Would you all mind spreading this post around aspec and inclusionist circles? I’d really like to make sure ace, aro, and inclusionist lesbians have their voices heard, especially since some of the flags were made by exclusionists. Thank you so much, I would really appreciate it!
ive never watched any anie (besides maybe an anime movie or pokemon or aggretsuko but that doesnt count) but ive never seen a full on anime series and i heard good things about fma:b
is it a goof first time anime? im curious about it. or should i go for some thing else im bored and i want to watch somehting
okay! im watching FMA: brotherhood (since u guys said that was the better version) should i watch the dubbed version? i dont normally like subs. but did the dub change anything drastically about it? (like a shitty 4kidz dub where they remove violence or the gays ™ or whatever.)
is it ok to watch the netflix dub?
markiplier escaped the LA gangs and went into the anime world to hide
You will look back on this & hopefully be able to laugh at your Markiplier joke…
so you know that scene after simon has been outed and he’s in his room and just breaks down, throwing pillows and sobbing? that’s the most honest and real scene i’ve seen in my entire life about being outed. i absolutely lost my shit watching it because i knew that exact feeling- after the shock the absolute mix of anger and humiliation, and shame. it was one of the most painful and important things about the movie, and honestly, no straightcis person who watches that is ever going to understand that exact feeling and feel that same pain.
Hey. Sapphicatthedisco. I understand what it feels like. I understand and feel the pain. And I’m straight. So.. No generalizing, ok?
Don’t Hey. Sapphicatthedisco me lol no you don’t
LGBT+ people: wow being outed before ready is horrible and incredibly dangerous and humiliating, and literally only LGBT+ people can possibly understand it because cishet people can’t actually be outed
Str8 people: actually as a Straight Person I take offense that you left me out of this we have feelings too once my friend told someone that I’m straight and they didn’t react at all can you believe it, the injustice
For all the talk that goes on about how aromantic people can have strong relationships too, and that platonic relationships don’t automatically fall a tier below romantic relationships
it does not make you any less if you are an aromantic person who does not have that/is not interested in those relationships
You could have a super close friend or two you share everything with, or a group of casual friends that it’s fun to hang out with, or a batch of distant aquaintances you enjoy the company of now and then
Or you could be happier solitary and don’t feel a strong need for intimate relationships of any sort, platonic or romantic
And you will be no less for it.
I might personally get super angry when people assume aromantic people can’t have powerful and intimate relationships with people, simply because those are the relationships I am most invested in myself–but pulling the whole “how dare you say we’re not human, we have intimate relationships too!” is just as gross as the “how dare you say we’re not human, we have romantic relationships too!” angle we face from parts of the asexual community.
Our worth and health and humanity is not defined by how closely our relationships can mirror heterosexual monogamy
This is a project I had meant to do a long time ago, at the time I didn’t feel that my art style was right for it though. Also, story time! The reason that vaporeon has two variations is because I couldn’t decide which one looked better, so have two! I hope that you all enjoy these as much as I do! ~ ♡
with the help of my friends, I made a new lesbian flag that has a meaning since the widespread lesbian flag we use has no meaning and was just posted as the lipstick/femme lesbian flag on a blog back in 2010. I know a lot of lesbians including myself who would rather have a flag with a meaning, so my friends & I are hoping this is gonna catch on eventually!
from top to bottom, the meanings of the colors are: loyalty/trust, freedom to love women, trans/nb lesbians, serenity, and pride/love for oneself.
after a lot of input from people on this post, I’ve realized some things that need fixing about the colors of this flag. with the help of my friends again, we’ve made modifications to the flag. the two top colors have changed to fit better together, and the flag as a whole is more saturated. thank you all for your criticisms on the flag because that helped a lot with fixing it! this is the finalized version:
since a couple of people were asking as well, it is okay to use this flag as icons/headers/etc and is okay to use without credit but I would appreciate it since the flag is fairly new. I also 100% don’t mind people who aren’t lesbians reblogging this, as long as you’re being respectful and are spreading this for your lesbian followers I appreciate it!
special thanks to @cerebrite & @maidofluck for helping me with the original flag, and @lesbistani & a friend who does not wanna be mentioned for helping with the finalized version!
this flag is also a lot more inclusive of butch lesbians because the old flag was based off of the lipstick lesbian flag, which was a flag for femmes, and made butch women feel isolated from its symbology
this flag is brand new! so it doesn’t carry that connotation. i am butch and i love this cool new flag, personally
