đđđ bisexuality: is typically described as the attraction to two or more genders or multiple genders. đđđ
đđđ polysexuality: is typically described as the attraction to multiple genders, but not necessarily all genders. đđđ
đđđ pansexuality: is typically described as the attraction to all genders đđđ
đ language changes. bisexuality was first officially âdefinedâ by a (presumably cishet) white male academic in the 19th century. it was initially described as the attraction to âboth sexesâ. at the time âofficialâ sexuality terminologies were very much sex orientated and did not accomodate the gender spectrum. but, as this was a general term used by certain people who had multiple gender attraction, it has continued to mean the attraction to multiple genders, not just always limited to two genders or specifically men and women. đ
đ see above. it can accommodate the whole gender spectrum, including all genders. people can be transphobic and it sucks but bisexuality is not a blanket transphobic sexuality đ
đ no, see the above definitions. a bisexual could be attracted to people across the whole gender spectrum and a pansexual could also be attracted to people across the whole gender spectrum. this isnât as complicated as some people make it: respect someoneâs label. if someone says they are bisexual, no matter your LGBT+ âstatusâ, this isnât an invitation to ask for their sex history, their âattraction listâ or anything else unless they openly provide it. believe bisexuals: they have probably considered and struggled with these feelings a lot in the past without you questioning their sexuality đ
based on that one post
Reading fics that go "Bruce never visited Jason's grave but others did" always makes me sigh, because it's LITERALLY Bruce's thing to visit graves all the fucking time. It doesn't matter if in canon he is not shown visiting Jason's grave (he does go sometimes as Batman, he is also shown multiple time to do the grieving with the memorial instead of going all the way to the cemetery), Bruce is THE grieving "the cemetery is my third home" kind of guy, kind of goth. That's his aesthetic to be standing in front of graves, of strangers to his own family. He even visits the Graysons' grave every year, without telling Dick. Even during missions in other countries, he sometimes go to the cemetery there. It's a part of him.
Damian being ready to fight Santa is one of my most favorite things alongside Bruce taking any chance he can to talk shit about Batman like they arenât the same damn person
Cuddle Pollen: Ivyâs pollen but it just makes you crave human contact to the point itâs painful
People avoiding Bruce Wayne adopting them: sometimes the adoptee is a canon bat child other times itâs LadyBug or Spider-Man. Bruce absolutely dragging Batman through the mud to the press for no apparent reason: You would think such a specific prompt could not possibly have that many fics. You would be wrong. The Justice League finding out Bruce has 10+ children and being shook: It always goes one of two ways, either one of his kids was hiding under his cape and outs him or they all show up when Bruce inevitably needs help Tim destroying another company out of pure petty spite: Idk why it's always him, but it is. The reason can vary but it's typically in defense of another family member
Actual Ray of Sunshine Robin!Jason seeing the neglected little gremlin that is 9 yrs old Tim Drake and deciding to keep him: itâs always so funny. 90% of the time itâs just Jason telling Bruce âWeâre keeping himâ and Bruce just being like âokâ
Damian trying to fight Santa Clause: I donât know when exactly we as a fandom decided that not only did Damian believe in Santa, but that he is ready to fight him at any given moment but I hope it never stops
"you're the writer, you control how the story goes" no not really. i wrote the first sentence and then my characters said "WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE" and promptly swerved into an electrical fence.
Stop letting your heart and your pussy choose your men.
Robins are weird about stairs. And I think thatâs a learned behavior.
(Also, I think Jason knows that his way is not effective in a fight. But, I also think he wouldnât be able to resist trolling the other Robins.)

