you've gotta be kind to yourself no matter what

this is twice as true in the winter

the world isn't ending and you don't need to kill yourself it's literally december. it's december. and you need to be nice to yourself.

remembering again that perplexing post by someone who claimed everyone should get standards because the locked tomb didn't have any substantial explicit queer representation and the only definitive gay thing they found in all of it was judith's unrequited and socially discouraged feelings for marta that got brought up in as yet unsent. I saw that post before I read the books and already knew it was wrong, but I assumed it would be at least a theoretically conceivable take to have, like maybe the sapphic relationships were clearly set up for endgame romance arcs but they hadn't kissed yet or something so no one was technically a couple. and then gtn was five hundred pages of gideon expressing boundless sexual attraction to women every three sentences like she needs it to live. cavalierhood is her job and lesbianing is her one and only hobby. how on earth could a person convince themself that everything she thinks about corona is just table-scraps allusions at the possibility of a gay person.

Doesn't Gideon canonically own gay porn magazines? And read erotic fiction about busty cohort soldiers? She's not queer-coded - Gideon is explicitly attracted to women.

Yes. She threatens Crux with Frontline Titties of the Fifth (a publication she's made up for the lolz, but which we can assume is par for the course of what she does read) on page 18.
