Naples Pride Festival in Florida amid political struggles

Naples Pridein Florida get a permit to hold its annual festival in Cambier Park this coming June.The council voted 5-2 in favor of a permit for Pride Fest on Saturday, June 7.The council action makes it clear that the indoors drag show will be open only to people who are 18 years and older. No minors will be allowed in the center during any drag show.

This year the group asked for outdoors drag shows, even if minors were present in Cambier Park. The drag events have been indoors at Norris the past two years.

Jan 15, 2025，over 50 people spoke during public comment.Those against the event expressed concerns about drag shows and the presence of children, while supporters described Naples Pride Fest as a celebration of love, acceptance, inclusion, and unity."The grooming of children, minors, for the gratification of adults, no matter the orientation, even heterosexuals, is a crime and always has been," Priscilla Gray said during a public comment period."I wish our elected officials would focus on addressing the real needs from their constituents, instead of framing it as a way to protect children," Cori Craciun said. "All while they put the entire community at risk."

Another speaker highlighted the event’s purpose: “Naples Pride Day is a day for the LGBTQ+ community to celebrate achievements, promote visibility, pursue equality and honor those who fought for LGBTQ+ rights.”

Naples Pride has filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Naples and its entities for denying the non-profit organization a special events permit to host a family-friendly drag performance in one of the city’s public parks as part of its annual Pridefest celebration.The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, argues the First Amendment forbids the City of Naples from burdening the protected speech of Naples Pride—and the ability of its willing audience to receive that speech—because some members of the Naples community disapprove of its message.

“Before the City, emboldened by anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment, imposed unconstitutional burdens on Pridefest, Naples Pride was able to feature its family-friendly drag performance without issue for years,” said Samantha Past, LGBTQ+ Rights Staff Attorney at the ACLU of Florida. “The First Amendment ensures that viewpoint and content-based discrimination cannot infringe on freedom of speech and expression. Drag is an art form that holds great significance to the LGBTQ+ community both as a form of social commentary and celebration. Drag is constitutionally protected, even if someone doesn’t like it.”

In May 2023, Florida lawmakers enacted a law targeting drag performances, authorizing the State to revoke or suspend the operating and liquor licenses of any establishment that knowingly admits a minor, despite parental consent, to a drag performance. On June 23, 2023, a federal judge blocked Florida’s anti-drag law, finding that it likely violated the First Amendment, and it remains blocked until today. Here, the City imposed several additional restrictions beyond those required by the blocked state law.

On May 12, a federal judge ruled that Naples' restrictions on activity violated part of the First Amendment.District Judge John Steele ordered a partial preliminary injunction in Naples Pride’s ongoing lawsuit against the city, allowing the annual Pride Month drag performance to take place this year on the main stage of Naples’ Cambier Park, with all ages allowed to attend.

The annual Pridefest is the largest fundraiser for the LGBTQ+ social services nonprofit.Callhan Soldavini is a board member of and attorney for Naples Pride. She says that the ruling makes clear that city governments can’t silence free speech in the name of public safety.

The Naples city government said in a statement:“Notwithstanding the Court’s decisions yesterday, the City believes it has legal authority to grant special event permits on its property with reasonable conditions to ensure public safety. The City is currently evaluating the orders rendered yesterday and will determine its next steps.”

P*rn, dating apps/hook up culture, and 50/50 normalization are the three main culprits as to why the men of this generation seem so different than men from previous ones, and why so many beautiful and accomplished women are unable to secure a relationship without settling. Men always had their issues collectively, but it was never to the degree that we see today, and it’s largely due to the normalization from an early age to those three things.

The brains of men these days have been wired in a completely overly s3xualized manner. They don’t view women as people but as objects of strict desire and nothing else. Consumption of p*rn has not only given them unrealistic expectations of intimacy, it has influenced their s3xual orientations (see DL epidemic), and their social behaviour. Nowadays many don’t find regular girls attractive, which is why they choose to engage in “taboo” activities to feel some arousal. This leads them to becoming socially inept and to falling easy prey to manosphere content that only reinforces the objectification and dehumanization of women.

Dating apps then come in as an easy way for these men get the illusion of options, because while they might be generally not attractive, in the apps they get instant access to women they otherwise would never have in real life. And because many women have become desperate, by entertaining these men and giving them easy access to their bodies, the men no longer feel like they have to improve and work on themselves to attract a quality partner. It also gives them the idea that women are disposable because at any point they can ghost them for no reason and then swipe right to get another one. It makes them devalue access to us.

This easy access is then transferred to their expectations of relationships. They abuse the concept of equality to manipulate women into financially abusive arrangements where she’s expected to provide fiscally while also performing her feminine duties and taking care of a grown, able-bodied man. Naturally this continues to reinforce men’s lack of respect and gratitude for women in their lives, while increasing their own sense of self-importance, narcissism, ineptitude, and ungratefulness.

Obviously women are not responsible for the actions of men, but we do have the power to not reinforce and condone their sick ways. By deleting dating apps, standing our ground when we oppose 50/50 dating, and choosing to remain abstinent until marriage, we are taking the power dynamics back to our advantage. No, you are not unreasonable for not wanting to be with a man who consumes p*rn, or who wants to be sexually fluid with other men, or who views red pill content that dehumanizes you, or seems unwilling to provide things for you and cherish you in his life. It’s on you to stand firm in your decision to only entertain the gentlemen whose mindsets haven’t been completely fried by modern societal trends.

The “male loneliness epidemic” that we hear so much about is entirely self inflicted (not that anyone cares when it’s women who are lonely), and it’s a direct response to women saying no more to men who exhibit the behaviours outlined above. Hold the line, because they either leave their toxic ways and get better, or they will doom themselves to a life of solitude. Either way, that is their responsibility to fix, not yours.

🌷IMAGE 1:

The color red, often associated with intense emotions, plays a significant role in your reading, serving as a powerful symbol of passion, courage, and boldness. This vibrant hue suggests that your future partner will embody these very traits, presenting themselves as a confident and action-oriented individual who thrives on exploration and adventure. Rather than conforming to societal rules or traditions, they will embrace a more spontaneous and free-spirited approach to life, seeking out new experiences and challenges with enthusiasm.

While this adventurous nature may lead them to act impulsively at times, it is precisely this fearlessness that distinguishes them from others. They are not afraid to take risks or step outside their comfort zone, which can lead to exciting and unexpected journeys together. Their willingness to embrace the unknown will inspire you to join them in their pursuits, fostering a sense of adventure in your relationship.

