anyway here are some of my favorite lesbian books 📚
1. last night at the telegraph club by malinda lo
set during the 1950s in san fransisco, it's a coming of age story about lily hu who discovers her sexuality as she secretly goes to a lesbian bar with her "close friend" kath
the manga is literally called woke hat atelier by she/herahama kamome 🙄🙄 DONT READ IT IF YOU’RE A HOMOPHOBE you will NOT enjoy it…. there’s literally a character called queerfrey and f. agott ?!???? … absolutely disgusting. DO NOT READ THIS WOKE SERIES..
WHAT 💀 I HATE YOU STUPID YAOI FUCKS SO MUCH THAT BOY TILL AIN'T EVEN GAY MIZISUA IS LITERALLY CANON I CAN'T STAND YALL YOU DON'T DESERVE THIS IMMACULATE DOOMED YURI
People are going to watch/read witch hat atelier thinking the mcs are gay when it's a complex story about oppression/discrimination/abelism/etc and leave. Why lie when there's a CANON gay couple. No, it's not qifrey and olruggio
wasn’t gonna watch the fantasy mukbang anime but all this yaoi propaganda of the unnerving blond man and the beautiful brown trans guy with miley cyrus eyes is starting to lure me in
@BB8FILES
see this is my problem with yaoi ships they ALWAYS overshadow yuri every single time and it's so ANNOYING I HATE THEM that's why im a yuri elitist (finnpoe is my only exception i love them they're yuri adjacent
#tome
)
she said being called a violent man who beats on women is what brings shame on her family and country she didn't even bring up transness not even once bc she quite literally can't stop lying on and spreading misinformation about her she's dealt with enough already
it's kinda sad that actually has a bunch of people that ships in secret bc people in this fandom is too hateful and not everyone can handle the hate so they keep quiet
@oldstoneds
this genuinely made me so mad this whole "rhaenicent reunion" is just rhaenyra being insanely cruel and selfish and all me me me and my daddy like wow alicent is such a saint bc i would've killed her
2. our wives under the sea by julia armfield
a gothic horror about miri whose wife leah returns from a deep sea mission that ended in catastrophe, and it follows them navigating their relationship now that leah is back but "different".
(if you like bly manor you'll love this)
if the misogyny was an intentional element of the story it would actually be discussed and challenged not briefly mentioned just for nobara to give her girlboss "if you're struggling bc of the patriarchy, don't! im pretty AND strong" speech
“There needs to be more women as sorcerers”.
Im gonna hold your hand when I say this. The misogyny of Jujutsu Society is the cause, not Gege.
Its an active flaw that Gege critiques through the exceptions to the rule like Maki, Nobara, Mai, witch hat girl, even Mei Mei.
4. priory of the orange tree by samantha shannon
a feminist retelling of st george & the dragon, it follows queen sabran who must conceive a daughter to protect her realm, while her lady in waiting ead, who is part of a hidden society of mages, protects her with forbidden magic.

