Being a teacher is honestly one of the noblest jobs there is. It is hard, and you don’t get paid enough, but you do it anyway because you want to help kids learn. You want to share how awesome writing and the English language can be. You have my utmost respect for being a teacher and I wish you well. I know the past few weeks have been especially difficult for a lot of teachers and I just wanted to let you know that you got this. You’re awesome.

Oh, this is so kind! And very well-timed considering the difficulty of the day. 💚

Thank you for taking the time to send it!

What I love about Chloé Zhao is that she accepts the good & the bad criticism about her movie. She doesn't point fingers or blame anyone, like other directors. I respect her for that. Even thought a lot of people are being unfair with her and the movie, she is the bigger person.

When other movies from big franchises flop, we always see directors blaming x, y and z. And Chloe Zhao is just like "oh you don't like it? thanks for watching ^^."

Actually she is busy reading drukkari on ao3, so she doesn't care.

I love your Mace Windu unfucks the timeline headcanons. Have your written it as a fic, or can I write that idea, maybe including your headcanons and dialogue interactions? I would give you full credit for everything that is yours of course. The idea for the fic, the inspiration, and any of your scenes I would use. It'd be an honor to write it, seriously. 1/2

2/2 If you have written it, link please? Because I need that fic yesterday. Ps. I don't mean to come across as like, demanding or anything sorry if I did.

Thank you, and it’s cool! I have not written it myself, though I know a couple of people have written things based on the concept (some more loosely based than others, I believe, but such is the way of fandom). Unfortunately I am not great at keeping track of them, but I’m sure they’re all linked somewhere in the tag. Just . . . the tag is pretty, uh, pretty full at this point. Cough. 

If you want to write it yourself, though, totally feel free, and you can absolutely use anything I wrote for it in the process. I’m not particularly possessive of my headcanons/meta, especially considering I usually got the original idea from someone else anyway, haha. All I ask is that anyone using them gives me credit and links me so I can see it!

So in several places it is talked about how in Romans Paul is condemning the exchange of natural relationships for unnatural ones and how it could very likely mean abandoning ones spouse in favor of someone of the same gender when you are not gay as going against your heterosexuality would be the unnatural thing. My question is what about bi people then? Are they saying it would be wrong to be in a same sex relationship with someone because you could be in a opposite sex relationship instead 1/2

2/2 or do you think that is just internalized biphobia at work? Ps. Thanks for the resources and stuff. It has helped a lot.

______

Hey there! Great question. For a TL;DR, i’m going to sum this post up by saying that according to that interpretation of Romans, a bisexual person is acting within their personal nature in a relationship with someone of their own gender or with someone of another gender. Thus it is not wrong to choose to be with someone of the same gender! Either is fine :)

Okay, now for my long-winded reply. 

____________

The argument about “nature”

For anyone reading this post who is unsure what @crazynerdandproud is referencing, unless i’m mistaken they are talking about people like Matthew Vines in God and the Gay Christian and the creators of hoperemainsonline who respond to Christians who claim that Romans 1:26-27 condemns same-sex activity by arguing that no, Paul is not claiming that such sexual activity is unnatural for everyone. Before explaining that a little further, here’s Romans 1:26-27 – 

“For this reason God gave them up to degrading passions. For even their females exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the males, leaving the natural use of the female, burned in their lust for one another, males with males committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.” 

In a lecture he gave on “The Bible and Homosexuality,” Matthew Vines uses the viewpoint mentioned in this ask to explain his interpretation of what’s going on with this term “natural”: 

‘The women, [Paul] says, “exchanged” natural relations for unnatural ones. And the men “abandoned” relations with women and committed shameful acts with other men. Both the men and the women started with heterosexuality—they were naturally disposed to it just as they were naturally disposed to the knowledge of God—but they rejected their original, natural inclinations for those that were unnatural: for them, same-sex behavior. Paul’s argument about idolatry requires that there be an exchange; the reason, he says, that the idolaters are at fault is because they first knew God but then turned away from him, exchanged Him for idols. Paul’s reference to same-sex behavior is intended to illustrate this larger sin of idolatry. But in order for this analogy to have any force, in order for it to make sense within this argument, the people he is describing must naturally begin with heterosexual relations and then abandon them. But that is not what we are talking about. Gay people have a natural, permanent orientation toward those of the same sex; it’s not something that they choose, and it’s not something that they can change. They aren’t abandoning or rejecting heterosexuality—that’s never an option for them to begin with. And if applied to gay people, Paul’s argument here should actually work in the other direction: If the point of this passage is to rebuke those who have spurned their true nature, be it religious when it comes to idolatry or sexual, then just as those who are naturally heterosexual should not be with those of the same sex, so, too, those who have a natural orientation toward the same sex should not be with those of the opposite sex. For them, that would be exchanging “the natural for the unnatural” in just the same way. We have different natures when it comes to sexual orientation.’

