I feel like this needs to be said because I keep seeing stuff like ‘if you rb from me too much i’ll block you’ in people’s bios.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REBLOG FROM ME AS MUCH AND AS OFTEN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU WANT!! My tagging system was developed specificallybecause I know what it’s like to have a hyperfixation and want to sift through every single post about that thing. I tag every post for that exact reason. You aren’t bothering me. The notifications don’t bother me. It’s all fine.
Seeing someone reblog a whole string of posts from me, especially when it’s clear that they clicked on one of my tags and wound up going through 27 pages of it, delights me in EXACTLY the same way as seeing one person kudos all of my fics in one fandom. I did good! I supplied the content they got hyperfixated on tonight! Good job me!!
I know it’s upsetting to hear that the trio kinda separated after Marcy moved and as they got through high school, especially after the events of the show, but it’s told to us that even though the girls aren’t as close as they once were, they’re still close.
They’re close enough to still get together for Anne’s birthday at age 23.
They may not talk or see each other every day but that’s okay.
Some friendships work like that.
You don’t always have to talk to someone all the time to still be best friends with them.
The calamity trio will always be together. Just in their own ways.
Maybe the reason people find the lesbian label too restricting is out of a combination of:
It being the only sexual identity to the complete exclusion of men as both the subject and object of desire, and most people (even lesbians ourselves!) aren’t used to anything that completely excludes men, much less on the realm of sexuality.
Lesbians being the smallest sexual identity group, so naturally most people don’t relate to how attraction works for us.
If you, not being a lesbian, try to force yourself into the lesbian label, you’re gonna feel restricted, same as any bi or gay person would feel trying to make themselves fit the straight label. Do you understand that whether a label feels rigid or not is entirely subjective? It WILL feel restrictive if it’s not the right one for you.
I, being a lesbian, did in actual real life feel desperately restricted and suffocated by the bisexual label as well as the straight label, when I tried to force myself into each of them. I was always performing and policing my unattraction to men and punishing myself when I found myself not liking men “enough” (at all).
I didn’t feel unrestricted when I identified as bi, I felt trappedandconstrictedandthat’s not the fault of the bi label itself and much less was it a sign that the bi label needs redefining, it was a sign that I wasn’t bisexual.
That’s what we mean when we say if the lesbian label feels too rigid or restrictive to you that might be because you’re just not a lesbian, or you might have a lot of internalized lesbophobia (I definitely had the idea that “not giving men a chance” was mean/uptight/rigid/cruel so I didn’t want to be a lesbian in part because I didn’t want to be a Mean Dyke to the Poor Men who might desire me and thus had a “right” to a chance with me).
It’s not an insult at least when I say it. It’s just a fact.
Ah, I see all the fun went away the moment I went on a mission. *shrugs* Typical.
Of course. You are the fun. *chuckles*
Well duh. How are the kids?!
They’re doing good! KP, Liz, and I have spent a lot of time creating new games to play around the house. I’d tell you about them, but they’re “top secret” as KP said.
Ah, keep those secrets! I’ll respect the little guy’s wishes. Peter liking MIT?
Oh yeah, I believe he’s really liking it there.
That kid of yours is gonna go places Stevie, I’m telling you.
Mind if I pop by? I’ve got so much to fill you in on.
He’s a genius, I swear.
Come on over!
Open on up, Im right outside!
*opens the door* Welcome back to my home. Been a while since you’ve seen the place. *chuckles*
Hey!!! It has been! I brought guests!
*Myles and the girls come inside*
Hope you’ve got some coloring books…
I have kids who have been stuck inside more than they want to be. Of course, I have coloring books. *laughs* Hi kids!
*Myles runs up to give his uncle a hug*
He’s turning 3 this year…that’s absolutely crazy.
*hugs Myles* Three?! *pulls away and looks at Myles* Noooo, my little buddy can’t be three already! *boops his nose*
I’m telling you! He’s growing so fricking fast! I can’t keep up. At the rate he’s at, he’ll look like Uncle Steve at 8.
Hey, I look great for my age. But maybe not if this look was on an 8-year-old. *laughs*
as a fan and just someone who pays attention to them, what joon said finally puts many things into perspective. bts always promoted as “authentic artists” but for a while now that narrative felt very hollow, since it already felt like they dont have any control over their sound and image for ages and I’m glad joon finally adressed this
I feel like a lot of older fans have felt this and we have kept silent for bts and to know (actually hear him say it) joon (and bts) has felt it too…and to watch him cry over it…
he just had to cry, now I’m crying with him, dammit joon lol even if it is sad that they are going on hiatus as a group, I have nothing but high hopes for all their solo projects…honestly I think their music will be better now and I feel like that’s what they were trying to convey too, joon and hoseok can release some hot collaborations with western artists and jin and jimin can drop some beautiful korean ballads and I’m so excited for tae’s album you just know he is going to have some beautiful soulful songs and agust d can evolve and jungkook and his beautiful voice can shine…
It’s definitely no fun to think about jin enlisting and bts becoming distant, the way they’ve stayed as one unit makes even army feel invincible in a way, right? to have it all changed is scary for everyone. we’ve all had this varying degree of parasocial relationship with them to us and us to them…at the end of the day they are superstars with the world at their feet but the way joon speaks about not having time to grow and wanting to so badly hold onto a purpose is so relatable and human and endearing. joon cares so much for army, boy couldn’t wait to show off his tattoo, he speaks his love so earnestly, we all stan eachother baby and that’s okay and we will all be okay and like they said the best is yet to come.
