#he's literally wearing the colors of the bisexual flag

[baxterstockmanisthecenterfold]

2012 Stockman gives me fruity vibes

No Because you are 100% right anon.

I mean. He's awkward, he's fragile but also wants to prove he's manly & powerful, he openly referred to his MOUSERS as "his pretties"

HELL LOOK AT HIS FUCKING NAILS

Like no Straight man keeps his nails THAT polished or glammed.

Honestly. I genuinely headcanon 2012 Baxter as Bisexual or at least, a closeted Bi who hasn't come out yet for his own reasons mostly fear. But yeah. 2012 is a disaster Bicon.

Does SMG3 have a uniform that he makes SMG4 wear at 3 coffee and bombs?

Of course! But I don't think Luke has made a uniform for SMG4's attire to wear while working at Three's place but I guess I could think of anything :D

Heres the outline and then the final-

Theres actually hints from each stuff he's wearing

He has the "Bisexual Flag" but instead it's a bomb shape that you can wear with one of those pins.

Three bean colors representing Blue for Smg4, Purple for Smg3, and Indigo for them both. This shows that the two made a great work together.

The glove on his right has the letters "S.U.L." The acronym for this word is "Servant Underling" where Smg3 calls him Underling when he works there as an employee.

His left glove on the palm has the roman numeral of "IV" it's 4

The logo from the wheels are the reference from the episode called "Bad Stars" I thought about making this for representing the stars 4 and 3 made but instead of white stars I made it black because it IS three.

The Bomb and the Coffee are both on the front shoes where you could see them.

If you couldn't tell by now- the coffee 4 is holding on, has the shape of Eggdog.

The barista Hat Smg4 is wearing is bought specifically by Smg3, it's not just any ordinary hat- it has another color when you flip it back. (It's blue)

When I said smg3 bought the hat- I didn't meant just a "hat" he literally bought the fabric and materials and spent a whole night stitching and making the hat perfect just for Smg4 (He didn't tell four that he made it he just simply gave it to him)

His back hair is tied into a ponytail (it's barely seen but you could see the back of his ear)

The back view of the apron has the logo combination of the Coffee n' Bomb (it has a white outline)

The only stuff that glows in the dark are:

The text from his apron and gloves

The edge of the shoes and also the wheels

And also the back of his apron

I love this design so much

There's a Will; There's a Way Pride Special 2024

Dazai Osamu x Fem! Reader

Chuuya Nakahara x Fem! OC

Pride Special 2024

            “You almost ready, Dazai?” asked (Y/N) as she finished styling her hair and left the room.

            “Yep!” said Dazai cheerfully.

            (Y/N) deadpanned when she saw him. He was wearing a t-shirt, which was unusual for him, but the more immediately concerning part was the phrase “Bi and ready to die” printed on the tee. “Really, dear?”

            “What, don’t you like it?” asked Dazai brightly. “I’m ready for Pride!”

            “And for death, apparently,” sighed (Y/N).

            “Well, it would be an interesting article for the newspaper. ‘Local Bisexual Killed and was Prepared for It,’ ” he described playfully.

            “No dying at Pride, Dazai,” said (Y/N) sternly.

            Dazai sighed dramatically. “Fiiine, but only because you look so pretty that I can’t bear to look away!”

            (Y/N) turned pink. She was wearing a pink headband, a white shirt with a yellow vest overtop, and a blue skirt. With the colors combined, she was the pan flag, fitting for the occasion.

            “Thanks,” she said, still flustered by how forward Dazai was with compliments.

            Snickering at her embarrassment, Dazai held her hand and leaned forward. “Anything for you, love.” He gazed her a quick peck on the lips as someone knocked on the door.

            (Y/N) smiled. “Akira and Chuuya are here!” She hurried to the door and opened it to see her best friend and her boyfriend.

            “Great, you’re ready!” said Akira, hugging (Y/N) tightly and walking straight in. She stilled sported ripped jeans and combat boots, but today she had on a crop top with the words “Bisexual and still out of your league” emblazed in rainbow on the front. “I thought we’d be waiting forever.”

            (Y/N) laughed. “I’m never that late, Akira.”

            “Have you met your boyfriend?” teased Akira.

            “Hey!” chirped Dazai.

            “She’s right, you know,” said Chuuya, walking in after Akira. He leveled a look at Dazai. “You were always late on missions.” He had on his usual button up, vest, and harness, but the vest had a bisexual pride pin attached to it indicating his sexuality for Yokohama Pride.

            Dazai huffed and whined. “You three always gang up on me.”

            (Y/N) chuckled and kissed his cheek. “Don’t worry, dear, your tardiness doesn’t affect my love for you.”

            “Lucky me,” said Dazai teasingly.

            “You are the lucky one. Treat them right or someone will steal them~” said Akira in playful warning.

            Chuuya deadpanned. “You’re literally dating me.”

            Akira shrugged. “(Y/N)’s amazing. Besides, you can have Dazai then.”

            “Oh, well, thank you for your consideration,” said Chuuya sarcastically.

            “I’d much rather have (Y/N)!” declared Dazai.

            “Good attitude to have,” said Akira.

            Chuuya and (Y/N) sighed. Their partners were both so dramatic and got along much too easily to not cause chaos.

            “Are they flirting with you or each other?” muttered Chuuya.

            “Could be either. Watch out, they might start flirting with you,” said (Y/N) with a light chuckle.

            “They’re much more likely to insult me,” said Chuuya.

            (Y/N) laughed and smiled. “That they are. But I’m pretty sure that’s how Akira and Dazai show their love.”

            “Oh, great for us,” said Chuuya sarcastically, but still good-natured.

            “I know right? Pretty soon they’ll start dating each other and leave us to ourselves,” joked (Y/N). She clapped her hands and stepped between Akira and Dazai, somehow already planning a prank to pull on Mori if they managed to slip away during the event today.

            “Alright, you two,” said (Y/N). “Save the flirting for later, we’ve got places to be. Yosano and Ranpo are already there, and we do not want to leave those two alone for too long. Poor Poe will be overrun by them dragging him around.”

