Immortal When Annoyed

buffy is bi but she won't figure this out until she's like ~35 and she has a whole crisis because she feels like she missed out on when she was *supposed* to be figuring out her sexuality because of the everything in her life from ages 15-22.

willow finds out sometime in like the 2000s that bisexuality is a thing and she can be more than just 'gay now' but still mostly dates women cos thats just kind of her scene. i wanna nod to the fact that oz just looked like every tboy and butch lesbian but i cant work it in smoothly here.

xander is bi but he's really gonna have to work on himself in other ways before he's ready to face that one

giles is bisexual but he does think that being into men was something he did when he was young and rebellious and crazy and that he's over it as a respected member of society. when willow first mentions bisexuality he kind of quietly goes on a journey of self discovery and acceptance. none of the scoobies find out until they see him kissing another guy at a gay bar and they have to do a whole thing where theyre grossed about being aware of giles' love live but theyre trying so hard not to be homophobic

angel** is bisexual & he also thinks that being gay was something he did when he was evil because being gay is evil and a sin. no obviously he doesnt think that willow or any of his gay friends are sinning but *he* needs to repress his sinful urges. a good 20% of this is that the man he most frequently had sex with when evil was spike and he just can't admit to being attracted to spike

spike is bisexual and like angel died right before sexuality became pathologized as a thing you were instead of a thing you chose to do or not and also thinks he only falls in love with/has sex with men because he's evil but unlike angel he has zero problem with this. he only wants to have evil sex anyway

tara i would say is definitely a lesbian. i dont have anything else to say on this

anya is bisexual and just cannot believe that anyone else isn't. why would you limit yourself?

faith thinks she's bisexual because she also thinks she's a Slut who doesnt care about men and that's the only reason why she doesn't form emotional attachments to them like she does with women or ever find them hot like she finds women hot it's because she's Bad not because she's gay

dawn's a lesbian i can just feel it i don't have more to say than i know a baby dyke when i see one

cordelia is a lesbian who thinks that all straight women (which obviously she is) don't really care for men and find women far more beautiful and would probably like dating women more instead but, well, sad! she can't!

*my credentials in saying this are that im currently getting a bachelor's in sociology & doing my bachelors thesis on understandings of sexuality & identity categories

No, it's not inappropriate. It is a really common feeling for a lot of autistic people society deems as "low support needs."

When I turned 17, we ordered a cake at the grocery store for my party, as we’d done many times before. If you wanted something written on the cake you’d write it into a section of the order form. We requested, very simply, “Happy Birthday Courtney”. When we went to pick it up the day of the party, this is what we got.

The bakery employees had absolutely no explanation for this. The order form, attached to the box, very clearly did not contain any of those extra names. Whomever had done the writing was no longer in, so there was no one to ask how this had happened. The fact that the name ‘Juan’ is misspelled bewilders me to this day. (I’ve never seen ‘Miley’ without the E, either, but it’s believable that someone might spell it that way.) Did this cake slip in from an alternate universe where I’m one quarter of a set of Hispanic quadruplets? Dyslexic Hispanic quadruplets, maybe?

This cake became the focal point of my party. At least two of my friends regularly called me ‘Courtney Mily Jaun Pablo’ for years to come. My siblings and I still reference it sometimes, eleven years later. It is probably the funniest thing ever to occur at any birthday celebration of my life, and may well remain so for the rest of my days.

No One Like You

now, it took us a while to realise it meant "(there is) no one like you". at first, we all parsed it as a botched "no one like(s) you"

And of course

#2: "hi [professor], hope you're doing well! unfortunately, I'm [sick/stuck at work/dead] and won't be able to submit [assignment] by [due date]. could I please have an extension? if not, is there anything else I could do to make up this credit? thanks so much, [op]"

The FIRST SENTENCE is the thing you want the recipient to do. Do not make them guess.

I want to let you know about ... (This email is to inform someone of something not to ask them to do anything)

Could you please do ... (This is a request. You want them to do something).

I'm looking into x and wondering if you can help me (this is also a request but for information instead of an action).

People do not want to read an email and even if they do read it, most people are skimming and not interested. Tell them what you want first, then provide context or other information (when you need a thing is often key). If the email is informational, you can even add "you don't need to do anything, this is just to keep you informed!" People will appreciate not having to figure out what you want from them.

If you can't articulate what you want the recipient to do with the message, you are not ready to email them. I read too many emails where I have no idea what the person wants from me.

now i cant do anything. i just have to block his number, keep doing survival sex work and pray i dont get hurt anymore.