In addition to their boldness, this person radiates warmth and positivity, creating an inviting atmosphere wherever they go. Their natural ability to spread joy and optimism will uplift those around them, making them a source of inspiration and motivation. You will find that their infectious energy can brighten even the dullest of days, encouraging you to adopt a more positive outlook on life.

Moreover, their quick-thinking mind and insatiable curiosity drive them to constantly seek knowledge and understanding. They are not content with surface-level information; instead, they delve deep into subjects that pique their interest, always eager to learn and grow. This intellectual curiosity will keep you engaged and alert, as they share fascinating insights and ideas that challenge your own perspectives.

Together, you and your future partner will embark on a journey filled with passion, adventure, and intellectual stimulation. Their boldness will encourage you to step outside your own boundaries, while their warmth and positivity will create a nurturing environment for your relationship to flourish. As you navigate life together, you will find that their fearless spirit and thirst for knowledge will not only enhance your connection but also inspire you to embrace your own passions and dreams.

🌷IMAGE 2:

This individual embodies a sense of romance and daydreaming that is truly enchanting, captivating all who encounter their presence. Their essence is painted in an abundance of white, yellow, and blue hues, colors that symbolize purity, joy, and tranquility. This vibrant palette suggests that they exude an air of mystique, drawing others in with an almost ethereal quality. Beneath this enchanting exterior lies a deep-seated purity, a genuine heart that radiates kindness and compassion.

They possess a remarkable ability to spread positivity, creating an uplifting atmosphere wherever they go. It is as if they carry a light within them, one that never casts negative energy onto others. Instead, they inspire those around them to embrace their own potential and pursue their dreams. Their kindness is not just a trait; it is a way of being that enriches the lives of everyone they touch.

In the realm of manifestation, this individual excels with an effortless grace. They have a unique talent for bringing their desires to fruition, as if the universe conspires to align with their intentions. This ability is enhanced by their strong connection to intuition and spirituality, which serves as a guiding force in their life. Their spiritual depth adds to their allure, making them not only captivating but also profoundly charming.

While they are inherently romantic and gentle, there exists a sensual side to them that they tend to keep private. This intimate aspect of their personality is reserved for that person who deem special, creating a sense of exclusivity and intrigue. It is in these moments of vulnerability that their true depth is revealed, showcasing a complexity that goes beyond the surface.

Rather than challenging or provoking, this person serves as a beacon of inspiration and motivation. They encourage personal growth and empowerment in those fortunate enough to be in their presence, fostering an environment where others feel safe to explore their own potential. Their influence is subtle yet profound, leaving a lasting impact on the hearts and minds of those they encounter. In a world that often feels chaotic, this individual stands as a reminder of the beauty of kindness, the power of dreams, and the magic of genuine connection.

🌷IMAGE 3:

Choosing a life partner is one of the most significant decisions you will make, and it is crucial to approach this selection process with a great deal of care and discernment. The importance of finding someone who resonates with your core values and lifestyle cannot be overstated; compatibility is the foundation upon which a lasting relationship is built. As you embark on this journey, it is vital to maintain an open mind and be willing to explore a variety of dating possibilities. This exploration will not only broaden your understanding of what you seek in a partner but also enrich your romantic experiences.

During your early twenties, particularly until you reach the age of 25, you are likely to experience a dynamic and sometimes tumultuous romantic landscape. This period is marked by significant personal growth and transformation, as you navigate the complexities of relationships and self-identity. It is a time when you will learn more about yourself, your desires, and the qualities that are truly important to you in a partner. This journey of self-discovery is essential, as it will lead you to a profound spiritual awakening, granting you clarity and insight into what you truly want from a romantic relationship.

As you engage in various romantic experiences, you may encounter individuals who are at different stages in their lives. Some may be overly focused on their careers, leaving little room for a meaningful relationship, while others may be transient, unwilling to commit to anything serious. These encounters, while sometimes frustrating, are part of the learning process that will ultimately prepare you for a more stable and fulfilling partnership.

Once you have navigated this transformative phase, you will find yourself better equipped to enter into a serious relationship. You will have a clearer understanding of your own needs and desires, which will enable you to identify a partner who aligns with your vision for the future. The person you are destined to find will likely embody qualities of practicality, stability, and a grounded nature—traits often associated with strong earth sign characteristics. This meaningful connection will emerge as you focus on your career and financial aspirations, creating a solid foundation for a relationship that can thrive alongside your personal and professional growth.

In summary, the journey to finding a life partner is one that requires patience, openness, and a willingness to learn from each experience. By embracing this process and remaining true to yourself, you will ultimately attract a partner who complements your life and supports your aspirations, leading to a fulfilling and lasting relationship.

Took an old Henry Danger clip I remember liking and turned it into Captain Marvel / Billy Batson content lmaooo

Henry Danger truly does feel like a show originally meant to be Captain Marvel content. Like the writer or director or someone read the original comics as a kid, remembered really liking them, then had a prophetic vision about the current modern Shazamily, then made a show about their vauge memories.

I'd love to see a James Gunn live action Captain Marvel TV show aimed at younger audiences... it would be peak to have a family shenanigans/semi low stakes magical adventure show bridging the gap between the adult oriented live action DC content and the kid/teen animated DC content.

Hey, so you've mentioned that Bollford will eventually play a small part in the fic... and that got me wondering. What exactly are their sexualities? Bill isn't technically any human gender (I don't think? Like he just says he's male becuase its easier?) could human sexualities apply to him? And becuase of that... what would it make Ford? Obviously he only ever loved Bill becuase he's a monster fucker... but what now? Is he actually plansexual? What's your take?

This is Bill's own answer about his sexuality, from the reddit Bill Cipher AMA:

Because the original comment was removed, a lot of later readers assume that Bill is talking about what his own gender is; but the original comment actually asked what his orientation is.

Since Bill's reply says "my dimension has" rather than "had," and he talks like he COULD file his paperwork if he were so inclined, I'm assuming that by "my dimension" he means the Nightmare Realm, not Euclydia. (If I tell you something about "my town," I'm talking about the town I live in, not the hometown I left a decade ago. Why assume Bill does differently?) So he's talking about trying to figure out his orientation in a context of mingling with alien genders, not his orientation within the context of his home dimension.

From his answer, I can conclude three things:

His orientation isn't whatever was considered normal for his culture (example: straight in a heteronormative culture), because if he was attracted only to The Things He Was Expected To Be Attracted To and never attracted to The Things He Wasn't Expect To Be Attracted To, that would be pretty easy for him to recognize.