            Akira brightened. “How have Ranpo and Poe been doing?”

            “Ranpo gets all the candy and mystery stories he wants because Poe can’t say no to him,” said (Y/N) in amusement.

            Akira laughed. “Of course. Let’s get going to meet up with Akiko. I think the three of us should getting matching wlw pins since we are the complete set of lesbian, bisexual, and pansexual.” She offered her arm to (Y/N). “Shall we?”

            (Y/N) chuckled but linked her arm. “We shall.”

            Chuuya and Dazai watched Akira and (Y/N) walk off. “I think they’re the more likely ones to run away into the sunset together,” said Dazai.

            Chuuya rolled his eyes. “And leave me with you? Then I’ll be the one trying to die.”

            Dazai gasped in faux-betrayal as Chuuya walked out the door. “Chuuya! How mean!”

[Start ID. A digital drawing of Minos Prime from Ultrakill, who's wearing a strapless slit dress and sandals of the same deep purple. He faces towards and slightly to the right of the camera, his head is tilted further right. With one hand he gestures in a vague pointing motion, his arm folded and held close to his body. There is nothing in the background, but bracing himself on one arm, Minos is implied to be leaning against something about the height of a countertop.

Personal DnDads Pride Headcanons

some of these are simple but most are paragraphs long because of who I am as a person (incapable of saying things concisely), so they're going under a readmore. vaguely organized by age group.

one quick note: feel free to cheer on or rag on any of these that you please, variety in opinion is the spice of fandom life! everyone's headcanons are so real and valid to me, i am a strong believer in having as many contradicting fandom opinions as you want. for this list, i just went with everything that is "default" to my fan content. others' transfem sparrow is shaking hands with my gnc sparrow and yes, i'm listing that one on purpose, because if you make fun of transfem sparrow, you are getting hit by my bat. be fucking nice.

please enjoy!

Season 1 Dads and Spouses

Carol is a lesbian. This is simply canon to me. It’s important that this is first and visible to everyone.

Bi/pan polyamorous Henry and Mercedes is also simply canon to me. Honestly that one might be fully canon based on some of the things that happen in Odyssey

Henry is unlabeled but in the sense that he calls himself ‘queer’, ‘bisexual’, ‘gay’, or ‘pansexual’, fully depending on his mood and the conversation happening

Ron is also unlabeled but in the sense that he has never thought about it in his life and isn’t intending to now

Glenn is bisexual but never talks about it unless someone else mentions it first, and he tries really really hard to never think about his gender once in his life. The queer angst I give Glenn could be a whole post of its own but just know he has issues. He does fuck men though

Darryl still isn’t really sure on his sexuality and probably never will be, but he’s actually explored it a bit, so that’s better than whatever the fuck was going on with him before the show started. Henry likes giving him subtle bear pride flag accessories because Darryl actually wears them a lot. His favorite color is brown, after all.

Jodie, Nicky, and Taylor all are bisexual with a preference for women. Sexuality isn’t genetic but it is for them specifically.

Morgan is also bisexual. Literally none of the season 1 parents are straight except maybe Samantha and even with her, my opinion fully matters on the day and how I’m feeling.

Henry and Lark have definitely had an exchange at some point where Lark asked him how it was to ‘experience twink death’, to which Henry just went ‘get back to me in a few years on that, kid.’ and Lark spent the rest of the week furiously moping because clearly, he’s a twunk, Father- (words of a man who did not take care of himself well enough from the ages of 18-25 to ever be a twunk)

This is my little shipper brain but Jodie only realized he liked men after being stuffed into the Odyssey and being around Ron 24/7 for months on end (and the demon stuff, but he didn’t know that yet for obvious reasons). In his timeline, he had a whole arc about it and now he’s persistently attracted to strange men who don’t make sense as well as women light-years out of his league. He’s still a little miffed that Henry doesn’t remember the very long conversations they had about it, but him and Nicky get to wear matching bi pride bracelets now, so he guesses it’s fine.

Kiddads and Spouses

Lark is bisexual. He has known this since kindergarten when his parents explained what the flag all over their house was and has never thought about it since.

Lark also helped Rebecca realize she was bisexual because she would ask him about it in a class they shared in high school

This is utterly unrelated to LGBT headcanons but I think Veronica and Rebecca grew up in San Dimas with the kiddads, and were friends with them in high school. It just makes sense to me

Unlabeled Terry Junior is something that can be so personal to me. In a general sense, he likes everyone romantically, and identifies enough with the asexual spectrum to wear an ace ring, but he doesn’t really see the point in putting a name on it. He’s just Terry Junior and he’s happy with that.

Him, Lark, and Nicky did have a group chat called ‘bisexuals with an agenda’ in high school though, where they would make plans for pranking or otherwise harassing their fathers during group outings. Terry loves Ron but that does not mean he is above ruining his day. It’s done with affection.

My thoughts on Sparrow could be a full fanfiction but gonna try to keep it simple (retroactive edit: did not keep it simple). Sparrow is the token cishet of the kiddads, but in the queerest way possible. He’s an Oak-Garcia, of course he’s explored himself very thoroughly. At current, he identifies as gender non-confirming cis man, but he has had periods of his life where he transitioned and then detransitioned. In early high school, he identified as non-binary. From senior year up until just before Hero was born, he lived as a trans lesbian. He doesn’t see these periods as phases, just as his identity changing over time. Currently he’s perfectly happy identifying as a man, but wouldn’t be wholly shocked if he transitioned again. Calls himself “cis but gender is obviously, massively, a social construct and so it feels unfair to expect myself to fit into these boxes when identity can be so fluid and-”

Rebecca still calls him her wife, and also a granola lesbian or MILF from time to time because it makes him laugh, and while Nicky was still in his life, he would send Sparrow trans memes a lot. Sparrow also has always liked being seen as non-binary, he sees it as ‘winning at being androgynous’. Competitive to the sense of nonsensical Sparrow my beloved

Sparrow always wears women’s clothing but that’s for autistic reasons. They just fit nicer for his brain. It helps the gender(tm) thing though, he near exclusively wore hand-me-downs from Mercedes throughout all of high school

