Mspec Monogamy Flags

Monogamous Pan Pride Flag

Monogamous Ply Pride Flag

Monogamous Omni Pride Flag

PSA: these are provisional as I'm busy right now for a more elaborated design, because some of these require the blue/pink colors and bisected triangles/separated rectangles.

soo this little silly is kind of a thing i made cuz of a class in uni. but yes a silly lindwurm but they have been Realed... head and feet are 3d printed/painted with acrylics while the body is needle felted!

theyre not a super solid character or anything but actually they sort of are bcs they are a minor character in pareidolia. But i just thought it would be funny to make a lindwurm model especially with their weird long face

I want to talk a little bit about the use of the word "preference" in bisexual (and broader m-spec) spaces. I think that the word is used in a lot of different ways to mean a lot of different things, and sometimes it unintentionally conveys the wrong thing.

Plenty of people who identify as bisexual, or omnisexual, or polysexual, etc. are attracted to certain genders more frequently or more intensely than others. They might also be attracted to different genders in different ways.

For example, if someone is attracted to many types of women, but only very specific types of men, they're attracted to men and women differently. This difference also probably results in them finding women attractive more often than they find men attractive.

A lot of people would describe this as a "preference" for women, but as a bisexual/omnisexual person who experiences attraction in this way, I don't thinks that's necessarily the right word for this. It might be for some people, but while my attraction trends towards women, I wouldn't say that I prefer my partners be women.

Because that's all it is for me: a trend in my attraction. Not a preference. It's much easier for me to find an attractive woman than an attractive man (according to my own tastes, of course), but at the end of the day, if I find you attractive, I find you attractive, regardless of your gender.

I wouldn't prefer that the men I'm attracted be women instead, because I don't prefer women; they just tend to be more attractive to me than men are. But there are some seriously cute guys out there, and my predominant attraction to women doesn't erase that, nor does it make my attraction to men feel less important than my attraction to women. It's just less frequent.

I noticed this problem with the word "preference" after I started dating my boyfriend, when he said "I'm not what you prefer."

It made me realize that... No, I don't have a "preference" for women. I wouldn't prefer that he be a woman, and I wouldn't prefer to date a woman over him. I'm attracted to women more frequently than men, but my attraction to him is not trumped or lessened by my general trend of attraction to women. I find him so fucking attractive.

You can also have a preference which goes in a different direction than the trends of your attraction. For some time, despite my attraction trending towards women, I preferred to date men. That's where my boyfriend is currently at as well. So, clearly, there is a distinction between the trends in one's attraction and the preferences one may hold.

Are there any other bi/m-spec people who feel this way about the use of "preference" in discussions of attraction?

[Image description: A paperback copy of Ravenloft: Knight Of The Black Rose by James Lowder, on a wooden table. The cover art features a knight standing a shadowy castle hall beside a torch. He holds a longsword in both hands, blade pointed downwards. End description]

I found this last week in a box of SFF novels donated to my local library and thought, “That sounds like a Dragonlance title.” I was not familiar with Ravenloft, but i took a closer look and it starts out on Krynn, with Lord Soth as the main character. So of course it came home with me. ;)

What gets me is that, even though i did enough research to compile a six page (six pages!) list of Dragonlance books to work my way through, i never heard that there was an isekai horror series owned by TSR that featured Dragonlance characters.

My list is incomplete. More research is necessary.

so. ummie. 1 liner call?

*This includes anyone who experiences attraction to multiple genders, even if you don't necessarily identify with the multisexual label specifically.

**Polysexual is commonly used as a specific term for people who are attracted to multiple genders, but distinctly not all genders. However, it still sees some use as an umbrella term for all people attracted to multiple genders, regardless of how many.

***BOP stands for bisexual, omnisexual, polysexual/pansexual. A plus (+) may be used to indicate inclusion of other identities involving attraction to multiple genders, beyond these four labels.

Okay, if this isn’t good, tell me what to fix and I’ll redo it.

Femarsic Pride Flag

Femarsic, femmarsic, femmascic, masfemaric, femasric, or mascfemaric: an umbrella term for those attracted to men and women; being both mascic and femaric (either fluidly or simultaneously).

This includes those who are, for example: ambisexual/ambiromantic, abrosexual/abroromantic or otherwise m-spec; womasexual maromantic or masexual womaromantic; centriorientation and multiorientation of gyne- and andro-.

The flag was designed by duwang-flags-inc. The term was coined by me. Not to be confused with femascic or marsic.

Books of 2024: THE WAY SPRING ARRIVES AND OTHER STORIES, edited by Yu Chen and Regina Kanyu Wang (feat. first daffodils!!)

I've been pining after this one since the hardback released, but I'm more of a paperback person so I Waited, and in my Waiting I missed the seasonal alignment to start reading it (come on: I can't be expected to read a collection with this title any time except at the very beginning of spring, right??). But! Guess what!! Spring is once again Arriving, and things are starting to bud and bloom, and I love that!