His orientation isn't ace/aro, because if he was attracted to NOTHING that would be really easy for him to recognize.

His orientation isn't pan, because if he was attracted to EVERYTHING that would be really easy for him to recognize.

So he knows for a fact that there's some genders he definitely feels attraction to and he knows for a fact that there's some genders he never feels attraction to, and they're not the genders considered "normal" in his species, meaning he can't just make a sweeping "yes" or "no" declaration about his attraction to as-yet-unknown genders.

That's as much as we know about his orientation and that's as deep as I care to take it. He knows some things he likes and he knows some things he doesn't like and sometimes he runs into something new and discovers whether he likes it.

As for Ford, I personally headcanon him as somewhere on the ace/aro spectrum—whether that's ace-ace and aro-aro or something a little more demi/gray depends on my mood, the weather, the stock market, and what house Mercury is in.

Is he a "monsterfucker" in the sense of "experiences sexual attraction to monsters" or the sense of "has a kink for monstrosity and is turned on by the excitement of (sexually) exploring something new and strange"? He couldn't tell you.

Has he ever fallen in love? He doesn't think so. Could he ever fall in love? Is he going to fall "in love"? Define "love". What's the dividing line between "emotionally wrapping yourself around someone who fills you with awe and excitement and the contentment of being understood and fantasizing about the wonders he'll show you and the ways he'll impact your life" and "love"? Define the dividing line between platonic friendship and queerplatonic friendship. Define the dividing line between romantic love and queerplatonic love. What's the precise difference between a crush and an obsession. What's the precise difference between a special interest and a romantic interest. If your answer involves criteria like "the desire to kiss" it's no good. Ford's made out with his special interests. He's spent fifty years trying to figure out how to kiss moths.

As far as he can tell he's like this

Ford's a busy man of science, he's got better things to do than search for his precise microlabel*. (*Ford doesn't know what microlabels are.)

This is how he sees it. Forget about the actions and rituals people assume automatically come with "love" and "attraction" and "desire" and "relationships" and "orientations." You don't need to know what your orientation is. For example you wouldn't need to know you like women in order to Like A Woman, your body would just make you like her. An orientation is just a label used to categorize your observations of your body's instincts. So focus on your instincts rather than your label.

You find somebody. You like them. They like you. You want to do things with them. Don't waste time trying to figure out if you're "in love" by comparing the things you want against a hypothetical list of things that somebody in love would want: just pay attention to what you want to do with them.

Kiss? Go to movies? Talk about interdimensional quantum mechanics for eight hours straight? Hold hands? Sleep together? Bring them to family reunions? Play board games? Live together and jointly make decisions about finances, careers, education? Live next door to each other so you can see each other every day without having to cooperate on so many parts of your lives? Get joint filing tax breaks? Entrust each other to make medical decisions if one of you is in a coma?

These are a few of many possibilities. Maybe you want some of them but not others. Maybe you want some things that aren't listed. Maybe you hate this entire list. Whatever. Doesn't matter. Just figure out the things you want to do with them. They figure out the things they want to do with you.

Maybe you don't know whether you're "in love". Maybe one of you is "in love" and the other one isn't. It's irrelevant! The only benefit to knowing whether you're in love is that it provides a template with a list of things you probably want to do (kiss; sex; marry; babies; whatever)—but wouldn't you prefer to do the things you WANT to do rather than do the things you think you SHOULD want based on how you THINK you feel? You just figured out what you want from the person you like all by yourself, so who NEEDS "love"! You have a list!

Now you two can compare lists! You decide which things you both want to do and which things you don't. You compromise. You reach a mutual agreement on a way to conduct your relationship that will make you both happy. You have made...

... a plan.

(In the fic, I plan to continue addressing Bill's orientation by having him crack jokes about paperwork and answer questions like "do you like boys or girls?" with "sometimes"; and this chapter is probably as deep as I'll get into directly addressing Ford's orientation: "I only know there's been too many aliens for me to be straight." With Bill currently in human form, Ford sees him as "Bill (triangle) stuck inside a human puppet" rather than as "Bill (human)," so how Ford feels about Bill has no relevance to how Ford feels about human genders and vice versa.)

COFFEE SHOP CONFESSIONS, q. hughes

pairing: quinn hughes x reader

content: sitting for a cup of coffee with quinn takes a turn when unspoken thoughts from years ago finally arise, angsty, quinn might be ooc, allusions to sex but no actual smut

rain patters harshly against the window panes of the little coffee shop quinn sits inside of, calloused fingers wrapped tenderly around a warm ceramic mug. his head is ducked low and his hair is pulled back into a black yankees cap—one that he had to steal back from jack during the devils's short visit to the city.

a memory from years ago comes to the front of his mind as he peers up at you sitting across from him; glimpses of long limbs tangled in his sheets, his hands and fingers pressed into your soft skin, your hair sprawled out beneath you, and the soft sound of gasps and moans.

he doesn’t know how the two of you have got to this point, gone from lovers and best friends to acquaintances who meet once or twice in a blue moon to ‘catch up,’ an excuse quinn makes up every time to see your face one more time before he thinks you’ll inevitably refuse to.

you glance up from your own mug and smile softly at quinn, and he tries to memorize every freckle and faded acne scar on your face, so desperate to recall the way you look in the case you go from acquaintances to strangers. your cheeks are far less rounded now than when you’d first met during orientation at umich, more defined now that you’re older and out of college, and quinn is so devastatingly aware of how sharper and more defined his own face is—how fast time goes by without you by his side even though to him it feels like an eternity.

“so,” you start softly, drawing quinn from his thoughts, “what’s up?” you say it so casually that quinn’s chest aches and he swallows harshly, his throat dry and burning.

“aren’t you sick of this?” he blurts, his green-blue eyes peering at his own reflection in his coffee mug. the distorted version of himself seems to mock him, glaring at him for trying to destroy something that could be good with someone the both of them need.

confusion splits across your face, soft smile turned unsure and brows pinched together—quinn grips his mug a little tighter to keep himself from smoothing the space between them over, a habit he’d developed during your first finals week in college.