Sorry for talking so much about Sparrow. He’s my favorite character so he is the focus of many of my thoughts. Anyways

Never been a huge fan of the ‘Grant was outed by his crush in the Forgotten Realms’ headcanon, I think Grant came out about a year beforehand. Long enough where everything about it has settled but it’s still new enough that Darryl forgot for a split second and thought Grant might have a crush on Killa during the Four Knight arc. He’d known he liked boys a while before that, and also his parents kind of figured he was gay most of his life since he had 95% girl friends

Marco is pansexual! He met Grant in college because he worked the front desk of their dorm building and would always wear a bunch of pride pins

Nicky was Grant’s first good friend who was a boy, I like to think that they were childhood friends. Grant announced this to his dad at the age of 10 by going “Nick Close is transgender now, so that means you don’t have to worry about me only talking to girls because he’s a boy.” and Darryl went “…Alright?” and then googled what ‘transgender’ means

Speaking of, Nicky realized he was trans because of Mulan. Both Glenn and Jodie, in their respective timelines, googled ‘How do I know if my daughter is a lesbian’ before he came out because Nicky would rewatch the reflection song so often and also the tomboy-isms. Everyone felt very stupid for being surprised when he cut all of his hair off, cried, and asked to change his name

T4T Nicky and Cassandra is canon and they rubbed it into everyone's faces when they were together, Anthony is just afraid of the truth

Cassandra is trans het. I love trans het people more than anything and I love her so this makes sense to me.

Veronica is non-binary, in the sense of “girl but to the left”. They/she pronouns, calls themself a girlie and a mom but not a woman, dresses in a kickass pantsuit at formal events. I’m also in love with her

Season 2 Teens and Friends

Hero and Normal are both trans. When Hero came out, Sparrow sat Normal down to explain why Hero was now a sister instead of a brother and Normal responded with “Well, that’s not fair. How come Hero can be a girl but I can’t be a boy?!” and Sparrow just stared at him for a really long time before going “You can be a boy, honey.” and they went thrift shopping as a family for new clothes the next day

Normal is stealth trans, mostly because Hero is the same way and he copies her, but also because it doesn’t really occur to him that he passes. He just figures that people knows even though he is on testosterone and binds and presents masculine. It helps that his family presents pretty gender-neutral as a whole, so most people assume he had long hair as a kid because his parents are hippies. They had a son and daughter, both with long hair. They now have a daughter and a son, both with short hair. To the general populace, nothing has changed, they just misremembered which kid was older.

Taylor is a demi-boy and spends every year growing more and more feminine. Definitely calls their gender something like ‘boy with a dash of girl on the side’ with their friends. Growing out his hair was a newer thing and he regrets cutting it, even if it was a super cool sequence and he looked like an anime protagonist, because he liked how it framed his face.

Cassandra has always maintained an openness about her trans identity, so Taylor’s the same way. He’s always got the he/they pronoun pin on (I figure this is normalized by the time of season 2, but he’s just very pleased about it), he has a variety of trans and non-binary pride pins that he cycles through, and they like painting their nails because it’s an easy way for them to feel a little more feminine.

Cassandra’s living room is decorated with a massive trans pride flag and LED lights. The first time the teens walk into Taylor’s home, Scary says “it looks like a Twitch stream in here” at the same time that Normal says “it looks like my sister’s room in here” and they high-five while Taylor yells at them to be nice.

Hermie is genderfluid and uses any pronouns. This is real to me. He has my own teenage trait of gender shifting every three hours and never knowing what to do about it and he will be suffering with this until he exits puberty, at which point he gives up and just sees what gender other people choose for him.

Hermie is also pan/ace! No further thoughts here. She just is.

Erica just goes by queer because she doesn’t think the common passerby deserves to know her rich inner life and she’s right, they don’t

I tend to say a lot that all of the S2 kids are bisexual, and I represent them as such, but I truly believe that Lincoln and Normal both have no idea what’s going on with their sexualities. They say they’re bisexual for bisexual teen squad reasons but Normal is going through a constant crisis of “Am I gay or bisexual?” and Lincoln looks up the definition of aro/ace on a weekly basis. Neither of them will ever express this until Scary goes “maybe I’m not bisexual, actually.”

On that note, Scary is a lesbian but she’s not going to realize that until college. For now, she’s rocking with the bisexuality and pretends it’s not weird that her ‘crushes’ on boys feel wildly different than her crushes on girls. Yes I am projecting. This is not a secret. We project onto Scary here.

The inherent queerness of Stranger Things by me

Eddie Munson is a gay man and I will not hear anything to the contrary.

Reason number one: look at him!!! That’s a gay man!! 

Reason number two: he’s flagging. Flagging is a specific part of gay culture (specifically with men and specifically back then, though it is still used today) that was meant mainly for cruising and hookups. Different colored bandannas mean different things, as do which pocket they’re in. For example: a black handkerchief/bandanna means S&M, if it’s in the back LEFT pocket, the person is a top/dom, if it’s in the back RIGHT pocket, the person is a bottom/sub. Eddie has his bandanna in the back LEFT and it’s black. To further prove this point, he has handcuffs hanging up on his wall. He also wears a belt with a handcuff buckle. (Also look at the way he’s standing!!! That’s not a straight man!!!)

Reason number three: his music choices. 80s metal has a tendency to be very camp, very flamboyant, and very over the top. With the hair, makeup, outfits, it’s all very gay. One of his favorite artists is Judas Priest, whose lead singer is a gay man!! The aesthetic of a lot of metal bands back then was very similar to the style and aesthetic you’d seen in leather clubs at the time (look up Tom of Finland), continuing to play into reason number 2. 

