“queer spaces should be inclusive of people who don’t enjoy sex and who have “strange”, negative or repulsed relationships with sex” and “sex is an important aspect of lgbt community, history, and activism and queer people should be allowed and able to talk freely about sex without stigma or shame” are ideas that can and should coexist.
#‘queer people were banned from and shamed for having sex and that’s where a lot of our activism stemmed from’ and#‘not liking or having sex is considered abnormal and a mental illness and also needs to be destigmatized’ are concepts that not only can but#often do coalign#it’s esp important to consider that a lot of lgbt ppl who have a tricky and strained relationship with sex are like that because of trauma#which is very common for queer folks#it’s really not an ace-only thing#like i am sex repulsed but it’s very hard to discern if it’s because i’m asexual or if it’s the trauma. either way i deserve to have those#feelings and be included in lgbt spaces and discussions about sex and treated as just another queer person with a different experience#instead of being alienated because my feelings about sex don’t directly line up with yours#im so sick of people in this community trying to pit us against each other. as an ace lesbian that shit is so toxic and harmful#my relationship with sex is fluid. im sex-positive always‚ but i often find myself sex repulsed. im otherwise neutral about it but im sick#of people acting like it’s either you enjoy sex and have it frequently or you hate it and you shame everyone who has it like youre a puritan#and it’s often aphobes who bought into that ‘aces are puritanical celibate straights who want ppl who have gay sex to die or think they’re#‘dirty’ or some shit. and it was literally 90% crypto-aphobes pretending to be aces to get people to adopt that into their belief system#the same way crypto-t/rfs pretend to be trans women who want to prey on the ‘innocent women’#and y’all will use those posts/screenshots as ‘evidence’ that whatever scapegoat you’ve selected is actually inherently bad/homophobic/#misogynistic/etc and not even#acknowledge the giant hole in your logic cuz you’re too busy trying to find a scapegoat#it’s the same tactics and y’all fall for it every time#text post#like. lesbians are CONSTANTLY getting hounded and told that we’re broken or mentally i’ll for not showing interest in (having sex with) men#for the same reason asexuality is considered bad or wrong or weird#not showing interest in heterosexual relationships or sex is why this is so important#anyone that falls outside the scope of heterosexuality is part of this community whether you like it or not

1. What Station on the Ark would you be from? Uhhhhh I literally have no idea bc we don’t really know about a lot of the stations / what they did. I’m in pre-med so maybe Go-Sci because that’s where Ark Station Medical is? I just looked up all the stations but I really have no idea. good question though. if anyone wants to respond with what they know about they stations that’d be !sick!
2. What would you get arrested for on the Ark? I’m kind of a goody-two shoes but if there was a curfew then maybe that. Or defending someone (I'd like to think)
3. Would you take off your wristband when you landed on the ground? It’s hard to think of what I would or wouldn’t do considering that I've never even been close to being in their shoes but I don't think so
4. What would the necklace Finn would make for you look like? (Clarke: deer/Raven: a raven duh..) hmmmm maybe a dog??
5. If you could resurrect any MINOR character who would it be? wow so many minor characters have died it’s hard to remember. Is wells a minor character considering he was only in a few episodes? if yes then him. if not then Jake. let us go back in time and bring him back season six </3 but not like before Clarke was arrested like present show time bring him back
6. Create a squad of 5 characters to go on missions with. Who are they? Clarke, Bellamy, Murphy, Roan, Monty. I wanna say Raven but we’re in a fight right now.
7. What Grounder Clan would you belong to?  Louwada Kliron Kru SO COLORFUL
8. What would your name be in Trigedasleng? Lian (?? whatever Leeann is in trig)
9. Thoughts on Finn? Some people hate him, and others love him, so I’m curious. Honestly I never liked him he was so weird and cocky and in his first 2 seconds in the show the people who followed him died and then he jumped off the drop ship in front of Murphy like wooOOWW Finn ur sewww coooool and and then he cheated on his girlfriend who risked her life to be with him like idk? couldn't you wait more than a week and half??? and then he literally massacred a village like ik people have done a lot of shitty things but they were posing no threat whatsoever. they tried to redeem him with the spacewalker backstory but I didn’t really feel for him :/ I don’t think he deserves the insane amount of villianization (is that a word?) he gets in fits and stuff but I also don’t think he’s the good guy they introduce him as
10. Be honest. How willing would you have been to take the chip without knowing all the horrible things it does? I think without knowing most people would say yes and on one hand I don’t do drugs and it seemed super drug-like so I probably wouldn’t but on the other hand emotionally this has been the worst year of my life bc I went through a medical thing so maybe?
