#one of 3 bi icons in this novel tbh

[melpomeneprose]

Get to know me: TURN: Washington's Spies Edition!

Favorite Season: Season 3. I grew up on Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan. Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles and the bicon The Vampire Lestat literally saved my life, in catholic school, in the midst of my own bi crisis compounded with my crisis of morals vs the system. Discounting Benjamin’s wig, if a character, like Benjamin, or Lestat, or Percy, all of which are flawed main POV characters ~don’t~ have a crisis of morals or question the nature of “hero” or in Lestat’s case “goodness” I don’t see the point. Sorry not sorry.

Least favourite season: Season 2. I love Annlett I just don’t personally like Abraham Woodhull ~ as depicted in the show or irl very much, though he’s better than Thomas Jefferson, all my homies hate Thomas Jefferson.

Side note: good job making Abe sympathetic and relatable, you deserve a medal, cause that’s not easy: @cabbxges-and-kings. 💕

Favorite character(s):

Benjamin Tallmadge.

Sarah Livingston.

John André.

Abigail.

Lola.

Philomena.

Anna Strong.

Mary Woodhull.

Peggy Shippen.

Alexander Hamilton.

John Graves Simcoe.

George Washington ~ but only as depicted in TURN, I’d readily punch his ghost, team Sally Hemings & Ona Judge.

Least Favorite Character: Benedict Arnold. Enough said.

Favorite Romantic Relationship: I thought Anna/Selah Strong was very touching tbh. Tbf I’m THE multi-shipper so Benjamin/everyone -> including my 18th century vampire original character, but, regarding canon: Anna/Selah Strong.

Favorite Friendship:

Abigail and Anna Strong. ~ Abigail, my love, you’re so under appreciated.

Benjamin Tallmadge and Caleb Brewster. ~ Though, I see Benjamin as bi, so I see them platonically, romantically, and queer platonically, cause I’m not a coward.

Favorite Episode(s):

Hearts and Minds.

Judgement.

Yorktown — I don’t remember the exact title, but, that’s a fun one.

Pilot — it’s iconic.

Least Favorite Episode: I appreciate George Washington’s contributions to America as a historical figure, but, as mentioned above, team Sally Hemings & Ona Judge. I also appreciate the actors performances in this show. I act as a hobby and I can script write, though my preference is novels, novellas, poetry & zines — in that order. TURN is exceedingly well written and acted, I just am not partial to George Washington. So the Washington centric episode.

Favorite Iconic Quote: I embodied Benjamin Tallmadge as a coping mechanism during my first week of college, so it’s gotta be: “Oh, I won’t be hiding.”

Borrowed from: @honorhearted. 🫡

Tagging: @historiavn, @keptflame, @nauticql & @johngravessimcoe, @cavalrylad, & @annastrxng. 💕

Boy #17: Mitsuru Numai

[jaqobis]

okay i’ll do a PROPER THOUGHTS POST about AMOL and total series thoughts at some point — everything is still sinking in! — but let’s do a fave characters ranking first. i am 500% sure i’ve forgotten someone i really care about, narrowing down to top 10 was hard lksmdfls

in approximate order!

1. egwene al’vere, my girl, my love, the light of my life! i may never love another character as much as i love her. amyrlin of my heaRT. every time i try to go into more detail about my love i just descend into incoherent babbling so we’ll just have to wait till my inevitable 92304 word metas about her arc slkdfjs

2. rand al’thor, this was SUCH a close second. i love rand and egwene about equally tbh, but she inches out juuuuust that little bit. that said: my boy!! my sad little doomed chosen one trying his best and sometimes committing war crimes along the way!

3. elayne trakand, INCREDIBLY SATISFYING STORYLINE, wonderful mad scientist queen, love every minute around her. huge chaotic bi energy. politicking GENIUS.

4. nynaeve al’meara, angriest healer of my heart!!! wish she had more to do in the back half of the series but every moment she’s on screen is a banger.

5. mat cauthon, gently puts a hand over his post-winter’s heart material. fantastic gambler with a heart of gold and too many knives, hilarious lad, love how badly he wanted to be in any other novel series than this one.