[Top left: Judas Priest in the 80s. Top right: Accept’s album “Balls to the Walls”. Bottom left: Motlëy Crüe in the 80s. Bottom right: Accept in the 80s]

REASON FOUR: the way he interacts with Steve is so unbelievably NOT heterosexual I can’t even make it up. He literally looks at him at point after hot wiring a car and says “Harrington’s got her, don’t you big boy?” With the flirtiest look anyone has ever seen. He does this very frequently too. Planning to go to the War Zone, pinning him to a wall with a bottle against his throat??? SUPER gay!! Before the big battle at the end of the season he kind of pulls Steve away from his group and does a little like “oh shit it’s now or never, it’s time to confess my feelings” look before saying “make him pay.” It turned out to be never because he then dies but that is beside the point. It would have been the perfect moment for a kiss but the Duffer brothers are cowards. 

“Don’tcha big boy?” Are you fucking kidding me??

The LOOK???? omfg

*bisexual confusion* *gay panic* 

That SMILE????? ARE YOU KIDDING??? HE SO AHHHHHH!!!!

Reason five: he says the exact words “hunt the freak right?” to the group and Robin, with a look and tone of complete understanding says “exactly.” These are gay people realizing they’re both gay and doing a little clocking moment.

[Hunt the freak, right?]

[Exactly.]

Now on to Steve.

Reason number one for Steve being bisexual: he has a staring problem. Specifically at other men and their lips. Specifically when he’s being threatened. Or literally just listening to men speak, this happens frequently. 

Look at the way he’s leaning on that car!! Little bisexual boy!! In love with your best friend!

Steve “submissive and breedable” Harrington

Steve “submissive and breedable” Harrington pt.2

I love that Eddie is talking about Nancy and Steve is fully not paying attention.

Really had to use this GIF again, the way he looks at Eddie? The GULP???

Reason number 2: in season three, Dustin say “you can have all the babes you want, and more” and Steve responds with “more, i like more.” If that’s not bisexual I need to have my license revoked. 

[More? I like more.]

Reason three: no cis straight man is that attractive!!! No cis straight man is that babygirl!!!!! 

Reason four: he spends every interaction with Eddie just looking at him. Eddie tells him he should go for Nancy again and Steve just continues staring at his lips. 

Reason five: Steve wears Eddie’s battle vest. 

And the overarching reason for all of this: Stranger Things is a show about freaks and outcasts, it makes sense that there would be a large amount of queer characters. Also, i like it.

To hop on the pride train, can't you see Will decked for pride and taking Dark to a pride festival? At first, he'd just sigh and go along with it, but then he'd loosen up! He just would hate admitting it! XD

Yes!!!

----------

Dark wasn’t known for bright, colorful, and loud things, but his husband was. His husband was quite literally a bright, colorful, and loud thing. And his said bright, colorful, and loud husband was now dragging Dark around at a bright, colorful, and loud event. 

“Me holding your hand will be clear enough,” Dark said when Wilford tried to tie a bisexual flag around his neck to match the pansexual one he had on. 

“Alright, alright,” Wilford said in defeat, stepping away to fold the flag and tuck it under his arm. “Let’s go get us a drink.” He took Dark’s hand and started walking with him. “I heard they have an amazing hand-shaken lemonade.” 

“Hand-shaken lemonade?” Dark wasn’t sure how to think about that. He understood lemonade, but why were they shaking it?  

“They also put strawberries in it,” Wilford added, perking up when he found the stand and quickly got them over there, claiming their spot in line. 

“Do they shake those in the drink as well?” Dark asked, getting an excited head nod as an answer. 

After getting their shaken lemonades and Dark admitting that it was delicious, he and Wilford walked around the event more. They paused to watch some of the performers, and at one point, Wilford got pulled up to the stage. Dark felt like he would implode as Wilford sang Good Old Fashion Lover Boy and kept pointing at him. Wilford was lucky that Dark did love him, or he would have gone home right then and there. 

Dark said he wanted some food after that, mainly wanting to do that so he could get away from the still-cheering crowd. They got some hot dogs almost the size of their heads and then some cotton candy as dessert. They also shared a cute moment of feeding each other the sugary treat. 

The more time passed, the more relaxed Dark became. He adjusted to the noise and how the chaotic energy was just joy and was almost contagious. While Dark wasn’t much for big parties, even he couldn’t deny how nice this all was. Everyone was free, happy, and thriving on not having to hold back or hide who they were. It was nice. 

“Yan would kill me if I didn’t get some of this for her,” Wilford said as he and Dark made their way through a path with booths where people were selling things. Dark chuckled as Wilford made a bee-line for the makeup-selling booth. 

He found himself wandering off to a booth selling pride pins. He recognized that the seller had a collection of metal pins that were pride flags, picking up one of the bisexual flag pins. This was definitely more his style. He paid for the pin and undid the top few buttons of his shirt, reaching in to put the pin on before putting himself back together. Dark turned and started heading back to where he had last seen Wilford but saw that he was no longer there. He was now in a crowd of moving strangers.

“Darkling!” Wilford chuckled, coming up behind Dark and kissing his cheek, leaving a hot-pink print of his lips from the lipstick he had bought and put on. Dark saw the lipstick and knew the lip print was there but didn’t bother wiping it off. “You got yourself a pin. I think that’s rather suiting for you.” Dark smiled and looped his arm through Wilford’s, now the one guiding him through the crowd, speaking softly so that those around them couldn’t hear. 

“I’m thinking that when we’re back home, I’ll go full out with an outfit for you.” 

“Are you going to wear the flag like a cape?” Wilford asked like an excited puppy. 

“I could wear the flag and only the flag.” Dark’s smile turned into a grin. That got Wilford’s eyes to darken, and he chuckled deeply. 

“I like the sound of that~” Wilford slipped them behind a booth and sent them back to the Manor with a puff of pink and a lingering scent of cotton candy.

More Kiaz Headcannons: Pride Edition

1.Miguel is bisexual. He genuinely loved Sam, but is happier now with Robby. He came out to his mom and YaYa about two months before beginning to date him. For Pride Month, he subtly wears the colors of the bisexual flag. Blue shirt, purple bracelet, pink sneakers one day, purple surf shirt with blue swim trunks and pink flip flops the next…

2. Robby, on the other hand, is full on gay and explains his coming out as “I didn’t come out, I was pushed out of the closet onto my ass.” He and Tory were great friends, but he realized quickly that it wouldn’t be fair to her to hide the truth. She is the first person he comes out to. The dojo finds out about his sexuality when Johnny, the worlds most surprising ally (read chaotic himbo)shows up wearing a T shirt that says “Proud Parent of A Badass Gay Son” and rainbow sunglasses for Pride Month. Robby is mortified and doesn’t speak to him for about a week, but after that the whole class is supportive.