13. this Is how you lose the time war by amal el-mohtar & max gladstone

6. she who became the sun

7. the jasmine throne by tasha suri
set in a world inspired by the history of india, a princess who wants to depose her tyrant brother who is holding her captive from his throne & a maid priestess in possession of forbidden magic become unlikely allies to save their empire.
3. she gets the girl by alyson derrick & rachael lippincott
a romcom in a college setting, molly who wants to impress her longtime crush & alex who wants
to get her ex girlfriend back, team up in order to accomplish their goals but slowly end up falling for each other instead.
9. everyone in this room will someday be dead by emily austin
it follows gilda, an atheist lesbian who just cannot stop thinking about death. she takes up a job as a church receptionist & soon finds herself morbidly obsessed with her predecessor's mysterious death.
Megan Thee Stallion responds to criticism over her performance at Kamala Harris rally:
“They was fake mad that I was popping it for Kamala. And I don’t think they heard what she said. Kamala said she wants a ceasefire. Kamala said she supports women’s rights. Kamala said she’s
alicent going to rhaenyra like "you were right & i was wrong" is not only fucking stupid but also in a way justifying the insane vitriolic misogyny she was met with i hate this show so bad
@jealucyuri
omg in my m/m edits i changed the lyric to “she’s nothing more than ur wife” is that chill???? i mean the context is that she was kinda nasty to them but i agree on the m/f what’s that all about:/
#iwtvspoilers
my biggest gripe with the "armand was willing to let louis die" twist is that it minimizes his role in claudia's death, which should've been reason enough for louis leaving him but now she's nothing but a prop in their relationship/divorce instead of the catalyst
remember when i posted about the insane ao3 ratio and those freaks harassed me in comments qrts and even dms for days... and now this 💀 this is why ivantill will always be fanon unrequited bland yaoi of a straight boy in love with a lesbian and the dead gay guy who likes him
pedophiles are the most protected group of people. the law, their families, their communities, and, if they're celebrities, their fans, all defend them and cover up for them
I've said it before but I do not understand why people are so performative when it comes to shit like this. Pedophiles are universally hated. There's absolutely zero need to be like "I HATE PEDOPHILES, ANYONE ELSE?" unless you're trying to compensate for something.
8. the unbroken by c.l clark
a military fantasy based on the french occupation of north africa, it follows touraine who was stolen as a child & raised as an empire soldier. she is sent to stop a rebellion & runs into luca who wants to get her throne that was stolen by her uncle.
11. fortune favors the dead by stephen spotswood
a murder mystery set in 1945, it follows detective lillian pentecost and her circus-runaway-knife-throwing assistant willowjean parler as they investigate the murder of the matriarch of the wealthy collins family.
10. siren queen by nghi vo
magical realism historical fiction set in old hollywood, it follows chinese american lesbian luli wei, who wants to be a star & is willing to become a monster to achieve it, throughout her entire career, including her numerous affairs with her costars.
"on a leash", "sora and haena" & any yuri where the brown/black character is bulky massive and is either "dominant " or has to be "tamed" by the petite pale one, are racist. you'd think that's obvious but those types of stories are always so popular within yt lesbian circles
maybe im a buzzkill but people seeing jace call the smallfolk mongrels and going "he's so alicent's son 🤪" pmo so bad when his mother is literally little miss "their wants are of no consequence"
idc if he's willing or "oh but the age on consent in japan" idc about any of that she's a grown woman 20 years his elder who is in a direct position of power over him bc she's literally HIS COACH and he's a child just 16 yo this is so fucked up she's a pedophile and a predator
Former figure skater Ando Miki (36) spotted holding hands with her student (16) who is 20 years younger at Universal Studios Japan. He is a promising junior skater and Ando became his full-time coach last fall, when he was in his third year of junior high school.
12. crier's war by nina varela
ya scifi, it follows ayla, whose parents were killed by automae-artificial humans that became the ruling class-who works as a servant & plans to kill the sovereign’s daughter lady crier, who is engaged to a politician that wants to kill all humans.
He lived in a time when the age of consent was 13, and there's no evidence he had any sexual contact with anyone even under 18. At any point. But it's super INTERESTING that nobody calls contemporary straight men to him pedophiles. Super interesting. Just find it interesting.
some of you claim to like alicent's complexity but get offended when anyone tries to discuss her flaws or anything about her outside of her relationship with rhaenyra
qrts are so funny yall wrote thousands of shitty fics about aemond defecting for yalls boring daemon's daughter ocs but god forbid tg wants to write sth similar grow tf up
@bluixi
the actual appropriate revenge from dyana would be her serving aegon his poisoned food/drink, not helping child murderer rapists attack an innocent woman and her toddlers 💀
how embarrassing for her as a woman to have a man explain to her how a 14 yo little girl is not at fault for being forced to marry an old man 💀 this is why i can never watch hotd reactions these people piss me off so bad how are you this stupid
To think this is the average perception of Alicent is so draining. If you’re going to hate her for something maybe don’t pick the fact that she was forced into a marriage by two men that hold more power over her than she herself ever will. Thank god he ate her up…
again, she said what's shameful is being called a violent man who beats on women, she never even mentioned transness bc she quite literally can't please stop lying on this woman's name and leave her alone
Normalize taking care of men. Hold him, play with his hair, comfort him, hug him from behind, kiss his forehead. It doesn't make him less than a man. It makes him stronger, makes u stronger together. Normalize taking care of ur man the same way u would want him to take care of u
@kebabblee
especially bc it's genuinely not far fetched at all??? the way agott acts towards coco is exactly how tartah does it's such an obvious crush
@joseipium
exactly like him liking her is absolutely not an indication that she likes him back 💀 hcs are fine or wtv but i get so annoyed when these people treat it as fact
i couldn't care less about mihoyo but istg gay men need to stay tf out of these conversations who tf are you to dictate what is or isn't wlw fetishization you fucking loser
@StarRailVerse1
Sad how Mihoyo always defaults to girl on girl instead of giving attention to guys but i guess it’s just fetishization in the end. Dunno how anyone sees this as proper representation
qrts are so whiny and annoying there is ACTUAL yuri in alien stage but yall would rather put all your energy into a mid het ship and overcompensate by calling it yuri yall do anything but engage with actual yuri
This man, Yusuf Dikeç, got his practice shooting being part of a police division (the Turkish gendarmerie) in Merdīn (ܡܪܕܝܢ) in 1995-1999. The gendarmerie was a special division, murdering Kurds& Assyrians with continued impunity in a heavily colonized region, Assyria/Kurdistan.
before following any hotd account i need to make sure they're team green (or like alicent at the very least) and before i follow any team green stan i need to check their opinion on criston bc some of yall are very stupid when it comes to him leave my silly kitten alone
cutiepie, likes ponies, likes annoying tyland, can read at 4 yo, would've legalized lesbianism for his meemaw. name 3 things about rhaenyra's boring ass kids (jace oomf look away)
PHIA: “I am so brainwashed, spending all my time with Team Green, I don’t think I can actually see a world outside of it. It’s hard because I do take on the show through the lens of my character and that’s my paradigm. So, from Helaena’s perspective, she’s so inside of it.“
“the point of the shows is that monarchies are terrible” NO IT’S NOT, that was game of thrones, this is about a WOMAN getting USURPED because she’s a woman, the dance of dragons has always been about misogyny
yall should've known this lady wasn't smart when she wrote a whole article called "twitter is the worst reader" comparing swana people upset about orientalism in dune to trump supporters and anti asian harry potter fans 💀