“i don’t know what you mean,” you tell him, unsure smile now gone and a small frown pulling at your lips instead. you tilt your chin down toward your mug and stare blankly into the liquid inside, losing yourself in the dark contents. “what’s there to be sick of?”

anger bubbles in quinn’s chest, not at you—never at you—but at the situation he’s put himself in. “this,” he vaguely insists, freeing his mug from his rough fingers and instead taking hold of his cap and hair. “where we act like i’m not in love with you anymore, where we pretend everything is fine and ignore that at one point we knew every detail about one another. aren’t you sick of that?”

tears prickle in your eyes, blurring your vision slightly. quinn’s right; you were so tired of pretending with him, so exhausted from going about your daily life trying to rid yourself of every thought of him only to end up back in vancouver in a desperate act to see him again.

“yeah, i am,” you whimper, breaking quinn’s heart a fraction. “i’m really tired of acting like… like i don’t pretend every other person i’ve ever been with is you.”

your admission sends shock rippling through quinn’s body, stunning him momentarily. the little reflection of himself in his coffee mug ripples away, like a little spirit finished with what it intended to do before separating from the real world.

“then don’t,” he tells you, reaching toward you to grip your soft fingers between his. he runs his thumb in circles and letters over the backs of your knuckles, the action soothing for the both of you. “i want to be yours—if you’ll let me. i won’t mess things up this time; i won’t leave you.”

your fingers weakly grip his, trembling in his hold. your guys’ drinks are long cold and the rain outside has lightened, inviting the sun back through the clouds. light streaks across quinn’s eyes, wide and hopeful, and the growing sunlight highlights the specks of brown scattered through the blue.

you inhale deeply, the sound rattly from the unshed tears and emotions deep in your chest. “what if you do, though,” you breathe. “what if i wake up and one day you’re gone, realized i’m not worth it.” insecurity plagues your mind, ebbing its way into your features, into the way you look at quinn through watery lashes.

quinn’s heart sinks deeper with your words, regret filling his entire body. “i’m sorry for leaving you,” he says, inhaling deeply as the memory of his last morning in michigan with you several years ago comes to mind. he’d left you still asleep in his bed at his parents’ house, the sheets curled tightly to your chest and smelling so heavily like him you hadn’t noticed he’d left. “it was a stupid mistake. i didn’t realize that what i had back then—with you—was the best thing to have ever happened to me. i thought… i thought playing in the nhl was the most important thing to have ever happened to me, but i know now that it was actually meeting you—loving you, being loved by you. i’m sorry.”

tears stream down your cheeks as you sob in the quiet coffee shop, fingers tightly digging into quinn’s. the way he looks at you is so earnest you have no choice but to believe him, believe that if you were to pack up your life back home and haul it to canada that quinn wouldn’t abandon you like an old toy after a week.

“please,” quinn nearly begs as he squeezes your hand even tighter, knuckles whitening against yours. “i need you in every way possible, in every universe ever. we can work things out, here in vancouver—or anywhere. i’d drop anything, everything, for you. i promise—i swear.”

quinn’s throat bobs as he watches you intently, waiting for a response. you nod your head furiously, nose scrunched up as you choke on a sob. you cover your mouth with the back of your free hand, still nodding.

“okay,” you rasp against your hand, tears no longer streaming down your face. “i believe you. we can work this out together. i believe you.”

quinn ducks his head graciously, reaching across to cup your hand with both of his. his palms easily envelop yours, tightly wrapped around it as if you’ll take your words back and walk away from him forever.

“thank you,” he whispers, his lips nearly brushing the table. “thank you.”

I have begun watching Andor; my first Star Wars media after the the Rise of Skywalker burned all possible hope and legacy the series could ever have. It is pretty good! Finished Season 1, am a few episodes into Season 2 so far - though as usual my thoughts lean towards the complain-y side, don't let that bias you:

Andor at its best is portraying the Empire "in transition", moving towards greater levels of centralization and authoritarianism but no longer at the breakneck pace of coups and gigantic wars. Having say private military contractors filling enforcement gaps, and then being annexed by central authority as the knee-jerk response to the inevitable failures that accrue, causing the center to be overburdened? Very kino stuff. We need more stories about bureaucracy and Andor, while not committed to the bit, at least flirts heavily with it.

What makes the above work is the hard commitment to "realism", and that only works because the show is harshly pretending so much of Star Wars doesn't exist. All these grubby human stormtroopers and officers, making mistakes, defecting, and so on? Why aren't you using, oh I don't know, the clone army you made in the prequels bred for loyalty? I know you have an answer for that in one of your infinite spinoffs, but the answer is stupid and half-baked. Even if you couldn't make everyone a clone, you would still be using the clones, and robot soldiers, and force-sensitive ninja warriors, and all that stuff. Same with a dozen other things - the show will hand-waive away why they are using slave prison labor over droids with "droids are more expensive" but bro - I have seen Star Wars droids, they cost as much as a trash bin because they are sometimes literally trash bins. This is the right decision, to be clear! Just very funny.

Honestly Andor really throws into relief the, uh, arc of both Star Wars & sci fi more broadly? The original films are very "classic adventure", for all audiences - the sci fi elements are aesthetic, the magic elements are loose and mystical, the plot is a Hero's Journey in war. As the franchise grew in the 1980's, it made "1980's content" for nerd audiences at the time - pulpy, action-oriented, and with a lot of "technobabble plots". Oh the Emperor has a clone machine! Oh now we have the Sun Crusher, it crushes suns! This alien species can drink luck somehow! Stuff like this is the bread-and-butter of the EU, and a lot of the ~vibe~ if not focus of the prequels. Time marched on, Star Wars broadened while sci-fi declined, and these stories lost their appeal alongside the audience for Star Wars fully morphing into an "every generation" affair with many older adults wanting content. Andor is of course the answer to that demand, a fully gritty political drama with an entirely-human main cast. But it sits in the same universe as Jar Jar Binks and you can't really escape that.

While the median "expression of political hatred for the Empire" is via a longing for democracy & political freedom, it is very cute to me how "70's liberalism" a lot of the more concrete complaints are coded? There are a lot of vibes of central authority is bad, localism should rule the day, let each unitary planet make its own decisions. The successor government is gonna have a TON of NIMBYs opposed export-focused mining projects on its hands, I do not envy them that. #TeamStripMineGhorman

Why does the galaxy have all these human indigenous tribes all over the place? Did humans evolve independently on all these planets? Presumably these humans are settlers, which means they would have the kind of culture an expansionist, space-faring, scientific civilization would have, right? Awful lot of people crash-landed and lost all their digital books it seems.