3. Miguel and Robby get together gradually, spending more and more time together as friends, and it eventually becomes so much more. Neither officially asks the other out, until one night after watching a late night movie, Miguel leans in close, and Robby leans closer, and eventually they’re just kissing…which is, admittedly expected at this point but still new and exciting all the same. They sleep in the same bed that night (nothing sexual, just literal side by side bed sharing) and Carmen finds them snuggled up together in the morning.

I hate to make this post but to all the trans people out there, don't assume the best in people.

Minor example below, not violent just telling.

Don't just assume because someone has their pronouns stated or is alternative or has a "queer aesthetic" that they're trans friendly.

I have always known this but something recent that REALLY shocked me that really reminded me.

I recently broke up with a now ex boyfriend.

I am not here to vent about the relationship or circumstances, but it was not on good terms and he had been the wrong one. This is relevant I promise.

I had known this guy for going on 5 years, and the entire time I just kinda assumed he was a cool progressive guy. I mean, he has long hair. He "cross dresses." He wears makeup. He has a bisexual pride flag in his room. He has dyed hair. He's had boyfriends before. He was okay with she and they pronouns. He sais he questioned his gender before in middle school. He has face piercings. He is the most stereotypical "woke" guy imaginable.

And when we broke up, him having cheated, and the person he cheated with a trans man. And some things happened where he did some very comically evil shit to him.

When I confront him twice he uses the wrong pronouns. First time I correct him, he ignored it. The second time? He responds this way:

All it fucking took for him to reveal his true colors was being confronted about something HE did. All it took for him to misgender someone was literally just being confronted 💀 He had known the transman for the same amount of time he knew me. They were very close friends. Crazy.

Not the first example that has happened to me, nor the most recent, just so jarring. So at this point, especially with anti trans sentiment and the 2024 election in the US coming up, don't trust people unless they prove they're not transphobic. Not to say don't be friends with anyone but don't be shocked when someone, even a queer person, turns out being transphobic.

But gay as in he's attracted to any male identifying individuals or male-aligned individuals (so y'know like a non-binary person that partially identifies as a male) I just don't see him having a relationship with a woman unless it's platonic/a friendship. He's definitely the type of gay to make women fall head over heels for him (obviously not on purpose) then the women become severely disappointed when they find out he's gay- He's the gay that has to deal with those awkward interactions-

-

Abba: Kinda the same for Abba. He just doesn't rub me as the type to like women or other genders- He's a simple man. A simple man that loves men- But he's also demi-androgynous. Since I feel like you could confuse him for a woman for obvious reasons- And in general I feel like he could partially relate/feel connected to women, however, he doesn't actually identity as a woman.

-

Mista: I mean- I don't think I gotta explain this one. This vibes r all there- Despite his croptop he thinks they make him look hot not feminine so he doesn't relate or feel connected to identifying as any other gender-

-

Nara: IT'S THE VIBES BRO- First off, man's color pallet is literally the non-binary flag- Second- Bc of the fact his gender is a bit all over the place he definitely feels attracted to ppl regardless of their gender, therefore, man's Pan. I'd also say he's a Demiboy, he doesn't always feel fully connected to being a guy nor does he always relate to it. Hence why he might appear feminine at times. But I don't think he'd identify as a female. Tbh idk why he gives me the vibes that he'd get mad if ppl assume he's a girl. He doesn't mind wearing feminine clothes but just like Abba, I feel he wouldn't like identifying as one. He'd rather identify without a gender or his assigned gender.

-

Fugo: MLM so y'know like Bruno a male that is attracted to other males or male-aligned individuals. For that same reason I think he'd also identify as Polyromantic meaning he's specifically romantically attracted to males or non-binary (specifically masc non-binary) ppl but not women or ppl who even partially identify as women. I also believe he'd be demisexual in terms and will only have a sexual relationship with his partner if he's been in a deep and serious relationship with them for years otherwise don't expect any sort of sexual relation from this dude-

-

Gio: Again, same as Fugo and Bruno mmmm m e n/m a l e a l i g n e d p p l. At this point I'm completely on board with the trans (FTM) hc of his- I mean- Araki practically wrote it himself- BUT he also identifies as Androgynous given the way he dresses and I'd say even acts at times- However, I don't think he'd identify as a female bc of that. He just like... Understands and relates to women for obvious reasons- and the Neopronouns r kinda funny haha thing for me- Tbh idk to take them serious myself or not 💀 But I liked the idea anyways bc of how Mista called him his "Lucky Boy" and I just liked the idea of at that moment Giorno thinking 'That's... A... Nice word to use a pronoun-' (IN NO WAY DO I MEAN THIS IS A GIOMIS WAY- He just genuinely liked the word as a pronoun 💀 (that's my HC anyways-))

-

Trish: MmmMM w o m e n- She's definitely and completely into girls/female-alinged individuals. After the shit she went through? Constantly being surrounded by men both protecting her but also severely endangering her? Yeah, she's had enough of dudes- /hj. Trish is definitely like... A girly girl when it comes to everything outside of fighting- I just feel like she'd definitely see/describe all males as "too rough and boyish" idk what that'd even mean but essentially she just would always find some sort of discomfort in guys so- A lesbian she is- And I'd definitely say she's someone that's happy and confident with her gender. She loves her body and her gender and wouldn't want to change it for any reason or identify as anything other than herself, which is a AFAB :)

[wouldyoudoanythingforme]

i love that taylor used the bi flag colors so much in the sky and house for the lavender haze mv and that she was showing it to us (like the scenes where she pulls things open to reveal the flying bi koi), i just think thats such a beautiful way to express what shes been doing in her work for so long, shes been telling and showing us that shes queer in her art for over a decade and her pulling open curtains and the tv to show us the bi flag koi seems to sorta represent that idk if im making sense but i just have so many thoughts and i love this mv

Yes, anon!!!!! I didn't make this exact connection but you're totally right, it is like she's pulling the curtain back and showing us a look inside her head and her head is very queer.