Vines goes on to discuss how our modern concepts of sexual orientation did not exist in Paul’s day and what that means for his argument, which i appreciate. You can everything he says about Romans 1:26-27 and its context in the link i made above the excerpt. 

_____________

Bi people’s nature

So yeah to sum that up, for people who agree with Vines’ argument around Romans 1:26-27, a straight person abandoning their inherent orientation for a person of the same gender goes against their nature, and it follows that a gay person abandoning their inherent orientation for a person of the “opposite” assigned binary gender goes against their nature. 

Vines does not take the time to keep going through all the various sexualities humans can have (as far as i know; perhaps he does somewhere that i’ve not seen), and i really wish he did. Because i agree with you, @crazynerdandproud – without it being explicitly stated, it might be difficult to extrapolate what someone like Vines thinks about a bisexual person’s nature – or an asexual person’s, or a person with any of the other numerous sexualities beyond homosexual and heterosexual. 

But based on what he does say, i’m pretty sure that scholars who argue that Romans 1:26-27 can be interpreted as a condemnation not of all same-sex activity but of any individual going against their personal nature would say that bi people can be with someone of the same gender or another gender and still be acting within their own nature. 

For a bi person, any option would be “the natural thing” – you can be with a man or a woman or nonbinary person and still be acting according to your own nature.  

________

A same-sex relationship is just as good and holy as any other relationship

Here’s the final thing i wanna say at last!

In asking this question, i feel like you might still be struggling to unlearn an insidious message that society feeds all of us: that same-sex/LGBT/queer relationships are less valid, less legitimate, and otherwise inferior to cishet relationships / a relationship with one cis man and one cis woman. (Or you may have found a resource that implies this and don’t believe it yourself.) 

i have heard people express support of gay people being in a same-sex relationship because “they don’t have any other options” / “they don’t have a choice”; while withholding support of bi people who are in a same-sex relationship because “they could choose to be in a straight relationship.” Pardon my french, but that’s total bullshit.

Just because a bi person “can” end up with someone of the opposite binary sex does not mean that they have to. Any relationship founded on mutuality and love can be affirmed by God and used to bear good fruit. Same-sex relationships aren’t “okay” just because the people in them “can’t help it” – they are good and holy because they cultivate love and respect and mutual support and growth!

i hope this helps! Let me know if i totally misinterpreted your question or forgot to answer part of it.

Oh my Chuck I really need to read your gay American revelution time travel book as soon as it comes out. Is it almost done? Can you tell me when it will cccome out? Because right now I am more excited for this book than I am for Oathbringer. (Oathbringer is a book in my favorite book series written by my favorite author, so yeah, that's how excited I am for your book)

Wow, my dude, I am…I’m flattered.  Like, beyond words.  And I’m incredibly sorry to have to disappoint you, but that book is currently 9K words long and less than 20 pages, because I just started it last week for NaNoWriMo.  That being said, if you’re still interested I’m happy to talk about it, although I reserve the right to keep plot points under wraps, and I have a whole tag about it under “The AmRev Time Travel Nonsense”!

I also have a bunch of other original novels in various states of progress, including:

the most popular one based on how I really don’t like Narnia endings about being kicked out of fantasy worlds at the end of the story (about halfway completed, currently on hold for NaNo)

the one about lesbian revolutionaries with super powers (on hold until I’m less fucking depressed about the state of the world)

the one about the Biblical Apocalypse (halfway edited for being pitched to an agent)

and other stuff like short stories and novellas posted in their entirety under my original work tag!

#original work #the amrev time travel nonsense #i am a vending machine #compliments are scary #wow i've never had someone actually come looking to...buy a book? #like? #i cannot express how much i wish i had an actual amazon page to send you to my man #but i'm very small and just managed to get over my nerves about sharing my writing like #last year #also i used to have an agent but she closed up shop and abandoned all her authors high and dry without a word #so like....i don't have an agent anymore #.....my friends are going to lord this post over my head for the next two million years i hope you're proud of yourself #also i spent the last two years completing a four year pre-med degree so there's also that #as far as 'why i don't have an amazon page to give you' #but yeah i'm always thrilled to talk about my characters! #i won't give away major plot points but i'll talk to you for three years about my characters and shit #finx can confirm #idiot teenagers with a queue #crazynerdandproud #asked and answered #positive reinforcement

@nakianshuri​ - ahhhh, your tags (esp that first one!) made me smile~ =w= and...i confess. you’re not the only one to point out the age issue, and i explained to the one other reader who caught that snafu that honestly it was my tired brain doing funky math (involving subtracting s13 from the yr 2019 or smthg like that idk, yikes 😂 ), but! i don’t think that impacts things too badly, and i’d hate to attempt fixing the content since so many people loved it the way it currently stands. alas, i’ll just have to write more accurate *lol* tiva fam fics in the future! :D

a little piece of perfection tiva fanfiction
