We never really got to see them hang out one on one during the events of Camp Cretaceous (except once, and they were competing to see who’s lack of a childhood gave them the better skill set so) Idk, we only get a snippet of their dynamic in Chaos Theory, I just think their friendship (especially as adults) would be pretty interesting :3

(Yes, some of these are headcanons ^^)

(Look, you don’t just sprain/break your ankle on concrete and not have lasting consequences without the proper treatment. Yaz was running on that foot on the daily !! And you can see it still affected her all the way through Season 3 !!! So, yeah, Hits her with the chronic pain beam)

( ‼️Also Major Chaos Theory Spoilers ‼️)

[ALT ID: A digital illustration of Malia and Callebero, two teenagers, in what appears to be a throne room of sorts. Malia is sitting in the throne, smirking up at the Callebero, who leans on the back of the throne and looks down at her with a somewhat unamused expression. Malia has dark skin and long locs and wears a coral, gold, and teal crop top and a gold pleated skirt. In her loose hand, she holds a small package wrapped in paper. Callebero wears dark robes and a cape and leans on a saber. Behind both of them is a tapestry showing a knight falling off horseback as a lance pierces their chest while a second knight reaches for them.]

the seperation of lesbians and gay men is a travesty. "why are there so many historic gay bars and only like a handful of lesbian bars in the whole country" why are being gay and lesbian not the same thing in this context. you dont need to fuck everyone at the bar and it is a problem that needs to be addressed if these spaces arent mutually hospitable. and this applies to most gay/lesbian spaces imo

I hate men and their need to act like any emotional reactions you have while you’re on your period is just you being “hormonal” and “not yourself”

Craaaaazy how the most crucial developmental period on pern (the two years between the Southern Continent being officially “opened” and the discovery of AIVAS) happens in like a page and a half of Renegades, objectively a pretty forgettable and irrelevant book that isn’t even really about wider-world politics until the last little chunk

it's crazy to see a fandom basically crash and burn in a matter of months

[lightgaswaterelectricityrent]

apparently this is like the hottest take in the world but I think it's really rude to invite people to your wedding without a plus one like I gotta come by myself to watch you get married because I'm not already married. ok

Rational Me: we need to work on our paper

screencap from a longer post because some love for fandom "lurkers" actually. comments/kudos/likes/whatevers are not your payment for being in fandom ✌️

[ratatatastic]

you ever think about forsy being faced with an always have a small rock in your shoe or always have wet socks would you rather question and going "its not a fun situation... i would say yeah wet socks probably" like what possessed him to choose wet socks

What do you think of the Kinsey scale? I've seen some lgbt people oppose the idea that sexuality can be defined by a numbered scale like that.

The Kinsey Reports played an important role in challenging the prevailing sexual mores of the late 1940s (for men) and early 1950s (for women). They were among the first widely read 'scientific reports' on human sexuality that didn't see homosexual activity - not homosexuality as an innate orientation - as a symptom of a mental disorder requiring correction.

But the Kinsey Reports are product of their time, and I see the Kinsey scale as more of a hindrance than a help in the 21st century. I can't speak on the LG or heterosexual experience with the scale, but I think it:

Artificially differentiates between bisexual people based on our sexual history, for example, by reinforcing the idea that we're just "basically straight" or "basically gay."

Implies our sexuality is a spectrum, and not a discrete orientation like homosexuality and heterosexuality. I personally find all the discussions around "trying bisexuality" and "using bisexuality as a stepping stone" and "are you a straight or gay bisexual" comments really tired and offensive.

Obscures biphobia. I've written a little bit about this ages ago, but I think LGBT activism falls into the same traps as many other forms of social activism (outside of feminism) - it assumes that all discrimination and harm occur in the 'public' sphere (as hate crimes, denial of goods, services, and employment, and/or restrictive laws) (biphobia is overwhelmingly felt in the 'private' sphere, where we face the highest rates of domestic violence, addiction, and homelessness). The Kinsey scale encourages people to see bisexuality as a 'spectrum' between 'straight' and 'gay' and that, as a consequence, makes it harder to acknowledge how our discrete orientation can - and does! - impact our lives.

Sorry, this turned into a little bit of a rant. I don't think the Kinsey scale is a useful way of approaching sexuality, particularly when used to classify bisexuals... (I'd be delighted if any heterosexual, gay or lesbian people wanted to add something about how they understand the scale!).