I have so many thoughts on the music video, but I really think the queer elements in this music video are tied up to the raincloud. I think the visual representation of her being awake while her lover is sleeping with a depression cloud over her, only for the video to be significantly queer coded in nature feels honestly quite true to what the issue is in her current relationship (wanting to be openly queer). I think the fact that we get her in the room getting high while she is watching TV, only for that TV to be a reference to midnight rain- a song about her forced closeting and the grief of that written on the night of her botched me! Coming out announcement. It's so clear that she is being haunted by her glass closet situation and she wants to be queer but she can't be queer just yet so she has to resort to her music allowing her the space to be queer. I think that's why she's in the lesbian outfit, when she opens the window which is a clear reference to her endgame video which is another reputation mention, because reputation was like the height of this internal struggle for her.

I also like that Joe is being showcased because it dispells the beard rumors quite heavily honestly and I love her for it. She does not like the theory that she is being queer because she's pining after a married married woman at all but she is recognizing the queer elements of reputation era and beyond and saying joe is the one who helped through this era of my life which is really beautiful.

I love toe so much, yall, I would literally die for them.

Anyways, I love how she is showing how Joe's support of her sapphic ass helps ground her in reality and in love. Like he accepts her for all of her and to showcase that visually with his representation hugging and holding her (we never get a kiss, we just get intimate touching and support from him which is so !!!! Loaded) in this crowded room, where people are whispering about her. It really shows how important Joe is to her and how much his support allows her the courage to wear the lesbian colored top and not care about the whispers of the people around her.

I also really love how he's shown to literally be supporting her while she's dancing and just embracing her and hugging her and allowing her to be soft and safe and vulnerable and authentic with him. It's so beautiful and I could cry at the bisexual representation in this video alone. I want to tattoo this video on my forehead. It was better than I could have imagined honestly.

decided to finally draw some digital art after procrastinating for 2 months. i had a lot of trouble with their hands, their eyes look a little wonky, and i forgot to color in the buttons on their cardigan (AND put my signature on the drawing) but this is definitely an improvement over their old ref sheet i made in august of last year. anyways happy pride month!

[ID: A person with 3C type black hair looking to the top left. They have dark brown eyes and skin, one of their eyebrows being raised. They have pigmentation on their cheeks, nose, forehead, hand, and shoulder. They have a curious look on their face, one of their thumbs resting on their chin as if they are lost in thought. They have a beard and a chipped tooth, their upper lip being dark brown. They have pale peachy-brown (?) fingernails. They wear a pale yellow cardigan, their right shoulder being exposed due to them wearing that side of the cardigan off the shoulder, as they rest their right hand on their hip. They wear a burgundy collared tank top (?) with 2 poppy red stripes on the shirt and the collar. They wear dark navy blue pants with pale blue/periwinkle bottom hems. They have black socks and ruby red sneakers. The tongue, tip, and bottoms of the sneakers are all white while the laces are also ruby red. The sneakers also have a dark ruby red diamond-like star shapes on them. The text to the right of them reads: “Nova Inês Cardoso Rodrigues” in the Tw Cen MT font colored red with a black border around it. The other text in the image are also formatted with the same font and colors. Underneath their name reads:

“They/She/He

To the right of the text there are 5 pride flags with the genderqueer, nonbinary, and asexual flags with the bisexual and sex-repulsed asexual flags being underneath them. Underneath the text reads:

“-Very nosy and curious

-Collects music boxes as a hobby”

Underneath that, there is a meme where a Siamese kitten with a purple bell collar stares at the camera while sitting on a brown carpeted floor. In impact font, there is text that reads “Repost if you love this cat” on the top of the image while the bottom of the image reads “Or you have slowly been growing more insane with each passing day”.

Below the image, there is text that reads “(i literally dont know what else to put)” regarding facts about Nova. Nova stands in front of a red-to-purple gradient background with red polka-dots coming out of the red gradient. Finally, there is a wonky-looking white arrow border made using FireAlpaca’s arrow brush. /End ID]

There's a Will; There's a Way Pride Special 2023

Dazai Osamu x Fem! Reader

Chuuya Nakahara x Fem! OC

            “You almost ready, Dazai?” asked (Y/N) as she finished styling her hair and left the room.

            “Yep!” said Dazai cheerfully.

            (Y/N) deadpanned when she saw him. He was wearing a t-shirt, which was unusual for him, but the more immediately concerning part was the phrase “Bi and ready to die” printed on the tee. “Really, dear?”

            “What, don’t you like it?” asked Dazai brightly. “I’m ready for Pride!”

            “And for death, apparently,” sighed (Y/N).

            “Well, it would be an interesting article for the newspaper. ‘Local Bisexual Killed and was Prepared for It,’ ” he described playfully.

            “No dying at Pride, Dazai,” said (Y/N) sternly.

            Dazai sighed dramatically. “Fiiine, but only because you look so pretty that I can’t bear to look away!”

            (Y/N) turned pink. She was wearing a pink headband, a white shirt with a yellow vest overtop, and a blue skirt. With the colors combined, she was the pan flag, fitting for the occasion.

            “Thanks,” she said, still flustered by how forward Dazai was with compliments.

            Snickering at her embarrassment, Dazai held her hand and leaned forward. “Anything for you, love.” He gazed her a quick peck on the lips as someone knocked on the door.

            (Y/N) smiled. “Akira and Chuuya are here!” She hurried to the door and opened it to see her best friend and her boyfriend.

            “Great, you’re ready!” said Akira, hugging (Y/N) tightly and walking straight in. She stilled sported ripped jeans and combat boots, but today she had on a crop top with the words “Bisexual and still out of your league” emblazed in rainbow on the front. “I thought we’d be waiting forever.”

            (Y/N) laughed. “I’m never that late, Akira.”