Okay, an actual, real complaint now: what is the empire currently fighting? I know that fascist regimes "invent" security crises to justify their authoritarian control, but, well, they kind of don't actually do that whole-cloth, 1984 isn't a history book. It typically is tied to real events, even ones of their own making. If Franco's Spain wanted to allocate 25% of GDP to massive military projects, it was gonna need a reason. And all the senators, who are not imperial propaganda pieces, seem to accept the need for expansive military preparations. So what enemy are these for, exactly? You might say "the rebellion, duh", but that actually doesn't track - for one at the beginning of the show they are explicitly small fry, that is the entire plot. And they are also at this point entirely insurgency-based - not something building more Imperial Star Destroyers really helps you address. The Empire-as-portrayed acts like it has peer adversaries somewhere? It seems like it is conquering planets (and in the lore I think it is). But we never see any of this, it is never actually mentioned. Add Andor to the list of hundreds of stories that finds itself in need of a scene of a dozen people sitting around a big map displaying current strategic threats, priorities, and status-quo force deployments, but is too much of a coward to do it.

*Extremely* cute that apparently the galactic financial system still heavily relies on physical currency. This admittedly isn't a crazy anachronism, I can see how communicating digital exchanges across space might be difficult (ofc Star Wars is completely inconsistent along these metrics but w/e). Someone has gotta tell the Emperor about the blockchain...

Cassian is so much hotter with a beard, he needs to own that and stop all this shaving nonsense he does on and off, get your priorities straight. Bix meanwhile is hotter with ___; it is literally impossible for Bix not to be hot in any context and boy does this show try to disprove that! Fails every time.

2025: #10 take care of your mind

your brain is the most powerful tool you will ever own. YOUR BRAIN IS MORE POWERFUL THAN UR PHONE, LAPTOP ... . Yet how many of us actually take care of it? How many of us think twice about what we feed it, how we use it, or how we let it rest? u don’t rise to the level of your dreams you fall to the level of your mind. And if your mind isn’t sharp, disciplined, and protected, you’re setting yourself up for failure.

✒️..You’re probably wondering: “What does it mean to take care of my brain?” It’s simple but not easy. First, let’s talk about what you’re consuming EEEEVRY single thing you watch, listen to or read is planting seeds in your mind. Are you planting weeds or flowers? Scroll endlessly on social media, filling your brain with nonsense, comparison, and negativity—guess what? You’re planting weeds, and they will grow. Your thoughts become your beliefs, and your beliefs become your actions.

THE TRUTH IS you are what you allow into your mind. If you keep surrounding yourself with negativity, if you keep replaying the same self-doubt, if you keep absorbing content that doesn’t serve you don’t be surprised when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious. You’re not broken you’re just fueling yourself with the wrong things.

"So, what do you do?"

1. Detox your mind. Cut out the noise. Start filtering what you consume. Unfollow accounts that drain your energy. Stop watching content that makes you feel small. And for the love of everything pookie stop engaging in drama—it’s not worth the space it takes up in your head.

2. Feed your brain the right fuel. Read books that challenge you. Listen to podcasts that inspire you. Surround yourself with people who uplift you. And no, this isn’t just some feel-good advice it’s about wiring ur brain for growth. The more you surround yourself with knowledge, positivity, and action-oriented energy, the more your brain starts working for you instead of against you.

3. Train your focus. Your brain is a muscle. If you don’t train it, it gets lazy. Meditation isn’t just for monks it’s for anyone who wants to build laser-like focus. Start small—two minutes a day. Sit down, breathe, and let your mind rest. Because a rested brain is a powerful brain.

4. Protect your energy it mean it’s about who you let into your space. People can either fuel your fire or extinguish it. If someone in your life constantly drags you down, you need to set boundaries. Your mental energy is sacred. Guard it fiercely.

🪧-FACT BOX !

『When you kick unhealthy habits to the curb, your brain actually starts to thrive! Imagine cutting out constant stress it’s like a weight lifted off your mind, lowering cortisol levels and giving your memory and learning a boost. Eating betteeeeer and healthier cuz those omega-3s and antioxidants help reduce brain fog while also cranking up serotonin and dopamine, the feel-good chemicals that keep you motivated and happy. Regular exercise is like a power-up for your brain, releasing endorphins and encouraging the growth of new neurons. It’s like giving your mind a fresh start every day (try to wake up early and do any type of exercise and u will see how well ur day will roll) Sleep is another secret weapon—by getting enough (6-7 or even 8 )you’re helping your brain detox and organize memories, keeping everything sharp. And let’s not forget about avoiding things like alcohol and drugs—this keeps your brain’s reward system in check and prevents it from burning out or killing you lmaooo .. All these changes together supercharge your brain, boosting focus, creativity, and mental strength. Your brain will thank you!』

you make Aizen furious

.and he makes you regret it. +18 c.w.: mentioning of violence, explicit sex, Aizen x female reader, Aizen x wife. Aizen is already a content warning of his own.

He was fucking furious with you.

Not angry, not annoyed—furious.

After that little stunt you pulled, defying a direct order from your captain, who explicitly forbade you from continuing the investigation alone, without your team, the last thing Aizen wanted was to look at your face. Especially after you arrested five low-level dealers under his command.

Maybe it was his own fault, for marrying the only woman who didn’t fall for his manipulative games and power plays. The only one who truly challenged him.

When you got married, you knew Aizen wasn’t a good man. You knew about the “good cop” persona he wore to cover his hidden agenda, even if it was supposedly for the “greater good,” as he liked to say.

Smuggling medicine and resources into impoverished regions was, after all, a noble goal—even if pharmaceutical corporations and the government didn’t see it any differently from international drug smuggling. Yes, noble. It would’ve been just that, if he weren’t also manipulative, sadistic, and so results-driven that he’d eliminate anyone in his way. I mean, truly eliminate them.

But you were young, in love, and had just joined the Force to be part of the change from the inside. Now, at 28, you were in a marriage to a 42-year-old man you barely saw—except during morning briefings in the precinct’s conference room, and the occasional mission orientation.

“It doesn’t concern me if they have other… businesses, besides mine. What matters is that they get the job done.", he said.

His arrogance killed you.

Still, you felt… bad? You’d never been the overly hypocritical or self-righteous type, and there was a certain logic to Aizen’s actions and ideals, even if sometimes he scared the shit out of you, with that crooked smile and his deep, cold voice. Oh, his voice…

You still remember what it was like hearing his voice for the first time, as he adjusted his glasses in that tightly fitted, buttoned-up shirt, the black leather shoulder holster tracing the lines of his chest and shoulders. The green tea scent in the air as he read the latest reports with a deep, calm tone.

You were instantly drawn to him. And, you weren’t proud to admit it: when he revealed himself, his true nature… that’s when you were sold. It didn’t take long, after that, for you to fall deeply in love.

