#pride month questions

[whoishotteranimepolls]

Naruto/Sasuke are more Coded than Fanon, I am begging my fellow SNS-ers to give a link to some 5-page googledoc or something because yes queerbaiting, but also yes queerbaiting, like everything they did was about each other. I don't watch the heap of crap that Boruto is (I apologise to the fans of Boruto for the slander), but in Naruto/Naruto Shippuuden, Naruto and Sasuke are actually *obsessed* with each other.

Does this count as Defend Your Blurbo? I originally just wanted to say something about the Pride Event, but this might actually fit into that category.

Characters are Canon, Coded and Fanon. However, ships are more Canon and Fanon because I don't want to be arguing queerbaiting or subtext until the cows come home?

And it also depends on how many requests I get in each category So if enough people can make a Case for heavily coded ships for a couple of six-way polls. We may get a coded category but I only have one ship that was specifically requested for the coded category so I'm just going to toss it into the Fanon category right now.

Plus the fanon ship category is going to be where all the drama and fun is going to happen. I can guarantee it

why would you be unsafe at pride

I'm going to assume this question is asked in good faith and with a genuine interest in my safety. I'm also going to be very direct and blunt.

Jewish people are being targeted and attacked worldwide. Not just in right-wing spaces, but also leftist spaces. And yes that includes Pride and queer related events. If I want to attend pride wearing my kippah and my magen david, there is a good chance I will have some unpleasant words thrown at me, at the very least. There is a chance I will be physically attacked and/or kicked out of the march.

I would recommend spending more time listening to Jewish people on their struggle with antisemitism in the present. I don't mean that as a snarky comment, I just think listening to minorities about their struggles is a crucial part of activism. Hope this answered your question! If you'd like to ask more questions, feel free to reach out again, either in my ask box or my DMs

A Linked Universe meets The Dark Crystal AU! I don't even remember what started it at this point. I remembered that the Dark Crystal and Age of Resistance are things I like, blinked, and woke up three days later with an AU and a bunch of art.

The designs and the story are a wip and for fun so expect a lot of variation! (I have a few different beginnings, ideas for different designs, etc)! :D

In addition to #linked universe I'll be using the tags #the dark crystal lu au and #courage of the dark crystal!

So, we're ten days into pride month. Things are a bit confusing for me right now. I’m trying to figure out what I want, or what I need.

I know that I’m aromantic, but…

I want companionship. I want commitment.

I want to kiss someone. I want to make out with someone.

I want to cuddle and watch a movie with someone.

I want to spoil someone. I want to be spoiled.

I want to love someone. I want to be loved.

I want emotional intimacy. I want physical intimacy.

I want these things with multiple people.

I don’t see any of that as inherently romantic… Maybe it would be easier if I did? Something about that feels wrong, somehow. Why do I have to slap a romantic label on it by default, when I know that none of these things need to be confined to romance?

People aren’t usually committed to you unless you’re their partner. I’d like to have a few partners. Do I want that to be romantic, though? I mean, I know that I don’t want it to be romantic, because I don't want anything to be romantic. But, am I opposed to it?

I don’t know. I can’t tell.

Most people would call these feelings romantic. Why does it feel so much more complicated to me? Why do I have this weird disconnect?

Sometimes I feel like it would be easier if I just tossed out the aromantic part of who I am. Just being bisexual would make things so simple. But I don't think I can just flip a switch like that. Can I?

Do other people feel this way?

Is it just me?

Edit - 6/20/2024

A lot of people have been giving me the same advice over and over, and while I appreciate the sentiment, I've probably heard it before. Like, a lot of "you should look into QPRs/cupioromanticism/bellusromanticism/etc." when I've already known about those things for years.

Please read this post before giving advice or input, especially if it involves labels or attraction/relationship types. I know a lot about labels and attraction/relationship types; my struggle isn't coming from a lack of vocabulary. Thank you.

Hello! Happy June! It's Pride and I have another question (9/30)

Yo, today, today, I had a long shift, so I will be talking about something shorter: Bi-Lighting!

Bisexual Lighting refers to the use of pink, purple, and blue lights simultaneously, usually in film and tv, but also in Youtube and music videos. Obviously, not all who use this are deliberately doing so to represent/portray bisexuality, but it is fair to say that queer artists and creators who do so, know exactly what they're doing.

This colour scheme is and was popular on its own due to the revival of the 1980s aesthetic, and it is often associated with retrowave or synthwave music.

While it may not have originally been used to slyly represent a character's sexuality, this meaning has become cemented in the public zeitgeist and is an established part of bisexual storytelling. The generally accepted invention of the "Bisexual Lighting" concept came from tumblr (<- which shows up a lot when it comes to modern queer media/trends tbh). It was invented by a Sherlock fan in 2014 who believed that the lighting was being used to signal that Dr. John Watson was bisexual, and therefore Johnlock was real and would eventually appear on the show. It may not have been an accurate prediction, but it did give us this phrase.

Obviously, not all or even most of the instances of bisexual lighting are deliberate ways of conveying sexuality, and it is simply just a very pretty and appealing lighting combination, but personally, I love making everything queer, so I'm into it lmao. Something that is interesting about the colour purple is that historically, it has been used to represent royalty or the divine, and also magic, aliens, and the unknown, so frankly I think we should embrace it more.

So for today's question, in your opinion, which Minecraft block gives the most Bi energy to you? (please, use whatever criteria you prefer, this a dumb question for a reason, a little light-hearted thing for a bit of a break from deep questions!! :))

Happy Pride 🌈 🎉

hello!

i’m feeling mossy cobblestone for this one. one of the staples in practically all of my builds. it’s quite versatile, can be used in a wide range of vibes of builds of different genres, and it’s more than just your average stone block. i love using it in pathways and adding a bit of color to the general stone. one of my favorites for sure :)
