I realized today just how important good representation is because after being forced out of the closet and told i will live a lonely miserable life by my birthgivers, I read some malec posts and book pages and I already feel better.

Seeing these two characters finding home in one another and making a loving family is the most comforting thing for my baby lesbian self who is conditioned to think i will die alone bcs of my sexuality.

feeling like everyone who clocked me as a dyke when i was a kid was jus a lesbophobe (by this i mean they saw me subscribing 2 traditionally dykeish behavior & started mistreating me bc of it. but bc ive only ever had love & admiration 4 lesbians i couldn’t recognize the dykeish behavior, i was jus doin what made me comfy.) bc i thought i was normal !! which is why it wasn’t a big deal 2 me that i only wanted 2 swear sports bras & boxers n not shave and get an undercut and an eyebrow piercing like 😭

It's so wild to me that as a community we're still so hostile to multigender and genderfluid people existing in gay and lesbian spaces.

You...are aware that people who are both men and women are allowed to be gay, right? And lesbian? Their other genders doesn't cancel their connection to womanhood, or manhood, or whatever else they id with. They are allowed to be gay despite their fem-alignment, and they are allowed to be lesbian despite their masc-alignment.

It comes from these weird online spaces that the standard to be gay or lesbian is to be a "non-woman" or a "non-man," which is inherently transmultiphobic and...extremely ahistorical. And completely misunderstands nonbinary identity. So if you're both then you just don't belong anywhere I suppose.

#they treat these people as abnormal when really shoving anyone into categories of non-women and non-men is fucking #completely out of touch with how identity works #like i saw a demiboy lesbian flag and the comments are just FILLED with teenage queers getting so mad for no reason #saying shit like im in your walls or your father left you or whatever #please this is so CHILDISH grow UP #multigender #genderfluid #gay #lesbian #lesboy #turigirl #queer #lgbtq #just a he/they transmasc nonbinary boydyke lesbian VERY tired of this nonsense #actually erasure of multigender experience and that one of our genders will cancel out the other #made me very resistant to the fact that i may still be connected to feminity and girlhood #even though i am undoubtedly am #transmultiphobia

once again thinking about

anthy watching akio lose, his castle and his illusion of being a prince crashing and throwing herself in front of him VS anthy watching akio lose, his castle and his illusion of being a prince crashing and being thrown in front of him.

sacrificing yourself vs being used and sacrificed.

#utena spoilers #when u love someone so much u sacrifice for them and they turn around go “ok :) now do that forever. i'll never grow up&take responsibility #revolutionary girl utena #akio and anthy #me when i'm normal and not flashbacking to the worst moment of my life (watching someone I love lose)#once again thinking about a utena rewatch #what a brother complex does to a mf #yay lesbians and stuff but also brother complex incest i love them #do i need to spoiler tag utena??

Heartache

(my piece for NovaMali's "Classics but Make it Gay 3" ! Inspired by illuminated Bibles Moralisées from the 1200s/1300s and their depictions of same-sex love - couples enlacing under the watchful eye of protective demons. A highly emotional piece for me...

If you're interested in learning more about it, you can snatch the zine over on NovaMali's shop !! I highly recommend it, it's an absolutely gorgeous book ! : https://www.novaandmali.com/shop)

#traditional art #classics but make it gay #queer art #pride month #lesbian art #my art #i have lots of thoughts about growing up/living your life with very limited visions of what queer love feels like !!!!!!

Nana x "Where is My Place in the World? Early Shōjo Manga Portrayals of Lesbianism" by Fujimoto Yukari (tr. Lucy Fraser)

#augh #nana #upl #queue #when I first read this article I thought of them tbh like...they both come up against the ideas here in their own ways #hachi trying to moor herself & achieve maturity by pursuing relationships with men #nana wrestling with how she feels she can't succeed if she's tied to ren/managing feelings abt wanting to keep hachi close #a future with each other is not an option - both in-text and in a genre/meta sense - bc there are no men in that roadmap #nana feels so self aware in this way. like especially with hachi: by all external measures she 'grows up' - but it leaves her isolated #& still yearning for that connection she had with nana...but it's not possible within the confines of their stories and the genre #anyway i'm aware there's lesbians in shojo but the point of the article is examining why this is an anomaly. definitely recommend reading!

“alas!” cried the lion. “now i know that those in love truly cannot help but take leave of their senses!”