Dimitri worked quickly and silently making the manâs drink.he slid the glass over to the man before turning to the sink and grabbing a glass to start cleaning with a damp rag.He sighed,finding the background chatter of the speakeasy to be obnoxious.He set down the glass and left the bar,he walked over to a table near the stage where a blonde haired woman sat.âhey rosie imma go on break alright?â Rosie sends a nod in his direction far to entranced by the little woman on the stage to give husk her full attention.âIâll tell mimzy that your on break when sheâs done with her performance.oh and do be back soon a friend of ours is coming to visit and mimzy wants him to meet you.â âsure whateverâŚâhe calls back as he walks towards the stairs.
Walking outside into the cool fall air,he lets out a sigh of contentment at the silence he was greeted with.walking into a nearby alley way he leans against the cool brick of the building above the speakeasy in attempt to quell his raging headache. Searching his pockets for a cigar

Alastor smiled to himself as he righted his bow tie and walked down the stairs to the speakeasy.as he did he was met with the sound of jazz and background chatter of the other party goers.âHey! Al over here!âa short blonde woman in a pink flapper dress called out happily.He smiled and waved at her as he walked overâmimzy dear its wonderful to see you again!âmimzy smiled back almost managing to match hisâsure is!âspecially with how busy weâve both been as of late.â Alastor nods in agreement as he turned to address the flappers beau âgood evening today rosie dear?â he say as he tipped his imaginary cap earning a giggle from both girlsâit is Alastor thank you for asking dearâthe three friends started up the small talk and had kept going until Al caught a glance at the bartender.âsay um mimzy darling,whoâs that?âhe mumbles trying to stay discreet as possible while pointing at himâwho? Oh! Right thatâs dimitri heâs our new bartender!âmimzy answered excitedly happy about their newest hireâheâs really mellow and he knows his way around the bar very well!â Rosie nodsâ I agree, heâs already gotten my order down perfectlyâshe points out.Al nods as the girls speak but heâs to busy watching the bartender to pay attention to his friends.

Dimitri walks off to the bar waving to one of his coworkers as he did.Making his way over to the ice box he digs around in it looking for the whiskey and gin,once he finds the liquors he needed he started to make mimzyâs gin rickey and Rosieâs French 75.He finishes both drinks with skill and a bit of flair having acquired a small audience without realizing.he sets the girls drinkâs on a tray before grabbing two of the nicest looking glasses he could find and set them down next to the whiskey,he then waved goodbye to his fellow barkeepers as he walked back to the table his boss and her friends were at.As he walked he noticed that there were a lot of women staring at Alastor who didnât seem to notice.He was to busy going back and forth with Rosie.Dimitri decided to shrug it off as it didnât concern him.

Husk started to pour the whiskey in the two glasses after handing Alastor his,he glanced at Al while he poured and smirked as Al turned his gaze to the floor.âsay dimitri how old are you?âMimzy inquired â24âhusk responded sounding far more interested in his alcohol than he was the conversation.âisnât that swell! Just so happens that Alâs 22!âshe said happily as alastor rolled his eyes looking out towards the stage watching the flappers dance.husk just nodded,not sure how else to respond to information he didnât ask for. Alastor hummed softly to himself as he took sips finding himself stealing glances at husk.once the girls finished dancing and the stage was vacant Al checked his watch.âoh dear itâs 12:20 already?âhe mumbled to himself only for mimzy to overhearâreally? Ally donât go yetâshe whined.Al gave her an apologetic smile before turning to huskâI apologize for having to cut our time together short and do hope to see you again Husker.âAlastor explained he then waved rosie goodbye and walked out.he hummed to himself as he walked feeling giddier than usual,he wasnât sure why but decided to blame it on the whiskey he drank earlier.he had been having so much fun that he hadnât noticed what time it was.Soon he stopped in front of a small townhouse.Pulling a key from his pocket he opened the door and walked inside.

The three adults at the table soon finish their drinks.mimzy stood from her chair and announcedâIâm off to the stage for my closing performance wish me luck!â Before walking off to her dressing room.husk put all the glasses on the tray and walked back to the bar to finish his shift,slipping in past his coworkers to finish his job.rosie had turned her attention back to the stage now interested in it again.Mimzy soon walked out to the stage and started her preformance.Soon it was 2:00am and with one glance at the clock he grabbed his coat and said his goodbyes.he left the speakeasy and headed towards the trolley.he knew that there was one that came late at night as it was the one he usually rode.heâd make to the stop just in time like he normally did,step in and pay the fair and find his normal seat near the window in the 4th row.