At the beginning, Aizen worshiped you.

He made you feel things you thought were never possible. He was your first, after all, and that awakened something wild, primal in him.

You were his. His property.

To touch.

To look at.

To taste.

And his alone.

However, as your position in the Force began to rise, the inevitable conflict of interests—and his very demanding side-business—drove you apart. You fought more, spent more time without seeing each other, or even speaking at all. As the fights grew more frequent, the sex became less and less.

He had never yelled at you, let alone laid a finger on you. And he couldn't care less about a bunch of low-level dealers, as they didn’t know the first thing about who was truly running the whole operation—if it weren’t for the consequences from the chasing.

A bullet wound on your waist and a few bandages wrapped around your wrists and ankles were apparently enough for him to be fuming, and all that calm, superiority, and arrogance vanished in an instant.

Oh, and this time… this time, he yelled.

As he drove you home, you stared out at the city lights illuminating the night through the car’s rain-speckled window.

He moved quickly, weaving dangerously through traffic, his eyes darkened with anger, and you were pretending not to be scared by the speed.

You turned your head to look at him, and quickly realized your mistake.

His voice thundered in the car, raw and sharp.

“How could you be so irresponsible?!”

“Do you know what your recklessness will cost me? Look at the state of you!”

“You could’ve gotten yourself killed, and for what?!”

But all you could focus on… was him.

That deep cobalt-blue shirt clung to his frame, sleeves pushed up just enough to expose veiny forearms gripping the wheel like he was trying to crush it. The open collar gave you a glimpse of skin, and the way his Adam’s apple bobbed with every furious word was maddeningly distracting.

Your gaze drifted lower. Tailored black slacks, impossibly crisp, every crease sharp like a blade. The black 9mm gleaming cold in its holster, snug against his side.

But then… his face. God, his face.

The flush of anger painted his cheeks and brow in shades of red, golden eyes blazing under tense, furrowed brows. His jaw clenched with restrained fury. And that hair, so perfectly slicked back, now defied him too, with a single strand falling across his gaze like a challenge.

He looked like a storm in human form.

The fact that you found him more beautiful like this, unhinged, furious, wild, said more about you than any insult he could throw your way.

Aizen aged like fine wine, and you noticed. So did every woman around him.

You had gone other long periods without sex. It wasn’t new and, honestly, it was kind of expected. But this one, already lasting a few months, was different. You didn’t notice him looking at you so much anymore.

And now, watching him in the driver's seat, his posture perfect, his presence commanding, every line of his body carved by control and power… you felt it.

Insecurity. For the very first time.

The way women looked at him lately… How they leaned in when they spoke to him. How they laughed just a little too long. How his eyes would linger… just a second too much.

Your throat tightened.

Was he finding satisfaction elsewhere? Giving in to his needs with someone softer, more obedient, less complicated? I mean, you knew how to be difficult.

The thought burned more than you'd ever admit.

So, you too felt angry, and turned your head once more to the window, answering his accusations sharply.

“If you’re so angry about your fucking little employers, then hop off at the next corner and recruit some more addicts to do your dirty job.”

Yep, the silence that followed your words made you instantly regret them. Then, his voice said, calmly:

“Excuse me?”

"You heard me. At least one of us doesn’t want to live like a fucking hypocrite."

"Watch your damn tone when you're speaking to me."

"Fuck you, Sōsuke. I made a mistake! I wasn’t trying to go after your guys. Still, it serves you right. I’m still a cop, ya know?"

And then Aizen did something you never thought you’d witness.

With his lips pressed into a tight, silent line, he moved, sudden and violent, his fist slamming into the steering wheel with a sound like a gunshot, setting off the horn. You jumped, your whole body trembling in your seat as a shiver ran down your spine. Now you were really scared.

His voice came low, but it seethed with something far more dangerous than shouting.

"Is that what you think of me? That this…" he gestured vaguely, “…is about a few meaningless arrests?"

“What else? Just… leave me alone. I understand how much my death would be an inconvenience to you. Don’t worry, I’m gonna stay the hell away from you as well, Captain.”

Now, he looked at you, although you couldn’t see it. His gaze landing on you cold and mean.

Your words had silenced him.

And somehow, that silence shook you more than if he had yelled back, more than any cruel retort he could’ve thrown.

By the time you arrived at your shared penthouse, the silence had only grown more hostile. From the garage, to the chrome elevator, to the spacious, modern living room, neither of you dared to speak a single word.

He stormed off toward his room, footsteps heavy and deliberate, echoing through the hall like distant thunder. Then came the slam of his door.

Now, alone in your suite, the soft lighting against your skin, you stared at your reflection in the mirror.

The bandages. The bruises. The dried blood in the creases of your skin.

Yeah, maybe you had been reckless. But it didn’t add up. If he wasn’t worried about the arrests, or his operation, what was it, then?

After a shower that burned against every open wound, you dried off in silence, and began your nightly routine - creams, perfume, serums. Then, the thought hit you.

Could it be that Sōsuke, your husband, was actually worried about you?

“No.”, you quickly dismissed that thought.

“Or could it?”, now, you were smiling, like an idiot teenage girl.

You sat at the recamier in the middle of your walk-in closet, pondering, your hair damp, your skin tingling from the sting of healing cuts beneath layers of moisturizer and self-deceit. Yes, you were reckless. And defying, and difficult. You were all those things. But Aizen knew it from the start: you’d never be a perfect little wifey, silent and obedient. Much less a complacent subordinate. That was precisely why he liked you in the first place.

So maybe… just maybe… you owed him an apology.

This, and the fact that you haven’t got laid in months. Fuck. Why did he have to look so good today?

And that brings you here. Standing in front of the closed door to your husband’s suite, the one you haven’t been in for a very long time.

Barefoot, you stared at your toes—painted in that deep, wine-red he liked so much. Exactly the way he liked them.

Your hands trembled, hovering just inches from the wood, unable to knock.

On your body, delicate white lace hugged every curve. A garter belt around your thighs, and black floral embroidery traced across the sheer fabric, outlining your nipples like an invitation whispered against his skin.

That lingerie. The one he could never take his eyes off of. The one he insisted on fucking you in, slowly, without damaging a single thread, even if it was a long time ago.

What better apology than this, no?

Finally, you knocked. With a soft voice, you asked:

“Sōsuke…?”

“Go back to your fucking bed.”, he answered, angrily, speaking to you in a way he never did before.