11. What character do you relate to most? I think lately Murphy bc my life is literally Murphy’s law ( ha ha no pun intended ) and I kind of feel like a lot of things are working against me but I'm still here bitchesssss
12. What character do you like the least? ABBY I literally have hated her since the first episode and I wish she could die without it breaking my baby Clarkes heart but I know it would kill her to lose her so I'm kind of in a pickle. and jaha before he died was the WOAT 
13. Describe your delinquent outfit. (Would you wear something like Murphy’s jacket with the spikey red shoulder patch or have a trademark like Jasper’s goggles? Be creative, yet practical) Loose jeans or something similar and a t-shirt with a comfy jacket and the closest thing they have to Blundstones boots
14. Favorite type of mutant animal? butterflies
15. What would your job be on the Ark? something in med bay
16. Would you have willingly pumped Ontari’s heart if Abby asked? obvi
17. If Lexa wasn’t Heda, but she was still alive, then who would have made the best commander? Aiden
18. How would you act if you ate the hallucinogenic nuts like Jasper and Monty? if I was around other people and it was a good effect then lots of dancing I think but if I was alone and it had a bad effect like with Clarke and Bellamy then I would be pretty sad 
19. How would you have dealt with Charlotte’s crime? A more John Murphy approach or Bellamy Blake approach? Neither. id probably try and set up some sort of judicial system and figure it out with a group of people
20. Who should have been the Chancellor, if anyone? Clarke with Bellamy as her right hand and some others (including Kane) as a council. Their main concern was relations with the grounders and the people who have actually communicated with them should be in charge of that 
21. Would you have been on Pike’s side like Bellamy or on Kane’s side? Or Clarke in Polis? Kane’s
22. Mount Weather had a lot of modern commodities. (example: Maya’s Ipod) What is the one thing you would snatch while there? the iPod. idk how they survived this long without music.
23. What would your Grounder tattoos look like? Hairstyle? War paint? I don't like having permanent things on my body especially when its not symmetrical asdfghjk but maybe like a small meaningful tattoo?? hair would be two dutch braids or just down and war paint maybe the black line on the face like in season five?
24. Favorite quote? too many to choose from but literally anything bellarke. a few that jump to mind are “but we need each other Bellamy. the only way we’re gonna pull this off is together” “you keep her centered / you got it backwards” “I’ve got you for that” “if I'm on that list you're on that list” “we can’t lose her” oh and non bellarke “If only a conscience was a free pass, and not just a voice in your head you pretend to listen to between unspeakable acts.” is a good one
25. If all of the characters were in the Hunger Games, who would have the best shot at winning? Murphy or Bellamy 
26. Least favorite ship? Favorite canon ship? Favorite non canon ship? NOT INCLUDING CL OR BC OR BE Braven (I don't mean to offend but they just used each other for sex, I love their friendship) / but for actual canon relationship Kabby (but only because everything abby does bothers me), marper (too pure for this world pls let more good things happen on this show), niytaviah (so! much! sexual! and! romantic! tension!)
27. A song that should be included in the next season? If there had to be another guest star like Shawn Mendes on the show, who would you want to make a cameo? Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen for those rover ~vibes~ / Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing by Aerosmith / Love Like by Peter Collins, and show guest star Brie Larson, Gemma Chan, or, selfishly, Chris Hemsworth 
28. What would you do if you were stuck in the bunker with Murphy for all that time? party and watch movies and sexy time
29. You’re an extra that gets killed off. How do you die? I’m the guy who died first when the scouts attacked in season 1 bc that’s my luck
30. A character you’d like to learn more about and get flashbacks of? Bellamy
31. A character you’d bang? umm if you know me you know the answer to this is my homeboy Bellamy he can do whatever he wants to me
32. Would you stay in the Bunker? Go up to Space? Or live on your own in Eden? I wanna say eden but being alone would suck so space
33. In the Bunker, would you follow Octavia? What would you do to pass the time underground? I guess I'd have to because if not I would die uk and I would read if that was possible. if not I'd get some friends
34. What crime would you commit in the Bunker that lands you in the fighting pits? stealing supplies
35. Up in Space, who would you bond with first? Who would be the most difficult for you to get along with? Harper, and if Bellamy wasn’t too depressed to hang out then him too. Most difficult would be echo
36. How long do you think you would last on Earth by yourself? not long at all
37. When the Eligius ship lands what do you do? Hide, the valley is literally huge. or wait in the village bc no one is taking it over bitchhhh if they wanna talk then talk
38. Favorite Eligius character? Least favorite? Diyoza, McCreary
39. Would you Spacewalk? no im so scared of getting lost in space

hola lovelies ! i’m casper, cas, ur local friendly ghost, whatever you want to call me, & i’ll be playing this pocket rocket, ball of hellfire, has probably punched one too many people for her own good – harriet sloane ! just for reference, i use they/them pronouns & i live in the gmt timezone ( being online when nobody else is ? my speciality ) . if you wanna’ know more about harriet take a peek beneath the cut, & feel free to im me / like this if you want to plot !
