of my actual compass with just a pretty backround

So yeah there they are! My proudest pieces. Thank you so much for asking quin 😂, I love answering questions of the stories I write, what was the thoughts behind it and I like even more interacting with each and every one of you.

As promised take your smooch