            “Have you met your boyfriend?” teased Akira.

            “Hey!” chirped Dazai.

            “She’s right, you know,” said Chuuya, walking in after Akira. He leveled a look at Dazai. “You were always late on missions.” He had on his usual button up, vest, and harness, but the vest had a bisexual pride pin attached to it indicating his sexuality for Yokohama Pride.

            Dazai huffed and whined. “You three always gang up on me.”

            (Y/N) chuckled and kissed his cheek. “Don’t worry, dear, your tardiness doesn’t affect my love for you.”

            “Lucky me,” said Dazai teasingly.

            “You are the lucky one. Treat them right or someone will steal them~” said Akira in playful warning.

            Chuuya deadpanned. “You’re literally dating me.”

            Akira shrugged. “(Y/N)’s amazing. Besides, you can have Dazai then.”

            “Oh, well, thank you for your consideration,” said Chuuya sarcastically.

            “I’d much rather have (Y/N)!” declared Dazai.

            “Good attitude to have,” said Akira.

            Chuuya and (Y/N) sighed. Their partners were both so dramatic and got along much too easily to not cause chaos.

            “Are they flirting with you or each other?” muttered Chuuya.

            “Could be either. Watch out, they might start flirting with you,” said (Y/N) with a light chuckle.

            “They’re much more likely to insult me,” said Chuuya.

            (Y/N) laughed and smiled. “That they are. But I’m pretty sure that’s how Akira and Dazai show their love.”

            “Oh, great for us,” said Chuuya sarcastically, but still good-natured.

            “I know right? Pretty soon they’ll start dating each other and leave us to ourselves,” joked (Y/N). She clapped her hands and stepped between Akira and Dazai, somehow already planning a prank to pull on Mori if they managed to slip away during the event today.

            “Alright, you two,” said (Y/N). “Save the flirting for later, we’ve got places to be. Yosano and Ranpo are already there, and we do not want to leave those two alone for too long. Poor Poe will be overrun by them dragging him around.”

            Akira brightened. “How have Ranpo and Poe been doing?”

            “Ranpo gets all the candy and mystery stories he wants because Poe can’t say no to him,” said (Y/N) in amusement.

            Akira laughed. “Of course. Let’s get going to meet up with Akiko. I think the three of us should getting matching wlw pins since we are the complete set of lesbian, bisexual, and pansexual.” She offered her arm to (Y/N). “Shall we?”

            (Y/N) chuckled but linked her arm. “We shall.”

            Chuuya and Dazai watched Akira and (Y/N) walk off. “I think they’re the more likely ones to run away into the sunset together,” said Dazai.

            Chuuya rolled his eyes. “And leave me with you? Then I’ll be the one trying to die.”

            Dazai gasped in faux-betrayal as Chuuya walked out the door. “Chuuya! How mean!”

este es tu lugar, donde no queda nadie fuera

Sometime in May:

“So, guys, in a month is our first pride parade as a group” Yam starts, and everyone started cheering and chattering amongst themselves “can you guys be quiet? I’m not done” she continued, just a touch louder than her usual voice, making all of them be silent “thank you, now, me and Jim went downtown yesterday, and we bought a bunch of jean jackets for everyone, with leather ones for Pedro and Emilia, because I know they’d get on my case about it” she rolls her eyes, making everyone snicker “and I was thinking of sewing everyone’s flags in the back of theirs and initials, plus a fun symbol in the front, so please, if you’re not my girlfriend, state your full name, sexuality and what you’d like to have on your jacket, so I can write it down, because you’re too many people for me to remember it all”

“Simón Alvarez, bisexual, and I’d like a blue beanie on mine, please” he grinned

“Ámbar Smith, bisexual and polyamorous, and a white and red rose on mine, if you will” she smirked at her boyfriend and girlfriend

“Gastón Perida, ally, and I’d love an open book on mine, thank you”

“Nina Simonetti, demiromantic and if you could add a blue ribbon to mine, that’d be great”

“Ramiro Ponce, gay and if you could do a skate with the queerplatonic flag colors to the front, I’d love that” he smiles at his partner

“Luna Valente, panromantic and asexual, and what he said” she rests her elbow on Ramiro’s shoulder

“Matteo Balsano, gay, and I want a little earth with a plane flying around it in mine”

“Delfina Alzamendi, bisexual and can you do a camera on mine?”

“Jazmin Carbajal, lesbian and the autism infinity symbol on mine, please”

“Pedro Arias, bisexual and I want a drumset”

“Emilia Mansfield, lesbian and I want a red and white skate on front” she high-fives Ramiro

She writes it all down as they speak “good, now, I have got to go buy a shit ton of energy drinks because this is going to be a while, also, don’t expect to see me at all for the next few weeks, adiós” she says, kissing her girlfriend and jogging out of the building

—————————————————————

At the parade:

“Dios mio! That jacket is so pretty, wait, are you that girl from the court case and the shady adoption?” a random girl with short red hair asked Luna

“Uhm- erm-“ Luna let out, very uncomfortable

“Hey! Leave her alone!” Ramiro stepped in, not one to let people treat his partner like that

“Aww that’s so adorable! You defending your girlfriend like that” a blonde woman approached them

“Ma’am, I’m literally wearing a gay pride flag on my jacket, and you came from behind me, so you must’ve seen it, and considering we’re in a pride parade, you should know your flags” he ranted, very angry

“Hey, breathe, you know some people don’t know a lot of flags, breathe with me” the shorter girl tries to calm him down, shooting an apologetic look to the woman, before guiding him away “Come on, let’s go find Babi and the others”

—————————————————————

Ámbar was just chilling with her partners when a kid, who couldn’t have been older than seven, came barreling towards them and tugged on her jacket “hey miss” she immediately knelt to the ground, having grown used to kids with the increasing amount of them that came to roller after Luna and Ramiro did the ad for that toy store, but that’s a story for another day “what is that blue, black and red flag with the yellow thingy on your back?” She smiled

“Well, first, what’s your name?” She asked, softly

“Lucas”

