  1. Attractive
  2. YES. SEND ME ALL THE MEMES. And neither, I’ve never even met another person that I’ve known is ace (apart from you ).
  3. But what about a mii party? *mii channel song intensifies*
  4. I DON’T HAVE A DRINK RIGHT NOW.
  5. What are you impressions so far?
  6. Just then, there was a brilliant flash of light.
  7. Salad set off a party popper to help wake Truthless up.
  8. Salad gagged at the math spilled all over the bench.
  9. I somehow missed this one the first time I was scrolling through. But YES. This ship needs more attention! Their A+ support is just so cute.
  10. Ahhh this thread moves fast. Sorry this is kind of a late reply. Anytime! I don't really like getting into heated debates, especially online where everything can fall apart so quickly, but this is a topic that's important to me. I feel your pain *cries too*. I'm sorry, I honestly don't know what to say. I don't know what words would make it better, of even if those words exist. I have no idea what that must be like, but you're most definitely not being a chull. But we're with you. You don't have to fight this battle alone. *sends hugs* This made my day! If only more fanfics were like this. Yeah, I don't recall it ever being confirmed in the books. And did Brandon actually say Shallan was bi, or that he was flattered that someone read her as bi? Because those are two different things.
  11. It was proposed that the country’s new name was Cosmereland, because sanderdabs had taken over.
  12. Because they had been turned into spaghetti.
  13. I have been summoned.
  14. I think some people are missing the impact that strong representation can have. Representation (of any group, not just the LGBT community) isn’t just about spreading awareness to others, although that is a large part of it. Representation is also about giving people in said group a voice. A role model, someone to look up to. Someone who tells them they’re not broken. I cannot tell you how validating and wonderful that feels in words. To finally have someone that’s like you, who sees you, who understands you. Ranette and Drehy are tertiary characters. They barely have any screentime, and what we know about their characters is very limited. That’s it. We never see them interact with their partner, or do anything that would make the audience assume they’re not straight. The books have to outright tell us they’re gay, or we wouldn’t have picked up on it. And maybe for some, that’s fine, but for that little boy still hiding who he is, seeing a gay character just be shoved aside probably won’t feel all that great. It’ll send the message that he’s not as important. And I’m not at all saying this was Brandon’s intention. I don’t believe he’d purposely do that. But it does happen, intentional or not, and I think that Brandon has a responsibility to do better. So maybe Honorless is pushing for more representation not just because he feels the need to “make everything gay”, but because he knows the importance and impact that representation can have. Shoving the only two LGBT characters onto the sidelines doesn’t help, and it can just make those within the community feel ostracised.
  15. Uhhhh, can someone explain what’s going on?
  16. Ah, that one’s easy. I’d be an author.
  17. Now it’s stuck in my head . The bacon barnacle was forced to dance along with everyone else, or face being eaten by the breakdancing octopus.
