someone looks uncomfortable while kissing his love interest? queerbait.

someone pulls away from physical affection from his boyfriend? queerbait.

a character has a platonic soulmate? queerbait.

two men view each other as "more than friends" but their love isn't romantic? cowards.

two adult women have been dating for a year and haven't had sex with each other yet? absolutely unbelievable portrayal of lesbians.

it's always "ace people are queer too" until a guy doesn't want to kiss boys, then he's homophobic.

or god forbid a man and a woman kiss while agreeing that they can desire each other and depend on each other without being in a romantic relationship and the woman explicitly says she didn't even realize it was an option to just not date anyone for the rest of your life. but "it's a shame about the heterosexuality." like you didn't even have to squint to see the aromanticism in ikoku nikki but WHATEVER I'M NOT BITTER

like it's just really frustrating when half the time i feel ostracized from a loud and obnoxious subset of the aroace community that hates all forms of sex and shipping. and the other half of the time any character that could possibly be interpreted as ace gets ridiculed as queerbait or called het.

like somehow people are able to recognize that intimacy coordinators are important, that a lot of work has to go into making sure that actors feel safe and comfortable while filming intimate scenes. and yet people can't seem to recognize that if an actor actually looks uncomfortable while filming an intimate scene, it could be for a multitude of reasons other than them being a homophobe who can't even act.

this doesn't even get into cultural differences around physical affection but i've given up on getting people to accept that lol. i just wish ppl could view physicality as a spectrum and understand that there will be moments when even a very physically affectionate person will want to pull away from intimacy or from romantic overtures without getting their queer card revoked.

The blurb said the shot was taken in Granada, Spain, by Agneta Fondén.  No other info, so I have no idea how old, etc.  There's a game (from 1988) that uses a similar pattern on one of its pieces, but this could predate it by at least a thousand years  — or not.  But the pattern intrigued me, so I made a texture map and used Blender's geometry nodes (no generative AI) to set up a hexagon grid with random rotations for the tiles:

That's all done with a single design:

You'd think this would have a name, right?  (For its historical use as an architectural / decor tile — although I've found out more about its use in games, that's not what I'm looking for.)  Like the Penroses do (and no, it's not one of those).  But I've had no luck finding it, or any other info.  Any (human only, please) help?
