#inqueeries

(dont ask me why ford's hand is so weird, i literally drew over my own hand)

last week me and my friends played "inqueeries" which is basically cards against humanity but LGBT+ themed (very fun, would recommend), I had taken pictures of some of my favourite answers-

dipper: [blank] is an important part of the gay dating ritual

stanley: the cost of a grindr XTRA subscription

fiddleford: open relationships

stanford: gay marriage, but more importantly, gay divorce

soos: faceless profiles on a dating app

bill: getting lightly choked

mabel: bisexuals bisexualing

not gonna try to pick favorites, so here are the last few songs i listened to:

Lucky for you, I do indeed! It is, unfortunately, not a very large list, though. (and please, send me some f/f books because I have none) Sorry that this took literal months to answer haha.......

More action-oriented books include All For The Game Trilogy, The Captive Prince Trilogy, Six of Crows duology, The Song of Achilles, Proxy duology. I recommend you look up triggers for those books, especially the first two as they do have pretty sensitive content (I did make a review for The Captive Prince, but it is full of spoilers). Also, Six of Crows does not focus entirely on the m/m romance as the other books do, but it is given closure and has a good amount of content. The Proxy duology doesn’t exactly give closure, but it is heavily implied and there’s a kiss, so I’m including that as a happy ending.

More romance-oriented books include Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (though if you haven’t read that one already, then I’m surprised), Simon vs the Homosapiens Agenda (which I also reviewed), and, well… Openly Straight doesn’t have much of a happy ending but I hear the sequel does? However, I know those two books are kind of disappointing (and I will absolutely write a review on them as soon as I can get my hands on them) so maybe not. Fan Art also has a happy ending, but it doesn’t have the best writing either.

I am also in the process of reading The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue which I am... pretty sure?? has a good ending???? I haven’t exactly gotten around to finishing it yet...

Uh, wow, I do not read enough m/m fiction, damn. I have, of course, read other m/m books, but they don’t actually have happy endings ^^’ I only recently (well, in the past two years) got back into reading and I’m sort of busy focusing on writing and school, but come back in a few months and I’ll prooobably have more.

wow, it’s been a while since i’ve seen one of these floating around tumblr

1. i just moved to a new city a couple months ago where i’m trying to get settled for the next big phase of my life (AKA grad school).

2. i’m hungry, but i have dinner plans in a couple hours and i’m too lazy to make something rn :/

meh, i’ve just been thinking about movies from the 80′s, hollywood’s recent obsession with nostalgia geared towards people older than i am, and the bad things from that era of media that sometimes go unquestioned potentially sneaking back into pop culture.

Unfortunately, my supply of wlw books is severely lacking :( However, you know what I do have?? A book blog with a book rec tag! So here are some links to book recs I’ve reblogged that are either specifically wlw or have a fair amount of wlw recs in them and also fantasy recs in them:

wlw books if you like certain popular mlm books

happy/casual wlw books

unappreciated wlw books

books with wlw protagonists

Hope this helps!

I’m so sorry they’re behaving like that, that’s really shitty! 

I think you’ve got a couple of options here. If you’re feeling especially brave you can just tell them - there’s nothing wrong with saying “It makes me very uncomfortable when you label me without my consent. My identity is for me to decide, so please stop calling me bi.” But it’s very hard to do something like that if you don’t want any kind of confrontation. 

When they keep asking, you can always say “I’ll let you know when I figure it out.” That does imply that you are eventually going to pick a label which I know isn’t what you want, but it would hopefully be enough to make them fuck off. 

The only other thing I can think of is to say you’re something like “queer” or “questioning.” Although those are technically labels, they’re great because they can include the whole vast LGBTQIA+ spectrum. It means you wouldn’t have to feel so boxed in and labelled but could still give them what they want.

The issue with that, of course, is that you shouldn’t have to give them what they want. It is none of their business what you choose to call or not call yourself and saying that you don’t like labels but do like girls should be everything they need to hear. If you’re feeling particularly obnoxious about that, you could keep calling them by the wrong labels until they get annoyed and then say “yeah it’s not nice is it? Please stop calling me bi.” But you run the risk then of causing friction within the group.
