Still feeling a bit down about Izzy's death, but I wanted to say thank you to everybody who has been posting happy Izzy/Con O'neill pics/videos, that helps. I still can't read fix-its without tearing up again, but keep writing those fics, wonderful people, I will read them eventually and will thank you then again.
As for people still discussing it, I will say it again: I don't care if the story arc makes sense or not, and David Jenkins had all the right to write the ending he thought was better, BUT I have all the right to not like it. I thought my favourite character was safe because I was watching a muppet show, a comedy where everybody was going to be happy and I was going to laugh and have a good time. I was wrong, obviously.
The problem is that now I'm worried about WWDITS and even Good Omens. I will have to keep reminding myself not to trust the writers (sorry, Mr Gaiman, but apparently you can't trust anybody these days), simply to avoid another nasty surprise.

She’s alive, she’s really alive!
And I’m extra happy ‘cause I was sure that Yatsume (okay, Ouga, but I kind of prefer calling her Yatsume) would die, but she actually came out okay! Yes, I know she was the bad one all along, but I ended up pitying her, so yeah... and I didn’t even doubt her of anything before seeing the preview of this episode; I thought the shady one was Shamo.
I really want to see this (plus the return of the others too), but I’m not gonna hold my breath; Naruto and Naruto Shippuuden had their fair share of promising filler characters that we never saw again once their arcs were over, so I fear this one might not be any different.
Also, I definitely gotta re-watch this arc again at some point!

You know, it would be amazing if Hollywood learned the right lesson from the success of Nimona. Something like "Hey, maybe don't throw out a nearly done movie as a tax write off" or "people want queer stories" or even "don't be afraid to take some storytelling risks and be original" but you just know they're going to come away with some absolutely batshit takeaway like, "next time delete all the evidence and burn it to the ground so the gays can't make us look bad!"

Anyway. Bi and Mspec Lesbians aren't a hotly "debated" topic or even new to queer culture, it's just the newest thing that bullies who REALLY want to be homophobic and even racist use to justify harassing gay people they don't like.
It's the thinnest possible veneer of progressive language wrapped around TERF and reactionary rhetoric so that they can feel righteous for forming an angry mob against vulnerable targets. If you're gullible enough to fall for the newest wave of bigotry within the queer community, and turn on your allies because they're "confusing" or "invading your spaces," the SAME way they turned on bi/pan labels, trans people, xenogenders, neopronouns, and aroace people before this, then get lost.

what do you mean youre technically a detransitioner cause of terf bullshit?
it's a v long story but i detransitioned for a couple of years when i was 16/17, for multiple reasons but mostly because i fell into the blaire white/kalvin garrah chamber of "you have to be This way to be trans otherwise you're not real".
i was already Deeply insecure about myself and my 'passing' and i was led to believe that i couldn't want to wear makeup or skirts, and i couldn't choose not to have bottom surgery, and i couldn't do anything but bind for 12+ hours a day to the point that my ribcage is still misshapen. basically i thought that if i wasn't suffering enough doing 'feminine' things, i couldn't really be trans, so i should just go back to being a girl and suck it up.
the terf bullshit is because i'd seen a lot of terfs/detransitioners talking about the 'dangers' of testosterone and how it would turn me into a horrible ugly evil monster and how there was nothing worse than wanting to be a man. which combined with 'you need to fully medically transition to be valid at all' creates some very dangerous and upsetting feelings to cope with.
it also came from trying really hard to put myself in a little box before i realised that my sexuality/gender are very fluid and it's FINE for me not to have a label and just do whatever i want. when i was 19 or so i went back to using they/them (and eventually he/him) and changed my name again because even though i like doing 'feminine' things, i don't want to be seen as a woman.
tldr: i was conditioned by transphobic/terf rhetorics to think that i was being trans the 'wrong' way so i couldn't be trans at all, so i believed i must actually be a girl if i still wanted to do 'feminine' things. nowadays i am a transmasc who does feminine things because i don't give two shits about what any transmed prick thinks of me anymore.
