#pride

[paper-mario-wiki]

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

I'm going to call this a data visualization of a kind, because it tells you what this colourblind person experiences. It's amusing,* but the kind of amusement that comes with learning something you hadn't thought of before. For this person, colourblindness is not just about not being able to distinguish red and green, but also other colours that have elements of red and green in them. It generates empathy, makes you literally see through someone else's eyes,** so I'm saying it fits on this blog.

*To people who aren't colourblind.

*Unless you're also red/green colourblind, in which case this whole post probably just feels like an inside joke you don't get. Sorry. In case it's not obvious from the context: the individual lego bricks making up the different stripes in the Pride flag are not perfectly colour-matched.

Is "sapiosexual" still a thing? If not, I suggest we redefine it as "any sapient being" for people like Garak.

As I remember, the actor had no idea how to play Garak at first, but he took one look at Bashir's actor and went, "Oh, I got this."

Andy addressed Garak/Bashir slash fairly often, but this clip is one of my favorites - I love the way he’s pretending to be so shocked and yet is so totally on board with it too.  He also reveals what activity Garak loves the most. ;-)

wilson thought he’d be safe coming to the parade. no one he worked with would show up here. sure, he knew everyone around him was an ally. but he was pretty confident none of them would be attending the event.

this was somewhere wilson could maybe possibly finally explore the possibility he wasn’t as straight as he proclaimed he was. because straight men didn’t stare at their best friends out of the corner of their eye when their best friend was busy writing symptoms on a white board. straight men didn’t get jealous when their best friend flirted with other people.

so yeah, maybe wilson was a little bit curious about bisexuality.

he’d found a tie with pink, purple, and blue stripes and paired it with a baby blue shirt. and he walked into the pride parade with his head ducked down and a blush dusting his cheeks.

he’d barely walked around the first corner when a man dropped a rainbow hat on wilson’s head. “welcome to pride,” the man said, ghosting a barely-there kiss to wilson’s cheek before disappearing again.

wilson reached up, touching his cheek reverently as a shy smile tugged at his lips. he could do this. he could accept who he was. and he could accept others seeing him for who he was. it felt good - to finally be free to express himself.

someone handed him colored sunglasses and streamers and wilson felt his confidence swell. everyone he walked past said something supportive or handed him something rainbow themed. wilson had never had more fun in his life.

just as he was about to cross the street towards a group with feather boas around their necks, something caught wilson’s eye.

he turned around, his jaw dropping in shock. he had to be seeing things. fumbling to pull the sunglasses of his eyes, wilson blinked his eyes once, twice, and then rubbed his eyes to see if what he was seeing was real.

it was.

there was house. half leaning against a statue draped in a rainbow flag. house. wearing a flowing pink, yellow, and blue ombré dress. house. wearing a curly dark brown long haired wig, bright blue lipstick on his lips, with a drink in his hand talking to several people also dressed in billowing dresses.

house suddenly glanced up; intuitively sensing someone was staring at him.

house’s gaze locked with wilson’s.

wilson stared at house outfit. analyzed the colors and matched them in his mind to the flag he remembered seeing on a banner at the start of the pride event.

oh.

wilson felt house’s eyes darting up and down as he deduced the colors wilson was wearing and what it meant.

an understanding passed between them when their eyes locked again.

house flashed wilson a lopsided grin. acceptance.

wilson took a step towards house. understanding.

when they met in the middle on the sidewalk, house leaned forward and pressed his lips to wilson’s cheek. wilson felt a shudder of desire race down his spine.

“took you long enough,” house said over the cheers as the parade moved past them on the street.

wilson wasn’t sure if house meant how long it took for wilson to accept his own sexuality, or maybe his attendance at pride, or maybe it was about acknowledging what had been between them all these years.

either way, wilson felt a smile tug at the corner of his lips. “got tired of waiting,” he replied.

moments later, there was a blue lipstick stain on wilson’s lips.