TRIGGER WARNINGS: death, murder, execution, possible child abuse.
harriet’s life before the apocalypse could easily be described in one word – shitty. her father had bailed on their family when she was born, leaving herself, her older brother and her mom stuck in poverty, struggling to make ends meet. this, of course, led to the sloane’s tiny one bedroom flat very regularly falling into a state of disrepair and, perhaps in a moment of desperation, harriet’s mom decided to start hiding her in a cupboard whenever child protective services, or anyone that could report the state of the apartment, came knocking.
her brother, oliver sloane, was only a few years older than her, around six years, but because most neighbors already knew about him, they turned a blind eye to the squalor he was living in to keep their mother happy. therefore, olly was able to go to school, play outside, and have a fairly decent life whilst harriet was stuck inside, learning what she could via books and whatever television reception they got on their old set.
when she was fourteen, when the outbreak began, harriet noticed her brother had stopped going to his job and, instead, had bolted himself indoors with himself and their mother. neither of them would tell harriet what was going on so, in the middle of the night, she grabbed a crowbar and pried the boards of wood away. at first, all she felt was free, breathing in the air without a care in the world, yelling out in excitement as she turned to see her brother and mom barreling outside, desperate to shuffle her back in.  harriet wanted none of it though, having been sick of being locked up her entire life, though admittedly she had no idea of the horrors that faced her.
during all of the commotion, a group of the undead had shambled towards them, gripping harriet by the arm and nearly taking a bite out of her. instead, her mother jumped between them and took the blow, telling her children to run as she was devoured by the swarm. harriet and oliver did as they were told, taking off into the night, forcing themselves to learn how to survive.
it would be easy to say neither of them were ever the same because they weren’t, but there was a brief respite for harriet when she was eighteen where she believed things might improve. herself and her brother settled into a local community of survivors, one in which her brother thrived as an uptight, by the book enforcer with plenty of bullshit power, but she suffered. she hating being inside walls no matter how large the boundaries were and so she found herself sneaking out often, knife strapped to her thigh, only her wits to keep her alive.
her luck ran out one night when she was attacked by survivors from another group, a group whom had been treated terribly by the group her and her brother were now in, wanting to kidnap her as bait or punishment. harriet, of course, fought back, making sure to let these ‘sons of bitches’ know she belonged to no group. belonged to no one. this only served to make the survivors angrier, each of them ready to put a bullet in her skull when one of their own turned against them, killing them each in quick succession before taking a wounded harriet away to bind her wounds and keep her alive.
his name was will and, after what had happened, the two thought it best to stay away from both survivor groups for a while, spending the weekend tucked deep away in the nearby woods. despite harriet’s difficult personality and unwillingness to trust others, she found a fast friend in will, his outsider status causing the two to form a bond she didn’t exactly recognize. 
eventually, the pair returned to harriet’s group, with harriet requesting will be accepted into the community based upon the fact he saved her life. she promised she would finally start giving back to the community by becoming a mechanic, putting the skills she’d learned from books all those years ago to use, and will, with his vast knowledge of fighting and hunting, would be able to train others. the group reluctantly agreed, oliver and harriet’s relationship became strained beyond belief, but if they were outsiders, at least harriet and will were outsiders together, striking up a romantic relationship soon after. he taught her how to fight, how to hunt, and harriet taught him life wasn’t all about surviving, using her childhood as an example of why he should enjoy his life.
they lived like this for two years before one of the higher ups, one who had always been wary of will and his origin, decided he had stolen from rations. stealing from rations was a death sentence offense and everybody knew it and, due to how often they kept to themselves, no one dared defend them. even oliver, who still maintained that he loved his sister dearly, did little to fight for the man she loved. will was executed without trial, harriet beat her brother to a bloody pulp, and left the community behind.
during the time she spent on her own, harriet found herself drawn in further and further by the idea of vengeance. she killed many, mainly to satiate the empty pit she felt inside her stomach, the insufferable feeling that refused to wane even as the months dragged by. wherever she went she left a trail of undead and human in her wake, hands nearly stained red from her travels, the carefree girl who had been happy to simply see the outdoors was dead before she had the chance to live.
she spent a year on her own before finding the current community, only settling because she’d severely injured her left ankle. she quickly showed them her capabilities as a mechanic, though keeping her other talents hidden and her entire backstory hidden, and made sure they knew it’d be a mistake to turn her away. 
in the six months she’s been here she’s kept entirely to herself, the scowl on her face usually enough to turn people away, though when that isn’t enough she’s happy to be a total, unjustified asshole. her first solution to problems used to be violence but, since she’s not keen on searching for a new safezone rn, she tries to keep her temper under wraps. super impatient, only trusts herself to do a job correctly and thinks everyone is shitty underneath whatever facade they put on. she’s a bit keener to accept people like her however, aka people that don’t quite fit in, and if she were to make any close bonds they’d either have to try pretty damn hard, be persecuted by someone like she has been, or be willing to put up with her. 
LITERALLY . summary ? bitter af . just super bitter . think the most bitter coffee you’ve ever had and times it by ten . she’s that bitter .
