something weird
im bi but I tend to get crushes on fictional male characters more that real men and real women more than fictional female characters
so I guess I like to concept of men
i think this is a common feeling because men are written with such depth and complexity, whereas fictional women are not only few and far between, but are written half-assedly and from a place of little understanding of a woman’s standpoint.
meanwhile, real women are lovely and complex people, and real men are mostly just potatoes.

I’d rather teach my daughter how to embrace her wild than teach her how to be ashamed of her body or how to feel guilty for being a woman.

what’s fucked up is when you read a book and the main heroine is like “I don’t care about boys. I’ve never wanted that sort of life… I don’t want to grow up and fall in love with a man or be married. I don’t think I ever will. And I don’t want to or need to.” and you’re like holy shit this is??? prime… ground… for some sapphic antics–
but then it turns out that really all she needed was A Special Guy in order to fall into blissful Special Heterosexual Love that is Different from Regular Heterosexual Love and it Changes Her Life
Consider:
- Victorian England: 1837-1901
- American Old West: 1803-1912
- Meiji Restoration: 1868-1912
- French privateering in the Gulf of Mexico: ended circa 1830
Conclusion: an adventuring party consisting of a Victorian gentleman thief, an Old West gunslinger, a disgraced former samurai, and an elderly French pirate is actually 100% historically plausible.
