It’s not about whether a character is trans or gay. Gay characters make sense. People have been gay for millennia. Trans however. Not the case. In a high fantasy setting, how in the balls are they going to perform surgery where they change the sex of the character??? It makes no sense at all. They’d have to explain it. And remember, this is high fantasy, Game of Thrones is also in that category. This is a time where they would reach into your body with an object strikingly similar to a salad tossing spoon to yank out a small piece of arrowhead. Pretty sure they hadn’t figured out a surgery as complex as a sex change…
The people complaining that there aren’t enough gay/trans people in stuff like this are just as bad if not moreso than the people who complain about gay/trans people being in stuff like this.
Create your own fantasy world filled with nothing but gay/trans people. Make it so that being heterosexual is the minority. All the power to you. Good luck trying to create it.
You don’t have to have surgery to be transgender. Lots of transgender people don’t. Transgender people, people who identify with the gender not corresponding with their birth sex, have existed before the surgery. And the existence of and recognition of a third sex or dual sex existed in pre-modern times in lots of places are the world.
So, for one, your “how in the balls are they going to perform surgery“ question doesn’t actually matter. They don’t need to in order for transgender people to exist.
But if they did want to include transgender people who undergo physical changes to reflect their gender/sexual identity, in a HIGH FANTASY world, there’s actually a really easy answer to that:
*ahem*
“How are you going to make someone trans in a fantasy setting full of magic spells, potions, and artifacts?”
shout out to the elixir of sex shift for covering more than just a gender binary.
Conservatives are afraid of AOC, and they’re attacking her with some of the very same qualities we love her for. She’s young. She’s honest and direct. She’s working for direct and immediate action on climate change.
But they’re also calling her stupid, uneducated, ignorant. It can be easy to let some of that seep into our mental image of her. To think “sure, she might not have the formal training some of these people have, but she’s still awesome!”
So I think it’s important to remember (and actively remind people) that AOC graduated cum laude from Boston University with a degree in international relations and economics. She’s far better qualified for the position she holds than many of her co-workers. Conservatives (many of whom honestly think the gold standard is an economic panacea) will try to lecture her on market issues in particular, to convince voters that she doesn’t know how finance works. Don’t let them.
Imagine live action osmosis jones and the scenes that take place outside of franks body are completely animated
If you see this do NOT call an exterminator, call a beekeeper to relocate them for you.
Fuck that, I’m calling a SWAT team
No you’re not
Hey man! Bees are extremely important! They are the worlds most efficient and effective pollinators! without bees we wouldn’t have lots of fruit and vegetables and nuts! Like cucumbers, almonds, cherries, and that’s just naming a few. Because these plants can only be pollinated by bees, therefore if there were no bees there would be none of those foods! that’s why you gotta kiss bees and not kill them
Yep! These bees are swarming. They have all gathered there before heading off together to find a new place to build a hive! At this point in a Swarm, the bees can actually just be knocked in to a box and taken to an appropriate Hive, as long as you have the queen. She’s in there somewhere. Honestly during the swarm ball bees are pretty chill. Nothing to get over excited or frightened about.
Bees are the least likely to harm you while they’re swarming like this. At this point, there isn’t a hive or any young for them to protect. Seriously, it’s not worth jacking nature even more just because you don’t wanna get stung (especially when you’re very unlikely to be)
Bees are dying off in an alarming rate and we need to do everything we can to help them. If they’re not around to pollinate our food crops, we are truly screwed.
If I ever have this issue, I’ll call a beekeeper, but I’ll be standing 100 feet away having a panic attack when I do it
(They’re super important i know but I have an intense phobia of bees but this is still good info to have)
bees dont attack unless you threaten their hive. If you leave them alone, they wont bother you, though you will need to occasionally call a beekeeper to safely relocate the hive.
The bug to channel your aggression towards are wasps which are absolute assholes who will sting without provocation because theyre assholes
into the spider-verse really is a love letter to the forms of art that get disparaged as not “real art”. it shows off the very best of 3d animation, street art and graffiti, rap, and comic books and you can tell so much love and care went into portraying them at their most beautiful and impactful
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
