spreading the good word about fictional lesbians

Hey there! I'm Miss Prince, and I am total yuri trash, as you can see. I post random stuff, mostly fandom-related. My current "home base" fandom, so to speak, is Dangan Ronpa; everything else kind of fluctuates. See above for some of my ships! Let's see if I remember to keep those icons updated...

Sick of people treating any sort of overlap between lesbian and bi women's communities as a thing of the past. If you are a bi woman who dates women you are going to end up in "lesbian spaces", "lesbian culture" is often going to be your culture, and "lesbian issues" are often going to be your issues. Bi women should not be expected to just like. shut up and let the REAL Sapphics(tm) take the reins in every single conversation ever, especially not in conversations where a bi woman's perspective is noticeably lacking. Despite it all this is still My Community and thus I am going to be affected by its issues. Lol

Like I know that bi positivity posts have convinced everyone on this website that all bi women are monogamously married to a normie cishet man but still post "step on me 😍" tweets about women in Marvel movies, but a very considerable amount of bisexual women primarily or even exclusively date women, are partially or fully immersed in Lesbian Culture as their primary interaction with The Community, are still bisexual, and are thus going to be a little bit critical of the prevalence of shit like idk. "if you're into women but have fantasies about pegging men it's actually just comphet". We are part of your community and you should listen to us sometimes

I believe that lesbian and bi women's communities are inherently interlinked and I believe both that bi women should be allowed and encouraged to critique the biphobia that can exist within "lesbian spaces", AND that lesbians should be allowed and encouraged to critique the lesbophobia that can exist within "bisexual spaces". This is how you ACTUALLY foster a sense of intercommunity kinship and "solidarity", not just by reblogging "in real life lesbians and bi women are kissing!!!!!" posts

Begging ppl who say 1st/2nd-person POV is cringe to read something other than (poorly written) fanfic. That's like saying "the color blue is cringe"

1st Person – More intimate than 3rd. Seamless blending of a character’s outside and interior world. Since everything filters through a POV character, it’s a great opportunity for flavor and a distinct voice.

2nd Person – The Most intimate POV. Great for building empathy and/or playing with the reader’s agency (excellent for horror or blurring lines of reality)

*This one does a fun trick with POV. See if you can catch it.

**link also contains another short story ‘Homecoming’

Feel free to add more.

For 2nd person I think everyone should read The Man Who Sailed His House by Michael Paternity as an exercise in empathy

and for great 1st person non traditionally published fiction (because a part of me always feels obliged to defend "low brow" avenues like r/nosleep):

Don’t forget classics like Frankenstein and Dracula, how did we come to the fact third person is the only “acceptable” way of writing when many stories were written in first person all the time?

i think we as a society need to start accepting that fictional love stories need to be a bit toxic for us to go insane over them… like, sometimes you kinda need the two parties to be obsessed with each other and fucked up and willing to bring each other back from the dead instead of moving on and go to therapy i’m sorry😔

it's always funny when someone comments on eurodance like "why don't they make music like this anymore" because they DO and it's one of the most creatively stagnant genres on earth (spoken with love in my heart for it)

Avatar

all you need to make eurodance is one female vocalist (mediocre-to-incredible), one male vocalist who Cannot sing but can say shit like "I'm a sex king man with a party plan / international nation hand in hand" in a deep voice, and an apartment somewhere in italy

earlier today i told an acquaintance in passing that i'll often be in the middle of a novel and think "man i wish this shit were more ambiguous" and had to reiterate twice that i wasn't being sarcastic before they believed me, so this post is to say: i love when writers don't bother to explain everything, i love when stories end uncertain and unsettling, i love being required to think as a reader, i love when stuff makes no damn sense, no i'm not kidding