#allura.jpeg #romantic shots <3 #honestly i think one of the reasons i have such intrinsic value for morals and ethics is because i obsessively used to read aesop’s fables #when i was little. my parents said i came out the womb like that but i like to think there has always been more reason. i got so much from #both of my parents and they’re both the type to be of justice and balance and integrity.#they thought i’d grow up to be like— a force of change in the world or a philosopher or a renowned author. and let me tell you— the weight #of expectations kills me sometimes. but i do think maybe one day i’ll say something worth repeating and that will be legacy enough <3 #this is an aesop quote if that wasn’t obvious by my rambling lmfao #lesbian

please know that anytime I see you complain about toxic sapphic ships I will make them even more toxic. I want them covered in each other's blood and snarling. I want them filled with rage and hate, seconds away from killing the other. Give me the most toxic fucked up women that make each other worse.

#wolfwren #sabine wren #shin hati #ahsoka #i love soft wholesome ships too so don't get me wrong #but fiction is a sandbox for us to play with complex emotions and relationships #it doesn't have to be watered down or sanitized #it's allowed to be fucked up #please grow up #star wars lesbians #sapphic star wars #star wars wlw

Probably isn't what you expected (also sorry for responding so late lol)

But anyways lol there's two ways this could go

I think she'd either have PCOS and keep the beard. Or she'd have transfem butch swag. Beard could be a safety thing (passing as a man) or maybe she doesn't shave it off because she feels it doesn't take away from her identity so she keeps it. Maybe a bit of both.

Anyway, Butch Kieran Duffy be upon ye

#rdr2 #kieran duffy #dz.art #dz.rdr #rdr the butchifacation #tumblr loves to eat up asks when I try to send it to the drafts #luckily took a screenshot of it b4 I did #i dont care ab gay Bill Williamson but I do believe (gay or not) hes never seen pussy b4 #the reason i think hed have pcos is his in game facial hair pattern is really similar to that of ppl who have it #and even though I dont have pcos I am on T and how the few pathches of facial hair have grown in its kinda been growing in similar lol #If you love a character enough they end up becoming almost every letter of the alphabet #Kieran is this for me unfortunatly #canonically and realistically the closest to kieran being lgbt is being cishet but like a decently good ally #but hes gay bisexual lesbian trans masc trans fem to me #Rotating him in my head so much someone get him out before he gets sick and throws up #4th kinda ooc but eh...

I talk so much about how i want to fall in love for all the things i could do for someone and all the things someone could do for me but deep down, if i’m being honest, i want to fall in love because i just so desperately need to know that love is actually real and that there are people out there capable of truly loving me

#wlw #wlw mood #sapphic #sapphism #lesbian #just like growing up and losing so many relationships #friendship and family relationships all of it #it’s hard to remember that there are people out there who can love you and that that love will stay #regardless of whether or not you can give them something #idk all the love in my life just feels gone and i don’t really think there’s anything i love anymore sometimes #but then i remember the world is big and i should stop worrying so much for now #i dont know my life is a mess lately #and it’s 5 am and i haven’t slept #and im still grieving things #and hope and patience are so hard sometimes #and there’s something about the ugly side of the whole idea of ‘yearning’ that i think about a lot #because so much of my yearning ISN’T pretty or wistful #it’s achingly desperate and lonely and uncertain #i dont know #i dont know if any of this is worded right #or if it’s all nonsense and i should just be quiet and go to sleep #idk

I need to watch Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure to reach my final conclusion on if she's even attracted to men

#girl help i keep thinking about sharpay and ryan being each others only friend growing up #theyre not very good at interpersonal relationships #romance is foreign to them. they dont care about playing romantic interests because they only view romance through the lens of theatre #fake. not real. an act to entertain an audience. so they dont understand why it would be weird #neither of them have ever kissed anyone #sharpay likes things that make her look better #because her whole life is a performance #so she wants troy because hes a shiny accessory to her #thinking about hsm 2 where once again when she tries to perform a romantic song (with troy this time and not her brother)#she still barely fucking looks at him #all of her attention is on the (nonexistent) audience #and ryan. ryan hm #ryan usually performs alongside sharpay #its usually an in universe performance. theyre on a stage. theres an audience #and all of his attention is on pleasing that audience #an exception to this is during the gay baseball song #where theres a different kind of audience BUT #ryan barely looks at them #most of his attention is directed solely to chad #talking flirting teasing being cocky and annoying but clearly addressing him directly through most of the song #first time this has happened with ryan. take that as you will #ANYWAY i can see sharpay as completely uninterested in romance but she hasnt realized that about herself #and she THINKS she wants it. because she sees it as glamorous #or maybe shes a lesbian i dont know #she might be a lesbian #the deciding factor is sharpays fabulous adventure #if she has chemistry with the guy in that movie then shes just repressed and clueless #if she doesnt shes aro #or possibly lesbian