6. aviendha, LOVE HER! love her sense of honor, love her romances with rand and elayne, love how much she grows and learns from her experiences.

7. moiraine damodred, MEAN MAGIC MOM!!!! thrower of incredible shade. sets up the MOST dramatic venue for her “death.” did not ask for all this child-wrangling but the wheel weaves as the wheel wills. what an icon.

8. verin mathwin, RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MOST BALLER REVEAL IN THIS ENTIRE SERIES and that is NO SMALL FEAT. when this woman commits she coMMITS. incredible show-stopping amazing.

9. gawyn trakand, look. look. i’m care him. he is trying his best and his best sucks so much sdklfsjls MORE SERIOUSLY i feel like some of his more frustrating issues are reflective to broader issues around the writing in the last few books of the series and i can’t blame him, specifically, for them. he has some really swoony moments with egwene and i’m too much of an arthuriana nerd to NOT be compelled by an ill-made knight

10. loial, son of arent son of halan. I MEAN, NATURALLY!!!!! i’m so pleased he gets to write his bOOK, i hope he gets some nice restful chill time at the stedding after all this time away.

Bi King Wonho Masterpost

!IMPORTANT: this is mostly just for fun and for lgbt monbebes. i want this to stay on tumblr, so please don’t repost on other websites. shippers or heteros do not touch this post. 

• allegedly dated a cis girl and trans boy in his uzzlang days, (some reports say that they are the same person but i highly doubt it, some say he dated the boy to protect him from the rumours, who knows, look it up if you really want to know)

• him being captivated by other male idols:

• eunwoo (feat. the rest of monsta x - once during fighter era and once during beautiful era) [ fighter era here & beautiful era here ] • jaehyun during a radio show, he even forgot the question he was asked [ here ] • honestly? shownu as he was speaking japanese [ here ]

• just for fun him sporting gay fashion with multiple prints here + him being the  king Of Fashion . more: here ; here ; here  and there is a whole twitter dedicated to this rich king’s fashion here 

• speaking of fashion and said blog, they mentioned wonho wearing safety pin earrings, which apparently is a statement in support of women, immigrants, lgbt people, minorities, etc. tweet here . might be true, might be just wonho wanting to put safety pins on his ears, either way he’s either a good person which is gay culture, or just a disaster gay, which again, is gay culture. notable is also at the golden disk awards in which he’s wearing safety pin rings again in support of good causes. [gda rings tweet here ] 

• also him participating in the polished man campaign raising awareness for child sexual violence. you can see that he is a very supportive and inclusive person, and even if there was a chance he was straight himself (which is minimal tbh) he’d still be a supporter. 

• his most iconic look up to date  no hetero man is this stylish by himself and if you don’t think so you can keep lying to yourself 

• in the beautiful era mnet meet and greet they had to act in pairs, wonho was paired with changkyun in a romantic scene and looked like he fell in love when changkyun grabbed his face [ timestamp: starting 40:55/ find here ]

• during mxray season 2 in the drama acting episode it’s a gay gold mine, first of all saying that changkyun is a guy with gorgeous lips, mentioning stuff abt kihyun’s lips too, falling in love with girl hyungwon and saying he wants to be lovers with her - watch it [ here ] and here are some screencaps | gifsets highlighting what happened (worth mentioning: changkyun & minhyuk’s gay moments there too, forming the chaotic trinity of monsta x) 

• gave minhyuk a lap dance on jamelia’s stop, we love a suave, smooth legend   [ timestamp: 14:47 / find here  ] 

• i could not find the video anywhere else but there is a cute moment with wonho going to a girl and her caressing his face, i better see none of you complain about this he is the Bi king for a reason [ timestamp: 6:33 / find here ]

• from zero, the song he composed, arranged and wrote the lyrics to has no gendered pronouns, plus the iconic move in the hyungwonho version

• in a pretty old post i’ve made  asking lgbt monbebes to tell me their bias, roughly 1/3 of the ones who reblogged either put wonho as their bias or pointed out that he is the highest possibility of a non-straight member, (some cases, along with minhyuk*/and changkyun), with a rough difference of 57 answers from the other members. you can argue that it’s because of his popularity, but second came changkyun, and it is very likely for lgbt fans to pick the one they identify with the most as their bias 

