just a reminder that all the bg3 companions are in fact bi or pan- i see a lot of people headcanoning karlach as lesbian, which- yes i get that sexuality is complicated and you’re allowed to have headcanons, but if your only reasoning for that headcanon is “well just look at her” or something along the lines of “stereotypical butch lesbian”, you’re gonna need to ask yourself why you’re basing sexuality off of stereotypes
i’ve seen the same thing with astarion- people headcanon him as gay with their only reason being “stereotypical flamboyant gay man” despite him a, not actually being that flamboyant in the first place- his flamboyancy is a mask he uses- and b, able to have sexual and romantic relationships with women in game.
stereotypes are not all sexuality is, stop trying to make it into that

One of these days I'll finish writting the fanfic of this tiny Trans Reversed-Love Square Miraculous Ladybug AU that has been eating my brain:
— Adrien Agreste is Kitty Noir. Reclusive homeschooled rich supermodel by day, Paris superheroine by night.
—Adrien thinks of Kitty as just a persona he can play with, like a videogame avatar. ('It tootally doesn't mean anything that Kitty feels right, and like home, and like freedom, what are you talkikg about guys?' )
—Kitty is Ladybug's partner in fighting agains crime. Kitty brings the 'there's always time for a joke' vibe to the superhero work that Ladybug pretends not to appreciate.
—One night, Kitty is saved from an akumatized villain attack by a civilian named Marinette, and is heartstruck by her kindness and bravery. (Ladybug was busy that night, if you can believe it.)
—Kitty visits her at her balcony the next night, and Marinette tells her about feeling lonely at school. Kitty knows loneliness, and their night meetings at the balcony become a common ocurrence.
—They become friends. One night, Kitty flirts. Marinette responds (Because tonight she is just a normal girl with a normal life, why wouldn't she?) And Kitty well, she is kind. Her jokes aren't cruel, and she listens to her.
—And Kitty likes the way light hits her hair, and how clumsy and determined she is. Is this what having a friend is like? Wishing time would stop so she could keep lisening to Marinette?
—And ups! Kitty is getting close, and moving in circles around Marinette and Marinette feels safe. Kitty is kind of funny. And Marinette realizes she wants some funny in her life.
—Kitty leans. Marinette kisses her. She is not sure why she did that. Oh! Marinette retreats, but Paris at night makes Kitty's green eyes shine like stained glass. Wait, does she like girls? Does she like this girl?
—Kitty kisses her again, and Kitty is in heaven. Alone. Alone is a far away word. For a second the whole world feels like home. But stop.
—Kitty (or Adrien?) pulls away. 'Because this isn't right' 'Because you are just my fan, you don't know me.'
'Because Kitty isn't real... right?'
—Kitty leaves. Is not ethical, it can't be. They both agree. Just friends. 'Sometimes, I'll catch a glipse of you in the moonlight.'
—Marinette, see, now she was a problem. Ladybug can't be in love with her partner, no way. Is not right, is too distracting. And they have people to save!
—So Ladybug pretends everything is ok. 'Kitty, we have to be focused at all times' she tells her, trying to ignore how pretty her smile is.
—But duty is first, Paris is counting on them. Even if Kitty calling her 'My Lady' keeps her awake at night. 'All girls fantasize about their friends like that, right?'
—Adrien sits on his bed, and thinks about what would happen if he could be Kitty all the time. If Kitty is just a character, just a game, why did it felt so good, so real, to kiss Marinette?
—Marinette liked Kitty, and Kitty wasn't even trying. 'You are so beautiful, you know that, right?' She had said one night, laughing, after Kitty had make her dance. So spontaneous, she had blushed after.
—He was allowed to like that thought, right? Kitty was beautiful. He (she?) was beautiful. 'Am I, beautiful?' How much of Kitty is acting, and how much of her is true?
—Kitty doesn't visit often now. Marinette overthinks. 'She moved on, of course she did, why wouldn't she, I said it was ok, why doesn't it feel ok?'
—One day, Ladybug "accidentally" sees Kitty sneak into the Agreste Mansion. Oh! So she really meet someone else. 'She used to sneak into my house like that' And she meet no other than golden boy Adrien Agreste. Supermodel Adrien Agreste. Rich and Misterious Adrien Agreste.
—Of course, I mean, this Adrien guy is kinda cute. And Kitty is cute. Match made in heaven right? Is non of her buisness anyways.
—But Adrien is a little too misterious, right? He doesn't even go to school! And what was that Alya told her the other day? Oh! He is friends with Chloe?? Too suspicious...
—Is ok, she is just worried about Kitty. They are partners, gals, Marinette just wants to make sure Kitty's boy is the right one. 'What does she sees in him anyways?'
—Adrien meets Marinette one day, at a gala, she designed a hat for him! She is wonderful, and Adrien wants to say hi, but she keeps avoiding him. 'Is just the nerves for the event, she toootally didn't roll her eyes at me.'
—Adrien meets Nino. He is great. He tells him about school, and Adrien dreams about how cool it would be to go to school. He asks his dad, and he actually considers it?
Nino supports him, even Chloe vouches for him. Father says yes, he can go to school!.
—Adrien arrives at his first day, and oh! There is Marinette! How great is this!
—Marinette raises her head, and oh! There is Adrien Agreste! How great is this?

Hello friends. I am trying to raise money to help with paying for repairs to the foundation of my house. It is being destroyed by Carpenter bees! They’re tearing through the stone, the cement, getting to the wood underneath. Pics of the damage at the bottom of the post.
We’ve been working on removing the bees but we’re still going to need to get the foundation fixed. To this end, I’ve made a Kickstarter to raise funds to sell my Sploot Bees, Pride colours. And we reached that goal! So I decided to attempt a stretch goal, at $2500, releasing 7 more colourways including Genderqueer, Gay Men, Aromantic, Lesbian, Pansexual, and two extra colourways being a Systems Flag and just a pretty orange variant.
Also, here’s the original set that WILL be produced thanks to all of the amazing backers who have contributed so far:
Asexual, Genderfluid, Nonbinary, Bisexual, Rainbow Pride, Transexual!
I’m extremely happy that the above set has been funded and can only hope the second set goes through as well. This could be the start of a business for me to help out around the house, with more than just the foundation. I can’t work a normal job, so this is my best effort right now. Please share this around if you can, even if you can’t back the project, to help me on the way. Especially because the foundation is in terrible condition, and we’re really worried about collapse.
Bee damage below!
This is the general state of the foundation as a whole. 100 years old, cracks between the stones, but the bees are burrowing straight through the cement, which you can see in the upper left.
Here you can see how they kick out material to make the holes. We took these pictures when they were asleep, but hopefully we can get video of them doing this later.
Maybe the most insane part… THEY’RE BURROWING THROUGH THE STONES. If they’re doing this to the stones of the foundation, imagine the damage going on beneath it!
