Hey you know what's super funny about the idea of "good bi rep"?

For a character to be canonically bi you have to make sure and establish that they're attracted to multiple genders. Not all mediums allow you to get inside every character's head or show what they're thinking. Flirting can be read ambiguously, and god forbid they flirt with a character who's not into them and be read as pushy or predatory. So it can be super handy to just mention an ex or two! But you better not mention too many exes because that would make them a slutty bisexual which is (checks notes) bad, and you definitely better be careful about making them poly, because that might make them, uh... greedy. Oh, and those exes? They better be perfectly amiable breakups with no conflict or drama, because it's bad to represent queer people in toxic or abusive relationships (especially queer women! very bad), and you definitely can't have them have lost a partner if the partner was queer because that's "bury your gays..." You should probably also eliminate all trauma from their backstory, just to be safe. You should probably also make sure they're not involved in crime, deception, or anything of the sort, because that would make them "deviant" and a stereotype.

But don't worry! Once you've carefully crafted your nice, monogamous, experienced-but-not-too-experienced Lawful Good bi character, you will be rewarded with your audience deeming them "boring" and quickly passing them over for other characters. :)

#so much this #and audiences are so quick to ignore or erase bisexuality even when it’s explicitly indicated #idk there’s this perception that for a bisexual reading to be valid it needs to be established beyond all conceivable doubt #which means you fall even deeper into the trap op talks about #bisexuality #queer representation

May I please have an obscure parrot today?

Hmmmm, I'm not sure if this one is obscure or not, but it's not one that I see phots of very much.

Saffron-headed Parrot (Pyrilia pyrilia), family Psittacidae, order Psittaciformes, found in Panama, Colombia, and Venezuela

A little pegasus and the full moon. I don't use gouache often, but I wanted to test combining it with watercolours and I kinda dig the outcome!

Funniest thing in the world when people write an AU extremely different from canon, but they’re not willing to give up on the character building it created for their blorbos. Girlies out there fighting for their life recreating a relationship formed on a doomed arctic exploration in 1848 by replicating that same dynamic in a Great British Bake Off AU.

I feel like people don't understand what fetishization really means & it has a lot of well intentioned lefty types like afraid of being attracted to people

Europarlamenttivaalit on tulossa tänä keväänä ja koko Suomi on yhtä vaalipiiriä, eli saa äänestää ketä vaan mistä vaan.

Olis aika hienoo jos Suomitumppu äänestäis kommunisteja. Esim. mun kaveri Jiri Mäntysalo on ehdolla ja se on tosi hieno tyyppi ja sil on tumppumaiset arvot kohdallaan. Samoin Tiina Sandberg on myös tumppumainen hyvä tyyppi.

.

Mut muuten näissä vaaleissa pätee sama systeemi kuin kaikissa muissakin vaaleissa Suomessa, eli jokainen ääni joka annetaan ei-persuille/kokoomukselle heikentää persujen/kokoomuksen tulosta, koska jokainen annettu ääni* kasvattaa kokonaisäänimäärää ja siten pienentää sitä prosenttia jonka persut/kokoomus saa kokonaisäänimäärästä. Ja mitä pienempi heidän saamansa prosentti, sitä selkeempi viesti että painukaa vittuun persut/kokoomus.

Eli ei tartte kokea suurta paloa kenenkään ehdokkaan puolesta, mut käykää ihanat ystävät ainakin äänestämässä persuja/kokoomusta vastaan.

.

* Ikävä kyllä vain hyväksytyt äänet lasketaan, eli käänteiskentaurin äänestämisestä ei ole "haista vittu Riikka Purra" -viestin lähettämiselle hyötyä. Tähän tarkoitukseen täytyy olla oikea ehdokas jota äänestää.

Favorite thing about Dracula Daily so far is that yesterday I read a post that had in-depth, well-researched analysis that could easily be mistaken for a published literary criticism of Dracula, except it casually makes a passing reference to "the polycule" without feeling the need to elaborate

once you stop automatically accepting it as the default and start to notice how like 99.99% of feminine characters in anything, art, movies, games, etc. are literally skinnier than the average irl woman it's gonna make you go fucking insane.

putting a gun to the head of every character designer. make some fat women. make some muscular women. make femboys with chub. make femme nonbinary people with some damn meat on them. unlearn your misogynistic association between femininity and skinniness as inherently linked or perish from this world.

"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "their platonic relationship in the source material is far more dynamic and complex than the sanitized personalities they gain as a result of shipping" way

crazy that in the 1970s they were like, "fine, women can play sports. but because they're innately less athletic than men, only in a special ghettoized League For The Frail And Delicate where they get paid less 😊". And not only is that still the system in 2023, but viciously lashing out at the smallest challenges to that system gets framed as Feminist Praxis