• speed round → taking every chance he has to mention male monbebes, or just overall being a gender inclusive king who gives no fuck: 

• shows a lot of love to male fans, always blowing them kisses (happened on after school club multiple times) and saying he loves them

• was extremely excited when he read a comment on a vlive calling him “wonho hyung”

• he was asked about a group’s performance but all he kept saying is that they’re really handsome

• says that he enjoys wiping the sweat off his members

• “headband is not only for girls, no difference for gender, so i can wear it” + calling shownu the most beautiful and saying “beautiful isn’t for girls only” ( also, the members kept calling wonho beautiful in the same vlive the headband thing happened, which you can find here )

• when members were asked about their ideal type, he said someone that can cook ramen well, and proceeded to tell that gender doesn’t matter as long as you can cook ramen [ here ]

• i couldn’t find a video but during kcon mexico when speaking about monbebes he said “everybody my girl my boy” ft. changkyun who said “beauties and handsome guys, please be quiet” [ here’s a gifset that shows the points i mentioned before + this one ] 

• read a comment about monbebes becoming female characters from internet novels on their "love story" with monsta x and he said "i bet there's also male characters since there's also male fans!” [ here ] 

• him getting scared at everything which you may think is not relevant but it is actually gay culture [ here’s a cute compilation ]  

• a fansign was held at a wedding hall and him and changkyun walked together as ‘grooms’ while the rest of mx was singing wedding themes (ft. hyunghyuk) [ here ]  

• him respecting women: in dukgune during their freeze game wonho’s question was “how many sub vocals are in wjsn?” he answered with: “there is no sub vocal in wjsn, they’re all main vocals, they all sing well” video here, another comedy gold

• the fact that he can’t shut up whenever he feels like mx are being wronged and how open and kind he is, how much he loves monbebes, his sensitivity, him being a water sign, being petty when he gets interrupted, that’s gay culture too now folks, tag yourself i’m him being petty when he gets interrupted n being a water sign

feel free to reblog and add on, i probably missed a lot anyways!

Top 5 Wednesday - Favourite M/M Couples

your favourite dudes loving dudes. they don’t necessarily have to be gay, they can be bi or pan or smth else

nowhere in the prompt did it say they have to be completely 100% unambiguously canon so not all of these will be, but i’ll say which ones aren’t

1. cecil palmer / carlos - welcome to night vale series - joseph fink & jeffery cranor

tbf, their relationship isn’t the focus of these books because they aren’t the main characters, but it’s still very present. more so in the second one, as carlos plays a larger role there. i’ve been listening to the podcast for years so these two mean a lot to me. and they’re married !! they’re actually a married couple !!! i still get really happy when i think about it

2. jesper fahey / wylan van eck - six of crows duology - leigh bardugo

the playful flirting was always going to escalate. and honestly, in a series where the other couples use dramatic turns of phrase to talk about their feelings, jesper’s ‘maybe i liked your stupid face’ is ICONIC

3. nick nelson / charlie spring - solitaire / heartstopper - alice oseman

heartstopper is a prequel webcomic to alice oseman’s debut novel. if anything, read heartstopper for the brilliant portrayal of someone realising that they aren’t straight. nick is bisexual and it’s written on the page, y’all

4. kenya kobayashi / satoru fujinuma - erased - kei sanbe

these two aren’t actually canon, but come tf on. kenya definitely has a massive crush on satoru, at the very least. he’s satoru’s partner in crime, and there’s no way that satoru would’ve succeeded without him. they even have their own special meeting place, away from all the others. i could talk about this for a while. if you want to talk to me about this pairing, or this series even, then please do. i need more people who’ve read/watched it

5. newt / thomas - the maze runner series - james dashner

i reread this series recently, and finally actually read the fever code, and as a result have been having a slight maze runner breakdown over the last few days. basically, newt isn’t straight. this is another thing i could talk about for a long time, tbh, so hmu if you want to hear it  : D  it’s not strictly canon, but dashner said it was okay to read newt that way, and he does talk about this pairing so....
