I'm just- so in love with them
What if Renaissance (or is it Baroque? XD) paintings can play rock n roll? God answered-
Not even joking, y'all, Scarleteen is an amazing resource that deserves attention and (if you've got the cash for it) donations so they can keep providing thorough education about sex, consent, relationships, etc to folks of all ages who need it.
@sage-derby Yes!!!
Here’s a rundown of their general policy, from literally the first article I clicked on just now:
As you might be getting from that, they’re pretty intersex inclusive, too. Here’s a sample of something that’s a little more directly about sex-specific stuff in case you’re thinking “well but they said that was just about pleasure tho”:
They have a lot of sections on their site, but number two is Gender:
“That’s probably just like hetero gender dynamics stuff tho...” Nay nay! Here’s a few of the articles from the first page of their “Gender” section:
Scarleteen was a huge help to me as a trans person. They have a live chat that has sex-ed type folks giving real-time answers, and even just the staff+volunteers who happened to be attending to the live chat were able to help me with weird niche trans problems - a decade ago, when trans people, it seemed, damn near didn’t exist. They are EFFING AWESOME and want to help you!!!!

Y'all our sexuality is valid. Proud to be in this cozy community. Ace pride!! 💜
saying a character 'doesn't' doesn't make them ace, you're just reading into it
i'm not saying this to be 'malicious' or whatever, but don't say that a characters sexuality is canon when it isn't, having headcanons is okay but don't tag it as 'canon asexual character'
i tag my fics with 'canon asexual character' bc jon is canonically asexual
it's not reading into it. it's canon. it's been confirmed by jonny and alex. just bc jon hasn't said the words 'i'm asexual' doesn't mean it's any less canon. he's not exactly the most open character anyway, it would be out of character for him to say that. martin has never said 'i'm gay' but people seem fine with assigning him that label. we heard jon's sexuality be confirmed secondhand, and while that wasn't the best way to do it, it did make sense within the narrative. i would've preferred a more concrete coming out, which is why i've written that several times.
we hear from jon that tim has had relationships with men and women, but i've never seen anyone take issue with people saying tim is bi or pan. jon is canonically asexual, if you have an issue with that then i think you're in the wrong place
Beep beep here’s all the canon ace Jon stuff. Anon you did seem to correctly identify the “Doesn’t” scene which, I mean I suppose that’s not technical proof because it’s possible for an allo person to also be sex repulsed/averse but I would say it’s far more likely for that to mean ace out of context.
In context however, we have stuff like right after that episode Jonny making this tweet confirming Jon as ace, it being mentioned in the patreon version of the S3 Q&A, it being mentioned on various twitch streams Jonny has done, and this part of the S4 Q&A Part One:
Question: As an ace person it really means a lot to have John as asexual representation in a podcast. Can I ask at what point in planning the podcast you decided to make that happen?
JONNY: That’s a very good question and it’s a difficult one to answer because it’s one of those… where… it wormed its way into – sort of – essentially my head canon quite early in the writing process and then later, I think during season two when it started to actually become more textually relevant we, sort of, we were discussing it and we – yeah – nailed down the idea, but it’s – it’s a really tricky – it’s a tricky question to answer as to at what point that character inkling became a canonical facet? [......]
The thing is I remember – the thing is I remember a conversation at some point during season one where we were sort of discussing what we thought the various characters’ sexualities were? And it was like, “Yeah – no – I think John’s ace,” and, um, Alex – Alex was like “Yeah, no, that sounds – that sounds right.”
^^^ THIS. But also, I wanna put my two cents in. Its true that in-universe it's not explicitly stated, but besides the confirmation from jonny himself, it's heavily implied.
I can't remember the episode, for those who do- pls feel free to tag, but I distinctly remember where Georgie spoke about her relationship with Jon to Melanie and how he was never physically intimate with her or at least never initiated it.
EDIT:
Ok, so it actually happened! Nice.
Although, I made a mistake. Apparently, it was a conversation between Melanie and Basira, not Georgie. And if you wanna check it out. It's in ep106.
Lux calling Pedro “El Pedro”.
Nearly 200 German actors just came out via a manifesto in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, asserting their own queerness and making a big, concerted push for better representation in German media.

Gods I want to promote Sense 8 so badly but I don't freakin know how to begin describing it. Help???
Uhh Best Sci-fi shit? Telepathic link between 8 wonderful, amazing, beautiful queer people?? They see, hear, feel anything and everything. (Yes, including sex- #polyamoryisinevitable) It's called a Cluster.
POC and significant lgbtq+ rep. A Transwoman is one of the main characters.
It's so good!!! It's amazing. So groundbreaking. The Cluster is such a wholesome group you just want to give them everything. Everything. Please sign the petition to renew this show please I beg 😭😭🙏🙏💜💜💜💜💜💜 (it's one of the most brilliant shows that Netflix' fuck over I'll never forgive that)
Edit: Ok, for those who are curious and in need of a more coherent explanation of the basic premise (sorry 😅😂) pls watch this amazing video essay by Ladyknightthebrave one of my fave vid-essayist (that even Mike Flanagan followed- her Haunting of the Hill House analysis was sooo good you guys).
Her vid, was well thought out as always and please take heed of the content warnings.
To know the basic premise of the show and avoid spoilers, just watch the first 3mins of the video. The rest is Spoiler-y territory.
Ummmm WHY WAS I JUST NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS?!?!?! WHY AREN’T PPL MAKING NOISE OVER THIS?!?!?!
for those who don’t want to watch the video it was basically saying they are trying hard for a season 3 but they need us to make noise on social media and rewatch the show this month! We got a 2 hour special out of the noise we made last time and the creator was basically saying if we care enough netflix will care enough so MAKE SOME NOISE CLUSTER!!!
GUYS FREAKIN HELL THIS IS ACTUALLY REAL!!! THEY ALREADY HAVE S3 WRITTEN FR!! SIGN THE PETITION TO CONTINUE THIS EFFIN SHOW.
It's so brilliant I haven't used any of my social media apps for almost 2 days just to binge-watch this show istg 😂
Finn fact, Vanya is originally a male name. Fitting? I say yes.
Elliot was playing the long game this ENTIRE TIME