Fucking bastard. You almost turned around. But your heart, and the fact that you spent the last hour shaving, brushing your hair, choosing lingerie and chugging liquid courage, made you stay. So, in a sweet tone, so uncharacteristic of yourself, you tried again, head against the door.

“Sōsuke, my love… Please let me in.”

He turned silent for a second, and you heard the sheets move against the mattress, a sudden shift, the sound of him sitting up quickly.

“Come in.”

As you opened the door, you saw Aizen sitting straight at the edge of his king-sized bed, deep green sheets perfectly folded. His scent, manly, refreshing, took over your nostrils. He still had his clothes and holster on, and his badge, alongside his gun, were sitting in the nightstand.

Taking his glasses off, you saw his eyes widen, scanning every inch of your body. His parted lips let out a quiet breath, like the air had been knocked from his lungs.

Aizen's hair was no longer perfect, with messy strands falling across his forehead. And his tone immediately changed, almost gagging.

“Sweetheart… what is this?”

“I thought…”, you walked in closer, slowly, still feeling the room, “we should start over…”, and closer, “… I hate how we left things.”

“We?”, he smiled, cocky, as he crossed his legs with infuriating confidence, and bent a finger, calling you closer.

“Yes, my husband. We. I don’t understand what made you so furious in the first place.”

Your voice was calm now. Gentle, almost teasing.

You were one breath away from him, standing between his legs, arms loosely wrapped around his shoulders.

He didn’t respond right away. Instead, he leaned in, slowly, deliberately, pressing his face into your chest, nuzzling against the soft skin and the delicate white and black lace that framed your breasts.

His hands remained still, but his breath… It deepened, warm and heavy against your skin.

“Sweetheart… look at yourself.” His voice was low, whispered.

He touched your wrists, softly, afraid that he would hurt you more.

Then, he moved the tip of his fingers to the bullet wound in your waist, looking at you with cold sharp eyes. “How else should I react, imaging those fuckers touching my precious queen?”

You hold his cheeks, staring straight into his yellowy eyes.

“You haven’t touched me or looked at me in months. How should I know you were actually worried about me?”

“Oh. So this is what this is about.” He smiled, that same smile that used to send shivers down your spine. “You’re upset because I’ve been neglecting your demanding little pussy?”

“Sōsuke… don’t talk like that.”

“You’re my wife. I’ll talk to you as I please. Come here.”, he signaled for you to sit in his lap - which you did, right away, arms still around his neck.

“I won’t apologize for doing my job, Sōsuke.” You say, seriously.

“Then, maybe, I should teach you a few manners. I have been busy, yes… But that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten how you like to be treated.”

Aizen lifted you effortlessly with one arm, holding you tightly as you clung to his shoulders.

He walked around the bed with slow, measured steps, then laid you down gently across it, perpendicular to the pillows, like you were something precious he still intended to own completely.

His eyes traveled over your body, dark and intense, lingering on your breasts, perfectly framed by the lace that always drove him mad.

Then he spoke, voice rough and low.

"Sweetheart, are you sure? I’m still furious. Today was a goddamn disaster. And you’re really hurt."

“I need you, hubby. So much.” You smile, biting your lower lip, teasing him, as you spread your legs slowly.

Aizen licked his upper lip, groaning, the sight of your already wet pussy covered in little black flowers was more than enough to almost make him lose control. Almost. He still had one lesson to teach you.

He didn’t kiss you, not at first.

Instead, he pushed your tights closer to the edge of the bed, kneeling on the floor with your legs above his shoulder. In a polite manner, he kissed your pussy, pulling your panties to the side with his finger.

Fuck, how much you missed him eating you out.

His tongue started slow and steady between your folds, tasting the wet liquid that came out of your pussy just by hearing the mere sound of his demanding voice.

Then, he alternated between his tongue’s soft, circular motions and lightly sucking your clit, without taking his eyes off of your trembling body, as his hand gripped your breasts firmly.

You could barely contain the quiet sounds escaping your lips, the low voiced moaning accompanied by a few “fucks” that you’d occasionally throw.

But it was only when Aizen slid his two fingers inside your wet, tight pussy, with slow and torturous movements, that you realized: all of that was intentional. He wanted to test your limits, to hear you beg for more.

And you knew you wanted to.

“Hubby… please… do it faster.”

“Faster, eh? Is this not enough to satisfy you?”, he said, smiling.

“No… I need more.”

“Okay, my queen. I’ll give you more.”

Aizen drank the wetness of your pussy like he was thirsty. Liking, fingering, sucking you dry, while he’d also bite your inner thighs… It was maddening. You squirmed around his tongue when he laid it flat on your clit, screaming, begging.

“Beg for it. Tell me what this greedy little pussy wants.”

“Oh God, yes! Please, please don’t stop! I’m gonna cum, hubby… please make me cum!”

He kept it going, harder, faster, warmer, until…

He stopped.

Holding your own boobs, you looked down to the sight of his sloppy face smiling at you maliciously.

“Wh-what? Sōsuke…”

You were trembling, panting. That fucker.

“You’ll cum when I say you can.” He stood up, cleaning his mouth as he was licking his fingers. Then, as tears ran down your cheeks, you saw him unzipping his pants, taking off his black leather belt.

He wasn’t about to get naked, no. All the vulnerability belonged to you.

“It’s your fault, really. Coming here, unannounced, dressed like a whore.” Stroking his cock, he kept humiliating you, as you stood over your elbows, mouth opened and breathing heavily. “Really thought I was about to let you go with a warning, yeah?”

So, you got it. This was his own personal way of punishing you for disobeying his orders.

Before he could reach you again, you landed your feet on his chest, looking at his large, veiny and pink cock in his hand.

“How bad are you mad at me?”

Aizen let out a dry laugh, low and sharp.

“You don’t want to know.”

You shifted, rising to your knees on the bed, hands clasped in front of you in a way that pressed your chest together, making your breasts stand out, almost slipping out of your bra.

A small smile played at your lips as you tilted your head.

“Then show me.” you whispered. Would it kill you to play along to his fantasies every once in a while? “Please, daddy… punish me…”

His eyes darkened. At that moment, something took over Aizen. You saw the tip of his cock dripping pre cum, as his smile disappeared. You had just hit a spot, and he was about to make you sorry. Just like that, the last thread of his restraint snapped.

He pushed you, violently, back to bed, and put himself above you with wild speed. You felt Aizen’s dick sliding inside of you, as he placed his hand on your back, lifting your waist up, so he could fuck you even deeper. Had you not been this wet, it would’ve ripped you apart.