“Well, Lucas, that flag is the polyamorous flag, do you know what polyamorous means?” He shakes his head “do you see these two people I’m here with?” Simón and Emilia wave, he’s smiling at the kid, she’s very awkward and stiff, the kid nods “well, I am in a romantic relationship with both of them”

“Both????” The kid asked, flabbergasted

“Yes, both, that’s what being polyamorous means, it means that you get to love multiple people romantically, at the same time”

“That’s cool!” He says, before racing back to his parents, a couple of butch lesbians who were watching this go down a few meters away, and excitedly telling them what he just learned

—————————————————————

“Ooh look at the glow in that flag over there! And that thing someone spray painted on that wall! So many pretty pictures to be taken” Delfi waved her camera around, as her boyfriend worriedly caught her wrist “Mi amor, you’re gonna break that thing”

Next to them, Jazmin badgered a poor person selling their art on a stand “so, how much for those earrings? and what is that necklace made of? Oh, and this bracelet, what does it cost?, what about that ring?”

All in all, a normal day for Pedro, the sapphic handler, and if anyone looked wrong at his favorite girl and her favorite girl, well, he’s not a punk guy who appears threatening for no reason, and showing his fists helps out a lot in that way

—————————————————————

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Nina was asleep in her boyfriends back, her social battery died, as he browsed books from queer authors and tried to stop his best friend from doing something stupid “No, Matteo, you cannot go upstage with the performers to “show your talents”, no Matteo, you promised Simón to tell him if you were going to join a drag contest, because he wanted to come too, don’t touch Nina, she’s tired, fine, let’s go get ice cream” and that’s what they did, after waking up Nina, he took his two favorite people for ice cream, his eye twitching every time Matteo acted like a child, he ended up going back and buying a book on the history of pride flags afterwards, it looked really interesting, and he figured Nina would also appreciate it

—————————————————————

After the parade, at the mansion

“To our first pride, where no one died or got arrested!” Simón called out, raising his glass

“To our first pride!” Everyone else chorused

[shootinwebs]

make it make sense

(also i can't get over how this dude's last name is literally "kope," feckin ironic lmfao)

(Description/context:

Screenshot of a comment I posted in a Hazbin Facebook group. My comment was on a post about Trans positivity with an image of Angel Dust with a Trans pride flag. The screenshot shows that I commented with an image of the following edit I made:

Panel of Angel Dust from the Hazbin Hotel official prequel comic starring him. He is wearing a trilby or fedora, and is grinning badassly while holding guns in all six of his spider arms. The whole image has an abstract trans flag background and color scheme, and he's wearing a lapel button that says "Fuck the Cis-Tem."

Some guy replied to my comment and said, "bud, I get how badly you want to associate with him, but he's not trans. His name was Anthony, he uses male pronouns, he's just a very flamboyant bisexual dude. That's it.")

[thatoneguy031]

So, I realized that I never really did anything for Pride Month. My bad, especially since I'm a member of that group.

I know it isn't a lot, but what if I talked about where my characters sat on the LGBT spectrum? That works for you guys, right?

First things first, Delta. Hoo boy, is he an odd case. Like, he's obviously asexual, he literally doesn't even have genitals to begin with. But, as you'll see way, way later in his storyline, he is interested in the concept of romance. And, he follows the "It doesn't matter, love is love" mentality, so I guess he's panromantic? Is that a term?

On top of that, he's not really opposed to the idea of crossdressing or looking feminine or anything. He's the kind of guy to wear a full, Princess Peach-styled dress because it's comfy, or something like that. He goes by any and all pronouns, but I use he/him in my stories about him, for no reason in particular.

For Jason, he's ace/aro, simply put, clear-cut as his Oshawott's fighting style. Similarly to Ash, he doesn't really care for love too much, as long as you and your Pokemon are strong and give him a solid challenge, which you'll see more and more time passes(He referred to Bianca as "girlfriend," because they were just that close with each other to do stuff like that. They weren't dating or anything). The only "love" he shows is towards Jayden and his Pokemon, who is family and are considered family respectively.

Trevor, as I've mentioned before, is straight and questioning. He's always thought he just liked girls when he was in middle and high school, but his best friend, Bryant...

Bryant. Just Bryant.

...Yeah, that Floatzel definitely flipped Trevor's world view on its head, and now he's just confused. Please send your condolences for our turnabout Typlosion-Ampharos-Blastoise... guy.

Funnily enough, Smudge is the only character that I've made with the intent of being purely homosexual. At least, mostly, but I'll get to Chris eventually.

Smudge is pretty clearly into Charles, but their situation is kinda complicated. Smudge thinks that he doesn't have a chance in heck with Charles due to his childhood, so he sticks with them just being friends, and Charles thinks that Smudge is way out of his league due to the dragon's now-popularity, so he doesn't even bother asking him out. But, they do still talk to each other, and Smudge jokingly brought up the chance of them just making out once, which Charles clearly wanted. He denied it, though, in fear of looking too weird.

You know how I said I'd get to Chris's whole deal eventually? Well, now it's eventually(The first time I've followed up on that kind of thing in a while).

Chris had a rough childhood. He was often picked on, mostly because he was an easy target, but also because he was just a loser to his bullies. So, he never really got to even discover his options.

When he was turned into a Pokemon, he got to see the rest of Team 7(Besides Stephanie, because he already knew her from when he first arrived.) Insert some wacky, emotional missions later, but he sorta began growing feelings for Lucas, that Cubone I keep mentioning. It wasn't love, at least not at the time, but Chris definitely felt like he could connect with him more than anyone else on the team, since they've had similar backgrounds. So, it's not like he's dating Lucas or anything...

...But he isn't repelled by the idea of getting to know him a little more.

For yours truly, I'm bisexual. At least, I'm pretty sure I am. There's no real explanation for this. I kinda just discovered I liked dudes one day, and I rolled with it. Nothing special, no interesting backstory, that's sorta just... it. Point, blank, period, 'cause it ain't no question.

Off topic, I love the bi flag. It gives such a vaporwave aesthetic, and I can really vibe with that kind of thing. The colors blend in with each other so well, they're so easy on the eyes.
