Miles Vorkosigan is literally if "curiosity killed the cat / but satisfaction brought him back" was a person. Straight he may ultimately be, but im sorry Lois you CANNOT tell me he has not personally investigated every type of consensual sexual experience offered to him. You're telling me he'll have an intimate and mutually satisfying sexual relationship with a female werewolf but intersex BEL THORNE is a bridge too far? Girl.
#i dont know if she ever comes out and says its because Bel Thorne is intersex#it might textually be because Miles isnt that promiscuous#but what im saying is that he ABSOLUTELY WOULD BE THAT PROMISCUOUS#he has no regard for social rules if they arent about harm and get in his way#vorkosigan saga#lois mcmaster bujold does great in general but wrt queerness she just doesnt know what shes talkin about#the way she handles Bel Thorne is overall very cool once you get past the painful choice of labels#but Miles would NOT be this constrained by straightness to not even go there once. he's not that guy#listen if EVERYONE ELSE ON BARRAYAR was that straight. Miles would be the 1 guy who wasn't#you can tell she doesnt know queerness much because opt-in intersexuality didnt catch on ON BETA COLONY#that is ABSOLUTELY where all the queers live and the environment COULD NOT BE BETTER for intersex and trans ppl#*and i do mean opt-in intersexuality and not transness. it's a whole thing#u can also tell bc Bel Thorne isnt absolutely drowning in whatever genitals they desire!!!#the Dendarii Free Mercenaries ALONE would be full of people trying to Hit That#let alone galactics all over the damn place who would be seduced by their heroics good looks AND charm#bel thorne has got it all is what im saying#....ALSO THE STUFF WITH THE WEREWOLF IS AMAZING