You screamed in pleasure, your eyes rolled all the way to the back of your head, as you arched your whole back. He hugged your thighs, fucking you with deep and strong thrusts, as his thumb circled around your clit, making you lose every sense of yourself.

“Does it feel good, my wife?”

But you couldn’t answer. Your moans were louder than your words, and your trembling body prevented anything but screams from coming out of your mouth. The sharp pain of the bleeding hole in your waist was nothing compared to the pleasure you were feeling.

“Fuck, I’ve forgotten how good this pussy feels around my cock.”

“If you can… speak… than you can fuck me harder.”

“Is that so?”

Oh, you were in for a treat. Aizen ripped the laced panties off of you, leaving marks in your body. Then, he did the same to your bra, tearing down the pair he loved the most. He wanted to see your boobs moving as he was about to fuck your brains out.

You tried to look away, close your eyes. But he held your cheeks firmly with just one hand, forcing you to look straight at him. After that, Aizen pinned your thighs against the bed, alongside your bouncy breasts, spreading your pussy as much as he could, moving his waist back and forth, and making circular movements.

He spat on you, angrily. In 5 years of marriage, you’d never seen him like this. His thrusting was uncontrolled, fiery, and he, too, was rolling his eyes.

“One more word from you, I fucking dare you.”

More breathily screams from you. The neighbors could go fuck themselves.

Aizen was moaning, now right by your ear, and his voice kept making you wetter, crazier.

“Please, daddy…”

“Yes… yes…?”

“Please let me cum…”

He finally kissed you. As you two came together, him filling you up to the brim with his seed, his tongue danced in your mouth, claiming it as his’. He laid on top of you, but you didn’t mind the weight.

It was all surreal, how much you had missed Sōsuke. And he missed you too, in his twisted way.

So, he hugged you, burying his face in your neck, still dressed, the leather holster pressing against your skin. Took you long enough, but you finally minded the stingy pain on your waist. As you looked down, so did he, promptly helping you change your bandages.

“I’m sorry, my love. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“Yes, you did…” you smiled.

“Yes. I did.” He found it crazy how you, of all people, accepted all the parts of him he had to conceal.

Some time later, you slipped out of bed, intending to return to your own room, a habit you'd picked up over the years.

But Aizen caught your arm, firm and unwavering.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

“To my room?”

“No. No. You’re never spending another night away from me.”

He knew he should apologize for the distance, for the neglect. He knew he owed you an explanation, a reason for the worry, for his anger.

But not tonight.

Tonight, all he could bring himself to do was hold you close and fall asleep in his wife’s arms.

“I’ll kill every single bastard that dared lay a finger on you.”

Pride and Joy (Mr. Puzzles/Bi! Female! Reader)

───── ⋆ ⋅ ⋆ ⋅ ☆ ⋅ ⋆ ⋅ ⋆ ─────

After a conversation about sexual orientation, you ask Mr. Puzzles a bit of a heavy question about himself and realizations ensue.

Happy Pride Month!! I usually try to keep my content as reader neutral as possible (I don't like to assume things that the reader might not be!) but this is more self-indulgent than usual and I hope you forgive me for that! To celebrate this month, why don't I hit my f/o with the bisexual beam? Hope you enjoy!

"… Puzzles, no offense, like— at all, but do you think maybe you're… gay?"

The TV host sputters in surprise, "I— excuse you?"

"Again, no offense. But to me it kinda sounds like you… haven't really thought about it."

The TV grows silent, no doubt a frown taking the place of his smile. For once—instead of snapping back and waving away such a silly statement—he actually gives it a thought. A sparingly rare one.

He looks away with a nervous hum, shoulders slumping as you walk along the sidewalk. You both keep a slow pace, trying to refrain from tripping as you walk and keep a conversation that is surprisingly much more serious than you anticipated to have.

The leaves of the trees rustle and provide you shadow for your evening walk with your boyfriend, a walk you offered to have as a casual little date. You thought you could stop by stores to shop, or a cafe to sit down, but at the moment— your conversation turned into this. Identity questions, personal preferences, things to better know each other.

But maybe this one was a bit too far...

He was very open about his upbringing, sure, but it sounded like even he didn't know what he liked in people. You suppose that a life like that didn't have much room to explore things about ones self. Let alone explore partner preferences. Hell— you would say you're very lucky to even have had a chance to date him.

Regardless...

You let him gather his thoughts, silently waiting for his response. No use in rushing these type of things, after all. They take time. Otherwise it would be messy for both of you.

Puzzles turns back to the ground below, and like you guessed— with a nervous expression on his screen.

"It's… complicated. I've seen shows about it, but ah… they've never really spoken to me as such. Perhaps some actions… and some… other things— tsk— but! Hah! I mean! Only recently I've been shown the media I consume is not always true to the actual thing so what do I know!?" He sarcastically and painfully exclaims, a view that got shattered to him when you became friends, yet one he's starting to grow out of. He's aware it's for his greater good, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt him still. To be lied to. To know your years of comfort were a lie.

He huffs angrily as he turns away again, shaking his head before glancing back at you.

"Am I..?"

"Are you? Only you can know that for sure, you might know the answer to that already..! You just… haven't realized it yet."

"…"

He grows silent again, nervously fidgeting with the cloth of his gloves.

"Then… maybe?" He shrugs. "I feel… something, yes. But— but I like you too..! As well… If I am— what would that mean for you? For us?" The host frowns, growing even more nervous at the thought of something happening to his first ever real relationship.

"I don't want to let you go just for this!" He waves his hands in front of him, exasperatedly motioning to your situation. You catch one of his arms, hooking it together with your own as you try to gently ground him.

"Hey—! Hey..! No, nothing has to happen to us! You can like both, you know?"

He takes a pause, looking at you as if you just told him the most confusing riddle ever known to man.

"Huh?"

"Yeah! I like both! I like boys and girls. I uh— have a preference for men but I still like pretty girls." You rub the back of your neck, smiling sheepishly at him.

"… Oh."

"Oh…"

The faintest of heartbeats beeps across his screen, tainting it with a light rose color as the line bounces where his cheeks would be.

"Huh… That…" he looks down at the ground with furrowed eyebrows, then looks back up at the horizon, "fits."

"Yeah?"

"Yes… Only— that's not the term, is it?"

"Ah, no. We're bisexual. You and I."

"You and I… Yes… Yes! I like that!" Puzzles beams happily, smiling wide at you as he squeezes your hooked arms.

"I like that very much."
